The Barron family (Hannah and Jeff) are without a doubt some of the nicest people on my RUclips channels. I look forward to watching them everytime they post. Honestly if Hannah and Jeff sat on Hannah's porch and just visited and filmed it I would be happy. Our country needs more like them.
Excellent Jeff! Keep up the good work. I see you always strive to ensure nothing goes to waste. That's great. That's what happens when you grow up hard. I want to see the finished result when hogs are in that thing. Preciate you and Hannah!
Jeff I really like the creativity of re-purposing things. I have a neighbor that fenced his yard with the slabs left from sawing used telephone poles. He saws up the used poles into lumber and sells it as treated lumber. Great idea i think. Also a great way to get rid of things like used cross ties and used light poles besides burning them. Have you already jumped to 23,000 subscribers ? If so this looks like a real winner for you. Thanks for your time. And remember to talk to the camera. LOL
Another great idea for those slabs instead of rotting away. Nice hog trap. Used to make chicken coops out of them too with the same sliding door scheme to keep them locked in at night. Also used to make and sell yard and camp chairs or furniture out of them. Easy chairs fit to size was easy. Cut a rectangle horizontally at the thick end centered, and a male-like insert from another slab to make the seat part that just slips in the hole and can be easily taken apart too. The wider the bottom slab foot is less wobble for the old folks to deal with. Nice high back chairs to sit in. There's a ton of things they can be used for. Now ya just gotta get Hannah to find that slab and board stretcher for you. Chuckle. TY you for taking the time and effort to make these videos for us all out here. This old man really enjoys them all.
Love your videos. I had a 91 toyota for 17 years. Fixed the rust real good once. It lasted 5 years after that. Had 241,000 miles..Wouldn't pass inspection with the rust and bottom end of motor was going out. Miss my truck so much.
Best of luck on catchin' them hogs. I found Hannah's site recently and started following her then, when she put your site up I subscribed to it. You know, as a country boy who moved to the City many years ago, I'd forgotten some of the many life experiences I had growing up as a kid, on the farm in the Ozark Mountains. You and Hannah have brought back many of these memories. Now, I'm an old man and physically can't do much of what you're doing today but I want to thank you both for working hard to bring folks a little taste of a life, for me anyway, that I truly miss. I wish I lived in a "little house" back in the woods on your property somewhere. You wouldn't have to worry about making those late night phone calls to set them hog traps. You and Hannah could sleep the night away. I would take the Night Shift for you. Stay Safe, Stay Well.
Yep, memories come rushing in with each video. Oh the good ol' days and old age is not what it's cracked up to be or feel like. Wish I was back out in the country and on the levee too. I really miss my boat on the river... like I could get in one now without having Hannah pitch me into one. LOL Have a great day out there.
Man you have learned a lot of things I just haven’t seen where I’ve been in the country doing construction. Bravo! You are a great dad and raised a great daughter, tough.
Nice job Jeff. There's a lot off people don't know how to ues the waste. You can make so much out the waste. . When you live in middle of nowhere you ues what you got. Great video from Andy in UK 👍🔧🔨🚜
Disregard that message I asked earlier lol You answered the pine sawmill slabs question I had. I've seen people build fences and hunting blinds out of them too
Hey boss man ......wanted to say thanks for the pine ash tip on the gardens .never been told that and been gardinging since I was a child .i would say your in the top 3 of most trusted advise giver on youtube and definitely a champion of a Dad .appriciate yah man .💯💪🇺🇸crazy to watch a fast worker in fast motion .🤠1
Jeff, I'm in the same life situation as James Rose, who commented ahead of me. I'm also an old man and physically can't do much of what you're doing today. I did, but no more. I miss it so much. I love your channel. You are getting more confident in each new video. You are not afraid of work. We can all see you know what you're doing. Is a larger hog capable of breaking your slab boards at their thinnest part part? Keep up with more great videos, Jeff.
Another great video Jeff thank you for showing us how to build the hog trap . your doing a great job with all video we are learning a lot from watching you . we all thank you for everything that you do keep up the good work looking forward to your next video .
I use sawmill slabs - I get for free - for fire wood in my 100 yr old wood fired cook stove . This was my mother's great great grandfather 's stove , as you said mix the ashes in the compost pile , garden gold.
Great video again . Keep em coming. Good job you got somewhere safe to film during lockdown so we all got something good to watch. Big thumbs up from a fan of the channels over here in England. I can't wait until we are allowed to travel to our hunting and fishing permissions again.
good day Jeff, in this video u asked what to do with sawmill slabs?, got an Idea, use those slabs for siding on box blinds!!! Natural camouflage, maybe even hide your scent!!
Dam good looking trap Jeff .... I don’t see why it wouldn’t catch ... maybe put a salt block in it too .. Yeah it’s worth the money and their almost indestructible... You’ve done a good job ,, I like it ....Thanks for sharing
That's very resourceful using slabs very cool video and trap would love to spend a day with you building hog traps and Learning your skills keep the videos coming thank you jeff
You building it to keep them in or Out? Just my experience but when Dad and I build a hog fence the Boards or Panels were on the inside of the post so the boards or panels were pushed against the post and not against the screws. Hogs are strong and would push the screws right out of the post or split the boards on the out side of the post. Also the bark on the inside of the pen would be less scary to the Hawgs. But BUDDY that WORKED. All that matters Jeff. Keep up the Awesome videos. Thanks for all your Info and content
Jeff that pile of pine slabs looks like a gold mine of camping camp fire wood. Guess it'd all depend on if there was a willing campground around y'all and how much it'd cost you in time to cut and bundle to make it worth your time. My minds spinning ideas on how to build a machine that'll automatically cut a stack of slabs into 18" pieces and then bundle them into 10 or 12 piece bundles to roast dogs or make Smores over!!! :-)
If I ever go to build a house I’m going to hire you to do it. Something from nothing. The trap looks like you could already live in it. I’m positive that you’ve already built so many things that just reviewing them would make GREAT videos. I’d love to see all the things that you’ve built.
Would be a lot stronger, but as a carpenter he was thinking like a carpenter and was thinking aesthetic instead of strength. Simple mistake but don't hold it against him, i dont.
I'd bet a cold beer or two that the last thing Jeff was thinking was to make an aesthetically pleasing hog trap. It has to be 100% functional, not look like a Hog Holiday Inn... haha I agree it'd be stronger if the side boards were fastened to the inside at the corners, the only problem is you'd have to double up the corner posts as you wouldn't be able to fasten two sides to the inside of a single corner post. Kinda hard to describe online.
Would some grease on the gate edges help prevent binding and water issues? Or would the hogs sense the odor of the grease and avoid it? The slabs on the outside with only screws holding it make it look weak compared to slabs on the inside. So maybe add some vertical slabs to the outside as well to sandwich the horizontal slabs using longer screws to spread out the pressure. Or maybe run some wire around the joints to reinforce the lower joints that will be hit the hardest. Catching hogs is real fun to watch. Keep it up the fight! And good eating.
We build ours out of oak 1x6 and treated 2x4s. Make em 6ft high and anywhere from 9x9 to 12x12. They will climb out we put boards down both sides of ours.
Jeff, would a couple of lengths of regular hog wire cut in like 10 feet in lengths overlapped and wired together and placed under a bed of those pine needles and nailed back to the outside of the bottom rail suppress the ability of those wild hogs digging out on you?
Been burning my slabs, after turning my wife onto youre channel, it's safe to say she will find a use for them now ....my place is full of hogs, can't wait to see how that pig Skinner works out ..I'm going to be stealing that idea also ..thanks for all the good tips ..

