Why I'm Taking a Break from Youtube (the truth) - Pond Predators

Thanks to Renogy for sponsoring this video. LYCAN 5000 POWER BOX: renogy.sjv.io/.... I set up the full solar array on the log cabin roof to supply power to the cabin 24/7. I also test out a really interesting survival automatic fishing reel, cook a fish with offgrid technology, find all kinds of pond creatures, including pond predators, and talk about why I haven't been making youtube videos lately.

I have a similar problem. My digestive problems are also extremely similar to anxiety/panic attacks. My hands will get ice cold (sometimes even sweaty) and my stomach will hurt, and i feel almost like I'm having a panic attack. It usually happens about 30 minutes after I eat. Do you drink a lot of caffeine? I always thought it was the coffee.

Hey, you have to look after yourself first, if something happens to you then the channel is gone anyway, been watching you for years now and not going to stop now, as nice as it would be to have a Video every week I know it's not always a possibility when you have to deal with health issues, it's really great to see you back on camera and having a plan to get back into all of this, but the underlying thing here is your doing better and that is what's important, keep up the amazing work, be safe and have fun

[@boisinnawoods]

Here in the U.K. Heron don’t fish where other heron’ fish, so pond owners take to having a lifelike wooden heron statue made. This stays permanently at the side of the pond and deters any real heron from coming and fishing the pond. Maybe worth a try?

[@ddoherty5956]

Only thing I have found that put them off was fishing line on stakes round the edge of the pond.

Absolutely love the homestead updates! You and Kevin have totally outdone yourselves with the off-grid. Every time I see a new video it looks better and better. (The Male and Female definitely screw in eachother 😂) I truly am so impressed with the work you’ve put in over the years Chris. Very long time subscriber here, and I think it’s a real shame how some people have thrown in the towel and given up watching. Everyone is human, and you’ve been grinding on camera for so long. I don’t think some people understand just how much work actually goes into making fun videos. You’re a beast dude. I personally look forward to all of your content and your brothers channel is a great way to keep viewers occupied with rich and informative material too! Hope you know a lot of us are still in it for the long haul! Thanks for all the insane content you’ve given us. Much love dude!

Great to see you back Chris. Hope the meds work out for you and you can get back to enjoying the outdoors. Take all the time you need, will still watch any video you guys post. Thanks again for the positive content. Full Stop

[@craigculver1933]

Kris people in my family have struggled with similar problems and yeah it's no joke, seen my wife doubled over on the floor. Then the constant trials to get the meds right was tough. I have been watching you from the start and still when we have family over we check out your older videos, Puddle lake is a fantastic journey that we enjoy showing to people, They can't believe it was not produced by some big money corp. Always will have my deepest respect. We wish you well and hope you are 100% soon.

Thank you my Canadian friend, for continuing to share your journey.

[@robertdake594]

I am relalively new to your channel and I think it's very valuable content. Your presentations are down to earth & refreshing ! When I was a teenager I remember running trout-lines with my great uncle in some 'Bar-Pits' just inside the Levee on the mississippi just to the southeast of Baton Rouge where I grew up. Anyway seeing the fish problem in your pond made me think of some-o-those big buffalo fish my uncle and I would catch while out running those trout-lines. The bad thing about most of those buffalo fish even though they were large like a big red fish, was that you couldn't eat-em cause most of-em had worms ! I caught a big one while we were camping by the river one night and my uncle started laughing cause I thought I'd caught a nice big fish to wrap up in some tin foil to place right next to my baked-patatoe for supper! Then I learned why my uncle was laughing at my excitement!, he knew what kind-a fish it was and the reality was that I was probably gonna have to throw it back and catch me a cat-fish to go with that baked-patatoe on the edge of the coals back at the bond-fire up on the bank !

[@robertdake594]

Great to see you back man!! Hopefully things will work out with your health. You've been missed!

