Wranglerstar's Tool Pick Of The Week - The 6" Knipex. Cobra plier is my favorite tool purchase this year. I keep these in the leg pocket of my work pants. You'll be amazed at how handy they are for daily tasks. amzn.to/2Z77AiH (amazon affiliate link)
I'm not a botanist, but maybe if you buy a meter tall young trees (yeah, they are more likely to survive if you measure them in meters :) lets say 50, and water them for a first month, they would have more chance to grow tall. Do that for next few years and voila, you have a nice addition to your forest.
With the cattails you can make what is called cat tail flower you should look into it I know you Homestead so it'd be a good resource for you
what's the drone you use ?
I keep a pair of 6 inch channellocks and they are definitely more handy than expected
Wranglerstar ‘image old timers’’!!! You’re an old timer too🤬🤬🤬
The little one tumbling down the hill singing is a distillation if everything that is good, pure and uplifting. God rejoices in the little ones.
Cody I just want to say I've been watching for many years now, since before you moved to this property. I've always loved and looked forward to your videos.
I just want to say thank you for making such wholesome down to earth content. Especially these days, your videos are something to look forward too and help me dream about setting up my own homestead for my family.
Thanks again, stay healthy, and God bless.
Justin Schwebler thank you for making a comment that actually says something other than first smh and I agree with you I have been watching a long time and this is a really good channel hope everyone is safe and has a great weekend
Yeah, Cody's videos are great!
Cody said Yeeeting the cat tails - Legendary
5:10
😂😂😂
What's that mean?
And he did donuts😂😂
Shave Classy Google it, boomer
Fifty five years ago, I used to work on a farm in Illinois. Every spring we would "chunk" the fields. The frost heaves would bring rocks of all sizes to the surface and one of the steps before planting would be to remove, by hand, these rocks. Tossed in a tractor pulled wooded wagon, the amount collected from 400 acres would build several houses. I don't know where the term "chunking" came from, but it was appropriate, since we picked up chunks of rocks before we plowed.
Actually really enjoyed this drone style tour of the homestead! would gladly watch some more
Awesome, thank you!
I like that as well.. hope to see a higher shot video to get a better sense of the layout but i understand for security and privacy reasons that may not be possible
Did the drone survive that tree flyby?
@@wranglerstar I have asked this 2 or 3 times too! I would LOVE an ariel drone view of the homestead. This was the first time i really felt like i got a perspective to the land and how it is laid out a little bit. Property is Looking great too.
Long time viewer, first-time commenter. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your videos and your openness and that seeing you and your family calms me down and puts a smile on my face. All the best, from Norway
8 years ago I planted 2000 mahogany trees, it was very nice to see how the wildlife returned and how the micro climate changed.
I wish you the best.
did you companion plant or monocrop?
Avener Sorto Campos how big are the trees now
These more casual videos are some of my favorites. I can't wait to see more road work and clearing the cattails.
Did I hear that the sweetloaf's name has been revealed??
There are few things more satisfying than seeing a field of trees grow over the years. In 15 years you’ll look at pictures and it’ll be almost unrecognizable.
lol, I knew the second that drone had its back turned, the Sweetloaf would be approaching. Hope the drone survived the tree near the end. seems like a very fun and useful tool to scout the property.
WRANGLERSTAR I wanted to say thank you for the years I've had watching you and the family grow, the land move and just the love you have shared.
Our pleasure!
I've been waiting years for an update on your planted trees! Thank you Cody. Dont give up on planting, I lose a ton due to deer here in Wi. But every year plant about 80 on my property. Have s great day.
You know, i've been watching Wranglerstar longer then I can remember now and sometimes it's thanks to him that I have some of the tools and know how for doing some things that I wouldn't of been able to do otherwise. Like today I was sharpening my vintage maul I nick named "Big V" because it has a V stamped into it, still no idea what brand it is...anywho my neibor walks over chatting with me and asks why I spent the time getting an old maul like that instead of just going to home depot and I start talking about how well older tools are made and how good it feels to hold and use a piece of history and I remembered I got that maul years ago because of your review on mauls back in....god I think 2016 I think? Man time flies! I'm rambling now...just wanna say thanks for your years of videos my friend! I hope one day to own land like you have and watch my family grow!
The view of all them trees from an aerial view is just stunning Cody @Wranglerstar
Thank You for sharing the update on the trees. Here in Idaho, my dad would plant apple, chestnut trees, and some berry plants at selected random locations in the forest. He did to attract wildlife and to provide emergency food for us in case of troubled times. Forty years later some are still there hidden for us and even his great grandchildren to use. He was a retired Air Force intelligence officer. He always said if we we’re not careful China would take us down without firing a shot. That was in the 1970s.
