Bear proof garbage can enclosure, awesome! Florida bears are pretty tenacious and persistent and are often spotted in Tallahassee, Fl along the outskirts of the city limits as just as you stated, they love foraging in garb cans for anything that smells good to them. Great job constructing this project Hollis!
It's all about Nancy's kimchi. Those bears know a good thing when they smell it, and they are probably passing the word around the black bear community as we speak.
I love watching you work in the new set up. So much space and natural light. Incredibly happy for you guys on your new home. Patiently waiting for the farming videos.😊👍
Hollis I watched you build garden stuff in V.B. And you built it stout. Man oh man that garbage shed is built nuclear war proof. I wish I had your carpenter skills.nice work. P.s. nice shop too!
That looks awesome hope it works. I never knew Flordia had any kind of bears. I hope you do a follow up or mention in another video how things worked out with the cans. Good luck and blessings.
May I make a suggestion? Move the cans away from your home. Detours the scavengers from coming close to your home. Love your idea. You are enjoyable to watch.
When you do something you do it right Hollis. Very nice and looks good against the house. In fact that would make a nice little shed to keep my garden stuff in. I told my husband, let's see.....I tend to use Rubbermaid sheds or steel aluminum because of the mold and rain here in Florida. Easy upkeep. But this looks great!
You should change the video title to include "bear Proof" You will probably get more views. Love what your doing. Looking for forward to all the Florida videos.
I love your trash enclosure. I have one similar but not as well built. On mine, the top also lifts on a hinge with a hydraulic lift in the corner for ease of lifting and has a latch and lock to keep out critters. This makes putting trash into the can from on top without having to pull the heavy trash can out each time you have trash.
I had no idea Fla had black bears! My brother lives in Ft Myers and my family spent every summer vacation there when I was growing up AND my grandparents owned an orange grove in Venice and spent every winter there! No one ever mentioned bears🤷♀️🤔 I am aware of the cougars, though😳 Hope this enclosure solves the problem👍🏼 God Bless🙏
Trying to make one for our area so when the wind blows it doesn't go when they are empty. I have other peoples trash blowing into my yard and hate it. Wow didn't know you had bears there. Be safe. God's blessing to you and yours and Nancy waiting for some good recipes please.
Nice garbage storage!! We have one bear he/she comes in from Arkansas usually just before summer ends. Her main targets, bird feeders, and the water hummingbird sugar water. The beat leaves the garbage cans alone. Our real problem, raccoons! Those suckers are about 28 pounds each. They're very destructive, and when confronted act like they own the cans. Right now we bungee cord the cans, and ratchet tie each. The racoons haven't figured out the ratchet ties, when they do were in trouble.
Hi Nancy and Hollis, I hope all is well with you at the new homestead. I’d like to ask you what oil mixture you use to discourage insects? My new wax beans came up nicely but just yesterday I noticed a lot of holes on my leaves. I remember you mentioning a oil and water mixture for bugs. I can’t remember what kind it was or the amount. If you happen to read this I’d appreciate your help please. God’s richest blessings to both of you. 🙌🏻
Thank you so much. I enjoy your channel best of all. It’s wonderful hearing other Christians giving praise and honor to God. Is there a formula for the Neem oil or just straight? Blessings
Here in California I would not call that Bear proof...hopefully the bears in Florida are not like the bears here. They have no problem breaking into locked cars and trucks lol. Nice Vid! strick
Great engineering skills! Even the poor hungry bears will accept that! What we appreciate in you, Sir, is that you prefer to secure your belongings rather than shoot down those wretched creatures, like so many do it out there. That's what makes you stand out from the rest. Waiting for more.
To me the music was annoying so i just muted it. I also would have assembled it on site. Way to heavy for me to move! Let us know if it keeps the critters out. I've seen elaborate steel trash bins that the bears easily tore into!😎
In California we had to use heavy gauge metal to construct bear proof trash enclosures. Not sure how persistent black bears are, but brown and grizzlies have no problem rippin into wood and regular hinges.
Looking good! Side question, what's that golf cart looking vehicle you're driving around on. If I search for golf cart, nothing has a bed like yours. I'd like something like that on our farm but don't know what to search for. Thanks!
You guys must be up near the ocala national forest there are plenty of bears in that area I'm about an hour and a half south of there Anyway I like the enclosure they are going to have to work to get into the trash now and I like your workshop I'm hoping when I buy a house soon i'll have one myself

