Maybe It Can Live Again

In true Ben fashion, he takes a crack at the broken rototiller to see if he can bring it back to life before giving up on it.

I agree if our kids had more access to those skills as it used to be it would be a great benefit for them 👌👌

My granddaughter took welding last year and loves it. She's 16. Never expected that but she's an amazing young lady! She does great in every thing she tries !

[@thisorthat7626]

Good for her for trying something new. The knowledge will always be with her. Life skills are for everyone, IMO.

[@glendaruff125]

Good for her.

[@kathleenschaefer7012]

Suggest she wear a high spf sunscreen.

[@Squick99]

Any chance you can share the minimum equipment needed to help a kid get into welding? When I think of welding equipment I think of 220v welders with giant tanks of argon hanging off the side. But would a couple hundred dollar harbor freight stick welder do the trick? Or will that not let them do anything useful?

[@yvonnebrumbeloe6626]

Buggy is SO STINKING CUTE. Gets cuter all the time, too.

[@christinedehn3257]

Life skills for all. Proper tool usage and maintenance. Basics of; carpentry, plumbing, welding, hydraulics, pneumatics, sewing, knitting, crocheting, weaving, net and basket making and other cordage skills, cooking, laundry, fire extinguishing (extinguisher, salt, baking soda, water, dirt), fire making, first aid and banking. These are all basics that kids used to learn at home, in the "scout" type groups, and at school. Stretched over the 18 years we give them to become adults, exposing our children to these interests is very doable. No one need be an expert, but knowing basics of how things work is important, even if only so that you can tell if someone you hire to do a job is competent or not. IT skills are being taught everywhere these days, but how things work...not so much. You folks are doing a great job.

I’m so thrilled you’re tempting to make a blog every day even if it is for 15 minutes I look forward to watching you guys and once a week or even once every two weeks was not enough. I know sometimes the weather doesn’t permit to go out there and it can be time consuming when you’re doing a project and you have to hold the camera where ever you go. I don’t wanna invade your family’s personal life but a quick recipe or something from you guys is good to see. The Lord has blessed you greatly continue to grow❤️

[@donnacarier264]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FOR DAILY VIDEOS....I JUST LOVE IT. YOUR FAMILY IS AWESOME TO WATCH ...WHEN BABY BIT WAS RUNNING UP HILL AND HER BROTHER TOOK OFF AFTER HER MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD. LOVE FROM LENOIR NC.

[@nataleekelly2496]

So happy to see more of you guys! Don't underestimate what you think is 'random stuff' that's not important or interesting. It can be very valuable to someone else! It was very informative watching you work on the router-tiller and explain things about it, and also how you talked about the fact 'these things aren't taught in school anymore'. You're so right! These ARE valuable skills and while you teach you boys how to weld, you can teach some of us! Even if its just some basics. Your example of 'if you can draw a circle, you can weld', actually made me think it is a possibility for me to learn to weld and sparked a desire in me to learn something that I didn't think was possible until you said that today!!! You have a powerful platform to influence many many people, even me; a middle aged single mum in Perth, Western Australia, the opportunity to learn a new skill, to become a reality. So thank you for ALL that you share. It IS valuable!

[@patriciaherman6499]

Buggy is so pretty looks like her Mama. Nice to see Justin again. Have no fear Ben is here, with fixing up old equipment. Peeps are to cute. Question: how are your fruit trees doing? Blessings to all. 😊🇺🇲

[@kygirl1212]

Ben & Meg, I love your channel. I watch everyone of your video. I have learned that watching every ad and not skipping them means the more money your family makes. At time I rewatch them as much as possible in hopes that helps with more $$$ to your family.

[@gmtigger61]

I am glad that my granddaughter learned how to weld in high school. She just turned 20 in February and last December she started working as a welder at a place where they make custom lowboy trailers. She was the only female working there. She has also been featured in our local newspaper for working on vehicles. I agree that too many kids nowadays don't have life skills that they need. Thank you for sharing your daily life and we enjoy watching.

[@katherinebragg9704]

Ben, you'd be surprised how many people you're inspiring by "just fixing my rototiller" . The most important people y'all are inspiring is your son's. I noticed how quick one of the boys ran after his little sister after she ran up the hill. Think of what a great dad he will one day be? You're also inspiring other young men as well. You're important Ben, and there is no "just". There just is. God bless your family! Keep on keepin on!

I am really enjoying the daily vlogs. Years ago when I was able to get outside and do things I had an acre and a half Gardens. My husband and I did it and canned and put away food it is good to see that your boys are learning real life skills. I am not able to get out anymore but it is fun to watch other Carolinians live through the red clay and to see kids out their foot running around helping out and all the other things you do. Thank you so much!

Good job on fixing the tiller. I've read that the saying, "I'm fixin' to....." originated from early frontier farmers having to repair (fix) their equipment before they could do a planned chore. They didn't have a Home Depot to go buy new equipment. Ben was fixin' to till!! Love your channel!

[@debbiemoore9069]

I like the random stuff. Some days your just popping here or there. You had friends stop bye, one of your sons pitch in to help with the recording, another great skill to learn. And you fixed your tiller that you thought that couldn't be fixed. I call that a good day. Bless ya'll

Suggestion on the gearbox, put a few squirts of grease in it, it want run out like gear oil, yet will slow down on gear and chain wear. You might finish the season while looking for another one. Wished you were closer to Ga. I have a great troy-bilt for sale, I bought new, always garage kept, still a great machine. At 77, I'm finished with tilling, now, slowed way down and in smaller raised beds.

Yes evey child should have some kind of life skill from cooking and everyday things to using a welder and other tools of some sort. Even though my dad was handicap and could not change a battery in a car or take my training wheels off my bike he was there every step of the way explaining how to do it. I hope when your little girl gets up in age that you show her how to do some welding and changing a battery. God bless..

[@thisorthat7626]

@Shelle Brand, your father was a teacher and you probably learned faster because you had to do things he couldn't. So many times people get frustrated with someone learning and "do the job themself". That takes away from the person who is learning. Knowing how to do something and being able to explain to someone else is a skill that we all could use. Blessings.

If I were you I would look into investing a Rear tine Tiller easier to till with and a lot easier on your body as you can walk behind to control the tilling as it has drive wheel and the rear tine to break up the dirt.
