How satisfying and exciting it is to clear your own land and discover everything on your property. We love watching the progression of the old bird farm.

[@cornelliacrum74]

Robert you are amazing. We've watched you from the very beginning. It is totally unbelievable how you not only cleared your land but you did it with love, respect and a great sense of possibilities of things to come. Thank you kindly for just being you. You are a very driven, strong individual. Thank you for teaching us to be humble and thankful. You are AMAZING!

[@frankscarborough1428]

Great progress Robert persistence pays off. Fun to see blue and Annie girl

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 WOW, it's really opened up now. The Wisteria really is a beast! Please take care. Aloha 🌺🥰

[@ellanalee6002]

Buying the tractor was one of the best things you could do. It’s amazing what you have accomplished since you bought it. Great job

[@darlahouston4670]

I love the music choice while you’re burning….And in my family we’ve decided that you guys are THE cemetery experts!

[@laurahurst1960]

Tell the other Robert that we miss him!❤

[@karenwright8556]

Yes definitely!😊

[@franhoscheidt8370]

Yes!

[@heatherburden4281]

I have watched this channel from the beginning. I am so impressed with the amount of work that you have accomplished. I love seeing you work on the house. Keep going and thank you.

[@Castleknight]

An aerial view to update us, on what's been cleared, would be nice.

[@BrianPhillips-le3gl]

The burned organic matter will help put nutrients back into the soil.🔥👍. You're doing an awesome job, Robert!

[@sherrilee230]

You really can't tell how much you've cleared until the leaves are gone from the trees. It looks so much better now, and just wait till you plow and plant again. I just love the work you have done. It takes time

[@artillerest43rdva7]

nothing like the smell of privet and wisteria burning in the day! great job! so sweet seeing the progress on your property you can actually see the trees for the forest! so much of the wisteria is on steroids! huge in size! it is neat how once dry, it pulls right out of the trees w/o damage! take care, be safe out there!

[@pattucker612]

Good video the old Burnfield is looking good, thank you and will see you on the next one

[@vickymurdock8127]

Awesome Robert

[@leapingkitties]

I do love the OBF fires. I also love the ongoing war with the evil wisteria b/c you are winning that one! Save the oak! Thanks for sharing.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

The next time will have to be labeled "Chain saw massacre of Wisteria, Yeah" Nice fires and good views and riveting story line. Thanks.

[@terrynichols7199]

You should be proud of all the work you've done.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

LOVE when you clear land there, and burn some more westeria!! I agree to SAVE THE BIG OAK TREE!!! The sooner the better, before the westeria kills that one as well..Oh how I wish I had a chain saw and was down there, I would go to town on all that preivet and westeria. Robert, from what this property WAS to all the work you have done on this property over the last two yrs, to now, is amazing and you gotta stand back and feel very proud of it all. was it worth it?? HELL YES! The music you added to the burn of this video was perfect! Please give Annie and Blu a hugh for me..

[@MarshaShelley-t3n]

Good music!!

[@annaburke5781]

enjoyable to watch the progress you have made, but such fun listening to the things you say. keep it up

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I’ve watched since the first clearing, you have done an amazing job! Thank you for sharing!

[@debranelson1987]

So, I guess you could say that the wisteria is holding the privet trees hostage. The war continues...😎

[@SondraD7676]

18:07 20:06 It is still hard to believe the size of the wisteria vines and the devastation that has occurred. And as always the clearing and burn is no less gratifying. Another section of the Old Byrd Farm that is added to the overall layout and viewpoint from out here in YT land. Pointing out the chicken coop, shed, house really helps with orientation. Can you consider taking drone video of the farm while the leaves are gone? A complete tour, like the house. Excellent to see more progress!!! 👍👍❣️❣️

[@lynnmacleod1879]

Agreed 💯 Sondra!!!😊

[@ppurgett]

Yes, please

[@judydryer9373]

Keep the good work up,May God bless you in all you do

[@sherrie545]

WOW love seeing all the progress both outside and inside you’ve made!

