Every Farm Truck needs a winch.

[@DiZZoLabs]

Yes!

[@dkhoupt7205]

Every farm needs a tractor…. And a 4x4 farm truck

[@carlofalciola5953]

Snowchain may help too, but definitely not easy to find in the tropics!

[@jimconner1028]

You beat me to it. Great idea. Need a small tractor too. Could also bury small trees/sticks/slats horizontally across the muddiest parts of the hill. Couple of feet apart, should provide for some traction and a way to hold gravel on the steep muddiest parts. It's a temp fix but it would help.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

I agree!! Which one u recommend? Does Amazon have a good one?

[@12345robjohn]

:"You can’t stop the earth from spinning, just go with the flow" great quote uncle Matty.

LOVE the look.. But Matty you have to get some drainage under fence or those boards will rot in months... It will wick water right up off the ground and disintegrate.. MAYBE behind, or inside your property create some drainage?? Looks great!!!

Like always, you are a “dream team” when it comes to make lemons into lemonade - however, get yourself a small 4x4 tractor with a front loader and a backhoe attachment, it will make life a lot easier !

[@charlesrovira5707]

One solar powered, electric *BobCats* would go great and save your backs,

The more you drive down the hill the muddier it gets. 2"-3" size is a must anything smaller will just push in the mud. OMG that front looks so nice. great job guy's

[@Vidoftheday370]

Start with railroad ballast, and then go to 57’s

[@VonBluesman]

You need a small tractor. Get mud grip tires for the truck, letting some air out helps but it breaks down the sidewalls and causes your vehicle to shake.

[@margiegandy9189]

4 wheel drive tractor.

[@KirkThomson]

With a bucket and backhoe

[@MrSteelmoon]

And a set of chains for the tires... they make your truck a tank in the mud

[@rexhavoc2982]

May have a hard time finding Snow Chains but would help.

[@brianwalker9185]

As a retired contractor I've had your issues...before you put rock down, I stopped using fabric. If walked on the rocks, on top and below, eventually poke holes allowing weeds. Also with fabric down it restricts ones ability to bury lighting wires...solar lights suck...planting...I understand the circumstances...trust me. Also, with your driveway...if you don't put in containment edging you will lose much of your rock. Use a 3/4 minus. If it's select, meaning all one size, it won't lock together well. The use of a vibrating tamper on top. Try to clear all big rocks and debris then use a preemergent to kill weeds and help for weed control. You will have to control organics from collecting on the drive. If not, it becomes mulch, then dirt and your back to square one.

[@melvynparkerson9984]

best you get out there and do it for them

[@ambassadorlight3146]

Don't use gravel. It will sink into the mud. Use road base. This has the ability to compress hard and not sink. The 1 lane road slopes down to my picnic pavilion. It is about 200' long. I used 4 24 ton loads and spread it with my tractor. It is about 4" deep compressed by running my 8500 lb tractor over it for several hours.

[@GTC1967]

Hey Matt, tire chains for snow work pretty good in the mud, too. Also, adding some weight in the bed will help.

[@robertbennett6697]

Was thinking of pumping water into plastic barrels in bed. Easy to fill and drain.

[@tuberNunya]

Where do you buy snow chains on a Caribbean Island? LOL

[@daveamies5031]

@@tuberNunyaHe is in PR, so he's still in the USA, so Amazon, would be my guess, it may take a few weeks to get there but where I am, 4 weeks delivery for any online order is considered fast.

[@bearcingetorix6326]

My guy, its a 4 banger 2wd. You are dropping tips for 4x4. There isn't much besides letting air out his tires or strapping small logs to his wheels for traction.

[@daveamies5031]

@@bearcingetorix6326i never understood this whole need a 4wd thing that people do recently, if you saw where people drove ans what they towed with 2wd's that had far less hp in the 60's and 70's you'd be amazed, my mum used to drive her Morris 1100 on Frazer island (there are no sealed roads on Frazer island even now, just beach or bush tracks), back then if you got bogged in the sand people just gathered some sticks and leaves to give you some traction and pushed the car. It might be a 4 banger but it's a big powerful 4 banger with heaps of ground clearance.

