I always end up breaking something.... Demolishing old fence line with the tractor.

[@HeyULikeApples]

Evan, This is your property, your equipment, your time, your effort, and your KZbin channel. "If they have nothing nice to say, Say nothing at all" Much respect and appreciation to you and your wife. Tired of seeing all the unsolicited advise❣

[@danbentsen]

He would be smart to not only listen to just cheer leaders, he might get an unpolished comment that could really help him. At the end of day its his nickle and he can throw the comment in garbage can if he doesn't think it will help him.

[@spudth]

With the youtube algorithm that encourages engagement even a comment such as " When I damage my equipment I go into my wife's garden, bury myself to my neck and pretend to be a turnip while I figure out how to make things better" adds value to his channel.

[@danbentsen]

@@waynew237 How would you softly coach some one up so he wont break equipment or hurt himself. Saw I got 5 thumbs up on my reply how bout you???

[@spudth]

@@waynew237 A suggestion is : "Try to keep a close eye on the equipment behind you. Bush Hog, Tedder, rake, mower, baler. Troubles get worse in the blink of an eye, much less not looking at all" but youtube cheerleaders will gut you over it. I've tore up my share of equipment in my lifetime.

[@danbentsen]

@@spudth Thats not a bad way to do it, but is it an idea to help him get better. I have been busy on a better than a century Farm, In our family& you have to be a master of many trades to get any thing done. Thanks for your back & fourth w/me.

[@jeromemercurio5407]

your honesty betrays you because you have integrity, which in today's world is !in very short supply! I always enjoy your videos because you are a hard working country kid with no off button, feeling that if a job is worth your time and effort, it's worth doing right! Keep it up, you are elevating my youtube entertainment time!

[@biggamestalker1]

Keep at it. Remember if you’re not breaking stuff you’re not making stuff. “It happens”!!!

[@rayeddy528]

The only person that doesn't make mistakes is a person that doesn't do anything !!! Stay safe Evan and God bless you and Rebecca !!! In Jesus Name !!!! Eddy

[@teenagefarmer]

Amen to that

[@marilynhemingway5219]

Double Amen to that also.

[@spudth]

This is true Eddy, but the goal is to not make mistakes (to learn from) and have more time for, say, finishing inside your shop.

[@DisabledUKPrepper]

Well said.

[@Tonetwisters]

Amen to all that!!

[@2001joefox]

I always appreciate your honesty and transparency when working. Too many people would cover up or try to hide their mistakes. You both have made SO much progress.

[@michaelgardner800]

Evan do not worry about what other people think or say, no one is ever perfect. Just be safe with whatever you do, cleaning up someone else's mess is never fun. Great job so far.

[@kenneysheppard7763]

I can’t imagine pointing out what someone did wrong if I don’t have helpful advice. Especially someone who’s doing this for our entertainment. I want to thank you and your wife for the content.

[@henrymorgan3982]

That tractor is worth its weight in gold for that job! Can't wait for the "treasure" cleanup!

[@ronharrison1776]

Your tractor is sure a big help around the farm .

[@timandkimwardell1378]

This is what I love most about this channel. The willingness to be transparent. I learn something from every one of your post. Thank you!!

[@juliannedispain1637]

Cleaning out a fence row is one of the most rewarding of farm cleanup chores.

[@jeffprice6158]

Love all the videos. ❤

[@51rwyatt]

Breaking stuff is just working and living ... We're lucky if half our time is not spent fixing stuff we broke. Homesteading is like a dance of forward progress and fixing errors. End result is a beautiful cared-for home/property.

[@wgoconnor33]

Evan , you do more in a week then most of us do in a year. I really enjoy your videos.

[@razorkane5011]

You don't owe anyone an explanation.. keep doing what you're doing we appreciate your openness and honesty.

[@annietan9582]

Well said 👏👏👏

[@rickeyman2215]

No judgement here Evan, you always put your best foot forward! I enjoy and learn from you and Rebecca, keep up the great work!

[@kieckinator]

Don’t let the haters get you down little buddy I love watching your videos whenever I work on the farm with my uncle. I always tear stuff up feel like a total idiot. Every time it makes it feel natural.

[@gregj2647]

We all learn from our mistakes. You didn’t even have to include the video of the gate but you did. More power to you! Keep on charging!

[@coaltrain18000]

Evan, I watch your channel because I want to learn something new. I don’t watch your channel hoping you screw up so I can call you out on it. I have a 494 TYM with a grapple. The tractor is a beast. Keep it up!

