Are you guys old enough to remember Home Improvements "Tim The Toolman"? Well Ben with his chain weed wacker just reminds me of him! LOL.
I LOVED Tool Time!! *Grunt grunt grunt* ~Meg
Just remember what happened to Art from Art&Bri when he tried to put wire on his string trimmer!
@@TheHollarHomestead That's the one! Did you ever think then that you'd end up marrying him? LOL.
Reminds me of the Red Green show.
More power!
Having pigs in the water will tramp it down so it will hold water like a small pond, ask a old farmer and they will tell you if the pond leaks, put pigs in and they will make it solid and always hold water.
Bambirita : I’ve heard that too, except about cows.. I looked at a property a couple of years ago that had a dry pond, and the owner just said that if I fed the cows in that spot, they’d tramp down the bottom of the pond...who knew?🤷♀️
@@ldg2655 Yes, I have read that about the cows doing the same for the ponds
Was going to add this comment also. Leave the spring 'cover' so the pigs dont tramp down that and cut off the water, but let them tramp down the earth and you'll have a nice little water area.
Known as puddling when making a clay bottom pond.
Thanks for the lesson y'all! So the people in my town who spent ALLLLL that money on their fancy pond a few times for it to NEVER hold water should of just put some pigs in for awhile!!! Poor people lol.
Thank you so much for putting on eye protection! It irks me to see homesteaders who neglect that important part....I can tell you work professionally with sharp things
You should get the drone up sometime and show us a different view of all the progress you guys have made so far, then in fall you'll have something to look back on to see how well you've done
ahhh, how I wish one day to have a woman and she tell me, my pigs are out of control and just laugh with joy at the silliness of it all.
Autarky Bear Someone is romantic
If you leave a little of the forest to itself you will have medicinal plants in the Spring. They grow naturally here.
Everything needs to be done...you’ll get back to the mobile home when it’s the homes turn. You are only one person. Ben you are so smart. If. It doesn’t work invent something else
Ben has a lot of will power no doubt.
G’day beautiful people, my name is Jill and I’m from Australia. I have been following your videos from the very start from when you started traveling on the road around the US looking for a place to start your homestead. Great footage well done.
Wow you have come such a long way.....I love your property looks beautiful there. You have had some ups and downs which would be expected, You amazing, you have done so very well. A lovely family, hard working, including your amazing boys. You just get the job done and your pace is wonderful.....just enjoy and don’t burn out.....You should be so proud, all of you. You inspire me, I love watching and really look forward to the next one. JB xx
Jb promo: is Australia still burning? Horrible to see footage of the fires. I Hope and pray all is well.🇺🇸
You two are a fabulous team together. You truly compliment each other.
Meg your smile is just plain terrific! May God bless your Hollar Homestead!
Know you have done well. The truth.
One of the other homestead channels I watch used pigs to make their pond hold water.. they were told to let the pigs wallow in the water and stomp down and compact the mud and their pond would hold water better. It worked..
It's called gleying, you can do it with water fowl too!
I'm cool watching the bacon seeds, and your hard working clearing your land.
You can ignore your house work for couple days and it’ll still be there. You ignore your animals for couple days they will start looking for there own way, which can cause death or injury or they will run off. So animals need tending cause that’s your food. Loving all the progress you guys are making.
Can I borrow that contraption for my daughter's bedroom?
Bird Chirp wahahahahahahaha! You must have a teenager !
You are going to have the loveliest tree covered pasture land after a few years. Pigs are the best, and sowing clover and other pasture seeds after them is a great move.
Justin Rhoades had a video where a commercial-level, permaculture pig farmer used his pigs to till in his cover crop by throwing it around the last day or two they were in an area. He said that anything smaller than corn will be ignored by the pigs.
Oh, the pigness of pigs. Food is THE ultimate motivator.
A homestead is a place where things get done incrementally, at a steady pace. 😬👍
Al Lumnah at Lumnah Acres has made lots of innovate, mobil animal carts, all with their own water collection and storage incorporated into the design. Happy pigging!
