Update on fundraiser: We’ve raised over $200,000 between tshirts, GoFundMe, and ad rev. We are finalizing the organizations we will be partnering with, and will have a formal announcement in the next video. You guys are amazing, couldn’t do it without you. Y’all are making a huge impact on my community. Forever greatful

[@kaylaruth6762]

Let's go! I'm so glad!

[@OttoOutdoors]

Did anything happen to the ranch cabin???

[@ranndomundead9112]

I would take the big excavator in there and make a road. then replant and let everything overgrow so then you got a pre fab game trail. Woods are no different than the shop, since everything is jacked up anyways you get to custom design it

[@drewanderson8279]

As far as the shop comming down and the small things stayed in place is like this. Your shop was tall and flat sided. Catching all the wind like a sail. I drove flatbed semi. I never had as much problems in a wind storm as a big box van semi. So your shop caught the wind and blew down and the chair and Brooklyns toys were less weight but were dang near flat on the ground not Catching the wind. This is only my opinion. I could be totally wrong.

[@Live_Outdoors]

If the pond fills too much. Wait till winter when the pond freezes and stack your rock structure on the this ice. As it thaws down she's goes. My grandpa use to do it at his lake house.

[@dylonpress7034]

Hey @Flair I just wanna say, I'm proud of you for being one of the first people to farm morels inside a trailer and a shop at the same time. 😂

[@Liberty_DIY]

@FLAIR The small forest is not destroyed for deer hunting. It has been made even better. The branch and leaf canopy is gone but it brings huge benefits. More sun to invigorate growth of small saplings and other good feed for the deer. The new absence of excess tree branches gives you many more new shooting lanes. With tragedy, you find triumph. There is always a silver lining. Clean it up and encourage the new growth and you're likely to bring in a nice 12+ buck in November. Good luck and keep up the good work.

[@timothyjames4286]

[@BearLovesAll]

9:50 Flair points camera at 20 trees, do you see that thing in that tree? It's camouflage. Well no, no, I don't see it flair, BECAUSE ITS CAMOUFLAGE😂😂😂

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

A damaged woods is a good Morel hunting grounds. Most mycelium from morels attach to mainly any tree using it as a symbiotic relationship getting nutrients from the tree. Reason why you typically find them on specific trees is because they are the trees we see dying and disappearing in our forest the most in our generation. Once a tree is injured it cuts off nutrients to the mycelium and the mycelium produces fruits (morels) to spawn and release seeds (spores)to another tree nearby. Thats how they survive.

[@hunterkranendonk6785]

Flair for the fish feeder if you do leave it in there take out the battery so it doesn’t leak battery acid in your pond

[@BlakePace-ip4ep]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

Your bobcat with the brush cutter, that grappling claw will help clear a trail. Set up a come- a- long winch deep into the forest so you can extract branches and full trees in one go on a steel cable. It is the easiest way to navigate it through a woods without having to setup pathways. Another good idea is to find a local person that sells firewood. They will likely come and take away for free since they will make money off the wood. Otherwise you can always pitch in a few bucks for fuel they will gladly come out and clean up the woods.

[@aliasfred]

"Snatch" blocks really help in skidding trees out of the woods. Can handle heavier weights than a come-a-long.

[@justins4274]

Flair didn’t knock on wood the first time he said a tornado was coming.

Flair should get a milling machine and use those downed trees for the lumber to rebuild his shop or animal barns.

[@Something-Somes]

@FLAIR. As someone that has done landscaping...the damaged trees are not bad to leave unless they are dangerous. Some of them may not look great but they can still provide cover and nutrients for wildlife. Like others have stated...I suggest cleaning it up the best you can. Once you have it cleaned up you can make trails easier and plan out some areas. After planning what you want to do...I would bring in some large saplings. Some tree suggestions for you: Maple (purely because they grow fast, Oak (good for ecological succession), Hickory (also good for ecological succession), Ash trees are great for ecological succession, Fruit trees like Persimmon/Plum/Pear/Apple are great for attracting wildlife (Persimmon is great for hunting) and lastly Nut trees like Walnut and Pecan are good for wildlife too. Oaks and Pine trees are the most common tree you find morel growth around but Ash are great for mycelium. Elms are known to be easy to catch tree diseases which is why they are good for mycelium but if it gets sick it could become an issue for other trees. So be warned on those. I would not worry about forest restoration right now because you want to plant new trees right before the fall comes. I would focus on clean up and build your trails and plan your layouts before the time comes to plant. If you do decide to plant...make sure you remove heavy vegetation like vines, thick bushes and anything that may take nutrients from the tree zone ( The tree zone is the diameter of the tree when mature). I had posted a comment on one of Brad's videos about ordering full grown trees online...its possible but you should shop and find places that are local if you can. Good luck man...thoughts and prayers with everyone effected by these twisters.

[@Shane_M]

Flair, I promise you have nothing to worry about wit the deer. Clear out paths through the trees and set tree stands off those trails. Guaranteed deer hot spots! All those down trees will cause undergrowth to sprout and dry will be in there for both bedding and food!

[@joeNotexotic579]

Tornados are so weird Brooklyn's shopping cart gets sucked out of their house and thrown almost a mile away but her toys on her beach didn't move 😂

[@masonhershberger8654]

I think you should take a big dozer and plow the front half where the trailer is. Then plant new trees and set it up perfectly for hunting. Planting cover from the house. Then planting tons of trees and making it a wildlife paradise.

