@@BrianBriCurInTheOC AMEN!
180, not 360 :)
@@BrianBriCurInTheOC So, this is a show.........you knew that right LOL
7:34 dear friends 😍 that thing is perfect for chicks 🐥😍 make a small place for them and use that chips
I laughed at you scrambling when fire was spreading. Having burnt my share of wood my 1st rule is always have fire fighting measures in place from the start. Everything worked out!
Good advice
For Them To Be Sooo Smart THAT WAS NOT SMART 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@georgecharokee4570 And then to film the fire getting out of control not so smart either.
Most likely made up drama for clicks. Not a good look or way to gain subscribers.
@@NotOnYourLife i doubt it.
Instead of over-dramatizing in your so-called out of control fire, show your loyal viewers how to safely prepare a slash pile burn before hand. Cut a hand line around the pile, set up the IBC tote and pump, and lay out the hose. Show us how be prepared ahead of the burn, not afterwards.
The slabs you burned would have been great firewood. for your home. Burning in the forest always requires fire prep from the first to the end of the burn.
You would think that you'd use those wood for firewood since living 'off-grid' but I guess that's just me. Not the branches, but there were some big trunks there as well. I heat my house with wood and I'm not even living 'off-grid'.
yep. i know nothing about wood prices in the us but over here that would have been thousands of dollars that where lit on fire. wood chips are also expensive as hell.
They're YouTubing Millennials. They don't care. 😂
So, we learned a lesson: pre-stage the water brigade before controlled burns. Just in case.
No harm done, so no biggie as long as you learn from the mild panic!
Stay safe and have fun with the rest of your winterizing projects!
There were lots of lessons learned this week! We should have pulled the pile further from the hill and staged our water ahead of time.
I find it ironic that Riley is saying using diesel to start a fire is irresponsible but not having fire suppression equipment deployed isn't. I have seen millions of acres go up in smoke because of this type of irresponsible behavior. Not to be taken lightly.
Always try and keep the fuels in the tanks topped off to reduce water condensation. This will help with rust mitigation and then he freezing during the winter. Adding a good diesel treatment won't hurt especially since you don't have glow plugs.
Then you can stock up on the diesel fuels in case the road is blocked from heavy snows. Having a can or two of starter fluid won't hurt either. And I'll spare you the details about fire safety😊
You guys have come a long way pilgrims and I'm very happy for all three of you. But I sense another babies on the way😊😊😊😊
Practical experience is always good. You might consider, next time, place that ICB tote in the pack of your P/U, buy a high-pressure Honda water pump, hook some fire hose up, and you’ll have Mobil water ….
@@CaptainRon13 Ironic that someone thinks they are being irresponsible with the amount of diesel they were using to start a slash pile yet unprepared for fire suppression and a lack of defensible space.
I like your generator and your solar system
"it always looks easier in my mind"! Can't imagine the number of times I have thought that after I got into a project 🤣🤣🤣, Glad you got those branches out!
Always clear an area around your burn pile down to bare dirt to keep from spreading !!!
Good advice.
Yea he has plenty of equipment to do that.
@@tyronestucker8980 Ya? Even with all that equipment on hand once the fire gets away from him there's only so much one man can do. Ask me how I know.
or wait until the first snow and then set the fire
even safer !!@@zedwpd
Surprised to see chipping and burning, seems like one or the other would do. The lumber cut offs we call slab wood. Makes decent firewood!
Ahhh dryness and fire, hello!!! 😮 surprised y’all were surprised it was spreading…
Put the mulch that you chipped on the slopes that are eroding that will slow the erosion down tell me about 4 to 6 inches thick it will also help retain moisture for stuff that you plant on the slopes😅
Why not use all that for firewood to heat the house?
A chipper, perfect!
A M E N!!!
maybe a 500 gallon diesel tank for the winter ?
Just a quick tip in the Vermeer chipper. When you feed a branch in, walk to the side of the machine. They can corkscrew a branch and smack you really bad. Never stand behind it. Sometimes they throw big pieces straight out back at you. I used an 18 inch model for about 20 years and saw how nasty they can get. Awesome machine though. 😊
Those who know in Idaho do not burn slash piles until there is snow on the ground. Build your slash pile. Cover it with a cheap tarp. When it snows, pull the tarp, as some diesel or oily/pitchy evergreen and light up.
