Just a heads up about the poison ivy. If Lily or Gabby were running around in that poison ivy while out there at the creek property, it is possible that y'all holding them, petting them or loving on them could have picked it up from their hair.
Randy is so meticulous! He has an awesome dedication to his gift God gave him. You just can't find carpenters like Randy nowadays.
See yall soon!! Yea it's wet here as well
Stay vigilant
Be careful burning anything....trees, fence rows, piles of sticks, etc. We lived near a field and the farmer came over to burn the fence row and I got poison ivy from head to foot. Lost 2 weeks of school and had to get shots to dry it up. They said I would never get it that bad again and I haven't but what I had to go through was hell. I had it in my eyes, ears, nose, between my toes....everywhere. All from a burning of a fence row. Be careful.
I love the way Dutch always says, Don't Fall!" lol...as if they would fall on purpose. 😅
You are finding some unique things out there. You will probably be discovering new stuff for years to come!
God bless....and Don't Fall! lol
Dutch, you might not know that poison ivy and poison oak are still active when they are sticks. The oils in the sticks can rub on clothing or pets or you grab it thinking it's just a stick and it's not. Hubby went to the doctor with a bad case of poison oak and the doctor told him to wash thoroughly with Fels Naptha soap bar. You can get it in certain grocery stores in the laundry isle. Wash within 3 hrs. so it can break the bond of oil on your skin and you won't get it, just wash good.
So true Kathy!

How funny my name growing up was Kathy Jo! I remember using Fels Naptha soap for laundry and poison oak prevention! In the 1950s! Be careful if you burn the sticks, stay out of the smoke, or you can get it in your eyes etc.
you have got that right, as a person who loved to go metal detecting I found my self really messed up one winter digging without gloves, I did not realize there was so much poison ivy in the area I was digging and got super exposure to the roots, had to get cortisone shots it was so bad. Another soap that works well is Dawn dish detergent, it really strips the oils away.
I would say wash and change clothes as soon as you know you've been exposed. Helps with accidentally touching other parts of your body, like eyes, face, neck with already exposed areas, like your hands.
Being around a fire that has wood. That poison ivy or oak around it can get not only in your eyes but your pores. If you're allergic to it. My oldest son was around when we had a fire burning stuff when he was younger. And he's really allergic within a little bit. He had it all over his body. His face was swollen look like he had a bad case of chicken pox or something. We had to rush him to the ER.
To look out the window and see a peacock on the porch is awesome.
Prime time for fiddle head ferns also. They are wonderful and tastes like asparagus or green beans. Like morels they are a prized addition to gourmet cooking. I sure wish you have put up flood gages near the creek it would be interesting to chart the water level over the seasons. Another suggestion……free trailer base……repurpose the 5th shell base to haul logs for your saw mill. We cut our own wood and the three trailer bases we have are in use continually. I know I put a lot on your channel but we started our homestead 52 years ago and have experienced a great deal in our journey that could be helpful to you and your family or others. I feel as though we are distant Grandparents to the girls….we watch you everyday…….wishing we were young again to relive our journey.
My cousin in Tennessee just posted about morels coming up there. I don't think I've ever used them.
Last year you and Kevin did a ham curing.Did I miss the outcome of that or have you not broadcasted how it turned out?
All that camera movement on the property was messing with my vertigo! 😂😂 Yes! You can be down wind of poison ivy and get it! Happened to a friend of mine. Love y'all up here in Kansas. ❤❤
Thanks for the update on your house-
Always Great to see your progress!!!
😇
We bought land on the Myakka River. At the head waters. It was just a creek most of the year. But about a month after we bought it; we had 20” in 24 hours. That creek went a mile wide! We canoed down to it and I put a nail in a tree. We built a cabin on posts 12” higher than that nail. It still floods about once a year for a few weeks. That cabin has never had water in it.

Why don't you add another expert or two in the canning process, so that people can learn that stuff....Doug and Stacey aren't the only ones that know that stuff....Keep adding experts until all the folks that want to learn have the opportunity....This is a very special time in the World, to have to know how to can and preserve your food.
