I have a small shovel in the back of my truck, and since watching your videos I’ve sharpened it. Hope the fire stays away. Prayers for you, family, and homestead.
I'm really enjoying the early morning release of your videos lately. I know that it all depends on your production schedule and what you have planned for the day, but I just thought I would mention that I'm enjoying it. Your content continues to be interesting, thank you for bringing us along for the proverbial ride.
Appreciate your latest videos and getting a little more back to the basics. Very enjoyable to watch and I always learn something. Thanks for the truth you bring with your encouraging words.
So glad to see the freshly-planted trees spring back like that! Looking good, Cody. As I told Jeriah via chat, if you need extra hands in case of immediate fire threat to the property, reach out... it's a bit of a drive, but with some heads-up, I can get down there to assist.
That flood irrigation works great; no pumps, no electricity, just men's ingenuity and gravity. I would have thought that those little trees were goners, but the way snapped back is amazing. Cheers.
Gotta love how resilient nature is. It has gone through every extreme imaginable on each end of the scale. All of it being created by a divine God who knew we needed it. I love that Cody sees the need for additional trees as well, when most people slowly but surely remove them as they expand on their property with buildings and ag fields.
I love the smell of linseed oil, if only there was a cologne of that smell. Ballistol is not too bad as well. Stay safe from the fires! Thinking of you guys
You asked for us to let you know how we like the recordings done on the Iphone, I prefer the camera tbh. I think the environment your in is far too beautiful to not do it full justice with a nice camera, Some of us live in rather smoggy areas or places without so much wildlife, It's good to come and see the pretty colors and mountains that I could soon plant my feet on one day. So for the phone recordings id prefer it be at a minimum, but of course do what you see fit, I'm grateful for the content either way!
For the shovel, if it’s like a carpenters hammer or pry bar, you may like to sharpen it from the back so you get a sharp edge as you pry rather than a rounded edge. Thanks for another nice video.
I can remember back in the early 60s while in Jr High school metal shop being prompted to clean my file with a card file brush and I still do today even 14 years after I retired as an industrial electrician. My tools stay clean and sharp and the new fellas that I trained in the Navy and on the job would be told " A clean tool is a happy tool "
I've learned plenty from ProHo, but maintaining my wooden handles with boiled linseed oil, is up there, for best knowledge transfer. I buy that stuff by the 5 gallon bucket.
Thats great the seedling are starting to green up . I was going to ask if you are going to get you wildland fire gear ready for another year Here in BC we are dealing with large fires already .
Love the update! Looking at the size of those trenches you dug...I can't help but think that it would be a great excuse for you and Jack to do some burnouts on the dirtbikes. Drag-launch practice for the sake of irrigation!
I hope you are putting a metal roof on your cabin to help prevent your roof from catching fire from flying embers. Forget about any cedar shingle roof which is great for roof fires. Unless of course you will install a stand pipe system on your wooden roof for fire suppression. Then you can use your little fire pump trailer and hook it up to your stand pipe system.
Still love giving Cody a hard time about him having every man tool ever made - in double and sometimes triplicate 🤣 That kind of tool acquisition is next level, something every man should strive for, even though most will fail.
All Proho's word of caution with the boiled linseed oil if you apply with rags, they will combust on their own, so take proper care when discarding. This is pretty common knowledge in the woodworking community, but I was not aware of it as everyday knowledge growing up. Bourbon Moth on YT has a great video where he did a test on it.
You should be careful with any rag with polyurethane, BLO, or many other chemicals / solvents. Friend of mine was refinishing his floors and his pile of rags spontaneously combusted and burnt down his house.
The basic & practical advice for fire tool use & maintenance learned from a few years of government work is much appreciated, but where did that fire shovel come from? The USFS fire warehouse courtesy of the US tax payer? Nearly every forest firefighter usually has his/her personal stash of government fire tools.
Genuine Question - when you divert the irrigation at the front of your property to your fields, do you not also divert water away from your neighbours who are downstream? What if your neighbour upstream diverted to his fields and you had no water?
Which camera was used for that walking talking shot at the end? If it was your iPhone, I might just have to go buy one cause it was buttery smooth and great colour
People of my generation may look at maintenance of hand tools as "fanaticism", but that's because they do not have any conception of "lifetime tools". They are so used to buying a cheap shovel, using it for a year or so, and discarding it when it inevitably breaks that they have never learned that proper tools can last generations if correctly maintained.
Not to sound like an East Coast Man but, Im so curious about this irrigation method. Would pastures not self sustain otherwise without it? I certainly appreciate the simplicity, obvously the trees could not have survived without it I just dont fully understand where the necessity arrives if DF trees are native, I assume the grasses are native... how does everthing else grow without the irrigation?
@wranglerstar Intresting, I guess I should read more about the regional climate. I had assumed the Pacific NW would get enough rain fall to sustain good pastures in the region. Thank you for the thought food
@@jaredkean7841, not every location is a rain forest. There are places near the coast where you would struggle to start a campfire because it's that damp and wet.
It’s amazing what living water does to things. People can say the same when they too receive Christ’s living water. Just like those brown and dying trees produce lush green buds in so short of time, so do we when we get the living water of Jesus.
I love this channel. So refreshing to see a real man with life skills who's awake. This world needs you divine masculine's! I would love to know what state this is he's in, does anyone know?
Eastcoast man is learning a lot, Thanks!
I feel like I've been spoiled all my life, I never knew it took so much to take care of a shovel...I feel like I've been lazy all these years...
@@infidelsinc3482 most people don't but it's a pain and feels unkempt to use their tools
I have a small shovel in the back of my truck, and since watching your videos I’ve sharpened it.
Hope the fire stays away. Prayers for you, family, and homestead.
It brings me such joy to hear your voice repeating the advice I’ve listened to for years. Bless you brother. Thank you. 🙏
I worry all the time, even now, about literally everything. That closing line really set my mind at ease, thanks Cody. God bless!
Thank for the prayer. God bless us all we are in need of his love more than ever.
The best channel on youtube. I've been watching for 6 years and never missed a video. God bless you Cody!
Love how you take such good care of your tools Cody!

