Hi Jason, congratulations on reaching your goal to the corner post.🎉🎉🎉 Clearing the fence line is a huge goal and you are doing a fantastic job 👍 I'm looking forward to seeing Lorraines pantry challenge meals. I love your channel 🥰🥰

Congrats on getting the fence line all trimmed up. Little Bro sure does follow you like a puppy dog. Meatloaf sounds good. 💞

Happy to hear you give Jessica at Three Rivers Homestead a shout out, She is an amazing woman!

I tell you I look at all the stuff you cut down and can only think man I would be renting a chipper for the weekend and making my own wood chips. Your doing a great job

You need Justin Rhodes kids for an afternoon lol! Those kids have helped their dad clear and pile up all the brush on some of their land. It's been amazing to watch. I love your new property and really enjoy your channel.

😂 Joseph was working out on the property today with that also. He said it’s tough. We have the chainsaw blade. Cuts so smooth. We have a Stihl weed eater. Joseph loves the chainsaw blade with a quick swipe it gets 3”-4” diameter with one swipe. Good luck with the property. Let us know if you need help. Tackle it with all the man power and power tools ❤

Wow im impressed seeing an American using chainsaw chaps and eye and ear protection. I am Australian, i have a sthil fs 131r with clearing saw blade - absolute BEAST. Sharpen like a chainsaw, touch up teeth every tank of fuel as you would with a chainsaw.

Thank you so much for using proper safety gear while using chainsaw. So many people dont take chainsaw safty seriously.

I love how the cow came to watch you cut the brush!

You are Making Excellent Progress and High-value Entertainment for Little Brother! Blessings Abound!

Jason, you’re working so hard and the spring is coming. You’ve given the roots new energy for spring to not carry such a load. What are your plans to get at the roots? Blessings‼️

Yeah now hit it hard. We been at it everyday. But we noticed our 2nd year the brambles are coming back with a vengeance. Keep up the hard work 😊

Love it! Good to share experiences and tools it helps with chores and for others to know what, and how to do, or use for themselves. Thanks Jason!

The cast iron meat loafs are so cute! You are knocking out all that brush work on the fence line for sure!

really enjoy the videos of the clearing of the fence line, as well as seeing the "brother" cheering you on. the pigs are looking really good, and the meat loaf potatoes in the iron skillet looked delicious. have a great day, and week.

Good job Jason. Keep up the good work. If you had someone to move the brush, the clean out would go better. Your hogs are really growing, and supper looks wonderful. Blessings🙂

We sure do enjoy your videos. Positive and entertaining. You family are so cute.

cut those saplings down to the ground then you can run your mower through there to keep it clean of brush .

Something to consider: Whatever you cut (but don’t uproot) will grow back-so from what I’m seeing here, you’re essentially creating more future work for yourself by all this hacking. I do a lot of clearing and removing invasive species on my land, then bring in native variety to build up diversity. For minor clearing, I carry good pruners, hedge shears, and a chainsaw. Whatever I can’t cut with the pruners (fast, no gas, can cut up to 2”), I break out the chainsaw for. Hedge shears are for mincing up tiny brush like multiflora rose so I can get to the base. Anything invasive goes. Anything native and needed (like trillium), or sparse gets transplanted. A shovel is great for uprooting whatever you can-especially prickers. A gorilla cart can haul all you need (including water) and isn’t too heavy to bump over a field. I’m a gal with weak shoulders, and do just fine. But is this case- A small bulldozer or skid steerer can crush a neat uprooted border for you in less than an hour, it will return to the earth the organic material knocked down, and you can plant a quick shorter native grass or ground cover border that can be easily managed throughout the years. After that, twice a year mowing or using a scythe to hand cut is all you’ll need for maintenance. I’d spend my time smarter, not harder, and set yourself up for years to come. It’s worth the bulldozer or tractor rental, or hiring someone to do the job. I have 2/5 of a mile pf an old loggers road on my land, but it was overgrown with young trees and there were deep wheel ruts making the road un-drivable. For $2k a guy with a bulldozer cleared the 19’ wide road of trees and flattened ditches in the clay for me. Other than grasses and other herbaceous plants, it’s not growing back an time soon, which give me time to get stone put down at my pace (one load at a time), and put in drainage trenches and culverts to make it drivable. I got a few hundred feet done last year. Every year I plan to do a few hundred more until I get all the way to the back. You got this! Love the show Best!!!☀️

Your hard work is paying off, the fence line is looking great. You will be done in no time

Love the blade education , Jason. We are clearing out a grown up fence line in our new home as well.

Love your progress along the fence line. Now is the time to rent a tree chipper. The Vermeer BC 1000 will eat branches up to 12" in diameter and produce a great wood chip product

Great progress; thanks for sharing! That meal is my favourite & makes my mouth water! Blessings to your family 🤗💜🇨🇦

That is a ton of hard work, but it's better now with no leaves on the branches. The meatloaf looked amazing!