Depending how sensitive one is to poison oak or ivy just being close or down stream ca cause break out with bilsters and all
Did you know that if your dogs rub against poison ivy, and you pet them you can get it real bad?
I can help you with Poison Ivy. I used to get it from the long eared nubian goats and hound dogs they would get it on my inside lower arms. First thing is to wash with dish soap as soon as you think you've been in it as soon as possible. If you get the oil off, you'll lesson the reaction. Then use cortisone mixed with aloevera gel. I had Dexamethasone[injectable] for my horses, so I got a mg and mixed my own. You need to use it several times a day for at least 3-4 days. It is very important to use it to stop the reaction before it blisters. You can dry it up then. Also when the itch gets terrible, and it will!!! use ICE to scratch with. The ice will break the itch cycle and stop it pretty quick. Hope this helps you, I know it always stopped mine. Also, you are always going to be more sensitive in the same area you had a breakout before, while other parts of your body might not be nearly as sensitive to the oils. So be careful when spring start it growing again. You dogs will spread it to you so wipe them down after they've been in it,
Always shower with Dawn dish soap after being close to poison oak it gets rid of the oils from the poison oak .. just a FYI the oils get in the creek waters too
The combination of butcher block and white is awesome looking! I can't wait to see the outcome. You should be able to see from the cut banks of the creek/river/crik where the highest water flow has been, and washout from the flow of rising water. The water at the RV and the bus could be funneled away by grading the area to pitch somewhere else. Love ya'll ❤️
At least with all the rain you will know what kind of flooding issues you are dealing with and how to work with the lands natural drainage on flood mitigation. Also if you are thinking of putting in a retention pond anywhere on the property, the heavy rain will help you to figure out the best place for it. 💖💖💖
Yep peacocks and also guinni hens are awesome guard animals
The bench is gonna be gorgeous! At least in my mind, the way you're describing it. Can't wait to see it all done! Bobby is a great gaurd peacock! I know they can get pretty loud, though.
WOW! Those wild onions and then morel mushrooms sound yummy, I think. I've never had a morel, so I don't know if that would be good together.🤷🏻♀️ I love mushrooms so I'll probably like them. I've watched, I think, Arms Family picking morels on their property. They have a little stash the pick every year. Y'all have a HUGE property with probably TONS on it, along with LOT'S of wild onions!!!
That was crazy about the camper! It'll be interesting to see what a big flood will do!😳
Way cool, y'all got TONS of gravel, free just down the road for your road and up topside to help with all the mud! 👍😊👍
Great video! God bless! 😊❤️
things look soo much better out at the abandoned creek property! Good work!🎉
I watch "C'mon Homesteading" out of Arkansas and if you want to see flooding, check it out. He's homesteading up on a mountain and has to cross a stream to get to his property. That stream went from a little thing to a roaring river. They were stuck on the mountain for several days. His nephew tried to cross it and almost drowned. His truck was totaled. So I wouldn't doubt that your stream could swell up just like that too. One really needs to be careful.
Watch them too ☺️
I think the other name for daffodils that Brandi was thinking of is “jonquils”.
Hi Dutch and Brandi. Great video. Hard to tell what yall will find on the property. Lots of work but will be nice when it's done. God bless and love yall 💖💖
Burn the junk trailer and get the metal hauled to the metal recycling after you pull anything you want.
I love your new property! 🥰🥰
Dutch is so funny 🥺 Brandy you have a brand new house, why would you want to live in trash ? God bless your little Merry band 🙏💕🥰
The “spongy” soil you feel under your feet are plants that are absorbing all that rain. Once you remove it with your Bobcat, you will have a muddy, flooded mess. Try to clear only as really necessary.
Wow, I tell you that starting to come together a little that Dutch get rid of that bus and get one of those Premade cabins or one of those little sheds like a Eddie’s farm gut and you can make a cabin out of it and stay there overnight❤❤
You can get poison Ivy or poison oak if your dogs get into it you can get it from them. Lily and Gabby running around.
Nice to see more on your home .
