Congratulations Rhett!!!!!! btw. I use the Factor meals to replace having to get 'fast-food' for Lunch. It's a much healthier solution to a quick and healthy meal.

[@comedianmattrossey]

WELCOME HOME RHETT!!!! Man, I'm not even related to you all and I had tears in my eyes seeing ya again. Congratulations Private R.Skinner 2nd Class. Home for some real food, and of course lots of love. Heath, really..... you can't complete the turn in 35 points, you need 36? Geeeeez!!!!! 😃 Hopefully you will be able to finish the third tier rock wall behind the house before the snow. You moved a lot of the hill around so I really wonder how stable the hill will be in the Spring meltdown and don't want to see the hillside slide into the house. Again, Welcome Home Rhett!!! Matt - Toronto, Canada

[@ronvera]

Welcome Home Rhett. Thank you for serving in our Military for our Country. Very proud of you. A thing your will never regret.

[@jonsgti]

Proud of ya Rhett and thank you for serving ..

[@grrhenkel]

Thank you for sharing the family reunion with Rhett returning. That was very generous and heart-warming. We all feel like we are (by extension) part of the family. I've said it before but I'll say it again, I look forward to your Sunday videos. They feel like getting a letter from home. Can't wait to see how the new cabin comes together!

[@baskervillebee6097]

Will the doorway face east, please?

[@Heisthelightoftheworld]

Having served in the army and in Vietnam your reunion bought 😢 God bless you and your wonderful family ❤❤

[@ScubaDude_Sg]

Rhett is a fully fledged man now!! So glad to see him and notice that he’s put on some muscle too! Not as skinny as he was b4 he left!

[@willb3018]

Nice to have young men like that who serve our country.

[@GirdHerd]

Heath, As a former Army officer I have one bit of advice for Rhett that I wish someone had told me when I entered active duty...find a mentor who is willing to show you the ropes and help guide your military career. Many NCOs love to take an eager young private who wants to excel in their profession under their wing. Just make sure that NCO is knowledgeable and well respected by their peers and officers.

[@doncaranci2547]

TY for your service Rhett

[@againstallodds0538]

Those signs made me cry 😢 Such a loving family ❤❤❤ May the universe protect you and shield you and the rest of your precious family from any harm or sadness. May the moments of joy and laughter continue to grow and multiply for the rest of your lives. Now, all that home needs is grandkids. Lots of them. You both are going to be the greatest grandparents anyone would ask for. Welcome Home, Rhett 🎉🎊 You are such a good son and a brother. I wish you all the best. Take care.

[@kathryntwitchell1026]

My husband and I enjoy watching you continue to prepare this fine home place for your family. We especially like your music and often wonder if we are hearing you play the guitar.

[@ThomasA.Ethington]

Nothing like family waiting for you when you get home! I got home in 73,thanks for your service Rhett!

[@capnjimmy7357]

Glad to hear he is home. Prayers for him and your family.

[@stormmountain2521]

Welcome home Rrett!. What you have done is one of the most important things you can do. Whether you make it A short time or a career. I salute you.

[@shadegarden7375]

What about siding on your shop…the end where the deer are??

[@GarySmith-re3ur]

Seems like firewood should be 1st before cabin logs at this time of year.

[@charlottemurphy7257]

I live to watch your KZbin channel. It reminds me so much of how I grew up. Although my life at home was less than happy. There were things that I see on Red Poppy that gives me a smile. I’ve text you before about getting a Red Poppy Ranch shirt. I’m just older and I do something wrong every time. I was so thankful that Rhett got home. I have prayed for his safety. I continue to pray for him wherever his path goes. Thank you Rhett🙏🏻 God Bless him and all of your family. God Bless your efforts to keep being encouraged to produce, “Red Poppy Ranch.”