That was so cute about today is tomorrow.
Who knew they can do magic as well as homestead.
Probably one bad time clearing and then it will be just touch up year after year. As always....so happy for your family. Thank you.
I love the way you rotate the pigs. If we ever take the plunge I think that’s how we’ll do it too!
Wow momma pigs were mad at you!! Lol enjoyed your vlog! Have a great week
Nice new paddocks for your bacon bits. That clearing tool is serious business!
Thank you for showing us that chain whip device. I wondered about it after you first mentioned it. Another TH-camr, Bakers Green Acres, cleared brush with his hogs and gave them access to an overgrown spring. His hogs actually cleared around the spring and improved it with their rooting. You might try letting your pigs work on your spring as well, to see if you get similar results. They certainly can't damage it.
Have you considered rain water harvesting on the pig house? Then it could move with the house to each paddock. I am excited every time I see a new video from you on my playlist. Thanks for the content.
YOu need to patent this thing,
MoiNature Can you imagine the lawsuits from idiots?!
I have to tell you, as soon as I see you have posted, I drop everything to watch your latest adventure! Love the finger snap effect! Looking forward to the next episode.
My grandfather used to say. "THE TWO worst noises in the world. A justified angry wife and a pig with nothing left to dig up."
Hahahaha
Hilarious
Dead 🤣
Hence, the bowling ball
Who says pigs can't communicate ?!!!!! You just got yelled at Hahahaha. Can you show us the "cat vine /bulb" when you find another one. N C has such amazing native flora.
I think I saw those thorns on Townsend, they were used as nails at times in the 1800's.
& needles
Townsend is a amazing channel!
Indians did use then to poke holes in hides so they could be sewn together.
Looking good!!. Thanks for taking us along on the journey!!
Now that looks familiar! I use a saw blade on a brushwhacker though. They have handlebars so they are very steady, and I can take down up to 4" trees. Way easier than a chain saw or loppers. Take care of the re-sprouts or it will all grow back 5 times as thick though!
Two things you probably already know: 1. catbriar (smilax) sprouts taste like asparagus (yes, I have eaten it) and 2. if you get poison ivy on your skin, either pour rubbing alcohol over the affected area or blot with alcohol-soaked cotton balls to disperse the ivy oil but Never Ever rub because that spreads the irritation.
A bleach wipe works too, about a 10% solution...but, you wipe, give it 10 minutes, then rinse the area.
Dish soap or shampoo will clear off the urishiol oil which causes the poison ivy rash. Most other things will just spread it around more.
So happy for you folks that you are figuring things out as to what works best. If it doesn’t work, make something that does! Great lessons for your sons! 🥰
Yep Meg and Ben, we are cheering you on! :)
Find some hickory for the handle or even an old gum tree and if you feeling frisky get a metal detector and go and find an iron wood tree
Those out of control pigs are doing a wonderful job! LOL. I just loved that intro!
Ben you have a beautiful family your a lucky man.. love the way you too work together, it's a beautiful thing... God speed
Great job with your weed eater attachment that you made.
put a patent on it so you can make mega bucks hugssssss from Ontario Canada
Wow, the stuff you can create! That "chain wacker" looks effective!
Wow that thing is lethal!!! Do the pigs ever get thorns?
They don't seem to care at all!
It's looking so good! You have gotten a ton done! My two year old LOVES the pigs.
I think it’s amazing how much they clear out
Love your channel! Pigs are so valuable on a farm! The electric fencing is the best thing we discovered for our pigs! We loved having the piglets but having a momma and a boar was more than we bargained for (my wife got a risk in the leg)
It's a PIG DEAL! LOL
Y'all seem so happy out moving the pigs. I know you want to get the mobile home done too hoping it comes together without too many hiccups. Looking forward to the next vlog!
Smart move outside now then trailer during summer you can use air conditioner when its hot
Patent that thing quick! You will be the next billionaire selling those LoL 💜
Yep, animals first, house after. You got it. Good to see you again 🥰
So how do the pigs clear the land. Do they eat it?
