We BUILT a Galapagos Tortoise SPOUT!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
The cement rock pond that is the center of the Galapagos tortoise enclosure was the very first feature we ever built in the first KZread episode we ever made here at Kamp Kenan! But it has one flaw, it runs dry often and has no accessible supply line. Today that all changes as we attempt to build a water spout that will keep this watering hole filled with H20.

It's amazing how curious the tortoises are in everything you do in their enclosure❤
Great surprise for my Saturday. I know, Matt, I love devices where somebody actually designed it to be simple and effective ! And isn't it nice to know you inspire Kenan to tackle big jobs with your presence . . . and your shovel work ! Loved every Corny, joke... and Nos as the line inspector....then at the end, was inspired to go back out to My current outdoor project with a grin on my face! Thanks🥰

The Kamp is looking flipping phenomenal my friend!
Not only can you keep animals outside, you don't have to bury your water lines 4ft to make sure the frost won't reck them ah the joys of Canada. I always enjoy your videos over the last few years and watching the kamp grow and all the upgrades and new additions inspires me even if i can't replicate them in my climate.
Love that Nos was right there. It never fails when I am working on something Scarlet has to be right there. Tortoises are so inquisitive!
This is one of my favorite videos. 🤣😂 I’ve said this before, tortoises are just cats with shells! In every inch of your business, refuses to move, goes deaf at the very first command and is always cute while being a giant pain in the butt!!! 😂😂😂 Nos is the best! Thanks Kenan and Matt for a great video.
Looks good! The bamboo is a nice touch. The tortoises are so curious lol
Love watching Nossy's curiosity. Something that occurred to me is that you could have run the tubing through the bamboo.

"Life is easier with Matt around." My husband Matt would also agree to that :)
I think covering it with quick Crete and blend it into the rest of the pond. Thanks for the great videos.

The amount of things you get done is truly inspiring. When I'm wanting to take a break on tasks I say to myself "Kenan would be done by now" 😅 Also, idea to conceal the hose. Expanding foam with small rocks on it as it cures 🤔 can be taken off relatively easily if needed 😊

Good idea but i think you're right.
My favorite. Watching Kenan create.
You could probably cover it with some concrete and match the texture to the rest of the pond. Maybe cover it with some type of cloth so the concrete doesn't set directly against the plastic tubing.
Maybe double up on the bamboo. Next size up encasing the first pieces. They will eventually bite through those zip ties . So 2 layers will keep them from the tube If and when that happens.
Wirg close to a million subscribers, one of them has to have the means and knowhow to bore through that concrete. Reach out and find them. Invite them out and git-er done. 4hat way you eliminate the eyesore and the need to potentially repair/replace the tubing as it gets "nibbled" on.
Very cool project! So much easier than running water lines in Canada, ours have to be buried a minimum of 6 feet to avoid them freezing. I wonder if spray painting the poly tube to match the concrete would make it less noticeable to the tortoises
Hello great video information Kenan
Made my day again! Thank you Matt and Kenan! 🫡💖
you could put of drilled a hole through the cement over cover the tubing with clear gel or put more cement on top of it
Always an Adventure to be had at the Kamp!! Awesome!
Extremely typical tortoise behavior to be super nosy AND instantly want to destroy the bamboo/hose xD
You could always concrete over the pipe and bamboo to blend it in with the water bowl. Just an idea to kinda hide it.looks good either way.
Nozzy, darwin and socrates seem to love matt like we all do, great to see you bud. They are going to love this, specially darwin, she loves her mud wallows ❤
Nostradamus is such a good boy... trying to help. He is so curious... 😂 Patiently waiting until all the straps are done so he can play with it. Perhaps it would be fun to make some toys for them... that they can explore... and eventually destroy... 😊

Interesting idea!
Kennen I don't think that bamboo that bamboo is gonna lasts. You are going to need to use something stronger. You can keep the bamboo there but here's a suggestion. Cover the bamboo with concrete. It won't effect the tubing because the bamboo is covering it. And the Tortoises won't try to eat it. Out of Site, out of mind. Plus you will be able to just pull the tubing out from the concrete because of the bamboo covering over it. And you can make the concrete look like it's always been part of the pond.

I had the same thought as well. Concrete is the way to go. Plus, if you added some rocks as well you could then make it look like a spring bubbling out of the ground instead of a pipe emptying into the pond.
Good idea. I might’ve suggested threading the polyvinyl water tube through a larger pipe (either heavy-gauge PVC or metal) just under the section that crosses the driveway. Then the vehicles can’t compress it over time with their weight. You can also plant a hardy (non-toxic) vine and train it to grow up that bamboo to obscure it. You may need to protect it until it gets established. Trailing Rugosa (beach roses) have edible rose hips the tortoises would enjoy eating for extra vitamin “C.”
FINALLY!!! I've been so irritated about that water hole or lack of water hole since I first started watching years ago...good job guys!! 👏👏👏🐢🐢🐢🐊🐊🐍🐍
That looks great!!Living up here in the Great North, watching you put water lines above ground or 6 inches underground is mind boggling!! If the lines aren’t below the frost line, at least 4+ feet here, everything freezes and explodes. Count your blessings how easy that project was!!!!
I have been watching the threads waiting for this video!!! I want to live just like you man

