Using the Trees on Your Small Farm - The Farm Hand's Companion Show, ep 3

[@GarmanyRachel]

I'm loving this channel! Artistically shot and edited, funny, educational and good music to boot.

[@farmhandscompanion]

I appreciate that, Danae; and thank you so much for takin' time to watch

[@kurtlanford1448]

The slingshot was too cool ! Thanks for all you do sir!

[@nancygorman]

I think folks need to hear each time that you do the music with home made instruments! BRAVO! YOU ARE AMAZING!

[@ricklarade3593]

man, you got to make more of these videos, they are wonderful to watch.

[@lmd2454]

I have to say...you win KZbin!!! These are the most charming and informative videos I've seen yet!

[@farmhandscompanion]

What a kind thing to say, Lindsay. I very much appreciate you watchin'!

[@bryby216]

You sir, are an inspiration to me. I am 14 years old and it is my dream to run a homestead, and be self sufficient. Or well, as self sufficient as possible. Anyway, i just wanted to thank you for you videos and good luck on building up your farm.

[@no8592]

You're 21 now

[@bradhill5415]

I love all your videos! I'm addicted to watching them. I also admire how honor the good Lord in what you do, and how your notes mention things that reflects on Jesus. I'm from northeast Tennessee and would love to live this lifestyle. I am curious as to why you packed up and left your family homestead and moved to Arkansas? Thanks and God bless!

[@danah.320]

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching many of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@farmhandscompanion]

Glad to do it, Dana! Thanks for watchin'

[@Ridley369]

I've been cutting down loblolly pines, and using them for gateposts, after discovering that's also the tree that utility companies use for electric/phone poles, because of its resistant to rot, similar to cedar!

[@farmhandscompanion]

They DO use pines for utility poles, but only after heavily treatin' 'em chemically, Ridley. But the loblolly pine is not rot resistant.

[@Shambala_G]

Heart warming inspiration and education - thank you friend 💚🙏👍

[@farmhandscompanion]

Hey there, Sharona, TN's a great state to live in; very different and fertile land types from west TN (where I lived...no rocks, few hills) to east TN (many rocks, many hills or mtns) and everything in between. You'll find successful homesteading there no matter where you end up. Very best wishes to you and your husband!

[@dajlfdkl]

thanks so much man. helpful information and great sense of humor. we all appreciate it.

[@ArtistryBranson]

OK, now you talked about all these types of trees, and when you got to the Bodark Tree, my wife and I were both tryin' to figure out just what you meant. The we saw the brambles and the big green "seeds" and we figured it out. Those are hedge-apples! At least that's what we call 'em here in the Ozarks. They also keep bugs and other critters out of your house. Hedge-apples - God's own critter-repellent! Great videos!

[@justmetony]

OK, when is the next one coming out. I like the way you do these. watched the first one, and then the next two followed. Now I want to see what you are doing next on your place. It sure helps me get motivated about doing the things I want and need to do around my place. Keep up the good work.

[@ArtistryBranson]

We will indeed - and thanks again for the great videos; we're fans!

[@ChazAshim]

Absolutely love your videos. Keep on doing what you are doing! Subscribed and liked

[@jetle25]

I like that you don't talk in these videos. It actually makes it more interesting and funny.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

[@dylandavis2713]

Love the show! Always good to see a fellow Arkansan on the youtubes!

[@summerrawls3610]

I loved your videos so much now me and my husband are really in the mist and ready to go, I would like to know how was it in Tennessee because that's where our Homestead will be.

[@realoz9419]

[@Vsshooter]

I really enjoy your videos and look forward with baited breath for the next one. They way you use your tools reminds me of books by Eric Sloane.

[@farmhandscompanion]

Well, hey there, Granberg International! Thank you for such a good product (and customer service, too!) Be sure and keep up with the progress of the workshop in future episodes. All the boards for rafters, trusses, walls, battens, and lathe will be Alaskan Mark III (24 inch) sawn! Yours, Pa Mac

[@granberginternational]

farmhandscompanion Looking forward to seeing your progress!

[@yochanantov5490]

Great videos! Thanks! Jn.3:16

[@farmhandscompanion]

Thanks jetle25! I kinda feel the same way. Yours, Pa Mac

[@farmhandscompanion]

That's right, Matt. In fact there's several other names for it, too. Check out my article on bodark trees at the Farm Hand's Companion website (The "Trees n Wild Plants" section) to see that and much more about this particularly useful tree. Take care, Pa Mac

[@ulysses5000]

we had a Bodark removed from our yard. it tore their equipment up. also it took 2 1/2 days for them to get the job done. it was a very large tree that was slowly dieing.

[@abaddon2479]

Just realized that I got some Osage trees in my woods

[@hollylaw8272]

Where might we get a copy of those barn plans? :) Thanks! God bless! From your neighbor 2 hours above you in MO.

[@alanbloodworth2653]

Nice sling shot. Have you ever read any Patrick McManus? He has a great story about a big sling shot. I think you'd enjoy his humor. Hope 2015 is a great year for you.

[@farmhandscompanion]

Alan Bloodworth Thanks so much, Alan! You have a great year, too.

Love your videos, style and humour! By the way, please, could you tell me what music is playing in the back? I'm fond of it! Thanks in advance and best wishes for 2016. :)

[@farmhandscompanion]

+Oriane G. Hey Oriane G., The songs used in the show are all tunes I arranged and played on homemade instruments. For more details, mash here: www.farmhandscompanion.com/the_farm_hands_companion_show/the_music_of_the_farm_hands_companion_show.html Thanks for watchin'!

[@jalynnefuentes3342]

I bought your music. I smile when I play them because I remember your videos.

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

The best ground contact timber is a bit rare, but redwood buries the other 3 in rot, fire and insect resistance

[@ChainsawSquirrel]

I have a bunch of hackberry trees are they good for anything other than spewing sap that turns black on everything it touches LOL

[@farmhandscompanion]

Other than firewood, if milled it'll make for nice boxes or crates (small grained and rather light weight).

[@Karin6509]

Interesting and good info. I wish there was narration though. Binge reading 17 videos would not be fun.

[@nigelvonkoechel8271]

more videos please - quite a dry spell there
