I'm with you on that. Normally I don't care for "unboxing videos" but since it pertains to something I'm interested in, and Simeon doesn't spend 10 minutes featuring, describing, and modelling each item, it's not hard to watch.
Yes, finally an "Un-boxing" worthy of attention. Simeon, I thank you, this was fun. Good stuff you got there, and you got a free pallet to use as well. Peace, Love and Light my friend!
I like your unboxing video. I see you get and use the same things we use in America. One of the things I like about the internet to see how other people do the gardens, raise chicken and I love your cows.
How fun! This netting is going to make everything easier and more flexible for your pasture rotation and for protecting your livestock. I think those anchors are for securing corner poles with some twine or rope; doing so will stretch the netting taut. I find that when I put my net fencing on rough ground or on a slope, the netting sags - you may find a few extra poles or even tall, notched wooden stakes useful in that situation. Thank you for posting your videos.
I enjoy seeing your new equipment. You were good at getting to the point showing and explaining why you decided on investing in the upgrades. I am looking forward to seeing them installed and hear your feedback on how well they all perform.
I never got the "It's Chirstmas" look what I got for free to promote this product & my channel. That being said, I did enjoy you showing how the fence was shipped /packaged. The cost being more, but saving more in the long run. Good video.
OH YEA!!! kinda like Christmas all over again :-) I was making Strawberry preserves as I watched you open your box of goodies. Looks great ! Im sure we will see you fence it in a video sometime in the future. I always seem enjoy your videos. Its so helpful to watch you
I have just bought all the same useful equipment that you have a couple of months ago. The only thing with the mesh fence is that the length between each pole is too much and causes the fence to sag. I ended up buying 15 more plastic electric fence stays with the multi lugs(these are much cheaper than buying more extra poles) and this keeps it more taught. When you move your chickens it is much quicker to have the other fence already set up at the opening of the older one, saves heaps of time. Good luck with your new toys.
Loved the video, I had already put together pretty much the same order. It's sitting in my Amazon shopping cart. I'm just got 80 Chicks today. I'll need the netting soon. Guess I better place that order ! Great video :)
I watch your channel every day , you are doing a fantastic show . I’m 75 years old I’ve been in business for almost 60 years as a Cosmotoligist since I was 19 years old !!!🇺🇸👏🤩. As a small business man not funded by any one ☝️ I’ve been very successful because of the family I have > I understand some of your challenges, just stay healthy .