I’d buy one
Hell yea
Holy moly this channel is taking off! You gotta love Jeff he is one of the few. I appreciate yall.
Country Boy craftsmanship at it's finest!!! Preciate y'all !!
Those slabs would be perfect to build permanent ground blinds with.
Boy you ain’t lying.
Really appreciate your channel Jeff. Thanks for taking the extra time and effort to bring us into your life. Take care now.
Excellent Jeff! Keep up the good work. I see you always strive to ensure nothing goes to waste. That's great. That's what happens when you grow up hard.
I want to see the finished result when hogs are in that thing.
Preciate you and Hannah!

You're the best thing going on RUclips right now.
Keep putting your videos out when you can!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The way you talk is very enthusiastic and motivating!
very efficient used of material. upcycling of material. Doing that is a way of life if you cant afford new or was raised not to waste. Love it.

I can see building deer blinds with those! Market those slabs as DYI deer blinds throw in a box of screws and say some assembly required. LOL
Yeah he's built a shooting hut out of those before.
Man you have learned a lot of things I just haven’t seen where I’ve been in the country doing construction. Bravo! You are a great dad and raised a great daughter, tough.
Excellent job on the hog pen, really looks great, Thank you Jeff
Jeffs pumping out so many videos Hannah's gonna have to edit full time haha
Hahaha that's a good 1
Firewood. Man Jeff I get tired just watching you work so much😊
You’re the best bro, can’t learn common sense in college! This mans got more knowledge in his little finger than most people with college degrees 🙏🏼
I wouldn't trade my common sense for a college education any day of the week!!! If you AIN'T got it you can't be taught it.
Once again you make magic. Keeping your daughter busy with editing. Keep them coming boss man. God bless. Take care.
Looking forward to seeing some hawgs in there! Keep us updated! Waving from the southeast Texas Coast!