Only you get the property line cleared, it would be awesome to see a complete video of all the progress and work you have completed.

Mmm mmm mmm! Love me some meatloaf & mashed potatoes!! That rigged up trimmer sure would make short work of what I have going on. Nice to see you cutting usable sized pieces, for fireplace or flower beds. Can even make some arbors or trellises for the garden. Thanks for posting! Have a great evening!

Good job Jason...looking nice.

Really liked this video. Your fence is really looking nice. Nice piece of land. The supper looked great in the little cast iron. Good job family :)

Meatloaf in CI..Love it. I only cook with cast iron myself. Now that I've seen your meatloaf Lorraine I have to put it on this weeks menu. 😍😍

Thanks for showing your experience with the different blades.

Little Brother looked as though he'd like the greenery to forage on!! Lovely video, Jason. Good to see your progress always.

Great job Jason - your strength and energy are impressive! I live in Greensboro and did battle with privet, blackberries, and mulberries for a couple years before learning their growth habits. A couple of tips: With the small trees, I cut them close to the ground, then take a large drill bit (as big as will fit the size of the trunk - a 3/4'" bit would be perfect for that 2-3" privet you demonstrated) and drill as deep as your bit will go straight down into the stump. Fill it with a couple spoons of cheap white table salt and it will likely die by next spring. If the trunks are very large and old you might have to repeat a couple times - even look for the beginning of big roots and drill into that. Now that you've got everything cropped close to the ground you can watch for new sprouts around the tree roots and repeat the salt. The berries have extensive root systems and will only die if you use a chemical on the leaves (I'm anti-chemical but sometimes will do a careful spraying just on the leaves, or you can distribute salt around all those as well, but just be careful not to use too much and have it leach into the grassy area you want to save. Then you'll be able to just mow that area a couple times early spring and summer - easy peasy :)

Great Job, over the years I’ve tried different blades and my favorite is the triangle you showed at the beginning, it’ll cut up to 2” pretty easy. Then your better off faster and less wear using your saw.

Great work! Good cooking. Blessings, julie

Now you either have to mulch it or burn it(the stuff you cut down)

I have been loving watching pantry challenges. Are yall putting any videos of yall pantry challenge meals?

I think it's so interesting how all my homesteaders are having the pantry challenge in January but in January they're having the can-can sale here at the grocery store canned items are very cheap I don't often buy canned items

that personal preference blade is the best. I've tried may different types and i'm back to that "personal preference" blade.

That one brushcutter you had at first you had borrowed, the Shindaiwa, was the best. I've had one over 20 years and love it. Shindaiwa used to have a low-kick chainsaw blade called the Tornado, but now all they have is the chisel type as well. Shindaiwa and Echo are the same company now and if you buy any Echo I believe the CS-4910 or higher, are really all Shindaiwas. That one in particular is the best saw for the money you can buy. All the Echo line, the engines are made in Japan, and final assembly is in Lake Zurich, Illinois, 30 minutes from where I live!! I also use my Shindaiwa trimmer as a pole saw, not the long extension but just the normal length of the shaft! That is also excellent for clearing land and trails which I have done a lot over the years! But that Tornado blade is great for small trees and brush. Just like that one you have, but only 6 chainsaw teeth! More teeth isn't necessarily better, just kicks more. With fewer teeth, you rev it up more and it will chop through something like an inch in diameter without even slowing down!! I'll have to try one like the viewer sent you sometime too, to see how it compares!

Great progress! Numnum, delishlish!

Great job reaching those daily goals and plans.

Love shopping in our pantry!

Great job!❤

You're getting it cleared out ❤️👍🙋‍♂️

The fence line is looking great! Love the overhead shots, really provides perspective!

Good explanation of the pantry challenge!

you are doing it brother!!!

Your REALLY getting that farm into shape FAST...👍

Just started watching you and just love it. Your going to do great, just like Cog Hill!

Great work on the fence line! Those little meatloaves look awesome!

Thank you for sharing. I like this type of content. 👍🌻

Hi, Jason! I certainly enjoy watching you and Lorraine as you build your homestead.

It will be cool to see the results. Great job can’t wait to see the finished results

Little beefy boy is looking to see if there is any green grass over there!! God Bless!!

