Alaska Brown Bear | Grizzly Bear | Trail Camera Footage | Alaska Homeste...

The other day (night), a young brown bear came in on my trail where camera number 2 is set up....

This camera seems to get the most bear activity. Although it has been pretty quiet this year, I know they are still out there running around..

I don't get them coming into the front yard as much. After nearly 20 years of my dogs running them off I guess they finally gave up...

This bear did not get close enough to sense the chickens.. which is good...

Building a milling station. Milling boards with a bar mill 2022. [super ...

As building materials increase in cost, and the economy worsens, I began milling more and more logs into building lumber. While it is still not cheap to do, taking into account gas and oil and wear on the saw, it has saved me in the cost and trouble of hauling lumber up to the homestead.

Plus there is the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Recently I built a milling station, were I can mill my logs more efficiently, and more importantly.... with greater comfort on my back.

Here is a video of the construction of the milling station. I hope you enjoy....

Test and review of the Pro Venture 12'x9' hex tarp 2021/2022. The best p...

I just uploaded this video of my Pro Venture 12'x9' Hex tarp. This tarp goes with me, strapped to the bottom of my World Famous Sports day pack.

This last summer my tarp took off on an adventure of it's own and made it's way back home all on it's own! Just like Lassie!!... but without the soulful brown eyes..

So if you wish you can hear what happened to my tarp, (I think!), while it was gone...
