Columbus McKinnon Drawshave Review
How to peel a log with a drawknife / drawshave, known to some as debarking. I am using a 13 inch Columbus McKinnon Draw Shave, the end goal is to build a small log cabin.

More shenanigans at: http://offgridwarrior.com
I was pretty exited to head up to the survival shelter this past weekend, I could see the surrounding mountains had what looked like a decent blanket of snow on their tops. Unfortunately as I got closer to the shelter range I realized that the snow line was probably 1000 ft higher than the survival shelter location.
The lack of snow provided me with a good opportunity to finish up on some vital preps. I know from past experiences that the last chore I want to do at the end of a challenging all uphill snow hike is find wood and process it.
I am sure there will be more systems tweaking as I get further into the snow season.
Thanks for watching.

HENNE
hennessey-hammock-vs-falling-branches
Nothing beats a good brisk charge up a snowy mountain with a crap load of gear on your back... who says an over-nighter can't be a challenge!
With this philosophy in mind I decided to investigate some of the surrounding mountains near my off grid property. To make it a little more challenging I grabbed the Hennessy hammock, mustered some gear I had in my truck for some "challenge" weight, stuffed it in my bug out bag and said no thanks to my snow shoes.
Despite almost being impaled by a falling branch during the night and only a couple hours sleep, I had a great little trip.
Live Free and Breath... its awesome.

MOUNT
mountain-and-snow-camping-in-the
I threw together a quick overnight trip up in to the Olympic Mountains. With me I had my trusty Hennessy Ultralite Explorer Asym zip hammock.
Unfortunately after a late start, knee high snow on a 45 degree slope and no snow shoes I was not able to make the designated evening camp. Fortunately the steep mountain slope I was on happened to have a crap load of trees... hammocks like trees.
I think it is safe to say that at this point the Hennessy is my go to sleep system for most of my adventures... providing there are trees.

AXE B
axe-blade-damaged-how-to-repair-your-axe
It doesn't happen often but once in a while metal clashes with rock. If you use your Axe regularly in areas other than your bedroom or manicured garden you're eventually going to hit something other than wood... hopefully not your shins.
When I head out into the backwoods for multiple days I will often take my file along for the trip. I have often found myself on top of a mountain with only rocks to process wood on. Carrying a Lansky puck is vital when you're processing wood daily away from a chopping "station". Unfortunately a puck is not ideal for medium/large dings on the axe edge... enter the bastard file.
I have found that a 10" bastard file works best for me, bastard files are designed to move metal and the 10" length fits well in my bag with enough of a handle to hold on to. Keeping the file in a home made sheath is necessary to prevent the file from poking holes through my backpack.

OFF G
off-grid-log-cabin-build-foundation
Here I am installing the concrete foundation piers for my off grid log cabin build. Before I started mixing concrete we were lucky enough to have a couple days of good rainfall which allowed me to collect enough rainwater for concrete mixing.
The forms I am using are Sakrete branded 12 inch x 4 foot forms and the the concrete I am using is Sakrete High strength concrete mix.
Each 4 ft form required approximately 5.2 bags (80 pound bags), with 9 forms in total I used around 54 bags in total due to the fact extra concrete was poured around the exterior of the forms.
Cost break down:
54x 80 Pound Concrete Bag - $3.94
9x 12 inch x 4ft Forms - $10.42
18x 1/2 inch x 4ft Rebar - $3.27
Total: $365.40
Thanks for watching.

More here: http://offgridwarrior.com
Here I have an early video of my off grid log cabin build. Along with peeling and scribing the logs, moving logs on the wall was one of the steps that was quite time consuming.
All my logs came up one way and then had to be moved into position for scribing. Not to forgotten once the logs were scribed they had to be moved back down off the for cutting... and once again moved back up after that for fitting and seating.
Here you can see how I moved logs once they were up on the wall.

REVIE
review-of-the-stihl-peavey-rolling-logs
Like the cant hook, the STIHL log peavey is an essential day-to-day forestry tool used for the turning of heavy logs or dislodging them from entanglements. What sets the peavey apart is a strong steel spike at the end of the handle. This gives you greater control of the movement of the log. Available in 42", 48" and 60" versions.