I love got that tortoise really got involved with the process and came to investigate your workmanship!
Build it higher up. Hid it with the plants/trees.
I was just commenting on the other video... I would live a larger video about the big tortoises... and here they are... the big ones... ❤❤❤
Seeing Nostradamus chewing on the bamboo was a surprise. So now we know that whatever you construct, it must be protected from tortoises. The ignorant, such as myself, would have thought that if it wasn't food they would ignore it. KampKenan is indeed an Educational Channel.
Here's a thought, terminate the pipe just outside the enclosure. Point the end up and put some kind of nozzle on it. The water jets up and over in an arc and splashes down in the pond. Sort of like a fountain. No extra plumbing past the wall.
Dang Matt! Now you know bamboo is no joke, it’ll get ya! 😬 End result looks great though!
Simpel and amazing
Glad everything works out
That was creepy as hell. Thanks for taking us along with you!
looks good Kenan! maybe creating a 2 vertical bamboo for support 1 from outside and 1 from the inside of the fence (maybe) and have a horizontal bamboo hanging from the 2 vertical bamboos with an inserted hose. In that way the tortoise can't reach the hose. :)
Great work guys ❤❤❤❤
use chicken wire and cement to cover the hose
Maybe a bamboo arch over the tortoise’s path. Run the tubing inside the bamboo.
Loved it! I have that tubing running all over my prpperty haha!
Probably in the future you'll need to build a structure from the outside overlapping the pond like showering the pond because they just might end up destroying it because of there size and curiosity but above all it's a great idea far as less labor💪👍 love your vids keep up the great work
I think it would be neat to build a tiki hut over the water pond, it would help keep out the pine needles and cut down on algae also.
37 mins later 2 trips to the hardware store and we're back n action
🐢 🐢 are so intelligent and inquisitive. Use some wire mesh around the tube, then the bamboo. Plus use that cut off piece of pipe (no waste) as the hose that you attach when you need to wash, water/mud the area. If possible keep the hose extension near the enclosure..
Have a thought about the bamboo and the hose ! Cut the bamboo so it would fit over the hose and glue the bamboo to the hose
@Kenan, can you connect that tubing to some pvc? Then you can lock the pvc to the rock and cover it with cement. That way, you don't have to worry about the torts eating the tubing.
I love how Nostradamus is just all up in what you are doing!!😂
Nostradamus being the site safety inspector 🤣😂 assessing your hard work 🐢They are so inquisitive and have to come and ‘help’ when you are tweaking their enclosures, my lil Hermann’s does exactly what Nostradamus did 🤣 bite tests everything I do 🐢🤗🐢
You made that look so easy😊
Another amazing job!!
Great episode guys ❤❤❤ love it
You should try running the pipe through a long piece of bamboo so it looks like the water is running out of the bamboo
everything are perfect. love it!!!

Hi Kenan Excellent idea,you are so creative. Saves on clean up. Nostradamus is was your supervisor, and checking out your work. Have to give it a taste test😅. Matt is such a big help, and does excellent videos. Love your channel, and all of your reptiles. Cindy from St.Petersburg
😅The tortises are sooo much help!😂 I would recommend enclosing the tubing on the front side of the water feature, not just on the top, because their lower jaw can make contact with the tubing from underneath.🤦♀️
Spray paint the hose Gray
Hey Kenan. What if you feed the poly tubing through a larger pipe, then cement that larger pipe to their pond? If something happens to the tubing, you can replace it easily! The tortoises won’t want to chew on the cement.
Good job 😊
U should hollow out a piece of bamboo and run the poly tubing through the bamboo
That bamboo covering the pipe reminds me of a Shishi Odoshi fountain. You could make one with all that bamboo you have. In Japan, it's traditionally supposed to keep nuisance animals away like herons and racoons from ponds, gardens and crops.
Mix up some mortar or Quikrete and put over the pipe then you could sculpt it to match the rock pool
I love your idea of the bamboo to cover the tubing. I thinking of using the putting the tube inside the bamboo and screw the bamboo to pond like you did with the tube then the tortoises will then be unable to bite it because they cannot get a grip on it
I really enjoyed your video.
😮 looking amazing 😁👍. Though do yourself a favour and remember the eye protection the next time you're using the drill as accidents do happen 🙈
Waterall expanding foam can be cut to shape and used to make a micro waterfall with the inside come on black to so can blend it in
Happy Sunday Mr. Kenan!..Loved the video!! You and Matty are priceless!!!! 🥰🥰
I LOVE YOUR FERNS
The tortoise is like oh hay what's this what's that hey can ya show me how this works hey can I get a bite is it good food come on man u see me here waiting lmao
Try putting a piece of bamboo on either side of the one you put down , so they can’t get ahold of the middle one
Multi purpose love it She doesn't like that bamboo there lol
1:03 "any food today daddy?. . . no?"
I think the big test will be giant tortoises stepping on and walking over the bamboo 🐢! I wonder if there is a way to run the hose up that big tree outside the enclosure and make the water rain over the whole water hole 🌧
My father told me "don't live to work, work to live Don't kill yourself, life will do it for you!"
Hammer time 😂
Could get some concrete or whatever and cover it a s make it look like the the original pond. Or just place a hollowed log cut in half over it as well.
You need to get you some cocoa trees. they are very nice looking tropical tree with many color pods of coca.
Loved the video keep up the great work 👍 why not expanding foam the tube to structure then paint to match
Great job BIG DOGGIE 💯👣
Looks good but maybe build some kind of box ot something to protect the elbow on the water pond. I have a feeling he's gonna keep testing it till it's busted. Or even like one of the box's you put around electric, for the outside it has a pop out in the back and bottom perfect for your water line and since it's a tough metal it can be screwed right into there water rock. May have better luck and to hide it do like maybe a bamboo fence like around it leading up to the main spout. Just a 💡 idea..
@0:02 -- Closest thing to a Tortoise Smile I've seen from one of Kenan's house guests! They're both Aldabras in this still, aren't they? The younger/smaller one is the male, correct? Now, they WON'T be waiting until Kenan is dozing off in La-La Land to take the truck out for a ride! The Galaps are the ones you have to look out for!
I would have used a fresh green piece of bamboo cut in across and strapped that on top of the tube it would dry and harden in the shape of the rock afterwards
