Challenges of Mobile Sawmilling! First, the host removes the cover over the debarker and then the main blade cover on the Wood-Mizer sawmill. He explains the debarker cleans the wood before the main blade to extend blade life. He then loosens the blade tension using a handle on the side of the mill, allowing the old blade to be easily removed. A new blade is carefully installed, ensuring the teeth are oriented correctly to pull sawdust away from the cut. After installing, the blade tension is re-adjusted and checked with a pressure gauge to be within the recommended 2800-3000 PSI range. The mill is briefly started to stretch the new blade, and the tension is re-checked and adjusted as needed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-AstYgXV5w4 286 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-have-no-one-to-blame-but-myself-challenges-of-mobile-sawmilling-v14605983/preparing-logs-and-leveling-the-mill-c3945522 2026-10-24T03:30:33.670Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-AstYgXV5w4/hqdefault.jpg Preparing Logs and Leveling the Mill — I have no one to blame but myself! Challenges of Mobile Sawmi The host criticizes the log placement, noting that the largest logs were placed at the top of a hill, making them difficult and dangerous to move. He explains that these logs will roll faster and could damage the mill if not handled carefully. He demonstrates using a simple crank handle (stored on the mill itself) to raise one side of the sawmill, leveling it on the uneven terrain. The host also identifies logs that are too small or twisted to produce usable lumber, categorizing them as firewood. He uses a 'Log Ox' (3-in-1 forestry tool) to physically roll these unsuitable logs away from the milling area. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-AstYgXV5w4 355 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-have-no-one-to-blame-but-myself-challenges-of-mobile-sawmilling-v14605983/milling-logs-into-lumber-c3945523 2026-10-24T03:30:33.670Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-AstYgXV5w4/hqdefault.jpg Milling Logs into Lumber — I have no one to blame but myself! Challenges of Mobile Sawmilling! The host and his helper begin the milling process. They load the first log onto the sawmill's arms. The first cut creates an initial slab, and subsequent cuts are made to shape the log. The host demonstrates how a bent log can cause the wood to 'pop up' during cutting, making it only suitable for dunnage (support timbers) rather than finished lumber. He measures and cuts the dunnage into 4-foot lengths using the Husqvarna Power Axe. The time-lapse then shows the team efficiently working together to mill several logs, transforming them into various dimensions of lumber like 2x8s, 1x6s, and 2x12s, which are stacked neatly to the side. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-AstYgXV5w4 541 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-have-no-one-to-blame-but-myself-challenges-of-mobile-sawmilling-v14605983/reviewing-milled-lumber-c3945524 2026-10-24T03:30:33.670Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-AstYgXV5w4/hqdefault.jpg Reviewing Milled Lumber — I have no one to blame but myself!

Attach a tow rope (such as a hemp rope) or chain from the feeder to an ATV's hitch. Due to its slick, curved bottom, the feeder slides easily across the pasture. Drive the ATV slowly to move the feeder to the next designated grazing paddock. In regenerative grazing, cattle are typically moved to new sections of pasture twice daily, and the mineral feeder is moved with them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DFk2PE9Lmg0 123 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/ive-been-doing-it-wrongbut-nobody-is-teaching-this-about-farming-v14605985/strategic-feeder-placement-and-observation-of-cattle-behavior-c3946407 2026-10-24T03:32:15.195Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DFk2PE9Lmg0/hqdefault.jpg Strategic Feeder Placement and Observation of Cattle Behavior — I've been doing it wrong....But nobo Once the feeder is in the new paddock, observe the cattle as they immediately approach and consume the minerals. Strategically place the feeder in areas where you want to encourage soil improvement. For example, if there's a spot with less desirable plants or 'weeds' (like Sericea Lespedeza, a legume that fixes nitrogen but is less palatable), position the feeder there. The cattle will gather around the feeder, trampling the less desirable plants with their hooves and depositing nutrient-rich manure and urine, which stimulates the growth of healthier grasses. This method works in conjunction with rotational grazing and the application of 'Super Soil' (a microbial inoculant) to enhance soil microbes and nutrient cycling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DFk2PE9Lmg0 195 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/tool-tuesday-husqvarna-chainsaw-lineup-challenge-shorts-husqvarna-v14605987 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mk8_1pIgSkA/hqdefault.jpg Tool Tuesday: Husqvarna Chainsaw Lineup Challenge! #shorts #husqvarna #farming This video showcases a series of Husqvarna chainsaws (models 440, 450 Rancher, 460, and Power Ax Electric) performing rapid crosscuts on a large log.

He emphasizes the importance of providing access to shade, especially in warm weather, as cows tend to bunch together for shelter and fly protection. He uses a Honda Pioneer side-by-side to reach the pasture. He explains his 'no back fence' rotational grazing method, where cows are moved to fresh grass without a fence preventing them from returning to previously grazed areas. This method encourages cows to 'move, mob, mow' – eating one-third, trampling one-third, and leaving one-third for soil enrichment, mimicking natural herd behavior to build soil structure and carbon. He uses a portable electric fence (poly braid/poly wire) with a specific MiraFount 3390 frost-free waterer that allows cows to push a blue ball for water access, keeping it clean and preventing freezing. Calves can also access water by removing a bolt from the ball, making it easier for them to push. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ckNuwGOT4nk 3413 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/heres-the-mess-my-neighbor-left-in-my-field-what-would-you-do-v14605995/mow-overgrown-pasture-for-soil-health-c3946882 2026-10-24T03:32:49.476Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ckNuwGOT4nk/hqdefault.jpg Mow Overgrown Pasture for Soil Health — Here's the mess my neighbor left in my field? What would you Driving the TYM T1104 tractor with the Woods Batwing mower, the farmer begins clearing a large, overgrown pasture. He explains that this specific area is not suitable for baling hay due to the presence of 'garbage' hay, native grasses, weeds, briars, and broom sedge. Instead, the mowing process serves as 'green manure,' feeding biological material back into the soil to improve its health and structure. Broom sedge is identified as an indicator of poor soil pH (around 4), and mowing helps to rehabilitate the land. He navigates carefully around planted pine trees, highlighting the mower's power and versatility. The process involves meticulous turning, favoring right-hand turns to prevent the PTO shaft from binding and damaging equipment. He acknowledges that mowing this extensive and challenging pasture will take approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ckNuwGOT4nk 38 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/the-farm-that-changed-why-im-not-running-my-farm-like-grandpa-did-v14605996 2026-10-24T03:32:09.277Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/itM72e9dy6k/hqdefault.jpg The Farm That Changed: Why I'm Not Running My Farm Like Grandpa Did This video provides a comprehensive look into the daily routine and DIY projects on a regenerative farm, focusing on sustainable practices.

Some help on the farm! Fencing time! The presenter begins by introducing the project, which involves installing a woven wire fence. He specifically mentions the type of fence being used: 'Titan 13-48-12 fixed knot woven wire fence'. This designation means the fence has 13 horizontal line wires, is 48 inches (4 feet) high, and has 12-inch spacing between vertical stay wires. The goal is to tie this fence securely to steel posts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SayhCCeFw2E 48 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/finally-some-help-on-the-farm-fencing-time-v14606003/understanding-tying-principles-and-tie-orientation-c3945161 2026-10-24T04:42:42.288Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SayhCCeFw2E/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Tying Principles and Tie Orientation — Finally! Some help on the farm! Fencing time! Before tying the fence, it's crucial to understand several key principles. The presenter explains that the bottom wire of the fence should generally be about 3 to 4 inches (a 'boot thickness') off the ground. If the fence wire is currently high in the air and needs to be pulled down to meet the post, you should start tying from the bottom wire upwards. Conversely, if the fence is lying on the ground and needs to be lifted to meet the post, you should start tying from the top wire downwards. The fence ties must always be oriented horizontally along the fence line (either facing left or right), never straight out from the post or straight in towards the post, as this can lead to snagging and damage by equipment like mowers. While each post has 13 horizontal wires, typically only about 5 ties are needed per post in easy sections, but all 13 may be required in areas needing maximum tension. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SayhCCeFw2E 149 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/finally-some-help-on-the-farm-fencing-time-v14606003/demonstrating-fence-tie-installation-on-easy-sections-c3945162 2026-10-24T04:42:42.288Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SayhCCeFw2E/hqdefault.jpg Demonstrating Fence Tie Installation on Easy Sections — Finally! Some help on the farm! Fencing time For sections of the fence that are relatively straight and easy to manage, the presenter demonstrates the standard method of installing fence ties. One person holds the fence tightly against the steel post at the desired height. Another person then uses a cordless drill equipped with a specialized tie-twisting bit to quickly and securely wrap the wire ties around the post and the fence wire. It's crucial to ensure the bottom smooth wire of the fence is also tied for double security. The process involves placing the tie around the post and the selected horizontal fence wire, inserting the ends into the twisting bit, and using the drill to twist them tightly. Typically, 5 evenly spaced ties are installed along the post for these easy sections. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SayhCCeFw2E 208 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/finally-some-help-on-the-farm-fencing-time-v14606003/applying-significant-tension-with-heavy-machinery-c3945163 2026-10-24T04:42:42.288Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SayhCCeFw2E/hqdefault.jpg Applying Significant Tension with Heavy Machinery — Finally! Some help on the farm! Fencing time! In areas where the fence wire is significantly higher than the desired ground clearance (e.g., due to terrain or slack) and cannot be manually pulled down, heavy machinery is employed to apply the necessary tension. A Gehl RT210 Gen3 skid steer, fitted with pallet forks, is used for this task. A heavy chain is secured to the pallet forks and then attached to a section of the woven wire fence. The skid steer then slowly backs away, carefully pulling the fence wire downwards and outwards, applying immense tension to bring it to the desired height (about 3-4 inches from the ground). Once the tension is applied, the fence is held in place by the machine, allowing workers to proceed with tying. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SayhCCeFw2E 249 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/finally-some-help-on-the-farm-fencing-time-v14606003/securing-the-fence-under-high-tension-c3945164 2026-10-24T04:42:42.288Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SayhCCeFw2E/hqdefault.jpg Securing the Fence Under High Tension — Finally! Some help on the farm! Fencing time! Once a section of fence is under significant tension from the skid steer, two individuals work together to quickly and securely tie the fence wire to the steel posts. One person positions and holds the fence tightly against the post, ensuring the correct 3 to 4-inch ground clearance. The other person uses the cordless drill with the tie-twisting bit to install the wire ties. For these high-tension areas, it is often necessary to tie all 13 horizontal line wires to the post to distribute the load and maintain the fence's integrity. The ties are twisted until very tight, securing the fence firmly to the post against the strong pull of the machinery. After tying, the tension from the skid steer is released. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SayhCCeFw2E no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/new-farm-tool-is-a-game-changer-spraying-microbes-on-the-pastures-v14606004 2026-10-24T03:31:51.375Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aHKRMbGBf9Y/hqdefault.jpg New farm tool is a game changer!

Veg The farmer explains that when he acquired his farm, it had 'zero topsoil' due to intensive tobacco farming, which leaves 'bare, sterile land' between plants. He argues that 'nothing is a substitute for a grazing ruminant animal' when it comes to building soil life, microbes, structure, grass, and crops. He claims that if we continue squandering topsoil with energy-intensive, fertilizer-intensive systems, we will destroy our nation. He highlights that countries like the UK restrict practices common in the US because they understand their detrimental effect on topsoil. The farmer shares his personal experience of being vegan for a year, drinking almond milk and eating no animal products, until he learned about ecology. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OP0uNH64j3Q 159 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-need-to-know-this-about-farming-veganisms-horrible-effects-on-v14606011/unpacking-the-costs-of-intensive-plantbased-agriculture-c3953741 2026-10-24T04:52:33.742Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OP0uNH64j3Q/hqdefault.jpg Unpacking the Costs of Intensive Plant-Based Agriculture — YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS ABOUT FARMING! Vega The farmer emphasizes that if consumers want their nation's topsoil to last for future generations, they need to listen to how food is produced. He explains that current plant-based food systems rely on 'intensive crop farming,' which includes tillage and the use of commercial, petroleum-based fertilizers. He describes genetically modified (GM) crops, like 'Roundup Ready' corn, which are engineered to withstand pesticides, allowing them to be 'sprayed with poison' and fed to humans or animals. He stresses that grains and cotton in the US are largely genetically modified and heavily subsidized by taxpayer dollars. He argues that even if not eating animals, consumers are still indirectly supporting these systems that use GM crops, chemicals, and energy-intensive processes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OP0uNH64j3Q 275 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-need-to-know-this-about-farming-veganisms-horrible-effects-on-v14606011/the-cycle-of-destruction-in-conventional-farming-c3953743 2026-10-24T04:52:33.742Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OP0uNH64j3Q/hqdefault.jpg The Cycle of Destruction in Conventional Farming — YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS ABOUT FARMING! Veganism's h The farmer elaborates on the cycle of destruction in conventional farming: tilling the land, planting seeds, harvesting, then planting a cover crop (if lucky), and finally applying chemical treatments and burning diesel fuel for these processes. He compares tillage to cutting skin, creating a 'wound' in the soil that invites 'infection' (weeds), which then necessitates spraying with herbicides. He explains that this process destroys beneficial microbes, earthworms, and wildlife crucial for soil health. He contends that this 'intensive system' is unsustainable, constantly fighting Mother Nature, and prioritizes feeding the world over ecological balance. He also questions the origin of ingredients in highly processed vegan foods like tofu (soybeans), noting they are often grown in similar monoculture systems. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OP0uNH64j3Q 310 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-need-to-know-this-about-farming-veganisms-horrible-effects-on-v14606011/conclusion-and-call-to-action-for-sustainable-choices-c3953744 2026-10-24T04:52:33.742Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OP0uNH64j3Q/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Call to Action for Sustainable Choices — YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS ABOUT FARMING! Veganis Concluding his argument, the farmer reiterates that there is no 'good ecosystem' without a 'keystone predator' (which he identifies as humans, within a responsible framework) and a 'keystone grazing animal' (ruminants like cows). He asserts that if one believes cows are destroying the world, they are mistaken. Instead of large herds of bison, we now have domesticated cattle, and he suggests fencing in croplands to allow these animals to graze, which would decrease the need for chemical sprays, fertilizers, and diesel fuel. He urges viewers to 'think about it' and understand the intensive process behind factory-made plant-based foods, such as veggie burgers, which often involve burning coal to power factories. He encourages conscious consumer choices: 'buy quality,' 'go to the farmer's market,' and seek out non-GMO, organic, and sustainably raised food and animal products. He concludes by stating that if you are vegan for chivalrous reasons to 'save animal lives,' you are actually 'destroying lives' by destroying soil. He emphasizes building soil health by having the right plants grow naturally. He ends by encouraging viewers to understand the system they are buying into and to know their farmer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OP0uNH64j3Q 410 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dont-do-this-to-your-zero-turn-mower-v14606012 2026-10-24T04:53:01.226Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sCYOFB2D_x0/hqdefault.jpg Don't Do This To Your Zero Turn Mower!

The video highlights that grass acts as a 'gigantic solar panel,' converting sunlight into energy that feeds the plant's root system. The health of the above-ground plant growth directly reflects the health of the soil below. This approach rejects conventional industrial farming methods that rely on antibiotics and confined spaces, instead promoting natural environments where animals can thrive. The ultimate goal is to build healthy topsoil, enhance biodiversity, and reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. https://www.youtube.com/embed/edm0kFHArSo 81 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-wont-believe-how-raising-cattle-like-this-has-saved-our-farm-v14606029/implement-rotational-mob-grazing-for-pasture-revitalization-c3946840 2026-10-24T03:32:46.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edm0kFHArSo/hqdefault.jpg Implement Rotational (Mob) Grazing for Pasture Revitalization — You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle Begin by setting up electric fence lines to create small, temporary paddocks within your larger pasture areas. The video demonstrates moving cattle to a fresh paddock twice a day, a process that takes only a few minutes. This 'mob grazing' technique ensures that cattle consume approximately one-third of the available forage, leave one-third standing, and trample the remaining one-third. The trampled organic matter, along with the manure and urine distributed across the pasture, acts as a potent natural fertilizer. This continuous movement prevents overgrazing, allowing plants ample time to recover, and naturally corrects soil pH, reducing the need for artificial soil amendments. The frequent rotation also disrupts parasite life cycles, contributing to healthier livestock without the need for chemical de-wormers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/edm0kFHArSo 268 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-wont-believe-how-raising-cattle-like-this-has-saved-our-farm-v14606029/utilize-chicken-tractors-for-soil-enrichment-c3946841 2026-10-24T03:32:46.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edm0kFHArSo/hqdefault.jpg Utilize Chicken Tractors for Soil Enrichment — You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle Like This Has Sa Start by 'hardening off' baby chicks in a controlled environment, gradually acclimating them to cooler temperatures. Once feathered out, place them in 'egg-mobiles' or chicken tractors – movable, bottomless enclosures – on your lawn. These chicken tractors are regularly moved across shorter grass areas, allowing the chickens to forage naturally. As they peck and scratch, chickens consume grass, clover, bugs, and worms, converting these into nitrogen-rich manure. This manure is directly deposited onto the lawn, providing excellent organic fertilization and stimulating new grass growth. The chickens' scratching also helps to aerate the soil and control pests, contributing to a lush, healthy lawn without the need for synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/edm0kFHArSo 101 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-wont-believe-how-raising-cattle-like-this-has-saved-our-farm-v14606029/practice-bale-grazing-for-organic-matter-natural-seeding-c3946842 2026-10-24T03:32:46.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edm0kFHArSo/hqdefault.jpg Practice Bale Grazing for Organic Matter & Natural Seeding — You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle Li Instead of using hay rings (which can create mud holes and compacted 'dead spots'), employ a method of 'bale grazing' or 'unrolling hay.' Use an ATV or similar vehicle with a hay unroller attachment to spread large round hay bales across the desired areas. As the hay is distributed, seeds present in the hay (often desirable forage varieties) naturally fall onto the ground, effectively contributing to 'eco-friendly seeding.' The leftover hay forms a 'litter' layer that covers the soil, acting as a natural mulch. This litter is crucial for soil health: it holds moisture, protects the soil from direct sun and erosion, and creates a favorable environment for beneficial microbes to thrive. This process ensures continuous feeding of the soil with organic matter, leading to drought-tolerant and highly productive grass stands. https://www.youtube.com/embed/edm0kFHArSo 16 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-wont-believe-how-raising-cattle-like-this-has-saved-our-farm-v14606029/cultivate-polyculture-pastures-for-biodiversity-c3946843 2026-10-24T03:32:46.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edm0kFHArSo/hqdefault.jpg Cultivate Polyculture Pastures for Biodiversity — You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle Like This Has Rather than planting a single type of grass (monoculture), aim to establish a polyculture pasture. The video explicitly mentions varieties like fescue, clover, chickweed, and orchard grass. This diversity provides a broad spectrum of nutrients for grazing animals, much like a 'salad bar,' ensuring they receive a balanced diet. A varied plant community also contributes to soil health by encouraging a wider range of microbial activity and root structures, which in turn improves nutrient cycling and soil stability. This approach creates a robust ecosystem that is less susceptible to pests and diseases, fostering a naturally self-sustaining environment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/edm0kFHArSo 56 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-wont-believe-how-raising-cattle-like-this-has-saved-our-farm-v14606029/maintain-optimal-grazing-height-for-plant-health-recovery-c3946844 2026-10-24T03:32:46.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edm0kFHArSo/hqdefault.jpg Maintain Optimal Grazing Height for Plant Health & Recovery — You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle L During mob grazing, a critical aspect of eco-friendly grass management is to prevent animals from consuming grass too low. The goal is for cows to 'nip the tops' of the most palatable forage. This leaves sufficient leaf area for the plant to continue efficient photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy. When grass is grazed too short, its ability to photosynthesize is severely hindered, stunting its growth and recovery. By maintaining an optimal grazing height, you ensure that the plants can quickly regrow, contributing more energy back into the soil and supporting continuous, vigorous grass production. https://www.youtube.com/embed/edm0kFHArSo 82 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-wont-believe-how-raising-cattle-like-this-has-saved-our-farm-v14606029/provide-natural-mineral-supplementation-for-livestock-health-c3946845 2026-10-24T03:32:46.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edm0kFHArSo/hqdefault.jpg Provide Natural Mineral Supplementation for Livestock Health — You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle Introduce a 'cafeteria-style' free-choice mineral feeder in your pastures.

The video demonstrates using a 400-gallon Rubbermaid stock tank as the brooder enclosure. This size is recommended for housing 100-150 chicks comfortably, whereas a 100-gallon steel stock tank would accommodate about 50 birds. Line the bottom of the stock tank with sawdust, providing a soft and absorbent bedding material for the chicks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6R3GYwQPh9E 24 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/everything-you-need-to-know-about-raising-baby-chickens-simple-easy-v14606042/install-heat-lamp-for-warmth-c3797706 2026-10-23T00:21:57.952Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6R3GYwQPh9E/hqdefault.jpg Install Heat Lamp for Warmth — Everything you need to know about raising baby chickens, simple, easy Install a heat lamp within the brooder. The video shows using a standard light fixture (heat lamp hood) with a fluorescent bulb. Due to the warm ambient temperature, a low-heat fluorescent bulb is sufficient, but a 250-watt red or white heat lamp bulb is typically used. Attach the heat lamp to a metal bar (a piece of square steel tubing is used here) using zip ties to create a hanging mechanism. This bar is then secured across the top of the stock tank using Irwin Quick-Grip clamps. This setup allows for easy adjustment of the heat lamp's height, which in turn controls the temperature experienced by the chicks. Chicks require a temperature of 95-98°F (35-37°C) for the first few days, gradually decreasing. If chicks huddle directly under the light, they are too cold; if they spread far from it, they are too hot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6R3GYwQPh9E 163 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/everything-you-need-to-know-about-raising-baby-chickens-simple-easy-v14606042/prepare-waterers-with-rocks-c3797710 2026-10-23T00:21:57.952Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6R3GYwQPh9E/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Waterers with Rocks — Everything you need to know about raising baby chickens, simple, easy Fill chicken waterers with fresh, clean water. It's crucial to add small rocks or pebbles (like gravel from a driveway) to the water dish. This prevents the baby chicks from accidentally drowning, as they can easily fall into and get stuck in deep water. Baby chicks are very fragile and seek warm, wet spots, making them susceptible to drowning in open water. Use clean stones or gravel that won't contaminate the water. Place the waterer on a piece of cardboard to prevent chicks from kicking sawdust into the water, which helps maintain cleanliness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6R3GYwQPh9E 108 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/everything-you-need-to-know-about-raising-baby-chickens-simple-easy-v14606042/prepare-feeder-with-chick-starter-c3797715 2026-10-23T00:21:57.952Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6R3GYwQPh9E/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Feeder with Chick Starter — Everything you need to know about raising baby chickens, simple, Fill a chick feeder (a long, narrow feeder with multiple openings is used here) with chick starter feed. The video recommends a 20% protein chick starter, specifically 'crumbles'. This initial feeder is for newly arrived chicks who are learning to eat. As chicks grow, hanging feeders will be used to prevent them from kicking bedding into their food. Also, it's mentioned to use pine shavings, avoiding cedar shavings, as the latter can put more dust in the air. The coarser grit shavings are preferred to reduce dust. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6R3GYwQPh9E 12 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/everything-you-need-to-know-about-raising-baby-chickens-simple-easy-v14606042/place-waterers-and-feeders-c3797716 2026-10-23T00:21:57.952Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6R3GYwQPh9E/hqdefault.jpg Place Waterers and Feeders — Everything you need to know about raising baby chickens, simple, easy a Carefully place the prepared waterers and feeders into the brooder.

Gently tilt each box to allow the chicks to walk out into the brooder. Observe them as they enter; they are naturally curious and will immediately start exploring, pecking at the feed, and drinking water. It is normal for chicks to huddle together, as they are flock animals and find comfort and warmth in groups, especially after shipping. It's important to understand that chicks are very fragile; handle them minimally and wash hands thoroughly after contact due to the risk of salmonella, which naturally occurs in chicken guts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6R3GYwQPh9E 171 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/caught-on-camera-strange-black-object-in-the-cow-pastureis-it-moving-v14606043 2026-10-23T00:22:10.214Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7v1d6ZxbbQw/hqdefault.jpg Caught on camera!

Josh uses mediums for consistency. 4. **Frames with Foundation:** These are new frames with wax foundation where bees will build honeycombs. Josh installs five frames in his 8-frame hive, leaving space for three additional frames. 5. **Screened Top Board:** This goes on top of the super, providing ventilation. 6. **Lid:** The final metal cover for weather protection. 7. **Entrance Reducer:** A wooden piece with multiple sized openings, inserted into the hive entrance. For new colonies, the smallest opening is used to help the bees guard the entrance. A small amount of grass is stuffed into the entrance to temporarily block it, encouraging the bees to chew their way out and acclimate to their new home. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kEZmOWnNz4k 250 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/honey-bees-vanish-so-disappointingwhy-we-almost-lost-them-all-v14606049/install-honeybee-package-c3945185 2026-10-24T04:42:35.491Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kEZmOWnNz4k/hqdefault.jpg Install Honeybee Package — Honey Bees Vanish!

He removes the food can from the top of the package and then gently shakes the bees down to the bottom. He carefully takes out the queen cage, identifies the queen (marked with a red dot), and removes the cork from the candy end of her cage. He places the queen cage between two frames in the hive, with the candy end exposed for the worker bees to release her gradually. He then vigorously shakes the remaining bees from the package directly into the hive. After all bees are in, he gently pushes the frames together, adds a pollen patty on top, places the screened top board, and finally the lid. He also mentions that he experienced a sting on his finger and immediately scraped the stinger off, as the pheromones released can incite other bees to sting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kEZmOWnNz4k no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/amazing-how-to-build-a-utility-trailer-in-10-mins-v14606050 2026-10-24T03:29:22.960Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CIeLxsIk6wE/hqdefault.jpg Amazing!

He highlights 'SuperSoil', a 100% natural organic fertilizer free of chemicals, which he intends to test. He stresses that traditional lawn care practices of aeration, dethatching, and applying petroleum-based fertilizers destroy the natural ecosystem. Instead, he advocates for leaving grass clippings on the lawn to return carbon to the soil, stimulating root structure and growth. He advises users to research their specific grass type's pH needs, perform soil tests, and use organic options to correct nutrient deficiencies. The key is to manage the soil's ecosystem and pH rather than constantly fertilizing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/doiZDHJjZO4 306 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-the-heck-is-that-tools-tractors-and-machines-never-seen-v14606065 2026-10-24T03:29:14.415Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BrpEGzWLnHA/hqdefault.jpg What the heck is that?

This cut should be made horizontally, slightly above the horizontal plane of the undercut. Do not cut completely through the tree; instead, leave a hinge of wood (typically about 1/10th of the tree's diameter) between the felling cut and the undercut. This hinge is vital for guiding the tree. As the cut progresses, the tree will begin to lean, creak, or show signs of movement. The operator in the video demonstrates excellent safety practice by quickly removing the ECHO chainsaw from the cut at the 0:03.900 mark, engaging the chain brake or turning it off, and immediately retreating along the pre-planned escape path, while observing the tree's fall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/opj2NBQeSTM 5 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dropping-huge-red-oak-shorts-chainsawman-v14606093/observe-and-confirm-tree-fall-c1804919 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/opj2NBQeSTM/hqdefault.jpg Observe and Confirm Tree Fall — dropping huge red oak #shorts #chainsawman As the tree begins its descent (visible from 0:05.640 in the video), continue to move quickly along your escape path while keeping your eyes on the falling tree.

Easy quick Long term storage...without refrigeration Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven is preheated, carefully place the Pyrex dishes containing the seasoned chicken into the oven. Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The goal is not to fully cook the chicken but to get a little color on the pieces and encourage the release of natural juices. This pre-cooking step, or blanching, is crucial for achieving a good seal during the canning process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-dGb6yfkkE 72 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-can-chicken-easy-quick-long-term-storagewithout-refrigeration-v14606098/sterilize-jars-and-warm-lidsrings-c3946895 2026-10-24T03:32:47.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f-dGb6yfkkE/hqdefault.jpg Sterilize Jars and Warm Lids/Rings — How to can chicken!