[@brianmitchell4957]

I hate when ur blog comes to an end.. love it... No Swearing is a big plus... you both work great together..😊

[@markajohnson4583]

Order an inexpensive set of tire chains - easy to install and remove and they will make your truck go/stop amazingly when it rains (which is all the time where you live)!

[@SCBailey20]

Y'all should really look into asphalt millings for the muddy road. its the perfect fix to your problem. it compacts over time and basically turns back into hard asphalt. the millings is just way better then gravel because over time it just washes away especially when it rains hard.

[@dans1104]

Good morning guys. I put alot of driveways here in Michigan. I would recommend putting down 1 by 3 as a base or use driveway netting. Before putting the top layer on. This will stop your gravel sinking

[@TimTimTomTom]

I've said the same, several times. He ain't gonna listen. Learning is set to maximum difficulty round hurr.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Ye the drive is over 1k' long the netting isn't cheap

[@TimTimTomTom]

@@SailingGoodBadandUgly You can get by without the netting, though you will have to add some gravel every year or two. Not a lot, but some. Been doing this kind of stuff a long time, man. Trying to offer some helpful tips, to save you money, time, and a beating on your body. It accumulates, you'll see.

[@Lana_Warwick]

You guys use Recycled Asphalt/bitumen (gravel) up there for long rural (etc) jobs? We use heaps of it in Au, once spread/compacted & the heat of the sun binds it, can't put a shovel into it.

[@AlexRodriguez-dw7ub]

But you're not in Michigan 😂

[@bryman777]

A 4X4 Utility Vehicle, its like a quad runner except it has cab with seats and a dump bed on the back. you can get plows for the front, and they also have winches installed as a standard. getting one It might make your life a lot easier especially with the dump bed on the back, until you get your driveway sorted out, you can park your truck up top, and drive the 4X4 utv down to your mobile home. i think you can write off the utv as a farm vehicle expense if you have a working farm .

[@timmywilson]

"the first time you fail" Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail. Over time, you'll learn that failure isn't as bad as you might imagine. It will help you learn to face your fear of failure in a way that can be productive and help you reach your goals. Love the fact you didn't give up and failure is good as you're learning more about what you can and can't do on your property without a proper driveway.

[@thomasluck1611]

When we built our last house, the builder put down heavy black fabric, then grey stones, the size of my hand. Later when I defined the driveway area, I found roadway fabric at a stone company. Next, we topped it all off with 57 stone. That is a mix of size 5 and 7 stone because they fit together better. The fabric keeps the stones from sinking into the ground. We lived there 12 years and never needed to add stone. The fabric definitely saved money in the long run. Your landscaping looks great. The space in the corner of your block fence and wooden fence is screaming for a bush. Love you guys. We are retired and live in Central Florida.

[@brianphillips1691]

Another important thing is to crown off the drive subgrade(dirt)so the center is a few inches higher so all the water runs to each side and not down the slope of the driveway

[@getinthespace7715]

You both are awesome. Way to roll with the punches. Finding a way to laugh together when the world is trying to make you cry is a super power.

[@RachaelSA]

That pavement would also look nice with a few big boulders/rocks on it. Maybe in piles with little plants growing out of them.

[@muskyful]

You need a binder in the stone you order for the roadbase. The typical road base material used in the PR & Caribbean region is a 1 1/2″ -3/4″ Limestone base rock & shell moro with limestone/shell sand/gravel binder. The material compacts in very well and dries up into a nice hard roadbase. Centerline crown your roadway for drainage to each shoulder. Overtime you just add where base settles, create ponding or ruts from driving....and eventually you can top with a finer stone. In future, you should get rid of ALL weeds and treat soil with post-emergent herbicide before placing fabric & stone.....weeds seed will just grow thru otherwise. And once every spring you need to reapply a pre-emergent herbicide to keep new weed seeds from growing in your stone.

