Hey Matt, just so you know, when the goats get bigger horns and stick their heads through the fence, they can get stuck and die. Unfortunately this has happened to some of our goats. You might try using different fencing that they can’t put their heads through. (Like so he can see this.) P.S. We usually burn their horns when they are younger so they don’t grow.
Can confirm, had goats, they get their horns stuck easier than people might think. They also have the ability to destroy literally anything they can get to... So i think it might be in Matts interest to get the herds, and the resort, fully separated.
@@NotKev2017 Just because you're a mechanic and understand cars doesn't mean if you never owned a Bugatti you can still do an engine rebuild on one, successfully.
There's cheap and DIY options, but he could probably get a sponsored bit from ZombieBox for an overkill one. Noise isolation, weather protection, and tamperproofing.
Matt, You need to get some rolls of Chicken Wire to put on the inside of the other wire to prevent the goats from sticking their heads through and getting hung up in the fence and harming themselves ! Also , get a load of sand to put down on the ground in that metal building before putting any straw or mulch down.
I’m in the San Antonio area - have chainsaw, will clear land. I have my own (much smaller) ranch, I love cleaning brush and “cedar trees” (junipers). Happy to help you clear, let us know when you’re hosting the next working party ;)
Yeah atv, motor bike, pedal bike, hiking would hike their probably already insane insurance rates. At the same time when Matt's having a hard time finding the capital to do the Renovation
I see room for a great disc golf course as well, great fun way to exercise, just watching the discs fly is cool. Ace runs here including Plano Texas native, former women's world champion Paige Pierce th-cam.com/video/rHPZCxQNnFg/w-d-xo.html
Been missing the Reno ranch videos super excited about the desperado ranch series. Saw someone mention that it will likely be the only series on TH-cam that will have 100 episodes and still get views and I fully agree. You and only a few select people i watch religiously. Your awesome man keep up the great work!
Matt, having a burn pile with a pile of dead brush that close to the fence might just give them a place to climb upon to get outside of their penned area ! You should know that Goats love to Climb UP on things !
Matt, That one big rock is sweet! I bet the "all-natural bird bath" in that big rock is a mortar created by many generations of Native Americas grinding acorns in it. I'd keep that one for sure and make sure it's never damaged. It was most likely made by one of the bands of the Coahuiltecan Nation. Most mortars are round, but I've seen many that are oval, and that one you have is very unique. Very cool piece.
You could always get a duel fuel generator. We use them on the job site all the time and one 20lb propane tank should give you about 14-22 hours of run time(depending on load). I'm sure you can get a kit to retrofit your current generator also.
Glad to see that you got a much larger generator for the travel trailer, What a lot of people don't know is just because a generator will run the AC unit doesn't mean it is running it properly. If the generator isn't producing the proper amps the AC may work but it is really bad on the AC's compressor and will cause it to burn up.
Have you ever considered a solar setup would be silent and you could use solar panels to make a patio structure or similar would be more up front and you could make it large enough to handle future loads as well.
I bought an extended run kit for my 3500 and hooked it to a 12 gallon tank. It would have been cheaper than purchasing that 7500. It has a pump so no gravity feed and will work on any size remote tank to suit your needs. Converting the 3500 to propane is also an option. It makes a little less power than gas but run time will be as long as you want.
I've come to the conclusion that Matt has a lot of toys. There is no way I could manage all of this stuff on a daily basis as well as a nice family. I would die of exhaustion in a week. Way to go Matt.
It is going to be GREAT Matt. Look how The Mansion on a Hill turned out. Once you started into that project and it became WAY BIGGER than you anticipated, I thought you should have set it on fire and start from scratch. But it all worked out in the end. The Resort is... Gonna be Great!
Was cracking up when the goats would NOT move and he had to bonk them. When he said he wanted to distract them to "let the bobcat in" I was like oh man I guess he is done with the goats. Then I realized you were talking about the construction equipment and not the animal. As for the generator for the Airstream I would recommend a secondary fuel tank. Just google it and find a bunch and run the pump off the generator as it gets low it fills up and then shuts off when its full again.
My husband and I went by Bunker Branding on Monday and I was a total fan girl. We bought some new gear so we could enter drawing for the airstream stay. Enjoy your videos so much
Matt, it always make my day watching one of your videos. Love your sense of humor ( maybe that’s what Mer saw in you too. You kept her on her toes) I think it’s awesome at what your doing….” it’s gonna be great!” ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟
Yes he had a full load on that suckers.A/C should have been turned on way way earlier.That’s why he ran out of gas.Pulling that many BTU’ /load out of the trailer it never cycles off.