Use tongs to transfer the chicken pieces from the baking dishes into the warm, sterilized canning jars. Pack the chicken down gently to ensure a good fill. Next, pour the warm water (which was heated earlier in the small pot) over the chicken in the jars. If the chicken released a significant amount of juice during baking, you can also pour these flavorful juices into the jars. Ensure you leave approximately 1 inch of headspace from the top of the jar to allow for expansion during pressure canning. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-dGb6yfkkE 232 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-can-chicken-easy-quick-long-term-storagewithout-refrigeration-v14606098/seal-and-pressure-can-jars-c3946897 2026-10-24T03:32:47.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f-dGb6yfkkE/hqdefault.jpg Seal and Pressure Can Jars — How to can chicken! Easy quick Long term storage...without refrigeratio After filling each jar, wipe the rim clean to ensure a good seal. Retrieve a warm lid from the small pot using a magnetic lid lifter and place it onto the jar. Then, take a warm ring and screw it onto the jar, tightening it 'grandma tight' (snug but not excessively tight, allowing air to escape). This allows the jar to 'burp' out air to create a vacuum seal. Carefully place the filled and lidded jars into the pressure canner. If you don't have enough jars to fill the canner, you can use an empty jar filled with water in any empty spots to prevent other jars from moving around. Close the pressure canner and bring it up to pressure. Once the canner starts to jiggle, indicating 7 pounds of pressure, lower the heat to medium-low and set a timer for 35 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-dGb6yfkkE 105 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-can-chicken-easy-quick-long-term-storagewithout-refrigeration-v14606098/cool-dry-and-label-jars-c3946898 2026-10-24T03:32:47.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f-dGb6yfkkE/hqdefault.jpg Cool, Dry, and Label Jars — How to can chicken! Easy quick Long term storage...without refrigeration Once the 35 minutes of canning are complete, turn off the heat but do not open the pressure canner immediately. Allow the canner to cool down naturally until the pressure indicator drops and the safety latch releases. This slow depressurization is crucial to prevent liquid loss from the jars and ensure a strong seal. Once the canner is safe to open, carefully remove the lid. Using jar lifter tongs, extract each hot jar and place it on a heat-resistant surface, like a cutting board or a towel-covered counter, away from drafts. Using a clean towel, dry the tops and sides of the jars, being careful not to disturb the lids. Once they are dry, you can gently tighten the rings. Let the jars sit undisturbed for 24-48 hours to fully seal. After confirming all seals are good (the lids should be concave and not flex when pressed), label each jar with the contents (e.g., 'Breast Chicken') and the canning date (e.g., '1/23'). Store in a cool, dark place. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-dGb6yfkkE 151 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/could-have-been-alot-worsehit-the-new-shop-building-v14606100 2026-10-24T03:32:10.417Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kqlxBTERvmY/hqdefault.jpg Could have been alot worse.…hit the new shop building!

Let's get out the BIG TRACTOR! The video introduces the primary task: spreading cow manure over the pasture using a tractor and a drag harrow. Before attaching the drag harrow, the existing Woods Batwing mower, which was previously used, needs to be disconnected from the TYM T1104 tractor. This involves manually jacking up the mower's hitch, disconnecting the Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft, and detaching all hydraulic lines from the tractor's rear hydraulic ports. The PTO shaft is a mechanical power output from the tractor, and the hydraulic lines control various functions of the attached implement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CKQLzRNTh7A 69 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-a-mess-lets-get-out-the-big-tractor-v14606104/introduce-and-prepare-drag-harrow-c3944783 2026-10-24T03:29:33.342Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CKQLzRNTh7A/hqdefault.jpg Introduce and Prepare Drag Harrow — What a mess! Let's get out the BIG TRACTOR! The primary tool for compost application is the Wingfield American Harrow Batwing Drag Harrow. This drag harrow is designed to cover a wide area, approximately 18 feet, and can be hydraulically folded and unfolded for transport and operation. It features a robust metal chain and tine mesh that effectively breaks down and spreads solid manure pats. Before connecting to the tractor, the operator removes the three main hitch pins from the drag harrow's attachment points, preparing it for the tractor's 3-point hitch system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CKQLzRNTh7A 85 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-a-mess-lets-get-out-the-big-tractor-v14606104/attach-drag-harrow-to-tractor-c3944784 2026-10-24T03:29:33.342Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CKQLzRNTh7A/hqdefault.jpg Attach Drag Harrow to Tractor — What a mess!

Drive the tractor across the pasture, systematically covering the area. The drag harrow's metal chains and tines will break down and distribute existing manure pats, ensuring even coverage. For areas with undulating terrain, remember to use the tractor's hydraulic controls (the blue lever and height knob) to raise or lower the drag harrow as needed to prevent it from bending or digging too deeply into depressions. The goal is to spread the manure evenly rather than simply dragging it into piles. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CKQLzRNTh7A 340 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-a-mess-lets-get-out-the-big-tractor-v14606104/optimize-pasture-management-and-spreading-technique-c3944786 2026-10-24T03:29:33.342Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CKQLzRNTh7A/hqdefault.jpg Optimize Pasture Management and Spreading Technique — What a mess! Let's get out the BIG TRACTOR! Effective manure spreading requires strategic pasture management. Before spreading, consider using temporary electric fencing, such as polywire with step-in posts, to create smaller grazing cells for livestock. This concentrates manure in specific areas. Once the animals are moved, remove sections of the temporary fencing to create wider, more open paths for the tractor and drag harrow. This allows for more efficient, longer passes and reduces the need for frequent tight turns, which can waste fuel and time. Drive the tractor in a cross-hatch or circular pattern to maximize manure dispersal, aiming to break down large manure pats into fine particles that quickly integrate into the soil, enhancing nutrient cycling and pasture growth. It's crucial to pay attention to terrain changes, adjusting the harrow's height with the tractor's hydraulics to avoid damaging the implement or creating uneven spread. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CKQLzRNTh7A 138 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-a-mess-lets-get-out-the-big-tractor-v14606104/review-results-and-benefits-c3944787 2026-10-24T03:29:33.342Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CKQLzRNTh7A/hqdefault.jpg Review Results and Benefits — What a mess! Let's get out the BIG TRACTOR! After completing the compost application, visually inspect the pasture. The goal is to see significantly reduced and dispersed manure pats across the entire treated area, demonstrating successful compost application. The dispersed manure, broken down by the drag harrow, will quickly reintroduce nutrients into the soil, improving soil health, encouraging uniform grass growth, and ultimately benefiting the livestock by allowing them to graze evenly across the pasture. This regenerative farming practice reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers, leading to fatter cattle and richer land. The heavy-duty tractor and drag harrow prove to be efficient tools for this task, saving time and contributing to sustainable farm operations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CKQLzRNTh7A 91 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/weve-got-issues-around-the-new-shop-building-v14606105 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/08FQiC6a5ds/hqdefault.jpg We've got issues around the new shop building!

We've gotta learn to think about th Instead of storing hay in an expensive barn, adopt an outdoor storage method for round bales. Stack hay bales in rows directly on the pasture, ensuring that individual bales do not touch each other. This separation prevents water from pooling in the gaps, which would lead to rot. The outer layer of the hay bale, combined with its compact rolling, forms a 'thatch roof' that naturally sheds water and protects the inner hay from spoilage. This method leverages the natural water-shedding properties of the bale itself. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H_hmMN_bzQA 89 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/why-small-farms-farms-fail-weve-gotta-learn-to-think-about-this-v14606114/execute-daily-hay-distribution-c3944384 2026-10-24T03:29:06.922Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H_hmMN_bzQA/hqdefault.jpg Execute Daily Hay Distribution — Why Small Farms Farms fail! We've gotta learn to think about this! On a daily or rotational basis, use the ATV or UTV with the hay unroller to distribute hay across specific areas of the pasture. Target areas that could benefit from added nutrients, such as those with sparse or less desirable vegetation (e.g., broom sedge). As the hay is unrolled, cows will eat 85-95% of it. The remaining 5-15% (including seeds) is trampled into the soil along with cow manure, creating a natural fertilizer and seed bank. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H_hmMN_bzQA 370 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/why-small-farms-farms-fail-weve-gotta-learn-to-think-about-this-v14606114/monitor-soil-and-animal-health-observe-longterm-benefits-c3944385 2026-10-24T03:29:06.922Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H_hmMN_bzQA/hqdefault.jpg Monitor Soil and Animal Health, Observe Long-Term Benefits — Why Small Farms Farms fail! We've gotta Continuously assess the health of your soil and cattle. By distributing hay directly on the pasture, you reduce the risk of mud accumulation, which can cause disease in animals. The distributed hay and manure act as a natural, pH-neutral fertilizer, promoting the growth of beneficial soil organisms like fungi (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi that fix nitrogen) and earthworms. This practice gradually improves soil structure, fertility, and biodiversity over time, reducing or eliminating the need for commercial fertilizers and dewormers for livestock. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H_hmMN_bzQA 377 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-replace-a-window-in-your-car-or-truck-the-right-way-v14606115 2026-10-24T03:32:16.671Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GFSou774mZU/hqdefault.jpg How to replace a window in your car or truck the right way!

To effectively sharpen a chainsaw, it's essential to understand the names and functions of its chain components. The presenter points out the key parts: the top plate, also known as the tooth, which is the cutting edge; the corner, where the top plate meets the side of the tooth; the gullet, the curved area between the top plate and the depth gauge; and the depth gauge, or raker, which controls the depth of the cut. Sharpening primarily involves filing the gullet and reducing the height of the depth gauge. https://www.youtube.com/embed/s6C29t9e4As 56 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-sharpen-a-chainsaweasy-fast-and-effective-v14606118/mark-a-starting-tooth-c3944775 2026-10-24T03:29:33.330Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s6C29t9e4As/hqdefault.jpg Mark a Starting Tooth — How to sharpen a chainsaw...easy, fast and effective! Before you begin filing, select any tooth on the chainsaw chain and mark it clearly. This can be done with a black Sharpie marker, but a lumber crayon (red is used in the video) is often preferred because it's highly visible against the metal and can be easily wiped off once sharpening is complete. Marking a starting tooth ensures that you sharpen every tooth on the chain and know exactly when you've completed a full circuit, preventing over-filing or missing teeth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/s6C29t9e4As 25 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-sharpen-a-chainsaweasy-fast-and-effective-v14606118/how-the-allinone-sharpener-works-c3944778 2026-10-24T03:29:33.330Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s6C29t9e4As/hqdefault.jpg How the All-in-One Sharpener Works — How to sharpen a chainsaw...easy, fast and effective! The Stihl all-in-one sharpener is designed with two round files and one flat file. The round files simultaneously sharpen the top plate and the gullet, while the flat file precisely lowers the depth gauge (raker). An arrow on the tool indicates the correct filing direction, which corresponds to the cutting angle of the chain teeth. This ensures that each tooth is sharpened at the correct angle and the depth gauge is set to the optimal height, leading to a consistent and efficient cut. Unlike traditional hand filing, which can lead to uneven cuts and cause the saw to 'walk' or cut crookedly, this tool simplifies the process. It's crucial to match the sharpener's pitch and file size (e.g., 3/8-inch pitch, 5.2 mm file) to your specific chainsaw chain for proper function. https://www.youtube.com/embed/s6C29t9e4As 144 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-sharpen-a-chainsaweasy-fast-and-effective-v14606118/sharpen-all-teeth-for-consistent-cut-c3944780 2026-10-24T03:29:33.330Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s6C29t9e4As/hqdefault.jpg Sharpen All Teeth for Consistent Cut — How to sharpen a chainsaw...easy, fast and effective! Secure your chainsaw firmly in a bench vice with the bar horizontal. Starting with the tooth immediately after your marked tooth, place the all-in-one sharpener over the chain. Ensure the guides rest on the top of the teeth and the files align correctly in the gullet. Perform 3-4 consistent pushes with the sharpener, always pushing away from you (in the direction of the arrow on the tool) and lifting the tool slightly on the return stroke. The files only cut on the push stroke. Continue this process for every tooth facing the same direction until you reach the marked tooth. Once all teeth on one side are done, rotate the chainsaw 180 degrees or reposition it in the vice to sharpen the remaining teeth facing the opposite direction. Repeat the 3-4 push strokes per tooth until you reach the originally marked tooth, completing the circuit. https://www.youtube.com/embed/s6C29t9e4As 274 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-sharpen-a-chainsaweasy-fast-and-effective-v14606118/conclusion-and-recommendations-c3944781 2026-10-24T03:29:33.330Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s6C29t9e4As/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Recommendations — How to sharpen a chainsaw...easy, fast and effective! The creator concludes by emphasizing that using the all-in-one sharpener is not 'rocket science' but a simple and effective method. It streamlines a task that can often be tedious and prone to error with traditional files. The tool makes it easy to maintain the perfect angle and depth gauge, eliminating the risk of inconsistent sharpening that can cause a chainsaw to cut crookedly.

A blue Lorenz control box is shown, which can be connected via Bluetooth to a tablet or smartphone using the 'Pump Scanner' app. This app allows monitoring of data such as energy savings, water consumption by livestock, current flow rate (e.g., 4.4 gallons per minute at 29 PSI), sunlight irradiation (e.g., 1010), voltage (e.g., 175V), and current (e.g., 0.60 amps from panels, 2.2 amps for motor). A lightning protection device and a main shut-off switch are also integrated into the system. The well, pump, and pressure tank are housed under an insulated rock cover. Beneath the ground, approximately one mile of 1.25-inch poly pipe distributes water across the farm. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0X7EJY7fLrM 252 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-a-solar-well-works-on-a-farmoff-grid-water-v14606120/install-pressure-tank-and-gravityfed-storage-c3944774 2026-10-24T03:29:33.543Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0X7EJY7fLrM/hqdefault.jpg Install Pressure Tank and Gravity-Fed Storage — How a solar well works on a farm...off grid water! The system includes a pressure tank, which is crucial for preventing 'water hammer' – a surge of pressure that can occur when water valves are shut off suddenly. This tank, containing both water and a rubberized bladder, slowly relieves pressure, protecting the well pump. The well itself is 460 feet deep, but the static water level is only 23 feet, meaning the pump only needs to lift water from that shallower depth, improving efficiency. The water is pumped from the well to a 1500-gallon above-ground water tank, which acts as a backup storage for times when solar power is limited due to cloudy weather. This tank was installed by digging a hole, leveling and tamping the ground, and surrounding it with rock dust to prevent rocks from rubbing against the tank. It is buried approximately 16 inches deep, below the frost line, to prevent freezing in winter. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0X7EJY7fLrM 150 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-a-solar-well-works-on-a-farmoff-grid-water-v14606120/construct-a-tire-water-tank-c3944776 2026-10-24T03:29:33.543Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0X7EJY7fLrM/hqdefault.jpg Construct a Tire Water Tank — How a solar well works on a farm...off grid water! Another type of water storage implemented is a 650-gallon tire water tank, created from an old skidder tire. The tire was thoroughly scrubbed and then a concrete base was poured into its center to create a water reservoir. A float valve (Jobi MegaFlow Valve) is installed inside to automatically fill the tank. Three pieces of PVC pipe and conduit are placed across the top of the tire to prevent young calves from jumping into the water and potentially drowning if the water level gets low. Goldfish are added to the tank to help keep it clean. This tank also serves as gravity-fed storage for other waterers located further down the hill. In extremely cold weather, this tank may freeze on the surface, but its large volume prevents it from freezing solid. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0X7EJY7fLrM 121 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-a-solar-well-works-on-a-farmoff-grid-water-v14606120/implement-mirrorfount-frostfree-water-tanks-c3944777 2026-10-24T03:29:33.543Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0X7EJY7fLrM/hqdefault.jpg Implement MirrorFount Frost-Free Water Tanks — How a solar well works on a farm...off grid water!

The presenter outlines the detailed fencing strategy for the farm. Using a digital GIS map on his computer, he illustrates how the new fence will encompass over 30 acres, integrating forested areas to create 'silver pasture' for rotational grazing. He explains that the first step in actual fence construction is to drive in the robust corner and bend posts. After these are in place, a high-tensile wire will be run to establish the main fence lines. Finally, lighter line posts will be marked and installed along these main wire runs. He notes that the new fence will connect to existing fence lines on the property, creating a more efficient grazing system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S_iZt7usFdc 222 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/unexpected-change-of-plans-v14606138/prepare-post-driver-and-install-corner-post-c3945673 2026-10-24T03:31:03.149Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/S_iZt7usFdc/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Post Driver and Install Corner Post — Unexpected change of plans! The presenter begins the actual post-driving process with the heavy machinery. He operates the Gehl RT210 skid steer, which has the Pro-Tech P240 post driver attached to its front. First, he uses the hydraulic control levers to lower the two stabilizing feet of the post driver, ensuring the entire machine is level and securely planted on the ground. Next, he adjusts the mast by tilting it forward to the desired angle for driving. He then carefully positions a 4-inch galvanized steel pipe post underneath the hydraulic hammer. He uses a custom-made measuring tool (a PVC pipe with markings) to verify that the post is aligned to be driven to the correct height, approximately 55 inches above ground, suitable for corner and line posts. Before fully driving the post, he uses a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly plumb. With the post positioned and checked, he operates the controls to begin driving the post into the ground. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S_iZt7usFdc 3875 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/unexpected-change-of-plans-v14606138/install-line-post-and-discuss-silver-pasture-strategy-c3945675 2026-10-24T03:31:03.149Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/S_iZt7usFdc/hqdefault.jpg Install Line Post and Discuss Silver Pasture Strategy — Unexpected change of plans! After driving the initial corner post, the presenter continues to install a 2-inch galvanized steel line post. He carefully positions the line post under the post driver, using his marked PVC pipe as a measuring tool to ensure it is driven to the correct height, consistent with the other posts. He then uses the spirit level to confirm the post's plumbness before activating the hydraulic driver. While the post is being driven, he explains his vision for integrating forested areas into the grazing system as 'silver pasture.' He plans to introduce goats first to clear out thickets, briars, and underbrush, and then bring in cattle to graze. He mentions that broom sedge, visible in the pasture, indicates poor soil health and an acidic pH (around 4), which he aims to improve through soil amendments and regenerative grazing practices. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S_iZt7usFdc 1759 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/unexpected-change-of-plans-v14606138/project-review-and-next-steps-c3945676 2026-10-24T03:31:03.149Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/S_iZt7usFdc/hqdefault.jpg Project Review and Next Steps — Unexpected change of plans! As dusk approaches, the presenter summarizes the day's work, acknowledging that the fencing project will span multiple days. He clarifies the function of the corner post he just drove, explaining that it serves as a 'turn post' where the high-tensile wire will change direction. He highlights the need for a brace post, or 'stubby,' driven below grade, which will be welded to the corner post to counteract the immense tension of the high-tensile wire. He emphasizes his choice of pipe fence from Farm Fence Solutions for its durability and longevity. He then outlines the remaining tasks: completing the installation of all corner and bend posts, running over a mile of Tornado Wire, and finally installing approximately 1,000 line posts to complete the fence. His ambitious goal is to have cattle grazing in this newly enclosed section of the farm by January. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S_iZt7usFdc 745 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Worst roof install ever!

Josh and Luke examine the old shingles, revealing a critical flaw: the adhesive strip, meant to seal the shingles together, is located on the top surface rather than the underside. This means the shingles were not properly sealed down, with only the nails providing structural integrity. Luke notes that these shingles likely had a very low wind resistance (estimated 60 mph), far below modern standards (130 mph). This improper sealing allowed high winds to easily lift and tear off shingles, as experienced by Josh during a recent storm. Luke demonstrates how brittle the material has become, easily breaking off sections. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 102 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/diagnosing-poor-roof-ventilation-c3945994 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Diagnosing Poor Roof Ventilation — Worst roof install ever! Luke examines a round metal roof vent, which was poorly integrated into the roof with surrounding caulk. He explains that this type of vent, combined with improper sealing (just caulk over multiple shingle layers), creates pathways for water penetration. Water can enter through keyways or vent holes, channel under the shingles, and eventually penetrate the attic, leading to humidity issues and potential damage. Luke recommends replacing these problematic vents with a proper ridge vent system, which allows heat to escape the attic while preventing water intrusion. This involves removing the old vent, patching the opening with wood, and installing a continuous ridge vent along the peak of the roof. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 134 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/proper-drip-edge-installation-and-selection-c3945999 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Proper Drip Edge Installation and Selection — Worst roof install ever! Luke demonstrates the proper installation of drip edge and contrasts it with the insufficient drip edge previously on Josh's roof. The old roof had a small, roughly 1.5-inch by 1.25-inch drip edge. Luke introduces the 'F8 drip edge,' a larger and more effective alternative. The F8 drip edge is designed to be installed along the bottom (eaves) and side (rake edges) of the roof perimeter. On the eaves, the drip edge is installed *underneath* the ice and water shield/underlayment to prevent water from wicking back under the roof. On the rake edges, the drip edge is installed *over* the underlayment to shed water effectively. This comprehensive approach ensures that water is properly directed away from the fascia and foundation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 68 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/applying-ice-water-shield-for-critical-leak-protection-c3946000 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Applying Ice & Water Shield for Critical Leak Protection — Worst roof install ever! Luke demonstrates the use of Ice & Water Shield, a self-adhering membrane that provides a critical waterproof barrier. He shows how to peel off the backing to reveal a sticky, aggressive adhesive surface. This membrane (made by Owens Corning) is applied directly to the wood deck in vulnerable areas such as eaves, around chimneys, up walls, and around pipe penetrations. Its primary function is to prevent water from backing up due to ice dams or heavy rain, and it self-seals around nails to create a watertight barrier. This product is crucial for preventing leaks in the most exposed and problematic sections of the roof. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 82 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/installing-synthetic-underlayment-for-enhanced-protection-c3946002 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Installing Synthetic Underlayment for Enhanced Protection — Worst roof install ever! Luke introduces synthetic underlayment (Owens Corning ProArmor), a high-performance alternative to traditional tar paper. This woven fiberglass material is super strong, tear-resistant, and slip-resistant, offering a safer working surface for roofers. Unlike tar paper, synthetic underlayment allows moisture and air to escape from the attic (venting), while simultaneously resisting water penetration from above. This dual functionality helps prevent condensation buildup within the attic and provides an additional layer of protection beneath the shingles. It is layered over the drip edge on the eaves and under the drip edge on the rake edges to ensure proper water flow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 96 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/installing-highquality-architectural-shingles-c3946005 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Installing High-Quality Architectural Shingles — Worst roof install ever! After the underlayment and other foundational layers are in place, the architectural shingles are installed. Luke highlights the Owens Corning Duration shingles, a type of architectural shingle known for its durability and advanced features. A key feature is the 'SureNail' woven fiberglass strip, which provides a clear and robust nailing zone. This strip ensures that nails are driven correctly, preventing 'blow-throughs' and enhancing the shingle's resistance to wind uplift. The SureNail strip also incorporates a very aggressive adhesive that strongly bonds the shingles together once heated by the sun, offering superior wind resistance compared to older, cheaper shingles. This robust construction helps the shingles withstand severe weather conditions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 97 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/installing-ridge-vent-and-ridge-cap-c3946014 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Installing Ridge Vent and Ridge Cap — Worst roof install ever! After the shingles are installed, a ridge vent is placed along the peak of the roof. This replaces the old, ineffective round vents. The ridge vent is a long, narrow vent that runs continuously along the ridge line. It's designed with internal baffling and/or mesh to allow hot, moist air to escape the attic while preventing rain, snow, debris, and pests (like stink bugs) from entering. Ridge cap shingles are then installed over the ridge vent, concealing it and creating a finished, aesthetically pleasing look. This system, combined with soffit vents at the eaves, creates a complete and efficient airflow system that dissipates heat and moisture from the attic, significantly improving the home's energy efficiency and preventing condensation and mold issues. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 117 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/understanding-standing-seam-metal-roofing-c3946018 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Standing Seam Metal Roofing — Worst roof install ever! Luke introduces standing seam metal roofing as the 'Cadillac of all roofs.' This type of roofing consists of large metal panels with raised seams that interlock, effectively hiding all fasteners. The panels are made from durable 24-gauge metal and finished with Kynar 500 paint, which is highly resistant to fading and weathering. The lack of exposed fasteners significantly reduces potential leak points, making it an extremely long-lasting and low-maintenance option. Standing seam metal roofs are designed to last a lifetime, typically 40-50 years, and often come with robust warranties. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF367ZXMKOU 101 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/worst-roof-install-ever-v14606139/prioritizing-quality-and-community-service-c3946020 2026-10-24T03:31:42.157Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EF367ZXMKOU/hqdefault.jpg Prioritizing Quality and Community Service — Worst roof install ever!

Gather your walk-behind string trimmer, such as the DR Pilot XT shown in the video. Ensure the machine is ready for operation. This involves confirming the fuel level, checking the string trimmer head for debris, and installing the heavy-duty trimming string. The string is fed through designated holes in the trimmer head and secured by pulling to ensure it's evenly balanced. The height of the cut can be adjusted by where the string is positioned on the trimmer head. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ma4bt2dGNmc 255 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/once-you-use-this-youll-never-use-a-weed-whacker-again-v14606140/trim-along-electric-fence-lines-c3730804 2026-10-22T22:13:34.522Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ma4bt2dGNmc/hqdefault.jpg Trim Along Electric Fence Lines — Once you use this, you'll never use a weed whacker again! After starting the engine of the walk-behind string trimmer, position it at one end of the fence line that needs trimming. With the guard facing the fence, push the trimmer along the electric fence, allowing the spinning string to cut down the overgrown grass and sedge. The guard helps prevent the string from hitting the fence wire directly, protecting both the fence and the trimmer line. Maintain a steady pace, moving downwards along any slopes to ease the effort. Repeat this process for all affected fence lines. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ma4bt2dGNmc 87 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/once-you-use-this-youll-never-use-a-weed-whacker-again-v14606140/verify-cleared-fence-lines-and-relocate-livestock-c3730805 2026-10-22T22:13:34.522Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ma4bt2dGNmc/hqdefault.jpg Verify Cleared Fence Lines and Relocate Livestock — Once you use this, you'll never use a weed whack Once all targeted fence lines are trimmed, visually inspect them to confirm that the broom sedge and other tall vegetation no longer touch the electric wires. The cleared path prevents grounding, allowing the fence to function correctly. Afterward, open the appropriate gates or sections of the electric fence to allow your livestock, such as the cows shown, to access the new grazing paddock.

The video introduces the concept of regenerative mob grazing as a method to improve pasture quality, especially in areas with poor grass quality due to dry conditions. The farmer explains that instead of relying on external inputs like hay and fertilizer, they use their cattle to naturally amend the soil. This involves moving a large number of animals across small sections of pasture frequently, allowing them to eat a portion of the grass, trample another portion into the soil as organic matter, and leave the remainder to recover. This process is crucial for in-situ compost integration, where the animals themselves become the primary agents of soil amendment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/umbAJlHhrsU 50 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/small-scale-regenerative-farmingheres-how-i-do-it-v14606160/establish-rotational-grazing-infrastructure-c3954133 2026-10-24T04:53:05.425Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/umbAJlHhrsU/hqdefault.jpg Establish Rotational Grazing Infrastructure — Small scale regenerative farming..here's how I do it! To facilitate effective mob grazing and compost integration, it's essential to establish a well-planned infrastructure. This includes setting up a reliable water system, such as a solar-powered well that feeds a water cistern (e.g., a Northern Tool 1500-gallon tank) which then gravity-feeds water to various waterers throughout the farm. This ensures animals have access to water regardless of power outages. Additionally, a robust fencing system is needed. The video highlights 'Tornado Wire' for permanent perimeter fencing and 'Polybraid' electric wire with 'pig-tail step-in posts' for creating temporary, easily movable paddocks. Fencing off natural waterways is critical to prevent contamination and maintain water quality. This infrastructure allows for precise control over where and when animals graze, maximizing the distribution of manure and trampled organic matter, effectively integrating compost into the soil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/umbAJlHhrsU 45 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/small-scale-regenerative-farmingheres-how-i-do-it-v14606160/implement-daily-mob-grazing-rotation-c3954134 2026-10-24T04:53:05.425Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/umbAJlHhrsU/hqdefault.jpg Implement Daily Mob Grazing Rotation — Small scale regenerative farming..here's how I do it! With the infrastructure in place, cattle are moved to a new, small paddock approximately every 12 hours. This intensive, short-duration grazing strategy ensures that the animals graze diverse plant species and trample a significant amount of vegetation directly onto the soil. The cattle's hooves aid in breaking up the soil and pushing organic matter deeper, effectively stimulating grass growth and acting as natural cultivators. The manure and urine deposited in concentrated areas provide a rich source of nutrients, acting as a natural compost that feeds the soil microbes and plants. This process eliminates the need for synthetic fertilizers and minimizes parasite issues, as animals are moved away from their waste before parasite life cycles can complete. https://www.youtube.com/embed/umbAJlHhrsU 270 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/small-scale-regenerative-farmingheres-how-i-do-it-v14606160/monitor-pasture-recovery-and-animal-health-c3954135 2026-10-24T04:53:05.425Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/umbAJlHhrsU/hqdefault.jpg Monitor Pasture Recovery and Animal Health — Small scale regenerative farming..here's how I do it! After the cattle have grazed a paddock, the pasture is left to rest for a full 60-day rotation, allowing the grass to fully recover and the integrated manure and trampled organic matter to break down and enrich the soil. This cyclical process builds healthy, multi-species pastures (including diverse grasses, clovers, and forbs like sericea lespedeza and ragweed) without the need for dewormers or antibiotics for the animals, as the frequent rotation disrupts parasite life cycles. The result is improved soil fertility, increased biodiversity, and healthier animals that produce high-quality, grass-fed beef. This demonstrates a sustainable and natural approach to compost integration and soil management, leading to a thriving agricultural ecosystem. https://www.youtube.com/embed/umbAJlHhrsU 345 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/can-cow-saliva-stimulate-grass-growth-shorts-v14606161 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hG7j0uyPnYE/hqdefault.jpg Can cow saliva stimulate grass growth? #shorts This video provides an explanation of regenerative farming practices, specifically focusing on how cattle are managed to improve pasture health and stimulate grass growth.

