Clearing the Chaos Removing Trees from Our Waterline After Helene

Awesome working together

Gideon drives that side by side like a boss!

Man can you even imagine the pile of seasoned firewood available for next year? I know very small issue but man thats some serious wood some even could be milled for use in other areas...

Alot of work! But y'all have the will power to get things done ❤

I never realized how much I love your "happy day" sign off until it wasn't there. Happy day!

Imagine if yall didn't have the big machines

Great job! 👏

it's going to take 18 months to 24 months to get the homestead completely back in order after the Helene - look at purchasing stand bags (your large feed bags full of sand size) so you can lay them in side by side next to the property line then cover them over with dirt to claim back the land from the creek (load them in side by side with the digger) - here in NZ we call it a "stop bank" and that is how it is done - you might even have to have the smaller feed bags full of sand in other places to full in gaps - be mindful not to let yourself or your kids burn out doing all the cleanup

Your boys are such great helpers!!❤❤🙏🙏xxoo

I thought you got gifted a wood chipper?

Wow Mr. Brown is driving Awesome!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸

This is looking really good!
I’m glad your family is hitting their stride.
I’m keeping all of you in my prayers.

You're risking your sons life by having him rest his body on that downed tree.

Thank you for posting videos even when you’re exhausted and burnt out. I appreciate you!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Use canola oil in place of chain oil.

Thanks for taking the time from everything going on and sharing. Especially while grieving and surviving and doing sales

I was thinking if you use that logs to rebuild next to the creek. If you put then lengthways, the opposite way the creek runs, and then put boulders and rocks over and between them and then gravel and soil. It would take some time to decompose and would hold the bank stable for a while. You might want to plant trees on the new bank as the roots knit together and keep it stable.

Broooo come on! Longer video!

I thought you guys were going to be gifted with a wood chipper?

Impossible goals each day. You are crushing it! Shalom(Peace) 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, what happened to the wood chipper that was going to be donated to you?

pretty sad you got your own kids doing slave labor instead of school work bud

I see a LOT of good lumber there.

I am glad to see that you are intelligently wary and prepared to listen to yourself . Great example .

Destruction: unfortunate. Working beside your sons cleaning it up: Priceless!!!

I thought the Christian group was going to give you a wood chipper? What happen to it? Why do you need to rent a wood chipper? Very confused. I thought it was a great idea when they offered to give you a wood chipper?

Watching Mr Brown driving the 4x4 across the creek and up the hill was amazing! Seems like yesterday he was riding on your back. 😊😊

Do you still have your wood burner? You’ll have heat for 3 years with all that wood.

Amazing that you and the boys have the skills to accomplish these challenging forestry tasks.🍃Thinking of everyone and thank you for taking the time to post a video during what is a very difficult time in your family’s lives 💕

🙏🙏❤❤

not a good shoes for chainsaw ....

Teamwork makes the Dreamwork

I’m not digging the 4-6 mins videos…

It was scary watching you cut the trees.

Good videos but I really wish they were longer

Never give up!! Love your passion

I had to laugh at all that safety gear, with no gloves.

Little by little like the little engine, I think I can I think I can. Blessings for all of you. Thank you for letting us have a glimpse of all you are doing. God bless you all ❤🙏🙏❤️

Unforgivable relief team never gave you a wood chipper. Saying it on camera. Shame on them. Unforgivable.😢😢😢

😊😊

If You can work like that you can work a normal Job..

So! What are you doing to get ready for the next hurricane if it happens again?

For those complaining about the length of the video, you need to remember a few things. 1-They are trying to fix the homestead and get it done before winter. 2-By the time you are looking at this video, they have already had some snow. The time they have to get anything done outside is limited. 3-It takes hours to edit a 15-minute video, and they do not have time. 4-This 6-minute video shows 3 hours of work. It does not show the 30 hours it will take to just reduce the logs into something more manageable. All the brush and small limbs will need to be reduced into chips or burned. It will need to be dragged somewhere else to not be a fire hazard if being burned. 5-The water system is temporary in nature. That way, it can be reconfigured as the pastures change. 6-A lot of homesteaders in the disaster area are not doing videos right now. They are concentrating on repairing the homesteads. 7-The children of the family still need to be homeschooled. They attend class 5 days a week, just like other children.
For those who are leaving because you are not being entertained, goodbye, and God bless. This is real life, not some fictional movie.

Look at Gidion Go 😂😂😂😂 Speedy

Undercut! Undercut! Undercut! Justin needs to learn how to cut down a tree! The work needed to clean up shows just how much the wooded areas were neglected. Not having those trees along the banks caused the soil to erode more than it should have.

Justin & Family & Crew are Great!
This is a cautionary comment about a Capital One ad that is running on this video. 
Namely beware of Cap One's pre approval for credit card ads.
 Namely after several years of zero hard pulls & a FICO score over 800 we got suckerred into Cap One's so called Pre Approved offer. But their simple application format was a "bait & switch" to run their hard pull. 
Namely Cap One then came back with a laundry list of further required documents, after their hard pull. We complied within reason, but they unreasonably wanted more. At that point we said F--- You Cap One.
The point is Cap One sucked us in to allowing their hard pull with the  initial simpke & typical Credit card appl. like most credit card cos. accept as final. But then Cap One "bait & switched" to a rediculous overly intrusive list of further required info lest we waste their then hard pull.  
If most anyone can qualify with Cap One they can qualify with most all other credit card companies with a simpler non "bait & switch" application process.
F---  you Cap One!

Hey it’s looking nice and Jonah said heck with that let me get it🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

You need to bury your water lines or your constantly going to have problems

The blessing in this is all the firewood you’ll have from this.