[@charlottemurphy7257]

Thank you Cedar🙏🏻❤️

[@mentalneil]

A huge congratulations to Rhett on completing basic training, being a veteran of the British Army I can safely say you are now a member of the biggest family in the world, all the best in your chosen career path, and may your service take around the world,

[@evalinawarne1337]

Rhett. WELCOME HOME❤❤❤ THANK YOU FOR SERVING YOUR 🙏🇺🇸🙏 COUNTRY🇺🇸🙏 I AM BLESSED TO SEE YOU HOME WITH YOUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@miketyler4536]

So excited for your family. My son leaves for Korea next week for 9 months or possibly more, depending on the Indo Pacific region.

[@williamfreeh1198]

i am now 77 and i still remember basic training. all of us do i think. for the most part it was a positive experience.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello Red Poppy! Welcome home Rhett!

[@sarahp9949]

Aw, what a sweet pops, cleaning the truck for Rhett's home coming.

[@rbrack54]

Basic training is more mental than physical and it is very physical. If you can make it through Basic your good to go. Rhett still reminds me of Buddy Holly. 😁 Thank you for your service Rhett!

[@mxb_se]

Aww man, seeing Cedar crying... right in the feels. That's a good kid yall have there. Thank you for your service, Rhett!

[@CraftCreatePray]

Wow! 6 months have passed so quickly, though it probably doesn’t feel like it to you guys. Welcome home Rhett!

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Yay, Rhett is back ! Hope you’re enjoying your time in the forces ! 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍

[@taurota1554]

Welcome home buddy.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@russrobinson3]

MY GRAND SON CAME HOME THIS WEEK TOO ! GREAT TO TALKED TO HIM AND SEE HIM 😄😇🙃😉🙏🍀 HIS GOING BACK TO FT MOORE , GA

[@lindacsmith13]

Thank you for your service Rhett. It takes a certain kind of man/woman to take a pledge of service. You are blessed with a family that inspires others to be kind, hard working and decent. Life is good.

[@pettyfogger2305]

Having been on both sides of this scene, it is hard to tell which experience is harder and which is more of a relief. Welcome home, Rhett, and hugs to his family and special girlfriend.

[@immunitycorrupts3641]

just realized while watching your son come home I catch myself just grinning ear to ear such joy for you and your family. amazing humans!

[@mikewhittle6100]

Here’s an idea, you mount a trailer hitch receiver to your dozer blade and you can now tow and self load and unload with your mini ex. Handy in the yard especially with a dump trailer. Cheers

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Great to see your boy home again. Love the amount of hay you have for your dear. They will be well fed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@joebagodonuts4039]

Tell your son thank you for his service to this great country!!!

[@lkeu1]

Welcome Home Rhett. So good to see your handsome face on RPR again. The cedar trees have disappeared on RPR. They are such beautiful trees. Shame they had to go. Thanks for the meal kit idea. I think I will try that.

[@LorraineEffenbeck]

Congratulations to Rhett. Momma sure was happy to see him. My eyes were a little wet too. Love to haul bales 😂 not. I like the music background. 🎶

[@MountainMapleRanch]

I’m crying!! Welcome back and so so thankful for your service!! ❤ so proud of Rhett 🥹💪 🇺🇸 ~Ola

[@danharris7685]

I wanted a pickup truck update. Heath was happy to hear it run last video.

[@MyLilMule]

Proud of you Rhett! Thank you for choosing to serve!

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Appreciate you serving Rhett!

[@mattduffy2023]

Congratulations Rhett and thank you for your service. Your Dad hates trees ..just saying. Please help your self and get actual gravel .....just stone gravel. It's worth it weight for your driveway, road and any access you may need. Old railroad gravel, called ballast you can get cheap. Much respect family

[@virginiahill7001]

Great to see your son home. Good job on the soil removal for access. It is looking very good.

[@1944chevytruck]

Welcome home, soldier!

[@Martin-n8c2q]

Heath my heart sank when you pushed that tree over, it was a nice tree. Welcome home Rhett, oh heath you put that ruck on upside down, that why it hurt. One piece of advice from a former British soldier to Rhett make sure your navigation skills are very good. Great video as usual.

