Imported Red Fire Ants (Solenopsis Invicta) are an invasive ant species in the southern United States. They kill other native/beneficial ant species, endangered ground-nesting birds, and send people to hospitals. These ants are harmful to the ecology of Florida as well as many other southern states.
Ants: This looks like an amazing place to live. Let's do this!
Nolan: So you have chosen death.
Lol
Keep the oratory. If someone wants a "quiet" video they can turn the volume down. I like to hear what you have to say.
That's what I was going to say. 😂
Same here but ya beat me to it. 😄
Absolutely, narrate, narrate, narrate 😀
What was that?
Hell yeah! People need to take responsibility for their own hearing and not complain to the creators that are making the videos that you want to watch. It's like watching How Ridiculous and expecting asmr, you knew what you were getting into before the video started
When you ask the kid who burns ants with a magnifying glass what he wants to be when he grows up.
Is that how you categories people, no wonder "Silent Kids that bring guns to school" is a trending category today🙄
Found em!
Lol
nono. this is the kid who puts the ant in a small bit of gunpowder before using the magnifying glass.
@@OP-1505 can't you take a joke, lady? Ugh, people these days.
It never ceases to amaze me how complex these anthills can get. Nature rules!
I have to say, I'm a huge fan of Ants Canada and was somewhat horrified when this video came up on my recommended list. HOWEVER, watching the video i see you're attacking invasive species only, so on that i take my hat off to you. Kudos.
agree 1000%
Same my dude.
not to under estimate the harmless small black ants if you do they will get inside you and will eat your organs
And I just thought how sad AntsCanada would be if he ever happens to see it.
Please don't tell him about this video)
@@alexbeck204 I'm pretty sure Mikey already knows about it.
I had no interest in this type of video until the TH-cam algorithms suggested it. Now I'm here and a whole new world of sculpture has been introduced to me. Thanks TH-cam!
I had interest when i first saw an ant casting.
Worker ant : gotta go home and show this cookie crumb to queen ant
*finds out what happend*
Ant : yo wt-
Ant: I'm rich!!
Ants: Why my home become a Christmas Tree?
Yes xD
I look
LOL
Your narration is welcome, Nolan. Natural sounds are preferred, not music. Glad you put this casting back together, it's beautiful. Hope you get a good price for it.
I like how u explain everything that u r doing
Keep on doing what you do I like it
He failed to explain why exactly!
Funny profile picture LOL
After suffering an attack of my feet years ago by these little bastards I see this as a fitting revenge. well done!
I hear ya!
Yep, made the mistake of going into my vegetable garden barefoot a few summers back; went in to hoe a bit. Was attacked by a colony of some kind of ant. Stinging sensations and swollen feet afterwards!
Right there with you ! Had them in Florida and Texas. Now living in the Rocky mountains. Had enough of insects and floods.
Same here mate, ants killed my pet crabs, I will never trust them again
Ants ate my pet bird and my pet lizards hate those little devils
I think you're an excellent, interesting, effective explainer who adds much value to your fascinating videos. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the fine offerings.
The narration is perfect. I'm happy to see you brazed the 2 pieces together to complete the cast. Beautiful work. I could recommend narrating more on the melting. We can all learn safer techniques this way. Great job!!!
Having lived in both Florida and Texas, both with fire ants.......... I applaud you. We moved out of the "glorious south" but still have scars on our feet, ankles and legs from fire ants. We gave them the boiling water treatment after we grew tired of spending 50.00 per month on poison. And boiling water is better for the environment.
Once, I accidentally stood on a fire ant hill while waiting on the school bus and I didn't notice anything until I looked down before I got on the bus and notice I was standing in the ant hill. I looked at my shoes and at my pants and I didn't see any ants at all so I thought oh I must be lucky. Man was I wrong those things were literally in my pants leg and in my shoe biting me up I had blisters all over my ankles and feet for days. I was smacking my legs and looking super crazy, until I pulled up my pants leg and showed the bus driver.
I’m from California but I had cousins who lived in Texas I suggest using gunpowder to blow their hiding holes up for some twisted reason but it worked ... especially solving the Hornet Nest Issues
I have no idea how I found this channel. I'm disturbed by how interesting I find the whole process and by his beautiful the castings are.
