A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm (Pt. 3)

So thankful You’ve taken time to share in our ride! 

In A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 1 and A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 2 You got to see how we’re turning our Woodlands to Pasture and later to Gardens with the help of our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and our Berkshire Tamworth Pigs. How we’re making fencing from up-cycling old Mink Cages, and even how much of a slope we have on certain parts of Briden Farm. In fact, You even discovered that sometimes I think it’s better to turn the camera off and concentrate on our driving! 

Now, get ready for A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 3. In Part 3 You’ll see the conclusion, you’ll see how far I got, and get a sneak peek at the journey back! 

Thanks so much for watching our videos! I learnt a few things making this three part series of A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm. One thing is, now that we’ve got Fibe from Bell it takes minutes, not hours, to upload videos! This means that next time, I can do a long length video and know that it’s possible to get it uploaded! It also makes me think it might be nice to have a GoPro camera and some related equipment to make even better videos! Not sure how soon we can do that, but with your support maybe it’ll happen sooner rather than later!

A Tractor Ride Pt. 2

So, hopefully you’re here after watching A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 1. In that video You saw a bit of how we’re changing Woodlands into Pasture and soon to be Gardens. You also saw how we are up cycling old Mink Cages, and turning them into Fencing! Plus a little look at some of our animals. At the end of Part One, I actually chickened out, due to the steep terrain and decided I better stop filming and concentrate on my driving!  

Now in A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Pt. 2 you’ll get to see what happens next, and find out how far I was able to go… hint… it was further than ever before! 

Here’s Part Two…

Hope You enjoyed that!?

Cutting And Hauling Wood

Hauling And Cutting Firewood

Never. Dull moment at Briden Farm, and in this video You’ll see me bringing out an 8 foot log with my 1979 International Lo Boy Tractor. 

What it doesn’t show is how, or where, I’m cutting. It also doesn’t tell you that prior to getting our Stihl chainsaw last Fall, I hadn’t used one in about 35 Years! Or, that even back then it was only one afternoon while helping a friend trim some saplings in his backyard.

Likewise, I probably haven’t drove a tractor in 40 Years!,

So, it’s incredible to me to be able to cut trees, on our own land, on a hillside! To be able to get around, maneuvering around trees, and obstacles, on a Hillside!

Now, this is no gentle rolling field, it’s old switchback roads, on a steep grade, with somewhat composted, soft leaf covered, soil. So there’s a bit of back sliding, a bit of praying, and a whole lot of hoping!

However, cutting trees, clearing pasture, and eventually after running our Goats and Pigs through it, turning it into Gardens, while hauling logs to make firewood and maybe even some lumber, sure comes with a real sense of accomplishment, and it all helps us become even more self reliant!
