Love the music bubby. Benjamin Todd has the perfect sorrowful voice. You guys obviously work your tails off. Just discovered your channel. And I'm beyond impressed.

Now where I grew up there was a stream just like that. The villiage I now live in had their water resivour (not spelt right) about 5 miles from my parents home. I was up there all the time. The village only checked on it during the warmer months. Road wasn't plowed in the winter. The creek crossed the road in 2 places. The place nearest the dam they kept the rocks level and drove through the stream. When spring came the water would wash out about 5 feet of the road next to the 4ft culvert. They have since refaced the dam and more people live on that seasonal road. I may take a trip up to the dam next time I visit my dad. I think a 4-wheeler just became ESSENTIAL to homesteading. Great video!!!

I like how you laugh on the problems instead of being angry. Perfect mindset.

I did enjoy watching, thank you very much. I just don’t want the video too end.👍

I wish I could live like you. I have 600 ford and 8n ford. I love my tractor. Love your videos

Wow , I'm sure Noah would be impressed!

Something I made awhile back for my tractor was a 6 foot wide dirt scoop pan that dumps. In time I going to add a hydraulic dump . Good for tooting tools dirt scooping up rocks and dirt from a pile. and fire wood.

That sounds like a Incredibly useful piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing. And also thank you for your interaction we really appreciate that

Glad you guys were up on high ground! Maybe you should consider a new road or at least a roadification in those places that are low and prone to being washed out . It looks as though it is close to the river/creek grade and future flooding should be expected to increase as global warming continues. Those are some great building rocks BTW!

advice is cheap, but I don't have any for you-all 'cause you know there is not much you can do about gravity and water....just keep on keeping on and enjoy your time as best you can..we enjoy and anticipate your Path vids..Thank you.

My Nan is 84 yrs old, lives in Southeastern Ohio and she's been driving through the creek to get to her house since the 1960s. There's a footbridge for crossing in the winter and during floods. There are culverts with a concreted drive overtop of them, but the creek water flows over the concrete most of the year. She's tough. Y'all are tough. Take care. Excellent content by the way. 😊

good luck!!!

Man what a mess but you gize will no doubt prevail! Thanx for sharing another fine video. Really enjoy ALL of them.

Wow you need to have a working bee stat. Bbq and beer will get the road fixed

thank God for fourwheelers that will be the best tool you own my back hurts for you brother i love the little chuckles throughout the story of disaster and such a great tune love and respect for who you are and what you do peace bill

That song... man.!!!(loved it) As always, enjoyed the video...

The four wheeler trailer and family can be very resourceful tools in a great flood in road repair gratefully done

The power of mother nature!! Thanks for sharing!! Stay safe.

Wow, I feel for you. Where I live we have gone straight from flood risk to forest fire risk. Mother nature giving us a not so gentle reminder that she is the boss. Good luck with your work, glad you got your quad before you needed it. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think there is a piece of equipment that takes more abuse than a man's trailer. Keep up the good work! Nice addition to the fleet!

My thought about that poor old trailer as well. What a brute!

Nature's power is jaw dropping. Hope the repairs go well.

Just thinking about how to get the culverts cleaned out. Maybe run a line around the end of culvert multiple times so that it rolls as your sucking on it & maybe the rocks won't plug it off. Probably have to double line as I haven't seen much winching equipment. Anchor up high on one of the nearby tree trunks w a snatch block on live end to the tractor or truck??

In a few places where we had to build crick crossings we poured concrete (during the dry season)and just let the water run over it. Haven’t had any wash out yet. Our high water mostly comes with snow run-off. We live in pretty dry country with the occasional frog choker storm in summer.

Love y'all's channel, enjoy watching the way y'all live which I think is the right way. Keep doing what y'all are doing. I would also like to hear little more of you with singing and playing your guitar. God speed and ☮️

Having responded to New Orleans after Katrina, Vermont and New Hampshire after Irene, the northeast US after Sandy....and lived up and down the Atlantic coast....I can AND do appreciate and respect the force and impact of water. You used the word “catastrophic”...you are right. I don’t know you from Adam....but you are the exact kind of personality I always appreciated working emergency response with....someone who can still find humor, and chuckle just a bit....in the face of true adversity! You da’ man, amigo. Bravo-Zulu on a wonderful video (and great music, too). You just earned another Subscriber!