[@bignslow6oh844]

Use all deadfall and make natural turkey and deer funnels/ roads to pinch point for hunting purpose. Most trees should come back

[@djmutt10]

if you take it down to the dirt you can plant saplings and get a jump start on getting your woods back

[@_jake_the_great_9643]

Look on the bright side you got plenty of firewood 😂😂

[@brocksmith6962]

Flair showed us some camouflage out in the forest and he expected us to see it in half a second 😂

[@whitey2shotpewpew825]

Your woods is messed up for now. But you can now make the trails where you want. And every time we have our place logged, the next 5-10 years there's more deer than mosquitoes. That underbrush comes back thick, they love it.

That sounds like a winner winner chicken dinner to me great idea Wyatt Henry.

[@user-bh2nl8td4r]

Hey Flair, going around your property with a metal detector to see if you find valuables that came from another property from the tornado wind. Looking after the clean up would be easier so you're not detecting trash. But you could possibly have a ring, necklace, watch, or something good that landed on your property. And if you find something, can you find the owner would make a great video

[@coolguy5957]

Hey Flair! I met someone who works with one of the promotion companies you use and told her an idea! I said you should get an ice cream truck and make it into a jerky truck! Every time someone walks up you gotta go SHEEEEWWWW welcome to beefcake jerky what can I get you! You could get someone to drive it around the country to different events and promote that jerky!! Maby you will hear a word but I thought that would make a great video and promote the brand in general. Anyways SHEEEW have a nice day. Love the vids

[@D-genTV]

The damn plane with the upside down wings

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Even just the mini excavator has saved you an insane amount of work with clearing the track to the pond. Clearing the woods out will boil down to chainsaws, boots and gloves and a lot of swearing. You'll be finding stuff you missed for years. It's good to see how well Brooklyns' Beach stood up to the run off. Nature is not to be underestimated in her fury and power. They're only matched by the randomness of her works. I've been through some pretty serious floods and bushfires where I live (had to take refuge in my pond with my dogs at one point in a firestorm) and seen some pretty good storms, but I don't envy you having gone through a tornado like that. Keep plugging away at it, mate.

[@F3AR_DA_REAPER]

Hi Flair i hope everyone is recovering as well as they could from everything its great to see what your doing to help out my son and me watch you all the time he keeps telling me i need to get some of your Jerky i might one day lol coming at you from Scotland

[@kylesmith3211]

This is why I like yalls channel, you're not scared of hard work

[@danielle-yd5dp]

I hope one thing u learned from this is to make sure u have better cameras around ur property n make sure they get backed up even when there is no power. What's the point of the cameras if when the power shuts off they just stop working. They need to atleast still record even if u can't watch the cameras while the power is off it still being able to record is important. What if someone just came on ur property cut the power n then boom no cameras recording so no proof of anything they did. Yeah nah u deff need better camera systems cuz if u had those in the first place we could of seen all that took place n the trailer missile lol

[@psychorabbitt]

Banjo's right - that panel from the Dux trailer needs to be mounted. I'd say either in the new shop when it gets built, or in the store at Beefcake Jerky HQ.

Get some climbers from a local tree service to save trees and remove debris without heavy equipment and you have a chance to keep most of the trees in my opinion.

But, NO Eastern Red Cedars!

[@graydoncarruth5044]

Oh one bright side, and I know you are dealing with a lot so not taking away from that, your deer woods are not destroyed. Once the new growth reacts to the sunlight on the forest floor, starting this summer and going through the next couple of years, the deer will absolutely flock to the new growth before the mature forest returns.👍

Keep up the good content and stay safe brother

[@sdpy15]

Had to go through a similar cleanup after a wildfire. Just take a mid sized excavator through there and pile debris and broken limbs as close to the road as possible. You can call in a trash trailer (if they accept mixed debris), or just dig a deep pit and burry everything. Leave the trees standing, they will grow back in a couple years. You can also supplement the lost trees by planting some acorn trees, and various fruits (like mulberry and apricot) to help bring the deer back in and provide a bit of cover. Just make sure you put wire around the trunk so nothing gets to the bark. Deciduous trees like poplar will also grow extremely fast and help fill in the mature trees that don't recover.

[@RagingNana-KindredSpirit50]

Crazy just how much damage that tornado did. I'm sure you're going to find more crazy stuff. Glad to see you finding some humor in all of the mess. Happy belated Mother's day to Macy! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Add as many root balls as you want. Once the wood soaks up enough water as long as it stays under the water it should stay like that for years.

[@micheleford4282]

hey lots of people have wood burning stoves now put an ad out and say come get it for free they have to chop and haul it themselves a quick way to get it gone also dont chop the bottoms of the trees still in the ground level them off and they will grow back up.

You gotta look into timber stand improvements for deer hunting. The tornado basically did a lot of the work for you. You can fill in all the empty places missing trees with huge food plots, switch grasses for bedding and natural native grass plots

Tornados are very different beasts‼️ When I was a little kid, we had a small one go through my backyard and down the street. It opened one gate the wrong way, broke the spring on our backdoor screen, opened the other gate correctly, and deposited my Mom's rugs (that were on the clothes line drying) all over our neighborhood. One was 4 blocks away. And a couple were never found. It, also, took a small camper and turned it up-side-down, without damaging it. So, YES‼️ Tornados do some really crazy stuff‼️
