Lucky deer with a waiter to serve their meals.😊 The truck sitting so high up on its wheels makes it look like one of those water bugs that skakes across the surface of a pond.

I remember leaving a comment several years ago that what you were really going to need was a skidsteer and snowblower combination 😀 I’m glad you’re finding it so useful.

It makes our day to see old fashioned values still alive today: worship with family and dressing for it especially with a neck tie! Thank you!🙏

My Dad always loved his snowblower! When he passed away it was left to my brother.

Try blowing the snow onto the downhill side as much as possible. When it melts it doesn’t run through the road or the yard.

Nice to come home from a great church day, to see a video of you guys, headed to church!! God bless all yall!

Thanks for the video. Enjoy what's left of your Sunday!

I know someone has probably already mentioned this to you; I would recommend you wearing a set of construction knee pads when down on that concrete floor. As a mechanic (about your age) your knees and back will thank you. Great video.

Always amazed at how much modification to a vehicle you guys are allowed to do over there! Here in UK, the car insurer I've been with for 20 years refused to renew my insurance because of a raised air intake! Blanket refusal to consider any changes from the original factory specification. I eventually managed to find another insurer, but it shows the difference in approach on this side of the pond.

I enjoyed “hanging” with you today! We’re on the TX-OK border. No snow. Just single digit temperatures. I’m glad you have the snow. 🥶Stay warm!

Hello, I started watching Red Poppy Ranch a few months ago because my husband thought I would like it. I started watching the older videos of when you first bought the property, watched them all in order until i caught up to now. I truly am amazed at all you and your family have accomplished. We enjoy all you videos even the ones where you are working on the different vehicles. Our son is 47 today and our daughter is 45. They would love to be living more remote, but not quite the time yet. Keep up the good work. 🙂

Also take a look at Ambition Strikes and what Riley built to move snow. Ingenious!

Very much enjoy your Sunday videos. Look forward to them to start my week. Stay safe and God bless.

Can’t believe you haven’t got yourself a drill press . Or even a small Bridgeport Milling machine. I know it’s money and a serious investment. But you can do so much with a half decent machine . Nice to see that the Deer seem happy enough in their new home . Thanks for sharing . Mart in the uk x

The deer look healthier than they did at their other home, might just be summer vs winter weight or the winter coat.

Thanks for the video Heath.

I love what you are doing around and on your place. Not only doing, but also, first of all, thinking ahead! And it shows! And I just keep on smiling!!

Love the truck be blessed and stay safe

Heath the wide angle view that the drone offers of the landscapes of the properties around your land is beautiful. Or at least that is my view. I may change my mind if I had to battle the road elements. I just keep thinking that the others who lived on your land before you and your lovely family settled in just didn't work hard enough or wanted the property bad enough to make it work. I pray that this property will continue to be a blessing for your family for many generations!

Enjoyed watching and listening to you! Thanks for sharing!

Liked seeing the Cabin. When you start talking Truck it goes completely over my head but when you put the bed of the truck on, I grinned like I had accomplished something 🤣🥰

Studded snow tires most people have not heard of them but they are a true game changer for the winter season.. I run them they have saved my life

That Skid Steer & Snowblower make short work of snow clearing. The drone shots are amazing. The place looks magical in the snow. Love the deer🦌 They are becoming more accustom to you now🦌 Take care & stay safe.☃️🥶😉👍🏻

as always for so many years now I so enjoy your productions of your life living where you live Bless everyone.

Yes on the bobcat and snow blower, may be slower then a plow But you only have to move it once. When you go to the machine shop let them know you are looking for a Drill press, maybe a Johansson radial arm or a Industrial gang drill table press. a Radial arm is a nice machine jest because you you can move the drill to where you need it. and they have a nice big table to work on. Take care and be warm .

I just love your weekly video's!! Wished you did more, or longer ones!! Thanks for all you do!! Wished all men were as resourseful as yourself!!

You are a hard-working and humble family. Greetings from Mozambique 🇲🇿.

Keith I really enjoy watching you battle winter. You’re a trooper sir! Getting the Bobcat with the snow thrower attachment is totally what you need up there on that mountain. Keep making great videos!

Heath for President!! Id vote for you judt because youre an old Ford guy...lol 😂😅 And, an olf fashioned get er dun kind a guy, several times. Love ya'll ❤️ Stay safe and warm😊

Love watching your work, the landscape is so pretty this time of year. I think you should consider a milling machine for all the machine work you do, but with your skills you could make anything work. Thanks for all the videos for us to watch.