[@Lorriann63]

You're doing a great job, Robert. It's interesting to see it changing in every video. It's really looking nice!

[@Mari-B]

You are making a lot of progress! Love the music as we watch the fires burn.

[@tacocin]

Absolutely love these burn videos. So mesmerizing. Looks like you had a little help and I totally respect and salute you for keeping that private. You're a good man Robert. Blessings to you and yours! 🙏

[@spunkygmahappy4778]

I bet that big old oak will be very pretty this Spring when the leaves start blooming, wide and proud.

[@stewartburks868]

You're just like me. I love to burn brush. I became a paraplegic in 20 and all I do now is watch you tube. Enjoy!

[@jerryturner2186]

" Damned wisteria " fires look like a lot of fun !!

[@chandraachtenberg3123]

It is a shame wisteria is so destructive because it is gorgeous and smells amazing. Took about 4 years to get it killed off my old house. Like you we cut it out, we burned it out, we even got desperate and tried commercial brush killer. It is a formidable opponent once it gets rooted.

[@deniseroberts460]

I could feel the heat and smell the wood burning 👍🏼👍🏼

[@judypatrick42]

How Is Your Friend Brent That Has Cancer? I've Been Praying 🙏 For Him.... Miss Seeing Y'all Two Together. Tell The Other Robert,Walter, Uncle Ken We Miss Them Too.

[@celleduffel1533]

Good day for a burn. We have rain coming back on the 18th and snow on the 21st. Hi Blue and Miss Annie.

[@pameladawson4081]

Hello. What a lot of progress!!!!! I remember the "other Robert" commenting on seeing your hammock saying he could see what "work" you had been doing. Ha-ha! Now, the camping area is connected to the front field. So much progress and work. Thank you for showing your followers...

[@vickiebrannon5217]

Soldier on! Victory will be yours!

[@jeniceowen5184]

Wow Robert, the farm is really looking better.

[@jen8491]

Wow! Robert, you have done a wonderful job clearing the land. Huge difference from when you first started. Your description of this video was great. Great story and great writing 👍

[@domsaverese]

Save the Ole Oak Tree 👏

[@cheryllakin6736]

Its really looking good.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Thank-you for demonstrating why those gnarly wisteria branches won't make great-looking walking sticks.---I wish your helper was comfortable stepping in to say hello.---Too bad about the march to the swamp...I heard a snap & thought sure you'd broken something!

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

It’s amazing how the “fields” are getting cleared up👌

[@TS-bn7zt]

Fantastic to see your enthusiasm s still as it was when you started Rob. Save just one old house I recall you saying some time ago now, well your making that happen now. Iv always enjoyed your videos, the early days of Stepside all the way along the journey. Thank you.

[@brendahogue5487]

May the lord bless and protect you Robert

[@joschmid1492]

Wow Robert it is amazing how much you have accomplished at the OBF from the beginning .I am just in awe of how it looks now .I don't know if I was seeing right but correct me if I'm wrong ,but seeing the flames going up the dead tree was fantastic .🔥.

[@marypettitt9150]

Every show, more progess. Compared to a year ago, so much has been accomplished by all your work. BTW, thanks for getting the salves to my sister so quickly. She loves home-grown organic remedies and has put it to use already. 5 day turnaround, ordering to delivery, across the country. 🎉

[@cathyorlowski1951]

Where has the Other Robert been lately. We miss seeing him. Haven't seen sidestep adventures much.

[@ppurgett]

It's called Adventures into History now. No longer sidestep

[@marcbrunson6986]

Great song choice for the time lapse. I never heard an instrumental version.

[@williamhanley2566]

You are progressing beautifully. In a similar circumstance I hired a forest mulcher and he did an unbelievable job. Since you have already done the hardest work you will see marvelous results.