Yes, they eat a lot of the roots & vegetation when they root around.
Your content and editing skills (which have been great all along) are superb!!! I had to crack up at the snapping of the fingers and it was tomorrow. LOL I'm so happy for you and get all excited when I see you have uploaded a video!! Plzzzzz keep them coming when you can...THANK YOU again for taking us along on YOUR journey!!! Love the whole family :)
Doing good clearing the forest! Hope you can eradicate the poison ivy. My husband is loving Ben's invention. Need to patent it and get some for sale!
Unfortunately you cant patent an item if you have shown it to the public
Love ❤❤ snapping fingers to skip to the next day! "What that really works?!" You guys did that very well! One day at a time 😊
I wish you guys would show stuff like making the axe handle, or the building of the smoker, or making the chain blade for the weed eater. I know it's hard to film and edit, but you'll get way more subs and likes ect. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I love your excitement on how impressed you are with how much work the pigs are doing!!
You should rake the branches and trees you cut down in a pile every time you clear the forest that way when you’re ready and have a huge stack, you could rent a wood chipper and turn that wood into mulch for compost.
Next time you change out your ax handle, soak it in about a foot of water before you sink the wedge. The handle split because it's dry wood and the water will give the handle a little more elasticity.
Someone out on the Interwebs is pondering a cut hubcap as a shield........to go with the chaps of course 😉
Mid evil tool of 2020, patent pending.
You have some nice mama pigs. I didn’t see the babies? I’m glad they are happy.
Lots of piggies are there😊👍
You didn't see them? They were in a brief shot when they were getting petted.
I love the sound that pigs and chickens make, but I'd bet if I had to listen to them all the time, I'd become immune to their noise or go nutz!
The farm sound I DONT like, roosters.
I’ll watch again x
Is it is or is it ain’t cold there? You guys are dressed like you are in two different climates. I love the bacon and sausage guys, they are sweet and will be great in a meal soon. Please be very careful, I would cry if either of you got hurt clearing trees. Yea, it looks great. The pigs will be so happy. You guys got this. Stay good to each other like you are always. The boys must be a foot taller a piece by now.
Loraine Leuschke 🤣like many a husband and wife they like different temperatures🤷🏼♀️
You may be able to find out some good indigenous ground cover that works well in shade. You could also just figure it out by walking in a healthy forest and seeing what grows under the canopy in your area. But it probably won't need to be done first thing. Good luck with the mobile home, I know there's a lot of work ahead but you'll get there by and by.
So Dude ... they are your pigs when they are bad ... lol I'm just bustin on ya'll Peace and love!
I got to thinking about the rest is in the water that you have in that little creek with all the trash piles that you have there might be some items in that area that you have not gotten too late yet that might be resting in going into the water to help contaminated just thinking
Finally got enough pallets to make my raised garden beds. Can't wait till spring gets here
Ben,you remind me of my Dad! He too could figure out anything and then do it...Wow!
Love your invention.
Great job guys. Love how the pigs are helping y’all get the land ready and free of the unwanted plants
As someone who has owned their own shop, sold and repaired string trimmers for ten years, that is the scariest thing I have ever seen! LOL! I trust your engineering skills, but PLEASE stay safe!
Love all y'all do. Y'all truly do inspire me.
I love your gorilla cart. I've had it in my save for later on Amazon for months and I fall more and more in love with it in every video I see it in
mine too but it's so expensive. I am just gonna by a welders kit for the same price and make my own at this point.
@@AJ-ox8xy I was going to buy it with my Christmas money but I decided to get my kids a bunk bed and then used the rest for an incubator. I have a wheel Barrow that I just need to get a new tire for. It'll do for now
@@HomesteadDreaming sacrifice is the name of the game. One day you'll get it a replacement for that wheelbarrow! For now just carry on and I'm sure your kids will thank you for the bunk bed!
@@AJ-ox8xy they adore the bunk bed! It was well worth it.
pigs swim. remember that when fencing swine.