Yeah here in NC we some unreal floods the past years too.You’ll really get a lot of use out of that four wheeler.Love you guys.

Hello! sorry to se all the flood damage . you guys are very resilient and capable of doing what ever you set your mind to do. great to se that. thank you for sharing. face piles of trials with smiles. Buen Camino

Hey, with four of you it's only 250,000 hours each! No problem! Amazing job you all did. A creek cuts through our 6 acres but the house is on the paved road side. When it rains the creek RAGES, like if you fell in you'd be ground to a pulp. A few hours later you can tiptoe across it again. Huge rocks wash up, wash away again. I've pulled out some for building material. Sometimes interesting wood for carving washes up too! Hope you get the road fixed soon, good luck.

That little four wheeler is earning its keep. Thanks again guys you have a lot work to do 🥺

Where to start. Amazing video. I was waiting for the Honda introduction for several weeks and when this video started I thought “here it comes...the ATV must make its appearance at this time!” What a mess you had in that road but you guys were absolutely killin it with teamwork and got that one part resolved. I hope you recorded the next part. That’s a massive wash-out. I knew that Honda would cross that ditch I’m over here just cheering it on go! Go! Go! You folks are just great people.

I have worked the land for a lot of years with different tractors. But never with a four wheeler so I am not sure what they are capable of. But so far We are really impressed it Has brought so much value doing odd jobs and also surprisingly so it can Handle some pretty heavy jobs. Those trailer loads of rocks Were quite heavy. Anyways we are really happy to finally have a four wheeler on the Homestead. Thanks for giving us the extra push it took to make it happen

How brave is Truly???? This is an incredible video, Cy! See you all tomorrow.

Life on the other side of the ford ---- I know it well. I've seen the water go from 7-10 inches to 7 feet at my ford. The driveway transformed into a waterfall. Amazing what an excavator can do in a half a day though. Good luck.

We only got 1.5 inches but they got 9 inches just a few miles away. We used to live in the Sager Creek watershed and had a half mile of the creek running through our farm. I can't even start to describe the damage from some of the floods. I was fortunate to have a big 4wd tractor and bucket to repair the damage but it took hours and hours.

OH NO! The 8N has some competition! You all will get a lot of great use from the Honda. I have an old Honda Four Trax 300 that is such a huge benefit to our little farmstead. Good luck with the road.

Was just over at roaring river a week ago. The live feed there the other day looked a fright! Glad you all faired well in the spring monsoon! :)

I feel very bad, but you stood up against that disaster and took help of nebours succeded. Great

Water can be a force that is almost impossible to deal with! Good luck!

That's some serious business. Rock on.

Greeting from Puerto Rico you have an Amazing place beautiful loved hope everything go smooth for you an family 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Thanks for the video!

Another obstacle, Another day. A great attitude. Ain't nothing to it but to do it.

Hope no one was hurt in the flood God bless were there is a will there is a way Glad you have a four wheeler it sure helps a lot

I'll never complain about my driveway again...beautiful river though maybe you can just boat down lol

Geez man, I love your energy and the calmness you display. Your property looks really good thanks for sharing . OK the creek crossing. When the water went down did you fix the road? How did it turn out? I was thinking you should put massive logs along the lower side held in by vertical logs driven into the creek bed. After which you backfill with rocks and stones. How did it workout?

I'm glad that the Rubicon served so well.

Wow. Wow. Wow. I never knew.

I worked in an orchard for a number of years and we used four wheelers for everything from moving trailers full of ladders to moving outhouses and irrigation equipment. They're real workhorses! Although, the boss' did almost kill himself trying to take a downhill corner at about 50 mph. So don't try that.

Onward!

video the road work i hope .Nice vid and nice Rubicon one handy ride.

Use sand bags filled with concrete.

Ever pan the creek to check for gold

The flood sucks but love some Benjamin tod

I love crocs and wear them myself but I’ve no idea how you manage to stay on your feet with them in the wet, they’re just lethal!

Wow. Two general reactions. One, the power of moving water is not to be underestimated. Two, I take back what I've said about quads as being only recreational vehicles. I am impressed! Best wishes to all.

Maybe leave the road the new height u will need some sort of fix so it doesnt keep happening, im sure someone will have a great idea in the comments😀
