  1. The parallel to World War II Germany's last months of Götterdämmerung and Hitler's final days is uncanny.

  2. Yeah, you need a warming pad, and grow lights. Stuff may or may not sprout as is. Start outdoor plant seeds about 6 weeks before outdoor planting. Plant seeds of cold tolerant crops when soil warm enough to work. Radishes, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, they'll know when to sprout.

  3. I'd spend some good money on a 10 cubic foot two-wheeled wheelbarrow which you could bring a lot of stuff in on and can be pushed or pulled over rough spots on the trail over debris (as opposed to a single-wheeled wheelbarrow), then you can use it to haul your logs and various debris. You're a young man but use those powerful leg muscles to lift heavy things while keeping your back straight. A thicker mil tarp is good for raking away debris. Just rake it onto the tarp, fold it over like a pierogi, and haul it off to your dump. I always thought if I had a cabin dog or hunting dog that I would train it pavlovian style to get a treat when it hears a police whistle and returns. It's not unusual for a dog to run off and tree some critter way beyond your sight and hearing but a dog probably can hear a police whistle up to a mile. Skeeter's still young enough to be trained to one.

  9. You are indomitable. Try a portable winch puller to ratchet a sled up a hill next time. You can go up a steep hill easier on a slanted route (longer) rather than dead on. I offered to send you a beautiful handy Bahco 30" bow saw back when, but you didn't reply. You need a CO detector for Christmas.

  10. You got a ZSU-23-4?! Naw, c'mon, really?! Excellent!!

  11. Strawberries, once they get established, willl send out long aggressive runners and within a few years will entirely engulf that garden plot as you laid it out. Once strawberry plants have runnered and spread themselves they will form a thick layer of root crowns that will be very hard to eradicate. So they should be given their own bed away from the vegetable garden and perhaps put down a weed preventing fabric or plastic material covering the planting row. Only THEN, with only small holes in the fabric, plant in holes you've made at recommended spacing. This way one can prune off the aggressive runners allowing bushy hills of bearing strawberry plants nicely contained and weed free.

  12. I was hopin' you'd have some plans for solar panels, batteries, small fridge/freezer. Not roof top. Stand-alone, easy to brush snow off, movable base to manually reorient to sun 2-4 times a day. CO alarm. Tarp and buckets to catch rain water. Twinkies and beer. Good luck on the job, man.

  17. What you need is a non-electric gravity fed wood stove-top water distiller. Purchase online. Of course you can easily make a larger one for outdoor use by having a smith cut a hole in a 55 gallon drum making a wood stove out of it, then placing your larger distiller on top of it outside. Pure contaminant-free clean water, from any source. Kyle (3 am alarm goes off): "Time ... to ... make ... the water."

  18. There are two types of volcanoes: the dangerous explosive type and the not so dangerous effusive non-explosive type. Guess which one this was! Arrogant unrealistic over-optimism and crass consumerism. (Let's subtract knowledge and judgment from this equation though).

  19. It looked bad when you showed it recently as a place to store firewood. I was worried for you. Kyle's journal entry today which reads: "Ah, ye-yeah! Ah, >ahem<, heh-heh-heh, I like ... knocked over the shed, >ahem<, yeah, cool, heh-heh-heh."

  20. Couldn't see a thing

  21. I previously mentioned those aluminum adjustable brackets (Lowe's, Amazon) to hold your 100 watt solar panels. So then, adjusting the sun declination is easy. I guess you could build a wooden rack to say hold two of those solar panels and brackets. Mount that on some sort of bottom nice and solid. Then put a four inch diameter pole solidly in the ground (perhaps cement it) and then come up with a swivel mechanism for the top of the post. That swivel then attaches to your twin solar panel bracket construction above. So then you can swivel to the direction of the sun, a couple of times during the day.

  25. Quick thinking and crafty work, I don't know how you do it! But I feel much safer for you now. A bear-trashed cabin is horrific. I was watching a commercial or two the other day and a trailer for Harrison Ford's (money-losing) movie, "The Call of the Wild," came on -- him and his dog wherever, and I said to myself I hope Kyle never ever ever plays syrupy music like that on his channel! 😦😄

Big Dipper almost overhead 4am, front dipper stars point to Polaris, (the North Star), like on your wall flag.

