I grew up in a log house in the woods and wanted my family to enjoy a similar lifestyle. We built our log house on 7 acres in 2016 and have been busy ever since turning it into our own paradise in the woods. We are always busy with outdoor projects and can hopefully provide some knowledge or ideas for our viewers. If you love the outdoors, diy projects, gardening, tractors, UTV's, firewood, chainsaws, or log home maintenance we think you will enjoy our channel.

When the Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech first came out I set one up near a home security camera so I could count how many mosquitoes went into those holes each day (to control mosquitoes there would need to be thousands). I recorded footage 24/7 for over a week and then looked through it. Turns out that not a single mosquito showed up. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever seen a mosquito near one of these devices. Not even the company has evidence (pics or video) of a mosquito near one of its tubes when the tubes are deployed outside ... which is suspicious. I later learned that Spartan Mosquito did some testing on the CO2 output and concluded they didn't produce enough to be attractive to mosquitoes. Anyway, this is a pretty garden variety scam. Company has been sued for fraud.
Thanks for the info. Guess my spraying is pretty effective!
@@cabinviewventures Yes, bifenthrin is extremely effective.
New subscriber here. I’m in Michigan. Love your videos and lifestyle. Been watching these sort of videos for years and just came across your channel. I also sell bundle firewood and always looking for ideas. Looking forward to watching your upcoming videos.
Thanks for subscribing! My favorite thing about KZread is the amount of inspiration and ideas you can get.
I’m thinking about upgrading, but my shovel will need to work for now.
Thank you! Maybe order one now for myself. Appreciate the info! Nice video.
Thanks! You will not be disappointed.
Looking forward to the new equipment! And i agree with you. New leadership is absolutely needed! Sending Iran money too is ridiculous! Funding the enemy. I hope we can correct the direction we have been headed
Wow I didn’t hear about the Iran money. Let’s just invite all the bad guys here for a showdown, wait we are already doing that also.
I really like that truck and may replace my 2014 Tundra with it, but yes, the stupid, pussy, push button. tail gate is for guys who don't like trucks anyway... WTF over!
And most manufacturers are using it, crazy.
Thanks for the vid. What size bar are you running on the 261?
Thanks! 20” on the 261
I heard the same thing about the money being sent to Afghanistan. I believe Shawn Ryan discussed it in one of his more recent interviews on his KZread channel. It is absolutely infuriating. Thank you for talking about it! And I agree, this country needs a drastic change in the direction it is heading. Personally I feel that the election in November could make or break this country. I hope and pray that more Americans are waking up to the truth and that this country gets back on the right track.
I love the Shawn Ryan Show! Thank God there are people like him willing to talk about these issues and it seems like others are following suit. Makes you wonder how we can just ignore these major issues.
Our country definitely needs new leadership. Go Trump!
Absolutely!
Can you open your tailgate while the cover is closed/down?
Yes you can open and close the tailgate. It’s a nice tight fit.
Nice truck
Thanks 👍
I've had mine since 2021. It's spring loaded so after the tailgate has been used and broken in, it falls much faster. Mine's down in less than a half second. You have something to look forward to. :)
Thanks for the good news!
@@cabinviewventures One more thing. Watch your oil levels. Every engine is probably different, but my truck was burning about a quart per 1000 miles pulling my RV. I change my oil and filter every 5k. At 25,000 miles I changed oil brands to Royal Purple. It's oil engineered for higher performance engines. The 6.6 gas is a high perfromance engine in many ways. I drove over a thousand miles just 3 weeks ago, pulling my RV and didn't have to add a drop of oil. I'll continue to keep an eye on that, but thought you'd like to know.
Thanks, I will keep an eye on it.
I thought of another question, and you seem so informed I thought I'd ask you. I heard one person say that in order to help keep the heat down inside the bed in the heat of a hot summer when the Diamondback HD is closed most of the time, they put some kind of silver insulation up high on the underside of the bedcover, I assume maybe to fill the spaces between the horizontal reinforcements. Unfortunately, he didn't say specifically how well it worked. Do you have any experience with this, or any thoughts about it? I was thinking, if I put some decent insulation between all the horizontal cross supports on the inside of the cover, thick enough to fill the spaces, I could still mount things to the cross supports on the underside of the bedcover if I chose to. Thanks. It's such a good looking and useful cover, but this heat issue has concerned me some, for it can get very hot in the summers where I live, snowy and cold in the winters, but quite hot in the summers.
That’s a good question and honestly I’m not sure what the best solution would be. I never noticed any issue with the heat. I also never kept anything sensitive to heat in the bed. On our beach trips it was fine with the bed loaded on hot 90 degree humid days. I can’t imagine it would be different than inside the cab of the truck with sun beating through the glass. I would try it without the insulation and see what you think.
Yes, I agree with you! In my area central Wisconsin, land is being developed into subdivisions, apartment complexes, and businesses. With that being said, there are plenty of vacant buildings that could be utilized first. They arent making anymore land and its sad to see it disappear so quickly.
A small farm is a things of the past. Not many left of any commercial size. Can't compete with the corporate farms.
Really hoping I can find one for myself!
That splitter is a great improvement to your operation. I really like the Wolfe Ridge splitters. I'm planning on getting a 28c in a few months.
Great choice!
And where is this located roughly?
We are in Harrisburg PA
How's the seat comfort on that pickup. Really nice rig! Good video too. One thing for sure no one is making more dirt to farm on. And somebody has to feed the people of this country
Thanks for the comment. The Chevy seats are much more firm than the ford. It’s comfortable for me.
I bought me one in 2023. Yes it is a nice mower.
