"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

Apparently according RUclips “This video is unavailable on this device.” Even tough I have a iPhone XR 😂 🤷🏻♂️
@@whitestar4431 I've tried it on my phone and my computer and I keep getting the same damn message as you. I've never gotten this message from one of his videos before so I don't know what's going on
Apparently this video is not available on my device
"Duck 🦆 Norris"! I love it!! 🤓
I expect whatever made a meal of Miss Duck will soon be appearing as the main ingredient of a catch and cook on the Wooded Beardsman.
Breaded Raccoon with Duck Egg Sauce!
It says, “ This video is unavailable on this device”. Strange...I always watch your videos on this phone.
I'm having the same problem! 😔
PC is doing it too.
same here
same, pc and mobile. tried different browsers.
wonder if he showed some bloody dead duck and the algorithm took the video? not that i care about that stuff, but youtube is touchy. And I can only wonder since the video wont display lol.
Same here
Kevin, you are so delightful! Positive, funny, quick, & informative. Glad that Chris "convinced" you to make a youtube channel! Love you guys!!
Next time you need to deal with a widow maker like that one, use a sturdy X frame and set your strap or chain on top of it, leaning a few degrees towards the tree. That way, when the tractor pulls, you add lift to the root end to get it off the ground easier. No digging needed.
I think the duck event is a good story for a children's book. You should write it. You're a great story teller. You've already got the bullet point outline in this video.
The sad part of critters for sure, we aren't the only ones that might eat them. Just had some coyotes dig under the wall of a stall in my pole barn to get at some chicks I had there. They ate a couple of dozen before heading out. They didn't even leave a tip. The place is looking great. Thanks for sharing.
Shop project make a tree dolly two wheels at the base of an A frame with a hook and chain at the top, you straddle the trunk with the frame connect the tractor from the top of frame chain goes around tree, when tractor pulls it pivots the frame lifting the tree slightly and you drag it out :) you get a lift and wheels easy to move
Kevin I am unable to watch this weeks video on either of my devices. I have been watching weeks prior to today but not today. I am able to watch everyone else.
I had to put a chicken wire skirt around my coop to stop fox from digging in. I think it’s about 2 feet in length when it lays flat and normally predators won’t dig that far away when they try to get in so it helps.
I wonder why RUclips keeps telling me that this video is unavailable on my device? No problems with other channels
I'm having the same problem
@@bobdicecco4511 it's happened before on this channel
Same with me
Me too
Having the same issue too.
Destined for Home Depot... almost ROFLed my coffee
Glad to see it’s the season for new builds again !
... sorry you had to let Duck Norris go ... my friend uses a large, complete closed heavy ish wire cube (thus including the floor) for her chickens and ducks, coz she was plagued with predators ... she’s lost nothing in over ten years ... they free range most days when she is there ... initially, long laborious task and suppose expense of materials and time, but longevity has more than paid this back and fresh duck eggs ...hmmmmm yum yum ... perhaps a future project ... and worth considering for hen run ?
... love my Saturdays to tune into your vlogs ...”destined for Home Depot” (and many more classics throughout your vlogs) ... didn’t realise you Canadians had such a dry wit ... I thought that was just us Irish 😀 ... have a good week 🙏☘️
Nothing better than time in the forest with Kevin and Don but the poor duck
Hello neighbor to the north! I'm glad to see that you have good weather for your endeavors this week. It's nice to see Don again and of course your pretty little woodland sprite in her tutu. (So cute! 🤗)
I'm sorry you lost a duck. The new name of the remaining duck is epic though!
I hope you continue to have fair weather and stay safe. ✌💜🐖💨
Duck Norris? Feels more like a "Chuck Bronson" vibe, as in "When a guy killed his wife, it was time to exact revenge, Chuck the Duck Bronson stars in "Just Put it On My Bill" opening in theatres everywhere July 1st." Quack Quack... Who's there?
The Fairy Princess digging holes just killed me!😅👍
I'm getting "This video is unavailable on this device" Error 😢 and on ALL my other devices. :-(
Same. Can't play video on any of my devices.
Me too
Same!
It should be working now!
@@ModernSelfReliance Thanks for fixing it. Sorry about the Duck 💛
Another great vid. Lots of laughs too. Always good to have cameos of Chris and don too! If you ever have time, you should consider building a structure on the sun side of the pond to put the pond in shade. It will help keep the algae down as well as keeping the water colder. One option is to put all your solar panels of that side to block as much as poss. Or just plant some trees, build a wall, or do another out building if the ground will support it.
It does stay pretty shady at the pond..
Sad about Mrs duck but glad Duck Norris is in good company. The excavation was so satisfying to watch, especially in time lapse!
I absolutely love this ...you care about your land the trees, 4 trout and a lonesome duck enough to find him a perfect home. Can't wait for more.
I've seen others who char the post ends before putting them in the ground, to keep them from rotting and keep bugs out.
Yeah, although even that is only a little better afaik. It'll still rot away, just hopefully a few years later.
Really, I don't think there is a very good way to put a wooden post in the dirt and make it last.
