[@lindasmith2935]

Any day you can get your son to say, "Dad, I had a good day even though we didn't catch anything" is a great day with good memories.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

That's very true.

[@jennifermastin7169]

Heck out STANDING STONE KENNELS …they have tons of great content on training for GSP’s… looking forward to more content with sweet Kelce K.❤❤❤congrats Arms family on your new addition

[@deniceplunk3210]

It's just a good day when your son wants to be with you ❤❤😊

[@deniceplunk3210]

Yes AND Kelsey is SO CUTE I absolutely love the energy lol ❤❤❤😅😊

[@yvettezollinger1616]

I’m suggesting a Rufus and RJ with angel halo’s shirt. RJ is already missed in your video. I’m tremendously sorry for your loss.❤

[@loisarrowood9733]

I want one. Have been wearing my Rufus/RJ shirt to honor the babies.

[@tammyschnedler7545]

Houston still had a good day! Any day spent Father & Son is a Good Day!!

[@melissasisson9237]

Too cold for fishin’! But time together is priceless.

[@Wilddaylilies]

I agree with Houston. It is pretty cool and beautiful. I say it’s the perfect day on the farm. Making memories with Houston ice fishing and a warm fire waiting in him when he gets gone.

[@RumMonkeyable]

You're a good Dad, Daniel. You went ice fishing, even when you didn't want to.......Love your wood burning stove! 👍👏✨😍❤

[@kayelowe4333]

🥶🥶🥶🥶Looks so cold and I’m sure it is, animals look nice and warm! Nothing like a fire in the fireplace, cup of coffee and a puppy! Be safe on the ice and God bless your family and farm !❤️🙏🏻

[@alisonlightner866]

Stay safe and warm Daniel, make some chicken soup put some pepper flakes in it and get Vicks'd up.

[@ccurry1760]

I've been ice fishing in Minnesota after months of < -10 F temps. it makes me nervous to see you & Houston walking on slushy ice on the creek. Be careful!😧

[@cari4958]

That puppy is so cute. I couldn’t help laughing while she was playing/harassing the other dogs.

[@FeatheredLife]

Grew up with ice fishing dad. Rule#1 is never ever go on the ice of flowing water. That means creek, river, stream, even lakes with springs in them. Here's the reason why: that ice is super fragile tends to crack very easily. One big crack you are frigid water that bloody darn cold. And if the water is flowing faster then you think, you can be pulled under the ice and die. If nothing else you get huge case of hypothermia. Better to be SAFE then SORRY.

[@user-zh2ku5ys4q]

Yup husband and I use to ice fish in Wisconsin and use to go to Minnesota also ice fishing to. Like you said never go where there is moving water that is froze over..

[@sandeepettit696]

Bear has such a sweet face 😍

[@elizabethphillips4334]

Houston's excitement is contagious.

[@patriciahermelink2913]

LOL! Earl is so patient! Kelce is getting so big! 😊 It looks raw cold 🥶

[@valeriestevens5250]

It looks like Earl is stepping into Bella's paws. One of the first AFH KZbin videos that I remember watching had Bella in the background gently playing with a very young and rather insecure Bear. It looked like she was trying to make a somewhat bewildered puppy feel more at home. Earl was so sweet with Izzy's kittens and now Kelce.

[@cathychamberlain4452]

I can’t believe RJ is gone! He was so entertaining & such a character. Such a sad loss. 😢

[@beckydoran-adams2633]

Houston's excitement is so fun to watch. His love of fishing is contagious!! Glad y'all are enjoying the weather 😊❤

[@katkassidy6983]

He'll remember many fun times when he is an adult and his life will be less exciting.

[@Nirrrina]

I love getting to go along without actually going out into the cold.

[@nancyhollis380]

So give us an update on how Weston has been and what he has been doing.

[@crispoutdooradventures3904]

Coming from a Texan here, I am glad someone from Oklahoma finally admitted that they don’t know where they fit in! Lol y’all be safe out there. Don’t miss those ice storms at all.

[@T-J-C]

Louisiana here... not southeast, not southewest, not sure what we are... southcentral I guess 🤷‍♀️ We'll just hang with you Texans on this.

[@cathytuffley5472]

How many alpacas do you have left? Is there only two?

[@JameAndy-zd9kw]

O

[@susanangell1991]

​@@cathytuffley5472they have 3, 2 females and one male

[@phyllispitts6656]

My husband is a letter carrier for the post office. He uses those snow spikes you had on your boots when we have freezing ice and/ or ice sleet.

