    end of year post. This was a longer video which is all thanks to Matt! You can tell he worked on the video because the animation was good lol. I'm working on building a team to be able to make more videos and Matt has been a huge help in that effort. I'm still learning how to build a team at all so there may be some growing pains but it's exciting that it's happening.
    Anyway this video is about an experience I had last summer. My friend invited me to go farm sit and that was a great and rare opportunity just plopped on my lap so I decided I really wanted to go. And so I did! There was a lot of new experiences gained from the trip, and in this video was the most notable ones. Italy is a beautiful place with really tasty food. I am certainly going back some day. Either as a farmer or a tourist who knows.
    I hope you enjoyed this video. More to come.

      @@kooriookami7646 Probably because they come from an age of scarcity that got them used to share and be kind with neighbours, like most elder people from rural places in the world. The yelling is just cultural heritage, us italians are (for the most part) almost always loud and rowdy, from family dinners to street chats. Mix the two up, with a touch of age related bad hearing, and you have yourself aggressively wholesome grandmas and grandpas :)

However your videos are among the only ones that will grab his attention and *keep* it. We watch your videos, he doubles over laughing, and then we talk about what we liked. He's excited for his weekly tutoring sessions with me every week now.

    The primal urge to protect you livestock is real tho. One day I went out to my chicken coop and noticed they were all outside acting distressed. As soon as I opened the door there was a dead one right there, which I wasn't too surprised as we had lost several in the past few weeks. I realized based on the behavior of the others that whatever did it was still inside the coop, so I shut the door, and then shut the little chicken sized door too so it couldn't leave. Thinking it was a raccoon or a coyote or something, I went and grabbed my pellet gun. I've never killed anything bigger than a rat but I was ready to fight this thing to the death whatever it was. I came back and opened the door and a frickin' falcon flew over my head and escaped. I know it's illegal to kill them here, but in the heat of the moment I still took a pot shot as it flew away (I missed lol). Even though I love birds of prey, and I know you're not supposed to kill them, if I had known what it was before it got away I absolutely would have gone in with a mask and a pitchfork and shut the door behind me. Don't mess with my chimkins.

      One time I was trying to shut my chickens in for the night (they get to free range during the summer since I'm outside all day long and they just follow me about anyway) and a skunk came out from their coop. I was 500% _ready_ to fist fight a skunk at that moment. Lucky for me, it seemed to have used up all his stinky mana, and was not ready to tussle. He booked it.
      Two days later my partner shot it when it tried its luck again, but still. I was going to fight a skunk barehanded to keep my birds from harm. That's probably the most stupid thing I've ever done, and I didn't even think twice about it at the time. It was simply time for protec.

    Foxes feel more comfortable around known situations; areas they are familiar with, routines they've seen before.
    Having a strange person immediately run out of the house when they got nearby, approach them (as close as feasible anyway), and flail around like a crazy person, probably did actually help dissuade the fox from coming back, at least for a while. So well done! :)

    When I worked at a retirement home, there was an Italian lady named Anna. Now most people found her to be grumpy and hard to please. But I was patient, and took my time to remember what she liked and how she liked it (I was a food server, and this was during Covid when we had to bring the food to the individual rooms). I also learned a couple Italian words for food and drinks from her (I'd previously began the Italian course on Duolingo because in March of 2020 (this was now March to July of 2021) I had a trip to Italy planned (worst place to be during the pandemic at that time, the whole country got locked down while I was there)). Anyway, so one day, Anna is trying aggressively to get me to understand something. All she wanted was to give me a fig! She was so sweet, really, just misunderstood because she could really only speak Italian, and was clearly just lonely. I hope she's still alive and well.
    Edit: I never ate the fig, I struggle to try new foods sometimes, and from Fig Newton's, I knew I likely wasn't going to like it, plus I know about fig wasps... So yeah. When I did finally psych myself up enough to eat it, it was already beginning to rot. I felt bad, but it was still really sweet of her, like she clearly liked me 😊

      @@ashurean it happens here in Italy too, even if a bit more rarely, so I get what you mean. it's just that we know that a granny shouting is usually doing it in a friendly manner haha

    I remember having the same “farmers’ instinct” when my chickens were being attacked by and eagle (or maybe a hawk). I looked outside because the chickens were making a bunch of noise and I saw an eagle swooping in. I ran out, grabbed something to hit it with, and yelled….. right before I fell down the stairs. Somehow I scared that thing away by doing that

    Y'all notice how the animation has anticipation, ease in, ease out, squash and stretch, and most importantly, VERY SMOOTH??

    You are an amazing farmer, man!
    But, gotta note, the Bowser's Airship music was a little loud during the fox scene. Just thought this should be known. Love your vids!❤