It looks easier and quicker in Minecraft to smelt lmao
Yes
Unfortunately, gamers having easy access to real smelters would just lead to "Pouring smelted metal on my head Challenge" or "Drink smelted metal Challenge"
Well since you need to exterminate them for being invasive, you might as well get something cool looking.
have them attack you or a loved one. You enjoy this video.
Keep the commentary! There are great insights that help visualize what's going on. When you mentioned that it was likely not smoke coming from the ant hill, it was likely steam, that helps us visualize what's happening as the aluminum makes its way through the wet soil tunnels.
Great vid, keep it up!
I like the narration. I also would have liked to see how you connected the two pieces to make it whole again. Great work!
Many ants were harmed in the filming. And that's the point of this exciting ant removal / natural work of art creation system.
Where's PETA on this?... I guess they only care about four legged animals🤔
@@billthecat129 They also end up killing most of the animals they "save"
@Eileen Ramirez its called satire....i guess too satirical
@@billthecat129 PETA is a joke, they are too busy claiming that using words like "pet" is demeaning to your animals.
When the ants hear boss music
Count me as another one that likes the narration. The only problem is the background sound covers your voice. A wireless mic should be your very next gear acquisition. It's not that hard to edit sound, depending on your software. And it will make it so we can hear what you're saying.
And Merry Christmas!
I’m glad you reconnected the two pieces back together. I enjoy the work you are doing.
Always always explain as if this is the first time you are doing this and it’s the first time someone is seeing something like this, because it might be :)
... because this afternoon is the first time I've ever seen this done. Thank for the video!
It is mine
My dog once found an anthill nest he didn’t know what it was and laid down sniffing the ants he didn’t mean any harm but a couple ants bit him on the stomach and he jumped up he began sniffing it again and an ant crawled up his nose and bit him he ran around the yard like a maniac until he shoved his face in the lake in our backyard thank you for getting revenge for him
If the last line wasn't savage I don't know even what is😂
A dutchie! I love D.A.D’s !! Your’s is very bright and colourful!
@@redarrowish6567 Awww thx ☺️
Poor dog. He ok?
@@Jenna2k yea that was a few years ago he still doesn’t like ants tho
Another successful cast, it turned out really good.
Thank you!
@@NolansAnthillCastings do you have a shop?
@@NolansAnthillCastings please let me know you are selling these castings...
Selling them locally in central Florida
I'm a biology nerd, artist, metal sculptor, welder, and all around metal worker, and I am in absolute awe of this hive! Ive seen this kind of thing done with other materials in huge hives on bbc docs, but this blew my mind today. Thanks!
You're the first Anthill "caster" I've heard explain things. Thanks! 👍💌 Must be nice to have sandy soil! Ours is clay. Love the finished product! 👏👏
The finished casting looked AMAZING!!!
i love hearing you explain what you are doing. thats so cool and i love the casts when they are finished. i wish it was possible to see inside the ant hill as the cast sets. that would be awesome too
No music, only the sounds of work being done and excellent narration. Thank you.
The dislikes are from the ant souls
😂😂😂
But do ants have souls!???
Very interesting vid man. I'd never thought about anything like this. Very unique & I like the narrating for those of us who don't have any idea what you're working on. Keep up the great work!
Yes keep narrating your videos. First time viewer and that was too cool. Subscribed today.
It's a perfect mix of hearing what your doing and your narrative insights.
I LOVE the narrating, learned so much from this video. as a beginner in casting, this really helps!
I’m glad to hear that!
Dude, that looks awesome, and yes, commentary is a necessity.... keep up the good work, cheers from New Zealand.
I like hearing you explaining your process. Knowing what you're doing and why really gives it an edutainment feel.
This is absolutely fascinating, it's my first time seeing this and your explanations made it all the better...Thank You!
Wow! It is always amazing to see how intricate and how far the nest goes underground. The surface only gives a small clue, very cool.
I Always admired this type of creative art work ALOHA 🤙🏽🌺🍍🌴
I think it’s good that you narrate every video like this. It’s good practice because you’ll always have new people watching your videos who don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing. Awesome cast by the way 👍🏻
Yeah especially those who barely start on any casting gotta know how to do it the right way as well no shortcuts ya know
Ants : Do you hear that?