  31. You are in construction and work with wood. Why don't you cut a pair of bear footprints made out of wood, or an owl or a goose flying. Maybe have Cierra hand paint it or stain it and you put that up at the apex. How about a representation of a wolf?

  32. Man watch out for that approaching 8-12" snowstorm arrowhead, Minnesota

  33. I'd like viewers to note winter "Ray-o-vision." During the leafy growing seasons -- summer and fall -- the woods are overgrown and vision is limited by the growth and shady camouflage of greens, yellows, and browns and dark bark, all mixed together. The eye has a hard time contrasting and discriminating. However during winter when weeds, grasses, brush, and understory have died off and tree leaves are down and snow has fallen, this allows penetrating vision deep into the woods revealing the topography. Often, unseen features and great vistas are revealed. "Ray-o-vision."

  34. Take a medium-sized tarp say 10 by 12, string it up with paracord from four smaller trees. Make a valley at one end of the tarp so that all the water that hits the tarp runs down into it and into your storage container -- large bucket, garbage can or whatever.
    3
  35. You'd have to do some possibly limited trail clearing, but they have extra large shopping, groceries storage carts that could hold a bunch of cargo and be pulled behind you. You might have to help it over logs, but that's why you clear the trail. This way you could more easily bring stuff back and forth to the cabin without humping it on your back. You'd want to pick the model with the biggest and most robust wheels
    3
  36. Take down the trees as needed. Understory regrowth will be vigorous so no existential guilt. Look at the big picture, i.e., your low carbon footprint with solar. Besides you'll use the wood in fireplace. Transplant the conifers in October. If you have chicken wire left over, form 4 foot diameter compost pile bins (cut and wire ends together). I'd buy a bunch of those water proof solar camping lamps, charge them in the sun daily, hang them on posts around cabin. No mullet, please! Just have Cierra cut it, save $15-20 per.

  39. A "tool belt" to go to the outhouse at night. Bright headlamp on yer head. Maybe like a 10oz can a bear spray in one, and your hammer in the other holster. Noisemakers: police whistle, air horn, firecrackers Maybe build a "bear fort" around the outhouse. Dozens and dozens of sharp-pointed poles placed in the ground slanted outward. The bear comes sniffing along and gets poked right in the eye with one of these things and says, "I'm getting out of here!" And maybe a specially constructed outhouse where your outhouse (which has no door) can be rotated using the feet to maintain 360° reconnaissance view of your surroundings while you're doing your thing ... or maybe just your regular outhouse but with a built-in periscope to maintain vigilance while you're tootin' away ....

  40. Do you cut birch for firewood and use the bark as kindling? Maybe I asked that already, I dunno. Five cords?! Holy ....!

  41. Potatoes with growing eyes can be cut into pieces before planting as long as there is one eye per piece of potato. After cutting the potato up into pieces, let it dry for say 48 hours before planting them. You can still fertilize your newly growing plants with soluble fertilizer from a watering can, or you can work some 10-10-10 granular fertilizer into the top layer of soil around plants after you get sprout. Get those compost piles going (mentioned previously) now tho.
    3
  42. Now. As long as the chicken manure is matured (well rotted). Do not add fresh manure to a garden. You can wait for the other amendments, but I'd put 2-4 bags of compost/manure in each bed, preferable over garden soil, but I see that is needed too. You'll need to get multiple compost piles going. I make mine of 36" tall quarter inch hardware cloth wired into 4 foot across cylinders. Take some soil in your hand, if it balls up and holds instead of easy crumble you'll need some sand, if you've got clay. You can add peat moss as organic for clay soil and what's called clay breaker or inorganic gypsum. Rake up sawdust (carbon) to add to your chicken manure (nitrogen) piles, only. Buy a $10 pH meter downtada hardware store as you're likely acid, fireplace ash would offset acidity. pH important for ionic availability to plants. Chickens eat ticks too. Some shade at your two farthest beds. So add matured manure, soil, compost or other amendments, THEN retill, work it in. Nothing wrong with a good sprinkle of (shh!) 10-10-10 or 14-14-14 fertilizer. Deer will be an existential threat to your garden as are woodchucks, ravenous. A heavy steel tool called a mattock essential to chop out roots or stumps, jimmy out rocks.