It's cedar though from what I recall it won't rot being this particular tree. No need for tarring/charring it then
Morning Kevin, Don, nice to see you, spring clan up going well I see, sorry about miss duck, that appeared to be a big raccoon, make a hat, love your channel, part of my Saturday morning routine, stay safe, peace my brother.
Have a red wriggler farm for your compostable “waste” great for the chickens and great for any future garden projects ! Like a green house ! :D
I started watching this and came back to finish it just now... now it’s saying the video is unavailable on this device (iPhone) :(
I'm trying to watch on PC and it says the same thing...
PC, Firefox, same.
Same!
Android same
Should be working now.
That girl was so confident when she said “Duck Norris” that is hilarious
Duck Norris. Love it ! Trout pond : I know that’s a shallow pond. The aerator should only be aerating the top 12-16” of the water. Having it sit on the bottom will cause the water to turn over. Like convection in an oven. If u keep it at the top portion of the water it’ll aerate that portion and keep the cooler water at the bottom which is what trout want. Colder water holds oxygen significantly better and warm water does not. Hope this helps. And yes I have a trout pond. Just think about where u catch trout. Deeper pools in brooks and streams. And water in ponds that the pond is generally 25+’ deep and always in the deeper water. Hope this helps keep those rainbows going and reaching grill potential.
That sunroom idea on the cabin would be pretty cool.
We used to line the outside edges of our pens with rather large rocks, so that if anything did try to dig under, the rocks would fall, sealing the holes automatically.
(large river stones, like 40+lb each)
That's a great idea.
Happy turn of events for Duck Norris
EVERYONE: "It's a raccoon!"
Such a good Saturday morning! Thanks Kevin! RIP duck! I loved watching you grow up!
We have lost chickens over the years to wildlife. A natural deterrent is wrap wild rose branches along the bottom of the pen. The thorns help keep the predators away.
I love how consistent you are with your content man
I was going to ask for an update on all of the builds... but I didn’t have to! Thanks Kevin!
You should use a heavy gage fencing to protect your ducks. Raccoons can bite through the fence you have around your ducks. Just a suggestion.
Trail cam shows the bearded woods man stealin the ducks😂
Well that was good you were able to rehome the lone duck. Great name the kids had for the duck. Hope the chickens will fair better and you put up a heavy base around the chicken wire enclosure. I chuckled when you dug out that enormous hole right next to your post (with the tight fitting hole) 🤣🤪 Things are coming right along nicely 👌. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Use cattle panel along the sides and under your coop, smaller the holes the better.
Seems like you need to put some Simply Safe products on that duck coop. 😬
Hey Don, the Jets are 2-0 in the series. Here we go!
35:12 DUCK NORRIS ! I LOVE IT!
Thanks for the videos. You make Saturday mornings fun to wake up to 👍🏻
Maybe put the duck with the chickens, and buy a big guard goose.
As much as I love all your fantastic builds, I would love to see the scope of the domain. How much forest is there? Do you have an idea on how big the homestead is gonna be or you just keep on building? I understand if you wanna keep this private, but a nice droneshot would be awesome. Saw this on a channel (Erik Grankvist, swedish guy building his log cabin) and that was just awesome to see.
RIP duck.
I'll be having smoked duck today to show my respect for your loss.
Strange way to show respect lol
Too soon! Hahaha
@@vincenthucknall7175 I really did take duck out of the freezer and started defrosting it to put in the smoker. I really suck :-)
Put small grid cattle panels or fencing under the chicken tractor sides, make sure they are all on all sides so they can’t dig. Move tractor on them. Then when you want to move it pull forward, put panels down and then pull tractor on the panels. You need hardware cloth on the top, raccoons, coyotes, dogs, possums etc can destroy chicken wire its worthless in the wild.
You need an old car hood to use as a sled when you're pulling the base of a tree with the tractor. It won't dig as much in the ground.
Wranglerstar uses an old jeep hood
Looks like youve got some great quality earth up there, ever thought about a greenhouse project?
RIP duck
Sorry for your loss sir.
Silkies are like bantams, about 2.5 silky eggs to a regular large chicken egg. Still very delicious. And they make great yard birds.
Destined for Home Depot!!! Oh so true!
You and Dawn work so very well together! It's very inspiring!
UHhh...that would be 'DON.'
@@jamesellsworth9673 I know. Dawn is my pet name for him!
You did it again Kevy! Knocked it out of the park. I love your content. You are building a beautiful, fun and sustainable homestead. You show the hard work, challenges and set backs with such thoughtfulness, common sense and concern for the environment, the animals and people involved. Your sense of humor and turn of phrase complement your story telling abilities along with your cast of characters make your channel very entertaining and educational. I hope some day to catch a glimpse of the ever elusive Queen of the kingdom and of course more of that beautiful "Beans" footage...lol. You turned the tragedy of Momma Quacker into a "who done it" Duck Norris episode with a positive ending.
My hats off to ya my friend. Thanks for sharing part of your world. Keep up the great work you do. Continued thoughts and prayers for y'alls safe, warm and joyful journey. 🤗👍✌️😄
PS, your fairy princess needs her own "fairy sized" tools work with around the property. I know they make little pink shovels and chainsaws up there in Canada..lol
I like watching your videos. Feels like I’m following an uncle around while they teach me new things... 😂 ❤️
You could try painting the pex piping.
