 Guys, wait for a couple people to get in here. I am at the mill in Jefferson. Been here most of the morning, got a ton of stuff done. Don, he was here with me for quite a few logs. He had to roll, he had some, I think he had to go do some banking or something before they closed. But I have a mega hemlock to tackle. Right now, for you guys, I'm gonna turn this around so you can see it. That is a beast. Kyle Powers, hello from Chicago. Hello, buddy. All right, guys, I'm trying this on the Starlink. I'm not sure how the internet connection's gonna be, but that's Elon Musk's Starlink. We're gonna try that. I got a Boojar V power box power on the router. This is the router right here. And then we're at the sawmill. I have like decent service out here normally. So maybe I could just switch it back over to cellular data if that cuts out again, but it looked like it cut out once already. All right, I think we just found the answer on that Starlink that that might not be the answer for this show. So I'm gonna switch it back to cellular data. I just switched it back to cellular data. I'm gonna shut Elon off over here with the Starlink. It seems to kick me off and reconnect and boot. And I know that's super frustrating for you guys when you're trying to watch. So we're gonna, I'm gonna mill this mega hemlock out. It's like 19 inches at the end down there. And it's like 15 foot long. So you guys like to figure out board footage can figure that out. I'm just looking to get two by eights out of it. And anything left over all take down like a two by four because you can always use more two by fours on a project. We are at 37, two by eights right now. We need 57, I believe. And that should be the last of the dimensional lumber. I think we have to do one more six by six. And then all of the lumber is milled for this wilderness camp project. So I'm getting excited the nearer and the closer we get to it. We're into some giant hemlock, which is not fun with two people. Donnie was milling with me all morning, but he had to go do some banking or something before it closed. So I'm gonna try to do this mega one on my own. It's gonna be a challenge and I love a challenge. So then the other challenge I'll be able to show you. I don't know if I can show you this. I'm gonna zoom in so I don't have to get too close. We have some neighbors here. Some nice white face hornets decided to build a home and they built it pretty darn quick. Right here next to the mill. There's the mill where I stand. There they are. We haven't had any problems yet, but I also haven't come over here very often on this side. So I think I'm gonna leave them be. Oh man, looking and coming and going like crazy. Oh, looking them all. If you guys have ever been stung by a white face, you know how they are there. They hit a little harder. Let's just say it that way. Yeah, they definitely hit a little harder. I guess I'm shooting this live in vertical. What would you guys prefer? Leave it in the comments. If you like vertical or horizontal, if you're watching this on your phone or if you're watching this on like a computer or television, it helps me for the next time I go live to know what people are preferring. I got a couple minutes to take a couple questions before I fire the old mill up and get through this thing. The mill's been acting up. I think one of the hydraulic pumps that runs the forward backwards is acting up. So it cost us a blade earlier because it just took off on its own and just kind of drew a piece of wood, made a really weird cut and broke a blade. So hopefully that doesn't happen. Size of a basketball, basically. Yeah, Justin Harding said he found one of those in his backyard. This one's about the size of a basketball. It's growing. It was a softball the first day I noticed it. Now it's a basketball. So I think one of these cold mornings, I'm gonna come out and give it the old 12-gauge and see how it handles that before we have a problem with the mill. But they haven't bothered yet. Knock on wood. I got a big piece of wood right there. They haven't bothered yet, so we're gonna leave them alone. You guys see me jumping, running and dancing halfway through this live video and maybe swearing a little bit. It's because those white face don't want to tolerate me around anymore. But I could see him coming and going like crazy building that nest and feeding their young ones or whatever else they're doing. There he is. There's Nick. Nick Linders on, guys. We're milling this giant hemlock. I don't know if you guys have hemlock in Minnesota where Nick is, but it's an awesome, awesome building material. We milled a couple spruce this morning. I'll show you that. And then the rest of them that we've been milling our hemlock, if we had more spruce, we would mill more spruce. But that whiter one right there, it's a lot lighter weight, has smaller knots. And then the rest of this is our two by eight right here. And then that's our floor stringers. Those are two by tens. And then what we're gonna put our camp on, these are six by sixes that we're gonna have the camp and put that on those. And then our two by fours are down yonder. And we have some board and boards over here. And a big