@@wranglerstar would you mind telling me what brand your pants are? they look perfect for the kind of work we do
Amen.
Good word Cody.
"Seek first the kingdom of right.."
Thanks Cody for making videos. Your Channel has been my favorite for over 10 years. A moment of gratitude from me for what is work for you.
Good word at the end. I appreciate your boldness.
I have been saying for years buy quality buy once. By the way you are a good steward of what god has blessed you with. 👍
Praying for your situation, and a uneventful outcome, always enjoying your content, for a long time now

A gentleman and a scholar.
no idea why, but i love watching the flood irrigation videos
Your video yesterday was so satisfying to watch as you carefully and successfully brought the water to your new mini forest. A++
I agree. It was so satisfying
Absolutely brilliant. You and your family are in my prayers!

Appropriate words of wisdom at the end there
The watering system is amazing! I thought it was too early for fires but careless people are year round…
As a ditch rider, it is really pretty cool to see these videos
God bless you brother! your videos are very encouraging and I pray for the fires to cease 🙏❤️
For the shovel, if it’s like a carpenters hammer or pry bar, you may like to sharpen it from the back so you get a sharp edge as you pry rather than a rounded edge. Thanks for another nice video.
There are a few prescribed fires near “Mt Fuji”. Your fuel moistures are still pretty high to support a major wildland fire.
This is really cool to watch. Going to take a long time to watch these trees grow. :-)
You should try a #2 rice shovel. Works great for irrigation work
Impressive change.
You take care of yourself and your family too.
Amazing. Every time you show this feature of your property I’m in awe of the ingenuity and wisdom of some men to use nature to their advantage.
I learn so much from your channel, thank you.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing
Great content again back to your old style you did many years ago at the old p.ace thanks