[@kearnsey64]

Ok, who didn’t sob when Rhett came home?? It was like when Old Yeller had to be put down!

[@chrischristenson4547]

Thanks to your son for serving our country

[@augustinf]

Damn Rett has become a man, seems like he was a goofy teen not so long ago… Kylie has changed so much this year, mostly on this video! It’s strange to see your kids grow week after week for so many years! I only had one daughter when I started watching about 7 years ago and I have 4 now haha from 8yo to 1,5yo

[@wildbill23c]

Welcome Home Rhett. The hard part is over, now you get to play the 1 weekend a month 2 weeks a year game HAHA!! I should have stayed in , I could have retired last year or this year, depending on how much active duty time I could have accrued....had quite a few years of it when my dumb a** got out LOL. I'm not sure which unit you will be with, but whenever they have days they need guys for whatever is going on, always volunteer if you can as it adds retirement points and it also gives you active duty time, anytime you get a chance to be put on orders for anything. If you stay in for 20 years, it just pushes you towards more retirement points, and active duty time to add up quicker.

[@russellwatters5891]

Happy for ya'll that Rhett made it in after basic, he'll have a little time to cool his heels. The equipment pad/landing has turned out nice, I'm just hoping rain doesn't turn it into a mudslide. Love ya'll ❤️

[@miketyler4536]

My son also began at Benning as well.

[@josea.penagil8150]

My respect to this young MAN and his family, good job in serving a great country. God bless you Rhett and always the very best for you in all your endeavors.🫡🤝✌️👍👌🙌💪

[@justindavenport5666]

some of that small gravel at the turnaround could go in front of the bales, it will sink into the mud right away and help with the base

[@steveferguson5297]

Somehow I think every tree in sight is marked for removal, for one reason or another. If a new project can be dreamed up to take out more trees - then let's get it going!

[@charlesurrea1451]

I love crazy ideas! I have a collection of napkins myself.

[@charlesowens9784]

Thanks again for your time making the video watching from Reno NV

[@brownwarrior6867]

My dad couldn’t make it to my passing out Parade unfortunately but my mum ,aunt (she was ex RAF) and uncle (he was also ex RAF) did . When my Cousin passed out for the Parachute Regiment 6 months later however my dad was there as my uncle had long since passed away. I was there in full dress for both my cousin and my dad. His face said it all. Best of luck to both Rhett and Heath he went a boy and will come back a man. From a former Sapper of the Royal Engineers 🫡 Ps I spent 6 months in the US in my last year in the Forces 4 months at Fort Lewis and 2 months on Yakima. Awesome times and definitely an awesome place.

[@shephusted2714]

you can't go wrong with gravel - it will really help, you should make drainage a priority - ie crown road put ditches on each side - get some sand too if it is a lot cheaper #14 yd loads

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

It’s great that your son is back from basic. He’s starting his new life on the right foot! Are you considering getting your excavator worked on anytime soon. That bucket sounds Ike it’s pretty loose. Probably going to need some line boring. Thanks much for the video!

[@dragonflyhill5748]

There it is; I thought I saw that the siding needed to be finished on the barn. Shouldn’t take long. Might even be more fun than building a hogan.

[@johnjr3870]

Rhett Looks good. Move dirt, repeat,,,,,,,,,,,,, I have a similar rake for my Skid, it does great work on roads.

[@pcmiller2710]

You might consider the butt and pass method when constructing an 8 sided cabin. The long timber screws will be a bit spendy, but you can always buy a long auger bit and a hog drill to fasten the log courses buy drilling the logs and securing with #4 rebar, as it would be a lot cheaper...plus, by using rebar, you can disassemble and make changes or adjustments much easier.

[@randalmartin438]

Not blowing smoke but who taught you to sack hay bales

[@terryayers7549]

I cant believe you cut that beautiful cedar tree down.

[@willb3018]

Yeah. and a CEDAR of all things😁

[@pagegreer5081]

HOPE you do a interveiw with him.😊

[@johnkngs]

Any chance the board and batten on the back of the shop ever gets finished?