Your little girl warms my heart, and your son reminds me much of my boy... Good kids!
9:54 looks like the drone decided it was a good time to put a cut in the video 😂
My elderly farming neighbour refuses to use their farm ATV, he says once you start using it for travelling around the farm, you're finished! He's as slim as the handle of a rake.
When looking at land once, I met this old farmer that moved thru the forest super fast, it was hard to keep up. He could weave thru what looked like solid briars, trees, and thorns, nothing stopped him, fences, he just ducked under.
He loved exploring his farm on foot.
I love this drone/voice over talking about plans. It has good vibes all over it
Wranglerstar Golf Course....what a wonderful place, some bunkkers and water... planted 3000 trees once, most of them survived. It's mandatory to plant here if you cut logs. (Finland, EU)
Cody. Try taking an old 5 gal bucket, drill an 1/8” hole on the bottom on an edge. Place it next to the trees you plant and fill them every few days the fist year. I have done that for my orchard. May not work for 2000 trees but works for 2 dz.
9:53 RIP drone, you will be missed.
Thank you for the update on your tree plantation. I have been wondering about it.
This was such a beautiful video of your beautiful land and beautiful family. Thank you for that, I think the world needs a little more wholesomeness like this in it right now.
While I don’t agree with everything you say, do, or believe, I really enjoy your videos. There is clearly love in this family, and the videos are so peaceful. Keep up the great work! Best wishes from Sacramento, CA
Roundabouts are cool. And that little girl is so sweet, may the Lord keep you safe and secure this year.
I remember the planting video. Sad to hear there was what, maybe a 1%-3% survival rate?
Since you mentioned that when you disturbed the subsoil it improved their chances, have you thought about maybe auguring small patches and planting 10-20 saplings every so often?
I do not often comment on your videos because you do them well and.. enough said. Today I watched this one and I was touched by your family fully engaged in your mission. Beautiful... God is good.
Sincerely thank you. Your channel is a pleasure to follow. I enjoy your opinions and think you have a backbone.
Wow. 10 years. Man. Ive been watching your channel for a long time 😳
I live in Central Oregon, lots of reminents of old homesteads.
There must be a midden (trash heap) around there with la century's worth of cool bottles and artifacts. Time for Wranglerstar to get a metal detector!
@@Ben4149 Sounds like the perfect excuse to use night vision.
cattails in your pond are a sign of the natural progression as the pond fills in and becomes a bog then solid land. They are a shallow water plant, the best way to get rid of them is dig out the muck and deepen the pond, you also need steep banks to keep this from recurring.
Your daughter is as joyful as the wonderful Nature around her. Amazing. Your playing the game right Mr W.
Love the overview! I'm jealous of your property 🙂
Btw, if you or Jack want to dig into something for getting more trees and use on that land, look into permaculture.
There's also a method taught in it called "swales" that are basically ditches on contour. It helps hold onto water and you plant trees beside them to help get trees going.
Just a thought for something to check out 🙂
Oh, and ignore the "hippy" element of permaculture. It's just a subgroup that kind of took it to be something that it really isn't.
I love watching the Baby it always makes me smile!👍❤️ God Bless You all!
Cody! I can see it now! The new road is the layout for the future "Wranglerstar" seasonal campground. Water and electric hookups over there. A section for RV hookups with sewer over here. A section for tent campers is being planned in the woods. Jack will be running the campground with the UTV , and Sweetloaf will be behind the front office desk signing in the guests. When do you start taking reservations?
What a wonderful life you have created, and great inspiration for all of us! Thank you for sharing!
I know a landowner in southern Washington that hated cattails in his ponds and tried burning them every year. Didn’t work as they came back every year. Good habitat for Red winged blackbirds though if they’re up at your altitude. Roads will be a good addition!
Oh my the Sweet Loaf is unbelievably precious
There are "standalone" drip irrigation systems that can help you with the plants, its basically a closed plastic donut tub with several cotton wicks in its bottom, you fill it once, and it provides the tree with water and firtilizer for a couple months, modest amounts, but makes a difference, and the body of the tub also blocks the sun and evaporation area
You can always use a 5 gallon bucket with a wick threaded in its bottom
Oh My Gosh, that child is going to keep you young, and make you old. She is a blessing indeed.
Having been a sub since before you had this property it is amazing to see how much it has really transformed over the years. Transforming the land takes so much time and labor yet the reward seen years later is so gratifying. I hate to use the word envy yet I don't know anyone that wouldn't want what you have created and nurtured.
Cody, The sweet loaf is one smart cookie! Your wife is doing a great job with the education of that little one.
