เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 26 เม.ย. 2020
The Ranch is in West Texas, mountain time side, grow zone 7b, monsoon season is June 15th to September 30th. I will exploring alternative energy coupled with permaculture, alternative building methods, and various other subjects. The end results will be a learning center for anyone interested in visiting the ranch to see a variety of permaculture and renewable energy methods functioning as designed. The ranch will also host a peaceful setting for camping, cozy cabins, and a well developed mountain bike trail system.

How the pond looks after a little rain @Timeline Ranch.
The plant I didn't know what it was is Baccharis salicifolia. #homestead #nature #ponds #desert
Chihuahua desert off-grid homestead far west Texas. I'm glad it rained, but also a little disappointed I will not be able to dig on the deep area of the pond this trip.

Trees have no shortage of water, sunlight and protection from hungry critters. Just up to aeration, microbial life and build up of humus and worm population. When you live on-site with chickens, a garden, maybe fish, and compost production then things are really going to take off! 👍 Great progress from your hard work
Are you in contact with Shaun Overton who runs Dustups Ranch? He's doing something a bit similar
I have talked with him some, but we have different goals. I'm building an off-grid desert ranch that will be a learning center for anyone interested in visiting in the future. Thanks for watching the project.
Great! Always love looking at how the pond and the planting is progressing.
It's slowly coming together. A beautiful sight to see indeed. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
What’s the long term goal for your pond? Do you plan to put any fish in there like tilapia or will fish mess with the water for drinking purposes?
I do plan on introducing fish to the pond once phase one is done. I believe that when the pond is 25 feet deep, I will not have to worry about it going dry anymore. Thanks for watching the project.
amazing work lots of potential
Thanks for the compliment and watching, of course. Just give me enough time. I will make the magic happen.
Hope all of us get rain.
Yes, it's been very dry this past year. It will rain eventually. We just have to be patient. Thanks for watching as always.
SUPER interesting. what is the plan with the pond over all. just visual. or to use the water. also what about fish and wildlife. is the salt going to be a hinderance?
Thanks for watching the project. The pond is the key to everything working at the ranch. It will support all the trees that will be planted along it. It is also the water source that feeds the well I build. The wildlife already enjoys the pond that will only get better, I'm sure. As far as fish, I do plan to stock the pond later when it's 25 feet deep. I don't think the salt will be too much trouble.
Thankyou
No problem. I'm glad to share what's going on at the ranch. Thanks for watching as always.
Haven't watched this yet, but the fact i thought of him, searched for him, and the timing here, all make me think I should immediately share this with you. th-cam.com/video/2ToQGHMlOqs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=svs0_XYMlvZHZTmT have a great one brother 😊 Although, I'm not saying i agree with the term invasive. I think it's just monoculture without the work and chemical sprays/"ferts". PANGAEA!!! Sincerely though, Pangaea... And hopefully no global racketeering through crooked "Customs Laws"
I'll check it out when I have some time. Thanks in advance for the lead.
@TimelineRanch np brother, his content has some very rare intelligence, a couple of his shorts are on that playlist and they're phenomenal.
@williampatrickfurey I'm looking forward to seeing it. Unfortunately, intelligence is getting more and more rare these days.
@TimelineRanch yep, college tuition proves they want it that way. Interestingly enough, I never went. There's also a 123 yr old lightbulb that's still burning, possibly because of it's filament, to prove planned obsolescence.
Our Oleanders look the same and stay green all year long.
Yes, I know what you mean about oleander. We had some growing at one of my childhood homes. They are very poisonous, to most animals, though. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
@@TimelineRanch They were very well established when we got here but provides much needed greenery here in the desert. Luckily the dogs have enough sense to leave it alone. They are also pretty tough to eradicate with their root systems but probably easier than bamboo. Those roots are wicked!
@HalsPals Shade is Shade. They have nice flowers as well.
next time you do a walk around of the pond perhaps you could walk up the banks a little bit so we could see how far you're planning to dig into the hillside. i know you've told us in feet before but its difficult to visualise, a marker on the ground, a tyre, a painted rock, something, that you could then look back on would be interesting to see from a zoomed out perspective.
I'm saving all the money from the channel to buy a drone to use at the ranch. I think here in about three or four more months, I'll be able to buy a good drone. I thank everyone will appreciate the views I'll be able to capture with that, and it's easier to explain some of the bigger projects like the pond through that viewpoint. Thanks for following along with the project.
Little by little, it's all coming together Simon! 😊👍I may have missed it but have you pursued piping the water inside the cabin from your well yet? It's been real neat to watch the transformation happening! 😬👍
No, that is on my to-do list, but it hasn't happened yet. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.
When you said early Spring I figured this was last year. Im looking forward to see the trees doing very well this Spring. Thanks for making this beautiful oasis in the Chihuahuan Desert.👍✌️
There is still a lot to do, but I can see it taking shape. Thanks for following along as always.
Hi, have you ever used the Google lens function to take a picture of the unknown plant. It looks like a willow from my TV, haha. Looks rhizomatus too. My guess from the TV is desert willow
I think it's MuleFat, a willow lookalike
I have tried a few apps, but I had no luck on that one at the time. I found it later when I was reading a study on invasive species in the western regions. I put the name in the description of the video. It is mule fat or Baccharis Salicifolia. A very beneficial plant for a lot of insect species in the area. Thanks for watching the project.
You are correct, my friend.
@1millionpumpkins542 Thanks for following along with the project as always.
@TimelineRanch cool, glad you identified the plant. I like Xmas cactus volunteer!
Good to see your efforts paying off. Trees are hanging in there 🤝🏻
Yes, a little at a time, the magic is happening. Thanks for following along with the project as always.