The presenter demonstrates the problem by showing water overflowing and creating a muddy area around the waterer. The root cause is identified as an incorrect low-pressure plastic valve being used in a high-pressure water system, leading to inefficient shut-off. Access to the valve is typically found under the top lid of the waterer. The lid simply lifts off to expose the internal components. https://www.youtube.com/embed/59kosT58EDg 99 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606173/turn-off-main-water-supply-c3952194 2026-10-24T04:49:19.883Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/59kosT58EDg/hqdefault.jpg Turn Off Main Water Supply — I sure hope this works Once the lid is removed, locate the internal water valve.

Then use channel locks to tighten it securely, but do not overtighten. Once installed, turn the main water valve back on using the long key. Observe for any leaks around the newly installed brass valve. If no leaks are present, assess the water flow and how the float mechanism operates. In this case, the metal float arm is initially too straight, causing it to hit the side of the waterer and not correctly shut off the water, leading to overflow. Bend the float arm slightly, using a sturdy surface like an ATV rack as an anvil, to create the necessary angle for proper function. This may require iterative adjustments. https://www.youtube.com/embed/59kosT58EDg 209 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606173/refine-float-arm-assembly-and-drain-excess-water-c3952214 2026-10-24T04:49:19.883Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/59kosT58EDg/hqdefault.jpg Refine Float Arm Assembly and Drain Excess Water — I sure hope this works Due to the tight space and potential for misassembly, the presenter demonstrates removing the small brass pin that connects the float arm to the brass valve. This allows for easier manipulation and correction. During reassembly, ensure the brass L-shaped piece is oriented correctly, and the float arm and brass pin are inserted so the float can move freely and effectively push the plunger to close the valve. If the water level remains too high after initial adjustments, locate the drain plug on the side of the waterer and remove it to quickly drain excess water. Reinsert the drain plug once the desired water level is reached or the waterer is empty enough for further adjustments. https://www.youtube.com/embed/59kosT58EDg 90 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606173/final-test-and-secure-waterer-c3952215 2026-10-24T04:49:19.883Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/59kosT58EDg/hqdefault.jpg Final Test and Secure Waterer — I sure hope this works After all adjustments and reassembly, perform a final test. Turn the main water supply on and observe the water level and the valve's operation. The water level should rise to just below the top of the blue flotation balls, and the valve should completely shut off the water flow without any leaks or overflow from the side drain holes. Ensure the float arm has enough 'strength' or leverage to lift and close the valve effectively against the water pressure. Once satisfied, place the top lid back on the Mirafount waterer, securing it if necessary. https://www.youtube.com/embed/59kosT58EDg 80 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/amazing-invention-for-any-tractor-or-skid-loader-shorts-v14606174 2026-10-23T00:26:19.838Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aKiO6XzxtIs/hqdefault.jpg Amazing invention for any tractor or skid loader! #shorts This video demonstrates the operation of an adjustable pallet fork attachment from CMP Attachments.

Here's what The presenter introduces the project: transforming old, weathered raised garden beds using Wood Defender stain. He demonstrates the significant difference between untreated and stained wood, showcasing a dramatic 'before' and 'after' effect. He explains that the lumber, White Oak, was sourced from his farm's sawmill, allowed to dry for 5-6 days after milling, and the raised beds were assembled between six months to one year prior. The wood is confirmed to be dry and ready for staining. He highlights that Wood Defender is a premium product he uses regularly, having previously stained a 1200-foot fence in four hours. He notes that the product is versatile and can be applied to various wooden structures like fences and decks. He then briefly introduces the specific tools and products to be used: a Chapin Professional Farm & Turf Backpack Sprayer and Wood Defender Semi-Transparent Fence Stain in Black. He cautions that any pump sprayer used must be chemical-tolerant to avoid damage and advises cleaning it with mineral spirits after use. The specific stain used is an oil-based semi-transparent type, designed for upright surfaces and not high-traffic areas like decks (for which Wood Defender offers a separate 200 series). https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBd5UIpo1XA 174 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/stain-any-fence-deck-or-garden-bed-in-seconds-heres-what-i-use-v14606179/prepare-raised-garden-beds-for-staining-c1631356 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WBd5UIpo1XA/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Raised Garden Beds for Staining — Stain any fence, deck or garden bed in seconds! Here's wha Before applying the stain, it's crucial to prepare the wooden raised garden beds. This involves removing any loose debris, dry grass, or soil that might be in direct contact with the wood. The presenter advises using a rake to pull back the soil and a small broom or hand to sweep off any remaining debris from the lower boards of the beds. The goal is to ensure a clean wooden surface for optimal stain absorption and to prevent accidental staining of surrounding areas. He also mentions that while some overspray on foliage is generally not harmful (foliage typically recovers within two weeks), for garden beds, it's best to avoid chemical contact with the soil. The raised beds are 4 feet wide by 8 feet long. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBd5UIpo1XA 172 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/stain-any-fence-deck-or-garden-bed-in-seconds-heres-what-i-use-v14606179/mix-and-transfer-stain-to-sprayer-c1631357 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WBd5UIpo1XA/hqdefault.jpg Mix and Transfer Stain to Sprayer — Stain any fence, deck or garden bed in seconds! Here's what I us To ensure proper mixing and easy transfer of the Wood Defender stain into the backpack sprayer, the presenter offers a pro tip. Take an empty metal Wood Defender bucket (or any suitable metal bucket) and gently squeeze its sides to create a small, oblong lip on one edge. This modified edge acts as a spout, making it easier to pour the stain without spills. The main container of stain should be poured back and forth between two buckets several times to thoroughly mix the product before transferring it to the sprayer. This mixing helps to ensure consistent color and performance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBd5UIpo1XA 47 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/stain-any-fence-deck-or-garden-bed-in-seconds-heres-what-i-use-v14606179/apply-wood-stain-with-backpack-sprayer-c1631358 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WBd5UIpo1XA/hqdefault.jpg Apply Wood Stain with Backpack Sprayer — Stain any fence, deck or garden bed in seconds! Here's what Once the stain is loaded into the backpack sprayer, adjust the spray nozzle to achieve the desired spray pattern. The presenter advises to start spraying at the very bottom of the raised bed, applying the stain generously and evenly. He emphasizes that Wood Defender is designed to soak into the wood rather than run, so heavy application is encouraged without worrying about drips or uneven streaks. Particular attention should be paid to the end grains of the wood, as these areas tend to absorb more stain and require thorough saturation for maximum protection. A crucial warning is given: avoid applying the stain on a windy day, as it can lead to unintended overspray and make the application process messy. The stain soaks in, providing a rich, black finish that revives the appearance of the old wood and offers protection for an estimated 4-6 years. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBd5UIpo1XA 173 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/stain-any-fence-deck-or-garden-bed-in-seconds-heres-what-i-use-v14606179/review-finished-results-and-benefits-c1631359 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WBd5UIpo1XA/hqdefault.jpg Review Finished Results and Benefits — Stain any fence, deck or garden bed in seconds! Here's what I After applying the Wood Defender stain, the raised garden beds are visibly transformed from a weathered, grey appearance to a rich, deep black finish. The presenter showcases the dramatic 'night and day' difference between the treated and untreated sections of the beds. He reiterates the efficiency of the application process, stating that each bed took him only about four minutes to complete. The benefits of using Wood Defender are highlighted: no messy runs due to its absorption properties, minimal overspray issues (especially when applied on a calm day), and easy cleanup if it accidentally gets on non-wood surfaces like siding (it simply wipes off as it only works on wood). The finished beds are now not only aesthetically pleasing but also protected from rot and weather for several years. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBd5UIpo1XA 83 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/amazon-box-hack-how-to-reuse-shipping-boxes-sustainably-and-waste-less-v14606180 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tjstfsKGfO4/hqdefault.jpg Amazon Box Hack!

How to re-use shipping boxes sust After clearing the raised garden beds of existing plants and debris, lay flattened cardboard boxes (such as Amazon boxes) across the soil surface. Ensure all plastic tape is removed from the boxes before placement. The cardboard acts as an effective weed barrier by blocking sunlight, preventing dormant weed seeds from germinating, and gradually decomposing into the soil. This process helps to 'put the garden beds to rest' for the winter, creating a moist, rich environment underneath that attracts beneficial organisms like earthworms, as demonstrated by lifting a piece of cardboard to reveal moist soil and old grass underneath. When ready to plant in the spring, simply cut holes in the cardboard to insert new plants. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tjstfsKGfO4 140 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/amazon-box-hack-how-to-reuse-shipping-boxes-sustainably-and-waste-less-v14606180/utilize-chickens-for-composting-garden-waste-c3520730 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tjstfsKGfO4/hqdefault.jpg Utilize Chickens for Composting Garden Waste — Amazon Box Hack! How to re-use shipping boxes sustain Garden debris and weeds pulled from the beds are not thrown away but are instead transported to a dedicated chicken coop. This method leverages the natural foraging behavior of chickens. They actively scratch through the organic material, eating weed seeds, insects, and any other edible plant matter. What they don't consume, they break down further through their scratching and enrich with their manure, effectively turning garden waste into nutrient-dense compost. The host explains that this process saves money on chicken feed and provides valuable, chemical-free fertilizer for the garden. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tjstfsKGfO4 122 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/amazon-box-hack-how-to-reuse-shipping-boxes-sustainably-and-waste-less-v14606180/collect-and-apply-chicken-manure-to-garden-beds-c3520731 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tjstfsKGfO4/hqdefault.jpg Collect and Apply Chicken Manure to Garden Beds — Amazon Box Hack!

He uses a measuring stick, which is a piece of electrical conduit pipe with marked heights, to ensure the correct depth of the post. He also uses a level to ensure the post is perfectly plumb (straight up and down) as it is driven into the ground by the post driver's heavy weight. He explains his reasoning for not capping the top of the posts: in North Carolina's climate, the ground's heat below the frost line will conduct up through the pipe, preventing water inside from freezing and bursting the pipe. Any ice that forms on top can be easily broken off. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KJFOJtqZpOA 279 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/learn-about-farms-building-innovation-you-wont-see-anywhere-else-on-v14606181/installing-connectors-and-assembling-bungee-gates-c3953166 2026-10-24T04:51:55.609Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KJFOJtqZpOA/hqdefault.jpg Installing Connectors and Assembling Bungee Gates — Learn about Farms!

He then takes a Strain-Right connector and attaches it to a steel post using a drill with self-tapping screws. The process is repeated for the top and bottom of the connector. Next, at a workstation on the Kubota, he prepares the polybraid for the bungee gates. He uses a burner to melt the cut end of the polybraid, preventing it from fraying. He threads the melted end through a Strain-Right gate handle, doubles it back, and secures it tightly with two (or preferably three, for added durability against cattle) hog rings using a Stockade hog ring pliers tool. This creates a secure, movable gate handle. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KJFOJtqZpOA 245 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/learn-about-farms-building-innovation-you-wont-see-anywhere-else-on-v14606181/connecting-fence-lines-and-explaining-rotational-grazing-c3953167 2026-10-24T04:51:55.609Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KJFOJtqZpOA/hqdefault.jpg Connecting Fence Lines and Explaining Rotational Grazing — Learn about Farms! Building innovation yo With the posts driven and the bungee gates assembled, the host shows the completed setup around the waterer. He demonstrates how the polybraid lines are connected to the posts and how the movable bungee gates are utilized. He explains the rotational grazing process: cows are moved into a new paddock and the bungee gate is opened, giving them access to the waterer. Once they are finished grazing that section, the bungee gate is simply moved to the next post, closing off the grazed paddock and opening a fresh one. This 'leapfrogging' of connections means the electric fence remains energized continuously, saving time and effort compared to manually turning the power off and on. He emphasizes how this efficient system supports soil building and contributes to the overall farm's development. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KJFOJtqZpOA 95 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/they-look-so-gross-but-taste-so-good-v14606182 2026-10-24T04:52:28.866Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tilZgWyNk9U/hqdefault.jpg They look so gross!

Let's saw some red oak The host walks around the milling site, providing a detailed overview of the equipment. He explains that the Wood-Mizer LT40 Wide is a hydraulic mill, meaning its various functions (lifting logs, moving the saw carriage, adjusting blade height) are powered by hydraulics. He points out the hydraulic arm for lifting logs and the chain drive for vertical movement of the saw head, emphasizing its consistency in cuts. He also highlights the 'SimpleSet' computer, which automates precise blade height adjustments. Other equipment shown includes a 'WarLock' dump truck (an old Home Depot rental truck with an aluminum dump bed, useful for transporting logs and lumber) and a TYM T574 Hydrostatic tractor with pallet forks, which is crucial for offloading logs from the mill. He then shows a stack of logs, identifying them as red oak and white oak, and two LogOx 3-in-1 Forestry Multi-tools, which will be used to roll the logs to the mill. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJY4KSSWqjE 157 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/problems-with-the-woodmizer-sawmill-lets-saw-some-red-oak-today-v14606185/identify-sawmill-maintenance-issues-c3952906 2026-10-24T04:50:22.167Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uJY4KSSWqjE/hqdefault.jpg Identify Sawmill Maintenance Issues — Problems with the Woodmizer Sawmill? Let's saw some red oak t Before beginning milling, the host identifies two critical maintenance tasks. First, the main drive belt of the sawmill is squeaking, indicating it's loose and needs tightening to ensure efficient power transfer and prevent potential damage. Second, the debarker unit is not functioning properly. The debarker is a carbide-tipped blade that spins and removes bark before the main saw blade cuts, extending the life of the more expensive saw blade. Troubleshooting these issues is necessary before commencing lumber production. He emphasizes that mechanical and electrical components will eventually fail, and routine maintenance is key. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJY4KSSWqjE 63 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/problems-with-the-woodmizer-sawmill-lets-saw-some-red-oak-today-v14606185/perform-sawmill-maintenance-c3952907 2026-10-24T04:50:22.167Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uJY4KSSWqjE/hqdefault.jpg Perform Sawmill Maintenance — Problems with the Woodmizer Sawmill? Let's saw some red oak today! To prepare the sawmill, first, lubricate the chains and other moving parts. Then, engage the fuel pump and start the mill's engine. Next, turn the key to the 'on' position to power the controls. Lift the saw head using the hydraulic controls. Using a cordless drill, carefully remove the screws securing the access panel to the main drive belt housing. Once the panel is off, inspect the main drive belt, confirming it is loose. Engage the blade to observe the tensioning mechanism. The host demonstrates that engaging the blade causes the belt tensioner to activate, but the belt remains too loose. To adjust the tension, carefully turn the tensioner ring with a wrench, likely turning it three turns initially, then re-testing the tension. Tighten the lock nut after adjustment. A bird's nest found inside the housing is removed, as it could interfere with operation. The debarker's motor is also briefly inspected, but its specific fix isn't detailed here. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJY4KSSWqjE 171 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/problems-with-the-woodmizer-sawmill-lets-saw-some-red-oak-today-v14606185/position-logs-for-milling-c3952908 2026-10-24T04:50:22.167Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uJY4KSSWqjE/hqdefault.jpg Position Logs for Milling — Problems with the Woodmizer Sawmill? Let's saw some red oak today! With the sawmill ready, the next task is to move the heavy logs from the storage pile to the mill's loading area. For the red oak logs, the host uses two LogOx 3-in-1 Forestry Multi-tools acting as cant hooks to roll them down the gentle slope towards the sawmill. He explains that these tools are indispensable for safety and efficiency in log handling, especially for keeping chainsaw blades clear of dirt during cutting. For the white oak logs that are not being milled today, and to help align the red oak logs, the TYM T574 tractor with its front-mounted pallet forks is used. The tractor gently pushes and maneuvers the logs, ensuring they are positioned correctly for the sawmill. This step requires careful coordination between manual rolling and tractor assistance due to the logs' weight and the uneven terrain. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJY4KSSWqjE 106 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/problems-with-the-woodmizer-sawmill-lets-saw-some-red-oak-today-v14606185/milling-red-oak-logs-into-timbers-c3952909 2026-10-24T04:50:22.167Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uJY4KSSWqjE/hqdefault.jpg Milling Red Oak Logs into Timbers — Problems with the Woodmizer Sawmill? Let's saw some red oak tod The milling process for the red oak logs begins. The debarker unit is engaged first, which runs a carbide-tipped blade along the log's surface, removing bark and any superficial debris. This protects the main saw blade from dulling quickly. Once the debarker finishes its pass, the main band saw blade then cuts through the log. The hydraulic controls on the Wood-Mizer allow for precise adjustments to the blade's height and the log's position. The log is repeatedly cut, turned (using the sawmill's hydraulic arms), and cut again to square off the sides and eventually produce dimensional lumber. The host removes the cut boards and stacks them on the pallet forks of the waiting tractor. He notes that the hard red oak wood dulls the blade faster than softer wood, requiring frequent blade changes, approximately every four logs for optimal performance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJY4KSSWqjE 275 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/problems-with-the-woodmizer-sawmill-lets-saw-some-red-oak-today-v14606185/review-milled-lumber-and-storage-considerations-c3952910 2026-10-24T04:50:22.167Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uJY4KSSWqjE/hqdefault.jpg Review Milled Lumber and Storage Considerations — Problems with the Woodmizer Sawmill? Let's saw so After milling two large red oak logs, the host turns off the sawmill. He explains that the blade is now dull and needs to be changed. He confirms that changing the blade is a quick process, taking about three minutes, by simply removing a few panels, swapping the blade, and reattaching the panels. He then showcases the results of the milling session: a stack of freshly cut red oak boards on the tractor's pallet forks. These boards measure just over 6 inches wide and 1 1/16 inches thick. He explains that these boards are intended for fencing and other utility purposes, so aesthetic perfection (like furniture-grade quality) is not the primary goal, but notes that they are still very high quality. He emphasizes the importance of proper storage for freshly milled lumber, specifically highlighting a viewer's past comment about avoiding direct contact between wet wood and metal pallet forks, which can cause black staining. He demonstrates this by applying water to a board to reveal the natural grain and then points out sacrificial boards used at the bottom of the stack to prevent staining from the metal forks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJY4KSSWqjE 258 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/poor-mans-filet-mignon-transform-any-cheap-tough-steak-into-v14606186 2026-10-24T04:52:40.998Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q8DS5UXAPXQ/hqdefault.jpg Poor man's Filet Mignon!

Mid-milling, an equipment failure occurred: the Lube-Mizer's spray nozzle became clogged, causing the blade to dry out during a cut. This required stopping the operation, removing the clogged nozzle, clearing it of debris, and reinstalling it. Additionally, when encountering extremely hard wood like wild cherry, it may be necessary to change the sawmill blade more frequently to maintain optimal cutting performance and prevent blade damage. This involves stopping the mill, removing the dull blade, installing a sharpened replacement, and re-tensioning. After the third log, the final processed lumber is inspected and stored. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BeakysuriFw 83 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-creme-brulee-simple-quick-easy-and-fun-v14606189 2026-10-24T04:52:33.734Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m_S02mEm3C8/hqdefault.jpg How to make Crème Brulee simple, quick, easy and fun!

He highlights that cull cows (805-835 lbs) sold for about $800 each, and bull calves (215-340 lbs) sold for $1.52 to $1.57 per pound, resulting in prices ranging from $327 to $448 per calf. He compares this to grocery store beef prices (e.g., ribeyes for $16.99/lb). The farmer concludes that traditional livestock farming on a small scale is currently not profitable. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ivlNZwEjPo4 345 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-is-forcing-small-farms-out-of-business-quit-now-or-go-broke-v14606201/rotational-grazing-and-future-strategy-c3954027 2026-10-24T04:52:55.236Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ivlNZwEjPo4/hqdefault.jpg Rotational Grazing and Future Strategy — This is forcing small farms out of business? Quit now or go The farmer illustrates daily rotational grazing by moving the herd to a fresh paddock. He uses an ATV to pull a single-strand electric fence, allowing the cattle access to new grass. He emphasizes the labor involved, moving the herd twice daily, and reiterates the low financial returns ($600 profit per year for all the work) from selling at wholesale markets. He shares that in the past two years, he spent $12,000 on hay alone, with no fertilizer input. He argues that profitability on small farms (3 to 300 acres) can only be achieved through direct marketing of products (beef, chicken, lamb, eggs). He plans to diversify his farm with pigs, meat birds, sheep, and rabbits, and build a butcher shop to sell directly to the public. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ivlNZwEjPo4 282 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-is-forcing-small-farms-out-of-business-quit-now-or-go-broke-v14606201/concluding-thoughts-on-farm-profitability-c3954028 2026-10-24T04:52:55.236Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ivlNZwEjPo4/hqdefault.jpg Concluding Thoughts on Farm Profitability — This is forcing small farms out of business?

Begin by visually observing the livestock (cows in this case) grazing in their pasture. Note their overall health and activity. Simultaneously, make a general assessment of the pasture's condition, including the density, color, and vigor of the grass. A lush, healthy pasture is an initial indirect indicator of potentially fertile soil, especially in a regenerative farming context. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ArjCSnDZSVc 5 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/why-are-cows-always-licking-this-rock-v14606202/identify-mineral-supplementation-block-c3797908 2026-10-23T00:22:29.795Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ArjCSnDZSVc/hqdefault.jpg Identify Mineral Supplementation Block — Why are cows always licking this rock? Direct your attention to specific objects within the pasture that livestock might be interacting with. In this observation, a small, brownish block on the ground is identified. Understand that this is a 'mineral block' specifically designed to provide essential 'trace minerals' for the cows. This step involves recognizing intentional nutrient inputs into the grazing system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ArjCSnDZSVc 13 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/why-are-cows-always-licking-this-rock-v14606202/understand-mineral-transfer-through-livestock-c3797909 2026-10-23T00:22:29.795Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ArjCSnDZSVc/hqdefault.jpg Understand Mineral Transfer through Livestock — Why are cows always licking this rock? Listen to the explanation provided by the farm operator or expert regarding the function of the mineral block. Understand that the minerals consumed by the cows are vital for their health, acting like 'Gatorade for the cow herd.' The key conceptual understanding is that these ingested minerals do not stay solely within the animal but 'will pass through their body and go back out and feed the land.' This clarifies the role of livestock as nutrient cyclers in the ecosystem. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ArjCSnDZSVc 9 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/why-are-cows-always-licking-this-rock-v14606202/assess-impact-on-grass-growth-and-soil-fertility-c3797914 2026-10-23T00:22:29.795Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ArjCSnDZSVc/hqdefault.jpg Assess Impact on Grass Growth and Soil Fertility — Why are cows always licking this rock? Based on the understanding of mineral cycling, draw a connection between the livestock's consumption of mineral blocks and the health of the pasture. The returning minerals, through animal waste (manure and urine), enrich the soil. The farmer explicitly states that this process helps 'our grass to grow better here on this regenerative farm.' This observation-based assessment allows for an initial insight into soil fertility, inferring that the consistent return of trace minerals via grazing animals contributes to a more nutrient-rich soil capable of supporting robust grass growth, characteristic of healthy soil in a regenerative system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ArjCSnDZSVc 14 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-and-preserve-homemade-tomato-juice-v14606203 2026-10-24T04:49:34.807Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2-j8_uJDDaA/hqdefault.jpg How to make and preserve homemade tomato juice!

To preserve water quality and the pond's ecosystem, it is essential to fence out livestock. Cows and other animals entering waterways can stir up mud, introduce waste, and destroy the natural environment. Maintaining a natural, grassy perimeter around the pond, rather than a golf course-like manicured lawn, is beneficial. This grass acts as a natural filter and provides habitat. Adding submerged elements like old Christmas trees or brush piles creates areas for fish to lay eggs and hide from larger predators, promoting a healthier fish population. A healthy ecosystem also helps control mosquito populations, as natural predators will thrive. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZIh0dhGBvQs 107 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/heres-how-i-messed-upfarm-pond-basics-most-dont-know-v14606210/water-level-management-and-drainage-systems-c3953242 2026-10-24T04:51:59.944Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZIh0dhGBvQs/hqdefault.jpg Water Level Management and Drainage Systems — Here's how I Messed up...Farm Pond Basics most don't k Ponds require effective drainage and overflow systems to manage water levels, especially those fed by natural springs.

These mirrors are often designed to pivot and fold inward if they strike an object, like a tree limb. This safety feature, intended to prevent mirror breakage, can become a hazard if the mirror folds in against the door frame or window, making it impossible to open the door and exit the tractor. The danger is compounded if both mirrors are knocked in, effectively trapping the operator inside the cab. Therefore, if you are driving and one side mirror is accidentally knocked inward, it is critical to stop the tractor immediately, safely exit the cab through the unobstructed side (if possible), and reset the mirror to its correct position. Do not proceed with operation until the mirror is properly adjusted and no longer obstructs egress. https://www.youtube.com/embed/T0yU7Vs1R_c 57 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/mowing-thick-brush-and-tall-grass-huge-mower-put-to-the-test-v14606214 2026-10-24T04:52:03.212Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xXlGiaXHkBc/hqdefault.jpg Mowing thick brush and tall grass!

LEAKY Farm Pond is failing! Let's fix it! This video details a DIY project to repair a leaking pond dam using a polymer product called "Damit" by Shallex Industries. The pond, constructed about 2.5 years ago, has been experiencing significant water loss due to unsuitable soil (sandy with rocks) and increased hydraulic pressure. The project involves applying the granular polymer product directly into the water (wet method) and around the dam's perimeter (dry method) using a broadcast spreader. The polymer swells when wet, creating a slime that binds to existing soil particles, effectively sealing the leaks.

He highlights that it is non-toxic and has been confirmed safe for aquatic life, including the 25 channel catfish residing in his pond. When exposed to water, the product transforms into a slimy, gooey substance (referred to as "frog slime") that binds to dirt, clay, and silt particles, creating an effective seal. He demonstrates this transformation by adding a small amount of the granular product to water in a Mason jar, where it rapidly swells and turns into a thick slime.

The wall panels are a sandstone color with barn red trim, each panel being 3 feet wide. Observe the 'stitch screws' on the ridges of these panels, which are shorter screws used to attach the panels to the internal steel framework. These panels are installed over an R-13 insulation layer, which also acts as a vapor barrier. Ensure the insulation is pulled taut and shows no signs of sag or tears, as this can compromise its effectiveness. Identify the 'girts' (horizontal steel supports) that hold the insulation and wall panels in place, with the self-tapping screws passing through the panels and insulation into the girts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dH7OnrYoihU 138 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dream-shop-done-shopman-cave-tour-ideaswhat-to-expect-and-more-v14606252/install-and-inspect-roofing-c3952350 2026-10-24T04:49:34.853Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dH7OnrYoihU/hqdefault.jpg Install and Inspect Roofing — Dream Shop done?