[@ChicagoDoItYourself]

I wait FOREVER for you videos to come, then they’re over in a flash, I’m so addicted !!!

[@hungryblackbear]

Evan, you are not careless! You just try often to do too much in too little time. For anyone, you are working two full time jobs, and you are exceptionally good at your jobs!

[@dickwright2134]

Reading your caption, "I always break something", I thought you would have run that brush hog over fence wire and got it all tangled up. I was wrong. The other thing, I was going to mention why don't you just dig a hole and bury the trash you will be dealing with. I'm happy you mentioned why you will not. I didn't consider violations of law captured on camera. I look forward to all your video's, have not missed one! Make some longer ones!

[@robertharcourt7650]

Don't worry about the haters Evan, you are courageous enough to show al of a project including your bad luck at time ;)

[@bohhica1]

Evin, everything is going well, great videos and awesome music, keep them coming!!👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ruthkent7190]

Life in full bloom is messy & beautifully amazing. Thank you so much for demonstrating " all things are possible for those who believe." Adelante con gusto!

[@sherry2836]

I love watching your fence line clean-up series. Looking forward to the junk pile video! You didn't have to Include the broken fence but doing so, your video title and your comment about it was a great way to solicit more views and comments! 😉 Very smart!

[@rogerbecker8129]

as long as no one got hurt so its a great day . easy fix for you ,with your talents.

[@lastoeck]

Those Negative Nellies can all go jump in a lake. You and Rebekah are doing a fantastic job with both the homestead and your channel.

[@BryanPAllen]

Evan don’t worry about the trolls. Just keep trucking and learning. You are doing a great job cleaning up this property. Mistakes will happen.

[@ronaldclemons5520]

Evan I like watching you guys because y’all are honest, and tell the truth. You don’t cover up stuff, because you show the good and the bad. Keep up the good work, and yes things are going to break. At least you know how to fix it, and sometimes even make it better. Blessings🙂

[@bobcruse512]

A fellow by the name of Murphy once said, " if anything can go wrong, it will". Old Murf was not known as a motivational speaker but he was spot on about the pitfalls that humans encounter.

[@619DioFan]

Anyone who says they never have an " accident " on a country property is lying, I am 2 and a half years into the clean up of the place I bought, 7 - 20 yards dumpsters worth of crap. dozens of old tires ( more to go ) , thousands of pounds of scrap metal with more to go. it never ends.

[@duaneklein4924]

I wished I never made a mistake! Crap happens! What I love about your videos we see the good, bad and everything in between! Real life! Sometimes all you see is perfection because of video editing! Thanks for being honest and hard working. Be safe and God Bless to you and Rebecca!

[@kevincameron8437]

The fen line is looking good. And don’t beat yourself up too much about the gate…..stuff happens on the farm and it’s still usable Repair and farm on!

[@terrypotter4779]

Agree with Kevin, anyone who comments that you aren't paying attention have never done this kind of work. Things happen move on and a good learning moment figuring out how to repair it

[@danriceman7533]

Don't let those keyboard commandos bug you Evan. Mistakes happen. Looks like the area cleaned up well.

[@MrTBALLS]

Looking good Evan. If I was you I would clean up on both sides of the junk pile and then burn it first so you can see what's in there and don't ruin a tire or tires on your tractor.

[@danielleflease8680]

Fence line looks good

[@luby1234]

TYM 65 HP,GREAT TRACTOR!!

[@teenagefarmer]

Yes sir, it's starting to look good. Keep up the good work.

[@JosePerez-fm6km]

Even, you are doing a great job and you have made great progress on the property. There is always someone that thinks that they can do it better. Keep up the good work.

[@EC4400]

Evan, you have accomplished so much. Let's heat it for the TYM. Those grapples are a great help.

[@candyedwards1131]

Don't beat yourself up. If u don't break something or make a mistake their lying. Keep up the good work

[@chuckhorner3758]

Evan I think you are doing an amazing job improving your property incrementally. Equipment gets broken, like in all types of business there is a cost of doing business. Just ignore the Boo Birds. It's not them you are trying to improve your property. I owned 40 acres with about 18 cows and calves and a haying operation. If every mistake I made was critiqued by the masses I would come off as a bumbling fool, but it was MY property I was trying to improve.

[@franklandry5864]

Evan, people that dont mess things up, dont do work. No one is perfect!

[@gunggerdin1]

You admitted you made a mistake. End of. You could have said nothing. You honestly admitted what you had done. Bravo. Keep making the videos, love em.

[@johnbichell8023]

Ignore all those negative trolls. Thanks for your interesting content.

