today we'll be cutting up logs that we'll later saw up for boards. I just got a new log arch and we'll try it out. I also found a big surprise when I cut into one particular log..........

Probably the best Ryan's Shed Plans on building a shed is hardly found ever . kzread.infoUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG And Ryan's takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
My 4yo and I love watching your videos! He has learned so much about building from you already and just informed me he wants a logging arch for Christmas! He also just said if he was there with you, he would help :)

Every 4 year-old needs his own logging arc!! Hopefully Santa can fit it down the chimney. Keep him watching this channel... and I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine young man!
That frog is so cute! ❤ adorable. So glad you saved him and he wasn’t hurt
Thanks Dave. You and your wife produce some of the best videos. They are always entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing it with us.

And son too now!! "Betting On Alaska"
Years ago I was helping my father drop a big red oak, and when it fell to coons came crawling out of it. "I didn't need that tree" he said. We both felt bad, but they didn't get hurt. I love how you care about the land and who lives on it. The place is looking great Dave.

Back in the early 90's when Home Depot first opened around here (Warwick, RI), they legit had a permanent stand outside the entrance where you could buy sausage, dogs, burgers, and canned sodas. Was there for years before it disappeared.

When I was 8 my friend and I were throwing rocks into a dirt pile, and one rock collapsed a toads' little den. Seeing this tree frog just have me the most intense reliving of that moment.
As a single female,I really enjoy listening how you explain what your aiming to get done,seeing the progress in your land your developing. I admire you and your wife of your accomplishments. Thank you for your interesting videos

Lots of useful info on this one, Dave! Also, great save on the tree frog! 🙂
That logging arch is pretty cool and using the wheel horse is a great choice. Too many folks overlook the value of a good old garden tractor.
Never to old to learn new things even if you never implement the knowledge in your everyday life. Thanks Dave. Blessings to you and the family.😊🇺🇲
Tree Frog gonna tell all his buddies about the alien he met. lol.
Every home depot needs a hotdog stand outside. Yep!
Watching a guy do light too medium duty work shouldn’t be this interesting. I think it’s your voice that keeps people coming back for more. I keep coming back and I like it.
Our Lowes used to have a truck out front for years. Selling sausage and peppers sandwiches. Made me hungry even if I had just had lunch. lol

That poor frog. I'm imagining a giant chainsaw running through my house.
Dave, I’m very happy you saved the tree frog!! I sure do appreciate you Brooke and Mick!! God bless you all (and Belle!!)
That log arch is the coolest thing I've seen. Its like your own little skidder
Missed that little guy by a coat of paint. The log trailer is sweet. Thanks for this upload.
You should come on down to the deepest heart of south Abalama and the panhandle of Florida and do a little work out in the woods and see what HOT and Humid really is... You'll flee back up north and truly enjoy working in the summertime up there ..😂
I got a log arch for my husband when our truck died!! Oh man they are amazing! Ours is a walk behind but even I can move a pretty huge trunks up to 16 feet long! The older we get we try to think smarter, not harder! Best money I ever spent!! Have a great summer!!
That kid was brilliant making that log hauler. What a back breaker saver😊
" you know what they don't sell at home depot..." I could watch a whole video of that. Great video!
I had forgotten just how enjoyable and downright soothing your videos were - many thanks
Did a whole lot of this after hurricane fiona hit last fall. Somehow it's still interesting to watch someone else doing it.
I just love following the life you live, you teach us all something useful and worthwhile in every episode. Keep up the great work. David in the UK.
Steve! Thanks for appreciation of our kiełbasa! 05:00 I gave up some time ago on similar stump... with no horsepower available.But its time is coming!
Made my day! Wasn't expecting a Dave video today ... Should have ... Because one thing we know for sure about Dave ... He's radical!!! Best story teller I never met ... Thanks for another insightful life session looking through your eyes! 'Til the weather cools, or another radical story line pops in your head ... I'll be ready to stop and listen!! Wishing you the best. And always continue to ... "B" radical!
Hi Dave! Great seeing you on. I’m sitting here watching you where you started by saying you’re going to take it easy and not work too hard. Well, it looks like a lot of work. Great job on keeping the logs for a project or two. Really enjoy your vids, thanks for taking us along! God’s blessings!❤🙏🏼
I’ve said this before but I swear Dave me and you are on the same wavelength. Its like watching my more patient older brother lol.
At 3:43, that log looks like it has a smirking smiley face 😏
Thanks for your work Dave. Your common sense approach opens an eye to get off the couch and get to work. Keep producing these great videos

