The Little Iron Horse Goes Logging
Ойын-сауық
Julia gets our Canadian horse Mec into the harness and the little iron horse goes logging. If you get a chance, research the Canadian horse a bit and discover why they are known as the little iron horse. They can do it all, and Julia finally gets the opportunity to prove that our Canadians can haul firewood logs.
We don't have the right harness yet but this settles it, horse logging has moved way up on our project list. The advantage goes to the horse when their are no roads for equipment or a truck to use. Given that we are surrounded by forest, horse logging will be a very fun, active way to get a few milling logs and fill our woodshed.

He's so fat and out of shape......I wasn't sure who she was talking about at first.
Every video on the internet should start with Rose's smile. The world would be a better place!

May God protect this family from the evil's eye..amin
This sure brought back good memories. My grandmother farmed 80 acres with one horse named Queenie. Queenie pulled the plow in the spring, the sythe in the fall and hauled logs in the winter. Queenie could be hitched to the draw chains on a log in the bush, then told to go home on her own. My grandmother would keep an eye out for Queenie, go out of the farmhouse, unhitch the log then send the horse back on her own. That horse was what kept food on the table and a fire in the old cookstove.
Hahaha.. I just noticed there is a piece of glass separating the two of them while they sit and narrate the video! Hahah! You guys are hilarious.

Yea, last couple vids have been like that because of covid19.
Rember... when you were a child, and your parents told you we are going to granny's house. That is how it feels when I get a new video from the world's best family, Gridlessness! I want to gift all the girls with a nugget of knowledge... Texas cowboy science says; Smooth is strong... Rigging breaks on a jerk, ( that's why people are a jerk when they do wrong things), slowly ease into the pull intensify the energy so points of stress are not over-loaded by inertia, and not actual load. Breaking, catastrophically, has potential to harm equipment, people, and feelings. ( Yea, I saw how Juilia looked when the rig broke the second time ) Don't get me wrong, I would rather have these 5 kittens than 5 burly Bobs for my logging needs anytime, cuz these girls have heart!. Thank you for sharing during these shut-in times. Agappe love, Richard.

Your girls work harder than a football team, and they are getting the best education any parent can pass along. Love the fact you can laugh at yourself, be dad when need be and a friend when required. These girls think out of he box and nothing is to hard and everything CAN be achieved. WELL DONE TO YOU BOTH.
Learning skills like harness maintenance and making would be a useful skill in many different odd things. Letting your girls go through the process of repair, replacement and even remaking an entire harness setup is good practice.
You ARE a romantic...about Rose, your girls, horses, the spring, the land, the mountain goat's fur...wonderful to have a passion about your life!!
Like Jeff mentioned that harness is for driving a wheeled vehicle. Pulling harness has a triple thick tug and a neck collar. Not that you can’t use the driving harness,you just have to take it easy as you found out. I started just like Julia with a light harness and had the same setbacks. Keep at it anything that is done with horses is worth it.
You guys have kinda natural sense of humor just cool and clean way of doin it, and of course a lovely family and friends.
Beautiful talented ladies, horseys, piggies, Dave and a crushed head!!! Who could ask for more? My life is now complete. I am in ecstasy.
You all are teaching thouse girls so much. (Sometimes it looks like they are teaching all of you 😁). We owe a lot to the horse we would never have thrived without them.
I'm at the edge of my seat so excited watching this amazing young talented girl taking charge and her awesome Family right there with her every single one of you plus you get to laugh so much lol what else does a man need thanks for being great parents Thumbs up my friends
I cant say enough how much i enjoy your family. How you get every one involved in every thing that needs to be done. It may be work but you have fun doing it. You and Rose dont shut down the kids dreams you help them grow them. Just awesome.
The glass between Jeff & Dave was a nice touch.😆 Those girls are getting the best life. It is great to see this. This channel continues to grow.👍
I admire this whole crew, girls, you have done a fabulous job raising Jeff and Rose!!! Seriously, you are a great crew, all with a great deal of talent and responsibility!! You seem to have a great life. God bless.
I just found your channel yesterday. I'm very impressed by your daughters abilities.
I envy your life. I love how you raise your girls and how they are willing to try anything. Your videos are inspiring.
I was raised in the city I'm 50 years old now but after looking at your videos I wish that I would have been raised off the grid and if I ever come into a lump sum of money I will go off the grid I love your life
I am Sarah n Julia biggest fan. I think they both most similar to each other among the 5 girls. The face, the smile, the skill, the focus and hardwork. Its hard to top them
Julia is so sweet absolutely adorable, I’ve been married nine yrs unfortunately I can’t have children only through IVF because I had cancer, if we do ever have children I hope they’re just like yours beautifully rounded and thoughtful, you’re truly blessed to have such an amazing family they make me proud and I’m just a new viewer (Dan Hurd videos) from across the planet in Australia 🇦🇺 so I can’t imagine how you feel about them they’re gorgeous all of them even 🌹