How much are you loving life right now, Mr. W? You are truly blessed.
Cattails are an excellent source of food and they help clean the water. I transplanted a bunch to the shore line of my lake. There's a lot of good recipes for cattails online.
Cody, you can pull those cattails, but the issue you are going to have is the depth of your pond. You can look up the critical angle, or depth for your area. Basically it takes into account the angle at which the sun hits the earth in your area, and how far it can penetrate water. The closer to the equator, the more direct the rays are and the deeper they go. As long as your pond is that depth, you should eliminate growth of cattails and other aquatic plants from growing from the bottom of your pond. If the pond isn’t deep enough, you will fight them constantly. Good luck.
problem: one boot is stuck in the mud, solution: discard the left over boot :) ROFL, gotta love that kid
Cody as you peruse about your homestead, I would like to see an update to the "brush dams" built 3+ years ago, may have been my first Wranglerstar video!! Also you can fabricate a temporary weir to measure the flow from your springs.
I like this type of video, quiet, calm, informitave, keep it up. That eagle on the mailbox brings back good memorys....fizz.
I have an idea for the cat tails in the pond. If you had a steel cable and weighted it with 4 x 56lb grain weights and laid it across the pond and then pulled the ends together you could haul the cable and the weights with the tractor and drag the stuff out by the roots. You have a beautiful property.. Being British, I love "London Bridge is falling down" :>)
Loved the video. We do lake and pond conservation work in New Mexico and West Texas. For the cattails we have determined the easiest way to get them out is to rent a small excavator (when possible) and rip them out. You can also dredge and deepen your pond while you do this. We always make sure to haul the material downstream so it doesn’t end up back in there after a rain. I hope you are well, we pray for you and your family. Blessings
Thanks for sharing!
He said yeet 😂😂 been watching this channel for like 7+ years and never would’ve imagined Cody would ever say Yeet
That little girl sure does add a lot of love to your family ! :-) She is so cute !!!
Thank you Cody for the update ! Glad some made through your arsh winters.
While watching some of your recent videos I was literally wondering yesterday about all the trees you planted a few years ago. So good to see that there’s some survivors. Always a pleasure to watch.
I've got a problem with cattails and other things growing in my small pond and last year I hit them with Round-Up and it seems to have worked pretty well. My guess is the Round-Up didn't do real bad things to the water as it was more of a topical for the plant leaves with just some minor overspray in the water. (I think what what is worse for the water quality is the dead cattails now rotting away.) I noticed this spring, I have very little re-sprouting. Love the aerial of the property; nice chunk you have there! We have 7+ acres in the Oregon Blues and are surrounded on three sides by private but accessible timber lands. (Was a gorgeous forest until about five years ago when it was clearcut, but it has been replanted with tamaracks, so it will come back in a few more years.)
We have a 2 and a half year old son and it sure doesn't get boring! We manage a few acres for a family that lives out of town but I admit... I am jealous of your property! It looks beautiful! And also strategic. Having 3 springs is great 👍. We run a martial arts school and we like to take our students out to the property sometimes for camps and such. It's so important for kids to experience nature!
me and my son germinate trees over the winter for the last 3 yrs. We give them away for free to people that want them. My son wants to go to college for environmental science so I got him a good start with these project. It is nice to see others planting tree to help the earth
In the fields of Utah, there's just enough dirt to hold the rocks together
Digging the cattails out and to hold them back it might be beneficial to dig the pond deeper since they have a grow zone. You could put those rock to use to help retain the pond walls
Great job cody, you have inspired me to final do some work, build a work bench, some other things, thank you for the much used and cherished inspiration and also for keeping me close to the Lord with the John and Geniuses videos, thank you so much cody!,
@@Blaqjaqshellaq thats the need for building one
The cattails are good for filtration in the water stream, but a real pain as well creating choke points. When you hire the excavator to build your bugout shelter hire it with a mud bucket as well and clean them out that way.
The best way to get rid of cattails is to deepen the pond. They don’t do well when water depth is greater than 18 inches.
Def love the content, certainly a beautiful home, & family you're building.
(Read thru some comments, but...). As an old Scout all of the cattail is edible, & is an important wetland filter. But they don't like deep water. We've cleaned or established a number of ponds & farm ponds using a raft/boat & a trash pump, using a vertical intake pipe to move around & dredge out the silt & soil. Works surprisingly well & can get into areas that an excavator can't. Prayers & best wishes...
The first video watched was when you were doing homeschool with your son and were rounding stumps. Where has he been? I’m a dad of two older sons and a pawpaw to several boys and was hoping to see more father/son projects. I really enjoyed this video. Great job!
You can eat the tubers in the Cattails. So if you get a taste for them, their numbers will dwindle fast.
