BUILDING WITH BAMBOO! OUR ISLAND LIFE

[@derkong7114]

The Iguanas are going to love their new toy fence. They are excellent climbers.....

[@stevennnew9930]

There not bad at burrowing either.

[@MausMasher54]

Maybe scent the fence with an iguana Repellent(see Amazon)????

[@winterwolf2012]

At 6:45 an iguana was watching your plans & fell from the tree behind you. Nature will find a way!

[@winterwolf2012]

@FreeAtLast4ever That is rather hard to swallow on a Sunday morning. We have them all over the Florida Keys.

[@jenadidio6536]

So funny!!

[@marypullin9865]

I am laughing. You are challenging those iguanas!

[@LeeSolomon-y7s]

I saw that too. We used to winter in the Keys. When it got cold the iguanas were so lethargic they would literal fall out of the trees.

[@allenclark1914]

Good luck in keeping the Iguanas out…

[@johnohare6360]

You guys are absolutely the most enjoyable and fun to watch. Matt’s humor is right up my tree and I am awed by his ability to contemplate a problem and then solve it (generally). Thanks for the show.

[@wallywombat164]

@@johnohare6360 Good onya John. I'm on your side mate.

[@lynnemacinnes1502]

Camper roof and deck look great. Lot more living space.

[@JR-mo8os]

That bamboo will be a termite snack. Tropical hardwood is resistant. You should see what the locals use to build their bohios.

[@GaryRupp-fe6ly]

Kristen don’t you just Love Matt’s reasoning of why he should go to Home Depot 😂😂 Atfer years of witnessing Kristen’s designing I trust the the beautiful outcome. But Matt is a hard worker and falls in line eventually so don’t fire him 😂 thanks for always bringing joy to my Sunday’s. 👍❤️❤️

[@lindabutler7914]

I love watching your channel it just feels like home in the jungle are on the boat what i love the most is the fact you take viewers comments with a grain of salt Your both very strong mentally and physically comments good are bad all pay the same .Your good people and live and do things your way !!!

[@mcgrath3]

TURN that rod right side up. Please. LOL

[@bobbrown9158]

Tilapia marinated in mild hot sauce, BBQ, make great fish tacos. Wonderful video.

[@mitchellmcpherson8489]

We'll keep watching 👀 because you're both lovable characters, and because 8 acres insures we'll be seeing many episodes, my wife calls it "shitbirding" the job done.

[@jorgefinol8620]

"Taking the cats fishing", that is a great one...

[@angelaimbrenda4506]

Matt..thank you for being a great human for rescuing and giving those kitties (your family) a home and love. You two are great.

[@imdawolfman2698]

Agree, dat true! And what a life those cats have. Freedom, fun and food.

[@rl3898]

IGs will dig under it ! Family increase onthe way !

[@kevlarandchrome]

Hey Matt, look into "biochar" and "hügelkultur" if you're doing raised beds for the garden/greenhouse. Also consider some electric fencing woven into that bamboo, iguanas love to climb, but no animal likes getting a little zap, protect those veggies.

[@mariacristinacunha5789]

Good job!! 👏👏👍

[@dazfromnz01]

Looks like a good swimming hole there 😊😊

[@michaelesantiago]

I noticed your previously planted heirloom pumpkins. Those are more appropriate for the mainland. The heirloom pumpkins are susceptible to disease and rot in tropical climates. You may want to try the West Indies pumpkin also known as Calabaza locally. My dad grew those in our backyard in PR and they were delicious for not only pie but also for savory dishes like PR style pink beans (habichuelas rosadas). To get the seeds buy a calabaza from a local farmer, pull the seeds and air dry them.

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Matt and Kristen, it's great to watch you carve out your Home from the Jungle. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

[@patrickchew3839]

Love you two and how you two circumnavigate through your jobs and your great spirit!!! Thanks

[@serenecandle]

Looks great!!!

[@chrisnielsen4241]

good job

[@MrRafa52]

Nice to see the river not brown from the storms! That place you were fishing looks good for swimming! 🎉

[@mitchellmcpherson8489]

You can crested a huge compost pile, but I would find a source for bovine manure or equine 💩 to add to your compost, then turn it when possible, the manure makes a difference. Love Mitch and Judy

[@garymucher4082]

Life is a continuous lesson. The key is to learn them along the way and not to repeat the ones that didn't work out. But you two are coming along well and will prevail in the end... Thumbs Up!

[@jimfisk4474]

I'm watching watching watching Matt and Kristen and am amazed and entertained, long time watcher and wish you both the best!❤❤

[@tropicshade]

Thank you guys for taking such good care of the animals. We have rescued 17 cats over the years and one of our cats had a fetish for only pink or lime green colored toys. We would bury those toys in a pile of toys and she would always dig them out and carry them around... so yes, I think they can see colors in certain shades. Hoping your greenhouse survives even the weakest of storms. Greetings from Guam!