Hey guys, as you may know, putting livestock into natural watersources without a buffer
pollutes the water. You may wish to check with your extension service to see if they have money to help you with a water source for the livestock in the form of a pump etc. Use your extension service. They can be very helpful. To your pocketbook sometimes too. The first 5 yrs are tough. Glad to see younger folks homesteading.
Here piggy piggy piggy. New stuff for you. I hope you and your family have a great evening.
I thought pigs done the land clearing?
Yes, I am the same way. "What I'm thinking about, nobody's making!!!!" LOL
I totally understand taking left and right turns without a warning
Wow Dude, you've got a great tool. I'll buy one as soon as you get in production. 5 acres of similar
dense underbrush.
Bens ingenuity is incredibly impressive. You are both so talented, and teaching amazing lessons to your children on homesteading like true champs. Can’t imagine what another few years accomplishments will do to your homestead.
Ben looks so happy in the woods swinging an ax! Good for you guys doing what makes you happy!
Enjoyed this .
Pigs love to play give them and old bucket they’ll play for hours every day. Y’all are doing a great job
Each time you show the woods, I'm amazed at how far you have come. At this point, by the time the mobile home is completed it will seem almost anticlimactic. I love watching the progress!
Your ingenuity is so cool !!! Beautiful hat. Did you make it? Love you all.
Great invention! Completing so much work on the farm. Keeping all of you in my prayers 💕
We met you guys at HOA. We’ve been quietly watching your progress. Just wanted to say you’re doing a fantastic job! You’ve done an incredible amount of things in a short time. Can’t wait to continue to watch it all unfold and your dreams blossom! Take care guys! 😀
It always makes me happy to see that anew Hollar Homestead video has been posted :) Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Great plans and progress you two!
Watching the pigs with the bucket, maybe they need a ball or something to play with?
I actually chuckled when you snapped fingers into the next day, ponytail bouncing made it look authentic!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Love how you always thank each other for helping. It is those small kindnesses that mean so much.
The Girls just Loves you Husband dearly. But that's good. They'll do whatever he wants them to whenever he wants. Great way to Rotate the pigs. Bacon in the making 😋. How did you ever come up with the Chain contraption? Great way to clear overgrown area. Beautiful Homestead in the makings. God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️ 🙏❣️
Just wait until spring. Those pigs will really be in for a feast when all the spring foliage, and flora starts popping up everywhere. I love your blade cutter chain thingy. I'm going to get my husband to make one of those. He needs it here on our farm! You guys are looking great! Journey On!
I love you guys so much. Thanks for the video.
Your "TH-cam magic" and the comment you made about today being tomorrow and tomorrow is today reminded me of a plaque my grandparents had on their screened in porch when I was a kid. It read: "Today is the Tomorrow you Dreamt About Yesterday". It was funny because I remember being little and reading it and not quite getting what it meant, then on one visit a few years later I had my "aha moment". It makes me smile every time I think of it.
My goodness those baby piglets are adorable. They are so dang cute!
xoxox Heather🇨🇦
That is one of the noisiest pigs ever. You messed with her dwelling spot. Pigs do not like change, but they quickly adapt.
You might have the right elevation and light conditions to grow Ginseng. Check it out...good money crop.
great work guys.keep up the good work
Cover crops are such a great idea! Y'all r so smart! Group hug, and banana bread for everyone! (I'm actually making pumkin pie since I bought too much stuff at holiday:-)) ♡ y'all!
Patricia A Bell pumpkin bread (like zucchini or banana), pumpkin cake. Pumpkin cinnamon rolls. Mashed pumpkin. Cubed pumpkin in soups or stews.
Thank you for doing your tasks with safety gear on : )
So happy to see you kids getting recharged😘
I hate thorn trees, when i was a kid our outhouse was a good ways away from the house and there were thorn trees on each side of the path to the outhouse, rest assured i didn't use the outhouse.
Then where did you go pee-pee? Did you have a tee-pee to make pee-pee?
I think you're full of crap...which is what happens if you don't use the outhouse 😂😂
Saw you posted a video -- dropped everything to watch. Nice job. Thank you. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA
