Build a sauna! It's very healthy and relaxing during wintertime. 🙏
Now that's a useful recommendation. Second that...
I suggest down near the water so you can cold plunge. ✌️
The sauna would be great in a place like that where you can go swimming in cold water! Greetings from Finland!
100% Saunas are a body cleaner deluxe! Combine it with a cold swim then back into the sauna... a couple of these session before bed makes you sleep like a baby!
That’s a superb recommendation. We should ALLLL have a sauna and some way to cold plunge if we can afford it.
I couldn’t afford a sauna, but I do have a chest freezer that I’ve converted to a cold plunge!
Been following you since the workbench build and loving your content ever since.
I just want to say that I'm the kind of person that puts so much pressure on myself and feels guilty about taking time off when there's a million jobs to do. My advice...Don't ever judge yourself by the things you havent done, because they will always exist. Look at what you *have* achieved. Then look at your 'to-do' list and be humbled by the scope of your ambition. All the best from UK 🇬🇧
very wise. I'm feeling the same. Today was a good day to read your comment. thank you
good move. glad to see you connected with friends and your inner calm. having young kids - you don't get those years back. work will always be there.
Gone Fishing, Do Not Disturb Unless You're Bringing Beer. Everyday is a good day, Just some days are better! Thanks for sharing
"The work will be there when I get back" "the kids are only kids once" words to life by. Do it Jesse, I wish I had realized it sooner. If I could change the past I'd have spent more time with my kids, now it's too late. "I can change the future but not the past".
Love that your hanging out with your buds ....good times and good stress relief ....you can say what ever you want and they can say whatever they want and you both get it.... good times
Your work is you, your family is your world! Your doing good enough. Your children will understand creativity comes with a bit of crazy. Remember, you help us too, the sounds of nature and work are as human as questioning your purpose. Peace
On my "embankment" 70 feet down, 50 degree slope, driveway along the top edge, I just finished a "retaining wall." Not high, about four feet, but with a "crib." So forty feet long with two oak logs 14 inch diameter, twenty feet long each, on three concrete pads, Then six feet oak cross members 12 inch diameter, split lengthwise and the round side hollowed like a log cabin. Then dropped a very tall pine, a forty foot section about a foot diameter and laid that over the "log cabin" purches. The six foot logs get barried in the embankment and the crib gets secured with 16 inch pieces of rebar, holes drilled to fit lubricated with waste oil and sharpened to a point on the grinder. Drilled and pounded into the oak log vertically through the pine log, through the split and shaped cross log and into the big long oak log about six inches. Eight of those with 1/2 inch rebar and a heavy duty drill. Then a web "garden fabric" ~ heavy duty and presto. Just backfill and compact. Added a 15 foot level plain to the embankment with grass and a view. So much safer. Also a little gravel along the edge. Sripped the bark off of the pine log and added my secret ingredient ~ waste oil, deisel fuel and rust-oleum primer. Whew. The grass is growing. Just a shovel and wheelbarrow and cheap fill from the landscape people. But there's your excavator, whoo we! From New Hampshire. Best wishes. ✨🌸🙏🌸✨. 🇺🇸
That fishing was pretty mythically epic!
A lot on your shoulders. Stay strong, try to enjoy the process, remember that you are moving forward, not backwards.
Great video, glad you made time to decompress and help the mental state either alone working or fishing with friends. Appreciate you bringing us along so we also can have some of that peace through the screen.
You’ve got it exactly right Jesse. And the content will still be great. Enjoy LIVING in the outdoors!
Been watching you for years. Love your content. Everyone has rough patches. Yours is happening right now. I hesitate to give any advice. If I was giving advice to my past self I'd say this. Slow down, set realistic expectations and timelines. Except for your family, don't worry about what others think. Mix it up. Vary your schedule. Take time for yourself but balance your time time with family and solitude. Have fun, be a good Dad and husband. Remember that 90% of the crap we worry about are things we have no control over.
Love your message! I've recently found that one of the best ways to help chill is to quit all caffeine... I've been off coffee for a few months now and feel a lot more at peace. It's something worth considering doing.
Happy to hear you're having fun too Jessy. Taking time for yourself is as important as oxygen! We will follow you no matter how long this takes...no time lines here brother!
Nice one Jesse.(mental) health first + family and friends first, work second. That is the only way to go
Great video..........Enjoy Life.........its precious !!! God Bless
Glad you got some quality you time in.
On the oil filter, if no strap - then screw driver & hammer. Stab it clean through, rotate, remove, repeat. It's messier, but effective.
Glad to see that you're taking care of yourself brother!
Since your video expressing your needs, I have been very excited to see what's next!
It is great to see you back at it and voicing your plans for the future. Hearing the excitement for the future in your words is a sign that you are getting back to a good place. One step at a time.