[@mikehill2554]

Put ties of PT or concrete across your road 20 or 30 feet to help keep the stone from washing or migrating down the slope

[@lmenascojr]

So impressed with how you all go with the flow and keep making lemonade out of lemons!

[@robbyoliver4953]

All the busted up concrete you should used on the low places (muddy) in your road. It will save you money on the rock and would be covered up any way. You could rake and get the small stuff to help with traction. Building road in wet places you have to create a bottom.

[@foilrider2000]

It's a clown show.

[@sciglassblower]

Vines and Trees don't dull the chain, it is any time it touches dirt, there are small rocks in the dirt that dull it instantly. Ask me how I know.

In hesse, we protect our forest paths from erosion by installing wooden beams at a slight angle to the forest path every 20 meters. We use two beams with a 10 cm gap between them. The water is then diverted to one side. The beams lie in a bed of gravel.

[@deancartwright9784]

They need to be warned to keep that Gap cleaned out ❣

[@toddhed]

That rubble you buried would have made some great traction areas on the road....

[@foilrider2000]

Just another balls up.

[@davidkahl8503]

You have holes through the wheels you can tie rope around tire to add a lot of traction even can place a wood paddle from a scrap of wood.

You guys really need a small tractor with a front-end loader, a busk hog, and a post-hole digger. It would really make your life easier and jobs faster. Just a thought because I've done everything you guys are doing and will be doing in the future. But I'm a lot older than Matt and not a HERCULES, lol. Watching you makes my back hurt while I'm sitting in my chair watching you. But then again, you guys are having fun and creating memories.

[@cgr9430]

Having faced an all but identical situation, suggesting you consider spending the money for concrete with a deeply broomed finish for traction. Broom at 90 degrees to the drive. Pour a parking pad and pad for your RV while you're at it. Gravel will just eventually sink and there is no end to it no matter how many times you add more gravel. Thanks for the many seasons of great videos! Good luck!

[@malekodesouza7255]

Agreed. My son lives in N Idaho and has had to replace the gravel nearly every year. They are done with it. Asphalt is coming this spring. They’d love concrete but their driveway is 2/3 mile long. 😂

[@piotrtrocki3842]

Now you know why they built the house next to the road. The only permanent solution will be concrete driveway. Also you didn't listen to the people who said that the bottom of the fence cannot touch the ground.

[@SniffieBear]

A 4x4 quad might be a good investment to help you move goods up and down. Then you can leave the truck at the top, still gunna need a winch though.

[@jaegeratsea]

Agree. A gator or some other vehicle will really help

[@jaegeratsea]

That wall, cement, wood and gravel looks like a million bucks. Great job.

[@chrisanthony579]

Mud: "the more you play with it, the wetter it gets." Large construction trucks that need to get in and out of muddy places carry bags of (powdered) lime. When spinning; sprinkle it on the tires and ruts. Instant traction. The front looks fantastic.

[@allentate397]

3 things to do. Truck winch, mud tires on the rear and crush & run (better than gravel). If you can boarder or curb your road with anything that would help retain the gravel or crush and run and keep you from sliding off as well. Good luck guys! We enjoy watching.

[@foilrider2000]

3" down would be my choice.

I built a 2000W off-grid solar system 3 years ago and use it almost every day to run a big A/C in our lanai. This week I purchased a 2400W pure sine-wave inverter/ solar battery. I tried a smaller unit from Ecoflow, but it had problems, and Ecoflow technical service sucked so I returned it and got this bigger, better unit from Anker with the expansion battery. I already have eight solar panels. With a couple of solar panels and this Anker Solix 2000 767 solar battery, you could easily have the power to run your RV. I highly recommend this unit. Many vloggers that we watch, doing the kind of stuff you two are doing, were apparently given that unit for free to promote its sale. You should ask Anker about that.