slab pile there. And yeah, so we got 20 people on. Any fishing in Minnesota this year, Justin, I'm gonna be doing some fishing. I'm gonna set something up with Nick. We're also gonna do an overnight on the ice and meet and greet the fans and subscribers. So there's gonna be some serious fishing in Minnesota this year. I'm trying to kind of hit a couple new areas in Minnesota and bring Donnie with me. So that should be around the time of the show if there is ice. You know, that's the only trouble with doing an event like that is you're always relying on mother nature for good ice. But Moxie ice cream, we have Moxie floats. It's like a root beer float, but it's even more popular and they taste better. So all right guys, if you're just tuning in now, I'm gonna try to tackle this mega, mega hemlock by myself. Not fun. They're not fun with two people. They're not really even that much fun with three people. But I'll show you how big this one is. We're looking at just measuring across here. We're looking at 19 to 20 inches, right around 20 inches. And it's 15 foot long. So there's some serious board foot in that log right there. The shape of it, just so you can see, because it's kind of hard with the milling. Excuse me. It's got a little bow to it on the top. So I'm gonna have to cut that bow out and then get to some good straight stuff. Hopefully it's not shaky at all. Meaning that there's any hidden cracks in there that's gonna weaken the lumber for when we go to use it. If there is, I might have to junk it. But we're crossing our fingers because it's a lot of hard work. So where are you gonna see me struggle? Cause the mill's gonna be loud. I won't be able to talk unless I shut it off each time. But where you're gonna see me struggle is after the first couple cuts, I'm gonna take a slab off this. It's gonna go in the slab pile. It's just junk. It's just the bark. And then the next one's gonna be a two inch piece with a lot of bark on it. And I'm gonna probably just throw it to the ground to pick up for later. And then I gotta roll this log. And this log is heavy. It is a heavy, heavy lumber in itself, hemlock is. And this one happens to be green, which means that it's wet. And yeah, it's gonna be, it'll be hard to roll it by myself, but I think I can do it. Milling those shakes. I don't know if we can mill shakes, freedom, about those cedar shakes that you sent me in the comments. I was actually gonna talk to Donnie about finding someone who already is milling something like that and seeing if they can do a custom for you. But otherwise, if you look up fro, FROE, it's an old tool that they used to use in Maine to make cedar shingles. And you would kind of hit it with a hammer on the top and it would slice down and make like little tiny pizza cuts around the top of a cedar tree, you know, over a round. And that's how they actually made shingles for a long, long time. So you might be able to make customs with a fro if you can find one. I'm sure you could find one on the internet cheap or at an antique store. And I might have a couple kicking around. I think Donnie might too. But I'll talk to Donnie about it later on tonight. So, all right guys, so we got 24 people viewing. Got a couple of thumbs up. I'm gonna go ahead and fire up the mill. I'm gonna get you guys set up here. I haven't heard if you guys are watching this on your phones, if you wanna see it vertical or horizontal. So I'm shooting vertical today. Hopefully that works for you guys. I'm gonna walk in here. All right, I think you're locked in pretty good. And you're gonna see me down at the other end of the mill running it right towards you guys. All right, let's see if we could trim this baby down. Oh, I got a protection first. All right guys, I'm gonna go after this hemlock. That's off that thing. I got two on the ground. Top one's gonna be a two by four. The other might be a two by eight. But the hardest part of this entire job is gonna be the next five or 10 minutes. That's why I shut that off so you guys can hear me maybe grunt and growl. And it is a absolute beast. I know Donnie and I would struggle on this one together. So I'm gonna have to find one burst of big energy to try to get this thing to roll. Hopefully you guys are looking at it. Yeah, you got a good view of it. I need to get this flat spot right here. Flipped 90 degrees and up against the stanchion. So in order to put as much pressure as possible on this, I want those stanchions up as high as I can. I can always lower them before I run the blade. All right, there's two. I'm gonna take the pressure off it where I had it playing flat. And the goal of these things is to get all four sides square and flat and then into what they call a camp. And then if you've got to do it, then it's not a camp. Then you could get your lumber out of it. So I don't know, not quite sure how this is gonna go. So cheer me on, guys, because this is a beast. Nope, that's not good. We can't be having that. That would have been ugly. Let's try it again. All right, here we go. If I walk it in, sweet. Looks to be about 90 degrees. Took a little grunt and groan, it weren't that bad. Now I gotta lower these because they're within range of