More kress testing

Out here on the edge of the wilderness, the land doesn’t ask permission . . . it just acts. We built this corduroy bridge to reach the back of our property and start carving a walking and cycling trail. But after a warm spell and heavy rain, that quiet brook turned wild, ripped the bridge loose, and dragged it 30 feet downstream into a mess of trees and brush.

Hubby headed out to bring it home with nothing but a steel cable, a lifting strap, a come‑along, and a whole lot of stubborn patience. In this video, you’ll see him use his Kress KG343 pruning saw to clear the debris, then wrestle that bridge out of the tangle, drag it back upriver, and set it right where it belongs. And once it was back in place, He made sure it’s secured tight just in case the brook decides to test us again.

23 years ago when we built our current home I bought Hubby a full Dewalt set of tools as pre-payment for his labour - He jokes this turns out to be 53cents an hour LOL. Now with the new homestead on the horizon, hubby invested in a new Milwaukie set - he's like a kid in a candy shop.

I keep hubby well-fueled like on premium treats, and he runs around fixing my car like I’m his favorite customer. 😉

This morning’s project with @buddywhodoesstuff


We set out early to build a corduroy bridge across our brook so we could finally explore the other side of the property. Using trees right next to the site, the bridge came together in about 2.5 hours, a sturdy little passageway made from the land itself - and a bit of muscle from hubby.


By afternoon, we couldn’t resist crossing over to see what awaited us. We spent about an hour wandering and planning for walking and cycling trails winding through the woods, crop plots and wild rice patches, fruit tree groves bursting with potential, maple stands that promise sweet syrup in seasons to come and what the heck we'll do with no soil and thousands of boulders. Life is always a challenge.


We just opened a new chapter of the homestead, one log at a time. The bridge isn’t just wood laid across a brook, it’s our new gateway to future adventures, harvests, and trails waiting to be carved.
