Jesse Holmes devotes all of his time, money, and resources to his team of sled dogs. Winner racing season will begin soon, and getting his dog lot in working order is a priority. This is going to be one clean open area with everything in rows. It's time to step this up.

The weather is completely changed; we're heading into early winter. The ground's freezing. I can't take this top layer of this ground off of these stumps out in the frozen ground, so timing is everything. It's like with anything up here on you.

I mean, I'm liable to break my leg out here in one of these holes this winter and end my whole mushing career. This has got to become professional and organized so I can deal with it efficiently.

My minimalist productivity setup
