CAUGHT OFF GUARD "NOT CLICK BAIT" tiny house, homesteading, off-grid, cabin build DIY HOW TO sawmill

[@jodymerkel4940]

Eclipse is only going to protect herself she’s not a LGD ,she is a sled dog,I raised huskies,Samoyed’s, they took me to school as a child they protect themselves not other animals. David I’m only suggesting you get a LGD for your livestock and let Eclipse be a pet she’s going to get hurt and those other animals don’t stand a chance especially when they start to deliver their babies it will bring the predators from far. This isn’t meant to be a nasty comment at all this old Canadian Nana is just giving a little experience and knowledge 🇨🇦❤️

[@CarolSchreffler]

Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Somebody’s going be very very sorry that they moved the goats and eclipse to this location.

[@sandratweedale2579]

What in the world are you thinking. So sad and I feel so sorry for Eclipse, he went from being so important now he’s stuck with the goats 24/7. A real shame. Wonder how long they’ll be safe

[@KenJ-61]

Dave doesn't think or he would have ditched the chicken fence for something stronger. The goats will still escape.

[@waynegauthier155]

There is no doubt in my military mind that the goats will escape. I give them 48 hours.😁😜🤪

[@marychristopherson738]

Why in my heart do I have a bad feeling about this move for the goats and Eclipse. Especially with Mike spotting a big cat in area. Please David re think this move😢

[@brucecoron928]

I have about 10 acres of pasture fenced in and I'm in the U.P. Where I have mountain lions around, tons of wolves, coyotes and BIG BLACK BEARS, I'm talking 200+-300+ pound bears they get big up here in big snow country and I have had horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs, ECT and never had a problem with anything messing with them.... They get lit up by that electric fence and they don't come by it again, just need to watch for sign.... Also predators will come right up in the yard and get livestock opportunities for free meals do not slow them down!!!! It's all part of farming!!!!

[@floater1063]

To the people saying it wasnt anything for that tresspasser, (NEWSFLASH) It was a big deal especially if there are children on property. Predators come in all ages. A father or uncle and husbands need to stand ground like Michael did. If someone is sniffing for something, they will sense weakness. Thats how they work. Never trust anyone when little kids are involved, not even women. Uncle D should of scolded him also. He needs to know to not bring himself up in there again. Thats seriously a danger for any kid.

[@ellbow7287]

💯 correct. Give an inch and they take a mile. There is noway he couldn't have known he was on private property. There's a waste bin at the entrance to the drive and a sign to DD5. It's obviously a well used road gravel driveway.

[@anibor_Whack_A_Troll]

@@floater1063 Mike did great, totally agree!

[@anitaphillips2613]

Will the way I look at it how long have you owned your property Sir. If they say so many years will sir you should know where your line is you are on private property. Because honestly if he hasn't been back on his property for awhile and was walking the fence line it is easy to get on someone else's before you know it.But when he said he was your neighbor he may not of been lying his just one that has 70 acers between y'all. And David didn't need to say anything because Mike took care of it. Just be very vigilant.

[@floater1063]

​@anitaphillips2613 Honestly, nobody should be leaving their property unattended these days. Theres some bad things going on in America right now.

[@the_voice_of_reason]

@@anibor_Whack_A_Trollyes he did. I was very surprised to hear him be very stern in his voice and strong stance. I was surprised David didn’t have strong response to having an obvious trespasser on his property. My concern is for Mike’s kids riding back and forth to David’s place. It a huge wake up call to stay vigilant. Where did he park his vehicle, he couldn’t just materialise without sound and yet he did. Good job Mike.

[@debbikarrick9851]

Hope Eclipse and the goats stay safe.

[@carolynklenk8467]

Yes David they all still need some shade especially Eclipse !! Goats are not dumb farm animals their telling you that they are bored with nothing to jump up on and frolic!! And their going to find other things to do and the display of poop!! Well I think you might know what their telling you by doing that! ❤ Sending blessings Mamma Carolyn

[@bpatton3671]

C'mon, minor item. The side of the stand Mike was carrying, put a 2 x 4" across where the lower crossbraces attach. Easier to lift from a low position than a chest high one. You had the easy side with the ladder rungs a several choices for grip points. Easy fix! Looks good! Trespassers story a little shady! Stay alert, keep the cameras rolling! ❤❤

[@rosabayhan810]

I hope you put up cameras because what about the big cat I’m afraid for your dog and goats. Property looks great

[@sassycat9871]

I don’t know a lot about farming and homesteading but couldn’t the wild cats or coyotes jump those fences?

[@waynegauthier155]

Do once and done. I fenced in 4 acres with Red Top fence, granted it wasn't easy but my goats never got out. Rail road cross ties every 100 feet, and 6' tall T posts every 10 feet. It took a week or two to get it done, but it was worth every penny. Cry once and done. No electric fence was ever used, fence was up for 15 years and never had a problem. Goats and about 3 acres of forest and one acre of fresh grass.

[@wg146]

Best idea ! Keep them safe and you won’t be sorry.

[@rosabayhan810]

Please you might think of getting a donkey to help Eclipse guard

[@floater1063]

Looks like folks scolding you for your goat habitat. You should probably listen. Some people know some things and some people dont know everything.

[@mcmartinez0x]

Hey David, they don’t have any shelter from the sun. I think we should sit down and think about this. I think I would’ve put the pin closer to the trees inward a little bit so they could go have a little space under the trees for shade. I hope I am wrong so good luck.

[@OMGaNEWBIE]

David said that he is going to be rotating the pen throughout the pasture.

[@donnavickery9623]

Wild animals are going to attack your goats. They are too far from the house. They need a permanent pen and a permanent shelter near the house to go to at night so that they are safe.

Really people, David has already said he is putting trail cams up to keep an eye on what predators are coming around the goats. And yes he also has a shelter out there for them. Even though Eclipse is not an Lgd dog , just having her in the pen with the goats would still give them some protection when she starts barking, which will also alert David. Honestly, listen to what he is saying 🙄🙄 . Forgot to say hi David and Mike, love your channel. The mountain looks beautiful 😊

[@jacjak5961]

If the field needs clearing, buy some sheep or other grassers, goats are foragers they like bushes, trees & climbing on things. I fear for their safety where they are now placed, really hope they stay safe. Eclipse is a working sledge pulling dog breed not a LGD that is breed to guard animals, she needs to work pulling things or she will become very bored, that is why she is always so excited when she see's someone because she needs attention, you may walk her every morning but I promise that is not enough for her breed.

[@jacquelinewells7575]

Yea I hate seeing her being put way out there too. I wished she got more time spent with humans. I think that’s why she’s a little on the hyper side. When she does get taken out every once in a while she gets overly excited because she’s so happy to get some attention. I’ll be glad when David puts in the permanent fence in the backyard so she can be let loose in there. Maybe by then he will build the goats a permanent pen as well. That way he’ll never have to worry about them. As well as a permanent shelter as well so they’ll be safe at night and be more warm in the winter. Crossing my fingers they’re gonna be safe out there. Especially with David being gone. Maybe when he gets back he can build them some things to play on.

[@steveb6665]

milkman Eclipse has ZERO quality of life for that breed of Dog, do her a favor and let her go to a better life. that poor Dog deserves more of a life than being penned up or on a chain, do the right thing and give her a better life becuase you are not being a responsible dog owner.
