Another Fence Run ready to Install. Our First Chestnuts hit the ground.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Sir, Evan nice to see you Love watching your video homestead beautiful great good job BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@jonathanmullins6786]

I cut a piece of pvc pipe to the length I want my t-post to be out of the ground. Then slide it over the t-post and drive it till it’s even with the top of the pvc pipe. Perfect height every time.

[@dallon507]

Brilliant!

[@mrbilky]

Nice to see the chestnut trees producing been with the channel since you planted them

[@r.l.1891]

Lol, heights of t-posts being different will drive him nuts, but not the overspray he just put on the caps for the pipe... 😄

[@andrewderk8393]

I thought the same thing😂

[@TN-Land-Manager]

I remember watching you planting those first trees. Hard to believe it’s been eight years.

[@michaelgardner800]

Evan, back when American Chestnuts were in abundants all over the eastern half of the country farmers relied primary on the chestnut to feed there hogs and other animals.

[@sandratalbert9578]

Wow that bracketed fence system sure simplified the brace process. 👍👍👍

[@tiffanystoffer7776]

Chestnuts roasted in the fire are awesome! So good!

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@cue881-yo7kz]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... It's going to be Christmas before you know it! Stay safe and God Bless you all!

[@Manoffire260]

Try a Leatherman or Gerber multitool. You’d be amazed how much you can do with one in your pocket or sheath.

[@steveleach7512]

I noticed he was using a Leatherman in the video.

[@csnanny1882]

Evan, over the years you, and Rebecca have worked hard and now you have a beautiful farm. May the Lord continue to bless you.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looking good around there Evan, you got a lot done and maybe out of the dog-house too. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

[@johnsandell4501]

Nice fence and lawnmower fix. Dad's rock👍👍👍

[@Steven-yf7zp]

Enjoy your Dad. I know you do. Every year your Dad and Mom are with you are a great blessing! Good job with the fence.

[@theburnhams2925]

'Mos' specially when they have tractor implements to loan, no? (but I jest, parents are precious....and you can't just go to town to replace 'em, either....)

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Agree totally. My dad is gone and my sister and I often talk about how much we miss him and my mom. We were truly blessed with them.

[@PhyllisGentry-b8n]

The pond in that scene in beginning of video where you were feeding the ducks, reminded me of a painting from Monet! It looked beautiful with the duckweed on it. I know the duckweed is annoying but there for a few seconds it was a very peaceful scene. Thank you for this video today!

[@TheKajunkat]

A tip for post driving. I took a center punch and made a ring of indentations around the outside of the post driver where the top of the post will be. That way I can measure without taking off the driver.

[@mrstacyj9496]

Goats? Instead of mechanical mower. Just doing some “Monday morning” farming from the coach. Best wishes in your endeavors. My aunt and uncle (Merle & Martha Harrel) started the Chestnut Festival in St Francisville, Illinois around 1974? 1975? (not sure it's still celebrated). Big chestnut fan. Prayers and positive vibes.

[@bay9876]

Rule of thumb. Happy wife, happy life. Keep her happy will pay happy dividens plus a well kept lawn and all it took was a new carberator.

[@johnraisbeck9756]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire! Delicious! Good work

[@Ima-mb9ki]

Again, love the content. Sounds like you and your father have a wonderful relationship. Keep making memories

[@jackiebinns6205]

Damn your lucky you didn't get racked when that pipe flew up 😮 lol never a dull moment😂❤

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Don't worry Evan, trips to the Doghouse are every man's destiny! it's a given. even when we don't do anything wrong. it's mandatory that they provoke you into going there..thanks for sharing another great video! God speed. ECF

[@Chris-jh3tg]

Good thing you got to the chestnuts before the deer! I love chestnuts, they're delicious.

[@elizabethlenning8723]

The best life is the Blessed Life! You are truly Blessed ❤

[@jamesjonatzke7353]

Each time you finish mowing with your equipment, use a leaf blower to clean off all the accumulated grass clippings. It only takes a few minutes.

[@markrice3502]

nice to see the fence comming along for you it will make it easyer to change pastures for the animals too thank you for shareing with us really do enjoy your videos as well

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Awesome , thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️

[@joerodrigues3816]

It’s so great to see you guys hope you’re all doing well and staying safe and healthy and your family and friends mate. Can I ask where you got that spray gun from pls but remember that I live in Great Britain England many thanks mate. I must say that you are a Man after my my heart YES that would get me too mate…

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Fence is looking good Evan

[@jerrycopley9325]

An elderly lady at our church used to make my dad chestnut pies :) she made them along same style as a pecan pie he loved them pies :) maybe Rebekah will make you one some cold snowy day this winter :) thanks for bringing us along and sharing your life with us

[@laucp2308]

We love chestnuts in Spain. They are a perfect autumn treat! In many regions, you'll find vendors roasting them on street corners, filling the air with that deliciously smoky scent. Roast them with a sprinkle of salt.

[@Frombie_01]

Chestnuts are delicious.

[@mikeevans1751]

Congratulations on finally getting some chestnuts!

[@ejonis]

Chestnuts, whether you make them boiled or grilled, they are delicious, you will love them.

