The more videos you put out the faster your channel will grow ! Your prep to come to Alaska was outstanding, your selection of equipment was truly made for this environment. The work ethic is outstanding along with the knowledge of how equipment can be used. This is going to be a great channel to watch as you build your homestead ❤ Best regards from another PA, guy John

Chris is a beast on that machine! Shoot, the machine is a beast pulling out those big stumps! The goats had a feast, too!

You guys have the BEST VIDEOS OF ANYONE IN ALASKA

Chris, you have just been awarded 1st Place in the Stump Puller competition ! 😮

The video is better because of your increased dialog and great editing. Keep up the good work. Make more videos!

Amazing work. Your expertise on heavy equipment shows! What a great team you make!

So much work but such an inspiring project! Two more hours of sunshine plus greenhouses makes sense. Way to go!

You both work well as a team,thanks for taking us along.👍🥰

As a forester of 32 years, I was relieved to see chainsaw protection being used in this one. I've always said that a chainsaw is the most dangerous thing that you can operate without a licence and I've seen some very unpleasant accidents over the years. Say safe, love the content. G'day from Australia 🖐🏻 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸

The old skid steer stole the show seems very tough as well the operator Great watch 👍👋🇨🇦

Nice job on cleaning your land. Katie your a champ you always amaze me when you’re working with Chris by his side with a chainsaw or power tools. I’m excited to see how you guys turn that into lumber. It’s always fun to watch your guys video’s. Chris sure can run that skidsteer. Awesome job guys.

That’s a lot of work for you guys!….. you sure are getting after it!….

You two really did a great job today.

great job folks. your trees are a lot bigger than the ones I cut and stacked today

You did an amazing job clearing that area. Thank goodness for the skid steer. Plus you made the goats happy 😊.

You are doing amazing work inspirational.

Nice job you two. Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse build. 😊

Hi thank you for your video great to see your work is amazing a great team 😘 xx❤❤❤

And you have good trees on your land that you can mill up great job guys

Вы лучшие.🎉

I just love your videos. The two of you are such hard workers, and your property is magnificent as a result.

That little Case skid loader gets the job done, but jeez that's a really bouncy rocky ride, you must feel sea sick after a couple of hours LOL

Lots of goodies for the goats! ♥️

Alright Christopher, this old lady's heart can't take much of the skid steer almost flipping but I must say that's a good little skid steer you have right there.... Thanks for sharing you two...

Great job well done

Wow that's a lot of work accomplished! Thank God for chain saws, skid steers, grapples, and good partners. A Goat buffet and Moose snack bar, Keep up the good work

Хорошая работа пилой! Отличный участок! Лоси! Хороший прицеп!Классное видео получилось! Мне понравилось! Круто Круто!!!👍👍👍

Anyone else try shaking their phone to "help knock off the dirt" from those stumps? 😂 Great job! Looks like a clean canvas. Ready for your next masterpiece!

Clever and skilful use of the loader. Good to see the right PPE when using chainsaw etc., so many seem to take an avoidable risk by not doing so. Great clearance. 👍 Best regards, Phil, Suffolk, U.K. 🇬🇧

You guys are fantastic luv the show !

Chris you are a beast on that skid steer… lol I just saw someone else made the same comment. Now your tree felling skills left me a bit nervous lol. But you two did an incredible job getting that land opened up! That pine sap will make for some sticky goat muzzles but I understand the greenery and bark is good for clearing out the harmful parasites too, desert and salad all in one branch… a lot of wins on the homestead for all. Thanks for sharing!

There is such rich dirt once you cleared the trees out.. No snakes in Alaska I hope, I love to watch you two work together on your projects. God Bless...,..

It’s clear from the video that you have good organic content in your soil One of the reasons why you still see frost under stump tells that it rains good in your area and that’s why roots are not so deep as they don’t have to go deep into ground to pull moisture out and water from all the moisture is high enough that it causes frost under trees Also please don’t burn any stump as it has great biodiversity attached to them so use it for hogoculture purposes and all the branches after goats are done can be shredded for mulching Try not to compact the ground too much as you have great soil for outdoor crops Last but not least you definitely know how to use your Case to it’s maximum capacity Great job,it’s coming along perfectly well

Happy dog.

