That's true WV grit "Montani Semper Liberi"

That's awesome. How did they lift the logs with pulleys or machinery ? What memories and learning experience for your Boys to work with your Dad on a project of that scale.

:thumbsup beautiful pics love the cabin :thumbsup

I love my old Ford 9n it just keeps on running . DW did most of the ground work with the horses but needed help with training them to drive on the open road. 1st our Amish neighbor trained them next to his best bomb proof draft horse on his large heavy work wagon on the road. Then each one...

Bee What makes me feel good is when I leave for work in the AM after stocking the cabin with wood and stoking the wood stove for DW looking in my rear view mirror seeing the white plume of smoke coming from the chimney.

Bee I understand about using the splitter I'm trying to resist because I hate the noise of the engine and smell of the gas and Hydraulic oil however I think in a few years age is going to win:old that battle and ill break down and use a splitter but until that time I'm skidding the logs with...

Hinotori I love my Truper Ive given my Step Son and a couple Amish Friends one as a gift because it works so well. Ive thought about purchasing a kindling cracker for splitting kindling I understand it works well and is very safe it was designed and marketed by a 13 year old girl what a story...

The order should have been reversed Tom Brady 1st :cool: then firewood

I thought those New England'ers loved firewood and Tom Brady ( My Dads family all from Ma & NH ) :cool: Cost of firewood = gas & oil for chainsaw and 4-5 weekends of free gym membership :)

Ok I enjoy skidding logs, using my chain saw, and splitting rounds with my maul. Its kind of like a gym membership that you don't have to pay for and it benefits you with a pile of fire wood. " People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results." - Albert Einstein-...

Rodeo Ive only seen domesticated Buffalo in small settings and they just seem wild,mean and crazy . I just think they are meant to be in large settings like Yellowstone. President Grant sure got it right when he made Yellowstone the 1st national park. Like I said its top of my to do list when I...

Stunning pics of Yellowstone. Ill be retiring in a few years Yellowstone is on the top of my must do list. Nothing is more grand than a wild Buffalo herd.

Thanks for all the info Getty this site is a great place to share experiences. I noticed that on the Butterfly stove it has 22 individual wicks in comparison to the perfection that uses a one cylinder type wick ( see attached ) do you think that the multiple wicks produce more efficient...

Our camp is in Ritchie County WV . When we first built the cabin we used a 3 burner perfection kerosene stove that was purchased at a Amish auction. The Amish use these in the summer often because their large wood stove gets their house to hot. We found that the kerosene stove created a smell...

Almost done, but was able to use the shower this week end at camp. Foraged creek rock placed landscape plastic, built frame, placed rock and pea gravel for drainage Zodi and deck boards

I agree the Amish are great friends and a good resource. Joe Mackall a Ashland Univ. prof wrote a book about the Amish near me Plain Secrets: An Outsider among the Amish which is a good read if your interested in learning more about Amish. There are many types of Amish very liberal to very...
