“Your viewers wouldn’t be interested ” lol, that has to be the dumbest thing a company in the business to sell paint to say! Do they know how many subscribers your account has?? Thank you for all the great content!

[@kerryd4775]

I thought the same thing. Whoever sent that email isn't very bright and should probably look for other work.

[@christinawarbrooke213]

Its so cool to see the older clips, you looking so young, and yet it doesn't seem that long ago that i started watching your vlogs,

[@joedoe6444]

if you look at the video of the firewall of the truck from around the 16:30 mark, you can see a malamute face where the brake master cylinder sits. it looks like he is watching Heath work while resting his chin on the frame. i think you should name this truck "the Malamute" since it will be the lead dog on your snowy days blazing the trail for others to follow.

[@dorothyallen3614]

It does look like a dog watching, oh my, Rueger maybe!

[@marklangkamp3151]

Seems like it would have been more economical to have went to a county or state auction and bought a 5 or 10 ton truck with a underbody scraper on it, also with a plow hook up on front. Lots of uses then even in the summer. Just a thought.

[@Comment7138]

Exactly. What’s your time worth? Safety? Convenience, etc.? Keeps buying all this junk instead of making a payment. How much are you really ahead?

[@mikeunum]

I see the kids have fun. Good to see they are happy.

[@6666tank]

By God, another stellar purchase

[@kpdvw]

A plow truck is a must....! Digging out dirt, felling trees in the new property is of secondary importance.....

[@heidipustelniak652]

I am constantly in awe of all the things you are able to accomplish! What a blessing to have so many skills!

[@stormmountain2521]

Cedar, thank you for the egg tip.

[@shadegarden7375]

The snow is so pretty with the drone views!

[@doncaranci2547]

Hi all Thanks for all the great videos

[@anthonykline6126]

Somebody needs to sponsor this man a hoist

[@edpoints1127]

He's got a wood burning stove and pays for the propane heater instead. There's nothing finished in the garage. Working on the new ground parking lot instead of the plow truck was more of an issue than blaming the lost time on the water shed project. It's an obvious order of importance, if it was followed. The Snowcat would've plowed everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, on the road easily. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sold it though?! 🤔

[@TheWestlandgirl]

@@edpoints1127 There isnt anything he could possibly do that would make everyone happy. There are always some who have to judge based on THEIR wants, priorities and needs.

[@randallreece3636]

Love the look back to 4 years ago...I remember that video. You folks have come soooooo far. The pride you must feel for all that you have accomplished and went through together as a family. It's absolutely amazing!

[@brucegilbert4413]

Living close to the tropic of capricorn in Australia I don't see snow so while you mob are in snow we've got hot steamy summer and just watching you play be assured your helping me feel cool 🙂

[@vettepicking]

I like to install a new torch liner when i get a used mig machine. Make sure the wire size and drive wheels/liner match, many people dont know how to setup a welder when buying it new

[@tinatipps5042]

I’ve really enjoyed watching your journey! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@louroberts5567]

Good morning, Heath. Um, I have to say, those of us that DO work similar to this (working on vehicles and welding) may very well BE interested in the paint you're using. May Our Lord continue to bless you all with good health, happiness and prosperity.

[@Bstprtwaknup]

Looked like Por15

[@JustSimplifying]

I was a little confused about that point. Unless they specifically emailed and said please do not mention our product, I wasn't sure why he couldn't still share the name. If a product works, share the knowledge.

[@alfredmisterka5880]

I think you did a fantastic job this year around your place in your video God bless you and your family Amen

[@1944chevytruck]

POR-15 PAINT LOVE THAT STUFF!

[@Yellowdogsworld]

It was nice to see old Ruger show up in a video… he was a cool old dog😊

[@karengossett1475]

Reading a book and heard my alert, checked and Oooh it is Red Poppy Ranch!👏🏻❤️ The eggs situation cracked “ pun intended” me up! 😂😂. Oh to be young again to enjoy the snow! 🙏❤️

[@wkjeom]

Yep. I've outgrown the snow too. Maybe better to say that my poor old body has outgrown the snow. It was so fun when I was young. Nice watching the videos though. I touch the screen and its warm. Lol

[@57firetruck]

POR-15 is great stuff! I use it all the time. If you punch two holes in the lid (pour and vent) and seal them with a large sheetmetal screw the paint won't setup in the can...lasts for years. To stir I roll it across the floor for a few minutes, don't shake it as that puts micro air bubbles in it which keeps it from laying down smooth. Only works on sandblasted bare metal or rust, not over already painted surfaces...

[@Sigurther]

Ha! That was the secret ingredient! Good eye.

[@Featherburner]

You are also not supposed to brush it straight from the can. I have switched over to KBS Coatings as it is just as good as POR-15 but cheaper.

