Grandfather. Part I. Winter - Horse Logging 

I can relate to that longing too. We were 'all' made for something more. Our Creator made us in His own image and put eternity in our hearts. That's why we long to create, but it's also why nothing fully satisfies us here. Through Christ all peoples from every tribe and nation who personally trust Him will one day "live the dream". There's more to life than this one, but like in the video of Grandfather, we catch glimpses of it here and there.

of course sun up where he lives in winter is noon and sunset not long after...

@Jerry Andersen that's how farms work

Well, that's because we invented technology so we can do less. 🤷‍♂️

This Northland is my lovely country- Latvia. Granfather speaks Latvian, radio in kitchen speaks Latvian, too.

ME TOO!!!

We have all just learned a lesson of the simplicity off life, he is the wise man we are the fools. Great video,.

Indeed I do concur dear Sir. We seem to gravitate towards ever & ever more complex lives when quite frankly, there is no need. Kind regards.

ToolsConsumables I well remember these days! It's what we call " the good old days"!

Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your comment. If I may, I partially do concur with your good self however were it not for the "good modern days", you & I would not have this wonderful opportunity to reminisce. On the other hand in the good old days we had more humanity than we do today but less technology which is suppose to alleviate all the laborious suffering & improve our quality of life. What is one to deduce??? As we find new means of "improving" our existence, we become less caring towards one another? I leave you with this ponder. Kind regards.

I reckon there's someone around, most of the time. They tried to keep it about Grandpa, but you don't want to do much of that kind of work, alone. Just too easy to get sideways and get disabled, no matter how careful you are. When he was manhandling the log, he was pretty careful, but that's enough weight, you want somebody at least within earshot. So many creakings, I wasn't sure if the snow was telling me it was severely cold, or if it was just the equipment. It doesn't look like it was super-cold, though. Love the shaggy draft horse. That's an animal that can work in the severe cold! Big, thick animal, built for the cold, for sure! I'd love to see them falling and trimming the trees. You can really see, though, how the primitive ways limit how much you can take out in one day. And especially in winter, I'd be more concerned about safety than production rate. Just kinda cool to think one guy with those methods building his own house from scratch, although I'd be OK with his buying his nails rather than make him go dig up some iron ore and smelt it, himself. LOL! But there are ways to build wood-frame without metal fasteners, too.

Start with something small like growing an herb garden. 🤗

Why? 🤔

Only natural sounds brother.. Why would you think that we would spend time making fake sounds while we have a good stereo microphone on our camera? It would not make sense then to create documentary movies with foley fake sounds. We are recording sound in uncompressed 24bit 48 000 hz .wav format and later post processing in Logic.

Totally agree! Great sounds!

Which is exactly the microphone that you use? Congrats for the work!

@@neemantools I dont think he meant it that way :) I love the sounds too ALL of them my favourite for some reason is grandfathers footsteps....there is sometbing so blessed about what you are doing. God bless you and be with you alway. Jesus saves! John 3:16-18 KJB

a thought for poor orphans who do not have parents and grandparents of their own. It's one of the most cruel fate for any animal or human.

Nick Spittler im only 52 yet when i was small my parents and grandparents did most things like in this film

Emma Ziegler , i won't be 50 till August. I live in the Allegheny mountains, part of the Appalachian chain. The old ways are hanging on here. Although it is less evident than when I was young.

Well said ❤

It is never too late! :) Thank God that you did realize this truth and now even if you cannnot make this your own reality you can pass the realization and advice on to someone who can. May God bless you and keep you! Jesus Saves John 3 :16-18 KJB

Bless them all for doing their best 🌱🌻🌲💚

My father was the same way and we are from USA my father would not eat until he fed his animals

I was taught that growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, we fed and milked the cows before we even had coffee. Same rule still applies on my farm now, animals get fed before we eat

И ВАМ, КРЕПКОГО ЗДОРОВЬЯ И СЧАСТЬЯ !!!!!!!

It is Latvia. Grandfather speaks Latvian.

England is big coorporation. The land of finance, white collars and free masons. The root of all evil is England.

We actually have no idea how happy he is. I can assure you he isn’t obsessed with getting likes on social media or bothered by trolls on the internet though.

You have just restored my hope in youth. Don't forget what you said as it is a wonderful life. I lived something like that only I worked my farm and logged with mules. I milked a cow until a couple of years ago and I still keep calves, pigs and chickens; I do still keep saddle horses because my daughter and grandkids likes to ride. As an old man and crippled I am no longer able to follow the mules so I just read, watch videos and think about my memories.

Cody so true. Tv today is all this trashy reality show junk. This surpasses it in both content and quality.

Will K Can you imagine watching these videos at a theater?!!

Cody that would be amazing!

Yes, it is uniform sweater from Zemessardze- the voluntiers «land guard» military organisations in Latvia. Anyone, who wants to train to be voluntier military guard of our country, can become a member of «Zemessardze».

απο που εισαι πατριωτακι;

ChillakoC92 - Γειά σου, φίλε μου. Ορεινή Δωρίδα, νομός Φωκίδος της Στερεάς Ελλάδος. Εσύ;

@@dorianphilotheates3769 Ωραια τα μερη σου. Εγω καταγομαι απο Νεδουσα στον Μεσσηνιακο Ταυγετο οπου και θα επιστρεψω, αλλα μενω στο Ντουμπαι αρκετα χρονια. Να εισαι παντα γερος!

ChillakoC92 - Ντουμπάϊ, ε; Ωραία! Η Μεσσηνία γενικά είναι πανέμορφη. Εργάστηκα για ένα διάστημα στην Πύλο το 2012. Κάναμε έρευνα στην θέση Επάνω Εγκλιανός στην αρχαία Πύλο (ανάκτορο του Νέστορος). Τώρα βρίσκομαι στο Τορόντο του Καναδά• άντε μια μέρα να γυρίσουμε όλοι στην Πατρίδα. Σου εύχομαι ο,τι το καλύτερο, φίλε μου. Με πατριωτικούς χαιρετισμούς από το χιονισμένο Τορόντο!

then you go to the local supermarket and see 3-4 morbidly obese americans in a row victim of the beef growth hormone industry that they ate in their adolescent year and that has made a grotesque joke of the body nature had in mind. Then you wonder how stupid is the average american population to not have yet sued the food industry. There will come a time in the next ten years where bio science will prove this. Growth hormone is illegal in other parts of the world and you won't find morbidly obese people, maybe one in a year not 3-4 everytime you go shopping as in usa. Get ready for millions of lawsuits against the agro food industry and especially against the FDA that is useless. I don't understand why companies like monsanto have not yet been eradicated by popular revolt.

goognam goognws This was an off-topic response...it sounds like you're trying to dodge personal responsibility. GH is messed up and should be rightly banned, and their are some medical causes in some cases but by far most with this issue just lack self control. They're not victims of anything but their own behavior.

SLFYSH 74? I thought he was 94

Ты неверное видео без звука смотрела
