Be safe brother - Put on a roof safety harness. One slip is not worth the risk

Please use a body harness when working on the roof. I get shivers when I see you working up there without fall protection. Super nice snowcat, you will enjoy it a lot

You are on the right track now for construction.

Cool new work horse! It will be fun to see it in the upcoming winter. Appreciate all the things your teaching me and my husband. The cabin looks great, beautiful weather too. You have the patience of a Saint, with all that tedious cutting and sawing over and around giant nails! Amen. Hello and well wishes to Mrs O and tiny O. Thanks for another outstanding video. God bless 🌲🪓🔦

Such tedious time-consuming work. The pride you'll feel when you look back and know you did this all by hand with your father will be unmeasurable. Look forward to the next vid. Great job as always.

Thank you and Dad for sharing! Always something new and exciting! I admire your approach to problems with simple, practical solutions, the sprit that built North America. Good luck forward and God Bless, prayers for Mrs Outsider.

I continue to say prayers for your wife, you and your family. You remain an inspiration to so many, myself included. Be well, and take good care from here in the Allegheny National Forest in Northwestern Pennsylvania.

Good Morning Outsider! Every time that I receive an email notification of a video (of yours) I get excited. Your filmography is excellent. The video is crystal clear and SHARP ! That combined with your voice and the content.... well it's simply exceptional, outstanding and professional. We hope that your wife and family have more good days. May the Good Lord continue to bless you and keep you safe in all of your endeavors. Warmest Regards from Arizona

Your Dad looks good, he looks younger without his face fur. Glad to see the two of you working together on this project. Your craftsmanship is amazing. Thanks for sharing these videos. Trusting that you and your family are well as the pandemic continues to grow. Wishing you Peace, health and happiness. Cheers from NE Ohio.

Now it's looking 100%better than before, outstanding Preacher, you're almost there. I can't wait till the finished product is done and you & the family have moved in!!! God bless you all .

Congrats on The Bombi it is a real deal snow trail grooming machine. I drove two of them at The World Series of Snowmobiling races in Boonville, New York 30+ years ago. They weren't fast maybe 20mph (32kph). They had a flat rear bed for a Ambulance Stretcher for injured racers and the other was a tow truck for broken sleds. I think they had Ford inline 4 cylinder about 57HP from a Cortina. About 1 ton [900kg) A real work horse. I know we always kept a box with a spare distributor cap, rotor, points, and plugs in the cab. We also kept a blanket in the cab as the heater wasn"t to good when it was below 0°F. The lights were awful, a LED upgrade is a must plus add rear facing LED's.. A winch is critical in the back woods for a stuck Bombi or down trees. I just saw a 1984 Bombi with a 1 litre Kubota diesel conversion for about $7,800 US in good running condition with a snowplow, winch & LED lights.

That’s an awesome snow cat. You’ll be able to groom some nice trails on your property next winter. I’d be adding some big LED light bars front and back and you’ll be able to use it at night as well. Thanks for another great video.

Glad to see the tarp saved the cabin from potential snow damage. Glad to see your Dad out and about.

Good addition to the work force... N apparently you will need it ... The boss doesn't put things out there just to look at! When they are presented... Get 'em!! He has a unique way of presenting items ... So... We have to be aware n take his " gifts" when offered!! Great " imagineering" on the roof pieces / parts! Good job👍😎! Thanks for sharing! GWW... ooouuuttt!!!

I remember 40 years ago when I thought I was invincible too. Be safe. Enjoyed the drone footage,beautiful surroundings.

The cabin is coming along nicely! You guys are doing an awesome job! Just a thought, why not remove the handle from that come along and replace it with two jam nuts thus allowing you to use a socket and drill to winch those rafters up into place! Might save dad's arms a bit! Take care!

I like that you are proving how useful a cable winch is, and how it makes the work safer.

Snow 🐈 Cat will be a work horse around the property. Cabin is taking shape 👍

I really enjoy watching your videos. I stumbled across them about a year or so ago. For some reason, I stopped watching them. Then, I was watching KZfaq the other day and a recommended video popped up. As I was watching, I thought “I know that voice, it’s very familiar and relaxing”....Then I twigged, it was you! I’m so glad I’ve found your channel again. I have a KZfaq account now so I can subscribe, which is what I have done. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I find it really relaxing, soothing to watch you and your dad build the cabin. You guys work at a perfect pace. I love the look of your new truck/snow monster! What a ripper! I’m looking forward to seeing the tin go on the roof. I get nervous for you when I see it’s raining and you’re on the rafters. I get the willies. The area you are in looks so beautiful! We don’t get snow where I live (Melbourne, Australia) and it’s a real pleasure to see so much of it. Thanks again for sharing, I appreciate it and thoroughly enjoy your videos. Stay safe.😊

Glad to see you back at it, new tools are always good. My thoughts are on how your lovely wife is doing, hope & pray that she is well. I am glad you have each other, take care my friend.

