Erik that little mill works pretty good & your new winch system works great :) If you cold park a little closer you might be able to use your log wagon polls to roll the log right onto the mill right from the wagon :)

Wonderful craftsmanship ! Turned out perfect & love the demo 😉

You might have to truss your winch beam if it bends before your standard hole fails. Very cool project.

What is the name of the hand crank winch tool mounted on the vertical pole that you used at the beginning of the video? I am looking for a tool like that for lifting the back of my snowmobile out of the slush when ai get stuck.

Grampha

Hello 😅

ha ha , get a real job 😂😂😂

I find that he's wearing a Stihl jacket ironic.

What a great video and trip loved watching awesome Erik and a very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Second cut doesn't even look close to parallel....

Hmow about termites? Are they in your area? Ever treat the wood with borate? Any rats under the floor boards? Last, what type of tree did you use? Conifer, fir, cedar, etc. After one year, looks great.

😂😂😂😂😂

I thought you could not mount those racks onto carbon fibre front forks , looks like you have carbon forks , was everything ok ?

Thanks for taking the time and posting this video

Those are some wacked forks....and zero mounts, what a shame...

Your ramp and hoist solution is quite clever. I noticed you dropped the logs on the ground before hoisting them. If you parked the trailer closer to the mill, your trailer ramps would rest next to the mill rampa. 😅The logs would roll down into the V created by the ovelapping ramps. You would not need to hoist as high when loading the mill.

Worked with my Grampa 60 years ago cutting and snaking logs from bulldozed trees. Skidded them to a clearing, and using chains to load on a wagon. Then pull the wagon to the sawmill a couple miles away. Never used a ramp, but then I was driving a tractor and Grampa had a team of mules. We had the power to roll 3 or 4 logs up with that chain at a time, depending on their size. Horsepower does make a difference. Learned a lot about common-sense that summer.

Love these no frills videos, Erik! What's that manual winch with the spike I've seen you use?

Great Video. I appreciate that you showed your mistakes and successes. I learned a lot from this video. Keep up the good work!

I've spent so much time thinking of ways to stack logs without the use of horses or machinery, that I'm glad to have found this video. I could tell what was gonna happen for every scenario, including what would work or not, but it was seriously refreshing seeing you try them all, unashamedly. Well done for showing the mistakes man. This'll help others a lot :) I hope you've perfected your technique/s since this video was made :)

Screw doing that on a bike in croc country, lucky it was the dry season!

Fascinating video. Thanks for publishing your adventure. I think all the 4-wheel-drive tourists would have driven me crazy. What a mess some of those river crossings were! It looks like your trusty fat bike handled the journey admirably. Just the right bike for such a trip. Pedalling in sandals was so practical for the multiple times you were in and out of water. Could you please let us know about your bike setup? Thanks in advance.

Just wondering why you don't load the mill directly from the trailer ?

you have the hydraulic lift on the back of the tractor and the pto use the machine to do the lifting by creating something that lifts the legs via several pullies that the hydraulics can those legs you made off the side.

Just fantastic stuff Great help and a super video

Hi Erik. Thanks for posting! Is it possible to do this in a day?

love this ❤

Very inspirational video great work 👏

Great one mate. Awesome e effort.

Would you be willing to share how the siding was attached (screw locations and angle, etc) and how thick you cut them?

Still my favorite design of a bike camper. If I will ever do one myself it will be a copy of this. I would fasten the tarp along the edge above the door and roll it up secured with velcro when not in use. On top I would mount a flexible solar panel and in a compartment in a false bottom I would but Li-Ion batteries. The batteries would partially be for running my ebike and partially for lightning and stuff. The kitchen would be a simple gas camping stove. The outer walls and ceiling would be made of thins sheets of EPS with paper glued on each side with diluted PVA glue. One or both side would be reinforced with really thin "masonite" and then coated with water repellant paint. This would give stiffness, insulation and low weight.

WoooooW den blev flot 👏👏🙂🙂

Whars rhe name of your bike. Looks sturdy

Love the wooden ramps accessory for winching; have tried similar winching up with my M8, but without the wood ramps added, but also shorter WWM mode. I see what I now need to do... as I age, always looking for an EASIER way :-)

Great video. So your out and about at 69? I'm 71 gearing up to do rail trails. Bit tamer. I have to be nearby for my parents 97&98. Still at home.

Thanks mate, nice work. Cheers.

Awesome video Great work !

Hi grandpa

grandpa

That is so cute

You have Soon 9000 SUB

Great tips thanks

Nice solid little trailer, did you build it?

Very clever

What oil do you use and does it mix with the water to cool?

Thank youuu

Class!

Nice one

Yeah..me too good one.
