I accidentally bought a new Honda Rancher. How much can it drag through the snow? #76 

That's exactly what I'd do. I cannot stand the red.

Excellent idea Metal Horses!

Camo wrap is the way to go.

I would leave it red as it would be a lot harder to loose it in the woulds and snow.

Exactly!

Same as i thought

Makes it easier to find in the snow.

Yeah i kinda wish he would insulate a small shed. Everyone keeps on about putting in a wood stove and I have to agree that cabin with insulation, wood walls and a wood stove would be more than enough to heat that enough to keep everything warm. Even one of those old cast iron cook stoves in an outdoor lean too would be more than enough to cook on and even have enough to heat enough water for shower/bath every day. There are stock pots that are 120 liters that cost a couple 100 dollars, with a simple square brick stove under it would be enough to keep the pot warm the bulk of the day. Just something a bit smaller and about 2.5 feet tall with a open wood hole at the top and side to allow the wood in and then some rebar for ash grate it would boil enough water to have a good shower. My self I would have built a bunch of things to make it easy to live out there all the time. This really roughing it. The amount of money spent on propane has to be costly. I also think he really only spends about 4 or 5 days a week out there. I would also invest in to a swing blade saw mill. A 6 inch model will set one back about 10 to 15k, Which in his area he might find a used one for 70% of the cost. Swing blade sawmill would allow him to mill up a lot more lumber for every log he cuts which would allow him to build a lot more things. He has to be making a pretty fair amount of money each month. Maybe 1k per month between donations and ad sense ( most likely only a 50 dollars per video if that which is about 4 videos per month average of about 25k views ) . Yet I do not know if he has any merch or any other source of income. patreon is around 500 per month maybe. There is enough money to invest some of it in to getting some stuff.

@@kameljoe21 - I just offer it as a suggestion. In the end, it’s his place and I keep coming back because I’m jealous!!! Hahaha. In the end, as he gets a little older, he will learn to enjoy the warmth a little more. He is still having fun and missing sleeping in his tent!! We want him to insulate the cabin???? Nuh uh,,,,, hahaha.

@@shitloveaduck I know what you mean. There is content to be made here and doing some of these things will not only bring in new viewers its content driven work. Adding a few of these things regardless as to if he uses it or not. There is a good 5 mins of content of him moving say one of those old cook stoves. Then 5 mins of clearing an area, 5 mins of milling logs for a lean too shelter. 5 mins of building a deck, 5 mins installing it and 5 mins of using it in one video. Then there is 1 min of content every week making food on it, standing around it drying gloves, shooting the shit. Each one of these ideas and many more adds to the content library. There are dozens and dozens of these small projects that are super fun and super low cost. It just adds value to his channel. He wants to live out in the woods then he can. He wants to film he can. Should he please everyone's request, no. Yet some of those requests have great ideas.

@@kameljoe21 - Why can’t everyone be as nice as you?? Thanks for the great discussion!!

😂🤣

Nice

Yes, great idea, I think that would bring more viewers.

I asked him that when he bought the propane stove? He has lots for free fuel.

@@SteveLouzon I built my cabin last year and use wood heat. It takes some skill to keep the temp BELOW 80 degrees when that fire is burning! Never cold as long as there is wood around

@@1quickdub yeah I know what you mean my wife keeps opening the windows.

he just dosent have the time / dosent seem fun to split the wood needed. with all the other projects also the initial investment of a decent stove he dosent wanna spend. he has a crappy wood stove in the lean too never see him use it.

@@1quickdub I would go with wood . A 30 lb tank refills for about $26.00 so about 34.00 for a 40lb tank.

He said in a previous video about the wood in his area not burning well in wood stoves

@@dalerogers3398thank you! I didn't see that video. That's why I was asking.

@@dalerogers3398 Wood burns you just have to dry it out. He has piles and piles of scrap that he just burns off. Lots of the mid range 2 to 4 inch stuff can be bucked up and stacked all year round and should be pretty dry by winter time. Even the rotten logs and off cuts he does will dry out pretty quick. I have already cut down a dozen trees this year and have a lot more to go. Right now I have about 5 to 8 cords stacked and drying out for splitting next fall. I should have 20 to 30 cords cut up by next year. My goal is to have 50 cords or more cut and split and ready every year. I am taking the time this year and cutting up everything I can get my hands on to get a massive stock pile going for the future years as this is a new place.

He doesn’t really want the heat for his body -more to dry out wet clothing and gear. If it gets above 40 Fahrenheit he starts sweating.

Either way he should have a good wood burning g stove and he does use it for body warming