[@vickiherring5422]

Pepper is so precious.

[@grannyb5909]

Houston is a die hard fisherman!!

[@kathiefrommissouriusa1462]

We had your ice storm reach us during yesterday’s early AM hours. Many schools were called off & a lot of other things were closed. My hubby was the ONLY one who made it into work, until noontime 2hen the owner’s son went in. I let the 4 dogs out mid-morning & they all went skittering down the 4 patio steps. Then when they came in, two of them fell flat on their little faces! But all were OK. Luckily we didn’t lose electric or water.

[@ardurbin2]

Having lived in DFW area for years, ice storms are KILLERS!

[@cweir4471]

I’m glad you attempted ice fishing! We would happily welcome you to WI for some winter fishing! Houston doesn’t need to go as far as Alaska… 😂

[@donnafischer5647]

Minnesota would also welcome both you and Houston for some ice fishing 😅 after all we are the land of 10,000 lakes😆😅😂

[@royrostjr1352]

Hello there Daniel and Houston God bless you and your family members 🙏🙏 always a pleasure watching you guys ❤🙏

[@mamabear1260]

I L❤ve your videos Daniel. It brings back good memories of when I grew up on the farm. I should have married a farmer. Hope you feel better tomorrow. Many Blessings ❤❤❤

[@kimawelec1909]

I am so in love w/Earl❤. I had a Doodle for 15 yrs. and watching him makes my heart happy.

[@amberalexander6692]

We got the ice after 8 inches of snow in middle TN! It shut us down. It was in the negative temps. No fun at all! Glad everyone is hanging in there.

[@joycechivis6317]

Feel better soon, Daniel!

[@nwb2795]

Pepper was relieved when you told him he didn’t have to get up!! Hahahaha 😂😂

[@bowed305]

Awww, Steve the assassinator. 😥 lol Thanks for sharing this with us. Looks like y'all made the most out of what some folks would call a bad situation.

[@carolnoe9037]

My nephew's friend told someone the pond was frozen enough to drive on. He made it all the way around until he had to go around a stump. His vehicle busted through the ice. 😢

[@RaymondCoggins-xd2re]

Awesome video The time spent just goofing around with your kids is priceless

[@RyanPerkins-lm7cb]

Your videos always make me Smile! I Love all the Farm animals and the Dogs! Kelce is Too Cute and Hilarious wrestling with Earl and Gemma! You said your nose was running so you better go catch it! 🤣 You Have a Beautiful Home and Family! Love the videos! I’ve been watching old videos I hadn’t seen before since I’ve only been a subscriber for a couple months! I watch your videos more than I watch TV! God Bless!

[@juliehagan3853]

Actually, this video was pretty informative. I learned about yak tracks and will look into getting some cause I live in Illinois. Also learned varmints don't move around much during this type of weather. Also happy to see Houston had fun in this good weather and keeping a good attitude with not catching anything. So, through just my observation, it was an exciting video, thank you.

[@christinawoods9306]

Earl and Gemma are so patient. My 15 yr old weenie basically taught my puppy respect real quick. When Gemma gets over it she will naturally check kelcee

[@gramnenew6196]

So sorry for RJ’s accident. I was wondering why Fancy is still with Steve and not back with the other girls? Sweet little Kelce looks just like my grand doggie Belle. Very petite and full of energy. ❤

[@corinnecreswick1280]

It wasn’t an accident, RJ was way to young to be in with a mature Jack.

[@timothychristian9140]

Praying you feel better soon Daniel. I started out the same way two weeks ago and ended up with RSV and pneumonia. When it grabs hold of ya, it doesn’t want to let go. I still haven’t completely recovered from it but I am feeling much better. Stay safe, stay warm, GOD BLESS and see y’all on the next one.

[@scottarnold8311]

You guys have a dog day care ❤ that is cool great video .

[@nadimnadim8531]

Just so you know Houston we drove on the ice in Colorado to ice fish inside a tiny shelter. We even had a heater going so it was quite comfortable. You don't have to go to Alaska to drive on the ice. Take care my friends and keep up the great videos. 😊❤😊

[@tracysmith7935]

We loved ice fishing on lake superior, the Minnesota lakes and northern Wisconsin lakes Houston. You do what you do where you live. We do where we live in our own areas. Make fun outdoors wherever you are.

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm

[@LynnGorman]

Houston had fun fishing, even if he didn’t catch anything. He was with you, and that is all that mattered.

