Getting ready to use this stuff, great video!
Just bought my first house and have a little land in the back I’m trying to make a trail through. This video is a godsend! Limited tools and resources, it helped motivate me that it’s really possible. Love the focus on working safely. 🎉
I cleared another small food plot last week with the same tools. in about 4 hours i cleared 1/4 to the ground. Ready to weed kill!!
A number 10 meat grinder works really good to
Great tips! I am new to hunting. What is the difference between using a speaker with duck audio, compared to a calling whistle. Sorry for a the dumb question.
Nice video, thanks for the info!
How about some more experience before doing a tutorial.
That stuff fuckin sucks
I made one based on this design, 5.5” (2x6) was a good size. I made mine about 4’ long from some scrap, and screwed it to a sawhorse and it works great
There is something wrong with game laws if you can't use live bait. The only restriction in Arkansas regarding live bait is they must be purchased from a licensed dealer and you can't use carp. But you can trap your own minnows so the licensed dealer thing is unenforceable. The licensed dealer thing forces dealers to pay licensing fees. With game laws like that a person should use cut bait made from politicians.
some of their reasoning is that they dont want invasive species getting into Algonquin Park. The park is full of speckle trout and lake trout.
Is this the Karen that went ape chit about someone carving their name into a tree?
Never ever use an axe on tree limbs
migwech for your short demonstration on lure
where are you from fellow Canadian ?
Like your teaching info. Love your pelts. Love your honesty. Great video dude.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Can that blade cut through berry bushes??
oh yes. It cuts through wild raspberries with ease. It will cut small maples and pines. Where leather work boots because if the blade comes off you could be in trouble!!
Nice vid dad
lol love you guys
Im trying to make a path dont have many tools...what do i do about thorn vines?
Great work man! Trying out all the different ways to tan sheep hide here in France. Smoking is a great way to!
Adam you know you have top smoke them hides before they are water proof otherwise when wet they go back to raw pelts ex video
Great video! How’s that beast running now? Have you come up with any issues?
The beast is running great. after 10 years i did have to replace the battery though. lol
Is your wife sitting around by chance 🤔
Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
Please redo the video so we can all see what it is that you’re doing cause a lot of this video can’t really see it. Thank you.
Looks cold in there, lol
It wasn't bad. It was very cold that day though. Those huts do a great job of blocking the wind. Insulated, if you have the extra coin, is the way to go.
Looking forward to ice fishing Lake Nipissing for the first time. Any tips on where to park (off ice lol) with a short walk? Much appreciated!
Callander Bay is decent.
Bad review insulationwize, we can see your breath with it being small and insulated and with a heater on. Makes me leary about the tent.
I had a friend who made his own tip ups but Joe is no longer with us. So I appreciate you doing this vid to refresh my memory.
I made the mistake of buying a Speeco 27 ton years ago. Just bought a Eastonmade Ultra. 4 sec cycle time, 6 grand though. I can split now for an hour that would take my speeco 8 hours. If you heat your house with wood spend the money. If you do buy a speeco mine fought on fire once because the chips build up around the exhaust
It is slow when you compare it to other brands. When i bought it, it was also a fraction of the cost of those faster units. It's a good unit for the price. If is far from perfect though!!
I've heard trimmer, weedwhacker, weed eater, weed whip, but never whipper snipper haha
lol glad you enjoyed!!
I have the same machine. Works well. I use my tractor/loader for the wing. Most of the time, I just put the splits in, but on really big rounds, I roll them into the bucket and and put it alongside and then roll them onto the splitter. No need for vertical use.
12 volt LED lights come in screw in E26 , so you can use lamps, chandeliers, sockets.
real good lure will be using soon good video
Beautiful woods! You’ve got something really special out there.
Its pretty darn nice out here!!
Thanks for the video and telling us what did and didn't work so well- hides look great
i try to show what i did and what went wrong. I have never done it before so it was trial and error. Thanks for watching.