That's a amazing piece of property you have. Thanks for showing us around a little.
I can’t get over how extraordinary your property is!!
I remember you planting that second batch of trees. It's nice to see them grow.
Cattail can be used to make ethanol, something like 10 time more than corn. Also, if times get tough, they're edible. They also are very good at cleaning the water. Good to keep at least some going. I wonder if there's something like fish or snails that could keep them in check?
I’m on a municipal committee dealing with invasive plant species. Our biggest problem is Phragmites and cattails are number two. All the environmental experts argue that the only useful effective treatment is glyphosate. The benefit of its use offsets any negative impact. In the USA you have the benefit of getting glyphosate without the surfactant(the surfactant is the dangerous element in the equation.) A pond that small could be treated by wicking or paint brush which would have almost no exposure to surrounding water or beneficial plants.
I love your work, your videos. And featuring The Sweetloaf reminds me so much of my first baby girl who was also a talker, a lover of mud and water and thankfully remains a daddy’s girl. She’s almost 19 years old now and nearly independent.
It happened so fast.
God bless you and your family. Keep up the great content.
Billy Lide.
It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years on this property I started watching before you even moved here, still enjoy your videos as much as ever. THANK YOU
Always admired your surrounding and property! The joy of just roaming around :)
What an awesome journey you folks have been on! Thanks for the update
I appreciate you guy and I appreciate your values. Keep the videos coming.
Very nice and relaxing. Makes me homesick for the mountains. I grew up south of you about 150 miles. Wish i was back and not on the Gulf Coast!!
If you cut actively growing cattails off below water level they will drown. Sounds crazy, but it works, and it's an excuse to buy a new tool! It's a Y shaped gizmo with ~30" long blades on it that you throw out and drag back. Works a treat.
I worked on a project that monitored a couple lakes/marshland around my local area. Almost all of them were beginning to be overgrown by cattails since they were used to filter out the toxins/heavy metals that were present 20 years ago. It was more or less concluded that the only way to fully get rid of them was chemicals, but obviously wasn't really an option. We could spend a year or so manually clearing the cattails but the amount of time, machinery, and manpower required far outstripped the cities budget. Only thing that we can do now is contain them by clearing new growth along the perimeter. However even that is starting to become problematic because of the amount of plant mass cattails continually produce. We are running out of storage space, and no one really want to take them in since they have those toxins/heavy metals.
She is so cute. She's going to be a runner like her mother.
was that a slip up, calling her by name? I listened a time or 2 but couldnt make it out. 10:07
She is the STAR of the show...no doubt about it!
The first year is the most important, plant with a gallon of nutrients and also plant near the tree line and work your way inward towards the field .
The township of "Sweet-loaf" has roads and a new sheriff, she takes no prisoners.
Worked on a property in college that had side by sides and dirt trails. In the Oregon winters they turned into mud bogs with foot deep ruts. I hope your roads survive better then ours did.
I love how this was filmed. Very nice!
You might consider using a crane with drag line to remove the cattails and deepen your pond to improve it's holding capacity and reduce their regrowth.
Ah cattails. About 10 years ago when I was about 12 years old me and my sister would always go visit my grandfather at his cabin. This cabin was on about a 2 acre pond and one summer while we were swimming as usual he roped me into pulling up all of the cattails. He had grown tired of having the fuzzy particulates that they produce covering his front porch. That’s was a tough job pulling all those out in nothing but my undies! But now it’s just a great memory.
Thank you, for planting trees. One person can do a lot.
That truly is God's Country. Love the shots. God Bless your family and your land.
Priceless. Make sure you keep all this footage on hard drives and/or Blu-Ray. :)
What a fantastic property, I would be out trail running every day if I lived in such a place, your truly blessed.
I am very envious of the space just to explore and enjoy the land! Rock on!
Love the Homestead Videos. Your Channel is heading in the right direction. Great Content. Thank you.
Cody, I'd use your backhoe and dig out the cattails and deepen and widen the pond. It would be a good reservoir for firefighting and the cattails won't grow in deep water.
Wow, 3 natural wells, that's amazing and a blessing for a property owner. The roads are awesome and will make a huge difference with the sxs's.
Cheers Cody
You sir are living the Dream. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Add aeration to the pond cattails like low oxygen content, add a micro bubbler or use your jet pump to make a small fountain
Those rock piles are a good thing as you can use for rock walls or if you don't like the look of them can always rent a rock crusher to turn the piles into gravel for surfacing the roads you are building. Could also offer them up to those around you if they are building retaining walls as the rock would make good Gabion wall fill when leveling an area.
Great cinematography. Love the land. Truly beautiful.