Thank you for your kind comment. Life has its ups and downs and I'm hoping that you have a run of "ups". Blessings to you and yours today!
I like to watch video clips of you all from Thailand. 😁😁
So nice of Rose to encourage Jeff by revealing a nice set of jackets!😉
I really enjoy your videos Watching from Philippines🇵🇭
first time come cross your video this is the way our parents bring us up we do things side by side with our parents on the village, God bless your family.
Good job girls...👍👍 Still watching from Philippines..😷😷
Im a soooooo proud of you two and how you are raising your fam. Those girls are extremely lucky to have you and you . Keep on lovin.
Your videos are amazing and fun. You have a wonderful family! Thank you for taking the time to share your lives. This is way better then watching "Little House on the Prairie" reruns!

Believe the girls can do just about anything and everything under the sun while having a boat load of fun
God!! I cannot go to sleep without watching your video(s).
The moment I seen the plexiglass between you two I couldn't stop laughing. Absolutely the funniest thing I've seen on your channel. I love it.
I was watching your video again to see how you could have kept the harness fro snapping. I remember when I used to go to pony pulls as a teen and the driver was always able to ease the team into the load. Most of the time you had your horse snap the load like you would if you were getting a vehicle unstuck. Just a thought Julia. 😎👍👍⛄🐎🇺🇸
I used to say those girls have the best dad....but man that dad has the best girls ...mom u surely are called Blessed. very proverb 31 gal!!! love u guys
Almost something new in each new video.....and I've loved each and every one! Thank you wonderful family!!!!!! and Dave!
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos. I like the way you tied the head horse.
I hate it when these video are over. I want more. Love this family
I like this family video,its inspiration to other family,happy family,👋 from malaysia.
You should have Dave make a sled for skidding logs behind the horse!
master craftsman Dave your unquestionable talent is needed in fabricating a logging sled for the girls to use in conjunction with the hossy
Got to give my usual shout out to Dave for being a part of the video... And praise to the family for continuing to bring wholesome family content
Y'all are an amazing family. Such a joy to watch. Having fun no matter the project. Thanks for sharing . Stay safe up there! 😎👍👍🇺🇸
GOOD MORNING FAMILY 👍👏👏💚🎼🎶
A sleigh to tow and ride. Thanks for another great video by my favorite Canadian family.
Your girls are AMAZING. If you're doing one thing right in life, it's raising them the way you are.
Julia is very gifted and awesome with the leather work 👍
Thanks for the video. MMmmm Bacon on the hoof. Good work on the leather and the use of the horse. 100 plus years ago the horse was a great tool in the bush. Nice to see your family work together.
When you can make work fun it's not really work. You have a great family. You need it you make it.nice work 👍
More hunting videos, please!! Watching the girls hunting was great; the black bear video with your wife was excellent.
Jeff, you cut down trees exactly the same way I do! I logged a bunch of my property on my own. Cut down a LOT of trees. Always fell exactly where I wanted them to. The "professionals' all tell me that is not the right way. Works for me. And makes more sens to me than the way they say to do it.
Oh man watching ur channel continuously for long literally is about to spoil my on grid life 😌
I just found your channel a week ago with the root cellar. I can not get enough yall. Greetings from Ohio. Your family warms my heart. God Bless yall.

