I'm new to your channel. I just wanted to say, first, let your weird shine bright! Second, I appreciate so much that you show your family praying together before your meal. Third, including your children in your daily tasks is amazing. Thank you.
That's great that you can get those trees out of the way for the expansion on the trailer. I like how you get your cut very straight all across the stumps. Those patterns are nice. It sure is nice to have that tractor to do the cleaning up! I'm so glad the boys help. This last weekend I was helping cut and remove blackberry canes from around buried cars at a farm. The family had lived at the farm for 35 years and many cars are hidden in the blackberry canes. I had a machete, a lopper, and a hay fork. Fun! Yum, that crispy chicken looks great Meg! Yay, Corbin supervising the chicken cooking. The "Ohhh" of the crispy chicken in the sunlight is NOT weird! It is awe inspiring. Great job cooking outside. That is a great way to keep the mess out of the kitchen! Thanks for this video Hollar family!
I love your weirdness. Please do not stop being your authentic selves. You are so valuable, just the way you are. God bless you all. Congratulations on the new baby.
Never weird but freaking Genius !!! Majority of people couldn’t do what you do smart men 🙌🏼 Meg you are helluva cook !! Wish I had some of that bread with prosciutto on the side lol ❤
I wish we didn't live states away; my hubby could've brought his stump grinder over and had those stumps ground down in a few hours. Then you would've had a nice pile of wood chips to use! But I admire your hard work and ingenuity getting it done your way! Really exciting to see the new addition being built!
I watch your videos all the the time but I missed something! Congratulations on the new baby! I just love this family… I feel like a cousin down the road!🥰🙌🏾
Great video and those two tree stumps should be turned upside down and carved with a grinder to make bum shapes and buggie and someone else can sit on the new porch on a summer’s night with you and Meg they would make great chair- stools
Ben and Meg---Kudos to your success in building your homestead. You are parents to multiple children and seems more to come. Please share your vision and plan to expand your homestead to accommodate your existing and growing family.
My daughter fries up 2-3 lbs of bacon at a time and it is always done outside. Then she puts in containers in the freezer. Bacon ready to go any time she needs it 😊.
Ben, about 20 years ago, we cut a large tree down to the ground. Leaving soom of the stump and roots. Then we built a garage with a asphalt floor. The ground level stump and roots rotted and created a sinkhole in the garage floor. I just had to share our story, so you would know what can happen to the remaining stump and roots in your project.
Hollow out a enough of the center and turn it into a flower pot? OR build a raised bed around the stump as a border box for the new build and fill it with flowers ? (IF you feel like you want to mask the fact that there is a stump there).
Thank you Beautiful People for being real and sharing your sense of humor with us. Appreciate the smiles 😁. The beautiful patterns in the stumps made me think of so many different things to make with the wood. Maybe a few large wood cookies can be used for future projects or as gifts. But I understand priorities. Looking forward to seeing the additions 😊. Stay safe and warm. God Bless Y'all. Love and Prayers For All ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
We would LOVE a video on the bloomin onions! Also just wanted to say how awesome your kiddos are! I'm a mom, and know they all have good and bad days, but your kids are just super cool. Well behaved, good imagination, happy and helpful young men. Corbin was a pro on the fryer with dad! You guys are great to watch, very inspiring!🤗
For me I would put those stumps near the burn pit for some tables while sitting at the fire. Then maybe later burn the middle out to make some drums out of them. Pow wow style drums with some hide for the drum heads. Just a thought.
Congratulations on your new future addition. I love to see how your family works together to get things accomplished. While giving God glory at the dinner table.
Good Evening Ben. Those tree trunks patterns are really beautiful. Are you going to use them to make somethings with them in the future. Can't wait to see the build you are going to make in that space where you removed the trees from. Blessing to you and your family.
Those sandwhiches look so good. That Corbin, he's a go getter. He stays close to dad and is ready to go. ( impression I get ). Great family. Can't wait to meet the newest member soon.
Reading through the comments everyone is saying "don't burn the stumps, use them for..."! I feel the same way. The patterning will come back once you start preserving the wood. That's the prettiest pattern on a tree trunk I ever saw. My brother-in-law made his daughter a charcuterie board from a tree he cut down that had pretty patterning in the wood like that. I bet Meg would love a couple boards if you turned them into charcuterie boards for her!!!! The pattern will return as the wood is being finished. It's just too gorgeous a wood to burn. If you do refinish the wood, leave the bark on. That gives it even more of a rustic look. Maybe surprise Meg on her birthday or Christmas with something beautiful you made from the stumps! You guys have about talked me into getting a camp stove like that! I love it!!
