Pond Rebuild Starts Now!

[@shmuck530]

Heck yeah, been waiting to watch the pond build

[@pamray1906]

Daniel, please don’t take the wrong way but, you are like a kid on Christmas morning that got what he really wanted ❤❤❤❤❤

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

Let's rebuild the pond .this will be an awesome series of content 💪🇺🇸

[@jas57264]

Aight!!! Big Boy Toys at the POND!!!!

[@lindajohnson8347]

Nothing runs like a Deere

[@bige.3474]

I was expecting D9 size or larger.

[@cheryladams7945]

The end of the video explained it all to me, this is a memory of your father and what he started. Now I understand the passion and I can't wait to see this pond finished

[@smartgrandma]

AWESOME, much needed video Daniel! Mike and I have had a really tough day, but this video lifted our moods up and gave us some much needed joy that we don't have around Christmas time since moving down here to Florida. Your enthusiasm is contagious with this pond and brings back great memories of clearing out the silt from my old pond back in the 70's and 80's.....the good old days. I think a nice dock would be great as would some clear kayaks to fish from, especially when the water is clean. Standing up on those paddle boards would be a fun challenge to fish from too! Ohhhhh...... all the things I'll never be able to do, but it would be so much fun to see you all enjoying it all! What about a dock/island in the center of the pond to paddle out to? I had just pointed out to Mike that wonderful, hollow tree for a great fish habitat when you pointed it out to us mere seconds later! That had me laughing for the first time in days. My imagination is going to keep on going wild, so I better stop this now. We can't wait for your next pond video! Try to get some sleep, but you may be too excited to sleep! With loads of love, prayers, and gentle hugs for y'all and your critters too. God bless y'all, Donna Gulyas in Florida. 🥰🤣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍🧜‍♂🧜‍♀🚣🐟🦈🐳🐬🌳🌳🌳🏝⛳FORE!!

[@codywhitson9439]

Can’t wait to see what the pond looks like finished!! YEEYEE!! Love y’all’s channel.

[@TacoAndy99]

!!!!ALSO!!!! (Because Daniel forgot) Remember, “Do something today to make someone smile, because you never know, it just might change the world!”

[@c.klorenz4332]

I absolutely enjoyed watching this pond rebuild video. Your idea for using the fallen trees as fish habitat is going to be very beneficial. I can't wait to see the final product! Awesome video content. Thank you. ❤❤❤

[@edwardstreet9532]

Won’t the trees float? Just wondering how they will anchor them to the bottom of the pond. 17:39

[@vickibird8007]

I'm so excited for you guys! The pond will be amazing!!

[@vickiemeeks5399]

Glad your sharing with me, Daniel. Love watching the channel.

[@kateditizio6730]

Daniel, anyone should see your excitement ! Your dad’s spirit is with you. I’m excited for you!

[@kateditizio6730]

You’re going to make me tear up. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas holiday.

[@izzy1949]

Daniel I wldnt miss the rebuild of this pond for anything… I find it very exciting…you will have an amazing pond…❤

[@louisnemick1939]

Daniel I have been waiting for this. Thank you for sharing.

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

can't wait to see the results.. sounds like you did good at the merch store.. great to see and hear.

[@Corvinwhite]

Your pond will look amazing when it’s finished and I appreciate everything you do for the environment

[@sandrahutchinson-i8w]

Your going to enjoy it when it's done

[@equinegold]

Daniel, I rarely comment, but love your channel. That being said, you are too funny today saying “I don’t know if you can tell how excited I am”, or “I’m not sure my excitement comes through this video but…” You are cracking me up! Your excitement comes through loud and clear, and always has. You remind me of my dad, now he was much harder to read, but when he was getting ready for something of a pond build magnitude, the excitement just exuded through his pores. I’m so happy for you and praise God for blessing you with a true heart to maintain that which He originally built and commanded us to take care of rather than destroy. Which seems to be the modus operandi in the world anymore today. Thanks for the excitement and memories, now get back out there and do some more planning!❤😊

[@KristinJurgens]

This is going to be fun to watch.🐢

[@haroldanderson2781]

POND POND POND!! I subscribed because of the pond content and it’s back!!! We also enjoy Houston hunting videos! Thanks!!

[@masunshine2970]

TO the Arms family incase I don't see you before Christmas, I wish your family a very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. God be with all of you and your family and friends this holiday and New year. God be with all of you.🎃🎄🙏

[@RatdogDRB]

What a nice start to the rebuild, Dan'l. BTW... my order of chocolate covered pecans arrived a short while ago. Very nicely packed and arrived just fine. Thank you both for getting them to me in Seattle in time for Christmas. Much appreciated. God bless you folks in your efforts.

[@loisfehr7961]

I'm delighted to see the work on the pond starting! It will be fascinating to watch the progress.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Me too! It's going to be a huge project.