the blade. Don't wanna run the blade into those or it would snap the blade in a second. All right, these prevent the log from just rolling right off the mill. You got that one, I'm just gonna lower this one. There we have it. All right, I'm gonna check back in with you guys. See how everything's going. Donny's doing okay, yes. Donny's feeling a lot better. He was really, really sick on that last trip and may have overdone it on that 90-degree day and wasn't good. You do the lifting, here we go. I like it, Mike. All right, so this is the log I'm working on right here. It's a beast of a hemlock. I'll try to get you guys a really cool angle. Let me see. Maybe something like that for now. And I'm gonna take a slab off the top and then probably another piece too. I think I got about 16 inches here. Yeah, a little bit over 16 inches here. So I'm gonna run her down and here we go guys. Trying to make two by eights for rafters for a wilderness cabin. All right, we got the main log down to eight inches, as you can see there. And that's because we're a milling for two by eights. So I'm gonna flip that log over and I'll already have my eight inch wide and then every cut after that's gonna be two inches at a time to give me that two inch thickness. And then the two by eights are just about 15 foot long. They're gonna be our rafters. We're gonna have a 10 pitch on for the roof on this wilderness camp. All right, I'll see. Kyle's anniversary, happy anniversary, buddy. It is an awesome looking log. Yeah, and you can get so much out of them. We got 11 two by eights out of the last log we did. And I don't know how much a 14 foot two by eight cost nowadays. You guys can probably figure that out or look it up, but multiply that by 11 and add two more two by fours in there. And that was pretty, it was definitely worth doing that one. So right now I got to, I'm gonna roll this log. So I got to take the top two slabs off it. Top one's gonna end up being two by four. The second one, I can probably squeeze a two by eight out of that. And then I'm gonna be able to see how many we're gonna get out of this entire log. So you guys can watch me drop and grown on this one. This, the first one's going to the log is so wide. The second one's got to go to the ground too. I hate to, because that means I got to pick up, pick that one up again. Maybe I can do it. Ah, the heck with it. Let's just put it to the ground and deal with it later. Fast roll for this log. Holy cow, and she's heavy. It's amazing how heavy this thing is. Those are eight inches wide now. So every two inches off that's a rafter for us. That's pretty exciting. And then these other ones are a challenge too. I guess I'm gonna do a couple of those. She heavy. All right, I can get eights out of those. The rest of these are two by fours. And it's 14 inches. So top one might be a little iffy, but we should be able to get seven there. Eight, nine, two by eights out of this log. Pretty excellent in that square. This is stuff we can use on a project if we want. But out of these, I got two more right here. So anybody had a chance to look that up yet, but I'm kind of curious how much a 14 or 15, call it 14 foot, two by eight goes for nowadays. It's hemlock, you could kind of compare it to pressure treated in a way. It has a lot of resistance, but it's not pressure treated, but it's probably somewhere between regular spruce and pressure treated for longevity. But this is actually a true two by eight. So if we look it up online or wherever and find out how much a 14 foot two by eight goes for, you're really buying like an inch and a half by seven and a half probably or something like that. So, but I'm curious to know if anybody knows off the top of their head or if they look it up, how much a 14 foot two by eight would cost? Cause then we can figure out how much this log was worth or how much we saved by milling this log ourselves. So there's three there, four or five. I'm gonna get four more. So we're gonna get a total of nine, two by eights out of this one log. And then three, two by fours on the ground here that I could pull out of that slab wood. All right, I'll check a couple of comments. And then the last one to go, 45 watching and 29 likes. Yeah. Oh, 37 likes and 42 watching. That's pretty cool. Just think all the fire starters, the boy. Yeah, no kidding, out of that pile of sawdust, you're right. How many man hours do you have under this milling project? Depends if you consider us a man or not. I think we're acting like men on this one. So, geez, that's quite a, that's a great question. I mean, we fell some of the trees. Jamie cut a lot of the trees for Donnie, a great logger in this area from town, Jamie Peasley. And then, you know, we bucked it into lengths and then at the mill here, and it's not a crazy fast mill. So we got a lot of hours into it, but we lucky for us, we got a lot of hours or we've had a lot of hours that like right now, I got employees still at the ice cream shop. So, you know, I'm paying them so that I can be here. But hours wise, geez, I don't know. I really don't know. We'd have to sit down and think that in. But it looks like we got a couple of guys watching from down east. All right, so here we go. Here's some numbers. Bad, crispy, came in with some numbers. He says between 19 to $29 from the Menads. And that's for two by eight by 14 pressure treated. Okay, so 19 to $30 pressure treated. This is like hemlock. This is hemlock. It's not pressure treated, but it's not too far off. Be honest with you. So let's just say, I don't know what a spruce would cost like a kiln dried or regular one you'd buy, I gotta believe they're over 15 bucks, close to 20 bucks. So maybe we got 180 into this log and it was just gonna lay down and rot anyway. It was on Donny's property and Donny loves to harvest the lumber out here, especially for stuff you can use. So that's awesome. CJ's checking in, what's up buddy? Just talking about yesterday to my buddy, Nick, who's also watching, talking about some early season, early ice season crappy fishing. But yeah, I'll check in with some more comments, guys. I'm gonna finish this log off. I have four, I think three more cuts should do it actually. So I'm gonna finish this baby off, set you guys in a pretty good location so you can see what's going on. There we go. And make my last three cuts. Pretty awesome, really, really, really nice ones. They're gonna be super strong. They'll outlast me, I promise you that. Let's take a peek at them. You guys at home can see them. Not at all shaky. Real nice looking stuff. So we got nine total. One of the viewers, Bad Crispy said, Clifford's lumber in Vermont wants 2325 for hemlock spruce or pine two by eight by 14. The main hemlock has to be worth more. I like it. So 23 times nine gets you 107 and the quarters gets you 210 dollars. So $210 worth of two by eights right there. And then we got three, two by fours. I'm gonna cut out of those later on once I get a couple more two by four slabs to cut out. So you figure we're doing 57 of those, 57 times 2325 is well over $1,000. So we have, it's cost a little bit of money, $5 in gas to mill these and some blades here and there and stuff like that. But for the most part, we're gonna be saving a pile of money on the lumber for this cabin. Things we're planning on buying for wood would be the advanced tech for the subfloor. And it's kind of hard to beat that advanced tech for subfloor and to keep it tight. Make sure you don't have mice and no squeaks or anything like that. We put it down with glue and actually screw it in like every 10, 12 inches or something like that. But I'm here to answer a few more questions, guys. I'll give you a little heads up what's coming up on the channel if I can get in the editing room. It's not easy right now. We're a little bit behind on the milling. So that's why I'm out here. I'll be out here late at night for the next couple of nights. But I just got back yesterday from going up North and I got a pile of content and footage recorded for you guys. I mean, a lot. We went for a little bit over four days hired. Got a couple of special guest appearances that if you've been following the channel closely, you know who it is. If you haven't, you're gonna be in for a surprise. Who was up there doing the work? And we got a ton of work done. Most wilderness camps like that, it's really hard to get a base and a foundation under them. You either got to get lucky and build it in a good spot or you just kind of build on what you have. And then I think that's what leads to a deterioration on a lot of those camps is it doesn't have good ground earthwork and footings and stuff. So what we're gonna do for ours is just too far to pour concrete and not really cost effective to pour a foundation under it or anything like that. And it is just a camp. You know, it's a winter cabin, winter camp in the wilderness. We're gonna, we hauled in hundreds of yards of slate. We went hired, I rented an excavator and a couple borrowed dump trailers and we hauled in a wicked bed of slate and with like mixed in gravel and broken shale. And that's probably, geez, I bet you we got 30 inches of that down at the bottom and maybe 10 inches up top. And then that packs like crazy. Then on top of that, I found a pit off of the land that we're on for different wood owner. And they said they'd sell me gravel for $3 a yard, pick and poke, go get your own. So we had some super nice gravel and top coated. You know, probably, I don't know, I got to believe two to six, two to eight inches depending on where you were. We top coated the rest of it. So that way it's, you know, you can, you're not gonna be slashing tires and you can move it around a little bit. And that's gonna be our parking area and also what we're building off of. So we're way ahead on what we're building from. And we're pretty excited about the foundation that we have under there now. Yeah, hire one of them scoopers, do some editing on your channel and we'll watch when you get to it. Yeah, no, I hear you, I hear you there. I've actually thought about that on for a long time about being able to get more content and create more content and get more stuff to you if I had an editor. And it's really, it's just so hard because of how unique my channel is and how I don't really have, I don't really have a blueprint for how to do it. I'd started a golf channel too. That one's called Joey Shanks if you guys are interested in that stuff. And the golf channel, if I ever wanted to, I could hand the editing off to that to anyone and they'd be able to do a blueprint because you have like whole number one tee shot, whole number two approach shot, whole number three putt and then it's whole number two, it goes in order like that. So there's a pretty easy blueprint, but for the stuff I'm doing with like the winter camp and the ice fishing and the login and stuff that I find interesting that maybe some other editors wouldn't, it's really hard for me to hand over the editing to this channel, but it's something I do think about often and if the right person ever comes around that's proficient and efficient with both the computer, the editing software and what's okay to put on the channel then I'd be definitely down to pay someone to do that and create more content and be able to grow the channel more. But yeah, so I think I'll try to start editing tonight. I'm pretty wiped out today. We handled a bunch of these big guys here. So we had, I think we're down to like 15 more maybe tops, maybe 15, 16, two by eights we gotta do. We need a six by six, 16 footer. That's no light chore. We'll probably mill that tomorrow and then after that we're gonna be hauling this lumber up country real soon and start the build. So really appreciate all you guys supporting the channel. It's gonna be exciting. It's gonna be pretty cool. I'm gonna have it on this channel and my other channel, JH Roughcut is most of the wood stuff and we might go a little bit more in detail on that channel as far as like how to hang rafters or how we build our floor system or how we mill for our own build or stuff like that. We might go into more detail that might bore a lot of my fishing viewers and stuff. So that's why I started that other channel. That one's called JH Roughcut. It's growing pretty good. It's got like 260 subs or something like that. And it's mostly stuff here at the mill or cutting down trees and stuff like that. But a lot of the technical stuff on the build will be on that channel and a lot of the vlogs and the human interest stuff and also some of the building stuff will be on this channel too. So that's what you have to expect in the future guys. Yeah, Donny's doing better. He had a little rough spell up north. He come down sick and the day before our trip and decided that he wasn't gonna miss out and then it was like 90 degrees the whole ride up. No air conditioning. And then we got there and he just immediately jumped into the work and he hadn't drank any fluids all day. And I think the dehydration got him and he laid down about three in the afternoon and that was last time we saw him till about seven in the morning, the next morning. So it's not often he messes dinner and we're cooking dinner. He was hurting pretty bad but he pulled through it. He's a trooper. Hello, bro from Russia. That is so cool. I can't begin to pronounce that. Annex. I'd have to get a translator for a name. I'm gonna guess it's like Alexis. That is awesome. Somebody from Russia is viewing in on this guy. So let's welcome him. I got another viewer from Germany. Roast in Toast is always watching on the channel. It's pretty cool to see how far the channel gets spread worldwide and even across the state too. I got a lot of the guys. It's very humbling to meet like a subscriber viewer and someone who likes the channel. And it's funny for me to get to watch. I've been getting that for years, being humbled by it. But it's really cool to watch like Donnie or Stevie or Brandon or Cameron also get humbled by meeting viewers and hearing stories of stuff that they've liked to watch in the past. So one thing I always do is I always give people the time of day and with a lot of respect. If someone's gonna take a minute out of their day say hi to me, you better believe I'll be taking at least a minute out of mine to return it. So yeah, it was cool on this last trip. We ran into some viewers up in Ashland and also in Bangor and in Portage Lake. So it was pretty cool. But yeah, so we're home for a couple more days. We're gonna be, yeah, there you go, Limeington, Maine. It's awesome seeing all of everybody from all over Maine too. Yeah, we're gonna be milling pretty hard between raindrops the next couple of days. We're bringing it right down to the wire. This hemlock's not gonna get you a chance to dry much. It's gonna be heavy. Rafters are gonna be fun. That's all I'm gonna say. They're gonna be heavy. Two by fours, everything's gonna be heavy on this job but it's gonna be built right. It's gonna be built rugged. And we're gonna have ourselves one heck of an awesome wilderness camp when it's done. That we can snowmobile out of, ice fish out of, deer hunt, bird hunt, all that fun stuff. And like I said guys, we really appreciate all the support from all over the country and all over the state and all over the world really. I might mill that one on the log tonight. I'll probably go off of live here pretty soon. Are you gonna go ice fishing at Cat Hands like this winter? That's a great question. I heard ice sketchy out there. I don't know if it's cause all