  44. Ray loves your series, but he was hoping for permanent cast concrete piers, embedded steel post (wood foundation) connectors to resist uplift, metal joist hangers for lasting strength, and a layer of 1/4" hardware cloth stapled across joists (beneath subfloor) to deter gnawing creatures. Perhaps you can still utilize the latter idea when you build your smaller out buildings. I understand there's an intersection between structural permanence/performance and upfront cost.

  55. This is a great idea! They use a very similar two-wheeler wire "grocery cart" in downtown center City Philly when people have to walk 10 blocks to the ACME to do food shopping. They put several bags in there and pull the thing home. I understand that some crafty seniors use them when they live in a apartment complex -- they park their car, put their grocery bags in the two-wheeler from the trunk and haul it back to their pad. I always thought that infantry squads should do the same thing, with some pretty large wheels and carry medical equipment and extra ammo with them, rather than humping it.
    2
  56. Not only that but firewood whether in log rounds or split like Kyle's, should never be in contact with the ground! That leads to exposure to water, moisture, rot and insects! It would be better off by cutting down two small to medium-sized trees and put them on cross blocks in parallel and then stack wood on top of that, with zero contact with ground. Even the two parallel tree supports ideally should be placed on concrete blocks, or hunks of rock, rather than on sawn wooden cross blocks.

  57. I'm the one that mentioned here to make a stove out of large barrel. Put a water distiller unit on top, harvest pure contaminant-free water. I wonder how much and how long a 2 gallon pot/pail (and top) filled with simmering hot water would heat the chicken coup nightly. I'd order a 'kindling cracker' and 3lb sledgehammer (fingers are good) to make kindling safely. Whatcha buildin' another cabin fer?
    2
  58. Clean water and plenty of it: Fill your large utility plastic bucket or tub with clean snow and bring it in and you will put it in a medium-sized (40-qt) stainless steel stock pot (pricey) with drainage faucet and handle. Your medium-size stock pot is on a corner of your hot stove. You will fill the pot up and let it boil for 10 minutes. You will attach an inexpensive stainless steel braided hose from the stock pot faucet to your larger sealed/covered stainless steel or aluminum storage tank a few feet away from your stove. Your sterilized water will flow by gravity. Ideally, place a simple filter in line before the storage tank. Boom. Meanwhile, refill the stockpot with snow. Plenty of clean sterilized filtered water. You could just open a USPS PO box so nutbags like me could send you, private-like, good crap. But OK. You wanna do all the crap yourself, I get it. You could even put a splitter on your braided hose with a valve and run a line through your log wall out to your 2x2x4 ft aluminum feed trough where you take hot baths. I like it. Diabolical.

  60. The simplest, easiest and cleanest way to gather good potable water is: String up a 10x10' tarp at four corners and suspend from 4 trees with Paracord. Make a dip in the tarp midway on one side. Collect rain water into a 5 gallon bucket, with EZ fine bucket strainer insert. Consider filtering with Berkey filter. Clean off the tarp after rain, dry on clothesline.

  61. And let's see some upgrade of the solar panels, please, with an elevated rack/stand with rotating swivel, to manually track the sun, and adjust for intra-day and seasonal solar declination. Instead of new cabins.

  63. Great idea. One of my favorite tools to use on a trail to pry and remove annoying rocks or smaller roots or trunks is a steel tool called a "mattock," which has a miner's spike at one end and a broad flat blade on the other end.
    2
  64. Do not collect roof water: heavy metals from roofing, acid rain, toxic pollen, bird droppings, algae, critters, gutters that are ALWAYS dirty with hideous goo, always need ladder cleaning and flushing. Use my tarp method, cleanse tarps easily. You gathered so much lake water -- you can easily build or preferably buy a water distiller either a countertop electrical one or an outdoor fire pit setup. And I would spend real money on a quality well if that's what you're going to do, not some half-assed mud pit!

  77. Okay, you know your forest. It just seems like, from your video, that there was a substantial number of mature birch trees, some very close together that could stand culling. Hardwood: less creosote clean up on your chimney. I do a lot of firewood splitting, on large downed black and white oak log rounds, so big I have to use a log peavey and log hook to move them.

  82. Plenty of time to build a ("Ray's") bear fort around the cabin. A thicket of hundreds and hundreds of hand-sharpened sticks stuck in the ground placed around the cabin.

