    New(ish) El Camino, you pet a racoon, and a surprisingly good restoration on a trailer. This episode was peak 'Off the ranch'. The only thing it was missing was "do something today to make yourself better tomorrow then you were yesterday" but youre kind of the living embodiment of that statement so its all good.

    Matt with the amount of acreage you have if allowed you should make some rain catchment tanks through our your property and perhaps some water towers that can catch water as well. It would make things alot easier; God forbid if a fire actually did break out. The trailer can only hold so much but the water towers and catchment tanks would be easy fill stations. Loving the resort episodes. Lotsa love from Northern West Virginia 💕

      @USMCOrdy6541 10 месяцев назад +50

      Adding onto this, rain collection from the falloff of the roofs of all of the buildings would fill your tanks in a single rain. With enough tanks, you could have free water for a year with only a couple of days of rain.

    How about getting the sediment out of the river while it is dry so it is deeper in front of the resort when the water comes back. Maybe put a weir on the down river side like they have in junction on the Llano river. That way you could have Lake Desperado Ranch next time it stops flowing.

      A good friend of mine broke both his arms and most of his ribs when he crossed his arms in front of his chest to brace himself for a broken dyneema mooring line (he barely lived). And dyneema is what winchlines are made of too. Just be careful.

    I like the idea of an abandoned saloon. Tucked away in some obscure place on the property, super rustic, maybe half-dug into the side of a hill, surrounded by trees and not visible too far away. Outfitted with some funky lighting, big screens for sports or whatever, beer on tap, some resort branded wines, a couple good scotches and whiskeys. Not too broad a selection of anything. A hangout for guys that want to get away from it all.

    When I came home a few years back I found that a raccoon had set up a nest under my porch, I noticed my cats outside bowl was empty every night. I set up a camera and found a very large raccoon was stealing his food but also my cat was sharing the food with it. She never approached me but about a month later I notice her with 3 young raccoons. They never seemed to care about me whenever I came out except when the mother was with them. She hissed at me. My wife suggested I try hand feeding one, and with a snickers fun sized in hand I went out. To my surprise one of them came right up and took it and skittered away. Then it became a daily trend with the 3 cubs and their mother who would hiss but still take the snickers. The cubs however became like pets, allowing us to pet them and even on occasion having one or two use the cat door to join us inside. I think they get a bad rap but if you watch them they are a very gently animal. Mischievous but gentle.