[@loisfehr7961]

@ArmsFamilyHomestead Your excitement definitely comes through! Like kid in a candy store (: Something would be wrong if you weren't so excited 😆. It's great to see Houston so excited, too. To your entire family, have blessed Christmas season celebrating our Saviour's birth.

[@pamelahousley7543]

This will be a wonderful journey to follow. Looking forward to it. Happy for you & the entire family! Merry Christmas & God Bless.

[@karenchandler3486]

I’m excited as you all. I love watching pond builds❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mikemiller8440]

Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video with us I am so excited about this awesome pond restoration I can't wait to see more of it !!!! Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video

[@ryankelly5303]

Awesome job guys. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@kasperaquatics]

Good afternoon, My family and I lost our home and our pet due to a fire on 12-16-24 Please everyone, keep us in your prayers. We are safe and healthy. Thank you. ❤

[@geoffrey1ish]

I’m just really excited to see this whole project come to life! Can’t wait for you guys to get back to fishing in it Love watching thanks for using this content to show us

[@cypressblue8877]

I can't wait for the pond to be done. That was funny, Houston. Dang, we needed a longer video. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing, eh :))

[@deltonwatts9726]

The pond is an interesting project...thanks for sharing. We look forward to the finished job.

[@stevenmcbride9183]

We just recently built a pond too. I had a Missouri department of conservation fisheries agent out, he warned me about using certain types of trees for structures habitat. Some trees have tannins that could release toxins that could kill fish. Just something you should consider.

[@jeepssnow9506]

Could you share which ones are No-no’s? Would be very helpful to know for Daniel and others, too🤗

[@stevenmcbride9183]

No locust and certain types of oaks. Any softer hardwoods are good like maples, hackberry or pines.

[@sarabirch661]

So exciting!

[@HensOnly]

Oh yes the excitement is building! I love watching you and the excavator work its magic! It's never boring! Keep those videos coming!

[@tinamitchell3764]

I read about someone who has an acre and 1/2 farm pond that got a lot of algae, duckweed and other weeds in it. Then he got ducks that don't fly and put on the pond and built them a floating duckhouse on the pond for shelter for them to keep them safe from predators and bad weather. He said that they did an amazing job of keeping the pond cleaner.

[@kathleencarpentier3397]

Yes! It IS gonna be more gooder! Great to see some serious progress and looking forward to The Pond! Looking forward to you & Houston (an others) catching some good fish!

[@BettyFisher-gy4sk]

Collab was great. More please!

[@HorseyGal4ever]

I'm pond dreaming right along, it's going to be great! Our pond is only 1/2 an acre, and is filled with wildlife, we love it.🥰

[@janicehaas4618]

Can't wait to see Houston and you fishing in the pond. Glad to see the machines come in and do some work . Thanks for the smiles and up date. Have a blessed day ❤️

[@cherylkoenig5509]

Yay! The pond is being worked on. I really want to see it finished before I'm finished.

[@lori1508]

Starting this pond build will sure get you to a Million Subscribers ❤

[@MaxiFitzjarrald]

Sure enjoy watching the pond being built. Exciting. Laughed when Houston yelled “four.” Houston is such a nice young man.

[@chipseiler1766]

I've been looking forward to this rebuild series. Love the artificial creek channel!!! That's what will make this different from every other pond I've seen on KZbin. Sounds like you've got the right plan for structure too. Don't forget. If you want trophy bass NOOOO catfish or Crappie. They compete for the same food and take up some of the weight that your pond will be able to sustain. You should also install one or two fountains to help increase your oxygen levels and help increase the amount of poundage that your pond can handle. Recipes for BIG bass! Running your electrical to the fountains before it fills with water is way better! The biggest mistake I made when building a pond many years ago was NOT pumping the water out when it rained as we were designing and taking the dirt out of it during the rebuilding process. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

[@j.walker3498]

I'm here for all the content. The pond is my favorite since before the pond king collaboration and little pontoon. we gonna get some duck recipe /cookout? I know houston is a Bass hound But that's big enough to have some crappie, and they taste better. I believe your dad is watching and is happy and proud of what you're doing, have done.

[@cindycarter1434]

Love watching you get all fired up with excitement for this pond, Daniel.

[@Ducky2964]

I’m excited to watch the rebuild as well. I can’t wait to see it finished!

[@JoanWilliamson-d1i]

I know you’re beyond excited to get this project going❤️👏🏻❤️

[@brendahaire8824]

This will be a good series of the pond build. Merry Christmas Arms Family.