The creator introduces the project, which involves milling white oak from logs. He explains that these logs were sourced from a dead-standing double white oak tree cut down several months prior. The milled lumber will be used for raised garden beds (2x12s) and structural posts (4x4s or 6x6s) for a mega shop mezzanine. He also briefly showcases other logs awaiting milling, including wild cherry, red oak, and spalted maple, highlighting future projects. The main equipment, a Wood-Mizer LT40 sawmill and a TYM T574 tractor with pallet forks, are visible. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kGOa_wtpIyQ 156 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/crusty-old-oak-logyou-wont-believe-whats-inside-v14606255/sawmill-setup-and-debarking-preparation-c3952741 2026-10-24T04:50:06.172Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGOa_wtpIyQ/hqdefault.jpg Sawmill Setup and Debarking Preparation — Crusty old oak log...you won't believe what's inside! Before starting the milling operation, ensure the Wood-Mizer LT40 sawmill is properly prepared. The creator mentions checking the blade tension, which should be within the acceptable range of 2800-3000 psi. He activates the sawmill's control panel, allowing the fuel pump to engage. Once the fuel pump stops, he starts the engine. The sawmill features a debarker, which is a small cutting wheel that runs ahead of the main blade to remove bark and prevent debris from dulling the primary blade. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kGOa_wtpIyQ 86 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/crusty-old-oak-logyou-wont-believe-whats-inside-v14606255/loading-and-debarking-logs-c3952742 2026-10-24T04:50:06.172Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGOa_wtpIyQ/hqdefault.jpg Loading and Debarking Logs — Crusty old oak log...you won't believe what's inside! Using a LogOx 3-in-1 Forestry MultiTool (canthook), the logs are carefully rolled onto the sawmill's bed. Once a log is positioned, the debarker is engaged to pre-cut a path through the bark. This is done by lowering the debarker wheel onto the log and moving it along the intended cut line. The debarking process ensures the main sawmill blade encounters cleaner wood, preserving its sharpness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kGOa_wtpIyQ 103 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/crusty-old-oak-logyou-wont-believe-whats-inside-v14606255/milling-boards-from-logs-c3952743 2026-10-24T04:50:06.172Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGOa_wtpIyQ/hqdefault.jpg Milling Boards from Logs — Crusty old oak log...you won't believe what's inside! After debarking, the main sawmill blade is engaged to cut the first face of the log, creating a flat surface called a 'cant'. The operator uses the sawmill's controls to advance the blade through the log. Once the cut is complete, the waste slab (often called a 'cant') is removed from the mill. This process is repeated, turning the log and making successive cuts, to square up the log and produce lumber of desired dimensions, such as 2x12 boards or 6x6 posts. The video shows the operator removing large waste pieces and smaller boards during the process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kGOa_wtpIyQ 257 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/crusty-old-oak-logyou-wont-believe-whats-inside-v14606255/inspecting-and-displaying-milled-lumber-c3952744 2026-10-24T04:50:06.172Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGOa_wtpIyQ/hqdefault.jpg Inspecting and Displaying Milled Lumber — Crusty old oak log...you won't believe what's inside! After milling is complete, the operator cleans the sawdust off a freshly cut white oak board using a drywall putty knife to reveal its beautiful grain and any unique features like spalting (black lines caused by fungi). He then wets the board with water from a small bottle to enhance the visibility of the grain patterns and colors, demonstrating the aesthetic appeal of the wood. The milled 2x12 boards are for raised garden beds, and the 6x6 posts are intended for a mezzanine in a workshop or future home. The creator emphasizes that even boards with some rot or character from bug issues are suitable for these purposes, preventing waste. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kGOa_wtpIyQ 158 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/crusty-old-oak-logyou-wont-believe-whats-inside-v14606255/conclusion-and-recommendations-c3952746 2026-10-24T04:50:06.172Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGOa_wtpIyQ/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Recommendations — Crusty old oak log...you won't believe what's inside!

This project details the setup of a rotational grazing system for cattle, emphasizing regenerative farming principles. It covers the selection and installation of portable electric fencing (polybraid and step-in posts), the importance of water placement using a Mirafount waterer, and the strategic movement of cattle through small paddocks to optimize pasture health and animal well-being. The system mimics natural grazing patterns to improve soil and grass quality without synthetic fertilizers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHjaUQ8L3Ok 1356 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-never-thought-it-would-work-like-this-v14606256/introduction-to-regenerative-farming-and-mob-grazing-c3953766 2026-10-24T04:52:35.977Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dHjaUQ8L3Ok/hqdefault.jpg Introduction to Regenerative Farming and Mob Grazing — I never thought it would work like this! The presenter introduces the concept of regenerative farming and mob grazing on his 150-acre first-generation farm. He explains how the land, once overgrown with brush, has transformed into flourishing pastures in just 5-6 years by mimicking the grazing patterns of bison herds. The core principle is to move cattle frequently to small 1-2 acre plots to optimize soil regeneration. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHjaUQ8L3Ok 180 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-never-thought-it-would-work-like-this-v14606256/review-fencing-materials-c3953767 2026-10-24T04:52:35.977Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dHjaUQ8L3Ok/hqdefault.jpg Review Fencing Materials — I never thought it would work like this! Examine the different types of fence posts and polybraid wire used in the system. The presenter demonstrates two types of step-in posts: a white plastic model and a metal 'pigtail' model. He prefers the metal 'pigtail' posts due to their durability, as plastic posts tend to bend and become misshapen over time, especially when subjected to tension from the fence wire. The polybraid wire, which contains aluminum for better conductivity than steel, is also shown and its benefits highlighted. The fence charger used is an IntellaShock 120, designed to power up to a 5-mile section of fence. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHjaUQ8L3Ok 270 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-never-thought-it-would-work-like-this-v14606256/implement-the-pizza-style-wedge-pattern-grazing-plan-c3953770 2026-10-24T04:52:35.977Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dHjaUQ8L3Ok/hqdefault.jpg Implement the 'Pizza Style Wedge Pattern' Grazing Plan — I never thought it would work like this! The farm is divided into paddocks using a 'pizza style wedge pattern,' radiating from central water sources. The presenter shows a map of his grazing plan, with blue dashed lines representing polybraid wire and dots indicating waterers. Each paddock is grazed for 12-24 hours. The goal is to move the cattle to a new section before they overgraze the current one, allowing the grass to stay in its 'teenage growth cycle' for optimal nutrition and faster recovery. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHjaUQ8L3Ok 450 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-never-thought-it-would-work-like-this-v14606256/moving-cattle-to-a-new-paddock-c3953772 2026-10-24T04:52:35.977Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dHjaUQ8L3Ok/hqdefault.jpg Moving Cattle to a New Paddock — I never thought it would work like this! To move the cattle, the farmer unhooks the polybraid fence from its insulated gate post. He then drops the fence line, allowing the cattle to follow him to the new paddock. The cows are trained to follow, knowing that moving means new, fresh grass. Once all cattle, including the guard donkey, have entered the new paddock, the fence is re-secured. This daily routine ensures cows are always on fresh pasture and contributes to the regenerative process by distributing manure and urine. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHjaUQ8L3Ok 235 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-never-thought-it-would-work-like-this-v14606256/install-the-mirafount-waterer-c3953773 2026-10-24T04:52:35.977Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dHjaUQ8L3Ok/hqdefault.jpg Install the Mirafount Waterer — I never thought it would work like this! The Mirafount waterer is installed into a concrete block that has been set into the ground. A special long-handled tool is used to open an underground curb stop valve, allowing water to fill the waterer. The waterer's design ensures water drains back into the pipe to prevent freezing in winter. It also features a 'training mode' with a lowered blue ball float, allowing smaller calves to easily access water. The waterer is strategically placed within 400-800 feet of all paddocks to encourage consistent hydration and prevent cattle from forming 'cow trails' across the pasture in search of water. This ensures uniform grazing and minimizes soil compaction in specific areas. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHjaUQ8L3Ok 359 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-edible-landscapes-for-your-home-and-familysimple-fun-and-v14606257 2026-10-24T04:48:35.613Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K_-q06MBwLU/hqdefault.jpg How to make Edible landscapes for your home and family...simple, fun and pretty!

They discuss DWS Steel Structures' service area, which extends approximately 250 miles from Stokesdale, North Carolina, covering parts of Georgia, North Carolina mountains, coast, and Virginia. The video highlights that this is a custom-engineered steel building, meaning it's uniquely designed to the owner's specifications rather than being a generic, off-the-shelf kit. The initial design process involved Josh working with Toby to outline his desired building's size, height, and layout, which was then custom-engineered by American Buildings, DWS's long-standing partner. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jpgm5zVB4p8 148 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pole-barn-vs-steel-building-your-dream-shop-or-barndominium-explained-v14606261/general-contracting-and-cost-considerations-c3952767 2026-10-24T04:50:06.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jpgm5zVB4p8/hqdefault.jpg General Contracting and Cost Considerations — Pole Barn v/s Steel Building your dream shop or barndo Josh explains his role as a general contractor for elements not typically included in the steel building kit, such as windows, garage doors, and concrete. He notes that the cost of these additional items, including a significant amount of concrete for the pad and footings, amounted to approximately $7,000 to $8,000 for windows and doors, and $70,000 for concrete alone. He emphasizes the substantial footings required for the steel structure due to its design. The discussion then moves to the inherent advantages of steel over wood construction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jpgm5zVB4p8 165 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pole-barn-vs-steel-building-your-dream-shop-or-barndominium-explained-v14606261/benefits-and-engineering-of-steel-structures-c3952770 2026-10-24T04:50:06.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jpgm5zVB4p8/hqdefault.jpg Benefits and Engineering of Steel Structures — Pole Barn v/s Steel Building your dream shop or barnd The discussion elaborates on why steel was chosen over wood for this large structure. Key advantages of steel include its longevity compared to wood, which can rot when exposed to moisture. Steel buildings are designed to outlast traditional wood structures, with roofs typically warranted for 25 years but lasting 50. All components of a steel building (frame, exterior panels) expand and contract uniformly with temperature changes, preventing issues like screws loosening over time, which can occur when dissimilar materials like steel and wood are fastened together. The building is engineered to withstand high wind loads, rated for 115 mph, which is crucial in areas prone to hurricanes and tornadoes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jpgm5zVB4p8 226 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pole-barn-vs-steel-building-your-dream-shop-or-barndominium-explained-v14606261/understanding-structural-components-purlins-girts-bracing-and-portal-c3952777 2026-10-24T04:50:06.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jpgm5zVB4p8/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Structural Components: Purlins, Girts, Bracing, and Portal Frames — Pole Barn v/s Stee Toby explains the role of purlins (horizontal roof supports) and girts (horizontal wall supports) in the steel frame. He points out the X-bracing system, which uses steel rods to reinforce the structure and prevent 'dominoing' or collapse during high winds, transferring load from the ends down to the foundation. In areas where X-bracing isn't feasible due to openings (like the numerous garage doors on this building), a 'portal frame' is used. This involves a reinforced square box-like steel frame to provide the necessary structural integrity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jpgm5zVB4p8 139 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pole-barn-vs-steel-building-your-dream-shop-or-barndominium-explained-v14606261/window-and-door-installation-details-c3952778 2026-10-24T04:50:06.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jpgm5zVB4p8/hqdefault.jpg Window and Door Installation Details — Pole Barn v/s Steel Building your dream shop or barndominium Josh and Toby examine the installed windows and doors. The windows are residential double-hung units from 'United Window & Door' and are trimmed out in a contrasting dark red color, adding aesthetic appeal. Toby notes that pre-engineered buildings typically use fixed glass or custom windows, making the choice of residential windows a less common but aesthetically pleasing option. They also inspect a heavy-duty commercial door, which comes pre-assembled with a sub-jamb and door closer, significantly speeding up installation in the field. This door features a half-glass panel. The importance of proper flashing (using 'rain gutters') above wooden door/window frames to prevent water damage is highlighted, as wood is susceptible to rot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jpgm5zVB4p8 214 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pole-barn-vs-steel-building-your-dream-shop-or-barndominium-explained-v14606261/interior-insulation-and-roofing-details-c3952780 2026-10-24T04:50:06.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jpgm5zVB4p8/hqdefault.jpg Interior Insulation and Roofing Details — Pole Barn v/s Steel Building your dream shop or barndomini The interior walls of the building are shown with insulation already installed.

The building also features a reflective silver Galvalume roof, which helps deflect solar heat, further contributing to energy efficiency. This roofing material is warranted for 25 years but expected to last 50. The discussion also covers the pre-drilled nature of the exterior metal panels, which have designated holes for screws. These screws include rubber gaskets, which are precisely compressed during installation to create a watertight seal and prevent rust. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jpgm5zVB4p8 135 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pole-barn-vs-steel-building-your-dream-shop-or-barndominium-explained-v14606261/future-interior-spaces-and-preplumbing-c3952783 2026-10-24T04:50:06.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jpgm5zVB4p8/hqdefault.jpg Future Interior Spaces and Pre-Plumbing — Pole Barn v/s Steel Building your dream shop or barndomini The video ends with Josh giving a tour of the office and 'farm butcher shop' areas, showing the exposed insulated walls and framed window openings.

The goal is to ensure cows do not have to travel more than 400 feet to a water source, which prevents the formation of 'cow trails' that can damage pastures. Use pink flags and water-based marking paint (e.g., Rust-Oleum Professional Inverted Marking Paint) to clearly designate the trench path and water tank sites. The marking paint will wash off after a few rainfalls. The plan includes installing waterers on various ridges and running the poly pipe through a gate. Each new Mirafount waterer will be placed on a 10x10-foot, 6-inch deep concrete pad. https://www.youtube.com/embed/M8ghT2S10Hk 232 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/now-i-broke-it-tough-job-building-the-water-system-on-the-farm-v14606270/trenching-and-trencher-chain-maintenance-c3952957 2026-10-24T04:51:38.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M8ghT2S10Hk/hqdefault.jpg Trenching and Trencher Chain Maintenance — Now I broke it!! Tough job building the water system on t With the route marked, operate the Gehl RT210 skid steer with the trencher attachment to dig the trenches. The trencher is designed to roll its chain system to dig a hole, with the goal of burying the poly pipe deeper than the 18-inch frost line (typically around 24 inches deep). The trencher works by moving backward, so the operator must back up the entire length of the trench. During the trenching process, a problem was encountered where the trencher chain came off or broke due to hitting a large rock (likely from an old tobacco barn foundation). To fix this, the operator used the skid steer's lift arms to raise the trencher, allowing access to the chain. The broken chain was re-engaged with the roller, and then the chain tension was adjusted. This involves removing a plug, pumping grease into a fitting to push out a tensioning roller, and then replacing the plug and tightening retention bolts to achieve the correct chain tension. This critical step ensures the trencher operates efficiently and prevents further breakdowns. https://www.youtube.com/embed/M8ghT2S10Hk no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/pouring-concrete-for-the-cattle-watering-system-v14606272 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/64A04RgT4uY/hqdefault.jpg Pouring concrete for the cattle watering system!

The unroller is a specialized attachment used to distribute the hay evenly for cattle. The farmer emphasizes the importance of carrying heavy loads 'low' with the tractor's loader to maintain stability and prevent tipping, especially when using a lighter utility tractor. He also notes instances where some bales may have 'rot' from being stored too close together, which is less ideal for cattle feed but can contribute to soil health through regenerative farming practices.

He mentions his focus on cattle, pastured poultry, and regenerative farming. The primary purpose of this segment is to introduce the topic: the top five mistakes he made while establishing this first-generation farm from raw land. He emphasizes that building a farm of this scale from scratch is a significant undertaking and that he experienced numerous learning curves and unexpected expenses along the way. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l1DOudZ1xZY 110 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/top-5-biggest-mistakes-buying-land-to-start-a-farm-and-homesteadlearn-v14606280/mistake-1-underestimating-costs-c3954152 2026-10-24T04:53:05.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l1DOudZ1xZY/hqdefault.jpg Mistake 1: Underestimating Costs — Top 5 Biggest Mistakes buying land to start a Farm and Homestead. The creator elaborates on 'underestimating costs' as the paramount mistake. He clarifies that while the land purchase itself might seem expensive, the subsequent development costs are often far greater and overlooked. Specific cost examples provided include: - **Land Clearing:** Ranging from $800 to $1500 per acre, after timber was cut (which only yielded $400-$600 per acre). - **Grass Seed and Fertilization:** Described as 'hundreds and thousands of dollars' to smooth, grade, and seed the cleared land, plus initial fertilization and lime (though he now uses cows for fertilizing). - **Fencing:** Estimating approximately 5 miles of fencing needed for the entire farm, at a cost of $8 to $16 per linear foot, totaling a substantial investment. - **Water Systems:** The necessity of drilling two separate wells – one for the house and one for the animals – due to the high water demand of livestock (40 cows at present, aiming for 60-100). Each cow can drink 25-30 gallons of water per day. - **Cost of Animals:** Each cow is valued between $1000-$1200, with bulls potentially costing $2000, representing a significant initial investment. - **Machinery, Tools, and Tractors:** The realization that a single 65-horsepower tractor is insufficient for 150 acres. The need for multiple tractors (including a spare, a large one for mowing), bush hogs, scrape blades, and hay-mowing equipment (an estimated $50,000 alone) was a major unexpected expense. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l1DOudZ1xZY 337 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/top-5-biggest-mistakes-buying-land-to-start-a-farm-and-homesteadlearn-v14606280/mistake-2-poor-water-management-and-erosion-c3954153 2026-10-24T04:53:05.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l1DOudZ1xZY/hqdefault.jpg Mistake 2: Poor Water Management and Erosion — Top 5 Biggest Mistakes buying land to start a Farm an The creator stresses the importance of understanding water dynamics, particularly erosion, when deciding where to place a house, barns, driveways, and fences. He recounts his personal experience with his mobile home (and garage) being situated on the side of a hill, causing flooding during heavy rainstorms due to water running off the hill and under the house. The driveway also floods and suffers erosion. The key lesson is to always build structures on natural mounds or elevated areas where water will naturally flow away from them, both front-to-back and side-to-side, rather than building up dirt to create elevation, which is less stable. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l1DOudZ1xZY 83 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/top-5-biggest-mistakes-buying-land-to-start-a-farm-and-homesteadlearn-v14606280/mistake-3-putting-the-cart-before-the-horse-lack-of-infrastructure-c3954154 2026-10-24T04:53:05.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l1DOudZ1xZY/hqdefault.jpg Mistake 3: Putting the Cart Before the Horse (Lack of Infrastructure) — Top 5 Biggest Mistakes buyin The creator warns against the common homesteader mistake of acquiring animals (like chickens or goats) without first having the appropriate housing and containment infrastructure in place. He jokingly refers to it as 'having chickens but no chicken coop' or 'goats but no goat pen.' He specifically mentions owning goats, which he found to be 'a pain in the butt' to keep contained, even having neighbors call him because his goats were on their front porch. The key takeaway is to ensure that all necessary infrastructure, such as proper fencing, shelters, and pens, is fully prepared and functional *before* bringing animals onto the farm. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l1DOudZ1xZY 80 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/top-5-biggest-mistakes-buying-land-to-start-a-farm-and-homesteadlearn-v14606280/mistake-4-insufficient-animal-handling-equipment-c3954155 2026-10-24T04:53:05.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l1DOudZ1xZY/hqdefault.jpg Mistake 4: Insufficient Animal Handling Equipment — Top 5 Biggest Mistakes buying land to start a Fa With 40 cows on the farm, the creator realized the crucial importance of having adequate animal handling equipment. He explains that without a proper 'shoot' or 'squeeze chute' system, it is extremely difficult to perform essential tasks such as wellness checks, health checks, pregnancy checks, artificial insemination, and administering medications. He emphasizes that investing in high-quality equipment, like his Tarter Farm and Ranch squeeze chute with a sweep system, is vital, rather than relying on makeshift or cheap solutions, as this infrastructure is foundational for effectively managing livestock and the overall farm operation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l1DOudZ1xZY 50 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/top-5-biggest-mistakes-buying-land-to-start-a-farm-and-homesteadlearn-v14606280/mistake-5-lack-of-handson-skills-and-water-systems-revisited-c3954156 2026-10-24T04:53:05.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l1DOudZ1xZY/hqdefault.jpg Mistake 5: Lack of Hands-On Skills and Water Systems (Revisited) — Top 5 Biggest Mistakes buying lan The creator revisits the importance of water systems, emphasizing that not having permanent, appropriate water systems in place set back his intensive grazing and mob grazing programs significantly. He currently has water hoses running 'all through the woods' to compensate, but is in the process of building proper systems, including a solar well setup and installing thousands of feet of poly pipe in the ground. He also stresses the critical need for 'wrenching skills' and the ability to repair and maintain farm machinery. He warns that buying used equipment means inheriting 'somebody else's old, used-up problem,' and without the ability to fix it yourself, one will incur significant mechanic costs.

Key steps include digging a large, rock-free trench, preparing a stable base for the tank using rock dust, installing a custom handhole for the main water line valve, and integrating a float valve to regulate the solar well pump. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 1565 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/introduction-and-project-overview-c3953207 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Introduction and Project Overview — How to install a water storage tank on your property Begin by reviewing the project's goal: to install a 1500-gallon potable water tank, obtained from Northern Tool, underground for a farm's watering system. The creator emphasizes the necessity of burying an 'above-ground' tank to prevent water from freezing, despite manufacturer recommendations. The initial setup shows the 1500-gallon water tank, a Woods BH100 Groundbreaker backhoe attached to a John Deere tractor, and previously trenched water lines from a solar well. The main challenge is to prevent rocks from contacting the tank's plastic walls, as expansion and contraction due to temperature changes could damage it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 123 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/mark-the-excavation-area-c3953208 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Mark the Excavation Area — How to install a water storage tank on your property To precisely mark the excavation area for the water tank, measure the dimensions of the 1500-gallon tank. While exact measurements aren't critical, ensure the marked area is slightly larger than the tank to accommodate backfill material. Create a marking stake by breaking a wooden stick and using it as a pivot point. Attach a hose clamp to a string (twine), measure out approximately 5 feet from the stake, and then use Rust-Oleum water-based marking paint to draw a circular outline on the ground. This provides a clear boundary for the backhoe operation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 120 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/excavate-the-tank-hole-c3953209 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Excavate the Tank Hole — How to install a water storage tank on your property Using the John Deere tractor with the Woods BH100 Groundbreaker backhoe, carefully excavate the hole for the water tank. The hole should be slightly larger than the tank's dimensions (approximately 11x11 feet based on the video) and deep enough to fully bury the tank, ensuring its top is below the frost line. During excavation, pay close attention to removing any large rocks that could damage the tank's plastic walls. The video demonstrates the use of the backhoe to scoop out soil and large rocks, creating a deep pit. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 206 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/prepare-the-hole-base-with-rock-dust-c3953210 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Prepare the Hole Base with Rock Dust — How to install a water storage tank on your property After digging, prepare the bottom of the pit by spreading a layer of 'rock dust' (also referred to as 'screenings,' which is fine gravel material washed off larger stones). Use a rake to evenly distribute the rock dust across the base of the hole, ensuring it's slightly higher on one side to facilitate drainage if needed. Compact the rock dust thoroughly using a hand tamper to create a stable and level foundation for the tank, preventing uneven settling and protecting the tank from rocks. This meticulous preparation is crucial since the tank is going directly into the ground. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 139 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/install-tank-and-float-valve-c3953225 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Install Tank and Float Valve — How to install a water storage tank on your property Carefully roll the 1500-gallon tank into the prepared hole. Once positioned, install the float valve inside the tank. This blue float valve acts as a water level sensor, automatically shutting off the solar well pump when the tank is full by flipping up and closing the circuit. This mechanism ensures that water is stored efficiently without needing pressure-based systems or battery banks, as the solar well pumps water directly when the sun is shining. The float valve is secured to the tank's interior. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 23 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/install-main-water-line-valve-c3953227 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Install Main Water Line Valve — How to install a water storage tank on your property Install the main water line valve. Since the existing 1.25-inch poly pipe water line is full of pressurized water, prepare for water discharge when cutting the pipe. The creator advises crossing fingers to avoid getting soaked. After cutting the pipe, install a brass ball valve with stainless steel connections. This valve allows for isolating sections of the water system, useful for maintenance or routing water. The valve is fitted with two hose clamps on each side for a secure connection to the poly pipe. Heat the poly pipe slightly before installation to make it more flexible and ensure a tighter seal around the barbed fittings. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 238 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/construct-custom-valve-handhole-c3953244 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Construct Custom Valve Handhole — How to install a water storage tank on your property Construct a custom handhole to allow access to the underground water line valve. Obtain a 6-inch piece of corrugated pipe and use a hole saw to cut two access holes on opposite sides of the pipe. The top hole allows the customized valve handle to protrude, while the bottom hole aligns with the water pipe. The valve's handle is modified by bending it upwards at a right angle (using a vise) so it can be easily turned through the top access hole. This setup allows for convenient operation of the valve without fully excavating it. The handhole is designed to sit directly over the valve, with a cover to prevent debris from entering. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJiAfbFXr1w 171 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-water-storage-tank-on-your-property-v14606302/connect-water-lines-to-tank-c3953249 2026-10-24T04:51:57.731Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xJiAfbFXr1w/hqdefault.jpg Connect Water Lines to Tank — How to install a water storage tank on your property Install the PVC connection fittings onto the tank's output port.

The video opens with an introduction to the problem: a damaged section of a Tornado Wire Titan Fixed Knot 1348-12 fence, presumably caused by a heavy machine like a Caterpillar 953 loader. The fence features a fixed knot design with 13 line wires, 48 inches high, and 12-inch stay spacing. The primary goal is to repair this damaged section by cutting it out and re-tensioning the remaining good fence. The necessary tools are presented, including wedge-style strainer bars, boundary strainers, crimp sleeves, and Knipex mini bolt cutters. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvT90d-pdBo 44 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dozer-accidentally-destroyed-it-v14606332/set-up-strainer-bars-c3954141 2026-10-24T04:53:05.614Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MvT90d-pdBo/hqdefault.jpg Set Up Strainer Bars — Dozer accidentally destroyed it! The first step in the repair process is to install wedge-style strainer bars. Position a strainer bar on the existing fence on either side of the damaged section. The strainer bar has a profile that matches the fence wire. Slide the fence wire into the bar. Drive the wedges into the bar with a hammer to secure and tension the wire. It's recommended to apply a little light oil to the wedges for smoother operation. As you drive a wedge, the one above it might loosen, so you'll need to work your way down and up the bar to ensure all wedges are tight. The wedges never directly touch the wire, preventing damage to the wire's surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvT90d-pdBo 216 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dozer-accidentally-destroyed-it-v14606332/attach-boundary-strainers-and-anchor-chains-c3954142 2026-10-24T04:53:05.614Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MvT90d-pdBo/hqdefault.jpg Attach Boundary Strainers and Anchor Chains — Dozer accidentally destroyed it! Attach boundary strainers to the strained fence wires. The video demonstrates using anchor chains as extensions with the boundary strainers. There are several options for boundary strainers, including snap hook ends, D-shackle ends, or flat hook ends; the choice depends on personal preference. When attaching the chains to the boundary strainers, ensure the chain is as straight as possible, without any twists. This is crucial because if the chains are twisted, the 'dogs' (latching mechanism) on the boundary strainer will not properly latch onto the links, making tensioning difficult and requiring extra effort to rectify. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvT90d-pdBo 174 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dozer-accidentally-destroyed-it-v14606332/cut-out-damaged-wire-and-install-crimp-sleeves-c3954143 2026-10-24T04:53:05.614Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MvT90d-pdBo/hqdefault.jpg Cut Out Damaged Wire and Install Crimp Sleeves — Dozer accidentally destroyed it!

The final step involves tying the fence to the posts. For a woven wire fence, if you're pulling the fence wire *down* to the post, you should start tying from the bottom up. Conversely, if you're pulling the fence wire *up* to the post, you should start tying from the top down. Use wire ties, which are specialized pieces of wire that are squeezed together and inserted into a chuck attachment on a drill. The drill then twists the ends of the tie, securing it tightly around the post and the fence wire, and eventually breaking off the excess ends for a clean, safe finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvT90d-pdBo 106 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/progress-on-the-mega-shopfeeding-cows-and-more-v14606333 2026-10-24T04:50:13.192Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sz3syByukdM/hqdefault.jpg 🔴 Progress on the Mega Shop..feeding cows and more This video captures a farmer's daily routine, focusing on the process of unrolling hay bales for his cattle using an ATV and a specialized hay unroller.

