@user-zc5qy2sr1c 6 месяцев назад

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.

@billvandorn5332 6 месяцев назад

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😊😊😊😊

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.”

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. 😊

@idadho 6 месяцев назад

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.

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.

@slamsshenanigans2296 6 месяцев назад

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!

@theburtseoni 6 месяцев назад

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.

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 !!!

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.

@chuckbronco6485 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like you need a lesson in fire management. Pre wetting does nothing. The BTU's evaporate that small amount of wasted water very quickly. Secondly, the fire department extiguishes fires, they don't preplan them. A burn pile requires common sense.

The runways are set 6" above the finished main floor slab which is poured after the roof is on. I build 5-ft pony walls at the outside edge of the containers and land trusses on those. This gives you storage room on top of the containers. It also allows for a 14-ft high doors to the main floor. I usual put Bi-fold aircraft hanger style doors on both ends.