[@JB-mf1zc]

You're a hero today!!! God Bless!!!!!!!!

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Evan enjoyed your video have a great day.

[@rickwinterboer6061]

You can use the post pounder to lift the post. Place the pounder at an angle with the hole up next to the post. Manipulate the post and pounder to get the lip of the pounder on a post notch. A steeper angle is better. Then pull the post to "lift" against the pounder. Im sure there are KZbin vids that show this in action.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Evan and Rebekah

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Have been following your fence build. I looks smart, strong, economical, and long lasting. Growing up we had chestnut trees around our home on 2-acres. In the Fall my dad would take the family trout fishing on a nearby river. His truck had a v-8 engine. He'd place a dozen+ chestnuts on the engine manifold. By the time we got to the river (think cold weather) the chestnuts would be warm and ready to eat. Fishing wasn't always very good but the chestnuts never let us down. 👍👍👍

[@russ1878]

Roast chestnuts, sprouts and bacon is a absolute winning combination.

[@ResourcefulLivingHomestead]

Recently subbed from another channel shout out. We are already starting to see walnuts hitting the ground. It’s been a few years since we had walnuts, but this year is the year. Thanks for sharing

[@leonardlorriman7095]

Roast chestnuts are lovely, once you try them you will want more. Grat video, thank you.

[@paulsanders1373]

I like those pole clamps sure made that easy to install!

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤ VIDEO ❤❤ Always very informative ❤

[@JimSpence-d3k]

Evan, thanks for sharing your story. I would much rather watch you and Rebecca build your farm than anything on network TV. I would like to know if all the open feed containers for the animals creates a rodent problem? Keep up your great work.

[@jeanniearnold7906]

Love watching you build fences.

[@SN-tx9yh]

Roasted chestnuts are delicious, and I bet you will have a great source of pig feed when the trees mature

[@corydriver7634]

You have become the fence guru.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Evan! That fence is going to last forever. It is very well planned and constructed. Hello to Rebekah.

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

The Italians have been using chestnut flour for centuries for their baking.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

AGREE 👍👍

[@daleredmond6449]

The doghouse is not always a bad thing, it keeps the making up portion of the marriage more enjoyable js

[@tarheelgarden]

you can boil chestnuts, makes them easy to open and delicious.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Evans you might want to cut a little slit, about 1/2 inch parallel between top and bottom, cuz they have a tendency to pop/explode....the hard shell holds the moisture in. That's what we do especially on the store bought since they're a lot larger.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Evan, it always amazes me when I watch people using inches and feet 👣 I just think God on 14 February 1966. We went to the decimal currency 100 and cents makes a dollar $100 makes $100 and centimetres millimetres and metres all a division of 10 so simple from Australia, the Thunder down under and we are on the big island

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@michaelmiller8914]

Regarding the mower, in my experience working on mowers, choking the engine to make it run is usually a carburetor issue. There is a chance that debris has gotten in the bowl, and clogging the jets is why it was intermittent. That looked like a kawasaki engine based on the air cleaner. If the problem returns, I would pull the carb and clean it. Side note.... I only run premium gas in my small engines to prevent the chalking in the carb bowl that occurs when they sit unused.

[@williamguthrey5009]

No ethonal gas

[@jahn9960]

Evan, have you thought about a tractor steering knob for your tractors and polaris. I was going to suggest that when you were plowing your field with all the turn arounds. Glad the chestnuts are falling, been a few years of watch your hard work pay off on them.

[@chris3m98]

Evan, check out the ODWM video that Mike did on his new Cub Cadet mower. Softer & safer, plus it has a steering wheel. Melissa's shoulders love it.

[@stephencoppernoll4223]

You can check the mower gas for watering the fuel if it acts up again, pretty common for water in the fuel in the Midwest

[@jackg.1759]

I hope you are finding some time to fish and relax. Remember the days when you got to do that?

[@AfterTheRains]

You should save some chestnuts to make pork and chestnut stuffing for one of your many turkeys. I have that with Christmas turkey every year and it’s savoury, nutty and amazing.

[@markpriddy1]

Nice camera work.

[@daleh645]

🎶Chestnuts roasting on an open fire🎶 🌰🔥⛄️🎅🏻👍

[@eagle2019]

I love roasted chestnuts!! Here in NYC every Christmas the streets of NY are filled with the smell of chestnuts roasting by street corner vendors. I've heard of people making stuffing with chestnuts. When you go to roast them make sure you make a slit on the edge to keep them from popping open in the oven. 350 degrees for 20 minutes or more depending on size.

[@rasputin214]

my baba had one tree in her yard and theyv were delicious , we boiled them in water for a long time then ate them, she would also grind themk into flour and make bread with them. wonderful

[@ianmurray9201]

Thanks Evan,I was surprised you didn't hear me call out that the pipe wasn't in the notch when you were going to cut it 😀

[@brandonweaver5799]

We have 2 old chestnut trees in our yard that my grandpa planted 50-60 years ago. Definitely deer candy - my cameras pick up deer that stay in our yard all night. My dad likes to eat them raw. Just wish my whole yard wasn’t burrs 😅

[@mmielcarek3046]

Under a spreading chestnut-tree ⁠The village smithy stands;

[@kennethmorgan6591]

Chestnuts a good to eat. Save them for your own consumption and feed your pigs acorns you can collect in your woodlots. Only a suggestion but acorns are harder to make fit for human consumption.