[@cheryllakin6736]

I want to see some chain saw action😅

[@peterholmesgavleman]

Robert, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for several months now. Very enjoyable! However, I, perhaps like others would be interested to know haw you became involved with TOBF. Some extracts of what the property looked like when you started the project would be of interest

[@silviasmith5696]

Almost makes you want to think they were farming wisteria plants being that there is so much of it 😊😂😅

[@teaberrywmn]

Looks nice Robert. I'm in the process of doing the same thing to my property in northern California. At the end of the day, it is always satisfying to stand back and look at the process. Btw, I love seeing that wisteria come out of those trees. March on with your goal in sight!

[@lynnmacleod1879]

I'm still amazed at the well anchored network of roots on the wisteria. Looks awesome Robert!

[@trapper1928]

Need to get a grapple on that kubota it'll really speed things up

[@rikspector]

Robert, I grew up on a 27 acre farm which I thought was big when I was little, but, as far as I can see, this looks ten times the size. We had 6 buildings and our Victorian farmhouse which dated back to the late 19th or early 20th century. Your property will be amazing when you get it cleared. Can't Wisteria vines be used as firewood? Cheers, Rik Spector

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

My flunky guess is it would be pretty punky, very soft. It would probably burn fast but not be all that good for fires in woodstoves, for long lasting overnight fires. You usually season wood before you burn it and as Robert has shown it just gets all soft and brittle. Just my take. We heated with wood for 27 years.

[@rikspector]

@@MarciaShackelford-st5bt thank you for enlightening me, I really didn’t know about those vines:)

[@virginiafox2119]

When you burn the wisteria does it have a sweet smell?

[@Phyllis-d1i]

Go get the saw!!! Go get the saw!!! Cant wait to see ya cut that stuff. Also can you push out those T posts with your tractor?

[@anitameza3960]

You may be able to get an attachment to go on your tractor that pulls trees out by the roots . Daniel Arms from Arms family homestead on KZbin uses one on his tractor.

[@carolwestbrook5388]

I saw a video of a field clearing. He had a mulcher attached to his tractor. About the size of the brush hog. It was eating through small stumps all the way to bare dirt. Thought of you with the vines on the ground

[@ppurgett]

The vines are fibrous and have a tendency to jam up machines, that's why he tries to use the rake and pulls them out

[@carolcollins815]

Hi Robert good videos today. You burning wisteria and Aaron making bowls. One of the days I hope we see a new video of you and Aaron visiting. Also yesterday I saw a glimps of some kind of lamp you found and now I can’t find it. What’s was that??

[@ppurgett]

I believe that may have been a lamp he already had in the house, he just found out it's uranium glass and shared that info with us. That was o e of his shorts

[@carolcollins815]

Thanks

[@pennygreenwood8204]

Beautiful fires.

[@paulhoffman6371]

To think you started clearing with the old tractor that needed a lot of TLC.

[@lindatanner8726]

I have a wisteria tree that's about 15 years old. I love it right now, but it's about 20 feet from my sewer. Should I be concerned about its roots?

[@christianrebatrimeloni269]

I wish we just have rain we got over a foot of snow rain and sleep and some ice yesterday now we got more snow and high winds and bitter cold here in pa

[@michellemhessman4364]

Hey cold here

[@diane1390]

My late father would have been out there with his chain saw, cutting down dead trees and breaking them down for fire wood for his wood burning stove, an incert that he had placed in front of the fireplace. He even tried burning grapevines, don't do that, they burn too hot.

[@judithburdine4910]

I thought you said wisteria would grow again if you cut it. I could be wrong.

[@tinacasarotto1264]

It will. He just keeps mowing it over. Eventually, it will starve due to no foliage to feed it. It will take years to completely get rid of.

[@lisaskaggs8965]

I saw a guy with a shredder on the back. Really took care of business.

[@ppurgett]

Wisteria is fibrous, would jam up machinery often I believe

[@lisaskaggs8965]

@@ppurgett Not this guy's shredder. He took out small trees, vines and big bushes. I've never seen anything like it before and I thought of Robert.

[@MarshaShelley-t3n]

You could cut those big pieces of vine that are all twisted together in equal lengths ans build a table with cool table legs! Or find someone local that does that sort of thing and jave one made!!

[@tinacasarotto1264]

It's too brittle.
