Follow me on my various outdoor adventures! Based out of Alberta, Canada, I'll be sharing a wide variety of outdoors content including hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, and much more! Things are about to get Wild!
We always used moth balls to drive out the skunks and varmits. Don't know if there's any truth to it it. But seems to work. You could always live trap them and take them on a trip. lol

I would definitely get rid of any branches on the dead log that would block a shot. No sense in putting in the work to be spoiled by a limb when it mattered.

Dang!, those black flies are a PITA eh. All that wet, marshy land with such tall grass everywhere is game paradise for sure. With that much land available, finding pockets where game tends to gather naturally must be a laborious venture. Of course the mineral and salt licks will be productive but I bet there's other areas the game frequently visits a little further away also. Shucks..Chucks😒 It's going to be a good hunting/trapping season I think, will be cool to see some of the prep and come along on the series of adventures ahead. Thanks for the video and work, always a good experience. See ya next time.

Better clear those dead branches off the downed tree between you stand and lick. Look like some good arrow deflectors. Looks like a great setup!

Always good to get out ahead of season. Those chucks are fun to watch at first but will need to find a better place to reside. Maybe a funnel cage trap would catch them up. Good luck. 👍👍

Man, Kusk, you are getting me stoked for hunting season already. I have been using Deer Caine, and it works so well. I'll be looking forward to seeing what visits your spread. The view from that tree stand was incredible. Man o man. Now you will have to deal with those wood chucks. Don't forget to hit record for that one. Take care and God bless. Thanks for the great video!

Really interesting vid, thank you. I note your comments about other people coming to the area. Does that mean there is public access, or is the area privately owned?
@KuskWild2 күн бұрын
It's government land, so public access is allowed. We just have the sole rights to trap this area. Thanks for watching!

Where are you based? It's nice to finally see a youtube video with a snowy november, too often my gardening videos have tips like "if it's too hot then put your garlic in the fridge before growing it" & I kind of need the opposite. You seem great. I love your genuine approach to speaking. You speak with an understanding not a script.

Kia ora (greetings) from Aotearoa/New Zealand - hey just a bit of advice, always do the back cut higher than the front scarf - not lower like you did, that can end very badly indeed. I'm wanting you to live longer so you keep making these vids.

Not the most popular opinion here I guess, but if you aren't going to eat it and it isn't going after your livestock, you're being a dick. Love your other channel though

Nothing more humbling than swinging an axe and stockpiling future fuel for the wood stove. It's a way of life that most have put to the wayside. Being so close to the land is gratifying. Been catching up on your videos. It's been a good minute since I seen your videos. Good to see you back. Cheers from Ontario

As they say, wood heats you twice, once when you cut it and once when you burn it. It is hard work, but rewarding, the smells the wood gives off, the sounds. A good coffee after work, the best. Cheers.

you would get good results with a wedge and a sledge hammer. no fighting with the wood. just set the wedge and hammer away. once you have it split in two you could go back to the ax to finish quartering up the wood.

I haven’t split any spruce. Primarily white ash and red oak. Wood is a worthwhile task. One ash had a gaggle of young sassafras trees out in front if it. The would have caused a lot of entanglements, and that could have led to falls etc. We cleaned them out, and had sassafras tea for a few months. JARVIS good tea! Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Just curious why you split on the ground and not on a chopping block (like one of the big rounds from the base of the tree)? Is there any benefit or just convenience? I always grab a beefy round and set the stuff to be split on it. Great series with the cabin and camp!

In my younger days I would put up 6-8 cords every spring to get us thru the winter…. Mostly Douglas fir and Birch… all split by hand and stacked. I absolutely regret nothing about buying a 27 ton wood splitter to feed my back yard fire pit a few years ago 🤣🤣 You got the making of a Buckin Billy Ray wood bullet there…. Pretty much a steel wedge you can swing 👍 And Bjarne Butler sells little bags of sawdust on his web store, I think he does quite well with it… he’s a professional faller on the west coast 😏