Neats foot oil will soften that right up bud but they look nice make for happy kids feet
Can’t decide weather to get insulated or uninsulated.
I think the way to go is insulated if you can afford it. Now i almost never use a hut so i find mine works good for me as i really just want it to cut the wind.
Awesome video!! Your channel seems really cool! Just subbed too!!👍
What tip of salt rock or regular
thats a little more than the minimum.
I enjoyed your video. i appreciated watching you work through the unboxing and set up - right what i'm doing right now.
I apreciate you making this video, it takes a lot of guts, however you are supposed to break during the drying period. You are not supposed to let them dry first. Your skins will come out like fine buckskin if you dry a bit, break, dry and break. If spots get hard use a spray bottle of water to hydrate and break again. If part are drying too fast you can put the skin is a plastic bag rolled up and go at it again later. Tont let them completely dry while breaking.
Have you watched the Joel Salatin (sp?) videos of his (among other homesteaders that have visited his farm and vlogged about him)? Absolutely incredible stuff! :)
I bought a used Huskee (made by Speeco) 22 ton, looks just like yours, for $400 American off craigslist more than 5 years back. I replaced a bad tire and the hydraulic oil filter when I got it, and this year I replaced the carb on the engine. Other than that I've only had to change the engine oil every year, and that's it. I split 2 to 3 cords a year. I have no doubt I could sell it for at least $800 today, if I decided to, but as long as I need some firewood, I'll keep it. If the motor ever dies, I'll replace it and keep using it.
look to get a fan either hang from the ceiling or get a stove fan to put on the heater it will push the heat around in the blind 👍
minimal tools my ass. God damned cubit long chainsaw!
Im 64 now finally got a JD tractor, with a mulcher, when i was yer age, my BF and i built countless miles, with machete, saw and had cutters, its damn hard work, we worked harder on weekends that at work all week, but those rides and adventure great stuff, i moved to a new farm to retire, bad feet, so now i ride a cab, and walk through all new bush, to have a place the wife and I can ride, side by side, i hope the kids back home use amd maintain my years of work, good way to stay in shape, and love life, riding and hunting, good video
It can be hard work no doubt. Especially in swampy areas or in thick bush. I'm lucky as it is not all that thick here. I just bought a new 1025r this spring with a chipper to help clean up more of the brush on the trails and around my place. Thanks for the comment!!
@@AdamCraigOutdoors awesome Adam 👍
This is great!! Haha Love it. I wanna try this now. Is this your idea? Or found from another? Either way. love it
I had made these back in high school. We rigged it up with a 9v battery and an alarm. When the spring went down, it would make contact and set of an alarm you could hear. Was fun to make.
@@AdamCraigOutdoors Nice, thats a cool idea! The alarm as well
Your supposed to used non iodized salt, the iodine can damage the hair follicles. Just a tip
Was about to say. And the directions specifically say "non-iodized" salt. This is the third vid I've watched and still not happy with what I'm seeing / hearing.
I’ve always used just cattle feed salt and it works fine. Really cheap too! It’s like $7 for 50lbs
Iodized salt will do the job though so if you're in a pinch it will probably be fine
@@wolfie1703 it will cause hair slippage
@@bengreen4583 it’s never happened to me. I wonder why other people have problems with it.
Thanks for the salted minnow idea. Ever try vacuum packing/freezing pike size suckers, etc.? Years ago I tried everything I could think of to keep minnows alive at home. I had big tanks, air, water filtering, recommended food, etc.. They all died usually within a month. They would be fine one day and the next morning all dead. After several fails following online instructions I gave up and sold everything.
Freezing them would be a great idea as well. I have a swamp out back that i have trapped minnows in and they are hardy. I keep a 5gal bucket in the garage hooked up to my compressor. Works pretty well. Shiners do not last long and i have never been able to keep them alive.
Are the hides dry when you put the tanning solution on ?
no, they were soaked in a warm/salted water.