Great job

You guys are hard workers!! Love watching the Lab, SO cute!!!! Moose! BONUS :)

Great team.

Love your videos. We watched the video of why you moved and it was spot on. Alaska is such a beautiful state. We are from Pennsylvania too and feel the same especially the humidity.

Perfect skillset to accomplish your goals, especially heavy equiptment mechanic! Fun watching!

Just love watching u 2!!!! 💜😊

Watching this, well, it's so very satisfying! One thing I can say, when you come to Alaska, you come with the right tools for the jobs you have to do, ...All the jobs! That skid Steer is one beast of a handy machine!

Your soil looks extremely robust! Very nutrient rich and will make for excellent gardens. Just a FYI sphagnum moss is excellent for your gardens. Not only do you get all the mycorrhizal fungi from the thousands of years of composting it acts as an aerator also. I grab all my moss in my area I can find and add it to my gardens whenever possible. Also I bet your goats are absolutely loving all that pine. Pine does help slightly with deworming I’ve read over the years. A rate of 30% lower eggs in the fecal matter etc. You two are doing great work up there!

Binge watcher! Love your content!

You guys have been busy hi from Colorado Springs 😀

Very good editing, excellent video. Fun to watch the progress on your homestead! You both are neat tidy and organized plus smart❤,Diana

Nice job you two!

Love the machine❗️ great work You Two are doing to make the most of your land👌💯💜🦋

Great video. Great skid steer skills. Y’all are great together. Keep up the videos.

love your videos hugs from Denmark

Glad you have that skid steer. Makes the work a little easier. Looking good. Good luck. See you again soon. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️

Wall-E put in a lot of work in this video. I agree about hating to cut down old growth trees but it is for a very good cause. You two are gonna make some great progress this summer, it already shows. Cant wait to see where you are when the snow falls again

Excellent video a lot of hard work but you guys rocked it 👏👏👏

I love watching your videos…you’re going to build your KZfaq fast!

My, that's a whole lot of work!

The place is looking awesome Great video

I really enjoy your vids. Dan , Edmonton , Alberta, Canada😅

Brillant content again ..that little case with the grabber is amazing...love your channel...blessings from little old ireland 🇮🇪

Can use the thin trees for poles around area U clean for a fence. Grate job, can see Chris enjoy his masjine

Wow guys, that’s a whole Lotta lumber and firewood

Outstanding, truly amasing what hard work and some solid equipment can accomplish these days, if only this was available 40 years ago. new subscriber, wish you well.

Hi again from Australia. We are now retired and my work life was not too disimilar to yours. I was mechanical fitter and machinist with building experience over the years. On may 15th just passed we were thinking of you all day as we were in Seward, It was the best day of the year weather wise according to a local we talked to, that owns a log house down near the RV park on the waterfront. We walked the town all day and was impressed with the earth quake videos they screened at the library and the coffee at the old church. Also we had lunch at the firebrand BBQ grill on the main road down from a park. Anyway I cant help giving you a 10 out of 10 for your building of the home. My wife says you are so much like me with your work ethic and accuracy. Do it once and do it right is my motto. All the best with your projects this year and look us up if you come to Australia Ha Ha.

That’s a mighty machine you’ve got there! Not pretty but worth it’s weight in gold

Seriously, love your channel! It would've given me/us a good perspective on the land you cleared to the relation of where it was at. Love your channel! Wish you'd post more!

Can’t believe that skid steer pulled up those stumps.

You know your skid-steer's capabilities. I'm surprised at the ability it has in removing those stumps. I know the soil is looser and the roots aren't super deep but still, those are some good size stumps. You did a great job in clearing things out. I didn't realize you're that close to the coast. Nice job 👏🏻

The Case 1845C is a great workhorse ❤👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I like yr safety concious. Also articulate in expl.anation,thanks

I want to give props to whoever assembled and edited this video… it must have taken forever! Also, no Milwaukee chainsaw? 😅

Question: the heavy equipment machines you use- do you rent them - buy them??? How did you know how to use/drive them??? It looks fun!!! Nice job clearing the land!