Spoken like someone who has too much time and Absolutely zero real world knowledge or experience. These stumps are good for nothing but fire wood but even that would be more work than it’s worth.
I have been watching your videos for the past year. I am 66 years old and just love your family. Your children are incredible! I was fortunate to be raised in the country. I was taught responsibility and enjoyed every single day that I got filthy working with the animals or the garden or building yet another structure for some animal I rescued. There were days when my mother would literally hose me down before allowed inside😂 God Bless all of you and thank you for the smiles you bring me with your videos!!
For a while my bro and sis in law had a property with lots of big old trees. He had to get himself a big imposing Husqvarna to take down BIG branches that were too close to the ground, or were just too dangerous to be left on the tree. He also got himself a big log cutter. And a big riding mower. He was living the lumberjack dream.😊
It takes a weirdo to know a great weirdo!!! I love the weirdos on the Hollard Homestead so much!!! You guys at that table having your "better that copy-cat chicken sandwiches"-wow!! It doesn't get any better than that!!!
You know those wood stumps would make great table trivet or wall clocks with those beautiful designs. Not sure how many you could get out of them or use for carving something out of them. Always an enjoyment watching your channel. 😊
I would love to have a cutting board, side chair table top even a window shelf for plants or something else to catch the sun made from the stumps! A light stain and several layers of a waterproof sealer depending upon how it's used and that wood pattern would be outstanding!!! It's so naturally beautiful that nothing man-made could compare. I'll bet artists that work with wood would buy them as they are so different. Uniform tree rings can be pretty but those trees have a most unusual pattern.
Meg… would you tell Brett I would LOVE to have a a chicken beating wooden spoon. I collect handmade wooden utensils… of course I will pay him for his hard work ❤❤❤❤❤
Okay, I’ve learned I shouldn’t watch your videos when I haven’t eaten! By the end I’m starving for whatever you are preparing 😊! Taking care of those tree stumps was a lot of hard work…I bet you’re more than happy that job is done😵💫😵💫! I can’t wait for the new addition to begin🥰!
Oh my lord, we dug out 3 trees about 11 years ago, i think the blood sweat and tears helped to get it out in the end as i can assure you there was many! Good luck guys and girl xx
Nothing wrong being a couple of weirdos ….. my Hubbie and I are weird as well. It’s our shorthand with each other that makes us laugh and be weird together. Even the kids join in with the weird. The world would be a better place if there was a bit more weird. Thanks for the video. 😃👏👏
Hey Meg! Use that camp stove for your canning. I used my Blackstone for water bath canning and I loved it. It kept the house from being heated up. I don't pressure can, but your last video on canning the beef and broth took some of that fear away. Soooo....I guess I'm going to give it ago.
HI Hollers and new one!! enjoying everything you post … I loved your inscription on the wall board!! “The only thing to decide is what to do with the time we are given” love it ❤
Weird in the most wonderful way. Just love watching your videos....thank you! After that stump dries out, use it as a table outside....it is so pretty. God makes some awesome designs in nature.
Great job all of you. I still get a giggle 😂 out of watching your lads helping you work and they all have bare feet. It is a lot warmer where you folks are, where I live it is 0 C/32 F. Too cold for bare feet unless you are going for a polar bear dip.
I hit a t-post in a tree once…confused the heck out of me. The most organized junk drawer in the world😂😂😂😂 I can’t open mine for couple days sometimes 😂😂😢
❤ those sammys looked really good! I know ive stopped eating fast food to a slow roll. Now its just disappointment to get a burger out. I do only ground bison and do my old recipe of chopped onions, Worcestershire sauce, s n pepper, medium rare with a handful of lettuce and thick tomato.mustard❤❤❤❤
Hey Welcome To The Weirdo Club!!! Were all Weirdo's because we can😊. Love watching y'all. Your teenagers look like they're biting at the bit to learn using the tractor. They love doing the heavy work.
Meg I love to see your delicious dishes you make for dinner everyday. Those bread looks delicious. Meg been pregnant you don't look tired at all. Keep it up and do rest as well. Have a restful sleep.
When I was a kid in the 60's and 70's my sisters and I would have to dig stumps and once we got all the way under it we would have a bonfire and weenie roast. Fun times. We just did things together. If we brought our mom a pail of huckleberries she made us something wonderful. Such wonderful memories.
Ben those stumps would make nice mini side table tops. Just sliced them. I had one included one of the side roots actually looks like a face with a long body so I am using it in the garden as a decoration. Or make "place mat"s out of them.

