It is looking really good Robert!

[@MarshaShelley-t3n]

It looks so much better now! You do great work Robert!!

[@DonaldLGreeley]

I am so impressed with you Robert for working a preserving history and honoring those who have gone before us. God bless you!!

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

Thank you!

I used to know a Richard Milner who lived in FL & SW GA area. He knew Creek language and was writing a book on place names of native origin .

I've had the honor of helping to reclaiming a pioneer-era cemetery near my home that had been neglected for decades. Once we cleared the 8' tall weeds we were able to find old records and map out the graves. (We also found out that a local church owned the cemetery and they have now taken over the maintenance. They are doing a great job!) Sadly, we think that several of the graves are now under a Taco Bell parking lot, but the 100 or so we did find are once again a part of the official history of our city. Everyone deserves to be known. Thank you, Robert, for restoring history and inspiring others to do the same..

Aloha 🌺 Robert! Merry Christmas to you & Family! Anything is okay! Aloha 🌺🥰

Hey Robert! Love all of your videos. Started with the Old Byrd Farm renovations. Adventures into History is excellent. Covers so much history in South Georgia, always, being so respectful of the many historical cemeteries, long forgotten. Continued success!

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!

[@allygee5468]

Been following since your Sidestep channel always entertaining

[@DeeDee-dl7sl]

Everyone click on the like button. Not many men like Robert who take their time and labor to clean up these cemeteries! Thank you Robert!

[@Lorriann63]

You're doing a wonderful job cleaning up at the farmhouse and the cemetery projects. I enjoy seeing both. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

I’m glad you enjoy watching both!

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

And thank you!

[@cheryllakin6736]

Thankfull for your mom going through stuff in that room and clearing it out.

You are doing such a great service protecting the history of your area Robert. Well done.

Looking a lot better Robert

[@SondraD7676]

Good work. It does look much better. The PHd you earned on the OBF cutting and clearing pays off again. I miss your vests, shirts and hats though. I guess the Jeep and several other things changes the landscape. I have been with you on both channels day one. Hanging on to and with you to see what is coming down the video pike. Morphing and change is the way life goes. Lets go! 👍👍❣❣️

[@Mari-B]

Robert, the cemeteries are looking so cared for, and that touches our hearts.

[@celleduffel1533]

Hello, I just found your channel, I don't comment very much, but thank you for sharing. I've never heard of a sweet gum tree. Will be checking your other channel. Love anything about history. God bless . 😊

[@shellydehart8217]

Robert you’re a good man. I admire what you’re doing n so very proud of you that you do it. Whatever your plans are I’ll do my best to be there for your support. I have no problem if you want to mix it up a little bit. Although my heart is still close to the OBF. That’s the first video I ever watched on UTube. I still can see the day I first saw you with wisteria surrounding you the house the cars the whole yard. God bless my friend always. ♥️♥️🥰🥰👍🌟🌟

[@MichaelLeBlanc-p4f]

An 'Old Stock' Loyalist CanUk I grew up visiting 'rural' graves in 'Gaspie Bay, led there by family who loved their kin and told stories of the interesting ghosts being visited. Some were Anglo-Scots, some Irish-Acadians. Followed all, with dedication, back in time typically to 1600s. Know them. Know some very well thaanks to archives and their remarkable life experiences. Visiting these graves and others, is now like visiting old friends, I'll be joining in time. Hope the records preserved, encourage other visits

[@forecon11]

If you can, let’s coordinate for trying to make a supply run this next week.

[@cindys.9688]

That land looks like a real cemetery now! When we first saw it, it didn't look nearly that big. What a difference clearing out those trees made. Loved this video! Love all of your videos. I've been subscribed since early 2017. You've got just the right manner and personality to do this. You're fun to hang out with. I'm so glad you enjoy being a content creator. You're excellent at it.😊 It's so nice of your mom to sort thru stuff at the OBF. I bet she enjoys it, too. I wish her the very best of luck in her treasure hunting! I hope this is her week to find that Confederate Gold the Byrds hid for her to find!🪙

[@lillypad9960]

Hi Robert and other members of the group. Enjoying the videos, especially the cemetery genre. Blessings from Michigan.

