Pro tip: Cut the rebar at a 45° angle next time so it penetrates the ground more efficiently.

[@cedricnora4481]

Damn, I didn’t even think about a blunt edge, good thinkin Lincoln

[@ArpOutdoors]

It’s really not that big of a deal

[@dragonskinner9042]

​@Arp. dawg tbf, he never said it was a big deal. He just said "pro tip". Just giving him a tip for next time. Naturally you can ignore a tip, or you can benefit from said tip. Up to you.

[@ArpOutdoors]

@@dragonskinner9042 said tip doesn’t make enough of a difference to cut it at 45, hence saying it’s not a big deal. You can drive a ground rod just the same from either end even though one has more of a point. Did you not see now easy that steel went into the ground ?

[@justinbarger8494]

@@ArpOutdoors it would take 0% effort to cut an angle and it would make it easier by at least 1% so it seems worth to me

I love seeing all the homesteading stuff, but I would be lying if I didn’t say seeing Minion in any clip in all the videos makes me happiest. I love in the beginning of this video he is just looking at you wagging his tail like “oh hi dad!” ❤

same i admit while i like his homesteading stuff im way more invested in minion and his training i love pets and honestly im not going to be homesteading ever ideally

You might consider picking up a MAP torch. Metal finds a MAP torch sexy and melts at the sight of one.

I feel like you always have to explain everything you do. Like the keyboard quarterbacks come out the woodworks! I guess answering people’s questions tho makes you another cool video. Love the channel tho man. Very interesting life.

I’d be kind of nervous with your supervisor minion what looking over your shoulder 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PatrickCavanaugh0420]

Unfortunately a big enough storm and those short pieces of rebar are not gonna do much. Had almost the exact carport picked up and thrown over 100' damaging the side of my 1957 Chevy 150. It was anchored very similar at every post. I'd personally anchor at least the 4 corners into concrete and then use the straight rebar at every other location.

[@jacksonwoods4809]

The hottest part of the torch is at the tip of the flame, keep the rebar just after the tip and it will get it much hotter 👊

[@bingbongmcgee]

That is good... as long as it doesn't get sucked straight up

Might want to try an oxy&nap gas torch, not as hot as oxygen acetylene but much hoter then just propane The oxy/nap is about $50 cad, so probably half price for usd

[@peternguyen2896]

First ever hearing and using a rotary hammer was just today the odds of finding a video on it is crazy

Damn, cutting rebar with a Sawzall would take forever. Takes forever with a grinding wheel too but I can't imagine using a Sawzall for it.

For the high heat stuff the yellow cans work best. Mavgas/Mapgas/yellagas. I can't recall what its called , only had to use it once for similar circumstances making some high-school welding art ironically in auto shop.

[@bucktheplumber4636]

The best reciprocating saw blades out right now is the "DIABLO BLADES"... they make quick work cutting different types of materials but it the baddest or most awesome blade for cutting cast iron pipe in tje plumbing field... and they make blades for several types of cutting equipment... 🙂👍

[@alangoodrich6590]

Good idea. Can I live in that one for a year? 😂

[@andrewyangforpresident8943]

Cute dog

[@willhall2190]

A tip for finding the balance point is to put your 2 fingers at the ends and slowly move them towards the middle. If done right, the bar should automatically shift the center between your fingers

[@MichaelBacon212]

Diablo blades for the sawzall

[@Awesomeness42102]

I know in reality its simple but i love the whole balance a 10 foot rod to find the 5 foot mark

[@erichood3169]

Hey brother I have 4 of these on my property. They sell anchors for these that has a propeller like tip that you use a large hammer drill to install. It will never come out if the ground.

[@taterpuddin2592]

Pro tip if ever useful again, a large pair of boltcutters makes quick work cutting rebar. Also you'll have keys to the city.

[@zipp4everyone263]

Depending on the soil and wind conditions you might want to do a few concrete set anchors or add a disk of steel under the ground so that the rebar anchor acts more like a shovel anchor and is less reliant on pure friction.

[@isaackvasager9957]

Yea, these rebar sticks arent doing much. They will pull straight out with some serious wind. Needs to use proper auger anchors.

[@tubeonline629]

Yeap i saw one today at the edge of town that was upside down.

If the propane torch isn't hot enough try MAPP Gas..... Just remember that you want a MAPP torch. Most MAPP torches accept propane canisters too, but NOT 🚫 the other way around

[@funnybabbit550]

Look how helpful minion is!!

[@DonniePinkston-xt4ji]

👍

[@thelonewrangler1008]

I'm surprised you got enough heat out of that propane torch to bend that rebar

[@ellsworth1984]

Is this the guy from the Motel 6 T.V. commercials....😊

[@wdwerker]

Try MAPP gas torch , canisters cost a little more but it it burns hotter.

[@komrade223]

Suggestion for your torch. Get a MAP gas torch head. Works with propane bottles, bigger flame but obviously uses more fuel. Or get the torch head and keep a bottle of MAP for stuff like this.

[@Eddi3xBac0n]

that good and cheap as long as a f5 tornado dont come through and bend them bars back

[@kylekocin8672]

I would definitely recommend either a propane/oxygen or oxy acetylene set up for heating things,id go with acetylene strictly because you can use it for everything

[@paulsouth4794]

That method may be ok in light winds . A good storm by by car port kite .

[@chevy383jt]

A the red and yellow skinny cylinders get hot enough to bend that bar more easily

[@sherylbeasley4938]

Probably left the nut at the hardware store next to the cut off wheels cause your other hand was occupied with a Gatorade, candy bar and a bag of jerky. Only a guess.

[@Nobody-U-Want-2-Know]

You need Diablo “steel demon” carbide reciprocating saw blades. They’re fairly cheap and they’ll cut ANYTHING.

[@Formerlywarmer]

Get u a can of MAP gas ( brute yellow) for ur your propane torch and it’ll get hotter and heat that rebar or most anything metal so it bend easily. Last longer as u need less time because it burns way hotter than propane in the blue or green cans.

[@StableNomad]

Pretty sure Amazon carries replacement grinder nuts.

[@Teethmafia]

Idk why I expected you to pull out a tig welder.

[@SupremeShuckle]

The torch you’re gonna want for heating steel would be MAP-propane, not propane. Comes in a yellow bottle and burns hundreds of degrees hotter

[@clickytheblicky9895]

Personally I would have added cement along with the rebar. Half a bag per bar

[@rich2583]

Lol where?

[@drvgxn4719]

In our shope we had to end up using some old vise bolts to use it.

[@mattclark1429]

You need an oxygen acetylene outfit for your rear bending escapades sir.

[@keithrobicheux4749]

Maybe try MAPP gas to get the rebar hotter. Also, it might saw faster if you heat it first (?)

[@jonathanrogers9961]

Get map gas. Same torch head, more heat

Just hate for you to lose it or worse it hurts you or one of your animals or neighbor when it flys away

[@JohnCoffins]

That won't do a whole lot to be honest. It will definitely help, but it's not going to keep it on the ground if a tornado comes.
