"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

Anchoring the winch to another tree and not the tractor. That would work great for pulling them upon the landing. Then you can move them around with the tractor.

Ok, Crazy IDEA that only you would try. Build an holder for the winch to fit the front forks, then you can have the back hitch attached to an anchor point as it is tied the the frame and the frame is all steel so it shouldn't break....

My family used to do Heavy Horse logging here in England. Exact same process you’re doing with the small tractor and long winch to avoid destroying the forest, but using big horses instead of the machinery. Minimal destruction, no noise, no welding. Perhaps that’d be an exciting new development for your homestead? 😊

@waitingonmarc
@waitingonmarc 24 дня назад
Build a heavy duty offroad trailer to mount the wench on and then tow the trailer with the tractor to your destination and then anchor the trailer. The failure points would only be the anchor point, the wench and wench mount if tied together correctly. You could tow the trailer with a car or ATV as well and you could still use the vehicle as an anchor point but it would be better to use a fixed point.

Good video Kevin! That's some winch! The brackets you made for it really worked well. The Wench definitely does a good job! The stump that wouldn't come out, that thing was really rooted it will be a pain getting it out but definitely a good try! Was good to see Don out their with you, hope he's doing well. Looking forward to your next one! By the way good job on the fishing challenge!

What's up Kevin? Watching from New Mexico, USA, of all places lol. Been watching for awhile now, enjoy your videos, never commented before, but.... Ive got an idea for the tractor/winch situation. What if you designed something of substantial weight that has some kind of ground anchor/drag, that you could use with the forks on the front of your tractor. It would give you some added weight and ground contact, enough to help you winch heavier objects without the risk of pulling the tractor apart. Just a thought. Have a good one man! Thanks for the cool videos!

I have receivers on the back, and front of the trucks, and on the front of my flatbed trailer for hauling. They definitely have more than one purpose in life. I wouldnt worry about pulling that Kubota apart, with the right weld job, I'd anchor it to the Empire State Building...lol 😂😅 Love what you're doing 😊

@frankensteinracing3520 24 дня назад
What you really need is a three pint linkage on the back of the tractor and the winch mounted on that with a wedge that you can lower. Plus it puts pressure on more points of the tractor. And will help eliminate the tractor as much and allow some height control on the winch as well.

That wrench you were using (the one with the pointed end) is what I was told is called a spud wrench. When you were assembling the root cellar or the sauna , you used a similar pointed tool that you and Don dubbed a hole alignment punch. I was going to write in (at that time) that I was told that was called a spud. So I finally got around to telling you that. Keep up the good work Kevin.