Love you guys

Great job, great goal. 💕 🕊️

Awesome Jason 😂 love you all Peter Cape town South Africa

Good job

Great job bud

food challenge love the harvest clean out

Jason I tell you as Americans think about egg prices it would have been nice if Sow the Land Farm had been set up with Hundreds of egg 🥚 layers the farm would definitely be in the money now especially knowing how people love home grown pasture raised eggs. Now that you have such a beautiful large property try not letting yourself get overwhelmed because I'm sure that it's all a lot to contend with but I believe from watching you and your family over the years you are going to figure it all out. Just like you said to little brother beef cow you will figure things out. Everyone in the comments might have a lot of suggestions some good and others maybe not so good. But just remember that these are only suggestions and none of us are in you or your family shoes. May God continue to bless you all with good health 🙏 growth 🙏 success 🙏 and prosperity 🙏... You continue to do the dang thing 💪💥✌️

love the do chain saw work out

Congratulations on reaching 200k+ subscribers.

Jason would a tree saw, the type you would use to cut branches up higher work better for clearing tree tops, and the chain saw work for the bottom, and main trunk. Then the weed whacker tool with the saw blade or chain blade work on all the under brush? Just a thought. Ideally, I wish we had a root, and tree grubber, or a hydraulic piece of equipment to do this time consuming work. Were clearing our fence line as well, and our septic lagoon. Ideally we would like to burn but everything is too dry, plus we have a burn ban. Will you be treating your fence line with something after you clear it? Were going to use vinegar under, and around fence. We don't want to use poision because of the wildlife, and our garrdens.

Lil brother is so cute.🐃❤

Congratulations on 202k subs!!!

Pantry Challenge is a great idea!

Beautiful 😍 family ❤❤❤

I enjoy your supper. You earned it. God bless.

Let me know if you want a disc golf course out there :P it's a beautiful property!

To keep it cleared once or twice a year you could come in with your mower and that will cut down any new growth.

Meatloaf is my favorite comfort food❤ the fence line is looking good! Ya the right tool makes the job a lot easier ha? 🤗❤👍

👍🏽 nice!!

Perfect timing for this video; I was just wondering if I should try a sawblade on my Stihl weedeater. Went with a chainsaw blade. We've been clearing brush very similar to yours in Oregon for 3 years now. Keep it up! -Jarvis

I wish you had access to a mulcher...hours. but the exercise is gd. well done

Your chainsaw seems to work really well.

Hey, I really love your channel I have a question. Are you clear cutting, as in getting rid of everything? or are you doing something like leaving the old trees behind and cutting the lower growth for grass so the animals can eat? Normally fire takes care of this, but I would not do fire as it would spread to other areas lol When its not winter, do the trees grow back or are they dead?

Great job on reaching your goal on fence. I wouldn't count on putting sheep in the horse fence, it will be a Neverending chore rounding them back up into the fence. Just trying to save you a lot of headaches.

Jason i hate to be the bare of bad news but speaking from experience you are going to have to do this same job maybe 1 or 2 more times for things to not grow back..unless you get the root system out alot of those brambles and vines can come back with a vengance.. again sorry to break it to you but i just wanna see you feeling rewarded not defeated

Thanks for showing this tool... now I knowvhow to clear out my low dense Blueberry bushes... ankle grabbers!

Mmmmmm I love CAST IRON DINNERS ,,,,,AN I thought I was the only one doing it ,,LOOKS GREAT ,YA Making ME HUNGRY , 😆😆😆😆 I know what I'm doing for Friday night dinner

Personal preference

Hi..... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you love watching your videos homestead Beautiful good job 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐕🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

More or less I'm trying to clean out my pantry also. Love the idea of small meatloaf. How long do you bake them? It's just me n pup

Good afternoon

THIS👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Oh yum to meatloaf! Love it!

A controlled burn along the fence line would help.

Nice review. Glad to hear you plan on getting more animals. Wishing you the best. Glad the feeders have recovered. You're gonna be 120 lbs when you finish clearing that fence line, LoL😄, just kidding. are you gonna electrify that fence? Looks like it's about 4 feet tall. Do you think sheep will not be able to jump over that to get to all the lush foliage that will be there in the spring and summer? I know goats could leap that easily but, not sure about sheep

Hi! First of all I would like to say thanks for making such great video's, I really enjoy watching you build your own farm. I had a question about raising animals for food, do you build personal connections with these animals? (Like, are they your family?) And if so, do you feel a litle bad when slaughter day comes? I was wondering since I'd like to raise meat chickens myself one day and it kinda scares me.

Humor behind the fun

🇦🇺do you have a wood chipper, the chickens could turn it into great compost.

Just wondering what kind of dirt and things did you use in your raised beds? Everything I use nothing grows good.

I liked the kung fu sounds. Made me laugh. And be careful with the chainsaw wheels. They are no joke.

What are you going to do with the fallen brush? Burn it?

❤❤

I love meatloaf. My family loves it stuffed with asparagus and cheese.

👏👏👏

That beefy boy wanted those branches.

It's a shame Ben couldn't pop over to with his wood chipper least he could make a load mulch plus compost down in 2 years....thick just use chain saw then strim all grass clear that up to tree line