Perhaps the remains of the old building at the top was a sign that living at that level was the place to be. The area at the lower level is always going to be very wet and somewhat swampy even if you knock down foliage and build a wonderful house. You likely are working against gravity. Well, keep trying if you can and want to. Good luck!

[@trfia]

I have a suggestion if you're still worried about grass growing on the edges of your wall. Pour a generous amount of salt on the edge. It will keep the weeds from growing. Not sure for how long it works but it works for awhile.

Months Ago! You were sent comments to get a Locking Rear Differential installed, to get a Front Trailer Hitch, and to Lower Your Tire pressure (12 PSI). Why ask for comments and help if you just ignore folks that have the experience and knowledge unless this is a "Show" and not real? The cost of those three items is very small compared to what your viewers can see what you spend on things. On sale a Harbor Freight Winch is under $600.00. You could move the world with one of those and few snatch blocks. Don't want to purchase a winch, for under &75.00 you could get a 5 TON come along. You already have a tow strap. Going tree to tree you could pull that Taco up that hill by yourself!

[@PPD55]

What you received is a "peastone" material, not gravel. Gravel would typically consist of a blend of several different sizes of sand, small stone, maybe up to a 3/4" stone, sometimes larger. The peastone that you received would not be the best for a driveway, Mat is correct, is would be like putting a truckload of marbles down to try to drive over.

[@loubonaparte5063]

[@davidclarke9570]

Guys, you should always put in your larger plant material in first then lay your landscape mat down. When I say larger plant material I am referring to perennial not annuals as in flowers. When you lay down the mat place it right over the plants and then go back and cut an X in the mat over the center of each plant now push that down over the plant and fold the edges under around the base of your plant material. Now go and put in your stone, bark or what ever mulch you are using down.

[@michaelcarron3418]

Matt, is there a gravel pit close by that you can order 10-ton loads to be delivered to your home site? If so order some 3- minus rock to fill the tire track ruts in with. That will work down into the soil to give a good base. A two-track base, so the tires have some traction.

[@DaveBrandt96]

You've spent enough on gate materials, gravel for mud holes, and two months of goat feed to have bought a nearly new catamaran.

[@phillockwood8414]

FYI - the type of rock you put down on your landscape is important. Natural gravel contains a preponderance of quartz. Four inches deep prevents 95% of weed growth from seeds. If you spread crushed stone that’s a calcium base (limestone or dolomite) weeds will grow in it. Because it is only one color, it’s probably crushed stone. A couple of inches of natural gravel on top will add all kinds of color while retarding weed growth. Get larger gravel and pretty accent stone and boulders to bring out the colors that you want. If you want ideas, I can email pictures. Although you may not understand what I am telling you, the difference in upkeep of your landscape is like day and night. Drop of hydrochloric acid on your stone will tell you if it’s limestone based. It will bubble if it’s limestone based.

[@stevemiller2348]

Matt if there's any construction going on close to you see if there's a pile of scrap sheetrock pieces you can haul off. Put it over the gravel you put down in layers, it will make a mess but work in to it like lime & set up like concrete in time. It's a cheap solution & will help keep your gravel & hard work from washing down the hill. Good luck,I love your show!!!

The landscaping looks great. I like it a lot. Such a clean look.

I’ve been a GBU homie since your Key West days when y’all impressed me big-time with your determined spirit and hard work you always put into making your dreams come true! And to this day - I’ve still got nothing but love, respect and appreciation for you both!! 👏🫶🏼💪🏼

Front end looks great. The drive way will be another episode. But lesson to be learned? Your supplier had to much of this gravel on hand and he stuck it to you. Obviously, either find another supplier, or stick it to him the next time.

I'm always so happy when there is a new video posted! Then I cancel all my plans and watch it straight away. 😀
