all right guys this is my Uncle Tom and we you're going to do we're going to get get slabs of wood Uncle Tom yep we're going to get I don't know seven bundles seven bundles of wood so these are when a Milling Company Mills it this is the tops and bottoms of the trees they usually just throw them away but for some reason this person decided to collect them and they've been sitting in their yard for years now right yeah they're good dry yep good dry wood so we're going to H ideal sing for somebody's law want lock cabin yeah g many homas you think I'd never done this before or something I miss that son of a duck my original plan when I went up north was not to haul wood but when you have a truck and you have a trailer and you have people that need help well sometimes you just got to drop what you're planning what to do and do what works out best for other people and that's what's happening today um we're going to go out into the woods we're going to hike and load up a bunch of slab wood and haul it to my uncle we're going to haul it to the kids out at the yurt we're going to get everybody else taken care of before we start to worry about ourselves so I'll take you along for the ride and just show you some beautiful back country and we can watch the ants trailer do what the ants trailer does but the first thing we got to do is get out into the woods and get our set of forks [Music] this trailer is crying look at that tire but look at this wonder why it took me a there I got more space on that side so that was a little little heavy on the one side before I can load anything up I need a set of forks and I've got some way out in the back woods they're not perfect Forks they're stubbies but at least they're better than hiking them in by hand come on Mojo So I hope all of you guys have your own little slice of paradise you guys may think that my my place on the lake is mine nope not at all it's right here I'm out in the woods got a soul nobody is out here 80 acres I have no power electricity or running water I don't have a bathroom but I got all of this I bought this camper trailer it leaks like a Civ it needs work but I am right here I let my dogs go and they just run I love it no people nothing my daughter she's got her place there she's got a greenhouse her solar panel system is over there and that's doing great if you guys haven't seen the video on that it's in the works right now um and she's got her yur right there so yeah and we've got all this space in land short short Ed Forks is like a short handled shovel I think I'm going to grab them and [Music] this Tick Tock kids you're like a dime holding up a dollar let's get this show rolling [Music] [Applause] oh [Music] if you're not familiar with the ants trailer it has a remote control which allows me to adjust the Tilt angle right from inside the cab of the machine so as I'm climbing up onto the trailer I can just drop it down as I go into the now this is the slab wood that Uncle Tom was talking about it's all laid out there's seven bundles so I figure I got to take Seven Trips well until I decide to cheat which I'll show you what happens with that coming up in a the first load of wood goes right to Uncle Tom's house but he's got a narrow skinny winding driveway so why not back down it cuz I like going bass Awards and I love a good challenge go back for that way with the trailer so the original plan when I got this trailer was to give it directly to my Crews because it's really helpful on tight sights for unloading materials but then I got selfish I started to use it and I realized that this trailer is probably the handiest dump trailer that I've ever had I love that conveyor belt system I can drop off stacked materials with no issues it's just overall an amazing piece of equipment I've ran it now for 2 years with absolutely zero issues and so I kept it for [Music] since the first load of wood went so good I figured well why not try to ha to on there I mean we're not going down any major highways we're out in the back country and I just want to see what'll happen cuz why not hey what do you guys think I got room for more on there right at least two more yeah there you then she unloads a little like opening up a can of biscuits HP goes a [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Le I get everything hauled okay for Uncle Tom I get him set up at the at his house on the lake I also get extra wood all hiked out and ready for him out on the farm so he's got that but now I got to bring a load of wood out to the kids at the year then Tarzan shows me something cool that he discovered out in the woods that if you find when you're out in the woods just don't eat but it's a cool story and I want to show it to you guys okay okay okay so we're with the mushroom expert actually Thomas knows how to culture and grow mushrooms all sorts of interesting things right Tarzan and this is in the woods we're just walking in the woods tell me about this these are the Northern or the Minnesota almanita variety what is Alman Alm whatever Alita is um a flyer gck that comes from uh northern Europe okay so here's an interesting fact and correct me if I'm wrong is this the mushroom that's in Mario Brothers it is yeah so what H so this is a real thing these are psychedelic mushrooms and when you hit that Mushroom in Mario Brothers do you notice how everything changes like doesn't it grow or something yeah yeah you get bigger and stronger so in real life when you eat these mushrooms you feel like things are changing and in the Mario Brothers game they actually did that with these mushrooms these are holy crap there's a whole family of these little son of a Ducks there was a bunch underneath a tree here jeez look at this all right we're back where we were loading wood and I chew this driveway up I mean it's what a skid loader does it skids while it's loading crap that's why they call them skid steers and they tear everything up I don't know these people I've never met them before but I do know I wouldn't want my driveway left like this so problem is we don't have a bucket we don't have a Bucket close we got a set of forks and a grapple let's see what we can do with it's like a Harley every time you use it you better have a set of tools with you to fix that I think I wrenched more on this one attachment than all my other ones [Music] [Applause] combined [Music] that's what screwed me up that frecker right there remember I always lift it with a twisting jerking motion Brute Force won't do it let the machine do it for far from perfect but a hell of a lot better ah wish I had a bucket wish I had a bucket I could do so much better if that if any of the times on that bucket my grapple bucket would line up right A Penny through there I know I know she's she's a tiny bit tight but you got about that much on the other side yeah I got more room on the other side oh you actually grabbed the other crap though is sitting out there I did I did hey guess what happened to the bucket you finally burst that line again that I that I fixed keep it broke again yeah Pro probably was on the second or third time I lifted the cylinder up and down I don't know I don't know but that's it we're done with this one we've got all the wood hauled everything's done mushroom Madness is behind us we got that done uh and that's going to be that's going to call it for this one but don't go anywhere because we got a lot of really cool videos coming up we're going to be developing the property across the lake shangra Lou we've got to go fix the property line over there um we're going to be uh we're going to be using the hoty pressure washer we need one we need more no no the hose is good I tightened it up it just needs to be a little bit more snug okay yeah yeah yeah so the hose didn't burst there was a fitting but we're going to need more cuz we're down to our last hose oh yeah yeah you know that thing likes eat you yelled at me when I got four of them but we've already gone through three of the four okay I did I did I yelled at them Zack why'd you get four hoses we only need one well it y you you know I'm right