[@57firetruck]

I never open the lid, just use the punched pour hole to put it in a throw away cup and reseal the lid with a screw as soon as I pour out what I need.

[@rbrack54]

Looks like your chickens like it warm when they lay eggs. You may want to insulate their house and have nesting boxes with deep "Chopped straw" bedding in them. Un-Chopped straw will mat up and start to mold from ladies coming in and out. As you know they should not be allowed to sleep in the nesting box as they will poop there as well. They well need more protein in the winter. Any bugs or left over animal fat from dinner will help them to lay in the winter. We would put a 60 watt light bulb under a glass bowl mounted on a metal box when it got real cold and the chickens would gather around it when the weather got it's coldest. I know this sounds like a lot of fuss over chickens, but they contribute much more than they cost to own. We feel it when our chickens dry up. Fresh eggs are the protein you feed them coming back to you, and their waste feeds your garden. All so chickens are tasty because they taste like everything. 🙂God bless. 👍

[@carlyonbay45]

19:22 the company that made the paint REFUSED to send you free paint - we don’t all get sponsored in this life Heath - some of us WORK and BUY our own …. You can’t have everything for free 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brentfrench752]

I see your home in the spring, summer and fall, and think what a great paradise you built, then I see the winter with the snow, everything wet, and is getting so cold and think, nope, it’s not for me. Although it only gets down in the twenties where I’m located, and we only get a light dusting of snow, that’s enough for me. When I work in my garage during the winter, it’s freezing cold and I have to use the heater blower, which is the same as yours, but seeing you in your shop looks really uncomfortably cold. Nope, not for me!

[@dfg2936]

Question: what do you do with your goats? Do you milk them and use the milk? Do you occasionally have one processed for meat? I know you spend a bit on hay to feed them so wondering what is the purpose of having them. I doubt they are just pets. Would love to know more.

[@homerfantastic]

They're pets.

[@davidbowsher879]

God bless you Heath. You've come a long way. I remember watching those old videos and Ruger. You're making progress every year. Soon it will be just maintaining. That will be a milestone.

[@shsharrell9267]

At least

[@karenriggle5435]

I found on the different flocks that I've had over the years that if you leave your chickens in the Run or you don't have a run but leave them in the coop till like 9:00 or 9:30 and then turn them loose it makes them put their eggs in the nest box I have not had a chicken going lay eggs out anywhere other than in the chicken nest boxes used to but I found out if I left the chickens in till that time and then turn them loose and they free-ranged all day I never had any eggs come up missing or you know that they were putting them out somewhere else and I've never found any other eggs around when I've been out trimming and mowing

[@suttonbogedain5874]

Don't trash the bad eggs. Freeze them until spring for use as garden fertilizer. Great stuff.

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

Cedar, my husbands family had Chickens an they payed eggs all winter, he set light to go on an turn off just like it was summertime an it worked for them. Good luck on those eggs

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello Red Poppy and thumbs UP!

[@newlyenlightened8775]

4 years seems to have flown by...you've got a few less hairs now, Heath - lol. Lots of work to get a decent plow though, but it will be worth it. You really need some insulation in that roof though to heat the garage. We don't want you to freeze. Stay safe!

[@XavierOrtizJr]

I started watching around the time of the video clip you showed at the end. Wild how fast time flies. Keep up the great work Heath and Fam!!!

[@1STGeneral]

Another year another Red Poppy Ranch scramble to get ready for winter. Time sure flies watching someone else work 🌨❄☃️🌬🆒️🥶

[@annewilson8454]

Probably too late now but Cedar dig a hole in your vegetable patch and add the eggs, cover for an extra veg boost next year.

That was nice going down memory lane... wow 4 yrs ago....

[@marclee6975]

OHHH MY HECK !!! The eggs that is so funny!!! The dang back cat!!! If I was a chicken I would lay there too:) hahaha great VIDEO:)

[@danver222]

In the last video I commented about that old Chevy square body plow truck and now it is great to see the clip included in this video. I don't remember if we heard where that truck ended up, but I hope it did get saved from the junk yard as you suggested. It was certainly too small for that level of plowing but I sure love my half-ton square body for plowing snow where I live.

[@charlesahon]

That is a great egg tip.

[@Christopher-Randall]

I had a '95 Ram with the NV4500 transmission. Loved it! Just make sure you use the Mopar Manual Transmission fluid, and not any other fluid. And don't let the Amsoil evangelists that roam the interwebs convince you otherwise! I love Amsoil, and use it in my other manual transmissions, in my motorcycle, and in my other vehicles. But, NOT the NV4500. It really is finicky about which fluid you use and the OEM is really the only acceptable trans fluid for this transmission.

[@kenny.monroe58]

By the looks and sounds of your welding you're getting good at your technique.