Do you guys compost? If you do, do the critters get in it? And if you dont compost, how come? I only ask because I dont remember ever seeing a video on it from you guys. Thanks happy easter!
Well, I hope your enclosure will hold up against those bears. But I was wondering: I remember that in Virginia, the ordinances disallowed you from having a composter, and you were reduced to composting "in-place/in the soil directly". Does Florida have a similar ordinance in the county or community where you are? Are you not allowed to have a composter? If composters ARE allowed, then the bears would certainly tear them up, why not just make an open compost area? and allow the bears to have what they want. I remember my Grandparents would simply take out the "slop-bucket" to the edge of the woods and dump it over the fence onto the slop-pile. If there was any wild animal that could make use of it, so much the better. When it came time to needing rich composted soil for the garden or for my greatgrandma's flower beds, that was certainly the place to go and dig some up.
no bears for us but after moving to a new property years ago we had a herd of 100 or more raccoons that got into the cans and made huge messes. we put one sort of locking mechanism after another on the cans but those little guys are far more clever than they get credit for. the final solution was racks with chains through the lid and can handles with combo locks - and clearing the land...
Can I come be your son for the summer? I love everything you and Nancy are doing together, and the thanks that you give to God.
I love your videos! No coming back for part 2, 3 and 4... Thank you so much for sharing and God bless to you and Nancy.
Wonderful another great post from my favorite couple love that garbage protector and keep safe , and many blessings to you from me to you.
Great trash shed! Enjoyed the video. Let us know how it worked out.
Love the way you draw up your plans. You can tell you have the "Engineer" in you! Well done. God bless!
Good work Hollis!

As usual, you even have sketches to share with everyone. Thank you for all your efforts to produce the best possible videos.
🍀Awesome Hollis 🍀
You put out some awesome videos God bless
Wow can't wait to see how it goes - you are an absolute perfectionist & that is just amazing. Cheers Denise - Australia
Great video. Blessings
That looks awesome hope it works. I never knew Flordia had any kind of bears. I hope you do a follow up or mention in another video how things worked out with the cans. Good luck and blessings.
That is a great idea! I know our problem is skunks and other assorted wildlife in our area. You did an amazing job on it too!
Shame on you Hollis....no more smorgasbord for your bear neighbors....LOLOL
Great job on "the garbage condo". Blessings2Yall
Wolf🐺 👍
Looks lite that will do the job. great looking shop.
You Go Big Daddy.!!! Loves to Sweet Momma!!! Hugs 2 U!!
Wonderful job Hollis

That saw is a BEAST!!
He has my DREAM shop 😩
Absolutely AWESOME!! 💚
That was well built! You sure are handy!
Klaus
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks on growing foods😊. I transplant my bitter gourd earlier with fish fertilizer 😁.God bless us all.
You should change the video title to include "bear Proof" You will probably get more views. Love what your doing. Looking for forward to all the Florida videos.
Love the trash can enclosure!
Great Build, and what a nice shop. I noticed your chop saw height, definitely moving mine to that height.
Great build
That is really nice Hollis, hope it works for you!! God Bless you and Nancy. :-)
Nice build!! Impressive! Pauls wifey Janae

You do some Fine work! Thats a nice shop you have there too.
I wish you were my grandpa ☹️💜 I’d be over all the time helping with projects and learning stuff
Ahh sorry about loss of your grandpa.
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead thank you 🙏🏻
God bless
NIICE GOD BLESS
God has truly blessed you guys, the abilities and knowledge are true gifts. God bless.Ps will you have any corn planting videos?
Hi there
Keep on growing cooking
Compost You have a homestead
Have a good day
You be good
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁🐥🐥
Been in Florida 19 years and never have seen a bear. You must be in North Florida. Great job and I hope it works. Happy gardening to you and yours.
You have creative skills!
I had no idea Fla had black bears! My brother lives in Ft Myers and my family spent every summer vacation there when I was growing up AND my grandparents owned an orange grove in Venice and spent every winter there!