I hope you get back to Byrd Farm content exclusively on this channel. I also watch Sidestep Adventures.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

Like I said on the video, when I am have stuff to film there I will. Just not a whole lot going on at the moment and very tied up with side projects. And if I do not film and release videos on this channel, it will d i e plus as a content creator I can’t do these things without being able to film and release them.

[@nancymoore3456]

Good job robert your good soul looks like you got a haircut❤

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

I did!

[@nancymoore3456]

I did too

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Great that yout cut down some of those evassive sweet gums, which also grow a LOT in North carolina as welll . The cemetery grounds looks so much better with all those sweet gums down, but why I do NOT like battery powered chain saws, cause 1} extra batteries cost money, and a loot of them are expensive! 2} weather related, in cold weather, they die faster and do not hold a charge..for what you pay in batteries alone can get a good gas powered chain saw, and cut in all kinds of weather. But seriously the grounds are looking really nice.. Great job Robert.

[@margaretgarls153]

Did you ever chew sweet gum sap with Clark Clove gum? My grandmother used to take me on nature hikes in the 1950s in SE Arkansas. It looks so good with all your cleanup!😊 Glad you avoided the rattlesnake.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

Never have!

[@101egals]

Hey Robert, you should sow some grass to take over.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

Yeah, apparently that’s how it used to be.

[@KatefromOZ62-e5o]

I feel hot, just watching you out there. It looks so good. Is there any way to find out who the people are buried in the un-named graves? I enjoy watching both your channels. You're professional, respectful and funny. I think that's what makes it so interesting. Have a great day, Kate.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

In the past we have been able to identify burials in unmarked graves via death certificates. So if they specific they were buried in this cemetery vs the one that adjoins it, it is possible. Of course it would only be a known burial, we wouldn’t know which grave was which still.

[@KatefromOZ62-e5o]

@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG Well, I think the ones resting there, are thanking you for caring. You do are great job.

What are sweet gums I live in Australia

[@kirstenhopli9163]

Hi Robert. You are doing a great job. Guess I’ve seen all your videos on this channel during all this years. Thank you herefor 🙏 It is difficult to choose the impressions you will show on all your divers channels. Personally I like all the things around the buildings and gardening on the Old Byrd Farm. How much change is going on each time, is why I watch this channel and I dont bother if there is no posting all week. The old cars restaurations and other videos sutch as the cementrys cleanups I’m not very intresstet in. Maby you could start a separat car cannel? I understand that its your passion helping the community and friends that is admirable and very kind of you ❤ Have a bright wintertime, enjoy what you do and take care.🎄

[@jacquelinesmedley7853]

I've enjoyed this project thanks Robert very interesting. It would be very interesting to leaf blow the whole area ( using local volunteers)and more historical graves phaps would be uncovered?

[@bcoldgoalie]

Is sweet gum any good as firewood? Just curious. Nice vid Robert!

[@jenny-ub9tc]

is there a risk for wild fire in that area. Just wondering about throwing your cut brush/trees over the fence.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

No.

[@susangustafson4523]

Sorry, I had to chuckle with that first limb and your reaction to its stubbornness.

[@eighmeeloo]

Where are Blue and his sister?

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

There’s a big ole rattlesnake in this cemetery, so I left them at home. Blue was at the farm Thursday, and Annie has enjoyed not going to the farm.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

She loves it when she’s out there but isn’t a big fan of the riding

[@myriadhues457]

I've heard that in places where spirits are restless batteries tend to drain unusually fast. Maybe some of the locals in that cemetery were curious what you were up to, lol.

[@richardstoc]

Always carry a Gas powered Chain saw or garden equipment unless your carrying extra batteries for back up lol

[@MillerMeteor74]

Maybe you mentioned it in the first video, but I don't remember. Is that cemetery surrounded by logging lands?

[@artillerest43rdva7]

that is the down fall of lithium /Ni cad / Ni metal hydride batteries, the cold drains them quicker, if you can keep them warm, they will last a longer time. heat it not as much of an issue, below 100’F above that can cause damage. the wedge cut out helps them clear obstacles, and more momentum to fall to the ground. the farm has made a ton of of progress, the floors are doing great! nice and flat plus support weight safely. great job, be safe using the chain saw.

[@drunkdunc8738]

Was that haircut intentional or a close shave with the chainsaw Robert ? 😲🍻

Chain saw got outta control!