You had 27 degrees. On Saturday in northwest South Dakota, we had a HIGH of minus 17 degrees with a wind chill of minus 60.

Truck is moving along and lookin good. Restoring America one bolt at a time. 🇺🇸👍🏻

From Texas, watching your video adventure. We are in the teens temp wise but, no snow. Enjoy what you share with all of us. Stay safe my brother. Love you and your family. Blessings in Jesus' Mighty Name for health, safety, strength, wisdom, peace, harmony and success. Keep the videos coming and have a most successful 2024. ☝️🙏🙌💪🇺🇸❤️🎯🤠☕

Storm starting here at midnight. Expecting 8inches of snow. We are in the very western end of Virginia. Love your videos. Stay safe and warm..

Heath- I needed to cut a trail through some very rough, thick 10 yr old cut over (Louisiana). I attached some flagging engineers tape to my drone and literally flew the path I wanted to blaze, allowing the tape to float down and thus illuminate my proposed trail. Just a thought.

Now, this is a video I can watch.

Heath, I’ve been critical over the years and, I’ve even questioned your sanity at times, but you have single handedly taken a side of a mountain and turned it into a beautiful home and life for your family. There’s not a very large percentage of guys that could have done what you’ve accomplished, especially going out and working outside in the dead of winter everyday, year after year. You should be extremely proud of what you’ve accomplished and thank God everyday that you have the income stream, health, and a wife that allows you to do something that you clearly very much enjoy!

Busy, busy. Hang in there Heath. Take care

Keep hustling!!

@11:43 There is a giant R in the side of that mountain in the snow 😁👍🏼. Whether that’s by Nature or By design.... I’m Saying if God made it then Red Poppy Ranch couldn’t have nene put in a better place ! 😉

I came to a point in my life(about 30 years ago) where I realized the importance of having the right tool for the job. But I also appreciate your creativity in using what you have to get the job done. Thanks for sharing and stay warm. Russ from NW Oregon

Cedar rocks! 👍💫

Enjoyed and inspired. Thanks !

Heated shop, snow blower, good equipment, exotic deer, beautiful land. What else could a man want? You also have a beautiful family. Yoy have worked hard for it all, enjoy yourself, you deserve it all. Amazing how far you have come. Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy your story. Be safe.

You make my Sundays Heath. Your snow removal gear should add a few years back to your life.😊

Looking forward to the back of the property explorations and the likely cabin there!

nice part about having the blade and the snow blower is that you can windrow the snow into the center, or off to the side and then snowblow the snow away

I had a 72 f250 Camper Special, and when you removed the brake roter when I had to replace the brakes, the shop ordered parts for a F250 and they had to get a larger ones I think they were 11 inch rotors. The parts we upsides for the Camper Special pickups. Might possibly be a source for parts. Liking the build. Stay safe during the winter.

We got 15” last light and everything has been sloppy. I’m in farm land, so it’s solved quickly, but I’ve got to feed and water my chickens, and my wife and I enjoy that. We love living in the mountain farmlands, and that means doing things that others will rarely do. I almost wish we had fallow deer!!!!!

Heath the rolling frame that you have from under the old ford. Should be turned into a log sled to get the logs off the mountain side. Just add a long pull bar off the front and then tie it too the skid steer

"20 degrees and cooling", hopefully you didn't get the -28 we saw in central Idaho this last week in the lull between storms there. Just took that one night of open skies!

Oh… I can hardly wait ,to see the little cabin in a better place .. and trails cut !!!! Your older kids & wife are going to love you even more ! Thanks for another great episodes.. RPR 💚the green truck is the best yet !

I generally like a blower over a blade, snow blowers rule 👊 I so love seeing your Fallow Deer!

Awesome stuff Heath! 😃👍🏼👊🏼

Heath, I’m curious. You’re right about the plow moving more snow faster. What I do is plow and come back and blow to keep width as open as possible. It would mean more wear and tear on blower but spring melt could be controlled or directed away from the road a bit. Thoughts?

I could watch hrs of the cabin's view of the snowblower.

Now you can make a nice door way for the shops second flor :)

HEY! Hello Red Poppy and thumbs UP!!

I too like tinker and with trucks and such. I'm a Toyota fan i'd like third Gen. 4 runners and second Gen. Tacoma's. As you can tell by my thumbnail. They're fun to work on.

Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 👍👍👍👍

Hey Heath you always make things better and thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

For once the weather down here in Arkansas is similar to what's going on up there. Snow, 15 degrees. One of the extremely rare occasions when a snowplow on my Jeep would come in handy. (Not that there's anywhere to go right now. The whole city shuts down when it snows here.)