[@carolynmesser7199]

Be careful of pneumonia Daniel.Hope you feel better soon.👍🏾🙏😊

[@janetclaireSays]

My son and his family live in Salem, OR and they had 4 days of this ice last week with roads that were not drivable - 3 snow days for my 4 year old granddaughter!

[@maryclark7133]

Good afternoon from Dallas Oregon. We had the same situation. We got snow, lowest temp here at our house was 19, today it is in the mid 50's. Be safe, have a blessed day. ❤❤❤😊😊

[@peggyhaines7394]

Huston here in Michigan ice fish 🎣 every winter. And we drive 4-wheelers and snowmobiles and some really silly people drive there Trucks. 🛻 God bless and keep Trapping. PS. We have been seeing a fox 🦊 around our chicken coop. Bought a fox trap and scent. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. 🙋🏻‍♀️♥️🇺🇸

[@deloresrogers685]

Puppies are so much fun!! The wood stove is so warm n comfy!! 😊😊❤❤❤

[@lioness5297]

We had it last week here in Texas!!! I stayed put. We were @ 17 degrees. My pipes froze, only over night!!

[@kathywilliamson223]

Houston kept saying,"but I still had fun". That's cool for him to experience sliding around on the pond.

[@marywillaby6663]

You definitely made me smile today with the video of Kelce and Earl!!

[@jeannepotts45]

We get a lot of ice every winter. Wish I had a pair of those things for my shoes.

[@robertafunkhouser7535]

ME TOO

[@gracerodriguez7995]

Feel better soon ❤

[@celticfiddle7605]

It is a lot easier to stay home and be calm in an ice storm freeze when you are prepping and prepared.😊

[@matthewmajercak5046]

I live in Pennsylvania I have yak- tracks love them be safe out there ❤

[@colettegraham3073]

We really enjoy your videos. Hope you start to feel better. Y'all have a wonderful evening.

[@marthagaluszka8888]

Country life is the best! Kids learn about life and there's so many adventures! That's how I was raised on an OK ranch.

[@kellyfoster8903]

I'm in south western Oklahoma and we only got rain and is still currently raining. Yall stay safe and warm over there❤❤❤

[@angelpony1657]

You too!!! 🙏🏻

[@judyboston6877]

My husband and I love our ‘YAK-TRAX’. Have really worked wonderfully when we have to be out walking on our icy driveway. Be safe.❤️🙏

[@debshaw3671]

Following people around the farm is nice. Feel better

[@moviemakerwannabe]

Thank you for taking us along so we could see the adventure while seated in our nice warm homes.

[@budcanter9747]

Great memories with your son!👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸

[@garykeaton9058]

Daniel you and Houston out spending time together makes a great video thanks everyone take care

[@deeannfreeman7715]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Feel better asap Daniel. God Bless ❤️🤗🙏💞

[@karenshellhammer1591]

In NY we were watching people racing their motorcycles over the weekend on the frozen bay and ice fishing. They have to use an auger to drill through the ice. They put up tents around the holes to stay out of the wind. However the police were warning people to be careful of moving water under the ice because they had to do a lot of rescues. Be careful on the ice as I am sure you are. It was a fun video. The puppy is a handful. I don't think the older dogs appreciate all that energy. 🤣 Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@kaffykines1654]

It can be just watching you and family doing the simple stuff on the farm. I enjoy good clean life!

[@annettebeavers7866]

Looks like you all are having some bad weather! Be safe out there. Sorry for your loss! Praying for you, I'm going to miss RJ.👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pamp5797]

Oklahoma is Southern. And boy howdy did you get the ice storm. Back in the 1950's when we lived in Sulphur mom took pictures of a total frost. Every twig on the trees were fuzzy looking with frost.

[@JuneSmith-pk4zc]

Chain a disc harrow to the forks on your tractor. Use it to break ice and give traction. Grader blade on the back scraps ice off😊

[@user-zf4xt4nj6q]

They are great I use them when it’s icey.

[@cherylharrison6588]

Hello Daniel, I liked watching you break up the ice. Wearing the Yak Tracks is a great idea to keep you from slipping on the ice. Hearing about RJ was very sad because he was a miracle from Rufus. Death is a part of life for people and animals. Kelsey is a very cute little puppy and will be trained to be a good hunting dog when he gets bigger. I loved watching the dogs play together. Houston really doesn’t seem to like the cold weather, until you mentioned being home from school and ice fishing then you could see the smiles come out…lol. Have fun ice fishing. Have fun spending time with family is worth all the cold weather. Hope you begin to feel better soon. Have a wonderful week and May God Bless You and Your Family.

[@alicenewc1725]

Thanks for sharing all your adventures with us all !