You should incubate those eggs. I just had a bunch hatch. Duck Norris looked like he had some good genes.
You need to hatch those eggs. I just got done hatching my duck eggs. A raccoon got the dad and I did it in memory of the father's. To the ducks look like the dad. He was a chocolate Runner. And the mother is a Welsh Harlequin duck
You do have the right ideal about digging and cutting around the stump if you don't have a big enough piece of equipment.
Live long and Free Duck Norris 🤗
For the chicken runs that your not moving around I recommend putting hardware cloth / mesh on Under the ground around the edges of the run that’ll stop predators digging under
THAT WAS A GOOD CUT, CONCIDERING ALL ! It fell and did not hit anything. Also y'all do know wood burns LONGER if it is NOT SPLIT ! Split wood burns QUICKER & HOTTER.
For some reason I have a "This video is unavailable on this device' message on the device I always watch on. Any ideas as to why?
Having issues too
same for me
I love this episode..Nice tree felling. Happy ending for Duck Norris
its recommended that you burn the cider post black along the part that is going to be in the ground and make half a foot to foot out of the ground as this helps prevent it from rotting
Good for you and for him finding the male a group.
I have the RUclips guys looking into why's it's unavailable.
I'll try back tomorrow.
not working for my phone or computer in austrailia
Did this error just start a day sfter it wad posted?
Thanks Kevin! I seen you posted a video earlier. I couldn’t watch till now. I got the same error. Hope to see your progress again. Take care
I will try again tomorrow... thanks Kevin ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sending the other duck to a new home, that was great to see
Duck Norris thats awesome.
Im all the way in Arizona and your ideas and ingenuity are absolutely genius.Keeps me Sane watching your Videos. Keep up the Great Work!!!
I've been building stuff for a long time... but still the info is great! I am just starting building with what I got ...lol and the blocks to make the box beams is great! I've used plate steel between lumber which is very strong but also expensive! And don't always need that strength especially if you are only holding up a very light tin roof...
Trees needed more ninja kicks. Geeeez!
I just love watching your vlogs...so interesting..
“That ones destined for Home Depot”, lol, love it.
I love the baseball ⚾️ bat joke!🤣 funnyman must be nice to be able cut your own wood! Never a dull moment with you! I want a tractor 🚜 now!😁💥
Hi from Melville Saskatchewan have a blessed day nice work on the property
~~I get an error stating "This video is unavailable on this device." when trying to watch it on a pc~~
update: It seems to be fixed now 👍
me too....first time it's happened.
Same here
yaya..me too. on phone
Yup me to on the fire stick that always watch him on
It's working for me now. On Samsung phone
It's looking good Kevin 👍,all the new buildings forming around the cabin is gona be awesome,keep it lit 🔥pal.
As a guy from Newfoundland it amazes me when people can dog a hole like that... I would dig about 4 inches and have to blast 20 inches of rock :)
Lol , "Duck Norris" ! 🦆
I’m wondering if EVERYONE gets your subtle innuendo’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or just the out right ones ?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I enjoy watching the sawmill and the thinning of trees and 🔥FIRES🔥!! Rip 🪦 duck whose name I unfortunately forgot. Happy for Duck Norris.
I think they slip over most peoples heads.
Shame about the duck ...looks like he has gone to a good home ..... let’s get building love all your builds xxx
That was the coolest chicken coop I have ever seen! Need the plans for that haha
Kevin, get another blue drum and cut a hole in it so Mr Duck has a little house to sleep in, I say yes to incubating the eggs & see if they hatch.
Poor Mrs. Duck R.I.P
Duck Norris!!! 😂😂😂 Perfect name!
Destined for Home Depot, that should be a shirt
"Duck Norris" HA! Appropriate.
Chuck would be proud knowing it survived the attack mere days earlier.
Chuck is 81.
Regarding the duck relocation - that's what Greg Ovens did for Hop-along.
”Duck norris”.....priceless😂😂😂
I am rather sad to see the channel mascots go.. but at least Duck Norris found a new home with what seems to be a loving family, and people that will not only protect but also appreciate and love him.
Now we need a new channel mascot... Only thing that seems fitting for the channel is to find yourself a beaver. (And not the 70s meaning of beaver either)
DUCK NORRIS!!!!!🤣🤣
This was an emotional episode, RIP
A good tool id recommend is a nice set of chops for those post holes
If you had a permanent home for the ducks. You would place wire way down, bury it or cement in. So critters cannot dig under. You have to keep duckies safe.
NIce ad read brotha! That was spot on, I want simply safe now =D
Good idea in the root cellar vents. Fire up that smoker!
"This video is unavailable on this device"
Watched half the video this morning on the same tablet... Now it won't let me finish watching it... The hell?
Wasn't sure it was you Kev, no pencil in your ear this video. lol! Keep up the great videos brother, Cheers from London On.
Thank you so much for the tour, gives a nice insight on the property. Rip duck :'(
Duck Norris!!