  84. Great video! What was the generator for, a pressure washer? Looks good. Very attractive trim. My only concern would be I would have strongly considered stout shutters to keep wild animals out while you are gone. Cool seeing Skeeter sniffing the air like that. Dogs have such fantastically sensitive olfactory systems compared to us. Some say that the wild wolf-dog, perhaps thirty thousand years ago or more, domesticated us humans! Come springtime you could easily attach some 1/4in hardware cloth around the bottom edge of your cabin to keep mice and gnawing critters out. Some people attach a layer of it underneath the cabin to prevent that. That synthetic chinking you have planned will make for quite an interesting video(s).

  91. I've wanted to write a book called, "Teddy Bear, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus Work." Because they made me feel better. The ritual, the emotion, the togetherness of make believe (for scared little children) are ... GOOD ... for you! Mommy said so! This man fails to mention how the severe arrogant hubris of Abrahamic religion (Judaism, Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Mormonism) fought against the inquiry and curiosity and discoveries of early scientists (sanctioned, imprisoned, tortured and even murdered them!) and delayed technological development of the world for a millennium!! He fails to mention how, today, the most secular countries who employ advanced (irreligious) social and economic concepts far outperform the most religious countries on the UN Human Development Index. No, in a postmodern world, science and technology (applied science) offer the most benefit to the most people. It's a travesty against mankind that anti-science conservative belief in Abrahamic religion would cause selfish solipsistic religionists to refuse covid-19 vaccine and thereby endanger millions of small children and other human beings! It's abhorrent to believe in a creed that relies on a little costumed man behind a curtain to "forgive" sin, or to pray to a celestial dictator in the sky, rather than taking action, or to make restitution to the aggrieved! It's sad that small little children are subject to such gaslighting by adults to believe their very fiber, their very existence, is stained with some sort of onerous (heritable!!) sin, then forced to live a life in thrall, cowered by threat and fear. It's elder abuse to scam the elderly (some sick and frail) by promising them an eternal afterlife of which there is zero evidence! Sure it's nice to make believe, like Abrahamic religionists did in the childhood of Man. Many still do, live in a little bubble and feel better. The make-believe world of Mr. Rogers(!). lol Truth is hard.

Biden also claimed he "graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school." "I’d be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours if you’d like, Frank," he said. Biden graduated from Syracuse University’s law school in 1968, but not in the top half of his class. He also did not receive three undergraduate degrees.

  97. You need a better constructed pressure treated wood base under that big barrel, and a better barrel, maybe a bit higher for better outlet pressure. The downspout needs a clean out port, upstream. The rain water should be prefiltered before the barrel. You can also buy cheap insertable gutter guards to stop leaves, needles and other debris outta your collection gutter. The wire ones better. Both the gutter and collection barrel should be cleaned regularly. You need some chemical water disinfectant in water storage barrels. You need to Berkey filter this water, but I don't think you're drinking it. I told you how to build and set up an outdoor wood-fired water distiller, for drinking water. You drink bottled, no?

  103. Buy a $10 (Lowe's) "flex-a-spout" plastic attachment to your gutter downspout, extend it, and simply swing the other end of it to the opening of each barrel which you positioned close underneath the downspout. Fill one barrel, come back and with a half ounce of energy, redirect the flexi-a-spout into the next barrel. Easy, boom. Use a funnel on your barrel tops. Amazon sells large $1.97 funnels with a filter screen. NEVER use a barrel that was used for anything other than something consumable. Each barrel should have been disinfected with a chlorine bleach solution. You can look up using chlorine tablets, unscented bleach or water preserver concentrate to keep the water in the barrels fresh. You'll have to figure out how to get water out of your 55 gallon drums as each will be too heavy to tip over. I guess that means either a hand pump or electric pump, a spigot or siphon.

Both sexual predators -- one unqualified by inexperience and poor legislative and campaign performance; the other one unqualified by the failed foreign policy, feckless economic policy, and vindictive counter-racism of the Biden-Obama years, and early senility. Most sadly of all -- the hypocritical Democratic Party once again, uses a person of color for electioneering. Biden picked the least bad of a bunch of bad candidates, none qualified to become President of the United States.

  126. OK, Ray did a little snooping. I couldn't find anything other than the tilt angle adjustable brackets for sun declination. I mean something that could be used to make a swivel base underneath your solar power panel rack. So then you can easily rotate your rack towards the movement of the sun across the sky! I'm pretty sure you could use a "bar stool swivel" that will allow you to mount on to a solid bottom plate (6" x 6" x1" pressure treated wood) that you have mounted on, say, a 4 ft tall post. Then attach the upper plate of the metal barstool swivel to the bottom of your solar panel rack. Boom.