[@trudiharmon7640]

Daniel the things you do to create a video. So creative and hats off for filming in those icy conditions it looked so so cold. Hope it didn’t last too long and it’s warmed up a bit by now. Take care and stay inside hope you feel better soon Daniel. God bless🙏💕

[@tinaparrish6930]

In some plays they have trees coming down because of the weather and ice.

[@skiptallman2672]

Agreed. Creek diving is a summer sport.

[@ourfamilysvarietyshow]

I miss the ice storms they leave things especially the trees looking beautiful

[@kellyschroeder7437]

Glad you have those 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@celesteredding1550]

😂😂oh the joys of a new puppy yelping. Love your wood stove ❤. Being adult weight, I'd be nervous walking out there too Daniel. Great video Daniel, Houston & animals of all kinds 😊.

[@patriciahermelink2913]

Yea. Same here in KS. Looks like you got it worse. Hope your animals are okay. When we were kids we would get ice storms so bad in StL that we would ice-skate the whole back yard! 😊

[@cheryladams7945]

I agree, summer things in the summer and winter things in the winter 😊

[@dianswikert268]

Houston's smile 😊....made the vlog.....feel better Daniel😊

[@gaylegooding2436]

OMG, that little Kelsey is adorable! I loved it when she was trying to get Earls bone and Earl wasn't moving it all.😂

[@juanitaziegler7016]

We had the same thing here in East Texas. Then in the 60s for a day, now raining, my pond is almost full. Been in a drought for ever Thank you Lord for the rain.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals.

[@lookingforbluewater6162]

Hope you feel better!!❤️‍🩹

[@davidscott8400]

Were getting it tonight

[@angelpony1657]

Stay Warm, Be Careful And Break Out The Hot Chocolate With Marshmallows!!! 😇

[@debs46805]

I LOVE my Yak Tracs! I've had some for atleast 20 yrs and it makes it possible for me to get out in the ice/snow. I will be 65 yrs. old soon and it would be impossible for me to get out without them. I even bought some for family members a few years back.

[@dontaylor3039]

When I was young we lived near lake Erie we always drove out on the lake and iced fished out of a warm car

[@dontaylor3039]

Make Houston some tip ups for ice fishing

[@TentoesMe]

Fun with Houston on the creek is ALWAYS a great video. Oklahoma is considered "Mid South." It seems Midwestern here, but the Kansas border separates Midwest from Midsouth.

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Our pond froze over for days. It was so cold here in Missouri. It’s finally warming up! Thankfully

[@grannydumpling5218]

Daniel, What a priceless memory Houston has because you let him ice fish in his creek in Oklahoma. And then he tells you he had fun today. Not many fathers take time to have a relationship with their children, much less talk to them during the week. My dad never and I mean never made any effort to acknowledge me. Maybe because I was a girl, I’ll never know, but you are showing others what a dad should be to their children. I’m 73 now and he died about 17 years ago, and I haven’t missed him, because I didn’t know him. I think your channel is one of the healthiest, and family friendly videos on KZbin. Thank you and DeeJay for being parents to show love to your children. A Texas neighbor

[@karenbishop9819]

Earl makes me smile❣ also, Danielle, you’re making wonderful memories for Houston🥰

[@judyfrey2975]

I still love watchiñg ur Video,s Arms Family Homestead .Judy , From The Westside of Cleveland Ohio 👍👍 👀 y,all next time !!

[@vivians9749]

Thank you for the video today!❤❤

[@vickiemounts2962]

Hearing Houston say “but I’m still having fun” is enough ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@beverlysmith2407]

Bear is such a sweet, good boy! Give him some love for me.😊❤

[@elainepeterson475]

Everyone is safe, and Ice storms are the worst of the Storms, hard to drive and just walk. I like your Yak Tracks❤

[@j2muw667]

We got a 9month dog from the human society- said it was a German short hair… a year later a new vet said it looked and seemed more like a Catahoula leopard dog…. Yup. So much energy! And very smart! He was gun shy so was probably why he was at the shelter.

[@BigKev059]

it is always worth watching your video's Daniel

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Daniel. Glad yall made it through the ice storm. Animals are looking good. Houstons pup is adorable and full of energy Thanks for sharing your trapping God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@sherricallahan2539]

When I was a teenager (about 100 years ago 😂) the Lake’s around us would freeze so hard you could drive on them. We would snowmobile on them and ice fish. Back then, the cold didn’t seem so bad, but I can’t stand it now. I’m ready for Spring!😂🤣😂