You are doing amazing things to your land! It's so much fun and relaxing to sit and chill to your videos.
23:06 In the unlikely event of this happening, can't I just call you? You seem to be an expert on changing oil in the middle of the woods 😄
Good to see you again, Jesse, and true: time spent with family and friends is always spent well.
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!
A beautiful day for fishing!
Overwhelmed samurai. Ain’t that something.
Nice fishing, a lot of them in there. :) Smoked Salmon?
My best advice is to be fully present in each here now moment by moment unfolding, find as much joy in that as you can. Then when you look back at your life, there will be all those joyous moments to recall that you enjoyed.
Just a random comment here... another way to get an oil filter off in a pinch is to stab it with a screwdriver or equivalent and twist.. It is usually messy, but works. New ones also don't need to be tightened so darn much! Jesse, you make me tired just watching you work nonstop. Respect.
You are absolutely right, one digests the experiences one has had by either being alone or taking a "holiday" by becoming aware of something else.
In this way, you also create a basis of comparison for what you work with. Greetings from Denmark 🙂
Great video Jesse.. glad to see you enjoying life
if you are 100% sure you have the right oilfilter to replace the old one, hammer a big screwdriver straight through it.. now you have a handle to force it open. =D
Ya know I heard Joe Salatin talk about how I’m medieval Europe they used logs to terrace the hillsides/mountain sides and he said it was the most fertile ground in the word now. You’ve got plenty of them and they would give you more flat ground while also helping it before fertile for farming
Someone special to me once told me to “Never Force Nature, but Bend with Nature. Maybe look towards good old Japanese traditions and principles and embrace them. Image your an outcast Samurai Exiled from your old land, forced to travel the land until you and your family felt a connection with the new area your currently at now . Creating a new environment for your family to thrive in.
hehehe watching the sped up version of the machine work reminds of the movie Wally 😊 I am guessing a screwdriver through the oil filter was out of the question
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'd flatten the rocky areas, even if that's way more difficult. Terraces are nice, but without support they don't last. The trees and shrubs and grasses you removed, if you build there, won't get fully restored, and a building there will put more pressure on the soil. You can build a platform on concrete pillars on rock, to deal with unevenness, and it won't start flowing in a few years.
I ain't gonna lie, Jesse you're pretty darned skilled with that excavator! Dents notwithstanding.
God bless you and your family! Praying for you! If there is anything I can help you pray please let me know!
God I can relate to this guy. So similar. Solitude and hard work = inner peace.
Great to see the relaxed YOU... keep well dude. all the best from down under...
Mother of Invention, you could also hammer a long screw driver through it and undo it. I've had to do that a few times. It looks like you have more land that it looked. Great spot.
Tiny little salmon swimming in a stream
Tiny little salmon chasing that impossible dream
Former Marine Equipment Operator here, ✋🏻, clearing out the air filter is typically a daily ops check. If you look up your model online you can find the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Most machines have hour meters so you can have a better idea of what it needs based on actual use versus assuming daily use. We all have hit stuff, it’ll come with experience. In the meantime, if you’re going to operate alone, you may want to look for proximity sensors, and ensure your machine has ROPS and FOPS, roll over and falling objects protections. Stay safe and have fun!
Love to hear your thoughts about nature.
Se if you can plant native etable plants. So you have yourself a food forest. ❤
Sounds like you got it sorted out sir. Godspeed.
Hi Jesse, just got caught up on your last videos. Maybe to de stress is it possible, you can make a space and build a small wood shop. I my self have thing evolving my mom is in home care so I have to pay her bills, caregivers, insurance. when I feel over overwhelmed. I like to walk into my wood shop and sketch a project. The smell of saw dust and wood chips relaxes me in the shop and erases my worries away. Using my planes and chisels makes me more grounded. I think this will help you samurai, Respectfully! the big things will come in time but i feel you need to to have a space to do small wood projects like planter boxes for the cabin or a quaker chair for the cabin deck. :)
Yes Sir!
Nothing like jumping into a machine putting on some tunes a cleaning up your land, i did this a few years ago at the gun club and took it from wild bush to a clean tidy area which was both practical an fire safe. I was a get feeling and very rewarding
Regular fires are very good for forests
I don't understand people regretting anything. It's the past, and you can't change it. You live your best life, and there will still be things you wish you could have done, or not done...
Samurai, my one wish for you is that all your other wishes come
Amazing guutt 🙏
Dude, i wish the best to you and your family 🙏love the content from day 1😀
Fishing and family. That's life at its best. Oh, and cooking those fish over a fire with friends. Can't forget that.
Yup!
With all the work you do maybe it's time for a hot tub build... Some rocks and quick Crete, Cedar and heat it with a stove or barrel with a coil tube in it and lite er up when the going gets tuff and when the day is over and you just plop into some hot water and stare at the mountains.. Sounds like a grand day to me anyway... The bones like the warm-hot water
4:39. Yes. Clear the space.