[@shanebiggers8437]

Post driver will pull the post up if you sit it on the ground push post over little and catch the nipple and pull back to you and it come up just slide down on nipples when you need to readjust. Love the look of the pipe and you taking time to paint it all makes it look even better!

[@kylehenley5024]

I have had the same problem with my zero turn!!!! I’ll be ordering a fuel pump tomorrow!!!! I bet that is my problem too

[@LorrieLewis-l8y]

The farm buggy has been one of the best tools for you! Love the channel !

[@georgew.5639]

When one of those chestnut trees get large, you’ll have hundreds of chestnuts. We had a chestnut tree at the house I grew up at. It got very big. And quite messy too. We have chestnut and black walnut trees at the golf course that I work at.

[@LorrieLewis-l8y]

The addition of the farm buggy has been one of the tools for you! Farm is looking awesome!

[@mariesheppard3750]

Happy Wife happy life, like the jointer for your steel post, works great,

[@kathycrook1913]

Good afternoon guys!

[@michellegerrard6623]

That lawnmower is like a fairground ride 😂😂😂

[@DanaFoster-vl5os]

Great job

[@blackgunsandgardens]

Awesome…thanks for sharing… Salute!🍃🍃😎

[@Oldmantomtom]

You can pull the post with your post driver, angle the post and then let the driver catch one of the cleats and it’ll pull the post upward..

[@johnbeam-d3v]

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@allanulen3809]

There is a way to do chestnuts in your microwave. I know that you need to pierce the shell to let the moisture out. My old brain doesn't remeber how long you need to do them for. The ones i had done were really good.

[@charmainevandiford6622]

I have a 16 year old Toro Time cutter 50 inch cut and I have done some work but it has been a solid Lawn mower for me. I would not be scared to buy another Toro. I was having some trouble earlier in the year but new battery and rewired it and now it’s cutting fine.

[@harveystephens6115]

Enjoyed!

[@Nova-m8d]

Plant persimmon trees to attract deer. Plant 3 trees in each hole. Let the trees grow for 3 years and then cut down the 2 slowest growing trees. This way odds are a tree will survive where you want it to be planted. The trees are low-cost or free If you propagate your own from local trees.

[@stevenwimmer5002]

Great info... I did see an inline fuel filter on the Toro, you might want to replace the filter too...

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Well, you don't want to be in the dog house, been there a lot myself so I hear what you're saying. The fence is getting there, it will be nice when you get it done. Right when you started to put the back shield on the Toro, I was saying out loud, "Evan, you've got it upside down". 🙃Anyways, I enjoyed watching, I hope you have a nice evening!

[@eckythump6429]

Maybe check the fuel tank vent on the zero turn, that’s another common cause of intermittent fuel starvation issues.

[@Sleekfalcon]

When i was young my brother hit one of those spike balls with a ball bat and it hit me in the forehead splitting my eyebrow open. I had to get stitches. My grandma had chestnuts and pear trees in her front yard. I lost count the times I poked my fingers and hands trying to handle them as a kid lol.

[@xtender5]

Marroni are awesome. Especially in the winter on a cold evening. 😄 One yarn I got from my farmer parents in law is that walnut trees keep mosquitos and flies away. No idea if that's true or not.

[@JpPJ-p8e]

Hi from New Zealand. You've had a few "wins" ... brace capping off ceremony, lawnmower & chestnuts.

[@TimothyRadachi]

In my opinion chestnuts are far too valuable to be fed to swine or deer! You will get more bang for your buck by selling them around the holidays. Great in chestnut stuffing in that Thanksgiving turkey. If you want to feed hogs and deer gather up as many acorns as you can, they are free if you have access to oak trees. Hopefully chestnut blight is not prevalent in your neck of the woods.

[@billt881]

If you havent already tried them, the milwaukee extreme metal/thick metal band saw blades are awesome for cutting pipe like that. I use them everyday

[@raymondmartin8852]

Speaking from experience after you get done running your field fence, it's a good idea to run a strand of barb wire above the field fence so the cattle don't ruin your fence if they press down on it with their head

[@nohphd]

I was just wondering how your chestnuts were doing and this video drops!😊

[@stephenmulholland4868]

Evan hope you can film the upcoming deer hunt

[@richardduggar4665]

I have harvested 55 so far of my chestnuts trees

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

It was the carburetor on my lawnmower! Thanks Evan! Love chestnuts! Really good

[@PaulChauvin]

My zero turn had a very similar problem. After changing several parts I finally found a dead bee in the fuel tank. Apparently it would get stuck in the pick up tube now and then.

[@jonathanmcelravy8608]

Probably not your problem, but I change the fuel filter on all my equipment when I get the covers off. A quick look at the old filter will tell you if you are picking up crud from the tank. If it picks up a lot, you need to flush your tank. But, what do I know.