[@kryptoniteweather]

We could use you're plow over here in MN! We're forecasted to have since snow the next 3 days. 2"already fell today so who knows what we'll get 🤷 Everyone seems to be caught off guard with this system

[@denniswilske5416]

I do enjoy your videos a lot. I learn about things from you

To clean the grinding grit from the wind shield use Bon Ami from the grocery store. Amazingly clean afterwards.

[@roberthouston594]

As soon as I seen that tire changer I thought this is going to be a struggle. It might work better with one of those bars for the manual tire changer with the nylon inserts(for alloy wheels) that you walk round the tire changer to demount the tire. Remember to make sure you push the bead down into the center of the wheel when fitting and removing the tire.

[@dougyurecko6500]

I bet the " UNNAMED " paint people regret that decision.

[@billadams8681]

I doubt that lol. I wouldn't have gave him free paint. It isn't even an automotive channel.

[@ThePhantom0077]

Just a tip, I hear your wire speed is too fast for the amps on the welder. Dial is back a touch. Cheers

Is the unnamed paint called POR15? Because it is great stuff to paint on metal to keep the rust off.

[@remington940]

maybe do a couple mote plates down the frame the next weakest points that will likely crack or bend if they were to, its looking great tho can't wait to see the work horse in motion

[@homerfantastic]

The plow trucks not done and its snowing. At least you got your pad done and your trail to nowhere.

[@larryfreeman7979]

my thoughts exactly. Heath claims the reason the truck isn't done is because of the water storage bunker. No, Heath, its because you spent weeks moving dirt, why that was so important to you is beyond me ??? also, you are not that far from town that an old tire changer is necessary for off grid living. All the time spent trying to do big tires on it is better spent on the plow truck.

[@homerfantastic]

@@larryfreeman7979 Right, how's he gonna balance those tires? There may be an "off grid" way to do it I'm not familiar with?

[@richardthomas1743]

Those mud tires that you like to run on everything are the worst tire that you could have on your vehicles for winter driving. The rubber is too hard and stiff to offer any grip when it is cold and there is no siping on the tread.... "And although mud tires are much more pliable than all terrain tires (which tend to deal with much harder surfaces), the particular soft rubber compound construction is detrimental to their winter performance as they react poorly to steep drops in temperature. They will harden below 45 degrees.".. They are no rated for snow , they are rated for MUD . While Off-Road Maximum Traction tires are branded with the M+S symbol and able to churn through deep snow, their typical oversize applications and the absence of snow-biting sipes in their large smooth lugs can challenge their on-road wintertime traction on packed snow and icy surfaces. Just saying.

[@calvinculpalt]

Couldn't agree more.

[@russellwatters5891]

And you said a mouthful. Heaths gonna do what he's gonna do, and he's lived in those conditions for years, so he should know by now what works and don't. If you've seen his first videos, the road was an absolute mudfest, gotten better with time, but still muddy.

[@richardthomas1743]

@@russellwatters5891 I have seen all of the videos and I am not talking about the muddy roads , or course mud tires are made for that. I also had seen what tires were on his sons truck when he lost control on the snow covered, icy roads and rolled his truck over. Mud tires when it is cold are too stiff of a tread to grip, that is why they are called mud tires and not called snow/winter tires. And yes Heath always does what he wants.

[@whosurdaddy8907]

And the width matters. Mud you wanna wide tire to float, snow and ice you want thin to bite in with higher poundage per square inch

[@benzmansl65amg]

What tires are best?

[@MrJohnpmeadows]

Was watching thinking "I should tell him about (insert paint name) lol then I watch you use it. Good stuff. You would think any time you can get your name out there you should. Oh well. There loss

Hey red poppy ranch. Do you know what you need to put on the back of that plow truck is a small dump bed you can use it like a flatbed until you need to get a load of new gravel for your driveway or such things.

[@Aiko2-26-9]

I had to laugh about those eggs. Smart chicken to lay her eggs where it's soft and warm. The trick is going to be training her to go back to laying in the nesting boxes.

[@SpringdaleJim]

I learned ''pool'' in high school. My math teacher taught us how to figure out ''fraction'' on the ball and bumpers around the table. It was a unique way to learn fractions in math class. He made math fun. I never got good with pool, but i did learn a lot bout math.

Hiya Heath and Cedar

[@kenvangoe9358]

Obviously as you weld more the better you get and you will see a big difference in the final product Heath and using POR15 paint that both my youngest son and I swear by it cost a little more but the results are very good and durable if applied properly I guess the chickens found the best place to lay the eggs Cedar or forgot where the chicken coop was hopefully this won't happen all the time but now you know where to look its my guess that the next video the plow will be just about ready to fire up if I know Heath maybe not ready but at least get it started nice look back I do remember that shortbed box had issues but something that old usually does no matter what brand even you looked younger imagine that be careful and stay safe my friends God love ya all
