In this video I clean up a bunch of mud and muck that has been revealing itself with the heavy rain we have had recently. Man it's nice to be able to do it with the excavator! I also burned a bunch of stumps and use the chainsaw and excavator to clear more road access to the back of the property. I was also able to put a coat of Odie's Oil on the decorative shelf I recently built. Got to keep moving forward! Thank you for following our journey.

That delicate balance of clearing enough trees for access & a fire-break, yet not so many that your land slides into the lake. Oyasumi matrix, konichiwa life. Kudos Samurai
I'm loving the content.
Rather than burning all the logs, having you thought about bucking them into 4ft lengths and then stacking them between trees at various points over the plpt? It would be great for wildlife, would act as a windbreak for the plot and the added shelter could attract more deer as they use the wood walls to shelter from prevailing winds.
It may mean you have to move the logs less distance too.
Just an idea.
Thanks for the content.
Burning the stumps is also great for wildlife
I've been watching your channel for years I'm not much of a wood worker but I am a lover of true craftsmanship in whatever form that takes. Thank you for sharing your journey it is the humble authentic craftsmen & women of this earth that are truly worthy of being inspired by. I am looking forward to watch your journey unfold. Ps the forest will be loving your care and attention to.
Thanks for posting. I love the island project your showing us. A leaf blower or fan would do wonders for burning that stump.
It's like a 23 minute long infomercial for Odie's Oil, Maker's Mob, and how not to remove a large stump.
i think it would be very easy to want to keep every log in a pile to mill up oneday. i keep seeing the end grain of the trees you cut and they look nice. another good video jesse
2 videos in 3 days - epic!! Best wishes always Jesse
Tons of respect for working in those conditions. Meaning the rain and mud at the beginning.
Always feels like a waste when you burn everything
Just like you skippy
For burning logs have you tried a modified Canadian Candle or Swedish Fire Log? Cut a couple of slits across the top of the stump, light the fires and the coals fall into the middle of the stump, perpetuating the fire until there is nothing left to burn.
I've had lots of experience with water drainage and I used my mini excavator to make the roads with a crown so the water drains off to the side. Then give the water a place to drain out. I planned out the water drainage out of a 40 acre property that was in a low lying area. Your roads will stay in better shape after it rains, with no standing water.
i love your channel. from your skill, to your adorable family, to your SKILL-and now we get to join you on this super-interesting journey of making a home on the lake. you're going to make so many incredible memories with your family here! oh, and where can i get a pair of pants like that? 🔥
Those look like Sitka brand hunting pants
These excavator timelapses are crazy satisfying. Same with the slash pile burns. So good.
Clean up is coming along nicely. Good job.
Probably been mentioned already but a leaf blower works really well for supercharging a brush/stump fire.
Roof Rack for your boat modification. Removable Rack at bow using roof of wheelhouse for timbers etc.. Always enjoy your videos.
What about getting a wood chipper? You got plenty of wood, and wood chips will definitely be more pleasant to walk on and drain better.
good on ya pal. I'd love to see a drone shot from above to establish your building lot and overall situation. You don't need to go into details and plans but that would be a bonus.
Watching stumps burn way better than paint drying.Two thumbs up! Maybe I buy your sale, I can see woodwork again.
I want to see a Samurai built treestand!
you can burn out big stumps like that easier with a big long 3/4" auger bit as long as you can find one (18" or longer)- drill it full of holes straight down from the top as many and you can before you get tired, dribble a little old stale gas or coleman fuel or anything to aid the burning and THEN light your fire - you'll remove it in HALF the time- the fuel you add is obvious and the holes help air get into the stump like a Rocket stove!
Once you have the cabin you can put some Solar Panels meant for an RV camper as a Battery tender on the roof- then you neednt care about the decking letting in rainwater and running down the battery from the bilge pump
A Solar battery charger/trickle charger would be a winner for the boat. Mount it on the front of the console at an angle it would catch enough sun to keep the battery cells charged and save you peterol. You can then mount it on the roof of the cabin in the future as well.
A few air holes drilled into the sides of the logs and connecting to the saw cut, will help speed the process along.
Your journey is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Making some great progress! Love to see it.
Great work. Im living my dreams through you.
You can use your thumb to relieve pressure on the wedge when changing buckets. Also smack the wedge with a hammer then tighten it again.
While I miss the project builds, life like the one you’re building has always drawn me. Once upon a time I’d have lived just to do the manual labor of natural site clearing. These clean-up videos satisfy and I could watch the stump piles burning for hours.
