I use to do this all by hand when I bought my little farm back in 1980. I had some pretty amazing fires that burned for days. How nice it is to sit here with my arthritic old joints and just watch you stay dry in that cab, I can almost smell the wood burn while the pond fills, this is so relaxing!

Thanks for the great videos Chris. After a long day of work I very much enjoy sitting down and watching your videos. I am also a combat veteran, I have PTSD and major depression. I can't tell you how many times your videos have helped me to clear my mind and help me relax. Please keep up the great work. Thank you

Good Saturday morning everyone I hope you all enjoyed your day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'd love to see the big pond you did during Thanksgiving

For the past 5 years I've watched you dig I find it so relaxing before going to bed.

We’ve gotten close to 6 inches of rain here in Western Kentucky where I live over the last week or so. I figured you were getting some of that. Your pond looks great now that it’s full. I’d like to see how much the big pond where you’re working now has come up since the rain.

New pond looks great!

Thanks for the burn video. Your pond looks great, nice to be rewarded with a nice pond after all the planning and hard work. Thanks for the update young man, enjoyed the watching.

Very nice pond, great job building it!

The pond does look great Chris. I was never in doubt. You know what you are doing. 🇬🇧

Well a good burn pile is great for a rainy day . Always something to do . Didn’t take long for that pond to fill up

Wow pretty pond. Major storms to fill everything up and over. Great job Chris.

Nailed it. Pond looks perfect as well as great. Just as you said you had not extended the pipe, I was thinking "I bet he wishes he had extended the pipe". Great minds think alike! lol

Looks like you have the storm that went threw here in western ky. this morning, knocking on your doorstep right now. Man, think we got about 5-6 in. of rain today !! it was coming down in buckets this morning til early afternoon, just about all gone now ,done moved east your way !! Hell Yeah, Chris, that pond really turned out nice !! I really like how you do your bank edges, with the water level, makes the pond look nice and neat... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Weekend, and Evening !! and, On too the Next !!

The rain has provided "proof of concept " A job well done, Chris!!!

Holy moly that pond is full. I remember you working on the dam and there were barely any puddles in it. It does look good, with a really nice reflection of the blue sky after the storm.

Can't wait to see what kinda fish you put in the Pond

Nice pond. It is good to see it full. Enjoy your hard work Chris.

That pond looks awesome now that it’s full. It looks a lot different now. It’s nice to see a pond that you built actually full. Awesome video Chris. Thanks for the update.

Indeed the pond does look awesome, especially on a beautiful day. :) Thank you and have a great dry day.

Definitely love Chris's pile fire episodes. WOW what a difference the pind being finally full makes. It's absolutely beautiful now. Throw in some fishies and it won't be long till it's time to set up a camp rocking chair with a couple of coolers fulla beer and munchies and start casting for dinner. It's definitely a nice swimming hole now.

Yes indeedy, the pond looks great. I know it was dark, but I really appreciate you showing what a full overflow pipe looks like from the top and bottom. I honestly expected more washout on the outlet side, looking good. I knew you had enough watershed for a pond because a) you know your land and the water flow, b) several years ago you did walk about on the South Side of your property after the fence was put in and the flooding, standing water was incredible. Thanks for sharing the fires. You do those so well, they are so much fun. Thanks again, for this Chris. Looking forward to your next video.

Wow! What a difference a little rain makes.

Howdy Chris! It sure is nice to see your pond full. It looks really good. Take care,stay safe and God Bless!!!❤😊

We got some more rain on the way tonight. Pond is looking great.

And it’s clear! Most new ponds are muddy! Looks great Chris

Pond looks very nice all filled up.

I discovered your channel several months ago. I watch a variety of channels and you are at the top of my list that I look forward to. You are a true professional.

thanks for sharing your full pond Chris.. looking good

Yeah you finally got it burnt. Your pond turned out nice. A lot of water. That's all that counts. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔥🔥

From Ponds to roads to stacking the fires Chris you have it down

Now that your into the rain season, any chance of checking into some of the other larger ponds your built? I respect those are all private property though. But you’ve conquered some mighty tall dam builds..

... pond looks greate!!!!👍👍👍

Good video Chris. Stay dry and warn no point in getting sick.

The pond looks great! If you're looking for good video material..may I suggest some on equipment maintenance.

Your little farm pond is in such a pretty setting - nice place to sit and contemplate notjing in particular. Burns went well with the added attempt to get stuck - not that wouldn't have been pretty.