  129. Oh. Unless you're talking collecting water for garden watering. I'd be OK with that. If you've got some extra cash you can buy strainer inserts for 55 gal drum barrels. Or, buy commercial "rain barrels" for which you get barrel top screens to catch leaves and crap. Usually used with a "rain barrel diverter." You buy the rain barrel with pre-installed spigots (the barrel is installed higher up, say on some blocks, so that you can easily place a watering can underneath the spigot!)

  130.  @ACO-Amy  Actually he said the difference between on-grid and off-grid was "a wash," meaning fairly equal. One has to look at the big picture and the future! Sure you can cut utility bills by employing four small solar panels but such a growing homestead will suffer from reliability and wattage capacity.

I don't know specifications for a larger vehicle -- SUV or truck. Vehicles won't charge sitting at idle, check your manual. Most will say reach a minimum RPM (ex. 1500 RPM for my Subaru) while driving to provide ample charge to the battery. Boom.

  140. Time for the global liberal- progressive "cult of victimhood" to step forward. After all, there is no personal responsibility, when all untoward happenstances and inequalities must be compensated by those more responsible and industrious, because it is "unfair" for them to have been less arrogant, less crass, less foolish, less wasteful. Perhaps the liberal-progressive attorneys of those injured or killed can also play the "race card" in some manner. Perhaps indigenous tribes of New Zealand can also sue because of offense to Rūaumoko, volcano god.

  151.  @KYLESCABIN  I suggested the Fiskars x27 36-in splitting axe two seasons ago. Btw, I'd split ALL pieces of wood, accelerates drying. I'm the one who suggested the "Kindling Cracker," that allows you to split small pieces of wood by striking downwards against the splitter with a 3 lb sledgehammer. Cierra could do. This way fingers and hands are never endangered by a super sharp blade. Some people will get a medium-sized old tire, fill the tire with upright unsplit wood and then using a splitting ax, systematically split all the pieces with no fly off(!) of split wood pieces. Place your wheelbarrow right next to the tire, put all the split pieces from the tire in the wheelbarrow saving strain on the back, and then haul off to your shed.

  155. Not to get techie but this cannot be called a tiny house or mini-home because unexpectedly, you built the house into the trailer base making it an RV or trailer or mobile home. Of course, tiny homes are built on to similar trailers and hauled to the site where a crane lifts them off the trailer to their permanent location. And now don't get angry (!), but was that an "egress window" that you installed (considering your stove or whatever is right at the cabin exit)?

  156. Oh ... I see you put in three windows, one big one ... Hmm ... OK ... you gonna put in a nice CO detector then? Yeah, you're a smart guy. Hey, before you finish up that indoor ceiling you can put some cross-beam supports on the corners at the wall and maybe put some cross supports in between the beams to add a little extra support strength to that roof.

I wish you would have put stronger roof cross bracing up near the top which would still save you a lot of room, or some sort of scissors truss to increase the load bearing of heavy snow and ice during the winter on that roof. You must be under some time deadline for rushing through rather than building structure more solid and permanent.

In your area you'll probably get a regular to above average winter, but could be a mild one, and the bears could be out early and hungry. I would carry 'bear spray' TOO. There are specific recommendations when hiking in bear country with a dog that could suddenly go after the bear cubs, separate them from the mother, and then disaster occurs.

  209. Great energy and innovation. You'll find out soon enough if critters mow everything down overnight. You may end up fencing in your garden using 7-8 foot green steel t-posts, and two 150' x 4 foot chicken wire rolls. You can make an enclosure for your chickens with the same stuff, but maybe 4 foot posts and a 4 foot tall fence. Skeeter leashed nearby, earning his keep. (Just hate to see such industry wasted) In your cool climate green onion, lettuce, carrots, radish, spinach, herbs, etc., grow wonderfully from seed. Stuff doesn't like to be transplanted. Potatoes easily planted. Use Stark Bros. for mail order cherry, peach, apple, plum trees, and berries for Fall planting. But where you are (!), you'd need bird netting for all that. 😫 Wish you guys were on Twitch where you can issue a wishlist! This way you get EXACTLY what you need, and no more, while maintaining privacy of address/location.