[@canuckyank82]

I would have already ceased the engine. The brush hog would be trash and the grapple would be scrap. I would have punctured at least two tires. You are very careful and very thoughtful about your use of your machinery. Your attitude is always positive. Thanks for an enjoyable video!

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Really admire your work ethic. Always do awesome work😊😊😊

[@stevengunter2843]

Don’t worry about what people say about what you are doing it’s your time and your money!! Looks good to me !!

[@deanbacon8245]

Evan , jealousy by others is the root cause of such comments , I admire you two on working the place and doing all that you do , take care and God Bless !

[@franciscolancaster-jonesc.8623]

It only means one thing. You are a hard worker man, not a man who spends his time sitting on his couch watching videos and criticizing. Congratulations and keep up the hard work.

[@stefflus08]

Hey, I'm usually the first to criticize someone, but I don't feel the need with you. You obviously want to do things well, and you are so open to suggestions it's a joy. So you are a much better teacher yourself than I could be in a comment.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

You and Rebekah are amazing people! God bless you!

[@DD-Hawklife]

Experience doesn't always come from doing things right the first time. Love the channel.

[@luketippey8664]

Great job looks great

[@Bex-rg8pj]

I don’t think you are careless! You always check for safety. Those who say things like that are probably envious of both of your dreams and hard work to attain them! ❤

[@robf2251]

Just shows your human like the rest of us. Thanks for the videos

[@skrtskit1521]

Good progress on your project list. 💖💖🎶🎶

[@gordonvess2900]

Stuff happens. Keep going brother, your shows great!

[@pennynealeigh6557]

It's a work in progress, you learn as you go. Things like the sweep radius of the various types of equipment combinations are apt to be some what trial and error. The place is coming along nicely. Live and learn! Great progress.

[@beladejager907]

It’s okay Evan, you only break stuff so that you have more things to fix😅😅😅

[@edsecorr7812]

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

[@donsinclair9594]

Good for you for calling a spade a spade!

[@salmonhunter7414]

The Fence line is looking really nice.

[@cjandjoannegodkin3787]

I feel your pain my friend. When I read the title, I was worried you broke the brush hog on old fencing. Lol

[@fernandoontiveros2676]

Listen, don't worry about what other people say. Keep up the good work, and stay safe.

[@kingkong7617]

Evan, don'r worry about people's comments when you break something. Everybody breaks something, even those that make those comments, so don't worry. You do good work and you are doing what you want to do, so keep up the good work.

[@silkedavid8876]

One would think the steel is stronger than wood, but ...no! Amazing how tough a little tree can be.

[@carolmauck5159]

ray eddy said it all no one is perfect

[@stevedonofrio7800]

Hi Evan, you’re doing a great job. Stay focused and positive no matter what! No more negative talk. There is a reason things happen, all good.

[@jimbucher1049]

Great Job...Keep up the good work...Take Care !!!

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

You are very organized and careful.

[@mikeirwin3145]

Evan, Ray Eddy nailed it. Those who criticize don't have a farm to maintain. I'm out there nearly every day and it's very rare that I don't break something. A good day for me is when I don't break something that's going to cost me a lot of money to fix.

[@csnanny1882]

I have said many times, that place belongs to you and Rebecca. You can do anything you want to with it. So don’t worry about what people say.That place is looking more beautiful all the time. God bless you and Your beautiful Rebecca.

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

That's okay it happens to everybody May God bless you all

[@cajunnathan4586]

You live & learn on the farm. Your doing a GREAT JOB! Keep up the Good Work!

[@cgjamma]

Looks Good! Keep working at it!

[@ronaldlee2376]

Congrats. on reaching 120 K subs. Remember it doesn't break......parked in the barn..................unless you back into it or drop something on top of it. Then it's a repair project for another day, when the temper cools down.

[@valeriedevereux5912]

I think you are still doing a great job. I love how you want your property to be clean and neat. That is how I like my property as well.

[@michellegerrard6623]

That brush hog is a mean piece of kit!

[@sandratalbert9578]

Yeh you do at times “ break” equipment etc while doing necessary work. But you do the job done and can repair most “broken” things so it is a good end result. Keep on proving the interesting videos. Continue to staying safe. And continued best wishes for you and Rebekah as you develop your beautiful homestead. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@cathywatson1420]

Everybody can make mistakes so there you go. I enjoy watching you doing farm work. I was raised on a farm we kids had to work and we worked hard.

[@robineggblue-bp3rq]

Its satisfying to see all that mess being cleaned up. Seriously, youtube creators need someone else to delete negative comments. It would make your experience so much better. Maybe more creators wouldn't be quitting.