rock piles are what it is but the boys did ice fish at some last year and it was sketchy. But I think if I get an invitation from my buddies that live on the lake or down East boys, I would never turn it down. The trouble is you got West Grand in that same ballpark and you got East Grand pretty much in that same ballpark as far as I'm concerned. And West Grand's just putting out some incredible fish as far as solid salmon. It's not putting out monster salmon like it had in the past but it's putting out big togue. If you wanna put the work in, you could catch awesome numbers of togue. Good white fish, Staven Lake trout. Staven Lake trout, I've seen a couple big ones caught and Brandon and the boys caught a couple big ones and some of their buddies have caught even bigger ones. And then East Grand's really, I wet my whistle on that lake last winter. That's a video you guys are gonna see coming up pretty soon here, I gotta edit that one. But that was a special fishery with some big Staven trout in there too. So I haven't really planned out this winter yet. The only plan I have right now is Donny and I, we're gonna head out to that ice show, that ice fishing show in St. Paul, Minnesota. Last year it was like December 2nd or December 3rd or something like that. And I had to rush home to get to that at a Sebego bait open house to help out Wayne and Andrew down there. I think I had to be home by like the 10th so I stayed and fished for a couple of days after. But what we're planning this year is not to rush back and Donny and I are gonna, we're gonna do some fishing in Minnesota. See if we can get some walleye topside and vacuum sealed and bring a bunch of them home to eat all winter and we're gonna travel a little bit around Minnesota. Maybe go for a muskie too. I don't know if that's a thing to do out there and all, but the Pan Fishing's out of this world. It was so much fun. Pan Fishing with Sea Hill Chill Guide Service, a buddy of Alex Tim's who's a buddy of mine and the three of us went out and it was just awesome. If you get a chance to watch those videos, I think you guys would enjoy it. That day Alex caught that 25 pound muskie by the tail and it was over an hour and a half fight. But yeah, I'd like to get Donny out there to do that. I'm gonna do, I think I'm gonna do an ice fishing seminar out there in Minnesota. You know, it's where we sleep right on the ice and invite people to join us, you know, with their own tents, of course, we don't have the room in ours, but and we'll take over a cove or a lake or an area of a lake and we'll put on a little seminar and just show people how we do it back east. And I can teach people how to use the life scope and garment and I can even help people out with their electronics if they wanna bring it out. I'm pretty proficient with Humminbird, Lawrence and Ray Marine and any of them really, I can help you with your electronics and then show you guys like what we use for jack traps and how we set up for fish from the east and might be able to help you out there. And we'd be willing to, we would love to learn how you guys ice fish there and meet people and there's no doubt Don, he'd cook his donuts, his world famous donuts one morning on the ice and we'd probably cook some deer steak or some moose steaks on the ice too. So be a good time, be a good great time to meet some of the subscribers from the Minnesota area and spend two or three days on the ice with them if they wanna do that. So that's the plan now, you know, of course you gotta have ice in early December for that. And then I've just seen so much support from Wisconsin on this channel that and I just, everybody I've ever met from Wisconsin and a couple of them even came this summer and stopped by the ice cream shop that I think we're gonna swing over to Wisconsin after and try our hand at some Wisconsin fishing, some pike fishing and maybe get together with the guys from Acme Tackle, they're great guys over there and they're from Wisconsin and the Eskimo guys and maybe do the same thing like a meet and greet, you know, two, three days seminar on the ice. So yeah, so gonna see you and Donnie at the ice fishing show, can't miss, can't miss you this year, but that's for sure. We're probably gonna get over to the Eskimo booth. I know a couple of the guys there that are real good guys for Eskimo and we're gonna probably show you guys how we do our winter setup right there for people who can't come out and meet us on the ice. So you'll definitely wanna check in at the Eskimo 10. I'm usually over at the Garmin tent for a while to pick in their brains on what's coming next or how they could possibly improve. Just blows my mind that you can improve on what they're already doing. But yeah, so, and then you'll see me around the show. It's a three day show and I don't believe you could see it in two days. You know, you gotta be really rushing through to see everything in two days, all the new products and some of the old products and some really cool stuff. So if you're into ice fishing, I highly recommend that show. That blew my mind, you know, it on the Northeast, you know, ice fishing is big, but it's not huge. And I felt like I was right at home