Thanks for watching the project as always.
Early spring. We are still dead middle of winter. We have had good moisture, might start seeing green here mid to late March. Pond looks good. 👍
This video is from March of last year. I think this year in March, when I have a chance to go back to the ranch, the pond will be dry. Time will tell. Thanks for watching the project as always.
@@TimelineRanch😂. I see. Not spring in South Texas yet either.
@thewindmillgarden No, it will still be a while, and with as dry as it is, I think it will come later than normal this year.
Beautiful proof of concept that you have here for a plan of mine concerning ocean elements and enzymes(I've made a playlist). I've considered moats around housing in the desert for some time now (as there are still elements within hardpan that were there before the iodine deficiency and I don't believe it was just iodine that they were lacking and the same with us now). Let me know if you want more explanation, I think I've got some ideas that might lead to many things costing a penny again...I believe it's quite wasteful otherwise. (even if it were only just concerning time taken to count, but it's not). It's life saving time that gets wasted otherwise, it has to be a world thing. Not to mention even the idea of passing on practices of longevity or even the care afterwards... priority-wise... IF the leader's intentions are in the right place.
Water is the key to success in the desert. I think ponds and other means of water catchment are well worth the effort. Feel free to elaborate on your thoughts. I always find it interesting how other people's minds work. Thanks for watching the channel, as always.
@TimelineRanch which? Or let me know if anything specific and I'll link a playlist? IDK what's most efficient, the first step being AMPLE longevity and safety. I don't think God would've had any less for us...having to have dealt with these "constructs" of man(being baited or forced to grow infrastructure for industry, not habitat for humanity, while we are forced to live with our coworkers(strangers) rather than accomplish with and teach our own families...
@williampatrickfurey Whichever you'd like to elaborate on.
@@TimelineRanchth-cam.com/play/PL6CpB0HxCh-8TLtEV2GD-ErqNC71zQ7yb.html&si=J8r6gPTohj9ejh9r I haven't organized this fully yet, and there's not enough space to finish writing everything, even in the edited paragraphs in the long description (the heading should say: "... metallic iron inside of the Earth/🌎🌍" or something like that (maybe I had to replace the words with emojis for space, use them as place savers, or simply to make the truth more palatable and inspiring rather than scary to those who want good...similarly to "check ✅ stretchy battery 🔋 film 🎥") concerning Earth's free energy written in the long description, but I'm hoping there's more greatness added to it in the future anyway so I'm not rushing that aspect, moreso rather the fair portions of laws being accurately and honestly enforced on this Earth 🌎🌍 and otherwise.
Nice walk and talk 👍
I'm glad to share how the ranch is looking. Thanks for following along.
Walkthrough the lay of the land, close ups on things like plants with names and and future plans... This man should have many more viewers, I think.
@williampatrickfurey Thanks for the compliment. I try to share how things look in person and explain when it's hard to see through the video what is actually happening. I think with time, the little channel will gain more interest. The ranch will start to look more and more like an oasis.
@TimelineRanch I pray the whole Earth does, friend Oxford defines a prayer as an earnest hope or wish. Now I'm not saying that they got egregious correct, there's possibly a portion of law that's responsible for that definition change, but IDK fully, I just have some great evidence.
Let the spring flowers come!
There's always something blooming at the ranch, but spring is especially nice. Thanks for watching as always.
Winter ones too, I just considered "winter pursalane" again, but I want to say GALANTHUS NIVALIS, the snowdrop flower, apparently housed Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, a probiotic that helped people live into their hundreds without illnesses. It transports calcium out of arteries and puts it into bone(because all bacilli carry menaquinone) and it breaks down fat in the blood. If it can digest the fibrin, I believe that's every component of arterial plaque, which seems to lead to bone and brain problems (possibly because blood is made inside of the bone, and the brain is 60% fat). I believe government research shows it even performs functions of our DNA to save our body's energy. I believe there's possibly also a story about a Native American tribe that left greens outside of ant hills, possibly because of some particular ant's secretion, maybe the leaf-cutter ant's antimicrobial phenylacetic acid secretion. Either way, I believe they'd just make mycorrhizae with their fermented leaves underground, and that there's some kind of lizard(which usually eat a poisonous ant instead of the leaf-cutters) might be able to control their taking. I might not use them near where you live unless you have proper protection and a safe plan to find what's sniffing for blood near your property.(multiple reasons) I'd rather bring the cyotes out to get some lizards rather than my chickens, you know?
I enjoy the scenary and your motivation. Thanks
Thanks for watching one of the older videos. I'm pretty stubborn. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes not. West Texas has some beautiful scenery to offer for sure.
Just found your channel, Please consider adding some more information to your channel page, such as What part of Texas you're located in You USDA growing zone Yearly rainfall When your rainy season is ect. Thanks
Thanks for watching the channel. I'll add some more information that you suggested. I'm sure some other people would appreciate it as well. West Texas Mountain time side, grow zone 7b, monsoon season is June 15th to September 30th.
Impressive ranch property. How many acres in total. Hello from the Hill country .
Thanks for watching the channel. The ranch is 120 acers currently. I'm still planning on buying another 40 acers. I like the hill country as well, but the price for property is way too expensive for my budget.
Say Chief, I’ve learned a lot from your videos thank you, u get a lot done in one trip can’t wait to see what the year brings. See u on the next. Peace
Thanks for following along with the ranch build. I'm glad to hear you are finding some information useful from the projects. There will be plenty more to come.
Looking great!
Thanks for watching the project as always. It's coming along as little at a time.
Have you ever thought about just finding a old daycab and lowboy trailer? May be less maitience. But commercial trucks have all sorts of traction problems around our ranches, though
I have thought about other options, but the dump trailer works well for my budget. The other thing is that sometimes it's five months between trips out to the ranch, so leaving anything out here will be a maintenance issue as well. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
Your house is going to be awesome. Thanks for the update and the Texas sunrise. ☀️

