      I found Matt's off the ranch channel just after they bought the abandoned mansion. I looked forward to every episode and then binged the whole series all over again. It was great seeing the beginning all over. I then joined the demolition ranch and vet ranch, also Mark's and Dr Lee's channels. Looking forward to seeing these videos too!

    Hire a groundskeeper. Sooner than later. They will be invaluable in getting work done on the property while you are focused on other things, their knowledge will help with designing the grounds, and they will be immeasurably more connected and caring when you open up if they're maintaining/improving something they helped build. 🙂

    The reason we don't get bored watching these longer videos is because it's like you're exploring the property and taking us along for the ride. There's not much that beats checking out a new, huge area that not many have been in or seen for years or decades. A lot of really cool discoveries (and some nasty ones, too) have been made and more, I'm sure, to come. Even those, though, are interesting. PLEASE keep it up and thank you for sharing all this wonder! Oh, and of course we can't forget the humorous antics of Mikey. How that boy hasn't killed, or even hurt himself, yet, is beyond understanding. lol (you, too! Y'all please keep it up, but continue to be safe!)

      It would definitely cause an insurance risk. Until they have areas cleared and cleaned up, too much chance of someone's rig getting messed up. Same reason he can't have people staying in the cabins, its not safe yet. Any place that allows RVs to stay has made it safe in certain places to put them.
      All of that being said... He could just have them sign a waver that the ranch isn't liable.

    So I made a recommendation in one of your earlier vids. Being in construction myself, I would recommend getting with a company that will help you "phase plan" your resort. They will come and talk with you and discuss your priorities and create a plan as to what you should work on first through last. Next hire a reputable construction company that you get on a FFP (Firm Fixed Contract). Make this a design/build project. (they will have to hire an architect under their contract). That means if they forget anything they are on the hook not you. This way you don't deal with change orders that can bleed you dry. Food for thought...

    Hi Matt. You could concentrate on getting the range and activities up and running and then start out having people camp on the property while you renovate the cabins. Kind of an outdoor adventure experience. Camping and a furring range is going to appeal to a lot of people.

    The longer format is great for a few reasons for me. The vloggy sections are great insights into what's going on on the property and make for good background noise too, while the montages are edited together fantastically and fun to watch. Also holy crap your drone game keeps getting better and better.

    Hey Matt, here's a thought for a quick way to set up lodging... they sell really cool park model cabins that would be perfect for a few guys or a small family to say in. They have bedrooms and bathrooms and small kitchens. And they are considerably cheaper than that Airstream. They can be set on the ground or left on the trailer if you wanted to move them around the property as you grow. Anyway, great video bud.

      @@GDSTX I feel like as a temporary thing composting toilets like are in a lot of RVs would be fine since they're technically mobile when on the trailers and running some temporary PVC lines for electric and water wouldn't be that hard. Or even just solar and like water tanks attached to them to feed water in. I dunno how the rules are over in Texas for renting out cabin type things but at least when I went to Alaska which I feel has a similar mindset governmentally to Texas the cabins just had outhouses nearby to them and a spring for water in like the center of the property and only enough solar for lighting

    I love airstreams. I have a lot of nice memories of the airstream my childhood best friend had at her house. It was set up differently though, no master bedroom. The kitchen table & seating area was right in the front as you walk in and yes the table dropped down to form a bed. Then you walk towards the middle and there is a twin bed on either side and then a large bathroom on the very end, I honestly liked that set up. My friend and I would camp in it all the time on their huge property. I loved being in it when it rained or stormed, it was loud but fun.