Chris is the backyard bonfire master of youtube!! lol.

the pond looks great

Couple of really hot fires and an overfull pond... certainly not a bad way to deal with a rainy day... and yeah, I expect videos to be slow.. I know You're buddy there (Bealy) did a livestream Tue and it was raining and his overflow was doing the same thing... Welcome to winter...

I'm glad you had good luck with the burning of the brush piles. Some piles can be challenging.

Enjoyed the camp fires bro and great to see the pond full too. Safe travels. Ken.

your farm pond is beautiful, man it looks good, wet season has hit, or mud season

The pond does look great

Happy New year Let’s dig ,have a safe and prosperous year from your foothills friend

Still doing 'devine' work and making nice fire piles. Your pond filled just fine and it was made just like the Pond Master had planned.

Pond looks awesome Chris

I think that would be the better move with your pond outlet. Riprap and scoonch the channel over away from the fence posts. I seem to recall that was what you wanted to happen, was to get a good heavy rain in to see just where the water was going to settle down a channel before doing trim tweeking there Chris.

Sitting here watching those fires, I was sure I could smell them. Then I remembered that I had my own fire going out behind the house. 🙃

Pond looks amazing 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

good pond video

Strange to SEE the Volvo working only For a few minutes!!! Great job Chris!!! Greetings from Puerto Rico!!!

Great video,nice burn,👍👍👍😎😎😎

I like the burn videos the best

AMI bucket is awesome! 👏👍✨

Cool stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

Hi Chris it didn’t take long for your pond to fill up awesome vid

Love the pong update like to see the big pond that you did where you rent it to larg truck

I credit the dragline for how good that pond turned out.

I had no doubts about that pond. I remembered the flooded mess that area was before you did anything back there, especially after a hurricane! Monsoons count too!!😂😂 Now Chris,,, I have a bone to pick with ya!! 😮😮 Are we not worth a huge belly laugh when you “accidentally” shock yourself on the fence?? 😂😂 I personally know how much they hurt, but I survived!! Even in muddy conditions!! 😂😂. My dog wasn’t sure how to deal with my small tantrum after,,,, but when I started laughing at her reaction to my carelessness, she got the zombies IN THE MUD!! It was a long day,,,,,. 😊😊 Are we not worth that??😮😮😂

Good vid Chris - how are those really deep pond dams you did filling up?

So Cool 😎 Thanks, Let's Dig 18 again and again ❤

Wow! I thought it rained a lot her in Washington state

Love these burning videos!

Awesome video thanks Chris

Your pond looks great. How much water is in the giant pond with island you just finished?

RAINDAY! The other say, this Day is6 not to Work! You Happy, You can the to preparate heap Burn! And the Visit by the new Pond! Pond full Water, the Overflow and Spillway workt Perfect. However You have a first Class Work make. Good Video. Thanks. 👌👍

Nice job well done 👍🏻🇺🇲

It's rained for a while day two different times this week. Some friends have had tree damage from the wind. Trees falling on vehicle's. It's been a crazy weather situation.

Awesome!!

Besar gumpalan apinya sangat menakjubkan

Job well done 👍🏻

I love your fires.

Now That's a Fire!

Awesome-55 here with windchill

Yeah your pond looks good!…not muddy like your buddy bealy’s ponds!…must filter the water coming through your woods…wonder if bealy should channel his runoff into a stone stream bed with rip rap bars to filter the mud out…hmmm!

With all the rain you guys have been getting in the Carolina’s recently have you been back to see how much water is in that big pond you did earlier?

Awesome.

Great job Chris,Steve from Nb

Thanks for the video!! I reken we was a feening for one, LOL

Like the band Clutch says, "We Love a Good Fire"

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

Morning 😊

Nice pond too bad you don't have a nice long bench of some sort set up, to sit on and watch it.

Greetengs from Poland

🔥🔥

Good morning Chris❤😂😊

Dont get stuck chris we have seen what you do to struckin the mud trucks They end up folded up

Pudding I love it 😂

Chris you may want to move that drainage it will rot the fence post faster

Draining one piece of land to flood another :-)

That was about the shortest fire video I've seen Chris have lol

Cool 😎 😊😊

Still Friday here 😂

13:30 But, uh, yeah! I want that on a T-shirt.

🤗❤️👍

👍👍👍

Like I said, tiny fires!!😂😂😂 I can just imagine the heat coming off of them.

You should try Man Behind The Scene's method (Dirt Perfect). They soak a hay bale with diesel and stuff it in a hole they make. If that fails, out comes the blower.

Are those fence posts at all in danger of rot from the water coming out of the overflow? I only ask because my treated wooden fence in my yard is rotting in the low laying areas from standing water during rains. BTW I also live in central NC was this during the flooding we just had?

Success
