There is a famous quote by Lucille Ball “If you need something done, give it to a busy person”. You, my friend, are that busy person!
can't argue that
What a wonderful childhood you're giving your children! They will remember it, and cherish it, for the rest of their lives.
Here's me hoping yeah
I do not think they are his children but Nieces
Upstream Walk in Summer 😎 sounds 📢 great, definitely would watch it.
downstream :D iv never been downstream before, but iv been upstream
Lovely family and beautiful children.
:)
Yes but my heart was in my mouth when I saw them so near the water. It brought back such awful memories from a tragic incident we attended. One slip and the kiddie was gone. Please, please watch your children carefully near water especially when it is in spate as it was there. ❤
the "Stream Walk" video is a great idea!
I think so too
Oh man, havin a zip line as a kid would've been the best! Those kids are really lucky.
Good job on clearing up that bridge.
Thanks. They are starting to kind of annoy me now :D every 10mins they ask if they can ride it.
Great video again, it looks really beautiful where you live. The children are so lucky to have that zip line, good to see you spending time with them.
every 10 mins they ask if they can ride it!!! i'm starting to regret building it :D
@@Ants_Pants 😂😂😂 that’s typical for children. Mind you I would want to keep having a go too 😂😂. Your skill and workmanship are amazing, at least you know it’s safe.
Best Uncle in Estonia. You are a good man Andris. Thank you for your videos :)
Thanks mate
Nice job clearing up that blockage. Spring is always tough with all that melting leading to flooding and muddy conditions. Bonus fun with the kids - makes all the hard work worthwhile!
Looking forward to exploring the stream this Summer! Lets go!!
me too, iv never done that before
Ok , after a long trip to St.Petersburg Florida I'm home and very happy to see a Ants Pants post . I'm ready
Hope you had a fun trip.
Exploring is always fun.
Humans explore their whole life, yet once their finished, they end up where they started
Those kids are so adorable!
yeah
It looks like the kids had a great time .. Nice to see the family. Having a look down the stream sounds really good. Love the channel mate.
Yeah, lots of fun we had
Those kids must think you are the coolest uncle on the planet. Nice job on the stream cleaning, so excited for summer to come. I'd love to see an exploration video as I am very curious about where you live.
Well it's something between those lines :D I will think about doing something like that
MINIONS! :D
*push push push*
I bet you are the funny uncle. Just as you are our funny youtube ants pants estonian miracle ant. :D
'Til next time. Glad to see you have spring as well :)
lol they are starting to bug me now, every 10mins they wanna run the zipline... haha
Love the walking the stream idea in the summer!
me too
so nice to see the kids having fun.
lots of fun!
First time I have watched your video. It looks like you have a great home The land reminds me of our American Northeast. That log ja really was causing a lot of flooding. The zipline looks like a lot of fun for all ages. Be Well and Safe! Look forward to more videos.
Thanks, wish you the best also
So great for the little ones❤️
lots of fun
Great to see the kids loving the zipline 😊
their like a magnet and the zipline is a flat steel plate
I like the idea of walking down the stream in the summer 👍🏼
me too
Build a canoe/boat/hovercraft from a Soviet era bench/door/tank then use that to show us what exists down stream. You're welcome.
hehe
Having real fun and its outdoors breathing some fresh air!!
Walking downstream is a great 👍 💡! And - looking @ your beautiful concrete bridges, a couple of
haha "beautiful" is not the word i would use:D but they work :D
Another fun Video Andris ,Love it when the Children are sort of involved Thanks ,,
Thanks Pamela
The kids love the zip line. Grand Ma is overseeing that the kids are secure. Another great video, thank you Ants.
yes :D
Really liked this video. I love seeing you interact with the kiddos.
thanks Rob
Loved the video and seeing the family! Glad you unblocked the jam!
Thanks Deb
Great video Ants!! Children bring such great joy and then add a babbling brook, nice!! Great work!!!
Thanks Rox
Greetings from USA (Illinois). Glad to see your family having fun. Love your channel. I'm 75 and wish I had half the energy you have. Keep up the great Videos and the quick wits.
Thanks Bob. Energy is as it is. Some days got lots, others, none
Now you have to build a farm train ride for the kids!
haha :D
@@Ants_Pants "Come for the rides, stay for the sarcasm!"
Nice Job always fun when the snow meltsdoing the clean up😊 Nice to see the kids enjoying the zipline and spring❤️🇨🇦
their like magnets to it... asking me every 10mins to ride it :D
Love your videos….greatly appreciate your humor!😂
thanks :)
Another great video , nice to see the family . Job well done on the blockage !! The stream tour would be great !
i think so too
I enjoyed your video, your family is adorable. Taking a walk beside the creek sounds wonderful, it looks so beautiful there! Take care
thanks Deb
@@Ants_Pants you’re welcome
Great job clearing that blockage! It would be cool to see the rest of the river. Maybe even a kayak ride if its safe after your bridges. The kids are cute, bet they love that zip line! Great video bro!