Poor little tree frog. Thanks for relocating him. 😊
Something satisfying about cleaning up logs. I have to clean up hundreds left by beavers.
Your videos are better than therapy. Awesome work, music, editing, and informative. You are the man. Thanks and be well.
Oh i love what you said to this beautifull Frog not many people would have cared you and your wife are so kind and loving i respect you both and amazed what beauty you do thank you both from down under
Dave you are amazing! Thank You for rehoming that little frog! This was a great video! You and Brook are so much fun to watch! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🪵🏠
Another great video, and it didn't require perfection or a purpose or a theological idea. It was just a guy working on a project and getting things done. More please.
Nothing better than sitting back and watching someone else work! Keep it up!
Such a vibe!!! Can't enjoy the forest without All our Wild Neighbors!!!
Another great long awaited video. Thanks I love your sons website, he is very interesting to listen too. Anxious to see the progress of his cabin in the coming months.
Oooh that little 🐸 so sweet...hop on little buddy ..great bit of kit Dave 👍
Love all your videos just wish they were longer. Enjoy your content and listening to your voice is so relaxing.
I love your videos. I feel very peaceful watching them. And I always learn things.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Appreciate you for making them.
Never heard of tree frogs, learned something new..
That’s freaking crazy the frog survived!! Property is starting to look good. Great work Dave!! ❤
Your ingenuity is truly awesome. You're helping a lot of folks out there! Love that building and can't wait to see how you and Brooke fix it up!
Another good one. But we need more. It's just too good. You are the gold we've been panning for.
"Any store that sells lumber should also sell Polish sausage." Another Whipple-ism!
Sir, my sawmill was sold after I used it for 8 years, and I have learned so much from you in just this video! I have to say that you are working smart and that I worked hard. I like the way you do it better!
Thanks Dave for the nice video. Log hauler is a great idea. Can't wait till the next one.
Love the ideas you present on how to do things and make them look fairly easy. Looking forward to the next!
We lived totally off grid for 40 plus years in Vermont, loved every minute. I built an arch for 4 wheeler, just found the pictures recently, brought back a lot of memories. Probably pulled 8/10 cord of wood per year. would love to send you a photo if interested. watched a lot of your stuff, all great great information! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Nice save on the toad Dave. You radical guy. Thank you.😊
Dad once reefed on a stump with his 66 Bronco and a chain. When it finally gave up, the Bronco’s front wheels came off the ground briefly and the stump ended up on the other side of street
Great video. Echo makes an awesome saw.
This might be a bit of topic... But, can I just applaud your style of story telling for a sec?... See, as a kid I used to love hanging out with my grandfather, you could always find us up to some shenanigans out in the woods a 2 minute walk from my grandparents' house or out in the garage building something... most of my family say that I get my "mcguyver" style of life from him (our motto was always "if you don't have or can't afford it, just build/make it"), and I am darned proud of that! But he was also a really good story teller, he kind of had a way of making you feel like you were more than just a sideline spectator to the story, and sneaking in lessons and learning moments in such a way that us kids didn't even realize school was in session... He passed away 10 years ago, and I still miss him everyday (I ask myself "w.w.g.p.d?" pretty much every time I come across a problem or situation that needs a fix that I can't seem to think of) Watching your vids is a big throw back to those "good old days" for me, so thank you!
Can't get enough of your videos ,relaxing, educational and informative 👌 keep them coming
I am really enjoying this Dave! I am so looking forward to you rescuing this wee house
It's fun trying to figure out how to move big stuff around. Sometimes it's easier than you would think. Sometimes not.
The only way to learn is to do, and this man's done it. Always a great watch.
I live off grid 3700 elevation in northern California close to Oregon border. I found you after watching your sons cabin build videos. Amazing all the things you thought him I love it. I had no idea what along arch was until today. I love learning all these new techniques and equipment you have shown me just in the few days of me checking your channel out.
Have found this project really interesting and, as and others have said, watching you at work is a real pleasure. Can't wait to see progress!
This is truly a great channel. It has the relaxed music combined with calm narration. There’s a meditative quality to it. I dream of a life like this so it really awesome and calming to watch and learn from. Thank you sir for your honest work both on your property and on the channel. 💪🏼💪🏼
Hard work and a little common sense! Will get you everything you need in life!!! 🇺🇲💯✌
Weird as it may sound this video is giving me comfort. A friend is on life support which will be switched off tomorrow. I say goodbye to her today. It’s pretty rough. Watching your videos (and Brookes) are always enjoyable to me so this helps. ~tall32guy