with everybody out there. It's huge out in Minnesota out that way. So yeah, so I'll stay on here for a couple more questions guys. If you have any questions or comments or whatever and I'll answer those for you. And then I'm gonna sign off here, head back and start to do some editing from that trip. I don't, it's just monumental amount of content footage and kind of how you gotta put it together. And yeah, it's gonna be a beast, but I gotta get that up pretty soon and that stuff should air while I'm heading back up to do some more and film some more. So feel free guys, any questions. I'll stay on here for a couple more minutes and then I'll head out, but otherwise really appreciate you guys supporting the channel, really support, really appreciate you guys supporting Donnie all the time and dropping comments for him. And he just, he's just an awesome guy that loves doing what he's doing and loves hunting fishing, trapping, camping, loves the outdoors and is really just an excellent builder and a phenomenal human being. So, you know, I really appreciate all support for him and he's like, you know, one of my best friends and mentors, obviously, and love having him on the channel and love seeing, I love seeing all the public responses, you know, whether it be private ones on here or when we're in public, if somebody recognizes them, it still blows his mind when they come up and say hello and he loves talking to everybody. So, yeah, so I guess, I guess we don't really have any questions coming in. Um, well, what else? I went over the plans, mills running, okay. Hopefully we can finish her off here and, uh, yeah, tractors are running, mills running. I gotta bring some fuel and water for tomorrow and we hopefully can dodge that, some raindrops and dodge that hurricane that's heading up to Maine pretty soon. Yeah, I think that's about it. So I don't know if any, if you guys can get through with questions or let me know where you're from, but I shot this one vertical, as you can see, with an iPhone. Let me know also in the comments and I'll be able to see them later if you guys like it vertical or horizontal. I think it's a lot easier for me to get everything in the picture going horizontal, but I don't know how that translates on your phones if you're watching on your phone. So if you let me know, if you'd rather see it vertical or horizontal, if you're watching it on your phones or if you're watching it on, uh, like your televisions or your computers or iPads or something like that, because that's gonna, um, that'll help a lot for how we shoot these lives in the future, because we plan on doing a bunch of them. Zach loves watching that mill run. Yeah, I do too. Can you do more live? Yeah, definitely can do more live, Attila. Like I said, a lot of it comes down to, like, where we have service and I picked up that Elon Musk space link or Starlink or whatever the damn thing's called. And it's spotty. It does work. It's spotty, but it drops a lot. Like it's, it's great drop, great drop. And on a live video, that's awful hard to do. Yeah, the Twin City Ice Fish are so second on. See you guys there watching from Milwaukee. Awesome. Yeah, Milwaukee's a place I gotta come. Yeah, I'd like to fish out in the harbors out there and try to get some of those big brown trout too. I've heard some amazing stories from that. Horizontal is a bet for the big screens, for sure. Yep, and if you guys just let me know if you're watching this on the bigger screens or your phones, then, you know, next time we might shoot this in horizontal rather than in vertical. Attila's from Hungary. This is, that's amazing. It blows my mind to see all the different countries and all over the world that this channel's reaching. You know, and the support we get is incredible. We get a ton of support from our Canadian brothers too. They're some great people. Yep. But yeah, there are some comments popping up. Looks like we got 33 people still on. Got 49 thumbs up, so people did like it. So I'll keep shooting them if people like it and comment on it and thumb it up. You know, I'll keep shooting these in the future. It's a little bit longer to do, you know, stopping and talking between cuts sometimes just to set up alone, but yeah, if people are enjoying them, I'll keep doing them for sure. I know Donny does too. I'm tired, I'm wiped out, I'm not gonna lie. That four days up there was just, phew, that was like a sprint. Some serious hard work getting done, not a lot of sleep getting done and getting home and jumping right into it too. I told the viewers earlier, we milled up two spruce logs that we brought down from up north from the property and those were a pleasure to mill. You know, as green as they were, they're still lighter than the hemlock that's been down for two months and the knots are real small on them and they're clear and not at all shaky and I could see why the mills buy spruce over a hemlock or anything else. But what we have here where Donny and I live and on Donny's wood lot is a lot of hemlock, a lot of white pine and a lot of hardwood. So the best by far for building this camp is gonna be the hemlock. West Grand Baby, I love it. I was just talking with Brandon