Get a three ring binder [ like the ones used by students] and put some note book paper in it. Staple or tape all the instructions, receipts to the pages. Place the new items on the top. Doing this will give you the information you might need in the future.
Hi Simeon, when you begin selling eggs, try to encourage your customers to bring back the egg flats (or cartons) for reuse. I've seen some farmers that give 5cents or 10cents off the price of the next quantity of eggs for each carton/flat returned. So long as they're kept clean and dry, they are reuseable for several cycles. I think the word you wanted for the "spark" was "controller", as in the electric fence controller :) Hope it works well for you.
For testing if a fence is hot , I use a piece of insulted wire with the ends stripped. i just watch for the arc of the electricity. I leave small pieces of this wire in the locations where i need them.
I just put my hand on it. Doesn't kill you. No, it's not terribly pleasant, either, but I don't need to order anything, make anything, or make sure anything is in my pocket before I head out in the field. It's like putting a 9v battery on your tongue, it won't hurt you, and it's a fast way to tell if the battery is dead or not. Now, 9v batteries and low-voltage electric fences is where I draw the line. I certainly don't advocate anyone play around with electricity, for that, one should definitely invest in a voltage detector or let an experienced professional deal with that. In all fairness, I can accept that there are people out there who don't enjoy experiencing a "jolt" from a hot fence, and that I am the exception to the rule.
The solar charger looks interesting, I've been considering a small solar set-up to provide lighting and perhaps a means of charging cordless power tools. Is solar energy something you'd like to experiment with in other aspects of the homestead?
Yes. I would love to have a solar driven pump at the lake and solar panels on top of the barn. All in due time though. It is exciting to see how much solar panels have dropped in price the last decades....
Simeon, I was wondering is your whole family, you, your wife, and kids tri-lingual, English-German-Swedish? I would find that really interesting and is there a predominant language you speak around the farm?
I'd like to see the...detailed...installation of that fence. Everyone always shows the fence part. No one ever shows the electrical connections in...enough...detail.
I am very much curious how it will works for many reasons. First is the size of solar panel. I would expected 2 or 3 times larger stuff. The black box device is probably charge controller, that stabilize the DC current flowing to battery and some types charge controllers also stop charging when the battery is fully charged, that prevents overcharging and burning the battery. Otherwise it all should work. Solar panel creates DS current, charge controller stabilize, battery stores the 12V DC and vires use DC. Inverter is no need.
Electric fences are quite low power, otherwise they wouldn't run off battery for very long. It's a high voltage, but for a very short time and with almost no current - that's why they stop working if there's a connection to ground. And also how they can work with such thin wires in the fence part. The wires from the battery to the electric fence energiser are mostly thick so they last longer. In Australia (where I am) they sell a lot of ready-made solar electric fence units which makes it easy to see the specifications. The link below is to a unit that will power 1km of fence and draws 15mA at 6V, or 0.09 watts. So Simeon's 8W panel should be ample, even in the cold, dark far north (compared to Australia) www.electricfenceaustralia.com.au/electric-fence-online-store/electric-fence-energizers/solar-powered-energisers/patriot-solarguard-50-1km-solar-energiser-detail.html
Oh God, it's orange. To me that is an eyesore on a farm, no negativity intended Simeon, you know I am a subscriber and I love your channel. Don't they make green?
Not speaking for Simeon, but sometimes orange is good, for its' high visibility, so that you wouldn't run a machine into it. I can see where someone would want a more subdued color. Personally, I've seen snow and safety fencing available in a variety of colors, though orange, and black would be the most popular I've noticed around where I'm from. I can imagine that if you went to a manufacturer wanting to buy 10 million dollars worth of the stuff, they would find a way to have it come out of the machine in even a rainbow color, if that's what a customer wanted. It's easy to tint plastic at the time it's being made.
Is orange fence color adding to scare of predators? It would disturb me personally to have that color around in the environment you are working, living.
sry, offtopic: you said "preassure treated wood" is poisionish and should not be used in contact with garden soil. this is what i know too. but why? which bad things are used and pressed in the wood? If it would be ecofriedly oil? does anyboby know?
Originally they thought the modern chromated copper arsenate (known as CCA) didn’t harm plants, unlike creosote and pentachlorophenol, two previously popular wood preservatives. But then word started seeping out that those CCA chemicals weren’t so perfectly bound up after all, that some of them, in fact, migrated from the wood into the surrounding soil. And that’s when pressure-treated wood moved into the hot seat.
thank you! it might be a market for treated wood without harm to the plants and the humans who eat them. is there a company which want to sell this? i am wondering why not.
Why not put the whole thing on a pallet, mounted on it, and move it by forks on the tractor? Battery is Heavy, and the gadgets last longer if the have some kind of weather protection.
Buy some paint in the same color as your fencing. Paint a little of it on anything you want animals to stay away from. In other words, this is the "fear color". Of course do not over do it.
Peter Los Angelos Only if you are thinking like a human. Animals do have varying abilities to see colors above and below what a human can pereceve on the light spectrum. They also communicate [ pick up on ] each other's fears. This is how they teach their young what is safe to eat, and who to fear. Check out the topic of Zoobicuity for further insights.
If you can't remember the English word for something maybe say it in another language. Many times the German word is similar to the English word. Not so much for Swedish.

It's good to see these systems from box to operation, helps take some of the techie-fear out of it!
Wow, that's a lot of cool stuff. I love that feeling of excitement when deliveries come. Happy fencing and land management.
Thanks.
Always nice to receive new equipment that will improve your infrastructure and efficiency. Have fun setting all up and I look forward to seeing it!
Thanks.

looking forward to the next video 👍👍
I've never had to use any device to test for a current ,I find by simply urinating directly onto the fence will give a very accurate result !!!.
OUCH!
Oh my... You are hired as a official tester on our farm...
OH YEA!!! kinda like Christmas all over again :-) I was making Strawberry preserves as I watched you open your box of goodies. Looks great ! Im sure we will see you fence it in a video sometime in the future.

We speak mainly English and German on the farm. Swedish with everyone else.
I'd like to see the...detailed...installation of that fence. Everyone always shows the fence part. No one ever shows the electrical connections in...enough...detail.
Exciting! What company did you get your fencing from? Is it a better value than Premier?
The netting is from a German company called Euro netz

Is there any chance of you guys doing those blog recipes (in English) on TH-cam?
The item you could not name is what we call a "fence charger"
Do you have much of a problem with theft? Just wondering about how safe the solar equipment will be when not in line of sight.
We don't really have issues with that here. Very rare. But it is something to consider...
No low charged wire close to the ground to discourage predators who dig?
They don't dig close to the fence that gave them a good shock.
One time I ordered ducks. I called it getting ducks. I saw someone online who called it, 'unboxing ducks'. (bizarre)
(the term unboxing)
Hi saimon where did u buy the nett , means from witch site.
Is orange fence color adding to scare of predators? It would disturb me personally to have that color around in the environment you are working, living.
I could have bought green but it was $30 more / net
Where did you order the electric poultry netting?
I have been looking on the net but prices vary a lot.

Mount it on the pallet, sticking down a bit. On the side or with a wooden contraption?