[@bulldog6925]

Evan, the work you do today is so you have something to work on tomorrow. The work you do tomorrow is so you have something to work on the next day. So runs the days of a farmer.

[@Hinio111]

Making great progress on this fence row Evan! Let the haters hate, their views, clicks and comments only help your stats. ;)

[@michelehumann811]

Evan you're doing an AWESOME job not worry about the haters, they have nothing better to do with their sorry lives

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Evan you did a great job get all the old fencing and post's out! God bless you and Rebecca!

[@MySqueakyfoot]

Evan, I've been in construction for over 45 years. Accepting, and correcting mistakes is all part of the challenge. I've learned that everyone, including myself turns into an a***ole every day for about 10 minutes. That goes for the best of them, and Im proud to have worked with the best. Know when the 10 minutes is going to happenonly means that you've been doing it too long. So fix the gate, bend the grapple back into shape, touch up the scratches, and forget about it. Your doing a fine job on the farm. Critic's should be reminded that this is in addition to your full-time job, and that makes you awesome.

[@tonyparris5278]

Evan, just be glad your truck was far enough back the gate didn't get it. Also if TYM will allow you I would personally beaf up your grill guard with some expanded metal to slow down anything going thru your grill and or radiator. I personally have a grapple and a separate post tree puller attachment and let's just say I need to replace the expanded metal. But also on the burying material I have a neighbor that had some material buried on his property and he is always complaining about sink holes in that area after stuff rotts and settles.

[@ericmcrae7758]

The fence line is coming along great. It sucks that you have to clean up some one eles trash pile but you know its the right thing to do and you are helping your land. Give it a year and you will br so proud of your efforts.

[@2wwwilly]

Mistakes are meant to be made in order to progress perfectly ..this is like a rehearsal to perfection 🥰 💞

[@ericfluty3257]

My Grandpa always said if you don’t break something while you’re working, then you’re probably not working very hard! The farm looks great!! Keep up the good work!! Love the channel!

[@kristinastoltzfus6032]

My husband and I watch all your videos and love them! I am concerned about the cleaning out hedge rows as where we live nobody has any hedgerows and we don't hear Bobwhites, Whipperwills or see Pheasants anymore. There is no place for them to hide or raise young when everything is cleaned up. We are actually planting hedgerows with native plants thus year for that reason as our neighbors ripped ours out. Replanting on our side of the property not on the line. We also try to keep everything cleared below powerlines. Thanks for great videos!!

[@richardduggar4665]

From what I see, you have very good followers, and I enjoy your content and the positive feedback. Until the next one.

[@eagle2019]

Evan, that's all you broke??? I would have most likely hit one of the power lines with the grapple!!! Forget about the keyboard a$$holes!! They've never accomplished anything in their lives!! You and Rebecca are great! I have learned so much from you guys. I'm hoping to buy 100+ acres in North Carolina and build my own homestead. I love your log home and will be building one on my property. Stay safe and thanks for all the great content!!

[@imhere9745Elaine]

God grant you no grater loss than that !my grandfather use to say that's a small thing on a big Ship ,l like that you are smiling at your mistake!🇨🇦♥️♥️

[@jefffortney4261]

Evan, My sons and I always say it isn't one of our projects unless one of us gets hurt doing it. (Never bad, mind you. Just cuts and bruises.) Things happen, keep rolling with the punches. Love watching what you and Rebekah are doing to make your dreams come true.

[@pyroman6000]

If a log doesn't roll and blast my shin, or I don't touch dirt with my chainsaw, was I actually cutting wood- and getting anything done? lol. The saw was cutting like a boss, yesterday, and I was just ripping through stuff. Until I got to cutting a cookie off the end of a big Ash log. It moved, just as I was nearly through- and dropped my bar into the dirt for the barest second. Brand new chain- went from factory sharp to having a hard time trimming small branch stubs in an instant... PHOOEY!!! Oh well. I'd already cut all the wood my pickup would hold, anyway. (and all my back could stand to lift into the truck) I was just enjoying the cutting at that point. Bonus: both shins emerged unscathed!

[@shanebiggers8437]

Your doing great man don’t let the people get to you. Don’t forget to check around the gear box shaft on top of the blades for wire.

[@d.j.robinson9424]

If 2 or more things didn't break Daily, I would think something is very wrong. Now you can play with the welder.💛👍👍

[@randallshanks82]

Don't worry about negative comments tearing up things is part of progress I admire you for leaving it in alot of people would try to hide it just shows your honesty and being real God bless and continued success.