Did I miss the update on the Shallow Well I know you said how many gallons a day it was giving, but any other update? Sharing for the 500K mark, hoping for a Million!
Awesome video, keep them coming!
When it rains, your boy is going to love running around under your shipping container barn. Always wanted one for my son.
So I’m still watching and you probably figure it out but always grade to clear earth around about a 10-20 ft radius around your burn piles and you only have to worry about flying embers vs the fire just climbing up the hill
Having water n pump set up before hand also eliminates stress. Putting the water pump combo on a trailer would be good for you guys and could be a fab video all to itself!
You have a Cat D8. That’s the go-to tool in forest fire management. In the future, use it to clear a large pad, level pad for your burn pile. Then on the burn day, have the bulldozer right there during the burn.
May I suggest the Video "Back to Eden." Chips are priceless when it comes to gardening.
Your videos are awesome. Be safe, Reggie
Congratulations on 500K views!❤🎉😅
Burn pile clearance, x2 the size of the pile, all sides. Minimum.
I'm glad this fire was controlled quickly. Kinda scary and a good reminder to have a solid plan. And cleared area.
Yip , ill take the big chipper thanks
I have one it is awesome
Hey GUY's, Just a thought about burning wood/tree debris is to have a special spot with no other trees or bushes around. Make a fire pit just for that purpose. It can get out of hand. Always have a fire extinguisher or water ready before any burning starts. Safety first.
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY 💯 🤔😑😑😑
It’s a lot of work moving wood to designated burn area. Burning after dark once dew sets in is a great deterrent.
You two have done a huge amount of work and the place looks very smart ,,you two have got a good working attitude ..I’m so glad that I subscribed it’s good to watch these videos ,I love the as you come a long way ,,and your Bub is beautiful cheers stay safe God Bless you all three of you ❤️❤️😀😀👍👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Always exciting...episode never long enough.
Brush burning 101, be prepared with water, shovels, etc.
😃😎
perhaps you should have the water and pump there before you start a fire :)
Should probably already had a hose ready to go before you start the fire in a forest. lol
Best fire starter I’ve found is paper towels soaked in your used bacon grease. Just soak up the grease and put them in a container for later. Put some small wood in a chimney starter and grease soaked towel under it. Inside of a few minutes the chimney will be roaring.
Btw my dad, who was born and raised on the farm, always said “fire is a wonderful slave, but a horrible master.”
I have the hf chipper! Works great! You're fire suppression system is worth it's weight in gold! Keeping that ready is important to you!
I had the same HF chipper until this summer when it got stolen from me.
I love your vids
Would love to see a video of her as she edits the parts that you took while she is gone.
You’re so lucky. Anytime you are welding, burning trash and slash have water nearby. I guess you know that by now. That was scary. Fires here in California are nightmares that you don’t want. Glad you are all ok. One thing you don’t have in the back 40 is a satellite phone for when cells go down and you really need help. Maybe you can mention next Sunday. Stay well, John
Wait, can we get a video on your abandoned home stead off grid cabin, we would love to see this, and don't flatten it, please save it and make in to into a playhouse/ den for your son Oliver for when he's older growing up to share with Riley :) Likes to save the cabin !!
Nice clean up guys. Just a thought, avoid burning and chip it off as that will enrich your soil in the years to come and also it will be eco friendly without the burning ❤
Exactly what the land needs!
Remember saying to them before don't burn wood, chip it.

Your journey through life is such a great story to follow.
When I want to cut and clear brush around the burn area I've found that it's hard to beat a 10" x 80 tooth Carbide Tip Brush Blade mounted on a straight shaft string trimmer. They cost about $15 for a pair online. The carbide can slice through up to at least a 3-1/2 " diameter sapling (as long as I don't tilt the blade and cause it to bind or push it hard enough that the engine speed drops excessively.) When my big Husqvarna trimmer was down I got a $120 / 26 cc straight shaft trimmer from a discount store and it has handled the blade very well too ! I never imagined how much I'd use this tool it until I had one.
Thanks for the video !!!
Back in my younger days I used to clear downed trees and brush in the mountains for people. We stacked the piles and waited till the first snow fall to burn them. We would put tar paper on the top of the piles to keep a section dry and make it easier to get a fire started. But at least you are prepared for a fire run away with your fire fighting tank and pump. Your place is really looking nice too! And little Oliver is sure a cute little guy!
