Hey Mate ,That’s life living in the Tropics. Where does your water in the Creek end up. In the Herbert? 🤔How do you find the Husky chainsaw v the Stihl. Had a Husky when living in Mount Isa and it couldn’t cope with the heat. Overheated 🥵 three times and seized. Got rid of it and got a Stihl and haven’t looked back 👍😁

Our creek goes into the Wild River and that goes into the Milstream. I'd say I prefer the Stihl (I have three ;) My Husky hasn't overheated but it has given me a little trouble tuning it. The Stihl saws just keep powering through with the normal basic maintenance. Rock Solid.@@johnjordan4647

Hey Scott, I’m really loving following your off-grid journey, it’s been inspirational. One tip I can share re. the chainsaw mill (and I’m not trying to teach you how to suck eggs), if you attach a small hand winch to the frame of the mill, it takes a whole lot of effort out of each cut. You just anchor it to a star picket or a tree about a foot out from the end of the log and slowly wind it in. Any reduction of physical labour in your humid climate would help, I’m guessing.

@ScottTurnerformeindustrious

The winch is a good idea. Working at ground level is not much fun either so anything to make it easier is welcome. Thanks for your advise!

Since I live in New Hampshire and have never seen a kangaroo in the wild, do you have to be careful at all being around them - I mean they all seemed relaxed in the video, but can they get aggressive towards humans?

I live just down the hill from you in Port Douglas, and one of our neighbours has recorded over 4m of rain since Jasper. Quite phenomenal. My wife and I are in a similar position to you, being mere months away from having an empty nest and with one daughter at Uni in Brissy already, I’ve done the run to help her move too. I know how long that drive is. Not ideal to do in one hit, that’s for sure. I really felt for you slabbing that timber. It’s bloody hot and extremely muggy… looks fantastic too!

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious 😂😂 ear plugs must be your friends 🤭🍻

Always good to see how you guys are doing and glad you made it thru all that rain. I'm curious to know if you kept any of your metal working equipment your mill/drill, lathe etc. Always enjoyed all your projects. Good luck in the new year and thanks for the update.

Thanks Jim! YesI kept all my metalwork gear and I hope to get back into projects soon.

A 35% rent increase? 😮 Rent here has skyrocketed with the home prices but year over year rent can only increase a fraction of that. Certainly makes my happy that my mortgage is paid and only have monthly bills and property tax now but it’s nearly impossible for my daughters to enter the housing market.

Our youngest was staying at Unilodge in Southbank (Brisbane) right near the Universities. They have been having rent increases year on year (Rented the same apartment for our son for a total of 4 years). This year wanted a 43% increase, so we left. It's nuts.