Don't you think there's an easier way? The narrator identifies a critical failure with the PTO-driven wood chipper: a broken shear pin (which is actually a shear bolt). He explains that this happens when the PTO engages too abruptly or if a piece of wood that is too large is fed into the chipper, causing sudden, excessive torque. The shear bolt is designed to break under such stress, protecting the tractor's PTO shaft and the chipper's internal components from damage. He also mentions that a proper design would involve a slip clutch instead of a shear pin for smoother operation, but demonstrates how to replace the shear bolt with a new Grade 8 bolt and a nyloc nut. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hwU1jcQDDd0 169 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-just-keep-breaking-it-dont-you-think-theres-an-easier-way-v14606346/introducing-the-handheld-electric-chainsaw-c3954038 2026-10-24T04:52:55.872Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hwU1jcQDDd0/hqdefault.jpg Introducing the Handheld Electric Chainsaw — I just keep breaking it!

How? Why? The video introduces the concept of regenerative farming as opposed to conventional farming practices, particularly in the context of a 'worn out, over-grazed, overused, no topsoil farm' in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The speaker explains that regenerative farming aims to build soil and increase biodiversity, contrasting it with conventional methods that often lead to soil degradation, as seen in historical events like the Dust Bowl. The core message is to stop tilling the soil and instead foster a multi-species ecosystem. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5cbiBZ6oLg 171 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/regenerative-farming-how-why-v14606347/implement-notill-practices-c3953550 2026-10-24T04:52:23.607Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H5cbiBZ6oLg/hqdefault.jpg Implement No-Till Practices — Regenerative farming? How? Why? The key to regenerative farming is avoiding tillage. Tillage, whether in organic or conventional settings, disrupts the biological material and microbes in the soil, effectively 'baking' and 'roasting' the beneficial organisms. This sterilization destroys the soil ecosystem. Instead of turning the soil, the practice should focus on promoting natural processes that build and protect the soil's structure and inhabitants. This also prevents the soil from being exposed directly to the sun and wind, which invites weeds and leads to erosion. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5cbiBZ6oLg 156 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/regenerative-farming-how-why-v14606347/cultivate-multispecies-pastures-c3953551 2026-10-24T04:52:23.607Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H5cbiBZ6oLg/hqdefault.jpg Cultivate Multi-Species Pastures — Regenerative farming? How? Why? Introduce multi-species pastures instead of monoculture crops. Multi-species pastures include a variety of plants, animals, and fungi working together to create a biodiverse soil. Animals, particularly ruminants like cows, play a vital role. They graze, stimulating grass growth, trample organic material (like hay) into the soil, and their manure (feces and urine) acts as a natural fertilizer. This process feeds worms, microbes, and fungi, which are essential for regenerating the soil. This approach mimics natural ecosystems where diverse species thrive together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5cbiBZ6oLg 170 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/regenerative-farming-how-why-v14606347/practice-intensive-rotational-grazing-c3953552 2026-10-24T04:52:23.607Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H5cbiBZ6oLg/hqdefault.jpg Practice Intensive Rotational Grazing — Regenerative farming? How? Why? To maximize soil health and grass recovery, implement intensive rotational grazing. This involves moving animals frequently (daily or every few days) to small plots of land. This prevents overgrazing, allowing grass to stay in its 'teenage growth spurt' phase, where it grows rapidly and recovers quickly. It also encourages both above-ground and below-ground growth (roots), further building soil structure. Move animals before they have a chance to overgraze an area. This technique is often referred to as 'mob grazing' in farming circles. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5cbiBZ6oLg 240 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/regenerative-farming-how-why-v14606347/manage-manure-and-spread-nutrients-c3953553 2026-10-24T04:52:23.607Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H5cbiBZ6oLg/hqdefault.jpg Manage Manure and Spread Nutrients — Regenerative farming? How? Why? After animals have grazed a paddock, further spread out their manure and stimulate the soil. This can be done by dragging pastures with a harrow or, more ecologically, by introducing chickens. Chickens will scratch and spread the manure, consuming insects and distributing nutrients, contributing to the mechanical work of incorporating the organic matter into the soil. This helps distribute beneficial nutrients and microbes throughout the pasture, enhancing overall soil fertility and biodiversity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5cbiBZ6oLg 11 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/ford-raptorbuyer-beware-why-choose-a-used-raptor-over-any-12-ton-v14606349 2026-10-24T04:48:41.142Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kw8UTNwzbDk/hqdefault.jpg Ford Raptor...buyer beware?

How I combated the problem Once a chicken's wings are clipped, its ability to fly is significantly reduced, impacting its defense against predators and its access to high roosts. Therefore, it's vital to ensure roosting bars inside the coop are no higher than about two and a half to three feet (over knee-high) so the chickens can easily jump onto them. Additionally, because clipped chickens are more vulnerable, robust security measures are paramount. The video showcases an 'automatic chicken coop door' (specifically, the 'Chicken Guard' brand) that opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, programmable with a photo eye. This door features latches that prevent predators from forcing it open from below. Electrified poultry netting, powered by a solar charger (e.g., an 'IntelliShock 60'), should also be used around the free-range area to deter predators by delivering a mild shock. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8vrkU99JW0w 128 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/predators-strike-back-how-i-combated-the-problem-v14606352/clip-wings-at-optimal-time-c3737128 2026-10-22T22:19:48.656Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8vrkU99JW0w/hqdefault.jpg Clip Wings at Optimal Time — Predators strike back….

How to Buy a good Used Skid Steer, wh The video opens with footage of a John Deere 250 skid steer operating in muddy conditions, showcasing the challenges of a wheeled machine in such environments. The host, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, introduces the topic of buying a good used skid steer for farm, property, or business use, focusing on a Gehl RT210 compact track loader. He explains that his new track machine is replacing his old wheeled John Deere 250, highlighting tracks as a significant upgrade for farm work, especially in muddy or steep terrain. He advises that wheeled machines are better suited for pavement or concrete work. He emphasizes that for smaller horsepower skid steers (around 40 HP), high hours (e.g., 2000 hours) are a concern, as the engine likely worked very hard. However, for higher horsepower machines (70-100 HP), higher hours are less of a concern because the engine is not as stressed. He notes that his Gehl RT210 has a 74-75 HP engine with only 280 hours, which was a great deal, but he warns against older, low-hour machines as lack of use can lead to issues with hydraulic components. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MgkmsHQM8wY 340 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/dont-get-burned-how-to-buy-a-good-used-skid-steer-wheels-vs-tracks-v14606353/external-and-hydraulic-inspection-c3951826 2026-10-24T04:48:41.156Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MgkmsHQM8wY/hqdefault.jpg External and Hydraulic Inspection — DONT GET BURNED!

He states that manure can be tested to confirm the need for deworming. Additionally, proper pasture management is crucial: keeping animals moving to prevent overgrazing, keeping them out of their manure, and maintaining a taller grass height (5-7 cm) as worms tend to reside in shorter, moister grass near the ground. If necessary, cattle are still medicated, with careful consideration given to withdrawal periods before processing meat or breeding. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UQhHclHyhPM 122 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/nasty-north-carolina-weather-live-around-the-farm-in-the-snow-v14606362 2026-10-24T04:50:05.275Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HsVaIPLqku0/hqdefault.jpg Nasty North Carolina Weather!

The primary objectives are to feed the cattle and then drag the pasture. The narrator explains that the pasture contains approximately 6,000 pounds of manure patties from the cows being fed hay over 10 days. The core purpose of dragging is to break down and distribute this manure, allowing its nutrients to integrate into the soil, enhance microbial activity, and attract earthworms. This process helps build soil health, conserve moisture, and reduce the farm's dependence on synthetic fertilizers and lime, thereby saving money and fostering a thriving ecosystem. The plan also includes unrolling hay strategically on bare land to promote grass regeneration. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BWadguSlBpM 198 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-is-farm-lifein-case-ya-didnt-know-v14606365/prepare-and-fuel-the-tractor-c3951818 2026-10-24T04:48:41.227Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BWadguSlBpM/hqdefault.jpg Prepare and Fuel the Tractor — This is FARM LIFE....In case ya didn't know Before beginning the physical tasks, the red TYM T1104 tractor is prepared. The operator gets into the cab, inserts the key into the ignition, and starts the 110-horsepower cab tractor. A check of the fuel gauge reveals a low diesel level. To address this and maintain engine health, a bottle of Techron Diesel Fuel System Cleaner is poured into the tractor's fuel tank after unlocking and removing the fuel cap. Following this, the tractor is refueled with diesel from a utility fuel tank mounted on the bed of a Dodge Ram 2500 SLT truck, ensuring sufficient fuel for the upcoming pasture dragging operation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BWadguSlBpM 33 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-is-farm-lifein-case-ya-didnt-know-v14606365/feed-cattle-using-the-bale-unroller-c3951820 2026-10-24T04:48:41.227Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BWadguSlBpM/hqdefault.jpg Feed Cattle using the Bale Unroller — This is FARM LIFE....In case ya didn't know To feed the cattle, the operator first retrieves a red Toyota truck, drives it to the pasture entrance, and then gets out to disable and open the electric fence. This involves unlatching the polywire from the solar-powered energizer and opening a metal gate. Once access is clear, the operator returns to the truck, drives it further into the pasture, retrieves a Honda Foreman 500 ATV with a Greg Judy Bale Unroller attached. The ATV is then used to tow the bale unroller, spreading hay in a designated area. The cows, having been confined to the pasture for some time, eagerly follow the ATV as the hay bale is slowly unrolled along a bare patch of land. This process is repeated for a second hay bale, with the operator manually assisting the unrolling process, ensuring the hay is distributed across specific bare patches of land to encourage grass growth and provide organic material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BWadguSlBpM 303 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-is-farm-lifein-case-ya-didnt-know-v14606365/drag-the-pasture-with-a-harrow-c3951821 2026-10-24T04:48:41.227Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BWadguSlBpM/hqdefault.jpg Drag the Pasture with a Harrow — This is FARM LIFE....In case ya didn't know Following the cattle feeding, the main task of pasture dragging commences. The operator, using the previously prepared TYM T1104 tractor, attaches a Winfield Drag Harrow to its rear three-point hitch. The tractor then proceeds to drive across the pasture, pulling the drag harrow. The harrow's chains and tines effectively break apart the large manure patties left by the cattle, spreading the organic matter uniformly across the field. Simultaneously, the harrow lightly scarifies the soil surface, creating small divots that help aerate the soil and improve its ability to absorb moisture. The process ensures that nutrients are evenly distributed and integrated into the soil, preventing localized nutrient buildup and promoting consistent grass growth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BWadguSlBpM 215 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-is-farm-lifein-case-ya-didnt-know-v14606365/review-of-regenerative-benefits-and-soil-health-improvement-c3951822 2026-10-24T04:48:41.227Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BWadguSlBpM/hqdefault.jpg Review of Regenerative Benefits and Soil Health Improvement — This is FARM LIFE....In case ya didn't After successfully dragging the pasture, the narrator concludes by reiterating the significant benefits of this regenerative practice. All the visible manure patties have been broken down and evenly spread across the field. This action, combined with the earlier hay unrolling, actively introduces oxygen into the soil, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter, and encourages a healthy population of beneficial microbes and earthworms. The integrated approach ensures that nutrients are naturally recycled, soil structure is improved, and moisture retention is enhanced. The narrator proudly states that this method has dramatically increased the soil's biological material content, bringing it from a mere 0.03% to potentially over 5% within just a few years, a process that typically takes 50 years with conventional methods. This underscores the farm's commitment to building a sustainable and thriving ecosystem. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BWadguSlBpM 36 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/amazing-chain-storage-hack-easiest-way-to-store-carry-and-organize-v14606366 2026-10-23T00:26:09.889Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hOWVgFGrrpA/hqdefault.jpg Amazing Chain Storage Hack!

The existing poly pipe runs through a fence line. First, identify the locations where the fittings have burst due to freezing. Disconnect the old, broken fittings from the 1/2 inch poly pipe using a poly pipe cutter to ensure a clean cut if necessary. Then, install new press-on barb compression fittings onto the poly pipe. Attach a new hose bib with a shut-off valve to one of the new fittings, which will temporarily connect to the cattle water tank. This allows for manual control of water flow. Ensure all connections are secure. Using press-on barb compression fittings without additional clamps allows the fittings to separate rather than the pipe bursting if frozen, thus preventing more extensive damage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zWIhRIo3lmc 220 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-was-badlessons-learned-everyday-on-the-farm-v14606375/relocate-cattle-water-tank-and-prime-siphon-c3952361 2026-10-24T04:49:36.222Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zWIhRIo3lmc/hqdefault.jpg Relocate Cattle Water Tank and Prime Siphon — This was bad...lessons learned everyday on the farm To address a muddy water tank area, disconnect the existing 1/2 inch poly pipe from the water tank. Extend the poly pipe by connecting additional sections of pipe using press-on barb compression fittings. Move the water tank to a drier, more suitable location within the pasture. Next, attach a drill pump to the end of the poly pipe using a garden hose connector. Insert the intake of the drill pump into the poly pipe coming from the pond. Power the drill pump with a cordless drill to create suction, drawing water through the extended poly pipe and priming the siphon. This ensures continuous water flow to the newly positioned tank. Once the siphon is established and water is flowing steadily, remove the drill pump and seal the end of the poly pipe that was connected to it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zWIhRIo3lmc 180 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/easiest-way-to-properly-sharpen-any-chainsaw-v14606376 2026-10-22T22:06:24.501Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_HerTQSf2ZY/hqdefault.jpg Easiest way to properly sharpen any chainsaw!

Next, make a felling cut (back cut) from the opposite side, slightly above the horizontal cut of the notch, cutting towards the notch. Monitor the tree's movement closely. Due to the tree being dead, it may fall sooner than a live tree. As the tree falls, quickly move to your pre-planned escape path. Once the tree is on the ground, some parts, especially those that hit the ground forcefully, may split or become unusable for milling. The creator uses a Stihl MS 661 chainsaw for this task, which is a large and powerful saw suitable for big trees. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iy3KyZjieaM 163 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/biggest-tree-ive-ever-cut-v14606385/delimb-and-buck-logs-to-length-c3952303 2026-10-24T04:49:29.636Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Iy3KyZjieaM/hqdefault.jpg Delimb and Buck Logs to Length — biggest tree I've ever cut! After the tree is felled, the next step is to delimb it (remove branches) and buck it into usable log lengths for the sawmill. For this project, the logs need to be approximately 8 feet long to create 2x12 planks for the planter beds. Use a measuring tape and sticks to mark the cut points along the main trunk. Prioritize cuts that avoid knots or significant curvature, as these sections may be unusable or reduce the quality of the milled lumber. Also, cut off any sections that split during felling. The creator uses the Stihl MS 661 Chainsaw for bucking and delimbing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iy3KyZjieaM 307 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/biggest-tree-ive-ever-cut-v14606385/transport-and-stack-logs-c3952304 2026-10-24T04:49:29.636Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Iy3KyZjieaM/hqdefault.jpg Transport and Stack Logs — biggest tree I've ever cut!

This project details how to manage round hay bales on a farm by showcasing the process of unloading them from a trailer, transporting them across the property using a tractor, and then unrolling them in pastures. The primary goal is to improve soil health and grass quality by distributing organic matter and manure, which helps regulate soil pH and provides essential nutrients to the land. The video emphasizes the economic and ecological benefits of this method over traditional baling and chemical fertilization. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4BzTAuyw7sQ 1180 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-gotta-expect-this-from-a-cummins-dodge-v14606387/hay-season-overview-and-soil-health-strategy-c3953060 2026-10-24T04:51:49.212Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4BzTAuyw7sQ/hqdefault.jpg Hay Season Overview and Soil Health Strategy — You gotta expect this from a Cummins Dodge! The video opens with the farmer, Josh, from Stoney Ridge Farmer, discussing the current 'Hay Day' activities. He explains his strategy of purchasing hay bales, specifically 4x5 round bales, rather than baling his own, citing cost-effectiveness due to the expense of baling equipment (tractors, balers, rakes, tires, chains, belts). He mentions acquiring spring bales from earlier in the year and additional 'old hay' from another farmer. The core of his strategy is to use the hay, particularly the approximately 10% outer layer that is usually wasted by cows, to improve soil health. This 'waste' is spread on pastures, allowing it to decompose and act as natural fertilizer, referred to as 'butt fertilizer' or manure. This process introduces carbon and manure into the soil, which helps to raise the soil's pH (from his farm's acidic pH 4 to a more neutral 7.2-7.5), thereby promoting healthier grass growth year after year. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4BzTAuyw7sQ 229 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-gotta-expect-this-from-a-cummins-dodge-v14606387/prepare-tractor-and-attach-hay-spear-c3953061 2026-10-24T04:51:49.212Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4BzTAuyw7sQ/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Tractor and Attach Hay Spear — You gotta expect this from a Cummins Dodge!

He then carefully attaches a Tarter Farm and Ranch Quick Attach Hay Spear to the front loader of the tractor. He notes that while the tractor is small, its lift capacity is impressive, allowing it to handle the large 4x5 hay bales, even though he initially thought it might be too small for the task. The hay spear is then secured, making the tractor ready to move the bales. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4BzTAuyw7sQ 198 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-gotta-expect-this-from-a-cummins-dodge-v14606387/unload-hay-bales-from-trailer-c3953062 2026-10-24T04:51:49.212Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4BzTAuyw7sQ/hqdefault.jpg Unload Hay Bales from Trailer — You gotta expect this from a Cummins Dodge! Using the TYM T254 tractor with the hay spear, the farmer carefully picks up each round hay bale from the trailer. He then backs up and detaches the bale, allowing it to roll off the trailer onto the ground. He repeats this process for all the bales on the trailer, lining them up neatly in the farmyard near the pasture. He emphasizes the efficiency of unloading the hay bales directly where they will eventually be used or stored, saving extra transport time later. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4BzTAuyw7sQ 159 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-gotta-expect-this-from-a-cummins-dodge-v14606387/unroll-hay-bales-in-pasture-c3953063 2026-10-24T04:51:49.212Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4BzTAuyw7sQ/hqdefault.jpg Unroll Hay Bales in Pasture — You gotta expect this from a Cummins Dodge!

He then switches to a larger green John Deere tractor to demonstrate the unrolling of hay bales in the pasture. He attaches the hay spear to the rear of the tractor. Driving slowly across the field, the tractor's movement causes the round hay bale to unroll, spreading the hay evenly across the ground. This method distributes organic material and manure, helping to increase the soil's carbon content and pH. He points out a trail of white dust in the field from a 'lime truck' that had previously applied pelletized lime, but he reiterates his preference for the hay and manure method for soil improvement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4BzTAuyw7sQ 421 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/you-gotta-expect-this-from-a-cummins-dodge-v14606387/transport-and-stack-remaining-hay-bales-in-shed-c3953064 2026-10-24T04:51:49.212Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4BzTAuyw7sQ/hqdefault.jpg Transport and Stack Remaining Hay Bales in Shed — You gotta expect this from a Cummins Dodge!

With the topsoil dumped, the smaller red TYM TX25 tractor ('Little T'), equipped with a front-end loader and a backhoe attachment, is driven to the mound of new soil. The operator utilizes the front-end loader to methodically spread and grade the topsoil across the eroded areas. This involves pushing the soil to fill in deep ruts and smoothing out the terrain to create a uniform, healthy surface. The narrator emphasizes the goal of addressing the 'land cancer' by covering the acidic red dirt with the rich new topsoil. This process prepares the ground for future planting of grass seed and application of straw, which will be aided by upcoming rain. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gJNQ9N61ZXg 112 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-time-mother-nature-did-it-v14606396/seed-mulch-and-ongoing-remediation-c3953666 2026-10-24T04:52:29.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gJNQ9N61ZXg/hqdefault.jpg Seed, Mulch, and Ongoing Remediation — This time mother nature did it!! After the topsoil has been spread and graded, the next step, as mentioned by the narrator, is to add grass seed and straw. This helps to stabilize the newly placed soil and encourages vegetation growth. The expectation of upcoming rain is a key factor, as it will naturally water the seeds and help establish the new grass. The narrator notes that several more loads of topsoil will be brought in to address additional eroded areas, including plans to fence off the pond from future pastures and potentially use the backhoe for trenching water systems. The repaired area, once a 'red dirt disaster,' is transformed into a rich, dark soil bed, ready for new growth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gJNQ9N61ZXg 99 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whos-throwing-tires-in-my-creek-shorts-v14606397 2026-10-23T00:22:21.952Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iP0T4Qk5PbM/hqdefault.jpg Who’s throwing tires in my creek!! #shorts This project focuses on revitalizing outdoor patio surfaces by thoroughly cleaning them with a pressure washer to remove embedded dirt, unsightly algae, and stubborn grime, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal and welcoming nature of the outdoor space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iP0T4Qk5PbM 16 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whos-throwing-tires-in-my-creek-shorts-v14606397/prepare-and-pressure-wash-patio-surfaces-c3797846 2026-10-23T00:22:21.952Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iP0T4Qk5PbM/hqdefault.jpg Prepare and Pressure Wash Patio Surfaces — Who’s throwing tires in my creek!! #shorts Begin by clearing the patio surface of any movable objects such as furniture, planters, or decorations. Sweep away loose debris, leaves, and large dirt particles. Connect the pressure washer to a water source and an appropriate power outlet. Select a suitable nozzle for patio cleaning, typically a 25-degree (green) or 40-degree (white) nozzle, which provides a wider spray pattern and less aggressive pressure, reducing the risk of damaging the patio surface. If using a cleaning solution, prepare it according to the manufacturer's instructions and load it into the pressure washer's detergent tank or apply it directly to the patio surface. Start pressure washing by holding the wand at a consistent distance (e.g., 10-12 inches) from the surface and sweeping in overlapping strokes to ensure even cleaning and prevent streaking. Focus on areas with heavy dirt, algae, or grime build-up. Once cleaning is complete, thoroughly rinse the patio surface with clean water to remove any remaining detergent or loosened debris. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iP0T4Qk5PbM 16 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-they-didnt-tell-ya-about-your-septic-system-v14606398 2026-10-22T22:16:12.054Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w3rTso1RGiM/hqdefault.jpg What they didn't tell ya about your SEPTIC SYSTEM!!

He introduces the 'Down John' annual septic tank treatment, explaining that it's a product he uses for his own septic system on his 150-acre property. He clarifies that this is not a sponsored video and briefly mentions that the treatment helps digest grease, grime, bleach, and other nastiness to keep the septic system healthy and fresh. https://www.youtube.com/embed/w3rTso1RGiM 48 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-they-didnt-tell-ya-about-your-septic-system-v14606398/unboxing-and-explanation-of-treatment-c3732376 2026-10-22T22:16:12.054Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w3rTso1RGiM/hqdefault.jpg Unboxing and Explanation of Treatment — What they didn't tell ya about your SEPTIC SYSTEM!! The presenter humorously sits on a toilet to discuss the importance of septic tank care. He holds up the 'Down John' box and explains it is an annual septic tank treatment, differing from monthly or bi-monthly products. He describes it as a revolutionary three-part treatment for anaerobic septic systems that digests grease, grime, and other nastiness. He explains the basic function of a septic system: water from the toilet, shower, and sink flows into the septic tank (or distribution box), where digestion begins, and the liquid then flows into the leach field for soil processing. He stresses that a healthy septic tank needs the right enzymes and bacteria to digest waste, which is where the treatment comes in. https://www.youtube.com/embed/w3rTso1RGiM 128 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-they-didnt-tell-ya-about-your-septic-system-v14606398/detailed-breakdown-of-3part-treatment-c3732385 2026-10-22T22:16:12.054Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w3rTso1RGiM/hqdefault.jpg Detailed Breakdown of 3-Part Treatment — What they didn't tell ya about your SEPTIC SYSTEM!! The presenter opens the 'Down John' box to reveal three distinct packages, each intended for a different day of treatment. He describes them as follows: * **Package 1 (Day 1):** A charcoal-like, carbon-based material. This component is designed to remove household chemicals, bleach, detergents, and soaps that typically kill beneficial septic tank bacteria. It also provides an excellent matrix for improved bacterial growth. * **Package 2 (Day 2):** A brown liquid (shown in a small bottle). This is a safe, proprietary bacterial blend that colonizes the tank, providing constant waste digestion and helping to prevent unpleasant septic tank odors. * **Package 3 (Day 3):** A white powder (shown in another small bottle). This is a high-activity enzyme that dissolves any grease that has built up in the septic tank. He reiterates that maintaining a balanced bacterial ecosystem is crucial for proper septic system function and odor prevention. He advises pumping the septic tank if it's already full, but for ongoing issues or general maintenance, this treatment can be a solution. https://www.youtube.com/embed/w3rTso1RGiM 131 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-they-didnt-tell-ya-about-your-septic-system-v14606398/applying-first-treatment-package-c3732391 2026-10-22T22:16:12.054Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w3rTso1RGiM/hqdefault.jpg Applying First Treatment Package — What they didn't tell ya about your SEPTIC SYSTEM!!

The process involves using a tractor-mounted broadcast seeder, calculating the appropriate application rates, and strategically spreading the materials across the pasture. The goal is to correct acidic soil conditions, which encourages the growth of beneficial grasses and clovers, leading to better forage for livestock and reduced need for synthetic fertilizers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6b5Xj02Y4e8 930 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/acid-on-the-farm-i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606402/understand-soil-health-and-gather-materials-c3953667 2026-10-24T04:52:29.630Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6b5Xj02Y4e8/hqdefault.jpg Understand Soil Health and Gather Materials — Acid on the farm! I sure hope this works! The video introduces the project's goal: improving soil health. The presenter explains that weeds and undesirable grasses indicate poor soil conditions, particularly low pH. He emphasizes that fixing the soil pH is crucial before applying fertilizers. The goal is to raise the soil pH from around 4 to closer to 6. The primary material for this is 'Solu Cal' (also referred to as 'Fast Cal'), a 'hyped-up lime' that is three times more potent than traditional lime, meaning one bag of Solu Cal is equivalent to three bags of regular lime. He plans to spread four bags of Solu Cal per acre. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6b5Xj02Y4e8 211 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/acid-on-the-farm-i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606402/calculate-application-rate-and-load-fast-cal-c3953668 2026-10-24T04:52:29.630Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6b5Xj02Y4e8/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Application Rate and Load Fast Cal — Acid on the farm! I sure hope this works! The presenter calculates the required application rate for the Fast Cal. He notes that the bags recommend 440 to 550 pounds per acre, which translates to 10 to 12.5 pounds per 1000 square feet. After confirming with Siri that an acre is 43,560 square feet, he determines that 10 bags of Fast Cal are needed per acre. He sets the Tar River broadcast seeder to a setting of '5' to achieve an application rate of approximately 400-550 pounds per acre. He then cuts open the Fast Cal bags using a Milwaukee Fastback utility knife and pours the granular lime into the seeder's hopper. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6b5Xj02Y4e8 129 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/acid-on-the-farm-i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606402/spread-fast-cal-and-clover-seed-c3953670 2026-10-24T04:52:29.630Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6b5Xj02Y4e8/hqdefault.jpg Spread Fast Cal and Clover Seed — Acid on the farm!

The seeder dispenses the Fast Cal in a broad, even pattern as the tractor moves. He maneuvers the tractor to cover the targeted areas, aiming for even distribution. Following the lime application, he loads two bags of Medium Top Ladino Clover Seed into the same broadcast seeder. He ensures the seeder is set to a very light spread rate for the clover. He then drives the tractor over the same areas, broadcasting the clover seed to complement the lime in improving soil health and pasture quality. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6b5Xj02Y4e8 223 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/acid-on-the-farm-i-sure-hope-this-works-v14606402/review-and-future-planning-c3953671 2026-10-24T04:52:29.630Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6b5Xj02Y4e8/hqdefault.jpg Review and Future Planning — Acid on the farm! I sure hope this works! The presenter concludes the project by reiterating the successful application of calcium supplement (Fast Cal) and clover seed to improve soil pH. He emphasizes that this approach is fundamental for building healthy soil, especially when dealing with large properties. He advises that for smaller properties (5-10 acres), a full application is feasible, but for larger farms (like his 150-acre property), it's more practical to budget and work on smaller sections (e.g., 5-acre pieces) over time. He recommends checking the manual for your specific broadcast spreader or finding it online to determine accurate settings and application rates. This strategic soil management will result in lush, healthy pastures in the future. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6b5Xj02Y4e8 96 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/were-this-close-lets-put-the-tractor-to-work-v14606404 2026-10-24T04:52:58.087Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZI1gQiA0bq8/hqdefault.jpg We're this close!