[@deniseellenburg649]

Happy Sunday to my favorite You Tube family. How wonderful to see your handsome and brave #1 son back where he belongs! God bless and we'll see you next Sunday, Lord willing. ❤

[@markramrattan7206]

Build a roof over that uncovered corner by the hay

[@josiejunebug6370]

I’ve been with you since you were doing the dirt work for your house and I rejoice with you now! Being a mom and grandma and great grandma, I’ve run your reunion with your son at the airport, back and forth a half a dozen or more times, just to watch all the hugs! May The Good Lord bless y’all 🎉🥳

[@dariocorral]

it´s better to put the first layer of bales laying on their sides so they don´t get rotten by humidity, kinda works

[@rogerbradley7509]

I retired after 20 years in 2014. Im very happy and honored to see young men and women enlist and serve! Very proud of your son! May God protect him and all those who serve! God bless!

[@coryclark9259]

Fun fact. Your course dust is nothing like moon dust. Moon dust is very jagged due to the absence of an atmosphere. As a result it sticks to everything which makes it a significant engineer challenge in lunar exploration.

[@elainedegoede6276]

Glad Rhett is home again. 🙏💕

[@greenflintriver]

So glad Rhett made it home safe ❤

[@mariowickel456]

Heath,are you thinking scribing the logs or butt n pass type

[@adamscour317]

How about finishing that wall

[@adamscour317]

Also, thank you for filming and sharing with us every week, and thank you to your son

[@rogerhowell6230]

Welcome Home Rhett!

[@JudithB-v4v]

JudithB I remember when my son got home from Basic!!!! We have a Wildfire warning and a fire ban and no rain in sight here in Arkansas. Its very dry. I have lost my mojo this summer and cant seem to get started on projects even tho stacking up supplies. Maybe if it gets a little cooler will help??

[@davesanders9203]

He's sooo tall! BTW - thanks for another great video!

[@johnorrock3241]

My Son is Navy 🇺🇸⚓️🇺🇸⚓️ ten yrs now , I remember how it felt to see him after Basic , God Bless our Military Gob Bless Rehett !

[@J297WFD]

Awesome Job Rhett! Make us proud!

[@sinclairpages]

The one-station unit training for infantry Soldiers is about 6 months. That is Basic and Infantry training combined. The straps on the duffel bag hurt because you were carrying it upside down. How long is he home for? He should have 10 to 15 days leave available. Moon dust is a fairly good description of it.

[@jbbrown7907]

Having my livestock on "pasture" without a blade of grass or forage, that would make me put building fence high on my priority list.

[@Briburger]

Happy your son came home ❤🙏

[@joshuahughes133]

Thank you rhett for your service to this wonderful country and thank you to your family for supporting you all your dreams and wishes

[@redneckways1617]

[@enderkakker6999]

Have you thought of creating your eight sided house with earth bags?

[@greybear3090]

I know you are proud of your son, god bless him for his service. I was in the USAF for 8 years and I know the trail he is about to travel. See ya next week.

[@jewelsmoore8477]

What happened with the staining on the house?

8 side cabin ??? have you considered a see thru fireplace that also be support for rafters sort of tee pee lodge / , Hogan only made from log's

[@gadiantonx8474]

take a couple loads of firewood as a backhaul and take the whole barn

[@danbentsen]

Around 8years ago, I helped Bob Stone sell Christmas Trees down in Yorba Linda, on a lot that he ran for Trees R Us. Company was based out of Salem, Or. Lot of times I would sell 3 trees to a customer One for family room, one for kids room, & one for the Master bedroom . Stronger economy in LA. Helped my Grandfather plant & harvest the trees. Grandfather would sell to buyers as far away as Ariz. Could get a thousand to 15 hundred in a chip truck, that the buyers usually hauled with. Ariz & S.Calif buyers usually shipped with enclosed trucks so trees wouldn't shed needles. Grandfather & his brother had around 250,000 trees before they passed, which was a smaller operation. Christmas trees was a pretty fair money maker for their century farm.