Oh yeah!
Hey brother , justan F Y I , its also a good idea to change the hydralic filter and fluid at recomended hours and alwaws check your lines for rubbing as when they go it can cause major problems . I deal with that sort of thing daily .
cool to see you
Your definitely ruggedly built, bud 😂👍🏻
23:20: or~ stab a screwdriver into the filterbody & muscle like crazy to rotate.
messy but it works. : )
That oil filter was put on way too tight. No reason.
Fishing is always good therapy.
God bless you and your family.
Did you keep the roe you got from those beautiful fish? That is my favourite part! Salmon caviar.
good good
Samurai: clean your filter from the inside out rather than push dirt further into the media.
Ok I laughed, how do you know fall is here? Cause my friggin' door fell off!!
Get the solar powered Segway charging shed installed early so you can plan the routes now :D
Gaah, wanted to see some BBQ or butter baked salmon!
Get a pump to change the oil. No fuss no mess. Like the Pela Oil Extractor.
I know it doesn’t fit your style but the house in Ferris Bueller's Day Off had a pretty innovative way of handling uneven terrain.
I would highly recommend that you should look into cortisol controling supplements like rhodiola and also get your T levels checked, arguably you suffer from high cortisol due to stress and as a result low T.
Hi Jesse, before I totally ruin my chisel and plane blades would you share the sharpening angles you use.
I guess what I would say about people complaining about you cutting down some trees. When trees are cut down, other species do well. The wild life will love having the new growth. Its called stewardship of your land. The trees and growth on your piece of land is starting to show some huge changes. Imho for the better. Those dead and dying trees need to be cleared so the new growth can happen. Love your channel. All the negative nellies have no right telling how you should live. You are in the middle of a huge change. Building your new life when and how you want/need it. Don't be swayed by overbearing jerks telling how to live your life. Its yours, not theirs.
Filter change…. (Crude but works) just drive a long screwdriver into it and turn… It’s going in the bin afterwards anyway.
I would love to own one of those Hitachis, but I don't have the space to store it or land to use it on.
23:05 a good screwdriver through it and you twist, job done (yep, its super messy)
Have you ever thought of adding on to your cabin.
Hermosos videos!! Que Dios y La Virgen te bedigan junto a tu familia. Desde Colombia!!
Gotta watch out for erosions if you get a lot of heavy rainfall
Sensei , just recently found your channel and have watched many of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I do have a question or two. I’m about to build a post and beam shed with mortise and tenon joints and I wondered if you would use 4x6’s for the corner post. I planed on using 4x4’s The shed will be 14’x12’.
Not sure when fire season is, but I always like making a big fire
People love to complain about the small piece of ground, (comparatively to the thousands of acres around you) ruining the ecosystem. Humans are part of the ecosystem. Slow and steady wins the race bud, as the work doesn't give immediate gratification it will come. It will get done. Thanks for sharing.
NEXT TIME, you change the oil, when you pull the drain plug, open the fill cap and it'll all go out fast and smoothe instead of that "Glug glug glug" action you had going there due to no air coming in the crank case.......
Hi, as you are working alone, please please start the chainsaw in a secure way, either on the ground or with the rear handle secured between your thighs. Swinging it like in the video is a real risk to cut your left thigh. With that said I really enjoy your talks about living in the present and creating memories with your family, eventhough memories are just memories but creating them are important
traditional long bow would be much more meditative than compound
Hej Jesse, how did the Outboard engine story end? Just bought another one and if so, which? Just curious!
Still waiting to hear back from the insurance company as to whether they will cover it. I’ll update everyone in a video when we get it sorted.
Please, can someone show this villain how to fell and delimb a tree ... safely.
So your bow broke. Make a new one it’s super cool.
🇳🇴👍👍👌
1:27 wtf is this building in background?
Great video. Great authenticity Great work. One day at the time…… Someday one hour at the time. Thanks for sharing. Faith in Jesus and asking the Holy Spirit for clues help to. From Mirabel, Quebec ⚜️ 🌺🌸🌼🤚
TERRACE he said terrace folks
When I had my company before my fiancé died it says that I could only go on vacation under therapeutic guidance because I was a chronic workaholic.
.
Don't keep hens
Or just plant a fking screw driver in date old filtre and use it for leverage 😂 like 80 % people
Why don’t you make a nice travel with your family and get to meet some new people and cultures.
Just get out and bring yourself and family to a new and strange environment.
That could help you to refocus on your position and give you some new energy.
Just an idea.
I presume you are a) going to add a significant firebreak for your house, and b) have worked on sighting the house first and worry about all the nature loving stuff second or at least as a 2nd priority.
Put some weed in that pipe of yours