Let's put the tractor to work! The farmer prepares to load the small seed hopper with two types of clover: Ladino clover (medium, common in yards with white tops) and medium red clover (slightly larger seed). He plans to mix these two types roughly half-and-half using a scoop. He mentions that the typical seeding rate for clover is about 3 pounds per acre, but using the precision seed drill allows for a reduced rate of about 30 pounds per acre for the fescue/ryegrass mix, making the seed go further compared to broadcast spreading. This method also saves time and money and provides 'trampling' for the seeds. He explains that after seeding, cattle will be moved into the pasture to help press the seeds into the ground. Clover is crucial for nitrogen fixation, which feeds the soil, especially given the current poor pH of the soil (4.0-4.2). He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a proper balance (no more than 20% clover) to prevent bloat in cattle. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZI1gQiA0bq8 27 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/were-this-close-lets-put-the-tractor-to-work-v14606404/operating-the-seed-drill-c3954057 2026-10-24T04:52:58.087Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZI1gQiA0bq8/hqdefault.jpg Operating the Seed Drill — We're this close!

Will it hol The presenter and Tony (the owner) provide specific details about the building's dimensions: 84 feet wide by 55 feet long, with two 12-foot by 55-foot lean-tos. The construction type is described as a 'skeleton square tubing building' with welded trusses, designed to withstand high winds (150 mph). The exterior features vertical metal siding, which costs more than horizontal siding. Inside, the wall panels are screwed onto 4-foot on-center steel supports. The presenter notes that the outer walls and roof will be insulated with spray foam. He expresses concerns about the door's threshold being a tripping hazard and the use of economy-type foam-filled plastic doors (like a mobile home door). A generator is briefly visible in one of the lean-tos, but no discussion occurs regarding its enclosure or sound attenuation. The estimated cost for the building structure before insulation, electrical, or plumbing is approximately $200,000, equating to about $10 per square foot for the concrete. Tony also had to provide a man lift, which is an additional cost for the building's erection. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XIcn3xWVZOg 469 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/farm-fence-like-youve-never-seen-day-2-usa-farm-fencing-competition-v14606406 2026-10-24T04:50:08.220Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z9EXG8ZJSrY/hqdefault.jpg Farm Fence Like you've never seen!

With posts set, teams begin pulling the Tornado Wire (Torus Squareknot) along the fence lines. A critical aspect shown is the creation of termination knots and splices in the wire, particularly a 'figure eight knot' which requires precise wrapping by hand. For optimal fence function, staples must be alternating (two then skip, then one) and loosely placed, allowing the wire to move freely with temperature changes and animal pressure, preventing damage to the posts. The final steps involve careful tensioning of the wire using chain strainers and ensuring all segments are perfectly aligned and spaced according to the judge's specifications. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hxcqe6DN6Fk 257 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/fencing-competition-with-a-modern-twist-v14606407/final-judging-and-fence-analysis-c3952496 2026-10-24T04:49:44.770Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hxcqe6DN6Fk/hqdefault.jpg Final Judging and Fence Analysis — Fencing competition with a modern twist!

Before starting the milling operation, perform essential checks on the Wood-Mizer sawmill. First, check the engine oil level. Next, adjust the blade tension: the operator typically loosens the blade tension to about 800 PSI when not in use to prolong blade life, and then tightens it to the recommended 2800-3000 PSI before milling. Finally, ensure the Lube Mizer reservoir is filled with soapy water (a mixture of approximately 1 pint of Dawn dish detergent per reservoir of water), which is essential for lubricating the blade to prevent overheating and premature wear while cutting through logs. The debarker system is also highlighted, noting that its engagement is indicated by a flashing light and it uses carbide bits to remove bark, protecting the main saw blade from dirt and debris. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bGx0T8ZMgqc 113 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-broke-the-sawmilland-the-truck-v14606408/farm-chores-water-tank-and-fuel-management-c3953271 2026-10-24T04:52:05.027Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bGx0T8ZMgqc/hqdefault.jpg Farm Chores: Water Tank and Fuel Management — I BROKE THE SAWMILL...AND THE TRUCK! While preparing for milling, other farm chores are completed. This includes using an ATV to visit cattle and manage their water supply. A smaller 100-gallon water tank is replaced with a larger 160-gallon tank to provide more water for the curious cows. A DeWalt drill pump attached to a cordless drill is used to drain the existing water from the tank, which is then filled with fresh water. Additionally, fuel for the various engines on the farm needs to be replenished. The primary truck used for hauling runs out of gas, and another truck (a 1999 Dodge truck which subsequently blows a brake line) must be used to retrieve non-ethanol gasoline from a gas station. Techron fuel additive is added to the mill's fuel tank to ensure smooth engine operation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bGx0T8ZMgqc 287 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-broke-the-sawmilland-the-truck-v14606408/log-loading-and-debarking-c3953272 2026-10-24T04:52:05.027Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bGx0T8ZMgqc/hqdefault.jpg Log Loading and Debarking — I BROKE THE SAWMILL...AND THE TRUCK!

This process protects the main saw blade from dulling quickly due to foreign materials embedded in the bark. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bGx0T8ZMgqc 97 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-broke-the-sawmilland-the-truck-v14606408/milling-the-cherry-lumber-c3953273 2026-10-24T04:52:05.027Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bGx0T8ZMgqc/hqdefault.jpg Milling the Cherry Lumber — I BROKE THE SAWMILL...AND THE TRUCK! After debarking, begin the process of milling the cherry logs into lumber. Operate the Wood-Mizer sawmill, carefully guiding the blade through the log. The first cut typically produces a 'slab' or 'flitch,' which is often irregular and might be used for stickers (thin strips to separate lumber for drying). Remove the initial slab, brush off any sawdust, and wet the surface to reveal the beautiful grain and rich red color of the cherry heartwood. Continue cutting subsequent boards and slabs, demonstrating the transformation of the rough log into valuable lumber. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bGx0T8ZMgqc 151 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-broke-the-sawmilland-the-truck-v14606408/lumber-handling-storage-and-lessons-learned-c3953274 2026-10-24T04:52:05.027Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bGx0T8ZMgqc/hqdefault.jpg Lumber Handling, Storage, and Lessons Learned — I BROKE THE SAWMILL...AND THE TRUCK! Once boards and live edge slabs are cut, offload them from the sawmill. Lumber such as oak and pine can typically be stored outdoors, but valuable cherry lumber, especially the beautiful heartwood, needs to be protected from the elements. The milled cherry is intended for special projects, such as building a bedroom suite, and will be stored in a barn to preserve its quality. During the milling process, always be vigilant to avoid hitting metal objects (referred to as 'dogs' in the video) with the saw blade, as this can quickly damage or 'ruin' the blade, requiring immediate replacement. Despite the occasional setback, the overall process is productive and rewarding. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bGx0T8ZMgqc 177 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/this-could-have-been-dangerous-v14606409 2026-10-24T04:52:45.229Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K9RS3KLBYKQ/hqdefault.jpg This could have been dangerous!

Industrial operations often involve animals confined in small spaces, fed corn (a diet not natural to their digestive system), and given antibiotics to prevent illness due to stress and unnatural conditions. Regenerative farming, conversely, allows animals to graze on diverse pastures, moving frequently, which keeps them healthy without the need for antibiotics and contributes to soil health. This foundational knowledge is crucial for making informed food choices. https://www.youtube.com/embed/F0w-ZpabEgo 53 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/farmers-just-fed-up-americas-overmedicated-food-system-v14606419/identify-nutritional-differences-in-meat-c3953566 2026-10-24T04:52:23.754Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F0w-ZpabEgo/hqdefault.jpg Identify Nutritional Differences in Meat — FARMERS JUST FED UP!!

Sustainable farming lessons might cha The speaker explicitly states, 'It's not the grass, it's the soil.' This highlights the critical importance of soil health in any agricultural endeavor. For soil nutrient testing, this means recognizing that the visible health of your pastures (grass) is a direct reflection of the underlying soil's condition. Before implementing any grazing strategies or seeking to improve pasture yields, understanding the soil's composition, organic matter content, and nutrient levels (via laboratory testing) is paramount. This initial diagnostic step ensures that management decisions are data-driven and effectively address any foundational deficiencies. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 4 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whats-wrong-with-my-farm-sustainable-farming-lessons-might-change-v14606420/minimize-soil-compaction-c3951858 2026-10-24T04:48:41.879Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8wSi0KxKGWQ/hqdefault.jpg Minimize Soil Compaction — What's wrong with my farm? Sustainable farming lessons might change your The speaker strongly advises against driving heavy vehicles like pickup trucks and tractors across pastures, especially when the ground is wet or animals are feeding. Soil compaction crushes the intricate network of pores within the soil, reducing air and water infiltration. This negatively impacts root growth, microbial activity, and nutrient availability. To understand the extent of prior compaction and its effect on nutrient cycling, periodic soil nutrient testing can reveal depleted oxygen levels and reduced nutrient uptake capacity. Implementing practices shown, such as using ATVs or strategic bale placement on high points (not low, wet areas), helps prevent compaction, preserving the spongy, soft texture indicative of healthy, biologically active soil that retains moisture and facilitates nutrient exchange. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 71 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whats-wrong-with-my-farm-sustainable-farming-lessons-might-change-v14606420/optimize-grazing-management-c3951861 2026-10-24T04:48:41.879Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8wSi0KxKGWQ/hqdefault.jpg Optimize Grazing Management — What's wrong with my farm? Sustainable farming lessons might change yo The video discusses the benefits of rotational grazing, specifically grazing all farms twice during the non-growing winter season. It highlights that maintaining optimal plant height is key to efficient energy capture by plants (from sun rays hitting the tips of leaves). Grazing too low, particularly removing the 'daughter tiller' (the very bottom sprout of the grass plant), severely inhibits regrowth by 2-3 weeks, impacting overall forage availability and plant vitality. Regular soil nutrient testing can help monitor if these grazing patterns are supporting the soil's ability to provide essential nutrients for rapid and robust plant recovery. Poor grazing can lead to nutrient imbalances in plants, which then affects animal health. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 118 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whats-wrong-with-my-farm-sustainable-farming-lessons-might-change-v14606420/manage-forage-quality-animal-nutrition-c3951862 2026-10-24T04:48:41.879Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8wSi0KxKGWQ/hqdefault.jpg Manage Forage Quality & Animal Nutrition — What's wrong with my farm? Sustainable farming lessons mi Trees are shown to reduce lignin in forages, making them more digestible for cattle. The discussion on fescue (Kentucky 31) highlights its dual nature as both beneficial and potentially toxic due to endophyte infection. The toxin is concentrated in the first 1-2 inches of growth. Therefore, grazing fescue too short in winter can lead to animal health issues like lameness. For a comprehensive understanding of forage quality and potential nutritional deficiencies or toxicities in plants, soil nutrient testing is essential. This can reveal if soil health is contributing to poor plant growth (leading to high lignin) or if imbalances in the soil exacerbate problems with certain forage types. Supplementing animals with minerals like phosphorus is also discussed, emphasizing the direct link between what animals consume and the nutrients available in the soil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 146 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whats-wrong-with-my-farm-sustainable-farming-lessons-might-change-v14606420/select-appropriate-animal-genetics-c3951865 2026-10-24T04:48:41.879Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8wSi0KxKGWQ/hqdefault.jpg Select Appropriate Animal Genetics — What's wrong with my farm?

Smaller animals (like sheep) are even more efficient on grass. The focus is on 'grass genetics'—animals with fine bones, a large gut for processing forage, and less 'leg' (height), as more leg leads to inefficiency on grass. These animals are naturally designed to thrive solely on forage. Soil nutrient testing plays a supporting role by providing data on the land's capacity to produce high-quality forage without supplemental grain, thus guiding the selection of animal genetics that are best suited to the land's natural productivity and nutrient profile. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 62 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whats-wrong-with-my-farm-sustainable-farming-lessons-might-change-v14606420/monitor-animal-performance-and-manure-c3951867 2026-10-24T04:48:41.879Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8wSi0KxKGWQ/hqdefault.jpg Monitor Animal Performance and Manure — What's wrong with my farm? Sustainable farming lessons might Observing animal health (e.g., a thin cow on the 'death triangle' slide) indicates insufficient nutrition from the pasture. Conversely, healthy animals in lush grass reflect good forage quality. Critically, the speaker identifies animal manure as the 'most valuable asset' from a cow, highlighting its role in nutrient cycling. Each 'dollar bill' of manure enriches the soil. Soil nutrient testing directly complements these observations. If animals are not performing well, or if manure is not breaking down effectively, soil tests can pinpoint underlying nutrient deficiencies or biological imbalances that hinder nutrient cycling and pasture growth. Regular monitoring helps ensure that the 'soil biology' is effectively working to decompose manure and make nutrients available. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 67 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/whats-wrong-with-my-farm-sustainable-farming-lessons-might-change-v14606420/prioritize-longterm-soil-health-c3951868 2026-10-24T04:48:41.879Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8wSi0KxKGWQ/hqdefault.jpg Prioritize Long-Term Soil Health — What's wrong with my farm?

Josh highlights that the 'whole point' is food coming from 'good places, from good soil.' Greg reiterates that 'it all starts in the soil.' If you mistreat the soil, you will struggle. Soil nutrient testing is not a one-time event but a continuous process within this long-term vision. It allows farmers to: 1) Baseline current soil conditions, 2) Identify deficiencies or excesses, 3) Measure the effectiveness of regenerative practices (like reduced compaction, improved grazing) over time, and 4) Make informed adjustments to their management to ensure the soil continuously improves, leading to sustainable production and healthier outcomes for plants, animals, and humans. Investing in soil health is investing in the future of the farm and food system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8wSi0KxKGWQ 315 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-the-heck-is-bone-broth-youll-love-this-v14606421 2026-10-24T04:50:22.288Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IKS-oxYezeQ/hqdefault.jpg What the heck is BONE BROTH?

Ladle portions of the broth and fat into the separator. The fat will stay on top, and the broth can be drained from the bottom spout into a colander. Next, set up a two-stage straining process. Place a large colander (noodle strainer) over a clean pot. Carefully pour the broth through the colander to remove bones and large vegetable pieces. Then, pour the partially strained broth through a fine mesh strainer placed over another clean pot to remove any smaller fragments, resulting in a clear broth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IKS-oxYezeQ 289 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-the-heck-is-bone-broth-youll-love-this-v14606421/fill-jars-and-prepare-for-pressure-canning-c3953056 2026-10-24T04:50:22.288Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IKS-oxYezeQ/hqdefault.jpg Fill Jars and Prepare for Pressure Canning — What the heck is BONE BROTH? You'll love this! Pre-warm your clean canning jars by placing them in a pressure canner with 2.5 quarts of warm water, and heat it on a low setting. This prevents the jars from cracking when hot broth is added. Use canning tongs to carefully transfer the pre-warmed jars to your countertop. Place a canning funnel on the first jar and gently pour the strained broth into it, leaving about 0.5 to 0.75 inches of headspace. Repeat for all jars. Once filled, use a canning magnet to pick up hot lids from a small pot of simmering water and place them on the jars. Clean any debris from the jar rims to ensure a good seal. Place the rings on the jars, being careful as they will be hot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IKS-oxYezeQ 293 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-the-heck-is-bone-broth-youll-love-this-v14606421/pressure-can-the-broth-for-storage-c3953057 2026-10-24T04:50:22.288Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IKS-oxYezeQ/hqdefault.jpg Pressure Can the Broth for Storage — What the heck is BONE BROTH? You'll love this! Place the filled and sealed jars back into the pressure canner. Secure the canner lid. Set the pressure canner to 10 pounds of pressure (adjust for altitude if necessary) and process for 25 minutes of 'jiggling' time. After the processing time, turn off the heat and allow the pressure canner to naturally cool down. Once cooled and depressurized, carefully remove the jars. After 24 to 48 hours, remove the canning rings from the jars. Check each lid for a proper seal by tapping the center – it should have a 'crisp' sound, and the lid should be slightly indented. Properly sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place. If a jar doesn't seal, either re-process it with a new lid or store it in the refrigerator for immediate use. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IKS-oxYezeQ 192 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/some-folks-have-to-learn-fencing-the-hard-way-v14606422 2026-10-24T04:52:23.747Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yoa8Cev64hQ/hqdefault.jpg Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way!

The presenter introduces the overall topics to be covered: practical advice on building fences on a farm, showcasing the Ventrac 4500Y tractor (affectionately called 'Honey Badger'), and highlighting common mistakes to avoid in fence construction. The goal is to share knowledge that will benefit both new and experienced farmers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoa8Cev64hQ 44 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/some-folks-have-to-learn-fencing-the-hard-way-v14606422/analyze-fence-design-and-placement-c3953555 2026-10-24T04:52:23.747Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yoa8Cev64hQ/hqdefault.jpg Analyze Fence Design and Placement — Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way! Observe the cattle herd (approximately 32 Black Angus cattle) and the existing perimeter fence, which is a key component of rotational grazing. The fence is identified as Titan 13-48-12 woven wire, meaning it has 13 line wires, is 48 inches tall, and has 12-inch stay spacing between the vertical wires. This type of high-tensile woven wire is designed for durability and is sourced from Farm Fence Solutions and Tornado Wire. Additionally, the importance of maintaining an appropriate distance from natural features like creeks and flood plains is emphasized to prevent fence damage during high water events. A pipeline is shown running under a pathway to provide water for the cattle. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoa8Cev64hQ 109 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/some-folks-have-to-learn-fencing-the-hard-way-v14606422/choose-and-install-steel-fence-posts-c3953556 2026-10-24T04:52:23.747Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yoa8Cev64hQ/hqdefault.jpg Choose and Install Steel Fence Posts — Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way! Examine the type of posts used for the fence. The corner posts are 4-inch Schedule 40 steel posts, while the brace posts are 2.5 or 3-inch steel posts (10 feet long), with a 6-foot stubby post driven into the ground. These are explicitly *not* traditional chain-link fence posts, but heavy-duty steel. The brace posts are essential for tensioning the high-tensile wire. The line posts (intermediate posts) are 2-inch Schedule 40 steel posts, 8 feet long, driven into the ground. The choice of steel posts is crucial for longevity, aiming for a 100-year fence rather than a 20-40 year wood fence, eliminating the need for frequent rebuilding. The posts conduct heat from the ground, which can help prevent issues with frost heave in colder climates. These posts are spaced approximately 25 feet apart, which is achievable due to the high tension of the woven wire. All posts were driven using a Pro-Tec fence post driver, ensuring stability and reducing manual effort. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoa8Cev64hQ 74 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/some-folks-have-to-learn-fencing-the-hard-way-v14606422/maintain-fence-line-with-ventrac-tractor-c3953557 2026-10-24T04:52:23.747Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yoa8Cev64hQ/hqdefault.jpg Maintain Fence Line with Ventrac Tractor — Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way! Drive a Ventrac 4500Y tractor, equipped with a 6-foot finish mower deck, along the fence line. The mowing process involves driving the tractor as close as possible to the fence, blowing the cut grass away from the fence on the first pass. On the return pass, blow the grass towards the fence. This technique piles up grass clippings against the fence, which naturally suppresses weed growth. This eliminates the need for chemical herbicides (spraying) to maintain the fence line, as cattle will also graze any remaining accessible vegetation. The wide berth (6 to 12 feet) cleared from the forest edge during construction is crucial here, as it allows the Ventrac to easily maneuver and prevents tree limbs from falling and damaging the fence. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoa8Cev64hQ 311 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/some-folks-have-to-learn-fencing-the-hard-way-v14606422/highlight-ventrac-tractor-features-c3953558 2026-10-24T04:52:23.747Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yoa8Cev64hQ/hqdefault.jpg Highlight Ventrac Tractor Features — Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way! The Ventrac 4500Y, nicknamed 'Honey Badger,' is highlighted for its versatility and durability. It features a 24.8 horsepower Kubota diesel engine and is all belt-driven, meaning that if an attachment hits an obstruction, the belt will slip or break instead of damaging the drive shaft or main components. This design simplifies repairs, as belts and blades are easily replaceable. The tractor's unique eight-tire configuration provides superior traction and stability, allowing it to mow steep embankments and rough terrain where other mowers would struggle. This makes it an ideal machine for maintaining diverse farm landscapes and fence lines. The presenter encourages viewers to seek further information on fencing and the Ventrac tractor from Farm Fence Solutions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoa8Cev64hQ 102 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/some-folks-have-to-learn-fencing-the-hard-way-v14606422/strategic-fence-building-advice-c3953559 2026-10-24T04:52:23.747Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yoa8Cev64hQ/hqdefault.jpg Strategic Fence Building Advice — Some folks have to learn fencing the hard way! The presenter reinforces the long-term benefits of investing in a high-quality, durable fence system, particularly highlighting the steel posts and high-tensile woven wire which are designed to last 100 years or more, effectively outlasting the farmer. The key takeaway is to spend a little extra money upfront to get the right fence built, saving significant time and effort in future maintenance and rebuilding. A crucial piece of advice for future fence builders is to avoid constructing fences directly within or too close to wooded areas. Instead, clear a 6 to 12-foot swath around the perimeter. This provides a clear maintenance path for equipment like the Ventrac and prevents tree limbs from constantly falling and damaging the fence, which would otherwise lead to endless maintenance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoa8Cev64hQ 151 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/its-not-supposed-to-do-that-v14606423 2026-10-24T04:52:46.258Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LxBYClxDXgY/hqdefault.jpg It's not supposed to do that?

He demonstrates how the mower can articulate upwards and offset to the left/right, allowing it to mow hard-to-reach areas like pond banks or field edges. He explains the internal mechanism, including the main roller and the numerous "hammers" (blades) that pulverize vegetation. The presenter highlights the adjustable skids (top and bottom) that control the cutting height. He also briefly compares the flail mower to a rotary cutter (Tartar Farm and Ranch RC206 and Woods BB72X mentioned) for different applications, noting the flail mower's ability to create a "golf course" like finish and better handle rough material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LxBYClxDXgY 134 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/its-not-supposed-to-do-that-v14606423/sharpen-flail-mower-hammers-c3953902 2026-10-24T04:52:46.258Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LxBYClxDXgY/hqdefault.jpg Sharpen Flail Mower Hammers — It's not supposed to do that? Before beginning, put on safety glasses and gloves. Using a DeWalt cordless angle grinder (or a corded one for sustained power), carefully sharpen each flail hammer. The presenter demonstrates grinding both faces of the hammer to create a sharp edge. He mentions that there are approximately 30 hammers on the rotor. The goal is to remove any dullness and reveal shiny metal on the cutting edges. It's noted that precise balancing of individual hammers is not critical due to the overlapping design, but ensuring each has a good edge is important. A new hammer is shown for comparison to illustrate the target sharpness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LxBYClxDXgY 319 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/its-not-supposed-to-do-that-v14606423/lubricate-and-perform-operational-checks-c3953904 2026-10-24T04:52:46.258Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LxBYClxDXgY/hqdefault.jpg Lubricate and Perform Operational Checks — It's not supposed to do that?

Begin by understanding the primary use of a skid steer, which is ideal for earth-moving tasks like building roads, grading, and moving heavy materials like rock, gravel, and dirt. This differentiates it from farm tractors that excel in material handling. Also, consider the terrain where the skid steer will operate. Wheeled skid steers can be almost useless in wet conditions like mud or wet grass without additional tracks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0QL0nYcSJdU 161 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/when-ignorance-costs-you-money-v14606424/prestart-internal-cab-inspection-c3952946 2026-10-24T04:51:38.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0QL0nYcSJdU/hqdefault.jpg Pre-Start Internal Cab Inspection — When Ignorance COSTS YOU MONEY! Before even starting the machine, sit in the cab and conduct a thorough visual inspection. Look for signs of hydraulic fluid leaks, which can indicate serious underlying issues. Assess the overall cleanliness and condition of the interior, including the seat, dashboard, and headliner. A clean, well-maintained cab often reflects diligent overall machine care. Check the hour meter to understand the machine's usage, but be aware that it might have been replaced on older models. Ask the seller not to start the machine prior to your arrival so you can observe its cold-start performance and any initial smoke from the exhaust. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0QL0nYcSJdU 41 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/when-ignorance-costs-you-money-v14606424/engine-startup-and-functional-tests-c3952947 2026-10-24T04:51:38.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0QL0nYcSJdU/hqdefault.jpg Engine Start-Up and Functional Tests — When Ignorance COSTS YOU MONEY! After the visual inspection, start the skid steer. Listen for the fuel pump before ignition, and ensure the engine starts quickly and smoothly without excessive cranking. Allow the machine to warm up for about 90 seconds. Once warm, operate the throttle. The engine should respond smoothly without sputtering, hesitation, or rattling noises (like valves). Have an assistant observe the exhaust for any large clouds of smoke, especially upon startup, as this can indicate engine wear (e.g., piston rings, valve guides). Check that all gauges (oil pressure, temperature), lights, and safety systems (seat belt, parking brake) are fully functional, as these are critical for safe operation and can be negotiating factors. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0QL0nYcSJdU 206 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/when-ignorance-costs-you-money-v14606424/bucket-play-and-hydraulic-leakdown-test-c3952948 2026-10-24T04:51:38.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0QL0nYcSJdU/hqdefault.jpg Bucket Play and Hydraulic Leak-Down Test — When Ignorance COSTS YOU MONEY! Perform a 'play test' on the bucket and its connection points. While seated in the cab, use the controls to raise the bucket a few feet off the ground, then rapidly move it up and down, and from side to side. Listen and feel for excessive looseness, clunking, or play in the pins and bushings connecting the bucket to the loader arms. Significant play indicates worn components that will require costly repairs. Check if the bucket has a self-leveling feature, as this is a desirable convenience. Additionally, conduct a hydraulic leak-down test: with the bucket on the ground, use the hydraulics to lift the entire front of the machine off the ground. Leave it elevated for at least 15 minutes and observe if it slowly settles. Any significant settling indicates hydraulic system leaks or worn seals within the cylinders. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0QL0nYcSJdU 136 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/when-ignorance-costs-you-money-v14606424/comprehensive-external-and-engine-compartment-inspection-c3952949 2026-10-24T04:51:38.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0QL0nYcSJdU/hqdefault.jpg Comprehensive External and Engine Compartment Inspection — When Ignorance COSTS YOU MONEY! Perform a detailed walk-around inspection of the entire machine. Examine the tires for significant wear, as replacements can be costly (e.g., $600-$800 for four). Check all hydraulic lines and quick-attach connectors for leaks or damage. Inspect the bucket itself for excessive wear, dents, or signs of heavy abuse, particularly the quick attach plates. The rear of the machine, including the engine door, is often an indicator of rough use; look for dents, scrapes, and general 'beat-up' appearance. Open the engine compartment to check the radiator for debris or damage, and look for oil or fluid leaks around the engine and hoses. Check the engine oil with the dipstick for frothing (indicating water contamination) and ensure it's clean and at the correct level. Also, make sure all moving parts are well-lubricated. If the seller hasn't even cleaned the machine, it's likely they neglected its maintenance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0QL0nYcSJdU no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/homesteading-food-friday-its-simple-delicious-and-requires-no-fridge-v14606425 2026-10-24T04:48:42.186Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kCwUh8_4vhU/hqdefault.jpg Homesteading Food Friday: It's simple, delicious and requires no fridge!

