I’ve seen a video of the Ross Farm museum in Canada, where the oxen wore bells while in the yoke. They said pretty much the same thing as Carl only they talked about it when hauling loads on the main travel roads. They said that the roads were so narrow back in them days that you could get stuck and one wagon would have to unload to let the other pass. So the bells would allow them to hear each other from a ways off and then one or the other person would stop in a wide part, wait, and let the other go by.

I live in the Northeast Kingdom, VT. The young man’s family does have a large support network of extended family and community. His family dates back to the settlement of the area, they live on a mountain bearing their name.

“Often times it seems that working together in the same proximity with a large crew is one of the unsafest situations. You are constantly tripping over one another or screaming “heads up”.”

That’s just what my neighbor was saying.

I like to blanket my horse any time he works up a sweat in winter. When the temperature is around 40degrees or less. I put him in the barn and blanket him for 1- 1 1/2 hours. After that I take off the blanket because I think that it is not doing much to benefit him as he is cooled off and the blanket has soaked up moisture. If the weather is very bad (high winds, ice, rain) I may keep him in the barn longer. I keep a few blankets on rotation so I always have a dry one. I have mainly wool blankets and one polar fleece both types wick the sweat well.

Rod-
Do you still have any of that fire hose left?

Thanks for the clear and thorough answer. I have some milling to do and the metal parts to have fabricated but will plan to post pictures when I am done.