and Cameron about West Grand and they're just, they're really nervous about the ice there. I guess last year was really tough year on ice and there's no great access point there, you know, coming out by that dam with that moving water. I know Brandon rode a snowmobile down to the bottom there and about 20 foot of water once and I've heard of some other people not making it out there. So it's gotta take a decent year to get back on West Grand but that West Grand Slam series that we shot is still to this day one of my favorite ice fishing series. We just, we caught fish pretty much at will. You know, we caught all the species you could ask for there. We caught big white fish for Maine. We caught big tog. We caught beautiful landlock salmon as many as you could shake a stick at and we caught some beautiful cask too, which you know, you know, I like. So we had some good cast nuggets going around and then the camaraderie on that trip doesn't get much better. So, so yeah. And then we ran into some folks up in Ashland on our way home this trip when we were fueling up and they, they're gonna set up in Chamberlain at the Chamberlain parking lot this year. So Chamberlain's always won. We liked ice fish too. It's, you just got a chance to get a huge native brookie and you catch some big lake trout there too. And you're, you're in the wilderness. So that's what makes it really nice. So I'm sure we'll fish Chamberlain. I'm sure we'll fish West Grand. I've never missed a year on Moosehead, good, bad or indifferent. Moosehead's been tough on me, but I got it this, this last year. I was tough on her this last year. What you guys will see coming up pretty soon. And then I don't know, I mean, I'm always into the chasing giant crappie or state record crappie or state record yellow or white perch. That'd be a lot of fun too. And the bass fishing in Maine's fun. And then you catch brook trout pretty much anywhere. And I wouldn't mind catching some rainbows this year coming up in Maine, but awesome. Attila, well, we wish your dad a happy birthday. He's turning 50 pretty soon. That's great. We're, I'm gonna wait for one, I'll wait for if there's any more questions or comments guys. And I'm gonna shut this live down and yep, 90, 90 minutes. There you go, hour and a half. I'm gonna shut her down. Thank you guys. Thanks a lot for the support. Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you on the next one. Donny and I got some plans for tomorrow. We're gonna do some milling tomorrow. So make sure you tune in for that. Maybe we'll go live in the morning. So if you're at work, I'll give you a little background music. So Attila, have a good night, buddy. Happy birthday to your dad. Everybody else, have a great night. And thanks for tuning in. Thanks for the comments and the thumbs up and hitting the subscribes goes a long way. And then when the live, the live's gonna come back on so people can watch it later, you could always throw a comment on there too. So really appreciate it guys. Zach's coming up to Maine next week for vacation. Any must places or things to do. That's tough one. What are you, I guess no one what areas is a key, but you can never go wrong in the lighthouses in Maine. Going to see in the lighthouses are awesome. The Rockland Breakwater is a really cool one to walk because it's about a mile out. Pemequette Harbor, Pemequette Lighthouse is amazing. The State Museum, if it's open, is well worth seeing. If you're going up North at all and you're near Patton, that Lumberman's Museum is well, well worth it. I hope they're still open. Some things close after Labor Day, but yeah, that Lumberman's Museum. Donnie and I had all we could do to get through that in one day, but yeah, I don't know, I'm trying to think. It's hard when you live in a place, cause you just kind of, you take it for granted and you get to see it every day. But when you travel, there's places that you're like, oh, you gotta go see this, you gotta go see that. But a lot of it depends, Maine's a really big state and a lot of it depends on like what area of Maine you're gonna be in, but if you're around the mid-coast area, stop in at the Jefferson Scoop Ice Cream Shop. I guarantee you won't get a better Scoop Ice Cream, but by better people either, you know, like my staff is there, the nicest, most thoughtful caring people you'll ever meet in business and they're super happy to help anybody and serve anybody. So if you're in the mid-coast area, name of that ice cream place is Jefferson Scoop. Can't ever go wrong there. Tell them you know me, they'll even give you a discount. If I'm there, I'll hook you up. But yeah, I can't think anything else right off hand, you know, to do in Maine just cause it's where I live. So all right, CJ, good to see you buddy. I'm looking forward to getting some fishing in and hearing some bird dog stories and maybe Donny and I can sneak over and chase one of them bird dogs around, Odis or any of them this fall might be fun too if you can work us in for half a day or something like that. But I'm gonna tune around guys, see if I can get in the editing room and go from there. Really appreciate all the support and I'll see you on the next live.