Carefully remove the pre-warmed Mason jars from the pressure canner, ensuring they are hot. Transfer them to your clean workspace, such as a stainless steel cart, aligning them. Place a canning funnel on the first jar. Add one flat teaspoon of salt to each clean quart jar. Then, carefully pour the hot, skimmed tomato juice into each jar using the funnel, leaving approximately 1/2 inch of headspace from the rim. After filling, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to thoroughly wipe the rim of each jar. This step is crucial for ensuring a proper, airtight seal. Finally, use the magnetic lid lifter to retrieve a heated lid from the small pot and place it onto the jar, followed by a ring. Screw the ring on until it is hand-tight, meaning snug but not overly tightened (not 'gorilla tight'). This allows air to escape during the canning process and prevents jars from cracking. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kCwUh8_4vhU 107 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/homesteading-food-friday-its-simple-delicious-and-requires-no-fridge-v14606425/pressure-process-jars-c3951885 2026-10-24T04:48:42.186Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kCwUh8_4vhU/hqdefault.jpg Pressure Process Jars — Homesteading Food Friday: It's simple, delicious and requires no fridge! Using jar tongs, carefully lift each filled and capped jar and place it into the pressure canner, which contains warm water. To ensure all air is released, slightly tilt each jar as it's lowered into the canner. If you don't have enough filled jars to fill the canner, add extra jars filled with just water to ensure even heating and pressure. Once all jars are inside, securely place the pressure canner lid and lock it down. Ensure the safety tab on the lid pops up, indicating the canner is locked. Turn the stove burner to medium-high heat. Place the 5-pound pressure weight (jiggler) onto the vent. Once the jiggler begins to consistently 'ch-ch-ch-ch' (not violently), set a timer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure canner to cool naturally without removing the jiggler or forcing depressurization. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kCwUh8_4vhU 95 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/homesteading-food-friday-its-simple-delicious-and-requires-no-fridge-v14606425/cool-jars-and-confirm-seal-c3951886 2026-10-24T04:48:42.186Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kCwUh8_4vhU/hqdefault.jpg Cool Jars and Confirm Seal — Homesteading Food Friday: It's simple, delicious and requires no fridge Once the pressure canner has completely cooled (this can take 20-45 minutes), the safety tab on the lid will drop down, and no steam will escape if you gently lift the jiggler with a dishtowel. At this point, carefully open the pressure canner lid, tilting it away from your face to allow any residual steam to escape safely. Using jar tongs, lift each hot jar from the canner, tilting it slightly to release any trapped air. Transfer the jars to a cooling rack or clean towel on the counter.

Josh plans to fence off the remaining unfenced areas in the future. He emphasizes the farm's location in the Blue Ridge Mountains, which provides green grass for cattle from March to November. The cattle are managed through intensive rotational grazing, being moved daily or bi-daily to stimulate grass growth and keep them away from creeks and waterways. The pastures include cool-season grasses like fescue, and various legumes such as white top ladino clover and lespedeza, which naturally fix nitrogen into the soil from the air. https://www.youtube.com/embed/u_nz8U5ALpQ 106 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/buy-hay-or-bale-it-on-your-farmwhat-makes-more-financial-sense-to-you-v14606430/soil-health-and-carbon-cycle-c3952935 2026-10-24T04:51:38.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u_nz8U5ALpQ/hqdefault.jpg Soil Health and Carbon Cycle — Buy Hay or Bale It on your farm....What makes more financial sense to Josh discusses the significance of legumes in fixing atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. He explains that his region has highly eroded soils, with most of the valuable topsoil having been lost over time due to historical agricultural practices, emphasizing the need for soil rebuilding. He stresses that removing forage from the land (like through hay production) without returning nutrients (like through chemical fertilizers, lime, or manure) is an unsustainable practice that depletes soil health. He argues that the goal is to build healthy soil, which is naturally supported by the cattle's digestive process through 'butt fertilizer' (manure). https://www.youtube.com/embed/u_nz8U5ALpQ 74 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/buy-hay-or-bale-it-on-your-farmwhat-makes-more-financial-sense-to-you-v14606430/detailed-cost-analysis-of-hay-production-c3952936 2026-10-24T04:51:38.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u_nz8U5ALpQ/hqdefault.jpg Detailed Cost Analysis of Hay Production — Buy Hay or Bale It on your farm....What makes more financ Josh presents a detailed cost analysis for cutting hay on his 85 acres. He calculates that fertilizing with Triple 17 at 300 pounds per acre would cost $6,885 annually ($534 per ton). Liming, which is required twice a year at 2 tons per acre, would cost $20,400 annually ($60 per ton). This totals over $27,000 for soil amendments alone, not including the tractor or equipment. Equipment costs for a small operation are estimated: a used baler at $10,000 (new $35k-$60k), a used hay cutter at $5,000, a used rake at $2,000, and a used tedder at $2,000. Annual repairs are estimated at $200, and fuel at $200. Labor is calculated at 70 hours per year (30 for cutting, 7 for raking, 14 for baling, 16 for loading/storing) at $15 per hour, totaling $1,050. These costs demonstrate a significant financial outlay compared to simply purchasing hay. https://www.youtube.com/embed/u_nz8U5ALpQ 337 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/buy-hay-or-bale-it-on-your-farmwhat-makes-more-financial-sense-to-you-v14606430/conclusion-and-justification-c3952937 2026-10-24T04:51:38.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u_nz8U5ALpQ/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Justification — Buy Hay or Bale It on your farm....What makes more financial sense to Josh concludes by reiterating that for his 30-32 cows, the annual out-of-pocket cost for buying hay is around $3,600 (based on $18 per 4x5 round bale, yielding 510 bales from 85 acres). This is significantly less than the estimated $35,000+ annual cost of producing hay himself. He highlights that buying hay allows him to bring essential carbon and nutrients onto his farm, directly contributing to soil building. By rolling out the hay on the land, the cows consume it and deposit manure, which increases the soil's pH and organic matter. This practice ultimately leads to better forage growth year after year and a reduced need for purchased hay over time. He encourages small farmers to meticulously analyze their own costs and benefits, emphasizing that it often makes more financial sense to purchase hay and focus on improving soil health through grazing rather than engaging in expensive hay production. https://www.youtube.com/embed/u_nz8U5ALpQ no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/big-husqvarna-stuck-duh-moment-on-the-trail-v14606431 2026-10-24T04:52:51.387Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zAsvIpWCvN4/hqdefault.jpg BIG HUSQVARNA STUCK!!

The new pasture will be grazed by 30 head of cattle on approximately 5 acres for 5-6 days, aiming to reduce forage height to 3-5 inches. This intense grazing encourages the cattle to eat undesirable plants like weeds, which are considered valuable forage in a multi-species pasture. He then highlights his unique gravity-fed watering system, which draws cool water from a pond. He previously had issues with air bubbles causing the siphon to break, but solved it by ensuring the highest point of the pipe acts as an air bleed, allowing air to escape and maintaining a continuous flow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iLIVEOQzHt0 145 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/cows-trained-this-should-be-interesting-v14606435/cattle-behavior-and-future-pasture-improvement-c3953281 2026-10-24T04:52:05.056Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iLIVEOQzHt0/hqdefault.jpg Cattle Behavior and Future Pasture Improvement — Cows Trained?

He mentions it has a 24.8 horsepower Kubota diesel engine and a fully hydrostatically controlled transmission, which differs from belt-driven or shaft-drive systems found in other utility vehicles like the John Deere Gator or Honda Pioneer. He emphasizes the advantages of a hydrostatic transmission for torque but immediately notes its significant drawback: speed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D2SgkcCAmMc 75 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/kubota-rtvbest-farm-side-by-side-you-might-not-like-this-v14606436/speed-limitations-and-hydrostatic-drawbacks-c3953320 2026-10-24T04:52:05.392Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D2SgkcCAmMc/hqdefault.jpg Speed Limitations and Hydrostatic Drawbacks — KUBOTA RTV...best farm side by side? You might not lik The primary complaint about the Kubota RTV X1140 is its slow speed. The reviewer states it is 'inherently super, super slow,' with a top speed of only 15-16 mph in high gear on flat ground, and maybe 28 mph downhill. He clarifies that this is not due to hydraulic flow or muffler restriction issues, but rather an inherent characteristic of the hydrostatic transmission. He contrasts this with the faster Kubota Sidekick and other utility vehicles that are not hydrostatically driven. He acknowledges that while slow, the vehicle is very 'torky' and can pull heavy loads, but lacks the wheel speed for navigating muddy or sandy conditions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D2SgkcCAmMc 153 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/kubota-rtvbest-farm-side-by-side-you-might-not-like-this-v14606436/operator-controls-and-modifications-c3953321 2026-10-24T04:52:05.392Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D2SgkcCAmMc/hqdefault.jpg Operator Controls and Modifications — KUBOTA RTV...best farm side by side?

By pulling several pins, the bed can be extended to an extra-large size, which is bigger than a John Deere Gator or Polaris Ranger bed. The bed is all-steel construction, and the reviewer opted for a bed liner, although he notes it's chipping in a few places despite his careful use. He uses a rug in the bed to prevent items from sliding around. This modularity also allows for a four-seat configuration, which was a primary reason for purchasing the vehicle. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D2SgkcCAmMc 124 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/kubota-rtvbest-farm-side-by-side-you-might-not-like-this-v14606436/bed-system-design-flaws-and-solutions-c3953323 2026-10-24T04:52:05.392Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D2SgkcCAmMc/hqdefault.jpg Bed System Design Flaws and Solutions — KUBOTA RTV...best farm side by side? You might not like this The reviewer identifies several design flaws with the bed system. The tailgate requires two hands to open, which is inconvenient when carrying items. More significantly, the hydraulically controlled bed can slowly tilt backward, automatically dumping its contents even when not in operation. This has resulted in loss of chicken feed and grass seed. He believes a valve should prevent this unintentional dumping. Additionally, the side panels, which fold to expand the bed, use a latch system that requires significant force and precise alignment, making it difficult for some users. Debris can also get caught in the seams of the folding panels, causing damage or preventing proper closure. Another minor issue is that dust and trash fall from the folding bed panels onto the rear floorboard or seat when the bed is manipulated. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D2SgkcCAmMc 257 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/kubota-rtvbest-farm-side-by-side-you-might-not-like-this-v14606436/operator-station-and-ergonomics-c3953324 2026-10-24T04:52:05.392Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D2SgkcCAmMc/hqdefault.jpg Operator Station and Ergonomics — KUBOTA RTV...best farm side by side?

There are generally two types: a 'cull cow' (an older animal, e.g., a 7-year-old cow no longer suitable for breeding or with health issues like foot problems) which is typically processed into hamburger due to tougher meat, or a younger steer/heifer (12-18 months old) specifically raised for meat, which yields more tender cuts like steaks. A cull cow might have a live weight of 1200-1600 lbs and dress out to approximately 827 lbs hanging weight. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H9Wv5Hw0mao 106 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-you-need-to-know-about-taking-a-cow-to-the-butcher-cost-cuts-and-v14606444/navigating-butcher-regulations-and-scheduling-c3954068 2026-10-24T04:52:58.199Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H9Wv5Hw0mao/hqdefault.jpg Navigating Butcher Regulations and Scheduling — What you Need to Know about Taking a Cow to the Butc Contact local butcher shops (also referred to as abattoirs or slaughterhouses) to establish a relationship and inquire about their scheduling. Be prepared for potentially long waiting lists, which can range from 12 to 24 months. You'll need to book your animal's processing slot well in advance. Additionally, be aware of specific regulations: for cattle 30 months or older, the backbone and spinal cord must be removed due to 'Mad Cow Disease' concerns, which means T-bone steaks cannot be cut from these animals. If an animal has been medicated, ensure the full withdrawal period has passed, as indicated on the medication label, before sending it for processing.

The butcher shop will typically charge a 'kill fee' (approximately $70) for dispatching the animal. Additionally, there's a processing fee calculated per pound of 'hanging weight' (the weight of the carcass after initial slaughter but before further butchering, typically $0.92-$0.95/lb).

For an older cow, anticipate most of the meat (around 90%) being ground into hamburger, with some cuts like brisket or specific steaks if the meat quality allows. For younger animals, a broader range of tender cuts (e.g., rib-eyes, T-bones) is possible, depending on age restrictions. Be prepared for various 'upcharges' beyond the base processing fee: these may include fees for tenderizing steaks that aren't naturally tender, creating seasoned sausage (e.g., $1.09/lb), or having ground meat formed into patties. Also, decide if you wish to keep organ meats (liver, tongue, stomach) or bones (for making beef stock or dog bones), as these often incur additional handling fees. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H9Wv5Hw0mao 95 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/what-you-need-to-know-about-taking-a-cow-to-the-butcher-cost-cuts-and-v14606444/ensuring-proper-packaging-for-storage-c3954077 2026-10-24T04:52:58.199Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H9Wv5Hw0mao/hqdefault.jpg Ensuring Proper Packaging for Storage — What you Need to Know about Taking a Cow to the Butcher, Cos Ensure the butcher shop uses vacuum-sealed packaging for your meat.

The host explains that the pork butt can be cooked on a smoker grill or in a conventional oven. To prepare the spritzer mix, combine approximately 1/3 Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar with 2/3 100% Apple Juice in a spray bottle. Shake the apple cider vinegar first to activate the 'mother' for flavor. The apple cider vinegar's acidity helps to penetrate the meat, drawing in juices and flavor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRRI0eNi7qs 227 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/traeger-pork-butt-recipe-v14606447/trim-fat-and-apply-seasoning-to-pork-butt-c3953076 2026-10-24T04:50:23.462Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XRRI0eNi7qs/hqdefault.jpg Trim Fat and Apply Seasoning to Pork Butt — Traeger Pork Butt Recipe Place the pork butt on a sturdy cutting board. Identify the fat cap side and the non-fat side. Using a sharp butcher knife, carefully trim off a portion of the thick fat cap to expose some muscle fibers, which will allow for better smoke penetration and bark formation. Next, apply a generous amount of yellow mustard to all surfaces of the pork butt; this acts as a binder, helping the rub adhere to the meat. Finally, liberally apply the Meat Church Holy Gospel BBQ rub to all sides of the mustard-coated pork butt, ensuring an even and thick layer. Pat the rub gently into the meat. Allow the seasoned pork butt to sit for 15-30 minutes at room temperature, which allows the salt in the rub to draw out some moisture and further adhere the rub. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRRI0eNi7qs 182 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/traeger-pork-butt-recipe-v14606447/set-up-traeger-smoker-for-cooking-c3953094 2026-10-24T04:50:23.462Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XRRI0eNi7qs/hqdefault.jpg Set Up Traeger Smoker for Cooking — Traeger Pork Butt Recipe Go to the Traeger pellet smoker (the video shows two, 'Little T' is used).

The host noted an increase in smoker temperature from 225°F to 260°F during this phase to speed up cooking. Carefully remove the pork butt from the smoker and place it into a clean aluminum foil pan. Drizzle any remaining honey into the pan. Add a light dusting of Kinder's Master Salt seasoning (or a similar garlic, sea salt, butter-flavored rub) over the meat in the pan to enhance the flavor. Cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil to create a sealed environment, which helps to braise the meat and prevent it from drying out, holding in moisture. Reinsert the temperature probe through the foil into the thickest part of the meat. Return the wrapped pork butt to the smoker and continue cooking until it reaches desired tenderness (usually around 200-205°F internal temperature, or when the probe slides in 'like butter' with minimal resistance). This final stage may take another 3-6 hours. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRRI0eNi7qs 267 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/traeger-pork-butt-recipe-v14606447/rest-shred-and-serve-pork-butt-c3953101 2026-10-24T04:50:23.462Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XRRI0eNi7qs/hqdefault.jpg Rest, Shred, and Serve Pork Butt — Traeger Pork Butt Recipe Once the internal temperature of the pork butt reaches approximately 180-181°F and it is very tender (the probe slides in easily, and the bone can be pulled out without resistance), remove it from the smoker. Keep it tightly wrapped in the aluminum foil pan and allow it to rest for a period (e.g., in a cooler or an empty oven) to redistribute juices, ensuring maximum moisture and flavor. After resting, carefully unwrap the pork butt. Using a fork, gently pull the bone out of the meat; it should slide out effortlessly if fully cooked. Begin shredding the pork butt using two forks or bear claws. Observe the pink smoke ring just under the bark, indicating successful smoking. Taste a piece to confirm the flavor and tenderness. Separate the au jus (meat drippings) from the shredded pork, removing any excess fat. The au jus can be saved and added back to the meat or used as a flavorful sauce. Serve the pulled pork as desired, with or without barbecue sauce. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRRI0eNi7qs 207 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/off-grid-solar-welllearn-from-what-i-didnt-know-about-free-energy-v14606448 2026-10-24T04:51:49.493Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zGgiTvsU3gk/hqdefault.jpg OFF GRID SOLAR WELL.....Learn from what I didn't know about FREE ENERGY!

He explains that this system is entirely passive and operates solely on solar power, delivering water to cattle on his 60-acre farm. This type of self-sufficient water supply can be crucial for extensive garden areas or remote landscape features where running traditional electricity is impractical or expensive. The goal is to set up multiple Mirafount waterers (frost-free water troughs) across the property, enabling rotational grazing and efficient water distribution, a concept adaptable to zones within a large garden or landscape design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGgiTvsU3gk 123 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/off-grid-solar-welllearn-from-what-i-didnt-know-about-free-energy-v14606448/solar-panel-array-setup-and-features-c3953071 2026-10-24T04:51:49.493Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zGgiTvsU3gk/hqdefault.jpg Solar Panel Array Setup and Features — OFF GRID SOLAR WELL.....Learn from what I didn't know about F The system features four 200-watt solar panels (with plans to add four more) that operate on direct current (DC) voltage, eliminating the need for an AC inverter. This pure DC operation contributes to energy efficiency. A small solar sensor, similar to a photocell, is mounted below the main panels. This sensor measures incoming sunlight and communicates with the control system to ensure the pump receives optimal voltage, preventing both under-voltage (which can damage the pump) and over-voltage. For large garden irrigation, understanding solar input and voltage regulation is key to ensuring consistent water flow for plants. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGgiTvsU3gk 141 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/off-grid-solar-welllearn-from-what-i-didnt-know-about-free-energy-v14606448/control-panel-and-system-protection-c3953080 2026-10-24T04:51:49.493Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zGgiTvsU3gk/hqdefault.jpg Control Panel and System Protection — OFF GRID SOLAR WELL.....Learn from what I didn't know about FR The system includes a central control panel, located behind the solar panels, which manages all aspects of the well's operation. This panel is equipped with multiple surge protectors for each tiny circuit board, making repairs more cost-effective as individual $40 boards can be replaced instead of a single expensive unit. This design contrasts with cheaper systems where control boards are integrated directly into the submersible pump, making repairs difficult and costly. The control panel can also be monitored and adjusted remotely via an Android app, allowing users to track pump speed, voltage, water output (gallons per minute), and even financial savings.

The submersible pump is installed deep within the well (approximately 250 feet down a 460-foot well), delivering about 9.1 gallons per minute at 30 PSI. A pressure sensor monitors the system's pressure, while a separate depth sensor inside the well prevents the pump from running dry by shutting it off if water levels drop too low. This feature is vital for protecting the pump, ensuring a long lifespan, and maintaining a reliable water source for any large-scale irrigation or water feature in your landscape. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGgiTvsU3gk 96 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/off-grid-solar-welllearn-from-what-i-didnt-know-about-free-energy-v14606448/pressure-tank-installation-and-water-hammer-prevention-c3953103 2026-10-24T04:51:49.493Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zGgiTvsU3gk/hqdefault.jpg Pressure Tank Installation and Water Hammer Prevention — OFF GRID SOLAR WELL.....Learn from what I d A 20-gallon pressure tank is installed at the wellhead, connected by a union for easy detachment. This tank contains an air bladder, with the lower portion filled with water and the upper part with compressed air. Its primary function is to prevent 'water hammer'—a damaging surge of pressure that occurs when water flow is suddenly stopped. By absorbing these pressure spikes, the pressure tank protects the entire plumbing system and significantly extends the life of the well pump. The system is set for low pressure (26-28 PSI) and high volume, ideal for landscape irrigation systems like drip lines or sprinklers over large garden areas, rather than high-pressure domestic use. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGgiTvsU3gk 105 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/off-grid-solar-welllearn-from-what-i-didnt-know-about-free-energy-v14606448/future-landscape-water-distribution-planning-c3953114 2026-10-24T04:51:49.493Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zGgiTvsU3gk/hqdefault.jpg Future Landscape Water Distribution Planning — OFF GRID SOLAR WELL.....Learn from what I didn't know The presenter outlines future plans for extensive water distribution across the farm. This includes trenching poly lines throughout the property to install multiple frost-free waterers (Mirafount waterers) in different 'pizza-slice' paddocks. This setup is crucial for intensive rotational grazing, but the same strategy can be applied to diverse landscape zones. Imagine running irrigation lines to various sections of a large garden, different raised beds, or dedicated planting areas. Strategic placement on the highest point of the property allows for gravity-fed water distribution to lower areas, maximizing efficiency and minimizing reliance on pump power for certain zones, ideal for sustainable lawn and garden practices. The importance of leaving shade trees for animals (and implicitly for outdoor garden spaces) is also highlighted. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGgiTvsU3gk 141 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/choosing-the-right-tractor-for-your-small-farm-or-property-v14606450 2026-10-23T00:24:13.230Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hXVmie2AMr0/hqdefault.jpg Choosing the right Tractor for your Small farm or Property This guide focuses on preparing and utilizing a sub-compact garden tractor, specifically the TYM T254 with its front-end loader, for tasks involving material transport like loading hay bales onto a utility trailer.

What Nobody Told me about Regenerative Farming Small Acreage This video demonstrates the use of a chain harrow, an agricultural implement, for managing pastureland. Its primary function as shown is to spread animal manure evenly across the field and lightly aerate the soil, which helps in nutrient distribution and grass regrowth. While the video does not depict the clearing of construction debris, the mechanical action of a chain harrow involves dragging and spreading loose surface material. This analysis will interpret the chain harrow as a type of 'power sweeper' for general surface clearing and leveling of light, loose materials, akin to how it might be conceptually applied to similar tasks in an outdoor post-construction or renovation cleanup, despite its primary agricultural use shown here. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZsvBCGCeiY 926 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-wasnt-prepared-what-nobody-told-me-about-regenerative-farming-small-v14606458/understand-the-purpose-of-the-chain-harrow-c3953044 2026-10-24T04:51:49.528Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MZsvBCGCeiY/hqdefault.jpg Understand the Purpose of the Chain Harrow — I wasn't prepared!

The primary purpose here is to break down and distribute animal droppings across the field, which helps return nutrients to the soil and promotes healthier grass growth. This action also provides light soil aeration and helps to level minor surface irregularities. While not designed for 'larger construction debris,' the principle of moving and leveling surface material can be considered a form of 'power sweeping' for appropriate types of lighter, scattered debris or loose soil after construction work, provided the debris is not heavy or obstructive enough to damage the harrow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZsvBCGCeiY 17 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-wasnt-prepared-what-nobody-told-me-about-regenerative-farming-small-v14606458/attach-the-chain-harrow-to-the-towing-vehicle-c3953045 2026-10-24T04:51:49.528Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MZsvBCGCeiY/hqdefault.jpg Attach the Chain Harrow to the Towing Vehicle — I wasn't prepared! What Nobody Told me about Regener As seen in the video (3:05-3:10), the chain harrow is attached to an ATV. The harrow typically connects to the vehicle's hitch point. Ensure the hitch pin is securely fastened and any safety chains or locking mechanisms are engaged. Check that the harrow is properly aligned and freely articulated to follow the contours of the ground. This step is crucial for safe operation and preventing detachment during use. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZsvBCGCeiY 4 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-wasnt-prepared-what-nobody-told-me-about-regenerative-farming-small-v14606458/operate-the-power-sweeper-for-surface-management-c3953046 2026-10-24T04:51:49.528Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MZsvBCGCeiY/hqdefault.jpg Operate the Power Sweeper for Surface Management — I wasn't prepared! What Nobody Told me about Rege Begin by driving the ATV or tractor at a steady, appropriate speed across the pasture (8:28-8:31). The chain harrow's tines will engage with the surface, breaking up and scattering animal droppings, and lightly working the top layer of soil. For optimal performance in a 'clearing' or 'leveling' context, choose a speed that allows the harrow to effectively move and distribute the material without simply skipping over it or excessively digging in. Overlap passes slightly to ensure complete coverage. Pay attention to the terrain and any obstacles, maneuvering carefully to avoid damage to the equipment or the ground. For agricultural use, varying the pattern of passes helps prevent the formation of ruts or uneven wear. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZsvBCGCeiY 3 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-wasnt-prepared-what-nobody-told-me-about-regenerative-farming-small-v14606458/inspect-results-and-adjust-as-needed-c3953047 2026-10-24T04:51:49.528Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MZsvBCGCeiY/hqdefault.jpg Inspect Results and Adjust as Needed — I wasn't prepared! What Nobody Told me about Regenerative Far Periodically stop and walk over the area where the chain harrow has been pulled (12:33-12:51). Observe how effectively the manure has been spread or how well the surface has been leveled. If there are still concentrated clumps of material, or if the surface remains uneven, consider making additional passes from a different direction or adjusting the towing speed. The goal is to achieve an evenly distributed layer of material and a relatively smooth surface. For farm management, this ensures nutrients are spread widely and promotes uniform grass growth. In a hypothetical construction cleanup scenario, this step would involve ensuring small debris is adequately dispersed or pushed into desired areas for collection, or that the ground is sufficiently leveled for subsequent work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZsvBCGCeiY 110 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/small-farm-planning-setting-up-simple-working-pen-for-the-cattle-chute-v14606459 2026-10-24T04:53:13.290Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_7WPc18Y3R0/hqdefault.jpg Small Farm Planning: Setting up simple working pen for the cattle chute This video demonstrates the assembly and functionality of a Tarter Farm and Ranch cattle handling system, including a sweep system, an adjustable alleyway, and a squeeze chute.

The video demonstrates the most aggressive setting, where the tines are angled forward, digging more deeply into the surface. This setting is ideal for breaking up tough manure patties or preparing soil for overseeding. The creator mentions that the harrow can be flipped for a less aggressive cut or even turned around (though not demonstrated) to adjust its impact on the ground. https://www.youtube.com/embed/h8VxI3SQrzc 57 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/every-landowner-should-have-one-of-these-a-game-changer-v14606461/harrowing-pasture-for-soil-improvement-c3797971 2026-10-23T00:22:34.722Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/h8VxI3SQrzc/hqdefault.jpg Harrowing Pasture for Soil Improvement — Every landowner should have one of these! A game changer! Using the tractor and drag harrow with the tines in the aggressive forward-facing position, drive across pastures where cattle have recently grazed. The harrow effectively breaks up and spreads cow manure patties, distributing valuable nutrients evenly across the field. This process, crucial for intensive grazing systems, prevents cows from avoiding areas with concentrated manure, promoting uniform grazing and faster pasture recovery. Additionally, it helps oxygenate the soil and dethatch areas where hay bales may have been rolled out, boosting overall soil health and grass production. The video advises against harrowing in excessively wet conditions to avoid tearing up the pasture. https://www.youtube.com/embed/h8VxI3SQrzc 53 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/every-landowner-should-have-one-of-these-a-game-changer-v14606461/grooming-a-gravel-driveway-c3797973 2026-10-23T00:22:34.722Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/h8VxI3SQrzc/hqdefault.jpg Grooming a Gravel Driveway — Every landowner should have one of these!

