Keep things rusty, except your tools!
Firewood heats you three times: once when you cut it, again when you split it and a third time when you burn it.
How about when u stack it ?
@@2centsam927 how about when you plant the tree
How bout when you love it??

🤔
you could add a bit more for every time you move it.
Gotta love having a truck for each specific task.
Best gas engine on the planet. I miss them 300s terribly. They always outlasted the truck they were in
They were a fantastic power plant for reliability and longevity and would just pull from nowhere. The Merlin engine of pick-ups.
Honestly I'd have to agree with ya. I'm on the edge of yanking out the i6 engine and transmission outta a truck and do a heart transplant. The original Truck is pretty clapped out
300 for the win! Love the old 6's. One of the best power plants that Ferd ever made. 😎👌
I love getting fire wood glad to see younger generations still enjoying the out doors.
The ole ford power steering whine, never gets old, like a ceiling fan to put you to sleep
Always enjoy your cold starts what a strong engine . And can’t say enough about how good these 6 six in a row ready to tow.
Why am I interested in fire wood & sub freezing weather, whilst stuck in the Bahamas? Just love seeing snow & fire wood!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Man you bring back memories, I had a '79 f150 with a 400m and that motor was hell to start when it was really cold and I did the exact same thing for fast idle 👍🏿😁...looks like Ford💪🏿 country too👍🏿👍🏿
Got a chill going just looking at that frost covered engine! Thanks for the video, appreciate it greatly, and like always, all the best and God bless to all!
I'm 46 yrs old and this sure brings back memories of my early firewood days in northern WI
I really enjoyed seeing the old girl getting a double sniff of starting fluid. Once fired up to run on her own. You always get them going. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to your next adventure.
There is something about those old trucks man. Ain’t wrong with newer trucks they are sweet too but those old ones, you know what I’m saying.
Ye old Alaskan Sourdough Throttle Stick, tuned my first ASTStick back in 65. 🤣
I've had pretty good luck pumping the chock in and out as the engine turns over. However, every rig is different and what may work for one may flood another ...
Old FORDs 🙄 what can I say? temperamental, or just mental? eccentric or idiosyncratic? FORDs are complicated like that.🤗 that's why I love them.
😂🤣👍Thanks
Love the sound of a 300 straight 6.
Hey Brother! I must've forgot that one has a six in it. What would be cool is to have an inventory chart and a nickname for every running member of your stable. I've been subscribed to your channel for over 2 years now and it NEVER gets old! Thanks for being part of our life!
It's always a good day when it snows *in* the truck
300 six goodness. Have two of them. Cool real life videos of the northern climate and old iron!
2:36 "I guess she's not going to have it without some persuasion", can I get a hell yea brother. lol
See you can use a truck for anything Love the outdoors and lots of snow
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
You have the same fast idle stick as my old ferd. Lol
DUDE! You got snow on your floor! 😊. It’s hard to imagine that someone picked this truck up brand new and would actually care about snowy floorboards. What a great wood getting truck.
At 4:45 this has got to be the famous "Alaskan Cruise Control" 😀
This guy has got to have some dirt cheap insurance for all these trucks
I am absolutely shivering watching your breath and looking at the beautiful snow here in Central Florida lol. However here when it drops into the 50s I am freezing. Love your videos and exceptional talents for someone so young. Continued success
That battery is the MVP of this video! Co-MVP is that truck lugging firewood back to the shop. Nice slice-of-life episode in the great north. Until the next one! Cheers!!!
Omg love the stick on the pedal. I use a ice scraper in my old Chevy for high idle 👍👍
I got hit head on on my motorcycle in 1972, and with some of (under $5k) the settlement, bought a brand new 1973 8100 GVW camper special pickup. Dang, was that a sweet rig. 2WD, but it was a runner. Took that thing some crazy places, had a lot of fun.
cool method
wow must be hell of a battery !? ;- ()- love the woodenblock choke ;-))
Reminds me of my old 75 Ford F100 4x4 390 starting routine when I lived in Wisconsin, it even had the same power steering whine.