Is a larger hog capable of breaking your slab boards at their thinnest part part? Keep up with more great videos, Jeff.
Great video. Jeff your ingenuity amazes me.
That right there is some ingenuity. Well done👍🏻💪🏻
Dang it Jeff, I was chair dancing to the fast motion music, then you interrupted my Boogie😂😁
Glad to see you using those awesome Stihl saws. That is all we use. Loved the video, Jeff!
Planning on moving to the great state of Alabama so I appreciate all the tips I can get

I have a stack of slabs just like that. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll go ahead and build a trap.
Great video again . Keep em coming. Good job you got somewhere safe to film during lockdown so we all got something good to watch. Big thumbs up from a fan of the channels over here in England. I can't wait until we are allowed to travel to our hunting and fishing permissions again.
Well that should get a few of them little piglets! Nice work, job well done!
Really cool! Can't wait to see what ya catch! Also the use of the scrap to make potash fertalizer if you don't use it elsewhere is awesome too!
Looks like you've put off burning those slabs for awhile. Thanks for the videos Jeff.
Thanks Jeff for another great video !! PS I’d use that as deer blind 😉! Preciate Y’all!!
Great video Jeff dang that's a good looking hog trap you done a great job. .
good day Jeff, in this video u asked what to do with sawmill slabs?, got an Idea, use those slabs for siding on box blinds!!! Natural camouflage, maybe even hide your scent!!

Dam good looking trap Jeff .... I don’t see why it wouldn’t catch ... maybe put a salt block in it too .. Yeah it’s worth the money and their almost indestructible... You’ve done a good job ,, I like it ....Thanks for sharing
32 K already!!!!! BAMM!!! Go Jeff.
That's a real badass trap Jeff
That's very resourceful using slabs very cool video and trap would love to spend a day with you building hog traps and Learning your skills keep the videos coming thank you jeff
Wish I was your nieghbor! Most my property is fenced with slabs. Keep up they great videos ! Appreciate Y’all

Learning new things with every video Jeff, thanks brother!
Jeff it would be OK to do a have a beer with Jeff on porch video or live stream. We won't tell anyone you took a break.
Great job Jeff followed u from your daughter now I know where she got IT! FROM 😉🤠 APPRECIATE YALL. 😎🤠
Another great video mate . Awesome work mate. G'day from Perth western Australia
Cant wait to see this trap in action
Good idea I really wanted you to find a use for those off cuts . Nice one :)
Wish I had a dad like him.
Great job Jeff
Great job I could live in that hog trap !
If I ever go to build a house I’m going to hire you to do it. Something from nothing. The trap looks like you could already live in it. I’m positive that you’ve already built so many things that just reviewing them would make GREAT videos. I’d love to see all the things that you’ve built.
would there be any advantage to put the side boards on the inside of the frame instead of on the outside?
Would be a lot stronger, but as a carpenter he was thinking like a carpenter and was thinking aesthetic instead of strength. Simple mistake but don't hold it against him, i dont.

Kinda hard to describe online.
More interested in making it look natural a 3rd board on the outside middle would help it a chicken wire wrap.
This channel is super interesting.
Very cool Jeff. Thanks for sharing.
preciate you Jeff...
Fine job 👍stay safe
Would some grease on the gate edges help prevent binding and water issues? Or would the hogs sense the odor of the grease and avoid it?

Or maybe run some wire around the joints to reinforce the lower joints that will be hit the hardest. Catching hogs is real fun to watch. Keep it up the fight! And good eating.
Thats a great trap idea, can't wait to see this work.
Shouldn't you of used some of that lumber to add a floor, so they can't dig down?
We build ours out of oak 1x6 and treated 2x4s. Make em 6ft high and anywhere from 9x9 to 12x12. They will climb out we put boards down both sides of ours.
After you trap the hog, how close can you get to them? Just wondering if they go wild if you are right there next to them?
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Good tip on potash for fertilizer - l didn't know that
Pile of slabs. I bet there a pile of copperheads and rattlesnakes in that pile lol.
I Bet too
Ha, you read my mind!
Great idea!
Them slabs would make great tables, 🇬🇧
Jeff, would a couple of lengths of regular hog wire cut in like 10 feet in lengths overlapped and wired together and placed under a bed of those pine needles and nailed back to the outside of the bottom rail suppress the ability of those wild hogs digging out on you?
daddy jeff can you use that scrap wood to make charcoal or is pine wood poisonous ?
Looks good man
Great job
Love these videos. Thanks Jeff.
Heap busy man. No slow down all day..
Good job make everything useful
Awesome Jeff!
Around here they use those slabs to make fences looks nice
you loaded that fast motion that truck started squatting ,or its a straw that broke the camels back,could it any bigger
Will the wood siding make it harder to dispatch the hogs once they’re trapped? Just curious.
What was the name of the remote gate trigger you were going to use? I could not make it out due to the wind noise. Thanks
Do y’all ever use wax on the slides of the gate to make it slide slicker? It might add another $.25 or so but it would be worth it.
You could use or sell them as firewood. They need cut to length and split once or twice and they're perfect
Been burning my slabs, after turning my wife onto youre channel, it's safe to say she will find a use for them now ....my place is full of hogs, can't wait to see how that pig Skinner works out ..I'm going to be stealing that idea also ..thanks for all the good tips ..
Market those slabs as compost bids? On the buy sell an trade sites on Facebook? It’s tool money? Screws are extra lol
