Cody, build all of your new headgates out of steel and cement. You won't regret it. I would also encourage you to make your ditches out of concrete. You loose much less water to absorbing into the ground.
i remember seing wax soaked wood in a video years ago...
they used some patented tech to do it without damaging the wood...
the measurements of the wood didnt change either !
the only thing that changes is the weight and the surface of the wood and it becomes water /mold / rotting proof...
it was a either german or swedish company doing it...i really cant find the video or the link...
you should ask your wife maybe she knows or heard about it ?!
I would like to see a full video series on the water management system you have
Concrete will be undermined by the water use gravel then large stones.
Viktor Shauberger is who you want to check out for fixing that bad erosion.
Happy to report that my son, Jack, was born 3 weeks ago and is healthy and happy. Can't wait to raise him right and enjoy things together.
Many blessings upon you and your family. Praying for healthy mom and little one. Enjoy your journey with him... once you’re past the diaper part! 😉 Troy
You have just begun the most important, hardest, but yet, the most rewarding journey of your life Brother. Trust in God to guide you, and always listen to him with your heart. You will be destined to Raise Him Right!!!
I'm really interested in the irrigation setup. Would love to see more videos of the rebuild and operation.
You got it,
I am too.
God bless you!
Awesome vid man!
I’d love to see some sort of collab with the two of you. Great channels 👍🏻
This is going to be an interesting series
I couldn’t agree more!
Totally
@Wranglerstar Thanks Cody. I'm so glad you decided to share the process of getting to know and refurbishing this incredible hydrological technology.
Wow, just WOW! That was so cool, (literally), at the end with Jack. These are the times that Jack will tell his children about. God bless you and your family Cody.
Another dutchman here who enjoys this complex irrigation system, please feel free to explain everything! : )
I find this fascinating.
@@KRT045 Me too!
I was 10 in 1989 and so excited when my dad bought me my first pair of real irrigating boots and a shovel, so I was probably the last generation to irrigate by setting a canvas dam and irrigating row crops with cuts in a ditch. Here in Wyoming everything was flood irrigated then and still is for the most part but is a lot more modern way of doing it with pivot sprinklers and such.
We have an irrigation Canal the runs above our place that is approximately 60’ wide and 50 miles long that was hand dug with MEN and horses, it amazes me what they did back then, but that was back when men were made of steel and the equipment was made of wood.
I'm late to this series but seriously excited to follow it. Homesteading is our ultimate goal and it's taken a long time for us to realize it. We're saving and almost debt free. So much to learn and do little time left to get it done. I'm so grateful for your channel bringing me back to family and core values. God bless you and your incredible family, Cody.
Your relationship with jack is an inspiration. I feel that if every father put as much effort in the world would be a much better place
My brother had a ranch in Halfway, Oregon and had this type of irrigation systems. He taught me so much about it. It was fun!
Man, it's great watching your family enjoying the new property and the fruits of living an honest life that features hard work and faith. The water is so calming and beautiful, Cody. Jack's turtle-sledding was the high point of my day. Love to all from Colorado mountains.
In my property's area the irrigation canals were all hand dug about 130 years ago and concrete lined. And sluice gates are all cast iron. Some of them still seem like the original ones.
Amazing bit of local history. Keep up the great work.
Love the ending with Jack outlasting his old man!
Love seeing you with jack...reminds me of those years from 10-18 with my Dad ..I played hockey so we drove all over Maine mass NH Vermont Canada together but we lived are outdoors also..just the best memroys I could ever ask for from him!!! I'm sure when jack 40 like I just turned he'll be feeling this the same memory and how they made him into a good man !! God bless your family Cody!!!
Great stuff Wranglerstar, here in Holland we also see a lot of water run systems.
This is the content, which seperates Cody‘s channel from a lot of other‘s. Very crisp and interesting at the same time.
What a blessing this (our) mother nature is. Gives so much joy.
You almost have to rebuild that water system to preserve and honor those that built it. Very fascinating, looking forward to updates.
My gosh....the ingenuity of those folks! Amazing!
I rewatched the intro a few times just to watch the camera autofocus as you drove up to it and get right into talking without pressing a thing. Boy do we take our tech for granted sometimes. so cool
You sir are a blessed man ! Thanks for sharing, I love learning from our ancestors through people who are not letting there culture be lost. Very smart looking into the erosion problem and not just going at it full speed ahead. Thanks for sharing !