The only vehicle better than a Ford truck, has not been built yet.
Nice work…Love to see the old dependable Fords hard at work. Stay warm buddy.
That truck looks right at home in the snow
When I was in British Columbia I had 3 houses with fireplaces and wood cast iron inserts worked well and saves tons on natural gas heating. something about a wood fire. Loved to go out and cut and split my own. Cool video..
What kind of cast inserts , in Ontario
I love it Thanks for sharing, you no its cold when it sounds crunchy.
Man John deer Cosby sauce, fast idle sticks and shitty old ford's sounds like a good time there
You need to get yourself some start ya bastard starting fluid from Australia it is an actual thing maybe they will sponsor you
Hey Backyard ! Paul here. Just discovered your channel a month ago. I have a 55 Dodge C3H 1 1/2 ton I bought a couple years back . It's restored with an all steel M37 troop carrier bed and the baby hemi. So I loved your vids on your 56. I just found a vid I think you'd like on CZcams. It's on the "History Hit" channel. It's titled "We found some of the rarest vehicles of world war two" . My son is 30 and loves Cummins Diesels. Has two Dodge Rams he plays with. A 91 4x4 and a 2004 4x4. Anyway it's refreshing to find young guys who love mechanical stuff instead of video games ! 👊😎👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
That snow is very dry up in the north country, down here in Washington it’s like heavy concrete. Fire the stove up and stay warm young Man.👍
Old 300 those are practically bulletproof. -30 degrees it sat through and still fired up. Even if it needed a sniff or two of the good stuff.
If that battery was in the truck overnight and cranked like that it's a great one.
I remeber haveing to do this with a ol f150 90s except we had a cap on the back. Holy hell did it hurt banging your head off the steel bars on the truck cap but good memories
That things got alotta rust
It'll buff out
Him cold, Kemosabe.
Awesome video thanks!! Are you getting the heavy snow like here in Anchorage.??
JOHN DEERE FOR THE WIN
Good Job
Very Nice
Zip-Tie style give it the Cosby sauce and use the stick for the choke. And it’s an old Ferd. The only thing you didn’t do is give it all the onions.
(me screaming at the screen) put heet in your gas tank!! lol.
That's my size of tree. Don't have to split it.
Nice long pieces. I wouldn't be able to fit those lengths in my Blaze King Princess.
Which stove do you use? I need to pick a large one up for my shop
If you only had one truck to do everything, you would have to work so much harder, makes sense to collect a few, if for nothing else that if you have many at least one will start. I would only get away with it if they were all different makes or types, I could have 1 tractor, 1 excavator,1 truck, 1 crane but if I came home with another tractor questions would be asked.
Idk whose winning the fight. The starter or that battery. Heck of some specimens lol
So jealous of these old “junk” ford trucks. I wish I could have them here(europe), they aren’t junk to me
Stay worm SIR
Did the same thing today
300 incline6
🤠👍
🔥
👍 👍 👍 👍
Built Cold Tough..lol
What is hanging down from under the rear of the truck?
Spare tire bracket
@@BackyardAlaskan ah yes, should’ve recognized that after all Fords I’ve owned Lol! Also the poorest design Ford ever came up with IMO.
didnt know you had that highboy
It's a 1979 F150, not a highboy.
Hey Backyard, Paul again. I ordered a copy of the Service Manual on CD Rom and a reproduction of the Drivers Manual on EBay for like $40. Both are invaluable for working on these Dodge trucks. Check it out ... 👊😎👍 ... Your Welcome ...
They want to run…
typical ford lol loudest thing is the p/s pump.
Why shovel the back out prior to loading? Nah
Gas gauge shows empty, but I reckon you know better?
I don't think that model has electric fuel pump use your foot pump