Love the videos of the project looks great God bless be safe love ya'll ❤️
Extend the roof slightly and put Bobby a roost up there. Just enough so he doesn't crap on the porch, or add a piece of tin under his new roost to divert the droppings. He'll love it
Wild onions, leeks
That piece of butcherblock you cut off will make a great cutting board if you seal it. I kept my sink cutout and use it for kneading dough and chopping vegetables.
I enjoy watching Randy working with his carpentry skills making those exact cuts and fits. Love that creek running through your property and the other features like the spring and cave system, neat
Th creek has moved from bluff to bluff over the years, all that gravel was the creek once upon a time.
Yes it was an awesome video thanks for sharing with us
Bobby 🦚 was definitely trying to protect you all😄! Your bench is going to look really good 😊! That’s a lot of rain 🌧 😮! Stay safe out there 🤗💕!
Man, I would love having a creek on my property but that one turns into a river sometimes 😂 One thing I can say, if you have a creek with crawdads, find a calm flat area and start laying flat rocks around in the calm flats and you'll have crawdads finding a place under all those flat rocks, you'll love it. You can make it crawdad farm in the wild 😁
My wife is highly alergic to poison ivy and poison oak while I am not. Back when I would hunt every year I would not always notice if I had set up my blind in contact with either one. It would make contact with my camo's while I was in the wood. I would come back home and toss my clothing in the washer. My wife would break out shortly after. So if you are going to be in contact or suspect you will then wash your clothing seperate from the household laundry.
❤️❤️❤️ Hey there. If you ever make it down to South Florida, you could find Bobby an entire flock of girls to bring back to him.
Peacocks are an invasive species here. (like far too many animals in SF) Some neighborhoods love them, but most just tolerate them.
Love all the work going on at both places. ❤️❤️❤️
The Fels Naptha soap is great to use - wash thoroughly with it.
The house looks great - love the property.
Dutch, that is cool with your peacock guarding your place! We used to have a young bull named Bennie and he would bellor whenever a salesman would come in the barn. It was hilarious to see the reaction he got!
Would be great to see you Guys using ear and eye protection when using the power tools.
Tannerite for the win. Trailer go bye bye. And we get an awesome video..lol
It looks so nice down there I love it you guys will have a blast
FELS NAPTHA SOAP, 99 CENTS STORE EQUAL TO THS DOLLAR TREE, FAMILY DOLLARETC.
Have you thought about once you get your house to the point that you no longer need that mobile home maybe move it to the creek property
why not put a drainage pipe underground to help drain the water off and have it drain to a specific area
❤ bobby
Careful, I saw on another channel there is a plant that looks like wild onion but it is poisonous.
The land on the other side of the creek would make a great campground area. Could become an income project down the road.
Your house is coming along nice, it’s nice having Randy he is doing such a nice job and sure knows his stuff. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
change tongue on destored camper frame make a chicken coop out of it
I look forward to the day you pick a new name for the "abandoned homestead". 😊
In the Pacific Northwest we have found true morels as early as March 10, but usually the 1st week of April (spring break) is when we start finding them. To me hunting for morels is like an Easter egg hunt. It's such a rush when you come up on a huge group of them. I can hardly wait for the season to begin!
I am trying to get hold of you about electric that will take care of you entire house, it is not Soler,or generator, it will be worth your time.
Just wondering if Randy could come to our house for a. Couple weeks? 😀 Little California vacation…
Popular man!!! Free room and board too??lol
On the Okie Homesteading page the guy over the grill reminds me of Cowboy Kent Rollins. He would be great as a guest at the expo. I love his UA-cam channel, and watching him cook. I'm highly allergic to poison ivy also. Seemed like my mom and dad could roll in it and never break out. It almost never failed when we would go mushroom hunting, berry picking or gathering Hickory nuts and other wild edibles I would end up with a case of poison ivy. You guys might luck out and have wild berries on the property too.
Randy is a good man to work with!
I enjoyed your update! I love the creek area.
Wash your dogs off with dawn dish soap...get in the shower and get a washcloth and scrub yourself down with dish soap twice a day in cold water. Do not use hot water... barely warm if you can stand it. I've had that all over my arms and legs before twice. once during a brush burn, and once just pulling weeds. First time I had the blistery itch for two months, left scars.