I'd be shocked if you ever see this but... Honda generators are absolutely worth every extra penny. Long story short, Got stuck at my friend's house years ago when parts of Western Washington got hit by a really bad ice storm. We very rarely get those. There were so many (actual) trees down over power lines in the ten miles between between our places that i could not get home for five days. In those five days his little Honda EU 2200 ran all if the lights, refrigerator, entire entertainment system (lots of music and tv) and anything we needed to charge. All while being quiet enough on the front porch for us to have normal conversations while sitting out there. Pretty sure we went through less than ten gallons of gas running it the whole time. Needless to say I bought one shortly thereafter.
Off the ranch still makes sense even when ur doun things fir the actual ranch. For all of us the ranch will always mean the shooting range. Ur good Matt I over think things daily as well 😂
Loved the rock moving! As I have had my husband move plenty of large rocks for me. For my birthday 10 years ago I had him buy me a 2 1/2 foot agate that site at the front walkway!😊 So yeah, I have rock envy over that birdbath rock!
Just a thought if your new one doesn't run long enough, you could put a "Y" in your gas line and have a long enough hose to drop in a 5 gallon can of gas. Just keep it about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the can. Just a suggestion? Just now saw the part of the rock with the built in bird bath, not telling you what to do, I waold put some small rocks in it so it's only about 2 inches deep. Years ago I didn't know better until afterwards, if it's too deep, birds can drown really easy. You probably already know that.
@@grntitan1 That's is true but dual fuel is a nice option, also have to consider that propane is safer to store and natural gas has basically an unlimited supply that is highly unlikely to be interrupted.
With all my health issues at 35yrs old I can only hope something cool would happen for my kids and I like to come hang out there before I'm not around anymore. I love everything you have done Matt and mayer keep it up guys
Matt should invite a bunch of TH-camrs for the grand opening to the Desperado Resort. Just imagine how many subs he would get when they all post videos while at the Resort.
I imagine thats most likely the plan. Donut and Brandon just lost the range they used for range days so the one matt eventually puts there will work perfectly for the massive range days they put on
Hello Matt, I love your videos, and I have been following since you started your beautiful house and now I am following you on your new renovations. I am so excited to enjoy every new video. Hats off to you on the new project!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a crazy landscaping project I just started, and you’re right! It is GOING TO BE GREAT! Matt’s mantra and your clarification has PUMPED ME UP and my yard will be amazing! I love y’all in this community!
You definitely need a fuel trailer that you can pull around the resort, get one that has diesel and gas tanks with pumps. It will make life so much easier. One of the best investments I have ever made for my business.
Seeing that new shirt really hit different today. It is a first world issue for sure, but yesterday, my camp reno project got broken into. Both the camp and the travel trailer we are using to stay in while working there were broken into and tools stolen. I have to use your line to stay positive. It's gonna be great.
Hey Arnold! I recommend you look into a full size home emergency back up generator. The can carry a home I don't see why one couldn't be rigged to power 4 campers temporarily and once you have real power you have a backup.
Matt, you need to announce when you're going to pick the lucky person who wins anything. How do we know. We love the first print you did on the abandoned resort. My wife and I wore them to breakfast one morning a lot of people liked it. We need a trip to bunker branding so we can put a pin on the Big Island map. Aloha from Moku O Keawe (Hawaii Island) Home of Kilauea Volcano 🌋
you can get lids that replace the generator fuel cap that have a nozzle to connect a tube to gravity feed fuel from a larger fuel tank, sort of like a boat fuel tank. FYI. works great in canada in the winter hunting! cheers.
Hi Matt. A cheaper option would have been to bypass the onboard fuel tank and run a fuel line to a much larger external fuel tank. You could get a tank big enough to run the generator for weeks. The other option would be to install solar panels with battery storage to run the airstream and have the generator as a backup for that. Zero noise with solar panels🫥😆
Buddy of mine has that 3500 inverter and that thing is a champ. Kept my fridge on and heater on during a power outage in a snow storm over here in hayfork ca. little smaller but very mighty 🤘🇺🇸
Okay Matt, You asked for what I would be seriously interested in watching and I know it would be a HUGE project with LOTS of parts to it, but I would like to see that burnt "Main Building" rebuilt as close to original as possible maybe with some modern updates. All the video progress from start to finish with a ribbon cutting at the "Grand Opening" ! THAT would be a great series !!! That's my thought. I enjoy ALL your videos. Thanks and have a great day!