Solar Powered! The drilling process begins by attaching a large, approximately 10-inch diameter, paddle-style drill bit to the rig. This bit is used for drilling through the initial layers of topsoil and loose material. As the drilling commences, both water and compressed air are simultaneously introduced into the wellbore. The water aids in moistening the soil and lubricating the drill bit, while the compressed air blasts the resulting soil cuttings and water mixture out of the hole. Once the drill reaches the solid bedrock, which is around 20 feet deep in this location, a section of wide PVC casing is lowered into the hole. This casing prevents the upper, looser soil layers from collapsing into the wellbore and isolates the bedrock drilling from the surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3eKe3fV_glQ 190 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-drill-a-well-the-legal-way-solar-powered-v14606494/deep-drill-into-bedrock-with-hammer-drill-c3951971 2026-10-24T04:48:50.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3eKe3fV_glQ/hqdefault.jpg Deep Drill into Bedrock with Hammer Drill — How to DRILL A WELL the LEGAL WAY! Solar Powered! After the initial casing is in place, the paddle drill bit is removed and replaced with a smaller, more robust diamond-tipped cutter head. This specialized bit is designed to effectively pulverize hard rock formations like shale and granite. The drilling machine operates with a powerful 'hammering' effect, driven by both compressed air and water pressure, to break through the dense rock. To extend the depth of the well, multiple 20-foot sections of drill pipe are connected together using a carousel system on the rig. Copper lubricant is applied to the threads of each pipe section before connection to prevent seizing under extreme pressure and heat. This deep drilling continues until a sufficient water-bearing aquifer is successfully intercepted, which in this case was around 425 feet deep, and then extended to a final depth of 460 feet for increased reserve. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3eKe3fV_glQ 112 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-drill-a-well-the-legal-way-solar-powered-v14606494/install-final-casing-and-flush-well-c3951972 2026-10-24T04:48:50.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3eKe3fV_glQ/hqdefault.jpg Install Final Casing and Flush Well — How to DRILL A WELL the LEGAL WAY! Solar Powered! Upon reaching the final desired depth of 460 feet and hitting a strong water source, the diamond-tipped drill bit and all drill rods are retracted from the wellbore. Long sections of 6-inch PVC well casing are then carefully lowered into the entire depth of the drilled hole. Each section of PVC casing is securely joined to the next using PVC cement, creating a continuous, watertight pipe that extends from the ground surface down to 5 feet into the water-bearing bedrock. Once all casing is installed and settled, any excess casing extending above the ground is cut flush using a chainsaw. Finally, the newly cased well is thoroughly flushed with compressed air and water to clear out any remaining sediment, rock fragments, and drilling mud, ensuring that the water flowing from the well is clean and clear. The completed well yields approximately 10-12 gallons of water per minute. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3eKe3fV_glQ 345 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-drill-a-well-the-legal-way-solar-powered-v14606494/demobilize-equipment-and-plan-for-solar-pump-c3951973 2026-10-24T04:48:50.060Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3eKe3fV_glQ/hqdefault.jpg Demobilize Equipment and Plan for Solar Pump — How to DRILL A WELL the LEGAL WAY!

This video provides a detailed guide on how to perform pasture over-seeding using a Woods Precision Super Seeder and how to set up temporary electric fences for rotational grazing with cattle. It addresses common challenges such as moving large farm equipment and preparing the seed drill, while also demonstrating effective methods for establishing new grass and clover in pastures. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 1501 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/introduction-to-pasture-management-seeding-c3954099 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Introduction to Pasture Management & Seeding — I didn't expect this problem! The video opens with the presenter, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, standing next to a large red TYM T1104 tractor. He announces the day's agenda: over-seeding pastures with a Woods Precision Super Seeder and moving cows for rotational grazing. He explains that the cows need to be moved across the yard to a new pasture behind the house, which has ample forage. The presenter shows the setup for the rotational grazing system, including polybraid wire and a Speedrite reel. A key challenge is identified: the large tractor is too tall to enter the carport where the seed drill is stored, requiring a creative solution to connect the implements. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 82 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/preparing-the-electric-fence-reel-c3954100 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Preparing the Electric Fence Reel — I didn't expect this problem! To prepare for setting up temporary electric fences, the presenter shows how to wind the InteliBraid polybraid wire onto a Speedrite reel. He inserts a piece of 1x oak wood through the center of the polybraid spool and places it on a makeshift stand on his ATV. He then feeds the end of the polybraid through the Speedrite reel, ties it off with a granny knot (or square knot), and begins winding. He explains that the Speedrite reel is geared, making winding fast. A crucial tip is provided: do not wind the polybraid all the way to the edges of the reel; leave about half an inch of space on each side to prevent the wire from coming off or becoming tangled later. He also highlights the reel's design, which allows it to be hung onto either a hot wire (energizing the entire reel) or an insulated handle (keeping the reel cold). https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 235 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/connecting-polybraid-to-electric-fence-handle-c3954110 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Connecting Polybraid to Electric Fence Handle — I didn't expect this problem! To ensure proper electrical conductivity and safe handling, the presenter connects the polybraid wire to the Speedrite fence handle. He advises pulling the polybraid through the loop on the handle and wrapping it around the metal hook three times. This maximizes contact with the conductive elements in the polybraid, as the internal nylon strings do not conduct electricity. He also notes that fraying ends of the polybraid should be snipped off for a cleaner connection. The connection is secured with a simple slip knot, similar to tying a fishing lure, by wrapping the wire around itself two to three times before pulling tight. The handle features an insulated plastic grip and a metal hook; the metal hook gets electrified, while the plastic handle remains safe to touch. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 149 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/energizing-the-electric-fence-system-c3954111 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Energizing the Electric Fence System — I didn't expect this problem! To energize the electric fence, the presenter uses a Solar Intellishock 60 charger. He shows how to connect the charger to the fence system. One clip from the charger (typically black) is attached to a ground source, such as a metal fence post. The other clip (typically red) is then attached to the polybraid wire, which acts as the 'hot wire'. This setup is designed to be easy to hook up and take down, making it suitable for rotational grazing. He also mentions that if the ground is dry, it can be difficult to insert step-in posts, advising to plan ahead and set posts after a rain. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 47 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/setting-up-temporary-cross-fencing-for-rotational-grazing-c3954113 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Setting Up Temporary Cross Fencing for Rotational Grazing — I didn't expect this problem! The presenter explains the setup for moving the cattle. The polybraid line is run down the yard using step-in posts. One side of the fence, leading towards the pasture, will be energized, while the side bordering the woods will not. This strategy relies on the cows' learned respect for the electric fence, guiding them towards the desired grazing area. The Speedrite reel is attached to a fixed metal post on the cold (non-energized) side, and the presenter will walk the line, unwinding the polybraid wire. This temporary fence directs the cattle's movement without requiring them to be physically herded through the woods. He demonstrates walking the line and unwinding the polybraid. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 80 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/moving-cattle-for-rotational-grazing-c3954114 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Moving Cattle for Rotational Grazing — I didn't expect this problem! The presenter then opens the gate and calls the cattle to move them into the newly fenced area. The cattle, including two calves and the donkeys, respond to his calls and move through the temporary fence line. They show respect for the established electric fence, keeping a safe distance, confirming the effectiveness of the rotational grazing training. There are two calves that get momentarily stuck in the previous pen, but eventually join the rest of the herd. This process highlights the ease and efficiency of moving livestock using temporary electric fencing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 169 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/extracting-the-seed-drill-from-the-carport-c3954115 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Extracting the Seed Drill from the Carport — I didn't expect this problem! The presenter details the 'hillbilly debacle' to retrieve the Woods Precision Super Seeder from the carport, as the large TYM T1104 tractor cannot fit underneath. He uses a chain setup, attaching one end to the seed drill's three-point hitch (specifically around the lower lift arms and top link point) and the other end to the tractor's drawbar. By slowly backing the tractor, he successfully pulls the heavy seed drill out of the carport, demonstrating a practical solution to a common farm equipment challenge. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 165 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/connecting-the-seed-drill-to-the-tractors-3point-hitch-c3954117 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Connecting the Seed Drill to the Tractor's 3-Point Hitch — I didn't expect this problem! After successfully extracting the seed drill, the presenter demonstrates the ease of connecting it to the TYM T1104 tractor's 3-point hitch thanks to its electronic control system. This system allows him to precisely adjust the lower lift arms and top link from the rear fender of the tractor using push-buttons, eliminating the need to be in the cab. He slides the Category 3 pins (or Cat 2 with shims) into the lower lift arms and then adjusts the hydraulic top link to secure the implement. The top link also has a floating feature, allowing it to move freely and adapt to ground contours during operation, which is crucial for effective no-till seeding. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 115 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/adjusting-the-seed-drill-for-optimal-ground-preparation-c3954118 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Adjusting the Seed Drill for Optimal Ground Preparation — I didn't expect this problem! The Woods Precision Super Seeder features spiked rippers or rollers at the front, followed by a seed box, and a cultipacker at the rear. The presenter explains that a bar allows adjustment of the angle and depth of the front rippers. By pulling a pin and moving the bar, he can set the rippers to aggressively tear up the ground or provide minimal disturbance. This adjustment is crucial for adapting to different soil types and conditions, ensuring proper seed-to-soil contact without excessive tilling. For the current conditions, he adjusts it to rip the ground 'just a little bit extra'. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 80 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/loading-the-seed-hoppers-and-addressing-old-seed-c3954119 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Loading the Seed Hoppers and Addressing Old Seed — I didn't expect this problem! The presenter proceeds to load the seed hoppers of the Woods Precision Super Seeder. He first removes an old DeWalt shop vac from the hopper, which was used to clean out a previous batch of clover seed. He reveals a critical mistake: leaving some clover seed in the hopper over winter, which absorbed moisture and solidified, hindering seed flow. He advises against leaving seed in the drill to avoid such issues. He then uses a stiff-bristled brush to break up the caked-on clover seed. The seed drill has three seed bays: one for summertime native grasses, one for cool-season grasses (which he will use for fescue), and one for clover and small seeds like millet. He loads 50lb bags of an 80/20 mix (80% tall fescue, 20% German foxtail millet) into the appropriate hopper. He explains the reason for using clover and millet (small seeds): to establish a cover quickly, allowing fescue to establish itself beneath and promoting nitrogen fixation in the soil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 234 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/overseeding-the-pasture-with-the-seed-drill-c3954122 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Over-seeding the Pasture with the Seed Drill — I didn't expect this problem! The presenter drives the TYM T1104 tractor with the Woods Precision Super Seeder attached, across a recently cleared pasture. He shows how the machine's front spiked rollers lightly disturb the soil, the seeds are dropped from the hoppers, and the rear cultipacker rolls over to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. The process is smooth, with the tractor effectively planting the fescue, millet, and clover mixture. The drone footage provides an aerial view of the no-till drill in action, highlighting its efficiency in over-seeding the pasture without extensive prior ground preparation. This field was cleared last year, marking a significant step in developing the farm's grazing areas. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 165 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/i-didnt-expect-this-problem-v14606496/overview-of-cornish-cross-meat-birds-c3954123 2026-10-24T04:52:58.603Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uk_Jypk8pkg/hqdefault.jpg Overview of Cornish Cross Meat Birds — I didn't expect this problem! As a final segment, the presenter provides an overview of his Cornish Cross meat birds from Murray McMurray Hatchery. These chickens are raised in a mobile chicken coop made from PVC pipe and drain pipe, measuring about 10 feet wide by 12 feet long. The coop houses approximately 35 birds and is moved daily to a fresh plot of grass. The birds are typically butchered at 6 to 8 weeks of age and are described as delicious. This demonstrates another aspect of the farm's self-sufficiency and ground maintenance practices, as the chickens help fertilize the pasture. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uk_Jypk8pkg 37 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/live-drilling-a-well-v14606497 2026-10-24T04:52:23.821Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BBsW5NHaYHw/hqdefault.jpg Live drilling a WELL!

He highlights that honey bees tend to swarm in the springtime, especially during the first few hot days and peak nectar flow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cMViBUW0xD4 174 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-catch-100000-honeybees-for-free-v14606502/preparing-the-nuc-box-c3953948 2026-10-24T04:52:51.570Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cMViBUW0xD4/hqdefault.jpg Preparing the Nuc Box — How to catch 10,0000 Honeybees for free! The beekeeper positions a nucleus hive (nuc box) on the ground near the bee swarm. He demonstrates an initial attempt with an old, damaged hive box that was destroyed by hive beetles and moths, deeming it unsuitable. He then retrieves a new, custom-made nuc box, humorously labeled 'JAIL', which is empty except for frames, preparing it to receive the swarm. He explains that swarming bees are docile because they are actively searching for a new home. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cMViBUW0xD4 99 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-catch-100000-honeybees-for-free-v14606502/transferring-the-swarm-c3953949 2026-10-24T04:52:51.570Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cMViBUW0xD4/hqdefault.jpg Transferring the Swarm — How to catch 10,0000 Honeybees for free! To encourage the bees to stay in the nuc box, the beekeeper takes a wad of grass and stuffs it into the main entrance of the box. He then carefully brings the tree branch with the bee swarm directly over the open nuc box. With a firm, quick shake, he dislodges the majority of the bees from the branch, causing them to fall into the box. The goal is for the queen to fall into the box, as the rest of the bees will follow her pheromones. He observes the bees and notes that they are slowly entering the box. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cMViBUW0xD4 244 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-catch-100000-honeybees-for-free-v14606502/consolidate-bees-and-secure-hive-c3953950 2026-10-24T04:52:51.570Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cMViBUW0xD4/hqdefault.jpg Consolidate Bees and Secure Hive — How to catch 10,0000 Honeybees for free! After the initial shake, some bees remain outside the box. The beekeeper uses a bee brush to gently sweep these remaining bees from the branch and the surrounding area towards the entrance of the nuc box. He also brushes off a bee that had crawled onto his pant leg, explaining that removing stung areas (and the associated alarm pheromone) is crucial to avoid attracting more aggressive bees. He continues to gently brush the bees into the box and then carefully places the lid on the nuc box and secures the entrance with a small piece of wood, leaving just enough space for the bees to enter. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cMViBUW0xD4 348 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-catch-100000-honeybees-for-free-v14606502/project-conclusion-and-beeyard-overview-c3953951 2026-10-24T04:52:51.570Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cMViBUW0xD4/hqdefault.jpg Project Conclusion and Beeyard Overview — How to catch 10,0000 Honeybees for free!

This project guides the assembly of a Tarter Farm and Ranch Cattle Master Series 6 squeeze chute system, including a sweep system and alleyway. The process begins with preparing a level, gravel-covered area. Key steps involve unbolting the headgate from its shipping timbers, connecting the various panels of the squeeze chute, alleyway, and circular sweep system using connector rods and pins, and ensuring all components are properly aligned for efficient, low-stress cattle handling. The video also demonstrates the system's functionality, including how cattle are guided and secured for various procedures. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 1157 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/prepare-the-installation-site-with-level-gravel-c3953067 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Prepare the Installation Site with Level Gravel — We never thought we'd get it done! The project begins by ensuring the installation area is level and covered with gravel. The video shows a dump truck delivering gravel and a Ventrac 4500 with a Power Rake attachment spreading and leveling the gravel to create a stable, non-muddy surface for cattle, which is crucial for safety and ease of handling. The presenter explains that a level surface is critical for the proper function and stability of the cattle handling equipment, especially in hilly terrain. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 15 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/position-and-unbolt-the-headgate-c3953070 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Position and Unbolt the Headgate — We never thought we'd get it done! Using a TYM T1104 tractor equipped with pallet forks, the red Cattle Master Series 6 automatic headgate is carefully lifted. This allows access to the 4x4 timbers it was shipped on. An impact driver with a 9/16 inch socket is used to remove the four lag bolts securing the headgate to the timbers. Once unbolted, the timbers are removed, and the headgate is lowered directly onto the prepared gravel surface, ensuring it sits flat. The headgate is then nudged with the tractor to precisely align it, making sure it's square with the existing fence line and leaving 14 feet for the future alleyway and steel posts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 144 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/unpackage-and-position-the-squeeze-chute-panels-c3953072 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Unpackage and Position the Squeeze Chute Panels — We never thought we'd get it done! The first section of the squeeze chute panels is prepared for assembly. This involves cutting the factory packaging straps using heavy-duty DeWalt snips. This particular panel is approximately 3 feet wide and forms the 'squeeze' portion of the chute. It is designed to narrow the cattle's path. Due to its significant weight (estimated 65 lbs), the presenter notes that this is ideally a two-person job, but he demonstrates handling it himself. The squeeze chute panels will be connected to the headgate using long connector rods (not shown in this segment). The presenter highlights that Tarter Farm and Ranch Equipment designs their systems for low-stress cattle handling by narrowing the path progressively. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 38 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/connect-squeeze-chute-panels-to-headgate-c3953074 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Connect Squeeze Chute Panels to Headgate — We never thought we'd get it done! The first squeeze chute panel is manually moved and aligned next to the headgate. Long, heavy-duty connector rods are dropped through the pre-drilled holes in the top and bottom of the panel and corresponding slots in the headgate to secure the two sections together. This panel is adjustable; its width can be set to the widest position for initial installation by raising a connecting rod and sliding the panel over, dropping the rod back into a notch. The presenter explains that this adjustability ensures cattle are snug but not harmed, reducing stress during handling. He notes that the entire system is designed to be bolted to concrete if needed, but for this setup, it's placed directly on gravel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 73 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/connect-alleyway-panels-to-the-squeeze-chute-c3953082 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Connect Alleyway Panels to the Squeeze Chute — We never thought we'd get it done! Two 10-foot long sheeted alleyway panels are transported and connected to the squeeze chute using the TYM T254 tractor equipped with a Bigtoolrack attachment, which acts as a mobile workbench and equipment mover. The alleyway panels are designed to guide cattle into the squeeze chute. The sheeted design minimizes distractions for cattle, creating a 'cave-like' environment that encourages forward movement, as per Temple Grandin's low-stress handling principles. Connector rods are used to join the panels securely. The tractor is instrumental in safely moving and accurately aligning these heavy panels, highlighting its versatility in farm tasks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 85 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/assemble-the-circular-sweep-system-c3953085 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Assemble the Circular Sweep System — We never thought we'd get it done! The curved panels of the sweep system are attached next, forming a circular pen that funnels cattle into the alleyway. The tractor with the Bigtoolrack is again used to position these heavy panels. Connector rods are used to secure the sweep system panels to each other and to the end of the alleyway. The presenter explains that the sweep system is designed to gradually crowd cattle in a circular motion, reducing their ability to turn back, and guiding them into the narrower alleyway section. He highlights the importance of the sheeted panels in creating a calming 'cave' effect, which minimizes distractions and reduces stress for the animals during handling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 47 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/we-never-thought-wed-get-it-done-v14606503/demonstrate-cattle-flow-and-system-functionality-c3953088 2026-10-24T04:51:49.498Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AAJpnXA7Wtw/hqdefault.jpg Demonstrate Cattle Flow and System Functionality — We never thought we'd get it done! The presenter demonstrates the flow of cattle through the newly assembled system by walking through it himself, mimicking a cow's perspective. He starts in the sweep system, where spring-loaded latches on the panels prevent backward movement as the panels are closed. He then moves into the progressively narrowing alleyway, where the solid sheeted walls create a 'cave' effect to reduce visual distractions and encourage forward motion, a key principle of low-stress cattle handling. Finally, he enters the squeeze chute, where his 'head' passes through the automatic headgate, and the side panels 'hug' him gently. He shows how the side panels feature small access hatches for procedures like palpation, deworming, or ear tagging. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AAJpnXA7Wtw 6460 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg How to fix a bare spot in your yard This DIY project provides comprehensive instructions on how to repair bare spots in your lawn using grass seed and straw.

The presenter, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, highlights that this is a common issue and explains that the process is simple. He briefly shows two types of grass seed: Green Diamond Contractor's Choice (a mix of millet and fescue, suitable for summer and quick germination) and Kentucky 32 Tall Fescue Turf Seed (100% fescue, used in North Carolina and suitable for spring seeding). He advises checking with local garden centers or landscapers to determine the best grass seed type for your specific climate and time of year. For the current spring season, he will be using Kentucky 32. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 170 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/gather-tools-and-prepare-for-spreading-c3951870 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Gather Tools and Prepare for Spreading — How to fix a bare spot in your yard After selecting the grass seed, prepare the tools for spreading. You'll need a seed spreader (like the EarthWay spreader shown, or similar walk-behind broadcast spreader) or you can simply spread by hand for very small areas. Also, gather several bales of straw (purchased from a local hardware store like Lowe's or a landscape supplier) to act as a protective cover for the newly sown seed. The presenter advises buying more straw than you think you'll need, as it's versatile and always useful. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 90 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/load-and-adjust-seed-spreader-c3951872 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Load and Adjust Seed Spreader — How to fix a bare spot in your yard Carefully load the selected grass seed into the seed spreader. The presenter uses Kentucky 32 Tall Fescue Turf Seed. Most seed bags and spreaders will have a chart indicating the correct setting for spreading, typically specified in pounds per square foot or coverage area. For this project, a heavy application rate is used, with about 10-15 pounds of seed for a small bare spot. Set the spreader to a high setting (e.g., setting 9 for an EarthWay spreader) to ensure sufficient coverage. For a convenient and easy opening, the seed bag is cut using a Gerber knife. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 90 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/spread-grass-seed-on-good-soil-c3951873 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Spread Grass Seed on Good Soil — How to fix a bare spot in your yard Push the seed spreader across the bare spot to evenly distribute the grass seed.

The goal is to provide a thin layer of straw to cover the seed, which helps retain moisture and protect the seeds from birds and wind. It's important to break up any large clumps of straw. Ensure you are upwind from the area as you spread to prevent the straw from blowing into unwanted places. The presenter strongly advises against spreading straw on a very windy day to avoid losing your efforts. Remember to pick up all the cut strings to prevent them from tangling in lawnmowers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 150 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/optional-fertilization-and-watering-c3951878 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Optional Fertilization and Watering — How to fix a bare spot in your yard Once the seed and straw are down, you can optionally apply a triple fertilizer (such as 10-10-10, 15-15-15, or 17-17-17) to boost growth. The presenter, confident in his soil quality, opts to skip this step for his good soil area. Crucially, if rain is not expected soon, immediately water the seeded area thoroughly. This will help settle the straw, prevent it from blowing away, and provide essential moisture for seed germination. The newly seeded area should be left to grow until the grass reaches about 8 inches in height before its first mowing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 59 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/amend-hardpacked-clay-soil-with-organic-matter-c3951879 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Amend Hard-Packed Clay Soil with Organic Matter — How to fix a bare spot in your yard For bare spots with hard-packed clay soil, simply adding seed and straw won't be enough for long-term success. You need to introduce organic matter to improve the soil structure. The presenter demonstrates using composted horse manure, which is rich in biological material and acts as a fertilizer. You can collect composted manure from local sources, agricultural centers, or municipal compost facilities. Five to ten bags of composted manure (or good garden soil as an alternative) would be sufficient for an area of about 40 square feet. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 151 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/seed-and-compact-hardpacked-clay-bare-spots-c3951883 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Seed and Compact Hard-Packed Clay Bare Spots — How to fix a bare spot in your yard After spreading the composted manure, use a garden rake to evenly distribute it over the hard clay bare spot and break up any clumps. Then, hand-scatter the grass seed generously over the raked manure. Once seeded, gently step on the area to compact the seeds into the compost. This 'seed-to-soil' contact is crucial for germination. The presenter stresses that more stepping is better. This step exposes the fescue seeds to the compost, promoting growth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hgCyozopNZk 100 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-bare-spot-in-your-yard-v14606504/cover-hardpacked-clay-bare-spots-with-straw-c3951884 2026-10-24T04:48:42.707Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hgCyozopNZk/hqdefault.jpg Cover Hard-Packed Clay Bare Spots with Straw — How to fix a bare spot in your yard After seeding and compacting, apply a layer of straw over the newly seeded clay area, similar to the good soil method.

This instructional video demonstrates how to prevent and repair flat tires on various off-road and utility vehicles using Stan's Tire Sealant. It covers identifying tire sizes to determine the correct sealant quantity, preparing the tire by cleaning and removing the valve core, injecting the sealant, and reinflating the tire. The process is designed to proactively seal punctures and slow leaks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 626 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/no-more-flat-tires-v14606510/understand-tire-sealant-and-read-tire-sizes-c3800963 2026-10-23T00:27:03.880Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FxIRRu8ER2w/hqdefault.jpg Understand Tire Sealant and Read Tire Sizes — NO MORE FLAT TIRES! The video introduces Stan's Tire Sealant, a product designed to prevent and seal punctures in tires. To correctly apply the sealant, it's crucial to know the tire's dimensions. The presenter demonstrates how to read tire sizes from the sidewall markings. For utility vehicle tires, a marking like '25x10.00-12NHS' indicates a 25-inch height, 10-inch width, and a 12-inch rim size, with 'NHS' meaning Not for Highway Service. For ATV tires, markings like 'AT25x10-12' indicate a 25-inch height, 10-inch width, and a 12-inch rim, with a similar 'AT25x8-12' for a narrower front tire. For zero-turn mower tires, a marking like '13x6.50-6' means a 13-inch height, 6.5-inch width, and a 6-inch rim size. These dimensions are then input into the Stan's website calculator to determine the exact ounces of sealant required per tire. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 207 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/no-more-flat-tires-v14606510/prepare-tire-for-sealant-injection-c3800969 2026-10-23T00:27:03.880Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FxIRRu8ER2w/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Tire for Sealant Injection — NO MORE FLAT TIRES! Before injecting the sealant, take a clean rag and wipe around the area of the valve stem on the tire. This ensures no dirt or debris gets into the tire. Then, rotate the tire so that the valve stem is positioned at the 6 o'clock to 6:30 o'clock mark, which is near the very bottom of the tire. This position allows the sealant to puddle at the bottom of the tire once injected, facilitating even distribution when the tire is rotated. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 38 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/no-more-flat-tires-v14606510/remove-valve-core-and-deflate-tire-c3800980 2026-10-23T00:27:03.880Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FxIRRu8ER2w/hqdefault.jpg Remove Valve Core and Deflate Tire — NO MORE FLAT TIRES! Carefully remove the valve cap from the tire's valve stem. Then, use the specialized Schrader valve core remover (often included with Stan's products) to unscrew and remove the valve core. Be cautious as air will rapidly release from the tire. Allow the tire to deflate completely. The valve core remover may contain extra valve cores, which is a convenient feature. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 47 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/no-more-flat-tires-v14606510/inject-tire-sealant-into-deflated-tire-c3800984 2026-10-23T00:27:03.880Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FxIRRu8ER2w/hqdefault.jpg Inject Tire Sealant into Deflated Tire — NO MORE FLAT TIRES! Before opening, vigorously shake the Stan's Tire Sealant bottle to activate the contents. Remove the bottle cap and attach the Stan's Tire Sealant applicator tube to the valve stem. Gently squeeze any remaining air out of the deflated tire to create negative pressure. Then, invert the sealant bottle (with the applicator tube attached and inserted into the valve stem) and squeeze the sealant into the tire. Ensure the specified amount (e.g., 13 ounces in the video's example) is injected. The applicator tube allows for a clean, mess-free transfer of the sealant. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 102 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/no-more-flat-tires-v14606510/reinstall-valve-core-and-reinflate-tire-c3800987 2026-10-23T00:27:03.880Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FxIRRu8ER2w/hqdefault.jpg Reinstall Valve Core and Reinflate Tire — NO MORE FLAT TIRES! Once the sealant has been injected, remove the applicator tube. Carefully screw the valve core back into the valve stem using the valve core remover tool, ensuring it's tightened securely. Then, use an air compressor to reinflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Use a digital tire gauge to accurately measure the pressure. This process re-seats the tire bead against the rim, allowing the tire to hold air. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 47 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/no-more-flat-tires-v14606510/distribute-sealant-and-maintain-tire-c3800988 2026-10-23T00:27:03.880Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FxIRRu8ER2w/hqdefault.jpg Distribute Sealant and Maintain Tire — NO MORE FLAT TIRES! After reinflating, operate the vehicle (e.g., mow the lawn, ride the ATV). The motion will cause the newly injected Stan's Tire Sealant to splash and coat the entire inside surface of the tire. This creates a latex-like, rubbery layer that will automatically seal small punctures (up to 1/2 inch) and slow leaks around the rim as they occur. This proactive approach significantly reduces the chance of flat tires. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FxIRRu8ER2w 51 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/is-it-worth-fixing-tough-tractor-repairs-v14606511 2026-10-24T04:52:58.919Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2ZqkzzK5EO0/hqdefault.jpg Is it worth Fixing?

Tough Tractor Repairs To access the final bolt securing the main drive mechanism, a protective cover needs to be removed. Use the DeWalt impact driver with the 13mm socket to take off the bolts holding this cover. Once the cover is off, the internal PTO (Power Take-Off) drive wheel is exposed. This wheel needs to be slightly rotated to align the access hole, allowing a bolt that secures the main cutter bar assembly to be reached. This prevents the PTO shaft from being in a bind and makes removal easier. This cover is mostly for debris and hands, and doesn't need to be fully removed, just pivoted out of the way. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2ZqkzzK5EO0 53 no https://creeksideoutdoorliving.stesso.com/watch/is-it-worth-fixing-tough-tractor-repairs-v14606511/remove-main-cutter-bar-assembly-c3954116 2026-10-24T04:52:58.919Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2ZqkzzK5EO0/hqdefault.jpg Remove Main Cutter Bar Assembly — Is it worth Fixing?