That arch is so cool!! Plenty of woodcutter dudes would love to have that! Now, I'm just a housewife but I imagine. Haha!!
I definitely agree about working in the cooler months . It's coming along 👍
The use of the Logging Arch reminded me of my pipe fitting days. The Sumner company made a similar product called a Grasshopper that was used to move lengths of pipe around a job site by hand. A very simple and labor saving device.
Loved that logging arch and the tree frog!
Hey Dave love the tree Arch, epic save on a tree frog. Glad to see you folks again. God bless
So looking forward to your next video of the abandoned cabin. Can't wait to see what you and Brooke do to it. It will be beautiful!!!
I appreciate all that you do and share! It’s so nice to see men being men again 😊
Didnt know about the existence of tree frogs, love the little guy
"any store that sells lumber should also sell polish sausage". Truer words have never been spoken good sir.
Dave, have to say i could watch your videos allll day, the knowledge and relaxing way you speak and your love of the outside and nature is so wonderful. i follow you, your wife and now your son, and all are good souls.
I love your reverence for even the smallest of god's creatures. I am the same mowing the lawn, constantly stopping to let lizards get out of the way. Takes twice as long but it's worth it!
Dave bro.have a nice bless summer,you an wife..hugs.lovily video,s stay strong out there..
What would we do without the Whipples? I watch four of them now. 😃 Bunnings ( like home depot) usually has a sausage sizzle on in the parking lot here. It’s awesome! Shop for goodies and have a sausage or two while you’re doing it!
Another great video...I could watch these for hours - and I have!
Now we all need a mobile log arch.
I also have an Echo saw. It’s been excellent. Their weed eaters are great too.
your videos are always well worth watching.
My dad and his brothers used to cut firewood in the wintertime. I think they used a buzz saw that was powered off a belt attached to the output shaft belt pulley on the tractor. That was probably back in the 1940's. My grandfather made the comment that on one snowy day he had to go but he was out in the field. His impromptu tp was a snowball. He said it was cold but it did a great job at getting him clean
Are Boss is an echo dealer! He’s used em all and loves the Echo! Great video Dave
I was glad to find a new video of yours. Love to watch these . I recently watched Brooks new one. See you both soon. Thanks
Hello Dave good you safe froggy 🐸 nice to see you take care.
I loved the video! saving the tree frog was quite the surprise! wow.....Your new log arch is a great help--very cool. Excited to see what comes next for the cabin!
We have a tool like that in the ironworker industry it's called a grasshopper. Instead of having to crank at the end and a hitch it has a handle but it has changed throughout the whole shaft. It can't pick up from a 200 lb beam up to 10,000 lb beam from 8 ft long to 30 ft long. It's a great piece of equipment to have on a job site when you're moving iron around
Those arches really make a hard job easier. So much better than dragging the log across the dirt and mud
Another enjoyable video 😍. Thanks for sharing this with me ❤❤❤. Watched the video with your wife and son. Wonderful 👍👍. I subscribed to your son's channel and now have all 3 of your family video 😍😁 to enjoy. Hello from Indiana USA and this 62 year old lady.
A log arch is such a useful device. I was using my own, new arch to shift some larch tree butts out to my sawmill. It would have been impossible without the arch. One tip: the sling chain on mine came with a thin metal rod at one end (a bit like a knitting needle, but stronger) it can be pushed underneath a log that is on the ground and retrieved at the other side to make the loop around the log. Saves having to lift the log up and maybe straining your back. Yes, summer is too hot for this work...time to chill and enjoy your land.
That was fun. I'll be here for the next one. See ya, Dave.
Thanks Dave. I wouldn't mind if you posted more videos.