Hard work in beautiful weather. Its said many time in the comments, and i follow its advice to you. Giving an example as a youtube star to the young followers is important, wearing safety gear or a rope is important up there or telling this to your young followers. Thank you best regards and bless your hard work.

I have watched your videos for well over a year maybe two. I am always amazed at how much you and your Dad get done in a small amount of time.

I really appreciate your efforts and the results to date. Thank you for sharing your journey. I feel like we are kindred spirits, and I would love to see your place when it's all finished, as I hope to do the same thing in the very near future. Be safe on the roof... falling off is only fun the first time.

Great episode! The snowcat will be a real help next winter and in the mud. I had no idea their footprint was so light, that is amazing. Very nice video work peeping the roof and putting it back. The only thing my wife kept saying was “where is his safety harness?” Having climbed a fair amount in my younger years, I know how they can get in the way. Now, being older and wiser all I can tell you is, be safe our friend your wife and family need you. Our prayers are with your wife and the rest of your family. God Bless.

I love those snowcats. They are great fun to drive in the snow. Just remember to store it with the tracks up on wood planks and not on the dirt. It slows the dry rot of the rubber tracks.

Need to remember to put in some good locks on the bombi as everyone will see it as a great hunting accessory and it will never be around when you need it for scouting and hauling.

22:15 that thunder and the sound of the rain hitting the trees is so beautiful.

i hope your wife is feeling better with noticeable wellness

I am sooo envious of you dragging that snowcat home. There is nothing like the feeling you get and how your mind races when you drag something like that home. It’s well worth the price even if it just sits there until you end up selling it. Bin there.

Neat work with that first rafter and working around the nail. I love the tracked vehicle!

Already saw this I think these videos are showing what really happened by mistakes. Which really teaches

All I can keep saying is Awesome, Incredible. You bring such happiness to me. Many, many blessings to your beautiful family. Your wife is in my prayers.

Thank you for the update on the build. Look forward to each and every installment. Nice to see Dad out there with you. Your new equipment will be a great asset this winter season. Good job Outsider!

Been watching the cabin build for years now - just realised you're left handed!

I drove a Bombi snowcat for many years in the ski industry. Lets just say I was very happy when we got rid of it. There are such better machines out there. Hope you have fun with it.

Having been in a tank Regiment this is just my kind of kit.

Watching you construct the cabin I thought of an idea for future revenue generation - down the road a bit. (You may already have thought of it.) A log cabin building day camp for people who want to experience hands on. They would pay, of course. If you have a piece of suitable property have each cabin build (smaller ones) become rentable rooms - wilderness campground. Basically, you’d be paid for people to help build the cabins and be paid for the rental of the cabins later. All the best.

It was great watching that Bombi. I ran one of them near Fort Nelson, BC for a while. It's amazing where they can take you summer & winter. Enjoy!

God bless. Hope your wife is doing well. She is in our prayers.

“The Bomb”...a great name for a machine with great potential! Can’t wait to see it with a new coat of paint! Now for the cabin. I believe that if we’re possible to hammer a nail with that chainsaw, you would do so. It is wonderful watching the progression of your work, from the foundation to your present situation. The portable mill has been a great tool, maybe as important as the chainsaw. I like the fact that the cabin has been made with dead poplar, farming them and allowing the young trees to reach for the sky. The precision that you and Senior have applied will insure the cabin’s survival for a hundred years or more. I’d love to hear the stories told by great-grandchildren (or great-great...) as they sit by the wood stove, stories that tell of Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa’s life in the wilderness. As much as I enjoy these videos, I and most of your subscribers will be quite sad when the cabin is complete. Can you share with us possible plans for future ideas? Your skills as a cinematographer have made each and every episode a pleasure to watch. Thanks to you and Senior Outsider for the talent applied to the construction of this cabin. And as usual, I can’t wait for the next episode. My thoughts and prayers go to the entire Outsider family, Mrs Outsider in particular.

