If he's looking for ideas on how to spend that money quickly before the Tax Man comes knocking.. I hope he buys a small used tractor. Seeing how he does everything alone a tractor will increase his work potential. Plus you can buy all different kinds of attachments that can help him with all his different plans for the base.

@@Nderak The even neater thing is you can actually look it up! If you google ""vascular resistance trough a pipe" you'll find poiseuille's law. If you google the formula for that law you'll find that it's a term devided by pi * a radius to the power of 4! Which means if the radius is small the resistance is "something" devided by pi*something small to the power of 4. Which leaves you with a large portion of that original something, which means a lot of resistance. So the larger the radius, the more you devide the something, and exponentially at that. You just gotta know about the law in the first place I guess.

Cody's perseverance through being one of the most unfairly treated people I have ever seen is incredible.

You might want to consider building small check dams across the washes that run through your property. They will slow down waterflow when it rains and allow more time for it to soak into the soil. That would help the surrounding vegetation recover from the drought and encourage new growth.

Pallet forks 3. Brush hog 4. Grader blade 5. Ballast box

That Honda just straigh up starting after just three turns while being covered in poo, leaves, dirt and probably chewed up in some places is just something else Three cheers to my favourite mad sciencists with Disney Princess powers for being again paid by youtube!

I learned to grow mushrooms a few years ago, and I was really stoked to see Cody did too. The leaves that fall in my yard are a resource, not the ideal substrate, but I shredvac them and my friend Pleurotus Djamor will turn it into food. :D

I second the other comments about check dams to slow runoff. I also heartily endorse the comments recommending the purchase of an excavator, although I strongly suggest that you choose a tracked skid steer with interchangeable attachments, such as a bulldozer blade, vertical auger, backhoe bucket, etc. There's a company called Titan Attachments with an astonishing variety of useful attachments. You could place a fresh water IBC container high up on the hill over your hab complex to provide moderate water pressure, with one or more low-power pumps to fill it back up. To properly store supplies, materials, etc. another large poly tank could be outfitted with shelving, thereby establishing a storage/utility hab. Finally, @theCodyReeder , every one of us admires your persistence, tenacity, can-do mentality, and good-natured cheerfulness.

Sounds like the rover needs a rotary powered steering assistance module installed soon.

Awesome to hear that YT is finally paying you!

If you need to spend that money quick, buy gold, Cody! It's totally something related to your channel anyway. Maybe make some silly excuse like an even bigger gold foil ball or whatever just so it counts as a business expense. You can always easily liquidate the gold anyway for future videos (literally and metaphorically).

"There was gonna be a 100ft long tunnel but I've decided it's not going to be underground." Someone has been watching Colin Furze

Loved this video, especially seeing the native brassica plants thriving. Have you considered building some sort of swales to stop erosion from rain and encourage increased tree growth on your land?