The bit at the end with you and your son was super wholesome. I miss those days with my kid.
Lighting,audio, was outstanding in this video! Love the water rights series....please continue to share.
The LDS in my area did the same back in the late nineteenth century. They also dug 3 reservoirs all fed by the Little Colorado River as we don't have many water sources in my area of Arizona these reservoirs are vital to supplying water year around. Irrigation rights are still included when property is purchased just like it is in your case. Pretty amazing what the ancestors achieved with hard work and teamwork!
...alot of folks will dig out large tanks to store water on their property temporarily for use throughout the summer months. Pretty darn genius!!
Wonderful NW histories in the making.
We also love seeing the Sweet Loaf.
We lost our daughter 22 years ago, age 4, and miss her every day.

Cody , a good explanation for people unfamiliar . Amazing skills over 100 years ago . If I were in your shoes , I could not help myself from building a pond near the bottom end where you could have swimming and fish .
Hi Cody, love your channel!
I'm a geologist. Would just like to point out that the river cutting into your bank there is a completely natural process. Look up meandering river progression and meander scars, oxbow lakes, etc. Rivers will cut back and forth and migrate laterally. You can dump rocks in there to slow the process, but in the end the water will win. And plus, you would be interfering with the natural movement of the river. Best to accept it. In tme it will eventually start to deposit sand on your side and start cutting into the other side. It's a pretty cool feature to have on your property too, as birds and critters will nest in the cliffs.
Keep the irrigation vids coming. Living in the southeast I never knew what the deal with water rights was about until my fam moved to southern Utah. It's such a different environment, literally and legally.
That is a very cool irrigation system, using nature, gravity, etc and not pumps. I grew up on family homestead that my great-grandfather started over a hundred years ago. They had the opposite problem, too much water. The middle lower 20 acres would stay flooded too long in the spring to farm. It would naturally drain to the south, but there was a shorter route to the north to another creek so my great-grandfather and other neighbors used horses and skid buckets (not sure what they're called) to dig out the ditch about fifteen feet wide and six feet deep. He used other methods to drain smaller areas, 3" × 12" clay tiles buried just deep enough so the plow wouldn't hit them. He hand dug three wells on the property approximately 20 ft and were used until my grandfather had built a well driller and machine drilled wells down to eighty or ninety feet.
Awesome story, man. I hope that the homestead is still in the family?!
Thanks for being a good man and being so responsable and teaching your son to be one to.
There is a system like that in an area of Bishop, CA. First time I saw something like that. It is really a work of functional art!
Utterly magnificent, the awareness, grasp, intellect and hard working fortitude of those 100 years ago to capture the gravitational feed of life-producing irrigation water. Just Brilliant!
Totally understand your previous comments that some vids don’t pay, but great to see the homestead again. Fascinating irrigation system.
Here in our valley we use cement to build our boxes and metal for our gates. we use a piece of metal culvert as well to mitigate erosion-around the gates
Wow! How cool is that!!?!? You are definitely blessed to have access to free fresh water!!
And Jack has grown since I've seen him last!! He's such a handsome young man.
Would consider testing the water to make sure there aren't too much nitrates/nitrites in the water. Depending on what the neighbors are using it for it might be high or fine.
That's a good call! And most aquarium shops will test it for free.
Love the irrigation stuff. Glad you're dealing with the cut bank. One flood will change it dramatically. My broken up concrete driveway was a good solution in a similar situation.
Your problems with the river ARE VERY INTERESTING and I would like to see what is happening!!!! Thank You an GOD BLESS !!!
Keep us up to date on the water issues.
Love seeing footage of you and Jack, or SweetLoaf, or Mrs. W, or all ofd you. Family is important! Your kids are your legacy, no matter what material poeple say.
That irrigation system is impressive!
Please do more content on it 🙏
So glad to see you back homesteading again.
Thanks for the update on the irrigation system. Super Cool!
While living in Japan I was amazed at their irrigation systems for farming. Similar to what you’re showing.
Looked like an old Spencer loggers tape. Nice to see you with Jack!
We’re working with our local NRCS experts to get a grant to convert 19 acres of scotch broom, blackberry and 3’ high doug fir to Oregon White oak prairie.
The pressure treated 3x4s I used for fence posts 10 years ago have rotted off, When I was a kid, we had a patch of trees called "the locust grove" by the family, this was a resource for the farm. We would cut black locust posts and treat them with creosote, they are still holding up a fence after 50 years.
