Pond Rebuild Starts Now!

[@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 💪🇺🇸

[@shmuck530]

Heck yeah, been waiting to watch the pond build

[@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

[@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!❤😊

[@vickiemeeks5399]

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

[@TacoAndy99]

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

[@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.

[@lori1508]

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

[@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

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

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

[@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.

[@izzy1949]

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

[@vickibird8007]

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

[@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

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

[@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.🎃🎄🙏

[@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.

[@garyrenfroe454]

Daniel it already looks awesome, with some time and work your dreams will come true.

[@BettyFisher-gy4sk]

Collab was great. More please!

[@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 :))

[@KristinJurgens]

This is going to be fun to watch.🐢

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

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

[@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.

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

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

[@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.🥰

[@haroldanderson2781]

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

[@pamelahousley7543]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@brendaandjohn1416]

Hello Daniel, I am a lady of 73 years old . Your videos are , "all great" Never boring young man you are so polite and a wonderful spokes man Thank you for sharing this part of your life. You're a natural. Have a great day from John and Brenda living in ar.

[@louisnemick1939]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@deltonwatts9726]

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

[@ryankelly5303]

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

[@tinamitchell3764]

I'm not sure who loves that pond more, you or Houston. One things for sure, you and him have made a lot of memories there together, just your memories from when you were growing up. And I can see Houston doing the same thing with his kids someday. Seems like if any of your children are going to follow in your footsteps, it would be him. He seems to love the land, nature and the animals as much as you do. Hopefully in the far distant future Houston will carry on the Homestead. ❤

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 ❤️

[@tthomestead2763]

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

[@MaxiFitzjarrald]

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

[@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

[@cherylkoenig5509]

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

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

[@Ducky2964]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@cindycarter1434]

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

[@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

[@karenchandler3486]

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

[@EyglóÞorvaldsdóttir]

[@johnkirby6547]

Hi Daniel, congrats on the long awaited start of the rebuild process. We are all excited for you and can't wait to see the follow up videos on this project. It's like 🎅 came early.. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.

[@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!

[@debblucher2513]

In your dad's memory, it's wonderful ❤❤❤

[@timdienhart3738]

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

[@beckietharpe2277]

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

[@TKCL]

So jealous 😍. When you're done, come build my dream pond. Love the series!

[@brendahaire8824]

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

[@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!!!🙏❤😊

[@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!

[@carolynmesser7199]

I’m excited for you 😊, it is going to be amazing when it’s done . More fishing memories for us all .💕🙏😊

[@kayleen638]

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Arms and family for the hat I ordered for my husband. We love you and GOD BLESS you and your family 💞

[@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.

[@amateurshooter6054]

[@michaelfreehling1914]

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

[@t.oTeresa5063]

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

[@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

[@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

[@Elizabethcoley1]

And to think that I started with the sum of $11,500 remains a miracle

[@Elizabethcoley1]

There is her line!!!! under this comment!!!! combine the DIGITS 🔁

[@ScotReeder]

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

[@gregburgess6251]

From Houma Louisiana good to see you your doing a great job keep up the good work my brother

[@rhondapierce6816]

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

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Daniel and Family. Great to see the bulldozer at the pond. Can't wait to see the finished product. Having the right equipment makes your job easier. Like the natural habitat for the fish. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@WesleyAPEX]

Your pond must be spring fed because it always stays wet at the bottom.

[@christeendavis3787]

Dream Coming True ❤ & it works in your Favor its been warm & mostly Dry Beginning to Winter... Hopefully we in Oklahoma are not in for a Rough Jan & Feb lol

[@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.

[@susanblair3701]

Yay! You're working on the pond! This build is going to be awesome!

[@CindyEagly-r6c]

Great job. It really has changed for the good.

[@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.

[@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!

[@TimStJohn-xp8rv]

The day of reconning has started, and so far this is going to be a very interesting series of videos in your pond rebuilding. your excitement is over top in the anticipation of having your dream pond adventure come through and Houston cannot wait to start putting fish in the pond ,GOD Bless.....

[@lynnhorsman7912]

I have watched you long enough to be able to tell when you are excited and you defineatly are. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you are done with it. I am sure Houston is just as excited and the experience of watching it come to fruition will be very good for him and you.. May God continue to bless the Arms family.