[@helomech1973]

Tilapia is awesome to eat. I raised thousands.

[@FranciscoMarin-j1t]

iguanas can dig tunnels. you need chicken wire fence to keep them away.

[@lilygirl2719]

They can climb bamboo also - they are climbers. I hate to see all that work and the iguanas just climb over like nothing is there.

[@marypullin9865]

Your cats are adorable and living a great life!

[@neils9944]

Matt can herd cats...that alone is a life achievement!

[@garyrobertson3645]

Greenhouse is a good idea guys👍👍👍

[@wadeprior5203]

You doing a good job keep up the good work you guys I'm proud of both of you God bless you guys❤

[@WoodenWonders99]

Iguanas 🦎 are learning how to fly 😬 Greenhouse, Veggie garden ❤

[@Grant-c1l]

I applaud your ambition on building a fence, but from what I see it will not stop the iguanas.

[@AlbertoDelucca]

Matt, you are holding the spinning reel upside down. The reel goes facing down.

[@MrFroglips69]

Another groovy episode. You two are creating you dream, and it sure is a beautiful one. Always stay true each other.

[@michelebushnik2874]

Loving the video! Humorous cat fishing, you two are adorable sharing this❤❤ Green house project looking good,

[@danielhylton4675]

What a blessing. You've got each other and always something to do~! NICE~!🙂

[@TexasReal1960]

Matt also if you can get it there Galvanized electric fence wire makes good tie wire for projects

[@ratattan]

Bamboo fence to keep out the iguanas? Good luck with that one! They'll just burrow under it or climb over it.

[@livingwitheart]

Watching this at four twenty, i almost cried with matt's quick quit.😂

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

Mornin guys

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Mornin!

[@markbilbrey2810]

Look into vertical gardening . You won't disappointed

[@biskienator]

I don't think the iguanas are going to have any trouble climbing over or digging under that fence. beautiful job anyway. you guys are a treat to watch every week.

[@johnmorrison8942]

Thanks!

[@oh-brothers]

Watching you guys build things kinda reminds me of Gilligans' Island !!!!

[@shawnellbranham6589]

When y'all said on your video you were going to take the catfishing. If you watch it and look behind you, it's either a cat jumping down from the tree onto a smaller branch or it's an iguana

[@Pete-v4l]

Love you Mattster n Kristen.

[@shannanbegley8189]

Compost is key to a garden!

[@SniffieBear]

Permaculture, no till would work wonders but takes longer to produce vegetables. The could start an orchard now an it might produce fruits by the time they finish their home. Time will tell, homes are a labor of love.

[@LorettaTaylor-o7b]

I really enjoy your episodes cant wait until the finish of your Green house I love the bamboo fence ❤️

[@jorgecandelas4753]

FYI the dispenseries that grow thier own plants give away the used soil which is very high end soil.

[@manfredbiefeld6727]

Your my one, once a week, I tune in and enjoy, your progress and look forward to your endeavors to the final of your dream. Keep up the good work.

[@hotplug56]

Had forgotten how much I missed Kristen's musical interludes.

[@pattykey1254]

You two are doing a real good job the fence is looking good, fantastic job.❤😊

[@thesoundtree]

Number one, KZbin couple❤️

[@dorothygurnz6755]

Loved the car fishing 🎣 🐈‍⬛

[@mongobuilders]

I love the bamboo fence and yaws place looks great i would screen in the deck and make a great kattio keep living the dream good thing u guys arent here in the states were moving into facism and religous dictatorship we will be lucky if we own anything in the very near future. Peace guys 11:52

[@JeffreyWilstone]

Can’t imagine life without kitty cats 🐱 🐈 🐈‍⬛

[@sailingwicked]

6:46 spider iguana is already plotting! Great video as always 👌🏾

[@leongardner2690]

Mother, love you guys👍🏿

[@michaelhicks2599]

beautiful to see it all coming together and working side by side, Motivating each other plus taking time out to reflect.

[@justenjoylife851]

Hey, when she was talking this big Iguana fell off The tree right behind you guys.Did you guys notice it on the video😂

[@anthonygrodecki7968]

Hi the fence is fun functional and what a choice of fabric 😊

[@physina]

To fill raised beds, research Hügelkultur. Will allow you to use tree branches downed during storms. Usually takes about a year to decompose and it is FREE!

[@riverakers]

It is nice to see the both of you working together and sharing to work load. When my wife chips in when I am working on projects makes it so much easier and faster.

[@jwright650]

Morning, looks like the cats are well fed and not hungry 😜

[@doncritzer2798]

Good job as usual Matt....

[@marielandreth2090]

If you’re thinking of free fertilizer turn your chickens loose in the area they do a good job working up the area also.