Gracias por poner siempre la posibilidad de los subtítulos saludos desde Argentina
Love it, you are committed!
Just wondering... Why don't you get a wood chipper, and throw that on the paths?
There is a little thing called MINEY
@@daveklein2826 miney?
@@daveklein2826 I'm guessing you mean money. But then.. it is possible to rent such a machine.
The best trick to removing stumps is leverage, and the best thing to use as leverage to pull a stump is the tree itself. Spend 10-30 mins digging the dirt away from the base of the tree to get to the largest main roots. Cut the roots close to the stump with a chainsaw on one side, the tree falls over and pulls the stump out of the ground with it. Cut the stump off of the downed tree, remove stump. No stump. Takes far less effort and time.
The nice thing for those of us living in the "dark ages" is it is always at least 32 degrees warmer where we are at. Lol! Besides we also have a few more minutes of daylight each day than you who are living up by the artic circle.
Duuuude I wanna see more fire piles!!
Put a solar panel on your boat to keep the batteries fresh, even after whatever work you do.
Hey man, do a slower time lapse with that excavator work we love that stuff!!!
4:13; so your own authentic logging camp.
cool... : )
Princess auto? What a beauty sponsor for someone with a peice of property. The possibilities are endless 😂
It's very amazing to me, you are the Samurai carpenter. You stand out in the rain ,and then tell how us your soil is made up of sand and then you tell how much clay you have. Just wondering what it is you have?
Better to make 2 cuts w/ the chainsaw (like a cross) and pour a bit of diesel in it so the embers fall into the cross cuts and start to burn in the middle of the bottom of the cut. BTW, you'll only need a couple handfuls of twigs (small pile) burning on top & dropping embers into the cuts to begin the burn at the bottom. It burns from the inside out and leaves 4 quaters left standing to block the wind until the fire burns down into the dirt. Then the quaters fall inward and into the fire leaving nothing but dirt above ground.
Just a suggestion !! 3 days for a 14" stump !!
I was going to suggest something similar, but I was going to say to drill or plunge cut with the chainsaw then pour diesel in and leave to soak in overnight then cut as you suggest add diesel and burn.
When burning those big stumps, cut down as much as you can. I cut them into cookies, 6-10" thick and then split with maul (short pieces split easy). The pieces will have more surface area and less mass and will burn faster.
Have you tried uprooting the smaller trees with the mini before cutting? I've had good experience with it on Southern Yellow Pines up to 10" using a 12" bucket. Chop left & right sides, chop front, and push. If it's a difficult root, hook the root with the bucket teeth, push the back of the bucket to the dirt a little and curl the bucket, makes a nice lever with the back of the bucket as the fulcrum. The usual tree felling precautions of drop direction and nearby dead-standings still apply.
Try pushing some of the stumps into the forest for bird and animal habitat. There is a need to burn to get rid of the volume of tree debris. Nothing like a rip roaring fire and a cold beer to end a good day of work . Nice work by the way👍
Maybe you could find the time to explain your long term plans for dealing with the mud that comes this time of the year? I understand that you require more room to maneuver and to work, and that requires cutting down some trees and losing their roots effectiveness at holding soil in place, got it. But long term, how do you deal with the yearly deluge of mud?
Drill 25mm hole down as deep as you can, 300 mm is good, meet up with 25mm hole horizontal. Pour in diesel mixed with methylated spirit so it can catch light with a match. Pump in air using a camping air blower either mains or battery I’ve used both, that will shrink that stump as long as you can keep blower going
Dammit, I can't get enough of these videos!
OMG - you have firewood forever!!
Wow, cutting trees so close the water! In my area that can’t be done!
can't be done there either. good neighbours!
Why
Shoreland zoning rules that govern land within 250 ft of the water.
@@davidhaworth7152 like theire neighbours they are not saying anything. Shhhh
We need more time lapse of the fires burning 😂
There are more flames and smoke
Love it keep it up ❣️
Drill a hole down the center then one low and at a right angle , intersect the bore holes and you have a rocket stove it will burn the stumps much quicker
He has it handled spanky
your channel is the best its ever been! you're on the path brother
Slowly but surely. Looking good.
Look at the big words coming out in regards to units of measure from the Hockey American without a hockey rink in his backyard. :)
Literally making ground, Jesse!
Two words for greatly accelerating burning brush piles and/or stumps:
Leaf blower.
Looks like some good NW weather and MUD! Wondering if you've considered a chipper for some of that debris? Would really help with erosion and soaking up some of that mud. Just a thought. Love the progress and all the hard work!