I never miss you videos love them all. It's cool remodeling old buildings because you find unique things. As a handyman i have found some cool items. Best of luck and would to visit the ranch
As a lawn care guy grass needs an inch a week of water. It’s best for longer times or water less times per week. Gets the roots to go way down in the soil
Matt, take a look at a product called RV Soft Start. Most of the load on the generator is the surge you get when the AC compressor starts. These boxes allow a small draw on the generator when the A/C compressor starts. This will allow you to run them in ECO mode and save some fuel. Also look and see if the hot water heater can also be run on propane. If it can then this will save fuel also.
You could always get a bigger fuel tank for the quiet generator. Get a 12 gallon tank that has a pump into the generator for your little quiet generator.
Another option that could work for your power needs is look up DC Solar trailers. Very handy for areas without power and the create a good amount of it.
Too bad y'all weren't there when I was still at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. I definitely would've stopped by however that was years ago now. I still remember the heat as it was crazy hot in summer which wasn't all that fun unless you were in water which helped a bit lol. a minor suggestion is maybe looking into building a solar setup with batteries for overnight and running the power over to the airstream. It looked like there was a open field nearby which would allow for running without fuel and having the generator for a backup. Just my thoughts on this as it may help run the entire airstream. The other thought was to have a rv/camping area with power setup further from the main buildings if people would like to camp instead of stay in the building. The bummer may be the permits for all of this as I don't really know what the permits that are required in the area of the abandoned ranch.
The goat shelter needs to be insulated against the heat and, perhaps to a lesser degree, cold. Without insulation, all it is, is an oversized tin oven. Probably should have concrete floor added to the goat shelter side as well as the feed store half so that water can't run underneath the walls and make any bedding into a soggy moldy mess. It will be far easier to clean out a concrete floor than a rocky floor.
I'll be contacting Jenna fairly soon but the three things we're gonna need out there: power or fuel, water and a means to dispose of waste water... REALLY looking forward to helping out on the Abandoned Resort, but I gotta take care of my brides creature comforts first. We got our own RV to stay in, even long term, but there are some minimal necessities... I can help with just about everything, Shay can clean up and she's an amazing coordinator, manager, financial aid... she ran my businesses for almost 20 years... kept me in line fairly well. I'll talk to ya soon I hope...
I use those predator inverter generators for work. You can get a boat fuel container, some fuel line and an inline primer. Modify the fuel cap on the generator so that you can attach the fuel line from the boat fuel container to it. Put the boat fuel tank higher than the generator, prime the line, fire the Genny up, let that sucker run for 18-24 hours.
Honda generators are so much quieter and much more fuel efficient. Mine runs for eight or more hours, depending on the load, on just a gallon and a half of gas! During a power outage it was running a refrigerator, a deep freezer, three flatscreen TV's, four laptop computers, six 20" box fans, 12 lights with LED Bulbs, and my front loading washer (just to finish washing the load that was already in there).
Hey Matt, to solve the power issue get a BLUETTI Power Cell and some solar panels mixed with a wind turbin power generator since it's a open field and just use the Gens as back-ups. Free Power.
I bought an old construction light tower for our 5th wheel on our property. 6kW diesel powered generator super quiet and powers the RV for 5 days on a 30 gallon tank.
It can be overwhelming and costly buying a neglected property and restoring it. But it is rewarding when you are finally turning the corner so to d peak on your restoration.
Hey Matt I think a better test of the 3rd generator would be to have the air stream parked out in the sun. Actual field conditions would be best. Thanks and your welcome. Bob
Those harbor freight generators are great. Only problem is they will only run for a maximum of eight hours. You can get a above deck boat gas tank(15gal) that is larger than the generators capacity plumb it into the carburetor.

"By someone, I mean me" that was the best! Breaking your own stuff is the worst.
Hey Matt, may I suggest building a small 3 sided shelter for the generator that's open away from the airstream to help deflect some of the noise away.
Even a simple sandbag wall can reduce the noise quite a bit. A shelter would protect it from sun and rain also.
An inverter generator is very quiet
Some way to have a safe gas supply??

So many activities, lol.
And ATV trails would be awesome too

Just a reminder that the TP needs to be for a camper toilet system. Oh and some deodorizer for the tank would also be great.

Hey Matt, may I suggest a solar generator out there? You can put the panels on top of the airstream and then you just need to get a power wall for it
The huge roof of the administration building would be ideal for solar.