Come sweet death "playing in the background".
Shinji would've been proud
watching someone trying to scoop things from a liquid with a tool that has about as much scooping ability as a fork is strangely frustrating
I appreciate the commentary while you're working, keep it up!
I love hearing you talk through it actually :}
Might I add, making a sort of mini series where you fix broken casts could breathe some extra life into the channel, and, perhaps make your casting channel a bit unique from others.
Well, that was worth the wait.. I am gonna have to check out a few more of your videos! Well done!
I am so glad you decided to put it back together. Don't get me wrong, either way it looks good but as one larger piece, it looks amazing! MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 🎅
I like the explanation of what you’re doing.
I appreciate your narrative. It saved me asking about what you were skimming off the molten aluminum.
I like hearing commentary because I learn more and become more interested.
Love the explaining it really helps us understand what is going on.
Of course I love it when you narrate and explain things. Your videos are always so intriguing
I’m sure I’m not the first to say how Game of Thrones this looks. Or Lord of the Rings. I love this!!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
I really like you explaining what you’re doing. This is pretty far from my life that I love to learn about what you are doing. And the castings are beautiful. Thanks!
This was fascinating! Thank you for taking the time to share!
All the way from Africa. Only change i could advise is the length. Your commentary is on point. Keep it up bro
Explanation is good and informative.
Always keep being you! That’s why we like the videos! No need to be quiet. I enjoy
I have never seen anyone melting metal before let alone casting anthills! Please continue explaining what you're doing and why. It's fascinating! 👍
Always explain as the entire process is fascinating.
Please continue to explain and commentate, cuz you teach us that way.
I really enjoy the narrative ...there's nothing like watching, and listening, to another person work. It reminds me of a lazy Sunday afternoon in the 70s, listening to my parents moving rocks around in the garden ...peaceful, constructive problem solving.
The narration was great and very educational!
JUST A THOUGHT: Imagine relaxing at home and scorching hot metal begins to pour in your home to be casted!
Anywho it’s beautiful art to say the least!
He only.goes after invasive species. Basically the ones that deserve it.
Imagining that made me smile. I think I need help...
I liked the part when he poured molten aluminium down the ant hill.
Commentary is good, puts us in your frame of mind as you do the melting and casting.
I enjoy the narrative as well. Beautiful piece.
What a cool modern art sculpture.
Have you thought of casting other underground nests? Perhaps wasps or hornets, safely of course.
I gotta say, the explanations and narrations are a nice addition to the video and I like them.
I liked the explanations. And thank you for spelling y'all correctly.
Badass man. Keep the narrations.
Frist time seeing this And I llike it when u explain what Your doing
I like the explanation as you go. I find this very interesting.
I like it when you explain what you are doing!
Dude took any bully to the next level 😂😂
Beautiful work!
Love your breakdown methods..thank you.
Glad you braised it back together, looks great!
I need to do this in my yard. Every summer and spring the kitchen is taken over by ants!
Lol
Ants: “RRRRRUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!
I like the narration & the explanations.
Way more informative & educational.
Awesome video! I appreciate your talking us through things. Very cool.
Glad you were able to make it whole again
I feel like if you had two going it would have had a better seal/melt. Love the commentary as you were doing the work!
I enjoy the narration, it helps me know what's going on when you are doing it, so I say keep on please!
I prefer narration of what is taking place, I am not always sure and my questions are answered. Awesome video! Thx!!
the narrating is pretty nice, you might want to consider doing narrations during editing to reduce the background noise
Keep with the narrating. Wanting to do this myself down here in South Central Texas and your experience is greatly appreciated.
I appreciate it when you explain what you are doing - I also appreciate your art!
I love the explanations and narrations. Helps me understand what is going on fully. Keep up the awesome content.
Please keep the sound. This is so cool!
New sub. I’m hooked to this kinds of videos rn.
Amazing. Putting the two parts together was a good call.
If you listen closely you can hear their tiny little screams ! Nice casting !
Narrating is a good thing!
I love your profile pic! Where did you get it?
Nolan. I appreciate the technical information and the 'blow by blow' accounts you provide. Keep it up!
