We Were Struck By an Ice Storm

[@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.

[@ellenhood1356]

Well at least Houston was having fun with his dad. Love the doggies, all 4 of them, that includes Bear😊

[@paulbarr3981]

Your day was a good one, a success. Twice Houstin said, "I'm having fun." That is worth a lot. And with his dad.

[@BigKev059]

it is always worth watching your video's Daniel

[@tammyschnedler7545]

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

[@cheryladams7945]

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

[@susandunn9154]

Houston is getting so mature.

[@jamesguinn5889]

As long as Houston had fun that's all that matters dad.😅

[@sandeepettit696]

Bear has such a sweet face 😍

[@RumMonkeyable]

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

[@Monica-f2l]

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.

[@melissasisson9237]

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

[@cari4958]

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

[@cathychamberlain4452]

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

[@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.

[@BeverlyRampart]

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..

[@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!😧

[@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

[@nancyhollis380]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@nealvaliant603]

We do!!😎🎣

[@elizabethphillips4334]

Houston's excitement is contagious.

[@vickiemounts2962]

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

[@judyfrey2975]

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

[@RaymondCoggins-xd2re]

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

[@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 ❤❤❤

[@grannyb5909]

Houston is a die hard fisherman!!

[@kimawelec1909]

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

[@dianswikert268]

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

[@alicenewc1725]

Thanks for sharing all your adventures with us all !

[@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😆😅😂

[@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!

[@moviemakerwannabe]

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

[@paulasweeney7358]

Daniel, you should borrow that movie Grumpy Old Men, show Houston the ice houses for fishing up north.

[@ronnavaughn2928]

You're such a good Dad, Houston is a lucky young man. Much love to all of you. ❤

[@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!

[@ardurbin2]

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

[@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.👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vickiherring5422]

Pepper is so precious.

[@LynnGorman]

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

[@kaffykines1654]

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

[@gracerodriguez7995]

Feel better soon ❤

[@peggybowe5556]

I love watching all your 'adventurous' videos! Keep'em coming! Stay warm & dry!

[@deeannfreeman7715]

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

[@royrostjr1352]

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

[@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.

[@scottarnold8311]

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

[@SandraRodriguez-ff2rz]

I live in Northwest Arkansas and we've had our share of it all. This week we have rain. Temps are better. So what God gives us we thank Him for it. And knowing we have a roof over our heads lights,heat and water and food and warm clothes. So I'm looking forward to the warmer weather like everybody else. Always enjoying your videos.

[@efhibbert]

What a beautiful dog, so full of energy❤

[@kellyschroeder7437]

Glad you have those 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@elainepeterson475]

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

[@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.

[@davidking5765]

I always enjoy watching you with your family it's such a joy to see your lad enjoying time with his dad.

[@colettegraham3073]

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

[@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. 🙋🏻‍♀️♥️🇺🇸

[@carolynmesser7199]

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

[@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😊

[@phyllisgabourel7506]

Daddy and Houston day on the 🧊 fishing and enjoying the day, you are an amazing father and I love your videos with the animals still looking to see RJ he will never be forgotten.

[@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.

[@deloresrogers685]

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

[@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.❤️🙏

[@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.

[@nadimnadim1965]

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. 😊❤😊

[@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.

[@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

[@ritahall8653]

Houston is happy with you no matter what you’re doing and I love it

[@marywillaby6663]

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

[@matthewmajercak5046]

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

[@gholmes2593]

You always make me smile. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤all of your videos.

[@clarkbruc3313]

I think its pretty cool that Houston said he's still having fun even if he wasn't catching anything great job raising him mr.arms 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@cooperlatterell]

We can drive trucks to the fish house in Minnesota

[@kathywilliamson223]

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

[@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.

[@debshaw3671]

Following people around the farm is nice. Feel better

[@leannekenyoung]

Houston you have such an amazing attitude all the time…I still had fun though …father and son spending time together priceless! God bless!🥰❤️🍁🇨🇦🙏🏻

[@karenlawrence1889]

Daniel the best video's are when you and Huston go out and hunt, fish and do things together. The best video's is when Charlie takes off running like a nut he is so precious. Your do Earl omg he is just a trooper and runs beside the side by side. Miss Bella but Earl and Jimma omg is a hoot. Have a great day stay warm and safe out there.

[@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.

[@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.

[@vivians9749]

Thank you for the video today!❤❤

[@Logan0o]

I had GSP most of my childhood and early adulthood, smart smart dog and very versatile. Great family dog!

[@jeannepotts45]

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

[@robertafunkhouser7535]

ME TOO

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@lynneboatright5610]

When there's ice on the ground in Savannah, GA, this old body stays inside. Of course,my.cats are inside only, so i don't have to go outside.

[@ImagineAsylo]

Oh Houston, you know your dad loves you when he goes out into the cold rain on top of ice just to make you happy!

[@Orca2019]

My heart jumped when Houston slid. Glad I didn't see him break the ice and fall in! I hope he won't have any adverse reaction to the dip. doggie trio is so cute. Kelceand his puppy enthusium is so cute. Daniel I hope you will recover soon🙏🙏 Thank you for todays video. I know you are enjoying the fireplace. My dream is a fireplace and a nice hot cup of hot chocolate!!🤗🤗💞💞💙💙

[@garykeaton9058]

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