Have you ever considered a solar setup would be silent and you could use solar panels to make a patio structure or similar would be more up front and you could make it large enough to handle future loads as well.
It’s always a good day when Matt uploads❤
I bet EcoFlow would be interested in sponsoring this Matt. Solar could potentially be a better option for the Airstream.
Hey, you should put a dripper from your sprinkler system in the bird bath rock to fill it daily. Keep the awesome vids coming! ❤

Oh no it’s totally easier to spend $2k more and just buy a bigger generator.
Another option that could work for your power needs is look up DC Solar trailers. Very handy for areas without power and the create a good amount of it.
@12:10, those look like the cement trucks wash out spots. After they dump the spray it down and empty the chute on/ right near the job site
Too bad y'all weren't there when I was still at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. I definitely would've stopped by however that was years ago now. I still remember the heat as it was crazy hot in summer which wasn't all that fun unless you were in water which helped a bit lol. a minor suggestion is maybe looking into building a solar setup with batteries for overnight and running the power over to the airstream. It looked like there was a open field nearby which would allow for running without fuel and having the generator for a backup. Just my thoughts on this as it may help run the entire airstream. The other thought was to have a rv/camping area with power setup further from the main buildings if people would like to camp instead of stay in the building. The bummer may be the permits for all of this as I don't really know what the permits that are required in the area of the abandoned ranch.
The goat shelter needs to be insulated against the heat and, perhaps to a lesser degree, cold. Without insulation, all it is, is an oversized tin oven. Probably should have concrete floor added to the goat shelter side as well as the feed store half so that water can't run underneath the walls and make any bedding into a soggy moldy mess. It will be far easier to clean out a concrete floor than a rocky floor.
we like this Vlogs a LOT!! Keep they going!!
Hi Matt, Try out one of the Extended Run Auxiliary Fuel Tanks. Basically you need a bigger tank and a new cap to your generator's tank to feed it.
I'll be contacting Jenna fairly soon but the three things we're gonna need out there: power or fuel, water and a means to dispose of waste water... REALLY looking forward to helping out on the Abandoned Resort, but I gotta take care of my brides creature comforts first. We got our own RV to stay in, even long term, but there are some minimal necessities... I can help with just about everything, Shay can clean up and she's an amazing coordinator, manager, financial aid... she ran my businesses for almost 20 years... kept me in line fairly well. I'll talk to ya soon I hope...
Fascinating to watch your vision and dreams come true! Keep on rocking and rolling!
Hay matt why dont you get some aolar panels on the roof then you only need the generator at night
I use those predator inverter generators for work.
You can get a boat fuel container, some fuel line and an inline primer.
Modify the fuel cap on the generator so that you can attach the fuel line from the boat fuel container to it.
Put the boat fuel tank higher than the generator, prime the line, fire the Genny up, let that sucker run for 18-24 hours.
Honda generators are so much quieter and much more fuel efficient. Mine runs for eight or more hours, depending on the load, on just a gallon and a half of gas! During a power outage it was running a refrigerator, a deep freezer, three flatscreen TV's, four laptop computers, six 20" box fans, 12 lights with LED Bulbs, and my front loading washer (just to finish washing the load that was already in there).
Hey Matt, to solve the power issue get a BLUETTI Power Cell and some solar panels mixed with a wind turbin power generator since it's a open field and just use the Gens as back-ups. Free Power.
I bought an old construction light tower for our 5th wheel on our property. 6kW diesel powered generator super quiet and powers the RV for 5 days on a 30 gallon tank.
It can be overwhelming and costly buying a neglected property and restoring it. But it is rewarding when you are finally turning the corner so to d peak on your restoration.
Great job on the video Matt! Thanks for making it.
Really enjoyed the visit today. Thanks!
Loved this Vlog episode. Felt like hanging out with you helping ^^ Thanks for that!
You need a battery bank, solar and an easy start kit for the air conditioner. It would make that generator last so much longer!
Hey Matt
I think a better test of the 3rd generator would be to have the air stream parked out in the sun. Actual field conditions would be best.
Thanks and your welcome.
Bob
Look up extended run gas caps for the generator if you wanna make that other one last longer.
Those harbor freight generators are great. Only problem is they will only run for a maximum of eight hours. You can get a above deck boat gas tank(15gal) that is larger than the generators capacity plumb it into the carburetor.
I love the Disney mug for the goat feed lol
It makes me happy to see that you didn't try and back dragto move the dirt.
