This week on the homestead we built a new firewood rack, got through the last of the firewood pile, and felled some trees to clear more of a view in front of the cabin (sick and all!). If you are new to off grid heating and felling trees, we show you how we like to do it. We also talked about clearing land and how we did it on past homesteads, took a trip to the spring to refill our water, restocked on fuel at the local trading post, and cooked some delicous food over the fire!
Thank you for following our journey on the last frontier!