This is a great idea. I have a small chipper on my 1 acre property and it's been great for clearing debris and putting it to use rather than just burning it. I still burn everything too small for firewood and too big for the chipper, but the wood chips are super useful.
Cabin with a roof means you can hang solar panels to help maintain your batteries.
There is SO MUCH downed timber there.... have you considered getting a chipper instead of burning it?
Seriously! Could lay the chips down for a path
Chippers (one that would make any kind of difference) are big, heavy, EXPENSIVE, and notoriously very inefficient. Also, I believe his goal is to create defensible space. So yeah, I bet he did consider it, and wrote that off early for being stupid.
I live in the PNW, small 2 acres with lots of timber, and I have a chipper. I use mine for limbs and small sapling. This is something that comes up frequently in the comments section though. A nominal 20 in throat chipper is not only huge, (must be towed) it is also cost prohibitive for a property of this size.
@@bryanvanderhoof4663 Thanks for the clarification
Buy him one
Had you covered those burning stumps with soil you would have had some quality charcoal there.
We need the Doom music as you're walking around with the chainsaw.
Awesome Property! Grab yourself a gold pan and maybe see if there's gold on them hills. just a thought
🍺🇨🇦beer time! 🫠
you should make a timber boardwalk road.
You should
I am telling you man, put some holes through those stumps, burn them inside out as well, will cut down on the burn time but not that you are in a hurry :D
I think you have enough firewood up there to last a few of life times. Your chainsaw is certainly paying for itself.
first person chain saw, takes me back to 007 Nintendo . love your channel !
I know it sounds stupid but if you put on a thin pair of latex or vinal gloves thin your insulated pair it will keep your hands warm I did it for riding a motorcycle and it worked.
Also, drilling several holes into stump, adding magnesium flakes, then set it on fire?
Why are you cutting al those trees???🤔🤔
Watch his videos asshole
Make room and probably for firewood
Wow very good! 👍
Have you thought about putting in a French drain using some decent quality PVC pipe?
Would a solar panel to keep your boat battery topped off help to let the bilge pump run as much as needed? Not sure how much sun and how much water you are in.
What did you expect? You cut too many trees... You need cover crops...and planting trees back or it will get worse and worse...good luck !
I made this comment some months ago and got totally punished for it but still do not see the attraction of living and working in such a rainy muddy environment. Having said that, I love watching your family, your workmanship and the vids!!
The POV footage of you with the chainsaw remind me of DOOM 😂
Where is this property on the Lake? Its driving me nuts I can't figure it out. Thinking its gotta be on the north side down near the end.....
Lookin good
Have U thought about a solar battery charger ? They work and much much cheaper than welding on a new deck. GOOD LUCK ‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
DUH
😂 you tell us you’re only going to be releasing videos every month or 2 then drop 3 in 2 weeks 😂
Why not cut up the stumps as low as possible to turn into more firewood; which you’ll need as much of as you can get!
TIME TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL NAME!! Wild Man Fire Samurai!! 🔥
NOPE
Joke.
Put a solar panel on to charge the battery for the Bilge.
…for you who are still in the dark ages. 😂 Still laughing at that one.
If you want to burn the stumps, you need a lot more fuel guys.
Do you think a stump grinder would be worth considering?
Cool. -Ü-
You need some Bellingham C4001BK or Snowblower gloves!
there is something about working in the rain with an excavator that makes you want to go inside your cabin and start a fire.
Jesse, will the road you’re building give you access to a ‘proper’ road, or just to the site of your house?
that's a first for me at Canadian that cannot make a fire
What a waste of a lot of good wood.
YOU ARE A WASTE OF OXYGEN. EVERY TREE SERVICE CUTS TREES 3' ABOVE THE GRIUND. IT SAVES THE BLADES
You need to get some thermite and make some little stone out of those big rocks
NO TO DANGEROUS IDIOT
u seem sad, hope u ok bro, much love
Yeah! a new video.
More, more, more. You’re living my dream. Keep following yours.
Lmao, love the DOOM camera view.
Bilge water draining batteries? Add a solar/wind turbine charging system
You pay for it
I know its backbreaking work all day with a chainsaw but come on admit it you're having a whale of a time and to be fair you're making real headway, great stuff, thanks for sharing it with us! cheers.
dark ages 🙂
Dear.
Is it legal to cut trees like you did..??
Because im my country it is not legal and may be under legal responsibility.
Best regards