I like your truck, I am looking at one like it also!
Thanks! Currently at 4500 miles and no complaints. Your channel has been a great resource for my firewood business. I appreciate what you do!
Nice shot on the camera! 😅 splitter is making fast work. Thanks for video!
That poor camera takes a beating
Stumbled up on your channel. New sub here 👍. Your land topography looks similar to ours, not much level land. Nice set up.
Thanks! I feel like I’m always trying to make more flat space.
@@cabinviewventures I feel your pain. Out of 15 acres, maybe 4 you can drive on.
Tym 474 looks like a great value
It's funny to watch your videos because mys etup at home is a Kubota tractor, Wolfe Ridge splitter and a Can Am Defender. Stay cool!
Does the tailgate on your defender jam every time you open like mine? Haha. That thing drives me nuts.
@@cabinviewventures No but my Ranger's does. That's probably because I backed into my dumpster with it LOL!
Haha that will do it
Good to see your checking moisture levels for your customers. I was taught when you check levels it needs to be a fresh split.
lol except the cheap Chinese parts good luck with that
wow as to the totes bought metal built my own boxes and lined them with cattle panels works very well i have 1/4 size create them 1/2 cord creates size too cheap for the homeowner to come and pick up their wood then is me to drop it off i don't stake any of the customer wood the 500 hundred dollar cash bills extra for me to stake their wood for them i have a customer for a long time they are happy to pick up their wood if it cheaper for them to them the customer you give extra to them and i do have non-season wood cheaper too they like the idea they can season their own wood for the use
i have old silage bunks i have piles of firewood drying in the silage bunks if i have called for a firewood bank the special bucket is up then i pale the cord of wood into the bucket other than that it's left there in the bunks i sell none season wood to cheaper the season wood on the customer part they have the right to season their own wood lol i do sell wood spice fore there season their own wood lol cheaper if they take the waste wood from the sawmill to my wood stove not caring what type of wood it is or where it is, to begin with, it burns the same as all wood does in my stove large pine split pieces burn the same as a 6x6 in my stove or in a fireplace if you don't have your chimney cleaned once a year you are really asking for trouble any way don't blame the type of wood you blame on a chimney fire blame your self not having the maintenance done
I bought one exactly like yours (same color) and have about 400 miles on it now. Gets about 13.5 all around. Rides a little hard with the recommended 60 front and 80 back tire pressures. I have reduced the rear pressure to 60 and it does ride better. Will be following on up dates to see if you have any problems. I'm with you, I would rather have latch tailgate. Keep us posted on the reliability of the truck and if you have any problems. The only thing I don't like is the high step in even with running boards. I am thinking about adding AMP electric step boads with will help with the step in, bit they cost about $2000, but I think they will be worth it. Keep us updated on your truck
Congrats on the truck! I think those big 34” tires hurt the mpg a little but well worth it. I’m only at 4500 miles, no issue yet and it drives really nice for a big truck.
Looks good!
Thanks!
Man I promise you that splitter is strong enough to push the wood off the end of the table lol. You don't have to use your energy to throw em all off
You have to throw them or you would be buried in wood in minutes, haha.
Congratulations on 1 year you've had great growth for sure!
Thanks!
Congrats on one year look forward to many more. The ibc totes are hard to find round the area for decent price I just live 40 min south of u I been very lucky in finding some near me at farms n such for free but I like ur home made totes
Thanks! I see a lot down in MD. I might need to just make the run one of these days and load up.
Nick the garden looks great. Congrats on the one year mark. I remember watching your first video. Keep it going my friend.
Greatly appreciated!!!
Premium won’t do shit, c’mon now 🤦♂️
Is that an Axis?
Mom probably put it there while she went to eat. Safe place
The fawn, symbolizing innocence and new beginnings, suggests that you might be embarking on a fresh chapter in your life. This new phase promises growth, urging you to set aside past constraints and step forward with optimism and wonder.The Baby Deer is a representation of new financial beginnings and life outcomes
Looks like a beautiful morning there birds a singing🪵👍🏼
We are in a little valley with a stream. The wildlife love it. We even have Eagles that stop by every once in awhile!
My parents have a house that’s surprisingly similar to yours. Must’ve been built around same time period or something. They live on a green belt and deer come up all the time. One of my favorite memories when I lived with em was shortly after they got it there was a rundown gazebo type deal outside the side door. Looked out the window one morning to see maybe eight or so deer and a couple elk just chilling.
He feels safe near you ❤
And it sort of blends in.
She brings blessings
Baby deer can't get up & walk right away after being born. So the mother leaves & comes back later to get them.❤
Nick nice to see you had the opportunity to upgrade to a commercial splitter. Your production will really go up my friend.
You can make a big pile quick! I’m already redesigning the log yard to make more space.
If i saw this, id be setting up my guard tower for operation bambi nap. No one needs to sleep or eat or use the bathroom while this sweet lil guy is being adorable
Priceless!!
What state are you in? (we live in south Michigan). How often do you need to fill the firewood stand? You are very organized, and your stand is really nicely made. Impressive.
Thanks! We are in south central PA. We have been filling the stand once a week. It’s slowing down now with the heat. Our nighttime temps are in the 80’s.
Hello there, just subscribed, it was 97 degrees here in northern Va. your design looks effective 👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Thanks! I feel like I’m constantly working to make it more efficient.
Hot day out there. I’m in the south west PA area and the heat has been brutal this past week. Stay safe out there. Good progress on the wood yard expansion.
Thanks! I split for two hours this morning and the temperature gauge on the hydraulic tank was maxed.