Great video, so many things I want to say. There's so much content in this! Firstly thanks for making the video. Secondly, watching it from my solar rig. Nothing as complex as your setup but still solar energy is cool. Finally, thanks for the explanation, not that any is required. Hope that you find the right balance. Your videos have helped me a lot over the past few years and none of us are getting any younger, and its unfair to expect our favourite KZbin channels to keep producing content ad infinitum. I hope you continue doing the videos as they endorse a philosophy that makes a lot of sense and always make me happy so thanks!

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

It’s great to see ya dude. I’m sorry to hear about the gut issues are giving you grief. My brain tumor is active once again, so I can definitely sympathize with feeling like an old man, especially near the end of a cycle. I drink the apple cider vinegar as well, and I agree that the taste is a bit strong. Cheers, Ken 🤙

[@dan_r2685]

Hey dude! Great to see you back and sorry you haven't been feeling well. I can relate as I've battled digestive issues for many years. Part of my relief from heartburn, at least, was ginger pills. For me they changed the burn and bloating dynamic. Love yr vids and best wishes for your feeling better! 💙

I'll look into that!

[@alexp6456]

@@TheWoodedBeardsman ginger pills are great. You should also try using vitamins like Betaine Hcl and use it with Dgl licorice root.

You can add acid taking HCL tablets before each meal. You can acquier them at health food stores possibly at the drug store/pharmacy. Take 2 with warm water about half hour before a meal. It is important to have a balance of acid and liver function as the liver/pancreas have the digestive juices after the stomach.

I hate that ur dealing with all this gut issues. I can't imagine how hard it would be to film the type of videos you did with the issues you had. Not to mention how doing it for money would turn it into a grind. Anything we love to do will be a grind when we do it for a living. I'll watch whatever you put out, on both channels.

[@avidhunter6169]

You could also add a rock wall around the pond. That will not only solve the problem of the rain washing in the edges but if you make it high enough so that there is a 2 to 3 ft drop to the pond bottom then the heron won't be able to step into the pond to go trout fishing,

Aloe vera gel tablets, take 2 or 3 before you go to bed, I was on medication for years and it was getting worse, Aloe vera was the only thing I tried that worked. I was able to taper off medication fully after 3 or four months it's been over 10 years with no medication. Cutting down on stress also. On solar I went to school 15 years ago one thing, any shadow even on the corner of a panel will cut the power on all the panels hooked on that circuit crazy how much power is lost.

Dead down wind makes a cedar oil spray that works fantastic for ticks, mosquitoes and all. No toxic crap like the others. Ticks have been especially thick here in Pennsylvania the last few years and it's worked far better for us than the deet, permethrin laced stuff. Glad you are feeling better. I was started on a new med for heart rate recently, as I've always had a slightly higher than normal heart rate, and, now in my 50's, it should be addressed. It caused me to have such awful acid reflux that it was actually painful. 3 weeks off of it now and I feel normal again, so I have an idea of what you went through. Prayers continue.

Hi. Good to see you back but take care of yourself first. Regarding the Heron, putting a wire trip line around the pond should keep them away. Because their knees bend backwards they can't step over things so as long as they cant land they wont go near if there's an obstacle. Be blessed.

I hope you feel better soon dude, clearly not being having a great time! Shame you can't keep up the channel. But I think we would all rather watch you make a video that you enjoy making and feel up for! Keep working on getting better, looking forward to more videos but take your time 👍

Hey Chris I have Esophageal Achalasia and when my symptoms first came on no-one had a clue what was wrong with me, I spent 2 plus years basically starving to death. I lost nearly half my body mass and when your 6'5" that is not good. My wife contacted the local university hospital and that's when we got answers and now I am back to a healthy weight and able to do all of my regular outdoor activity. Blessings to you and your family and just hang in there I will be praying for you. Jim B.

Chris, I was glad to see your video, yet saddened by your medical challenge. I mentioned your symptoms to my wife because she was/is experiencing the same circumstances as you mentioned in the video, but now she has been recovering from those issues. She stated to check into 'Leaky gut syndrome, a Dr. Steven Gundry has been a champion at helping people get through this problem. Yes, it is a heredity thing and it will take a couple of years to overcome it. I believe it is a worthwhile effort to check out. Neither my wife nor I are medical doctor, but I would like to see you get over this setback. I/We will be praying for you.
