Until then, we’re off to the next pond build. Thank y’all for watching. Your comments and advice are always appreciated.

    Man its been a while. For what its worth, your content has def brought my wife and 4 daughters much closer as a family. Gathering wild fruits smoking and preserving fish catching crawdads, and making rope and other crafts... Well it was a grand blessing, and so are you. From my family and myself, thank you. You are a man of wisdom, patience, strength, a leader of men and a great father and husband. We love you, we miss you, and we pray for you and your family Bob.

    Just stumbled upon your channel and I am hooked. You know those shows that relaxes you and just grounds you? That's what your videos does for me. I'm fascinated with the simplicity and realness of your content though I'm not the outdoor type. Shame it seems I got on the bandwagon late seeing from the comments you haven't been uploading. Hope you and you're family are doing good and I appreciate you making and leaving these gem videos up!

    Hello Bob! As with all others, I’ve learned a lot from u! Ur land has always been a grocery store, u have a variety of eats, and now ur expanding ur food source, and that is totally awesome! A long time ago, as u well know, people depended on the land and waterways to acquire their food, these days people r dependent on grocery stores for their food, which is not a secure thing to depend on, not to mention how the weather system has been for a while, and seems to be getting worse. U r one very smart young man, though u r working hard now, these ponds will basically take care of themselves + provide u with plenty of food for years to come, as with ur wild edibles, wild animals, Crawdads, snakes and such. It would not surprise me if one day u’ll have a video on how u plan to use natural water sources, pond, river to water ur garden. Enjoyed it! Thank u

We're wanting to buy land eventually but we have been clueless what to do with it when we buy it other than lease it to ranchers for grazing. Hubs has 0 interest in cattle or farming but I think something we can make useful for us like this would be a good balance for us. Glad you're up and about and you and the missus got the equipment fixed so you can keep making progress. Stay well sir and give mr Huck a good ear scratch from the Permian.

    Brother, it's awesome to see you back at it. It might seem a bit silly but following along with you and seeing how you've chosen to face these recent traumas has been a huge encouragement to me. There's no measuring contest here, just the reminder that we will have tomorrow, and if not, we know where we're going. Thank you!
    (Also, Huck in the shade and Beautiful camera-operator each gave me an extra smile. Please tell them that I appreciated their efforts, with slight species bias even if I think dogs are great too.)

    I haven’t seen a video of how this pond turned out, but the steep sides and lack of directing runoff water into and a form of drainage spillway out have me concerned. Would love to see how it turned out.