  210. Now get this Kyle! Build a medium to larger wood shed next to the house, but put solar panels on the roof!! Easy to remove snow from panels in winter. Brilliant, I know. But honestly ... spend the money and bring in electric. Zero ... zero headaches thereafter.
    1
  211. Yeah, takes those trees down. Your carbon footprint is going to be low. Building a swiveled adjustable angle support rack for the solar panels at about chest height would be ingenious! Higher than snow, easily cleaned off rather than up on roof where they're inaccessible. Come out twice daily to redirect panels to sun, adjust angle for winter's sun low declination days. Take down the trees.

  212. CNBC 4/21/20: "The CEO of real estate brokerage Redfin said Friday that demand for homes has shifted to rural areas as people react to the coronavirus pandemic and look to move out of dense urban areas.

"Rural demand is much stronger right now than urban demand, and that's a flip from where it's been for the longest time, where everybody wanted to live in the city." Ray: "Euthenics."

  215. More than 80% percent of the white-tailed deer sampled in different parts of Iowa between December 2020 and January 2021 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The percentage of SARS-CoV-2 positive deer increased throughout the study, with 33% of all deer testing positive. The findings suggest that white-tailed deer may be a reservoir for the virus to continually circulate and raise concerns of emergence of new strains that may prove a threat to wildlife and, possibly, to humans. (Penn State University, Nov 6, 2021). Personally I also worry about Lyme disease carrying ticks on white-tailed deer here in NJ.

  217. Really nice team! 1 hour after sunset, look due southwest and low and you'll see a bright star which is Jupiter. Slightly to its upper left is a dimmer star, which is Saturn. At the same time, if you look due southeast and very high is the planet Mars. The moon will be rising due east. I love rough housing with dogs. But if Skeeter should bite too hard, immediately let out a high-pitched, "Ipe!!," which is a signal to the dog that they use with each other that play was a little too rough, and the dog will immediately back off. I hope you liked my hot bath idea.

  227. You can plants carrot, radish, lettuce, spinach, spring onions -- cool weather crops -- seeds now. You can mail order garlic sets, rhubarb and horseradish root. I'm afraid you're going to have to build a 7-8ft "deer fence." You'll see! I'd place 24-48" galvanized chicken wire around the base to deter groundhogs, opossums, etc., that would love to gnaw through and mow down an entire garden overnight. You can make a great removable compost pile fencing by taking 36 inch tall one quarter inch hardware cloth, forming it into a 4-ft diameter cylinder by wiring the cut ends together. Alternate "browns" with "greens," sprinkle with some poultry-based blood meal, water well and turn over every two weeks. Speaking of water ... where is your water source? That might have been the most critical very first thing to do before building anything.

There is life before death, not after death. "Dead is dead." With some STEM schooling it's easy to discover meaning and purpose in the awe, complexity and beauty of Nature and the cosmos. Evolution, biological and cosmological, is god. It is our duty to make our own meaning find our own purpose, and write our own life narrative in a cold dangerous purposeless meaningless universe.

  230. Yes, indeedy! The firewood should have zero contact with wet earth that brings insects and decay and moisture. This is easily remedied by cutting two tree poles 8 or 10 or 12 ft long and set them in, parallel to each other about a foot apart, for your firewood stack base. Clear the debris out in between the logs for better air flow, then stack your wood on top of that. If you don't have a shed or an open roofed structure over your firewood then you can use strips of roofing material weighed down with some rocks or some logs on top, or you can cut up a tarp, but just cover the top of the wood stack, not the sides (air flow).

  238. I'd most definitively put the house in the clearing seen at 10:30, open, straight shot, highest ground. Cut down more trees on southern aspect because at your latitude the sun's declination remains low and this will provide the best sunlight for solar, a close-in garden (not far from the house!) allow easy vehicle access and a small cutting mill, side buildings, etc. Nothing deep in the woods, as you plan. With this site mentioned above, betcha you cut down far far fewer trees than putting all kinds of things -- a house, outhouse, chicken coop, shed, vehicle garage, etc., back in the woods.

  249. I built a fire in the fireplace last night and I used the 'Kyle method' of criss-crossing the wood kindling on the paper. Better aeration, fire lights better than piling it all in there. I suggest you season your newly cut logs criss-cross stacked. That way there's more space in between logs, for better air circulation and drying. Keeps down all the critters, and nesting birds and squirrels, etc. I switched to criss-crossing split firewood pieces in a stack, rather than parallel dense stack. With the traditional regular stack, you get tired of congregated ant nests, wood beetles, western cricket turds, bird nests, 3" wolf spiders, and crud you'll have to brush off to use the firewood. I see you regular stack split wood in your little cabin, protected.