Nice to see Dave - great social distance ;)
i like this family, teamwork and very happy
Another great video. Great to see the pony out and working. Must love the action and attention.
All I got to say is. BEST FAMILY EVER...... Love your videos.
That is one cool horse, not minding the sound of the log behind him!
Julia, you and your horse, are awesome. I like laurel and Hardy 'puttin their 5 cents' on the situation. Nah, all of You are awesome..
i fell so sorry for her she worked so hard and to have it break on her, she is a hard worker. god bless.
Who needs horse power when you have GIRL POWER! And Jeff already has a harness ring in his ear so you can just hook him right up... wouldn't that make a great video: Jeff pulls 300 pound log with just one ear! I do believe that Julia will be completely remaking that harness with all new leather since she has the talent to do it, and while she's at it she can make a four girl team harness in case you ever need to move the house or something! Always love spending some Saturday morning with you. You guys are super!!
This family should have their own tv show. They’re great and the girls getting stuck in, in all aspects should be inspiring for the younger generation
Great family We love you😄✌️✌️✌️✌️
Love this channel btw...from newfoundland
hey hello to France, the country who is lock down!!!!! yours girls grow up verry fast!!! I love yours familly!!! great!!! see you soon!! ( i tried to write inglish but..... !!!!
This is by far my favorite content provider on KZread. I don't know how you do not have 1,000,000+ followers!!
I think you should get shirts made that say, "Do you even log, bro?" Also, I love the plexi separating Dave and Jeff. That was an especially nice touch! Love seeing all the different skills the girls are developing and how you all work together to get stuff done.

Thanks for the new chapter 😊 i enjoy it,:)
Wow! I wish you lived a little closer, I have a shed full of horse tack including at least 2 sets of complete harness that you could use. Since that buggy harness is way too light, you could try using a cinch from your saddle as a breast collar and use light chain or climbing rope for tugs, proper tugs for logging should be about 4 inches wide and 4 layers of heavy leather thick.
Those girls need to get to making more spoons! They could sell every one they made I'm sure. I would have taken a maple and also the cherry coffee! Beautiful!!!
if you going to do much heavy work you will need collar, hames and chain traces. probaly should also add breaching and back straps.
Poor Julia, the girl who know evrything ! a true young whomen!!!
Really love your family and sarah your smile. Sorry im late for 8hrs watching it
You guys are just awesome...pure awesone, best family...when you post videos it just brighten my day...
Really enjoy watching your videos. Your girls are truly gifted. You are a lucky man.
Elastic tow ropes, keep the same harness, reduce the initial load spike, and transfer the load slowly, keeping the gear and tackle in tack....just a thought. or a whole new harness......either or, a new harness is probably cheaper and more useful anyway. Cheers guy, and girls for awesome videos! Quality over quantity!
Mec is a great name . Does it stand for something? Love to watch all you guys. What a great family.
Big fun, Dave carries your commentary, I love it.
The best vlog and channel that I ever subscribe so far for me, eagerly waiting to see every new video...Guys, please do upload more often, your family is a kinda medicine to me.worth watching every movement that you made. Much love
Duh, took me till 12 mins into the video to notice the screen between you two jokers!!!Awesome!!! Another great video, thanks to all of you. cheers
Glad no one got hurt! Love your videos!
Teamwork. You guys got it. And have fun doing it. ❤️❤️❤️
Have your girls look up logging sleds, it will reduce drag and lighten the load for the horse. I would think two straps wrapped in cloth might be good for a less spendy harness.
I love the Canadian horse, spent many years with them. Such wonderful horses.
Lovely family Children are working so hard
You guys are Amazing.. I just enjoying watching.. Keep it up...
I love team work, girls are powerful, smart, and full of ideas great family
I love Watching your work with your girls You do such a great job And you're a real good father I surely miss my horse
fantastic horse, it did not even jump after the leather ripped!!!
Omg at 16:00 the log has a natural heart shape in it and then you chopped it!! 🙉
Love this family amd their lifestyle, keep doing more videos, you are exceptional and inspire us a lot. I am dreaming a lifestyle in the future atleast close to yours.🤩😁