My acreage is on the Snake River plain in the middle of southern Idaho. The irrigation system of dams and canals was built nearly 100 years ago. My water flows from the top of the Grand Teton Mountains to the bottom of my fields purely by gravity.
I control the movement of the water on my place by using 'concrete headgates'. These headgates use galvanized tin paddles that slide up and down to control the flow of water through a concrete pipe.
Several of the bigger farmers in this area have commented on the fact that I have the least expensive farming practice that they know about.
Good on ya for caring about our streams. Too many folk complain about it around here without understanding the full impact of changing flow.
In Australia, that irrigation system was quite common. Here we used concrete barriers & metal gates (in the later years a circular meter wheel would allow x amount of water to be transferred to your property). These days, it’s mainly done with pumps and electronic devices.
Research is like measuring twice. Some things cannot be undone. Glad you’re thinking of others.
Your son is growing into quite a fine young man (who isn't afraid to slide down a hill)! Keep up the great work.
YES! up coming wood working for a massive project! Gunna be a good little series
Grew up using flood irrigation, we poured concrete gateways and used a combination of wooden gates covered by a removable heavy tarps that helped save the gates and made them last longer
I’ve seen a lot of concrete gates with galvanized metal sheets as the dams they last along time
Finally a good homesteading video. The cheap Amazon “test” reviews just aren’t the same as these videos.
Very interesting concept regarding your irrigation. Love to see more. As far far as the wrap up, you’ve raised a fine young man, Cody. Troy
Super glad you made an update about this. Looking forward to the end results.
Beautiful property. I used to do stream bank stabilization and stream health projects. Your stream bank is lower than it should be. That generally happens when the stream is straightened somewhere and scouring occurs. Streams like to be crooked and have the ability meander and handle floods. Something happened upstream of you to increase flow. Anyway it's beautiful and I hope you get your bank stabilized.
Good to see Jack. I like these little episodes of the the family.
I find this irrigation system so fascinating. Thanks for sharing
Boy that mountain scenery though. What a beautiful view. Love the videos and cheers from Estonia
Just about to finish my Civil Engineering degree, I have to say my water engineering and hydraulics module was by far my favourite! Safe to say I’m interested!
I just love these little scenes at the end..God bless you and you family
Ironically, I watched this video on the side of an irrigation ditch while taking my lunch break. I am a ditch rider for the local irrigation ditch and the particular location I'm sitting at now has over 30 cubic feet per (cfs) second flowing past me. Each ditch rider will deliver about 100 cfs to farmers every day through canals, ditches and pumps run through the district and established by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1940. Our main canal runs at about 1200 cfs servicing farmers using rill, pivot, handline and wheel line irrigation. I'll be very interested in seeing your progress as you go along.
Please keep these videos coming. Love seeing the progress on the land.
Pulled the trigger too soon, great to see you and Jack out together. 😎. God bless.
This is where I belong. I can't wait to get out west. I genuinely love your videos. There is something just so tranquil about everything you do.
I agree with pressure treated wood. What I do now is redwood and use 4x6 redwood instead of 4x4 pressure treated posts. Seems to holding up better.
Roots hold soil together and keep it from being eroded away. Plants that have deep roots that grow quickly may be of use, especially if they're edible in some way. Don't forget to ask your conservationist about plants that might help, assuming you haven't already done so.
I saw a similar irrigation system in Oman. Except they used rocks to make the gates. It's amazing what can be farmed in the desert with a bit in ingenuity.
I'm very interested in the irrigation system! Thank you for posting!
For better or worse I really need to know how this situation gets resolved! I am in carpentry/building and this is very interesting! I've had situations involving wetlands and this could help bring insight on how to work with these types of conditions.
Really awesome irrigation system! Put in some fast growing erosion preventing trees and plants with deep taproots!
Looking forward to the irrigation gate repair and how the bank erosion gets handled. Jack is really growing!
I would suggest to plant willow brushes on the erosion spot. I am fortifying nearby brook banks with it. Not a solitude trees. But the shrubbery. But of course your stream may be so strong, it would take them away.
I have 35 years of experience using pressure treated & non-pressure treated lumber in various situations. Pressure treated definitely lasts significantly longer in all situations, but it isn't indestructible. It will eventually rot when in contact with the soil. Where it really shines is, termites, carpenter ants, etc, won't eat it.