  256. There is absolutely no cogent reason to send humans to Mars, or even to the Moon other than crass consumerism, arrogant egotism, or competitive politics, which are all bad reasons! Besides, the major developed countries of the world capable of launching spacecraft are so deep in debt they can't afford a child's plastic Gemini Atlas model rocket! All space exploration can be done by robotics. In our solar system there are no planets, planetoids or moons habitable within the Goldilocks zone. Dead ... is ... dead. The claim that we need a human lifeboat/space colony in case of a astronomical or other human-caused apocalyptic hit (supervolcano eruption, nuclear war, massive meteor strike, gamma ray burst, etc.) on the Earth is false because self-sustaining international survival stations can be built 2 miles deep in tunnels or at the bottom of the sea. There is reason to build a moon base (which can also be run by robotics) if it becomes feasible to mine helium-3 to be brought back to Earth to be combined with deuterium in a carbon-free radiation-free D--He-3 fusion nuclear reactor. Save Earth first.

  257. You'd have to put out the dough for it but the thing won't quit and does a TON of work. A Craftsman lawn vacuum. Or another like brand. Looks like a mower, has a vacuum/scoop thing in front, rotary chopping blade inside, big detachable collection bag in back. Make tons of chopped leaves (handles small twigs via chute) perfect for mulch, or better filling your new compost bins I told you about. Chopped leaves decompose much faster than whole leaves. Grass clippings and chicken manure for your nitrogen, chopped leaves for carbon. Add water Cierra rakes leaves, you vac & chop. Trust me.

  259. Tractor Supply makes a reasonably priced aluminum 2x2x4 ft aluminum stock tank. You'd have to boil quite a bit of water but a great and easy way to take a hot bath outside sans bathroom.

  262. "Ray-O-vision"! That's what I call the enhanced vision you get when there is snowfall across the landscape. Normally in summer one has difficulty seeing more than a few dozen yards into say a forest because the various yellow, greens, greys and browns blend together, so the eye cannot distinguish details. But with snowfall only the ground is coated, branches are bare, and you'll notice that you can see far far into a landscape, oftentimes for hundreds of yards noting topography unrevealing heretofore.

  263. Easy to build a roofed lean-to woodshed 30ft from the house. ALL your buildings should be close as possible. Check state regs for outhouse distancing. Where is your water well going to be if you are making a makeshift septic system such as this?? A successfully functioning well (and water tested) should have been sunk FIRST, before any structure, i.e., homestead, was built.

  265. When I lived in Texas there was a definite down deep antipathy by native Texans using language like "carpetbaggers," and "goofy northerners," the term "Yankees" laughingly used by a priest in Catholic church, and yes even, "y'all ruined it for us." How about: "My grandmammy would turn over in her grave if she found out I might have to move with my boss to Chicago." There is yet another undercurrent, such as, "My dad flipped when my brother started dating a Mex." I experienced latino-on-white discrimination on my job. Watch out for hate, discrimination, and the Texas gold 'ol boy network, outsiders! It lives in Texas. Superficially, VERY friendly, but beware how they REALLY feel.

  272. They make adjustable (angle to sun) aluminum mount brackets for 100W solar panels. With your ingenuity you could build a chest or waist high support structure in your yard, higher than snow line, easily cleaned, to put your panels on. You may need some basic tools to adjust bracket angles to match seasonal changes in sun declination. Wow.

  277. As a citizen in the "city" -- the public sphere -- behavior should be tolerant, inclusive and secular in keeping with the idea of safe equitable interaction amongst peoples in a world with 4300+(!) disparate and incongruous major and minor religions, sects, denominations and cults. Religion should otherwise be privatized.

  289. Rather than interplanetary colonies let's stay at home and build at least four 2 mi deep bore holes with ventilation holes, to build international catastrophe self-sufficient survival stations. Much wiser safer and cheaper than putting something on the moon, Mars or some other godforsaken place.

  290. Yeah, collar ties with gusset plates. Maybe king posts, struts and tie joists for frame rigidity with those heavy snows, without which could cause an entire building collapse.