Your field and forest is loving the water. Deep soak was the key. Thanks for the update.
That's some beautiful sod on your property.
Also' nice Alluvial field you have created.
Mmmm that chisel ASMR. 🤗
Florida man loves Cody's vids
Thats great the seedling are starting to green up . I was going to ask if you are going to get you wildland fire gear ready for another year Here in BC we are dealing with large fires already .
I think I could spend days diverting water around. Felt very nice to me.
We have been below 30% rh by noon every day for the last 2 weeks. Exception today. Central bc. You gotta be prepared, sir.
Is that Mount Rainier in the background? Scenery is stunning there.
It's not good to sprinkle water on the leaves/needles when the sun is in full swing, it causes burning. Love what your doing.
We’ve already got quite a few going in Alberta and Manitoba.
Love the update! Looking at the size of those trenches you dug...I can't help but think that it would be a great excuse for you and Jack to do some burnouts on the dirtbikes. Drag-launch practice for the sake of irrigation!
I’ll be praying for yall and those fires
Awesome video!
I hope you are putting a metal roof on your cabin to help prevent your roof from catching fire from flying embers. Forget about any cedar shingle roof which is great for roof fires. Unless of course you will install a stand pipe system on your wooden roof for fire suppression. Then you can use your little fire pump trailer and hook it up to your stand pipe system.
Do you recommend sharpening your shovel in rocky country?
Still love giving Cody a hard time about him having every man tool ever made - in double and sometimes triplicate 🤣
That kind of tool acquisition is next level, something every man should strive for, even though most will fail.
Glenwood prescribed burn
That's a nice Irish shovel!
Did you consider adding another full irrigation trench and dam along that area?
Looked like your firewood got irrigated too 😂
This guy is the Bob Ross of the outdoors
Wrangler star lore is incredible “ some philistine”. What a phrase for 2024😂
You're suppose to file the other direction on left handed shovels.
( You do take care of your equipment🎯😎
Looks great, man. Love your channel. I hope my channel will be as inspirational as your channel one day.

How are the trees doing now? I was worried that was too much water
Amein to that. The father knows what we need before we do.

How resilient are they to being flooded?
Genuine Question - when you divert the irrigation at the front of your property to your fields, do you not also divert water away from your neighbours who are downstream?
What if your neighbour upstream diverted to his fields and you had no water?
genuine question here, would constant water on the roots not be bad for the trees? like cause them to rot?
Who makes a good shovel?
I don’t know much about trees, is there any worry for too much water?
day 34 of asking Cody to bring back the amazon videos
best of luck with the fire
odd ball question but what's your option of Wera ratch compared to snap-on? in England there a 1/10 of the price?
Great job! Now get that wood piles to dry land Wranglerstar Sir.
Still a little early in the season for fire starts to be much concerned, in your territory. My guess its the Conboy Hq Prescribed Fire
🙂
Which camera was used for that walking talking shot at the end? If it was your iPhone, I might just have to go buy one cause it was buttery smooth and great colour
Very cool
I’ll take iPhone videos over no video any day, but if you’ve got the time use the dslr for us it definitely make a difference.
God bless
can they become oversaturated?
You made your shovel too sharp. . . Did you find the water line?
Is there a brand of shovel I should get
Yes, get A FSS shovel made by Council Tools,
There doing a lot of prescribed burns in Oregon for the past couple weeks
Wait did you just sharpen a shovel
PROhO are you still using your phone to record or did you switch back to your camera because the quality is good.

Without the irrigation, this would turn into a dried cracked field of weeds

Bro working that shovel shaft like it was a night alone
Where do you purchase a file card?
What brand of shovel (fire tool) is that? I’m ready to buy once cry once.
Always a pleasure.
The shovel sharpening inspired me.
0:58 so disapointed it wasn’t a pocket bird 😔

Its a controlled burn near Bend
All we have is rain on the east coast Australia
Luckily, that is a controlled burn.
I love me some Dougy Firs
I truly dislike the smell of ballistol haha but you say use it so I had to get some
I love this channel. So refreshing to see a real man with life skills who's awake. This world needs you divine masculine's!
I would love to know what state this is he's in, does anyone know?