The drawbacks to treated lumber are pretty much the added cost, can't be used is some applications depending on the type of treatment, and it can shrink a lot as it dries. You can buy dried pressure treated limber, so it won't shrink, but it costs a lot more.
That sort of irrigation system is very common in Utah although I think concrete head gates are much more common now. Some would accommodate wooden dams but some were also built with grooves for metal dams.
I live in Ontario Canada and the fish streams are very protected here as well.
That's a pretty cool looking water system. Looks like a miniature dam almost. Kinda like almost how the gates work when they move boats through.
Love seeing the bonding with Jack at the end.
Right on. Very few places have airigation. So very special property for sure. I
I live in an area where people have used similar ditches to irrigate their fields. However, the river bank is really high so they cannot use gates to flood the ditches. Instead they use a really cool water wheel with buckets attached to it. The river drives the water wheel and the buckets transport the to the ditches over a series of wooden channels. If you are interested you can search 'Wasserschöpfrad' on RUclips to see them in action.
Hey Cody try using Alaskan yellow cedar for your board replacement. Great stuff and the most rot resistant soft wood in North America. I sell it in Idaho but there's lots of wholesale lumber yards near you too.
This is such an interesting system. Hydraulics in the west are completely different than that of the Eastern United States. What you call rivers there, we call creeks here. I live in Pittsburgh, and we have the Allegheny, Momongahelia, that form the Ohio river. Plus many tributaries that feed into the Ohio River watershed.
Thanks for sharing this! So cool to learn new things.
Finally another video! Love them always and look so forward to them! God Bless!
Jack is growing up! Has always been an amazing young man.
Really nice to see Jack... hope all is well!
This is my favorite type of video that you do. Real life updates. It is also very cool to see how grown up Jack has become!
Your right about the treated lumber. My dad had dug up a barrier board when he was younger that had been in the ground 20 years and ut was still good. Whe i am tearing apart a 15 year old deck that is rotten. Both was pressure treated.
Love all of your content, but this hits home. 👌 back when my friends and I were kids, we had a spot in the woods behind out house. We decided to dig out an "off chute" towards our camp so we had water at our hang out/bonfire area so we didn't have to spend 3 or 4 four hours huffing 5 gallon buckets of water back to our spot for Friday and Saturday night. Long story short, over a few seasons, we spent so much effort dragging and humping rocks to the corrosion area of our "off chute" it just kinda lost the point, so we ending damming it at the river finally.
and what a gorgeous mountain...
Simple idear but very efficient ....You could probably switch out the wooden hatches with galvanised iron or steel ..We use steel hatches and sliders here when the river floods to keep the house dry
Great video. I love the little bit on the end of you and Jack. We used ditches like that on the property I grew up on. it was cool.
I love this stuff, please feel free to explain it and document all your work. Would be really interesting to see.
In eastern Kentucky the local governments dont care what you do and dont do anything and the state won't bother to inspect anything. It can be annoying at times but the fact that they truly leave you alone is worth doing all the work yourself
Thank you for doing an update on the irrigation system I really enjoy watching it
My grandson just graduated from high school. He and I have started doing more things together lately. It’s satisfying to show him woodworking techniques, tricks of the trade, auto repair and maintenance of vehicles. We had three girls so as a father, the opportunities for manly instruction didn’t go far.
Hey Cody, here in Ireland when we have erosion like that we would plant trees something quick growing with deep roots will hold the bank together just like in Jeremiah 17:7-8
Interesting little fact, there is a town in South Africa called Parys, I am mot sure about today, but it used to have all these water canals on the side of the roads, like what we typically have for water run off, but a bit deeper and it also had these little gates. These would be flooded and people could water their lawns and gardens when it was their turn to get water. I think it is very similar to what you have there, just on a larger and smaller (whole town) scale, the canals (much smaller) ran beside just regular city roads. I am guessing with the state of things in South Africa now, these are just part of the history books (maybe not, history is being re-written...). But was very cool to see the water coming down these canals and made for ours of fun for kids playing in them.
My recommendation would be for you to also check Google Earth imagery. Specifically, the location of the small fur when you are kneeling in the video that's located at the corner of the fence line. Not sure what the dates you have in your area for satelite imagery but in the south we have areas flown late 2019. If you have some imagery on that property from say around 2012/2013 to 2015/2016 you could also see the erosion effect between those dates. Basically how much closer is the river to that tree.
definitely more irrigation videos, keep up the series it is very fascinating