Riley I think you need put culvert and pipe I think you will another mud time
When I burn I always have tools and water at the ready before I even start.
I saw in your next video you installed a kohler generator.
We run one for our off grid system and love it. Hope yours works as good as our.
Just keep in focus: YOU TWO are the stars. YOU TWO are master videographers. You don't need anyone else in the focus.
So impressed with your off grid power system and with your military diesel generator as a backup to charge your batteries so well thought out, so very entertaining watching your channel keep up the Great Life!
When you have 1 million subscribers you should invite us all to help you build that skii lift and a hill or what you call it to go skiing in!!! 😜❤🇸🇪
Wow! Why wouldn’t you have water on standby 😮😮
a bio gas generator would be a cool addition to the different energy sources you have installed on the property you could heat and possibly generate electricity. also a mini Pumped-storage hydroelectricity system might be a cool and cheep way of increasing your total energy storage capacity using extra solar power to pump water to a higher elevation then at night let it flow back down to spin a Micro Hydro trubine to covert the potential energy back into electricity (would a summer project for sure).the youtube channel @Landtohouse would be a good place to start a lot of research would be required to make it worth. would be a very cool video series
Riley was right size does matter when it comes to chippers and burn piles! 🔥🌲
???????????????????????????
At 1,000,000 you should build a fire watch tower. Lol
You can't leave Riley unsupervised haha, great video
The safety committee has entered the chat.
We always wait for either a big rainstorm or the first snow in Nov to do our slash piles, just too risky otherwise living out where there's no fire service
That chipper comparison was a HOOT!! I love burn pile times! Pull up a chair and be mesmerized! Always enjoy your “can do” attitudes! Courtney, love your femininity along with your enjoyment of POWER engines! Plus you’re an excellent Mum and amaze me with your hard work ethics. Riley your ingenuity never seems to amaze me. I’m eager to see what you design next! You’ll get your million subscribers, positive of that!
What makes your program attractive is no click bait or drama . I am pleased to say I’ve been a long time follower , I feel there is no way in any world would you start your land on fire without looking around and making wise choices .
Subscriber since they got the army truck and I feel the same , no fake drama please and keep it real. It's not their first fire...
Someone Smokey the bear said Only you can prevent forest fire and in one handed a shovel
Got my pulse up during the burn pile ... perhaps watch a few videos on how embers 'explode' from fire and wind somehow speeds them along into the nearby fuel. But your pre-planning for ground water well, dedicated tote ready to grab and the high pressure pump and power source paid off. Whew.
Does it ever get so cold there that the propane will not flow?
I know in Minnesota it has gotten that cold.
I am just so surprised that you haven't gone with a pellet fed boiler.
You have so much wood resource to make your own pellets.
just outdoor wood boiler in general
There are also wood chip heaters
Cleaned up pretty good. God bless.
its a stresser when u have the fire wanting to spread and equipment wanting to tip over, i have been there, thanks for the videos guys.
So a bought a big $800 chipper shredder a few years back because every year I have to cut and burn so much tree debris off my property I thought it would be nice to just use one of those and make free mulch. Well let me tell you, it was probably the worst purchase ever due to the fact that I had to process everything down so that it would fit in that little shoot and was so much work and so time consuming not to mention the noise, vibration, jams, etc. that I quickly found out that the thing is pretty much worthless, now that big behemoth thing you rented is great but not something I would ever be able to cost effectively use so I sold the chipper at a loss and am back to burning.
that new container building looks so good on the property. happy for you kidz!
You may want to wait until there’s a foot of snow on the ground before you start burning.
Nice solar set up!
Glad you have a set up for portable water aka fire prevention system
I Love watching this kind of work ❤. You guys will Definitely get to Half a Million subscribers before you know it 💥❗️
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
I am 72 years old and have been through numerous fire training on different jobs and have seen the after effects of huge fires. You should have about eight fire extinguishers located placed around your property. I have 12. You should never start a fire outside without pre planning and staging how to put out a HUGE fire. Close your eyes and imagine having nothing left on that site. Please take care of this.
Looking good! Try to keep your batteries over 20% as where you start to harm your cycle count on Lithium Iron batteries!
I started a grass fire using a cutting torch . Even though i was out of city limits the fire department is just a mile away. They were called and thank God it wasnt to bad but i am very carefull and will not burn brush unless there is snow on the ground.