Another fantastic video, have you thought about mentoring a couple? Great possibilities. You and Nancy both have an abundance of knowledge.

Bears! We had not about that! Nice job!

Hollis real nice
You both are so smart. Love your videos!!!!!!! I need more tho lol.
Outstanding
You’re getting yourself a good tan in Florida
Lol😂😂😂😂😂 Jesus never would have thought about bears!!!Be safe

100% Cold Pressed Neem Oil. But if you have lots of little holes you have a slug problem. Use Diatomaceous Earth
Thank you so much. I enjoy your channel best of all. It’s wonderful hearing other Christians giving praise and honor to God.
Is there a formula for the Neem oil or just straight? Blessings
Great video. 🐻🐻🐻

Here in Ontario we would eat the bear😋😇✝️!

Thank you for putting God first and honouring Him always. Jesus Christ deserves it and you are an inspiration.

I really like that open concept work area. Looks like it's hurricane proof also.
Really enjoyed this video, hope everything works to keep those bears out.
Very nice enclosure. I like the background music. Smooth
To me the music was annoying so i just muted it. I also would have assembled it on site. Way to heavy for me to move! Let us know if it keeps the critters out. I've seen elaborate steel trash bins that the bears easily tore into!😎
I thought maybe this might he boring. Not at all!! Learned a lot. Your work station is amazing.
👋😊
Yo this is awesome do u have the blue prints so we can build one. I don’t need the platform, just the garbage enclosure
Nice dog.
Place the Kimchi in a safe place for the bears to be and video tape them..cute to watch the cubs grow up healthy....LOL

It’s a Club Cab work cart
@@HollisNancysHomestead ah! thank you sir
Might consider a white topper to reflect sun.
1 for your recyclables, 1 for non recyclables, and compost pile for everything else.
Brars,! I sure didn't know Florida had beard.
You guys must be up near the ocala national forest there are plenty of bears in that area I'm about an hour and a half south of there
Anyway I like the enclosure they are going to have to work to get into the trash now and I like your workshop I'm hoping when I buy a house soon i'll have one myself
Nice looking structure. Hopefully the bears won't figure out how to open it as they're pretty smart and like you said determined.

Do you guys compost? If you do, do the critters get in it? And if you dont compost, how come? I only ask because I dont remember ever seeing a video on it from you guys. Thanks happy easter!
May scented garbage bags would help.
Oh yes sir. Welcome to Florida, LOL. The bear/garbage problem is REAL.
I know, right?!!!
Welcome to Florida, check in on a nuisance permit from FWC, because if they capture the bear he will or she will return to the site.
Just sitting here minding my own business and now I have to build a saw bench.
Well, I hope your enclosure will hold up against those bears. But I was wondering: I remember that in Virginia, the ordinances disallowed you from having a composter, and you were reduced to composting "in-place/in the soil directly".

Try electric fence to keep them out,it is cheap and fast built!
no bears for us but after moving to a new property years ago we had a herd of 100 or more raccoons that got into the cans and made huge messes. we put one sort of locking mechanism after another on the cans but those little guys are far more clever than they get credit for. the final solution was racks with chains through the lid and can handles with combo locks - and clearing the land...
👌👌👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊
Trick i learned was keep you a big sealed bag of food scraps in freezer then throw in trash the day you haul it off.
The area under your garbage platform is an awesome place for snakes to hide. Be careful.
Good work but still watch out !
Do you guys have a mushroom video?
Portobello mushrooms?
Love you guys by the way.
Rose
Not yet! Great ideal will check into it.
Compost?
Enjoyed the build. Some of my friends up north tell me bear meat is good eating . . . just sayin’. 😮
Put some lime on your cans
😂🤣😂🤣
I have raccoons, 2. They came because I am feeding feral cats. My solution is to feed the raccoons dog food.
I would love to see video from a game can. Point it at the garbage cans.
I thought you got rid of the beard.😳🙏❤️🙏
It’s in a few of the 2.0 videos but yes, it’s gone. Nancy didn’t really like it
🤠👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🐯👊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤠
Will those bears eat your garden?
Yes, but we are working on a solution