Why not get your own shredder, if you have the saw mill this could be finically viable! Good work 😊😊😊😊😊

!!!! you are wearing saw chaps!!! I spend a huge amount of time clearing my crappy woods and 2x they have saved me!- Never spent money so wisely

Good to see you're both wearing chaps. How much land do you have there. Making room to get in a much larger solar set is ideal for going off grid as well as providing your own food.

I am in Australia. Here the trees are tap rooted. You seem to be dealing with surface rooted trees. A very different clearing job it seems earlier to pick out the stumps, but you are dealing with a lot of small tash.

How long did it take for the goats to clean those pine branches? As always, love seeing Benelli, what a happy dog

If you get an opportunity, it would be interesting to see a video about turning the tree roots into mulch at the farm.

Couple of things I've been curious about and might make for an in-between short video or 2. 1. Task Management. Do you keep one long running list? Are there categories, like "Cabin", "Food", "Land Management" etc? How often do you add to your task list? What format does that take shape in? Like a google doc or sheet, or do you have poster boards lining the RV? 2. Task Decision Tree. How are you deciding what task to do for which project on a day to day basis. Certainly weather and resources play a large role in this, and of course there are order of operations on things like the cabin. What is your task fail-over plan when you wake up and conditions are not right for the days task? 3. Labor Management. Have you committed to something like a traditional work day we're you're, at least, trying to put in X hours per day. Is it more like we felt like working 4 today, but tomorrow might be a 16 hour day? 4. Project Management. In the abstract, of course, the goal is to have a livable cabin with reliable water, food, and power. But are you breaking down the end game in to smaller projects? Do you have milestones or goals you're shooting for? How do you manage your expectation of "on track/time" vs feeling fallen behind? Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel on the second video, it will be interesting to see the whole project through.

Be nice to have access to chipper/shredder to reduce all that debris into much/shavings.

I just cleared an area for our sawmill and of course scraped that thick mat of tundra turf off along with the bazillion deadwoods and from your video I'm realizing I could have used that mat to make compost? Certainly that seems obvious but I didn't do it. I've got that stuff lined up in big piles along with the deadwoods and roots and stumps. Do you do anything special to the mats to make them compost? Add something to them? I'm about to clear some more area for some solar arrays and I'd like to do it right next time because we could use some compost given our plans to build a greenhouse next summer. Love your videos!

If you burn those stumps you would get a bunch of Potash and Calcium for the garden to be fertilized with

Question: the machine you use- do you rent them - buy them??? How did you know how to use/drive them??? It looks fun!!! Nice job clearing the land! Why don’t you rent a chipper and have your stumps and tiny limbs made into wood chips n sawdust for the garden n other areas??

Your latest video has not appeared on my feed, very strange. Watched on my home page. Just wondered if anyone else as had the same problem or if youtubes algarithms are involved. I have the 'ALL' button on (like all my other subscribers) but still not got your latest video come through 🤷‍♀️

Are you guys just working on the Cabin behind the scenes?

What about chipping the branches ,the wood chips could be put down for trails to get to the water or to use for the sloppy area .

Weird, this video did not and still does not show up on my sub feed. Just found it browsing randomly.

Use a tape measure and measure the circumference of the tree every inch is a year. 😊

Are moose more active than the summer than the winter cuz y'all got an awful lot of them most out there you did a good job cleaning up that looks really nice

😎👍👍

Can the duff layer be plowed under for added organic matter to the soil (for holding moisture)?

you need to rent a big wood chipper so you have them for the garden.

😇👍👍👍👍👍🙏

You are a good team! Your dog is a good helper too! Just like my lab, he always wants to be where the action is.

what brand and model is your grapple, any issues with it?

Dags för ett tak över sågverket så att ni kan såga året om . Ett virkes lager vore också bra , Där kan sågat virke torka

what part of AK. are you at? those are big trees

Do you burn your tree stumps or hide them and let nature take its course?