Wow fire🔥🧯🥵thank goodness you had water & pump
But next time when you pile wood make sure it's in a pit so you can cover it with dirt then water...
I really agree
As a professional arborist, never ever ever wear loose clothing whilst using a wood chipper
I winced more than a few times. Even cut remnants have ways of grabbing loose clothing and pulling you in.
Get a rain system on all your roofs to collect tons of water for possible fire situations.
With your fire fighting add some dish soap to increase the wetting effect.
That’s all good fire wood!
I know you have alot of trees but it's sad to see all that good wood get burned/ shredded.. that would make a cute rustic chicken coop or fencing around a garden. That burn pile area would be a good garden spot now. ❤
Hi guys fire looks good have a good Thanksgiving!
Awesome burning video..glad u got it contained..great video
We just have a simple burn barrel to burn cardboard/paper. After almost burning my yard down we only burn during rainy days.
That god for the trusty diesel generator without it there will be darkness
I so envy these two! Playing with fire and using a wood chipper? My favourite activities, but on a huge scale. Wow!
having had burn piles for 50 years, and a few mistakes also..... since you have a way to add fuel easily, (excavator, I do that too) make your pile smaller with good clearing around it. You weren't that bad, but it could have been a bit clearer. #2, have water READY to pour on if necessary. Dampening the area around the fire isn't that great. it just burns off, especially since you don't have that much water. Also you burned on a nice sunny day. Burn when it is sprinkling or raining. Hell, burn in the snow, then you know it will not go far. whatever you do, don't burn in the wind!
These guys have a million -plus & in heavy equipment, easily. Speaking as an "actual" homesteader, wow, must be nice.
We all make mistakes but fires can really be dangerous. I am an Aussie and had a bush property in Victoria. Any burning needed a fire break around, yes water nearby, I was in the volunteer fire brigade so had access to that resource, pick the day- wind strength and fire rating. You have the dozer so having that nearby and ready will pile dirt onto small outbreaks fast. I don’t like fires in pines as they can go fast. Still this didn’t look to be uncontrollable. This was a good educational video. Thanks for sharing.
We have rented that same model chipper several times. I use my excavator to feed in the logs. It can actually take up to 12 inch logs. I love how it makes chips so fast.
500k here you come!! Can we buy tickets to the dozer show plz?
Riley said you can drive the dozer… 😉

Yes Cortney watch is so satisfying. And it also puts me to sleep. Thanks for the video
Courtney & Riley,
Burning and clearing is so satisfying. Plus it keeps you warm.😁 Thanks for sharing. You guys rock!❤
Smokey The Bear…
We need to get you some more batteries.
I know of several companies with good to great products.
I’d be happy to share my knowledge for fun.
I’m 2 hours south of Spokane :)-
Wish your family huge success!!
This video seemed do short! It was scary to see how fast that fire got wild.... This last summer we had some crazy winds here which caused 2 fires go wild and we were close to both of them. We had to evacuate until it was safe , when the winds shifted. Now I think I'm more prepared with a big box of family photos and a few other very important things ready to grab.
See you all next video.
If you epoxy paint that railing on your deck...it won't rust.
They need to prep their burn site better
Love your videos. With Oliver, a big plus. The cleared area with Gravel looks very nice. Hoping a winter time project is the Square Body Chevy with current signs attached is a coming event. Ron PTL USA
Just a hint set up a pump n water a fire brake around burn site I also didn't see any marshmallows steaks or bread to toast come in guys you didn't even have a beer ready to drink while watching the pile burn lol
In my area there is a wood mill and a campground. The campground buys/gets the mill's offcuts and sells them for firewood. Just an idea for you folks. :)
Maybe mount a big hose on the excavator boom for future fire control. :)
Maybe now you will test, using boiled cornstarch and baking soda paste for fighting fires. It will stay wet for up to 2hrs vs how fast water alone dries out.
Note TetraKO in a 300 gallon tank will go a lot farther than just using a 300 gallon tank of water maybe up to 3x.
Future project for the OBS Ford: '05+ front axle swap, w/a '08+ rear leaf swap. Electric fuel bowl. It would modernize the truck and keep it viable and comfortable for decades moving forward!
Plus, front leaf to shock conversion (I think that year was still front leafs) and a transfer pump to use some of that fuel capacity around the property