Morels are usually found around dying or dead trees
Follow the gravel, that’s where it floods
The house looks great, the property looks very wet. Hope you can get over the poison ivy.👍🙏❤️☀️
Brandi you have been married to Dutch long enough to know better than to smell something he is holding😂
If you’ll take some fishing line and a big eyed needle you can repair that trap easy 😊
How about mature kids over 70 get in free?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷♀️🙋♀️
😂🤣
Jonquils are like daffodils.
Poison ivy is no joke! After y'all have been out there poking around, as soon as you get home throw your clothes in the washer and get in the shower. SCRUB down really well to get the oils off you. That came to me from a doctor. Applying bentonite clay paste should help relieve the symptoms too. It's great to have around for burns and many other things. Texas Deb ❤️😁
YES! This works!!
Yes bentonite clay is the bomb.
Could have gotten it from the dogs if they were down there.
The Power of Water huh!
The Bench yall built is gorgeous,gonna be nice all done up 👍.
It to bad you have to haul the Junk but ,it's better than hauling your Junk that got flooded,🤔.
It's a beautiful Place 🤗💖
JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️☃️
Jonquils, Daffodils, Johnny-Jump-Ups, a few names
Indians tend to b resistant to thi ngs like poison ivy & other natural ailments.
Help with poison ivy: peel a cucumber & rub inside of peeling. It worked for me on my worst outbreak.. I've heard using inside of banana peel.
1 friend made a mash from skins & swore by it, I don't know, but cakes gave me instant relief from itch & the next day, rash almost gone
You should piece together that butcher block to make a nice large butcher block for your cooking channel. My bro-in-law in N Cali fells Chinkapin & made me a cutting board. My mist prized position from him. It's beautiful. Still using it 35 years later. Think about it.
I use to hunt mushrooms every year when I lived in Indiana they don’t have them here in Florida
Everyone is getting so much moisture! We are getting blowing snow here in Minnesota.❤❤👍
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals
Hey ,this is the first video that has made me dizzy when you are down at the creek, oh my goodness slow down with the camera 📷 please 😅😅😅😊😮❤,,but I love your creek that is beautiful 😍 ❤❤
I'm highly allergic to poison ivy, oak and sumac. What is worse is I am more allergic to calamine lotion. To the point of going to the hospital for shots in my butt.
Use small zip ties to stitch the hole up in your net.
The area by the wrecked camper looks like what we call a "slough" (sloo), which is the old creek bed, now it's diverted, but when there's a flood, it will certainly find its' way to the other path(s). I saw an old Map of Many channels of the Mississippi River, and it is amazing.
Suggestion...laminate the offcut from the piece of "butcher block" and use it as a cutting board/block when you use your grill/smoker
Ramps, wild onions, leeks. We call them leeks in upstate New York. Google recipes. Pickled Leeks are very good. Potato Leek Soup is a favorite.
Poison ivy is a close cousin of cashew nuts. I avoid cashews to keep my resistance to poison ivy. I had poison ivy in my mouth, on my lips, in my eyes for a couple of months ... Painful
You have some interesting happenings around you; Bobby the Family Protector, the great build, and the abandoned homestead. I like being taken a long. The abandoned land is very intriguing. I like exploring, as you never no what you will find. You have to remember that one man's trash, is another man's treasure. If you set some of that stuff by the road with a free sign it will probably be gone by morning.
You mentioned you would like to see a big flood to see how high it would get. Be careful what you ask for. Your neighbors up and down stream may not like that. Flooding could be detrimental to their livelihood. Just sayin'.
🍄 Can't wait for Morel season here in Ohio. Won't be long here. Love hunting and eating Morel Mushrooms. 😋 Some southeastern states call them Molly Moochers.