Awesome and we are extremely excited and proud of you Thumbs Up My Friends

Wow what a buy, hopefully it will do as it is meant to do for you, glad to see you making it through this time of sickness, stay in the woods, its safer than in the towns or cities.

The rafters falling as he unscrewed them was satisfying

Yet another great video! My thoughts and prayers go out today for you, your wife, and your Dad!! God Bless !!!!.......

You got out of the nail situation pretty well, I’d probably have kept driving it down with a round bar, but then I quite like bfmi solutions !

Great job son & dad..... Rain and slick timbers to stand on while working up high, gets your attention! I've been there, that's the broken hip or worse height you're working on, I can't wait 'till you sheet it and cover it with your metal.

Makes perfect sence to me after watching your videos and seeing the terrain you go over.

Hey Outsider, its your father in law. Enjoyed spending time with you and the family today. Can't wait to try out the Bombi this winter!

A temporary second floor could have easily been put up as no one is wearing any safety harness ... I've seen too many people getting injured for life doing crazy thing like this..

Have watched your blog from the beginning and have been pleases to see your readership continue to rise. Purchased your flashlights (three of them) your camera set up has improved and it is great to see you work with your Dad. I am so sorry to hear your wife is out of remission. My wife and I send prayers for improvements to her health. Love the change of pace videos of your portable shed and testing of various heating devices. Good videos and thank you very much for the various camera placements. Again, I patsy for improvements in your wife’s health and safe working on your cabin. Trev

Your Dad and you working together that's great, thats a good memory in years to come. My Dad and I worked together in the 70s I look back on that😀. Your cabin is come along will. I like your Bear Cat it's cool. Maybe you need a dog. I wish you and your family well and prays to your wife I hope she's doing well.

How is your Wife doing, I hope she is well and in fine spirits God bless you all.

I had a Bombi in the 80’s....the steering clutches were the first to give trouble. Keep the tracks the correct tension, and avoid sidehills..throwing a track on a sidehill is not fun to get back on! cheers!

Great memories. A mysterious life for a city guy like me but a life often dreamed about. I get to see someone live it. May God keep you and your family safe and close this Christmas season.

Great video. Your dad is working off his winter stores. 😁 Looking fit and healthy. Hope your wife is doing well as can be. Stay safe, use a harness up there on yourself. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.

Making progress great to see. Hope your family is doing well, especially your wife.

Hello outsider greetings from Syria i watch every new episode and it really helps me through I really love building in nature and I wish o be there building the cabin with you but as there is no way for me to be there with you I'll just enjoy watching keep doing what you do best you are truly an inspiration

Greeat job young man. Im your fatherss age and I misss the days I was doing what ur doin. And could squirrel around on a project like that. Now Im just worn out n weak. Old sucks. I dreamed for years in the Alaskan bush for a Bombie like that. You have my reespect and envy. Stay Strong and live Free. Dan

Love the new toy. What a beast! Nice work on that rafter joint. Just the thought of hitting that nail with the chainsaw gave me the willies. 👍

Looking forward to seeing the Snowcat Bombi come winter season. We Canadians invented the snow mobile and we have Bombardier to thanks for that.

Add 2 hooks to a ladder to put over the ridge pole to be able to climb on!

That cabin will last generations. Document it for your future relatives!

Your skills as a builder are perhaps matched by your skills as a cinematographer.

Im so jealous of that tank

Really enjoyed hearing the deep breathing while ontop of the rafters. Working at height without a fall arrest harness tends to do that do you ! You could pick one up for $150 and it will speed up your work rate while aloft. Meanwhile ill continue to be super impressed with your cabin.

A new snow cat, a improvement on the cabin, come winter it will be soo great;..and the coming videos? Super!

Cabin coming along nicely !! Cant wait to see the cabin you build to haul behind the Bombi for the upcoming snow camping season!! Definitely gonna have to build a wider tow behind cabin now that u have a bigger more suitable tow vehicle! Endless possibilities!! Stay safe my friend !

Awesome that's going to help in the winter, Cabin looking great, still praying for your wife my friend y'all take care stay safe god bless

I always like watching these videos on Saturday morning as soon as theyre posted

Great video. The ability to improvise is an gift, you have a good eye. I also love that you're using the humble Poulan chainsaw, the every man saw.

I love your old purchases, stuff made tough out of steel , i got the same pioneer chainsaw as you too .