Weird recognizing acknowledging and enjoying weird!😂. It’s what I love about y’all! Kindred spirits!😜
I'm Southern. We don't hide our crazy folks. We sit them on the porch with a glass of sweet tea! ;)
Those stumps would make an awesome side table or coffee table.
Love the way you teach your children, just include them in the activity, they will be prepared for life for sure!
I love your weirdness. Please do not stop being your authentic selves. You are so valuable, just the way you are. God bless you all. Congratulations on the new baby.
Never weird but freaking Genius !!! Majority of people couldn’t do what you do smart men 🙌🏼 Meg you are helluva cook !! Wish I had some of that bread with prosciutto on the side lol ❤
Not weird at all, just the envy of us all. Love your channel and your family.
Corbin is learning so much and can do so much by following his momo and dad
BIG CONGRATS on the new baby. Hope buggy gets a sister!!
I wish we didn't live states away; my hubby could've brought his stump grinder over and had those stumps ground down in a few hours. Then you would've had a nice pile of wood chips to use!

I watch your videos all the the time but I missed something! Congratulations on the new baby! I just love this family… I feel like a cousin down the road!🥰🙌🏾
This world needs more weird....I know I do.....life is such a pain without weird. 🤗
100% agree
Great video and those two tree stumps should be turned upside down and carved with a grinder to make bum shapes and buggie and someone else can sit on the new porch on a summer’s night with you and Meg they would make great chair- stools
Ben and Meg---Kudos to your success in building your homestead. You are parents to multiple children and seems more to come.

Frying outside....perfect all the way around!!!
My daughter fries up 2-3 lbs of bacon at a time and it is always done outside. Then she puts in containers in the freezer. Bacon ready to go any time she needs it 😊.
No don't burn the stumps, sell them to furniture artisan woodworkers, they would love those patterns!
Jason could make some beautiful artwork out of those!!!
Never thought weird thought it was normal..lol❤
I came to say.... MAKE SOMETHING!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Ben, about 20 years ago, we cut a large tree down to the ground. Leaving soom of the stump and roots. Then we built a garage with a asphalt floor. The ground level stump and roots rotted and created a sinkhole in the garage floor. I just had to share our story, so you would know what can happen to the remaining stump and roots in your project.
I was thinking the same thing!
Stumps would make nice legs for an outside big family dinner table.
Hollow out a enough of the center and turn it into a flower pot? OR build a raised bed around the stump as a border box for the new build and fill it with flowers ? (IF you feel like you want to mask the fact that there is a stump there).
My family uses big stumps like that for axe-throwing targets (also used for the ninja stars my brother made).
The stumps..drill holes in them and pour table salt in those holes! Buh bye stumps! Learned that from working in the logging industry!
Sweet compliment to buggy from her brother ♥ I just loved that so much xx
I missed that!
I'm through about 85% of your content. Must say I'm living vicariously through you guys. Blessings your way!
That’s a lot of us to watch 🙈😂 Thanks for joining us!
I'm doing the same lol, would love to be able to do what they are doing
@@TheHollarHomestead dont burn the stumps please!! Make cutting boards from them or show boards with your brand/channelname 😊
Love your videos lots of fun.
Is that legal in the US ?
Love your family, love the life you have chosen for them ❤
turn the stumps coffee tables and makes a little side cash :)
love from down under.
Those stumps would make two great end tables or night stands!!!
I would hardly call you guys weird, you are all inspiring , uplifting and an amazing family
Thank you Beautiful People for being real and sharing your sense of humor with us. Appreciate the smiles 😁.

Those stumps are beautiful, keep them and make cool looking cutting board.
Happy February to my Favorite Family.
We would LOVE a video on the bloomin onions! Also just wanted to say how awesome your kiddos are! I'm a mom, and know they all have good and bad days, but your kids are just super cool. Well behaved, good imagination, happy and helpful young men. Corbin was a pro on the fryer with dad! You guys are great to watch, very inspiring!🤗
I used this recipe! kentrollins.com/blooming-onion/#recipe
@@TheHollarHomestead thank you!
That is called "spalting" Bowl turned will pay big bucks for those logs!
Yup and once the wood drys,is worked then oiled the patterns show up again beautifully.
The stumps look like cool stools or side tables !
For me I would put those stumps near the burn pit for some tables while sitting at the fire. Then maybe later burn the middle out to make some drums out of them. Pow wow style drums with some hide for the drum heads. Just a thought.
Those stumps would make beautiful tables.
If only my junk drawer could be like yours...sighhhh. I would take a picture and flood the internet with pride and joy! 😂😂
Yes, I would ❤ to get those stumps!!!👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Congratulations on your new future addition. I love to see how your family works together to get things accomplished. While giving God glory at the dinner table.
those cuts from the stumps would be amazing for a wood turner to make into bowls
Those chicken chunks looked yummy coming out of that pan. Good job, Corbin.
Nice of you, aBen to offer to cook them outside.
This grandma here is telling you it’s an excellent way to sharpen the chainsaw, a smart man you are 😊
Ben and Meg.... I love your videos..... A bit of everything and all on the one channel... Thanks❤
I’m a 73 year old Grammy and absolutely love Corbin! Precious son, but all of your kids are wonderful.
I think you're all wonderful. God Bless you All ❤
Those patterns would look beautiful in a homemade clock
very exciting preparing for the building additions..and the sandwiches look so yummy, bon appetit!
Stumps are gone! Dinner looks fantastic!
Good Evening Ben. Those tree trunks patterns are really beautiful. Are you going to use them to make somethings with them in the future. Can't wait to see the build you are going to make in that space where you removed the trees from. Blessing to you and your family.
HAPPY 160,000 SUBS! Love all your content!
Those sandwhiches look so good.
That Corbin, he's a go getter. He stays close to dad and is ready to go. ( impression I get ). Great family. Can't wait to meet the newest member soon.
Here in Aussie we like weird too. Love all your cooking segments. Well done.