Make sure you know what is safe and what isn't when it comes to hunting and eating fungal mushrooms. Some areas have what is called False Morels, they look just like a true safe morel but if you break the stem open they have what looks like cotton inside. The False Morels are NOT safe to eat. They are poisonous and can cause hallucinations. Some of the locals do eat them.They say they know what part is safe to eat. That's something I'm not willing to take a chance at. I'll stick with what I know is safe and very very tasty! 🍄
Hi there. I am a fairly new subscriber and I just wanted to say that your house 🏠 is really great. I really appreciate your time and effort to make this video. It can't be easy raising 3 girls, and doing videos and building your house. I'm so glad that Randy is so wonderful because not only can he do carpentry, but has helped you over on the other property. He's quite a amazing person. We need more Randy's in the world.😊
God bless y'all so sorry to hear about the poison ivy situation you might want to clean all the shoes garden tools and gloves and watch out from the animals petting their is a special type of wipes you can get to wipe the animals off you can find them online and the farmers supply might have some our they can order it for you God bless y'all keep doing what y'all do will be praying for y'all just saying 😎..
I so wish I could be there for the canning. But I can't. I live in MD. The cost for coming would be to much. I live off SS. I will watch the videos y'all do.
You may stitch the net
Scary thing is morels season is the start of snakes coming out of hybernation....keep that in mind...hard to see some snakes in the leaves and environment that morels thrive in. Make sure the girls keep an eye out.
Have you thought about videoing the classes and speakers for those of us that can't make it? I'm willing to pay some for each of the videos that I'm interested in. It would be a great way to make some money to help make the show even bigger next year.
They have maps that show the flood plains for 50 and 100 year floods.
So sorry about her getting poison ivy ,I don't know why but I'm not allergic 😊,, oh way to go Bobby your new guard Bird Lol that is funny 😅😅❤❤
You can sell some river rock. Lots of scrap metal you could sell. Your bad Sean, brandy will get you back. My niece gets it really bad, the firewood in the house, blowing in the wind. She would get it on the inside.
Poison Ivy, poison oak, don't bother me at all, unless I just roll around in it. Or if I breath it in while weed eating.
Morels are tasty! The rain should make them produce pretty good!
I was just going to say you’d probably find a lot of morels on your property. We fix ours this way. Rinse, split and soak in cold salt water. Then I rinse good and clean them good. You want to get the dirt and bugs off. I cut off any part that doesn’t look good to eat. I scramble up a couple of eggs good. I crush up some Ritz cracker crumbs fine. Melt butter, not margarine, has to be butter in your skillet. Keep it low, you don’t want to burn your butter, but you want it bubbling some. Dip your mushroom in egg batter and roll in the cracker crumbs. Make a plate full and have them ready before you start heating the butter. You can make several plates full or however many you want to eat. Fry in your butter, keep it low to medium, and cook to a golden brown on one side, turn and cook on the other side. I don’t salt because there’s enough salt in the butter and cracker crumbs. I don’t know how long to cook them, I just have my butter so it doesn’t burn and cook till their golden brown. So that’s why I say don’t get your butter so hot that it burns. Then I take them out, drain on a paper towel and enjoy with a Pepsi or your favorite beverage. Our season doesn’t start until May or June, usually when the Lilacs start blooming. We find the grays first, they’re the early ones and seem to pop up over night. Then the yellows are next, bigger and so good. Use a net back when hunting so to spread the spores around and use a knife to cut them or pinch them. Never pull up the roots. Up here in north Iowa, the first ones usually come up along the river banks. Have fun, carry a big stick and look before you pick, especially in the south. Snakes are so good at hiding in the leaves. This guy posted a video of his honey hole. He was going to reach down and pick them and he saw a movement. A poisonous snake was right there. You really had to look good to see it. Have the girls wear good boots and carry a stick with them. Post if you find any.
Morel mushrooms are awesome. They sell very good for a good price in SE Kansas.
My wife and I love what you are doing. Keep up the awesome work and keep up the faith. One day hopefully soon we will all be with Jesus and won't have to worry about this life any longer. Remember: This world is not our home, were just passing through. Love you all and even if we don't meet here on earth, one day we will meet in that beautiful city of God. God bless
If the storm from California moves your way expect more rain.❤❤❤❤❤