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Whatever happened to that Nifty wood stove you wanted to install in the shop?

Great video! Everything looks GREAT with the snowblower. I like the way it moves the snow and blows it in a very clean thin blanket on top of the snow next to the road. It really gives it a pristine look!

Man that stach is coming in strong!

Now it's...Boom!, the snow is all cleaned up and on to the next thing! Plus, the spring thaw will mean less water on the road!

Great video!! Winter this year is absolutely beautiful!! ~Ola

If you blow all of your snow down hill, your thaw will be a lot less stressful.

Your mechanical skills are totally amazing. Do you even realize what those skills will be worth when SHTF all over? You all have the skills to survive when the worst is upon us. Love your channel, even tho I don't understand most of the rebuilding you do! LOL! Ya'll be safe. It's 5* here in N Central Texas, with a light dusting of snow.

You dont need a seatbelt if you're wearing a Colin Furze safety tie.

Your Snow Blower is a game changer Heath . I hope it works for you years to come . Between your snow blower and Marcs that road should never be full of snow. I hope the blizzard doesn't give you to much snow . Im counting the days to spring so i can garden again. I hate the winter. So cold God Bless

Really getting your snow game nailed

Cedar is a Rock Star!!

MY FAVORITE IDAHO OFF GRID RU-vid FAMILY ! 😁👍🏼 Praying you guys stay warm and safe in these bad storms! Ain’t no global warming nationwide that I can see 😂👍🏼

I saw the mounting of the sled and my mind went ‘shear force’. With that tought and a smile I watched the rest of the vid.

Loving the moustache heath 👍

Where I am in NC, we haven't seen snow in about 800 days. I like it like that. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

That snow blower is doing a great job!

How often do you sit back in awe of the home you've created with your own two hands?

I hope your neighbors give you tips/gifts/etc. for plowing their road for them.

WOW that looks dawm cold !!!!

I’ve a drill press that needs a little work. You can have it if you want to come to Indiana.

Hey Heath, I love your channel partner, thanks for the great content. Also the deer are awesome! Just a thought, you should pick up a heater for that deer water bowl.. We had 11 Llamas, 23 Pygmy goats, a Jack, and Jenny, 8 Horses, 30 Dogs, and 100 Birds of about 6 or 8 different types!! We used a mid or even small watering trough. And used a water trough heater to keep it from freezing! Just a thought my friend. Take it easy brother.

It’s -2 here with twenty to thirty mph winds so wind chill around -20. No snow here in south central Kansas.

I think it’s justified to get one more skid steere so u don’t have to switch between plow and snow blower lol

Stay warm and safe. Sending love from uk

Hard work and faith takes a person along way. Keep up the good work!

Nice “change-if-pace with the “funky , quirky new MUSIC!!🤗😎🥰

Put a cover over the deer feeder. Movable.

Every season RPR rocks, the beauty is incredible

We just had a two day blizzard here in SW Minnesota. Only a couple inches, but 50+ mph winds. Couldn’t see the township road a hundred yards away. 4+ foot drifts that blew in like concrete. So hard a 10 foot wide blower on a 25 ton tracked tractor just went over them. Sucks to say the least! Love the progress on your ford, lucky you to find another one!😊

You should grab a couple old snowboards off marketplace and screw them to the bottom of that thing.

The hard work is paying off . I'm from Kidapawan Philippines a retired American. I built my house here. I hope you get a good president. Take care.

I've been watching from the beginning. I must say you've come a long way. Does anybody help you with the plowing or do you do it all by yourself? And if so, do the other people that live down that road help pitching for gas, it must cost a lots gas money to plow that long road you'd live on.

Hi from England God bless you all.

Thanks again for your time making the video watching from Reno NV

The nice thing about a snow blower is that it doesn't cause all the snow to pile up into one compacted bunch right on the edge of the road, but spreads out a little bit and stays powdery. That means that it'll both melt a lot quicker and shouldn't turn into as goopy of a mess when it does. It also is very satisfying to see the snow seemingly disappear

Love to watch your videos every Sunday! Beautiful Winter scenes for those of us in the South. Reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. 🙂 Have you ever commented on how much wood (weight or chords) and how much Propane or Natural gas you use in the Winter for heating, on average per day? Curious as to how long those Gas tanks and that wood pile lasts during your Winter months. Cheers and good luck with your Fallow Deer! See you on tomorrow's presentation.
