  • The old pole barn I built back when I was 19 almost got blown down by the wind last night and we had to jump into action quickly to try and save it. Thanks for joining me as I put temporary roping up to save it. Stay Tuned for More.

    Otto your audio is fine, don't worry about a little wind sound. Speak up, that's all. I always enjoy watching you because you're a true character, I believe you know every piece of land for a hundred miles around. I was wondering if they ever come to you and your son to locate and extract people that are lost. Otto you keep making videos and I'll continue to watch them. The whole family has Grit.

    Hello Otto. Don't understand how just having a small roof over hay, with no side walls is supposed to keep it was getting wet and moldly. I have seen your building abilties and know you can build something a lot better than what looks like tootpicks with a roof and expect it to hold. I would of planted a bunch of steal braces and poles in the ground and attack the roof to it and make it a lot better and more sturdy.

    • @jasonh4167
      @jasonh4167 2 місяці тому

      The hay gets wet but dries fast due to being open. The roof is for stopping snowpack from sitting on hay witch does mold hay.

      I agree with you 100% man!!. "It's a crisis. We gotta get it fixed right now, or that hay is gonna get ruined". That hay is already shit. It probably was shit already back when he baled it and put it there. You call that a hay barn? It's a roof setting on some spindly trees. Its a POS just like everything he has. And she's just playing along. "Oh no. Can we fix it now? Can we tie a rope to a rock and throw it over? We gotta hurry Otto". And Otto just happens to have a rock on the 4 wheeler right behind him. Seriously? "We could tie it to a tree but the tree is moving, so that wouldn't work". No shit Sherlock. And "I know you had dinner plans but we are in the middle of a crisis. That's just how it goes on a homestead". He always makes everything sound like everything is an immediate crisis, and he is such a genius and good farmer. Have you seen his equipment, and his cattle, and what he calls his pens and barns for them? It's all as pathetic as his "hay barn". And his cattle are a sorry bunch too. They are a bunch of inbred runts. He is an idiot. I have friends that live in Alaska, and they say Alaskan's are embarrassed by his show supposedly representing how people are in Alaska. And why do you think his daughter Jewel got the hell out of there? Because of what he is, and she couldn't take him anymore.

    • @JulianKeller-om6wz
      @JulianKeller-om6wz 2 місяці тому

      I agree with you 100%!! They used the wind as an excuse to stage that little fiasco. What a joke that whole thing is. "We gotta get this hay barn fixed or it's gonna come down and all that hay is gonna be ruined". You call that a hay barn? It's a pieced together roof setting on some spindly trees. And, "all that hay"..maybe like 50 bales? And I dont think he has to worry about it getting ruined. Looking at it, it already looks like it's shit. And her. "Can we tie a rock to a rope and throw it over"? And Otto just happens to have a rock right there on the 4 wheeler. "We gotta hurry, Otto". Who the hell is she? Does she not know how he treated his previous wife that died? And I like, "We could tie it to a tree, but the tree is moving from the wind, so that won't work". Noooo shit Sherlock. And, "I know you had dinner plans, but we're in the middle of a crisis here. That's just how things are on a homestead". "Farmers don't know if or when they have time to take a shit". Give me a break. Like you said. It's a created crisis. And then he always tries to make himself sould like such genius and good, hard working farmer. That "barn" is a POS just like everything else around the place. Have you seen his equipment? And his cattle, and what he calls pens and barns that he keeps them in? It's all pieced together junk, just like the hay barn. And his cattle are a bunch of inbred runts. He is a freckin idiot. I can't believe a network ever took him on for a show. I have friends that live in Alaska, and they have said people are embarrassed by him supposedly representing what Alaskan's are like. And why do you think his daughter Jewel got the hell out of there? Because she couldn't take him anymore.