Quick tip when trying to remove a tarp from something with sharp edges and don’t want to ruin it then tie a piece of rope to the edge then throw the rope over the top of the tarp and pull that way the tarp rolls over itself and doesn’t have a chance to snag anything and so you don’t have to get up high to remove it. A simple way to put a tarp up on something like that is to use a piece of pvc pipe and zip tie or just attach it to the leading edge of the tarp so that it actually lifts the leading edge up a inch or two to prevent snags and/or helps slide across rough surfaces and it pulls the tarp evenly from edge to edge even if pulling the tarp from a single point. I’m sure there are some better options or ways or opinions of others and if you do know a better easier and/or cheaper way then please reply below so others can see. Thanks and have a great day

GOD Bless You All Always Amen. Good job and a good you.

Ah yes, the Bombi! Had one for years, the 4 cylinder ford engine was very good....I didn’t like going downhill forwards, tho. I did do a complete front roll, going over an erosion control berm on a downhill section of a pipeline right of way.....threw a track on a sidehill( because the track was a bit loose), and the steering clutches started to give me trouble. But it sure did climb, and do very well in deep snow!

All ways, all ways, wonders full to see *YOU* both so good at the things *YOU* do. Blessings for the rain too :) See *YOU* next time!

certainly proves out as to how straight a nail has been driven; unlike the proof in the pudding ;the precise proof was in the driving!

Your going to love the machine. The bombi with the aluminum grousers are really good in the snow, just be careful in sand, mud and hard rocky areas. The grousers are getting harder to find. Enjoy the machine.

Man, I wish you would tie off when you are working high up. Your family - more than most - needs the man of the house in one piece. If you were single - I would say 'go for it'. But you are not single. Also, you worked with kids through your church. Is this the safety example of working that you want to set for them - that it is okay to work high up without a safety harness? Anyway - LOVE the tank and I sincerely hope your wife is feeling better. Peace.

wow almost did not recognize senior without the whiskers. good progress. love the tank.

Such fine work!!!!Very meticulous with always awsome results..... :)

Very cool build/video. Great job sir!

Thank you for sharing your journey, God bless

I so look forward to your videos! You have so much God given talent!

The look on the front end has the expression of determination. This is a very cool little machine.

It will be fun to see that "tank" work in the snow. Nice!

Another great episode. Thanks for sharing your lives!

If it were only all so simple then! And if not, definitely extraordinary! Godspeed!

What a great little machine the snow cat is, it's going to be such a help in winter, please tell me it has a heater haha. Seeya Rob..............I hope you, your wife, your daughter and father are all well, please take care stay safe.

This channel is an example of the best kind of individualism. Now they have a tank. Never disappoints.

Good show today folks. Congratulations on your new addition to the tools. Should help you out more in the winter. Take care my friend and stay healthy. Vaughn

Looking good and I can't wait to see the cabin with a roof. Also please be careful on the roof. Might I suggest a safety harness. Looking forward to the next video.

Oh! My vertigo!! Your agility up on those rafters is mind blowing!

Glad you didn’t loose your coat. Another great video. Be careful climbing so high. You worry me brother as you climb so high and by yourself. I saw some videos that you did get fall protection. Great idea. God bless.

Nice snowcat . Those are winter tracks for snow. It's hard on those cleats to run on dirt and rocks etc. You can now make a 2 sleeper tow behind cabin. We have a BR100 which is one step up from that Bombi. Bigger motor and auto transmission We groom snowmobile trails. They can pull good amount of weight so no problem with a bigger winter camping rig Thanks for the video.

Nice snow cat and nice vid wish we were able to see them more often looking good

Awesome vehicle, I'm sure you will get a lot of use out of that beast. Cabin is really shaping up. Al

dude get some fall protection, one slip and that tank could be your wheel chair for life.

I could watch these videos all day. My biggest dream in life is to have a piece of land like this to build stuff and live off the land in peace and quiet

Good job on the way you dealt with the nail, the snowcat is an awesome vehicle glad you got one. l was wondering about your wife l pray she will be okay.

The Sno-cat will be a winter game changer for you. At least compared to the Jag. While you work on it during the summer getting it ready for the snow you should seriously consider adding a winch. Perhaps one that can mount on the front or rear because if you get into a situation where you do get it stuck you’ll probably have to wait till spring to get it out. It won’t be long before the cabin will have its forever roof.