Sounds like some good plans👌👌👍👍😊😊💗💗
Thanks for following along as always. It was a productive trip.
Thats quite a to-do list. Im sure youll knock it out though! Its looking great out there, crazy to see the 12ft6 hole filled already
I was surprised to see water in it too this time of the year it's not common to have not much rainfall. I usually don't finish my to-do list, but I found the bigger I make it, the more I get done, it seems. Thanks for following along with the project.
Beautiful land and projects. You mentioned cooking on the stove and needing to fill and seal the limestone. A two burner induction cooktop is pretty cheap and efficient. You can put it anywhere and keep your stove area natural and beautiful.
Thanks for watching the project and the compliment. I do have two induction cooktops I use at the ranch, but my battery bank is small, so I only use them during the day when I have plenty of power. The little wood burning stove is a nice alternative for the cold season anyway for cooking at night.
You don't have to use 4 T posts for each tree Simon. One or two pieces of rebar laced through the wire is all you need. Make your wire basket large enough in diameter that most of the leaves and side branches will be protected. But some deer pruning around the edges won't hurt. In fact, it helps to force energy into the central leader. Once the tree is out of the basket, you can recycle everything easily.
I'll keep that in mind on the next go round. Thanks for following along with the project as always and the idea.
Great to see new trees entering the picture. Can you have olives over there?
I did a little research into olive trees growing in Texas. The results weren't very good. I believe I'll still give them a try at the ranch to see how it goes. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
Ever productive! Really love how thoughtful you are on every detail.
I have a lot more time to think about doing work at the ranch than actually doing it for now, at least. Thanks for the compliment and watching as always.
@@TimelineRanch I've often found the time thinking and planning is what makes the actual doing effective. No doubt your long drives and time away from the ranch is helping the project in that regard.
@wojomojo In some aspects, I would agree, but the amount of productivity would drastically increase if I was at the ranch full time. In the ten years of working at the ranch off and on all the trips, don't add up one full year's worth of time. Imagine what the ranch would look like if I had been there for ten years working daily on it.
The stairs are gonna be nice
They are unique, I would say, and turned out, looking quite nice for what they were made from. It was a good bit of work, but the stairs will outlast me, and that's how I try to build things. Thanks for following along with the project as always.

I noticed at 5.43 and 6.05 that there are small shrubs or saplings growing on the side of the pond bank. Nature is colonising your hard work. Can't wait to see what the area around the pond looks like in a few years.
I'm sure it will be a beautiful sight along the pond. Yes, there is a good bit of growth starting already. Thanks for watching as always.

Who needs a wheelbarrow to move logs when you have a Kabota😂
I have called it my 70,000 dollar wheelbarrow a few times. Thanks for watching one of the older videos.
@@TimelineRanch Shortly before i turned 12 an old pecan tree in my parents backyard nearly died and 3 massive branches needed to be cut from the top of the tree. So... I got a wheelbarrow and a hachet for my 12th Birthday. Spent nearly everyday after school chopping those limbs into pieces with that little axe and carting the bits to a wood pile. Got it all finished by my 13th birthday, when I got a proper axe and new tire for the wheelbarrow. Ill never forget the wonder i felt at how much faster i could have worked if id had the Axe from the start😂 When i see what you can get done with that Kubota, truck, and dump trailer it just boggles my mind. Really impressive how far youve come and i really admire your grand vision! Really hope you can move out there full time at some point before you retire.
@tjgii1207 Good story from your childhood. I have some similar to that myself. Those are the types of things that make you a good, hardworking person later in life, though. The Kubota makes all the difference for sure.