Your wife makes this videos watchable. Meg is amazing
Seriously wished my junk drawer was as organised as yours. Lol.
Buggy’s hair up is so cute!!
Look at him cooking, the boys love cooking outside.
That was some really good brush pile removal music.
For a while my bro and sis in law had a property with lots of big old trees. He had to get himself a big imposing Husqvarna to take down BIG branches that were too close to the ground, or were just too dangerous to be left on the tree.
He also got himself a big log cutter. And a big riding mower. He was living the lumberjack dream.😊
Wow, I absolutely love the patterns on the tree stumps, hope your going to do some thing with them ❤❤❤❤❤❤

That’s hilarious, a Chik-fil-a commercial came on right after this video 🤗
The stumps would make nice table tops !
I LOVE that you all are comfortable being "weirdos" with us!❤ You totally fit right in with my family!!😁 Love y'all ❤️
Looks like the son would love to do some cooking of his own. 😊
Corbin seems to the most helpful and volunteering of all the kids. Love, love your show.
You know those wood stumps would make great table trivet or wall clocks with those beautiful designs. Not sure how many you could get out of them or use for carving something out of them. Always an enjoyment watching your channel. 😊
10:55 you all have one and you know it!!! 😂😂😂😂
Jason would love to have that wood as is!!! 😃

I can on my back porch using a Camp Chef propane stove. Words great and I am an 85 year old man who lives alone on a 4 acre farm.
Thanks. I needed a Hollar fix. Good People doing God's Work
I am judging! That is the most clean and orderly junk draw I've ever seen. 🤣
HI Hollers and new one!! enjoying everything you post … I loved your inscription on the wall board!! “The only thing to decide is what to do with the time we are given” love it ❤
Love that outdoor fryer! Your kids are so beautiful!
Weird in the most wonderful way. Just love watching your videos....thank you! After that stump dries out, use it as a table outside....it is so pretty. God makes some awesome designs in nature.
Recently found out about your channel thru Becky @ Acre Homestead. I am so hooked on your channel & loving everything. And yes, I am a new subscriber.
Fellow weirdo here 🙋♀️. It's fun for me to see others enjoy crazy tree patterns. Hopefully they will make unique furniture or something.
Brilliant about keeping the mess outside.
Great job all of you. I still get a giggle 😂 out of watching your lads helping you work and they all have bare feet. It is a lot warmer where you folks are, where I live it is 0 C/32 F. Too cold for bare feet unless you are going for a polar bear dip.
i love your weird family so good for the soul hugsssss
Those stumps look like great seats for the garden… or near a firepit. ❤ Great job!
I hit a t-post in a tree once…confused the heck out of me. The most organized junk drawer in the world😂😂😂😂 I can’t open mine for couple days sometimes 😂😂😢
Hey! Buggy was about to say bye and you cut her off! Another great day of work from the Hollar family.
Not weirdos, we are all unique! 💕💕🌻🌻
❤ those sammys looked really good! I know ive stopped eating fast food to a slow roll. Now its just disappointment to get a burger out. I do only ground bison and do my old recipe of chopped onions, Worcestershire sauce, s n pepper, medium rare with a handful of lettuce and thick tomato.mustard❤❤❤❤

I love watching the kids watching out for the younger ones.
Seeing the pattern..... could cut off a piece and make a BEAUTIFUL clock for the wall.
Chicken looks fantastic!
LOVE US SOME HOLLAR FAMILY 🙏
Thank you,
