One more tip from a person who has burnt wood for about 45 years: first, put the splitter as close to the woodshed as possible so there are fewer steps. Second, if a wood chunk goes in the tractor bucket, park the tractor next to the splitter and not pick up the wood twice. It may take a bit longer, but it is much easier. I love the videos.

Very nice video Ally! I want to give you a shout out. Thanksgiving day while cooking I had a big splash of melted butter fly up and land on top of my left index finger just below the knuckle. Despite running cold water over the burn it became a third degree burn. I was using a burn ointment on it but it wasn’t healing. After a few days of that I came across a tin of your The Remedy salve. I started putting that on the burn twice a day and within a couple of days I could believe how much more quickly the burn was healing. It’s almost healed up now and I don’t think it’s even going to leave a scar. I want to thank you for all of your herbal and medicinal plant research and creating a natural healing product that really works. I will be buying more of your products and telling my friends about you. I hope you and your family and friends have wonderful Holidays!

Chew up all those leaves and cover your garden with them over winter. It's is free Carbon, every compost pile and garden bed loves free Carbon.

Leaf blowers are such a satisfying way to clean up the property!

Yes! Leaf crunching! We love it! It’s what we say when we need to hike, “Let’s go leaf crunching!” Our favorite! 🥾🥾

Beautiful winter. I enjoy seeing all the big and little things you love about winter. And I love your self sufficiency. I would recommend you and Kyle both wear back braces to protect your backs. I used to do tough labor and I didn’t protect mine and now a bad back has clipped my wings.
Much love to you both. ❤❤

Your leaf blower is a games changer for all four seasons ❣winter feels like clock ⏰ time flys but things around us slow down and I love the crisp cold air and layers of clothing we get to wear home feels more cozy 🫶♥☃❄☃❄

Yes getting prepared for winter is a big task. I moved to the mountains in 2010 from California and learned very quickly after first winter to start preparing in August. I miss splitting wood and stacking because now I don't have a wood burning stove. It's exhilarating to get ready for winter. I still do minus the wood. Would to learn how to make the fire cider 😊
Bet your loving all the snow your getting now😊.

We don’t have much winter down here in Georgia, but it get’s a little bit cool, My favorite part of winter is being able to build a big fire in our fireplace! Love Your channel!

You made me shiver seeing you in the water with the snow around… ! How much land do you have there…? It’s great that you can harvest your own firewood with plans to expand your garden etc. for future projects. Something satisfying about splitting wood to keep yourself warm, but I only have a small amount… done enough for the season. I really like Christmas season… everything about it… New Year’s Eve I just like a good meal and wine 🍷… home and sleep… I’ll greet the New Year in the morning.
It’s a beautiful sight seeing the wood shed filled, it must be very satisfying for you both…
Stay safe and warm… take good care…
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄🎄🎁 ahead of time… hope it’s a wonderful Christmas… enjoy!
Hohoho 🎅🏻

Put those leaves on your garden bed! Perfect compost for your raised beds for next years soil! Fantastic work!

[Torsee]

Leaf blowers are addictive!
OCD rears it’s head

[gardentours]

You're so strong 💪🏻 that you manage to lift those big logs 👍

[gabrielleszafir]

Loved this Ally! I make Youtube videos in a similar spirit as you about my life and living and renovating a semi off-grid tiny house and honestly watching how you do things makes me feel so much less alone in the challenges of what it really takes to live this way. You're such a badass! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours 🧡🌲 Keep goin' !!

If you get two years seasoned wood that is cut split and stacked called CSS. You will get more heat and burn less wood. Cut and split right before needing it your wood will have too much moisture in it.

I Love to see a vision that reveals great thought !

[fourscore]

Hey Ally, another great video! If you wish to expand your business I would suggest visiting some of your area businesses that already sell similar products/health oriented and ask for a physical spot in their store to display your items for sale. It can benefit you and the store owner.