[@darrenmahabir6510]

More enjoyable fuh sure to see kitty's hv fun well done u guys

[@johnmiglautsch4587]

Those fish looked like bluegills mostly (sunfish). If you're good at filleting, you can get really nice little fish chips. Fried in some oil with salt & pepper - FANTASTIC! Probably not how you ate when trying to make weight. Yes, figure out your spinning reel and then teach your nephew what's what - think of what ridicule he can avoid through life. :)

[@louis220558]

The bamboo wall went great

Your inspireing me, its clear the kittys think you are incapable of doing Anything without them..

[@chipmiller9074]

Looking forward to the garden you can grow alot in small place ❤

[@karenwilliams3882]

For the greenhouse you can use a roll of heavy mil plastic. Use 2" wide strips of bamboo to wrap around the ends of the plastic, then use a staple gun to attach it to the frame of the greenhouse. That's how we did it in Horticulture class at school when our funds were low. ❤😊☀️🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🦎🍉🍍🍅🌶️🥒🥕🥦🌽🥬🫑🍆🫛🧄 Oh, and do some research on installing a vent/fan in your greenhouse 😊❤ Amazon has really nice plastic sheeting

[@dominikachabiniak5663]

loving the content guys. looking forward to the garden maturing

[@robertharris6067]

I have a farm in thailand and we use a lot of bamboo for various structures and mainly chicken and duck sheds around the property,we get 4 to five years use before replacement,the good part is that it is free.I find that termites avoid bamboo mostly .

[@kevinwayne7546]

cool

[@VonBluesman]

As much as it rains in Puerto Rico and all them critters y’all are gathering, raising food, and Dead Dolphin is waiting raring to sail. It reminds of the story about Noah. 👍😎🙏🏼✌️

[@dlloyd6300]

If you guys are gonna homestead propper, you really need to let Matt get a small tractor. They are good for so many things!

[@AJHcampozioutdoors]

Another awesome video guys 😀

[@garyweiss1876]

Matt, it looks like Fat Boy is you buddy now. He looks like a good boy. Liked the video, as always. Thanks

[@jeffemiller1470]

It takes a lot to laugh and a banboo do do to cry! Matt you one tough SOB..jajajaj

[@CLSearles]

❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾👍👍🏠🏡🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🥃🍷❤️❤️❤️great job

[@g_manw5850]

I love the idea of the fence. Not sure if it will stop the iguanas but it might slow them down

[@glennsepelak5113]

I really enjoyed the video. matt fishing playing. with the Kitties.

[@jonathanscott550]

I hope the bamboo works. You've used bamboo when you first moved onto property chicken coops, Goat enclosures and sure it worked for a while, but not a long while so maintenance will definitely be an issue and on going. With all the other projects you've going on this absolutely gorgeous piece of paradise I'm concerned you'll under estimate the workload that's going to be involved with the upkeep. Matt you're good and do your upkeep of the homestead magnificently, Don't burn yourself out. Enjoy both of you and your craziness cheers

[@mytinyretirement]

Oh Lord, those fishing cats!! 😂❤

[@Franko-eg6iu]

Sprinkle red pepper powder around garden. Everything stays out no real harm. My sister use red pepper seed. Not ground to powder. Came up like a green carpet😅

[@abduljaleelalashi1022]

Keep up the good work and the beautiful company of both of you, wish you a happy long healthy wealthy life.

[@nunocarneiro464]

That's a nice fence guys, looks good but you know that does nothing against iguanas don't you ?😂😂

[@johnwulf1035]

Congratulations on The Baby On the Way

[@user-yi4rt7ku3y]

I wonder why you would publicly post that assumption , this could be a very insensitive thing to ask this couple about , I wonder if you might consider taking it down .

[@MichelleRader-t7r]

I dont know why,,but we love watching you guys,,we dont like ztuff on netflix, thanks for just keeping it real❤ Hope your green house solves the igauana problem.

[@mittengrownmedz]

Good morning!!

[@robbypatrick8464]

50 x 20 should be plenty for you to get started with. The fence looks good. Keep up the good work.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Matt, I watched a guy on KZbin build a long fence project with metal post, driven into the ground with a really neat hand operated machine that drove the post in the ground fairly fast. Then he attached some wood boards top & bottom and applied metal sheets/panels. It was freaking great! 🤗 Cost wise I think cheaper than all wooden fence.👍

[@phillockwood8414]

Creating a protected garden space is wise and beneficial. I could write a book about it but the topic is so expansive and somewhat area specific that the best thing to do is collaborate with a local resident who has a reputation as knowledgeable and successful. Seek out that person and ask them to assist you with soil preparation and balance of nutrients. Also ask for advice about keeping the wildlife out.

[@gertpetersson3570]

You two are amazing. 👏👏👏

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

You got the right idea. It’s probably gonna be safer to live someplace else. Homesteaders 👍 Not to mention more sane. Better mental health. Like Jake and nicole.