[@rickster9993]

If your going to use the logs lay them across the ditch instead of in the ditch. Plus when they come in and layout the water line with a transit mark the water line with yellow or orange marking paint. 3 or 4 ft long lines parallel to the waters edge. Scatter these lines every 50 feet or so all the way around the pond. This will help in visualizing what your pond is actually going to look like. You might decide a little peninsula right there would be nice etc. I personally don't like islands in ponds but if you want on this would aid you in deciding where to put it. I love rock piles, stacked, not dumped. You can take two lg square rock spaced a little bit apart with a flat rock laid across them forming a tunnel. One good size square rock with a good size flat one leaned against it works also. stacks with a smaller rock on the bottom and a larger around flat rock sitting on top creates a overhang all the way around. Set long flat rocks on edge in trenches to help hold them up. Do parallel, circular, and random angles of them. Randomly dig shallow curving trenches and holes with the dirt pile laying right beside them. The rougher the bottom the better. Don't forget to create a nesting area. The Oklahoma wildlife department could help you on all of this stuff. Might even stock it for you. Some of the babies from your pond will be washing downstream.

[@beckietharpe2277]

I'm excited that the pond build has finally been started 😊 it's going to be awesome, I know.

[@TerryDavison-f1k]

Hi Daniel and Dejay thanks for having me along God bless y'all love y'all I'm excited to see the pond done

[@johnkirby6547]

[@janedoe-ch4hv]

Quietly becoming a fan, but this is what I've been waiting for since the first pond vid!! Why am I drawn to such videos?? Its a problem

[@TimStJohn-xp8rv]

The deer videos are getting old! Pond videos yesssss

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

That pond will be better than ever once it is finished and stocked! 💖💖💖

[@timdienhart3738]

Glad to see the Pond project started. Looking forward to watching every episode.

A designer pond. It will look fantastic when you're all done and it's SO much fun to watch the process.

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Your “mini-excavator” was just waiting to come out and play with the big boys!! 🤪. Y’all held your own! Great job!!

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

That pond is turning out great. Going to be awesome.

[@t.oTeresa5063]

I'm excited to see how good the pond will look afterwards. I'm sure it will be AWESOME.

[@scottburk4083]

Howdy Daniel! I think I'm as excited as you are for this pond build. Looking forward to watching every second of it that you post. Have a great rest of the week, take care and God Bless you all!!!🙏❤😊

[@michaelfreehling1914]

Daniel love your excitement. Received my Arms Family Slayer Kit yesterday and a few for presence. So cool

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

It’ll be awesome! Especially since you’re going to have a grassy edge all the way around! The deer etc will be there for sure. A raft with a slide and jump board would be super for the kids and their friends and Grandkids!

[@barbaramaggert2777]

Wow that brought back a memory of watching Houston when he was younger trying to push over trees that he could feel kind of giving. He was one tough little dude then and he's growing into such an amazing young man.

[@leebryant5443]

Exciting to see the pond rebuilding process has started. I can’t wait for the upcoming videos. Now would be a good time to take your little pontoon boat to your shop do any work to it that it may need. Merry Christmas to you guys and all your family and may god continue to bless you.

[@rhondapierce6816]

I’m SO EXCITED 🎉. This will definitely be some great content! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@edwardh1591]

I can’t wait to see the finished product. This guy has a lot of dirt to move. It will all be worth it in the end

[@tthomestead2763]

How cool. You finally get to work toward your pond goals. 😊😊

[@catrivett1964]

This is so exciting, besides the fish, the wildlife are gonna love you for expanding the pond size.

[@ScotReeder]

Patiently awaiting the pond rebuild. I'm excited to see it too.

[@RyanPerkins-lm7cb]

I’m really looking forward to watching all the videos of this pond build clear through its completion and seeing how you reseed it with fish! Hope you and your Family has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@barbarajohnson1348]

These drivers of this equipment are so knowledgeable, so smart,so patient. May all of you have the best Christmas and enjoy whatever God has in-store.

[@kenw9404]

Hot dog. Christmas came early. Been waiting on this one.

[@Elizabethcoley1]

Whenever I come across farming, it takes me down memory lane. Losing my farm to the hurricane Florence on September 2018 here in North Carolina dealth a huge jab. But with an influx of $45k monthly made my family happy one more time

[@Chandlerduke]

Congratulations!! The scriptures clearly states there's going a transference of the riches of the heathen to the righteous.God keep blessings you

[@Chandlerduke]

But how do you make so much in a month? mind sharing?

[@Elizabethcoley1]

It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus

[@Elizabethcoley1]

Big thanks to *Ms Kathleen Mary Vella*

[@Elizabethcoley1]

Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me

[@gregburgess6251]

[@mitchelllavalley3497]

Daniel we are looking forward to the building of the pond, and as you move along and some things change it will be exciting! And l can see even more interest will develop among your family members. What makes it fun we know it won't happen overnight so it will provide more content with the homestead.

[@davidasimkosr4641]

Daniel, I noticed you have a Kentucky Ballistics tee-shirt. I saw his video explaining his almost fatal gun malfunction. It’s so cool how all of you KZbinrs support each others merchandising and collaborations!