Think my Kayak would be stuck every 2 meters lol
You've made memories with those little ones they'll remember all their lives. Thanks for sharing them with us. Cheers Andris! (And for sure, I'd like to see further down the stream when you have a chance.)
i hope so too
I would love you to take us on a journey down the stream 😊
me too, as iv never been
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you andris.
Thanks!
The flowing water is beautiful
i agree
Love you getting the kids involved!
their fun
My thermodynamics professor (engineering at Colorado State) was from Estonia. Great professor.
Great minds are all around the planet
Love how you can see the water level instantly drop by like 20 cm as soon as the blockage is gone. Good job!
gravity doing its thing
I am 76 and some of my favorite memoirs of my father are the times I sat on his lap while he drove his dozer. Your children will remember you fondly.
😇👍 take care
09:20 Nice, that's what uncles are made for 😂
haha :D
I see the wee beasties have been released from their winter confines. They look like they have grown a lot!
lol... the winter came back like 2 days later
And yes please on more of your little river walks ,Minus the biting mossies ,😄😄
hehe :D
Glad the zip line gets to be fun for everyone! Also, wow, clearing that blockage was an almost immediate difference in water level.
water went byby fast :D
Fun video! The stream looks cool in the spring with all the water! Maybe you need to put in hydro! Anyway, love the video as always!
Thanks Jerry. That would be awesome
Exploring idea for the summer will be great!
Lot of water there, great job. Zippline is big suxes 😂
the kids are annoying me now, every 10 minutes they wanna ride it.... haha i need to build a smaller one where they don't need a supervisor
Another great adventure Andris, but even better was getting to see your mother and nieces. Assuming “mother like son”…does she share your sarcasm and work ethic. It would be great to see you involve her in your videos with some translating of course, And you need a dog to participate in your solo adventures.
she always finds stuff that i should have done differently :D but its all good
All you need to do with the bigger bridge is cut it in three places and then you can make it into a double lift bascule bridge like Tower Bridge in London - no need to worry about material buiding up underneath it. The river walk sounds great - even if you're only pointing out a bit of nature and some of the buildings that the stream passes by. There may be some interesting farm land or something unusual too. Glad to see you let other people try the zip line - even children.
Engineering marvel that :D
Big tools, tasks, and fun a person couldnt ask for more!! Or just me?! lol
heh :D yes
One.of your best…I grew up in Oregon …it is famous for rain…I loved playing in the rain…building forts around the creeks…it is great seeing your kids have so much..a great time in life…stay safe..
thanks for sharing
spring is sprung, the grass is riz, jee wiz I've got more to do now than i ever diz (anonymous) nice seeing the kids enjoying spring!
actually :D we got snow back like 2 days after this
Good and easy fix! Well done and yes would love to see more of the stream 👍😌
i will do that!
Watching u clear the stream was super satisfying!! Great video my friend!!! I always look foreward to your vids!! Hope all is well!!
Thanks Darrel, i hope the same for you everyday
You are a master of those hard to get camera shots, some of where you can't even see in there. Most would just say "see I fixed that" after it's done. Cheers!
:)
Well that was fun!!! So that's how you get rid of the kids when you grow tired of them. Just send them down the zip line....never to be seen again.🤣 I think a video trip down the creek would be good. I look forward to it. Stay safe my friend.
haha:D i gotta pick them up also, it's a lot of running up and down for me :D
You guys had a lot of snow brother! That’s a lot of water and I bet it’s cold stuff Andris! Be careful my friend!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You have some pretty little girls my friend, I know you always keep them safe brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻
yes
ahah so cute, i wish i had a place like this to grow up ! cheers
everyone should have one
Really cool video, it's amazing how much the water level dropped after you cleared that blockage. Fun working the digger in water eh, that's a strong current in there too. Good to see the zip line so popular and that's the first time I've seen someone using a wheel barrow to do gold panning. cheers bro.
hehe:D yeah the water went bye bye fast
Removing those logs was definitely a good idea. About taking us with for the ride along side the river... please reserve my spot. Front seat if possible 😂
Titanic-Pants will leave port soon
@@Ants_Pants 😂
I didn’t understand a word the kids said, but I understand what they said. 😊
hehe :D
. I love happy children. Makes the world a better place.
hehe
Eesti keel is always a mystery to me. At times it's somewhat understandable and othertimes a complete mystery. Keep up the good work
a lot of the words are similar to english and a lot of them make no sense compared to english :D
Thank you for sharing your life with us, such a beautiful place 👍👏🙏
Thank you sir
Beautiful family. God bless!
Thank you
👍 KIDS and their toys, even big ones. 🙂 Sharing is CARING.
Little devils! haha You look outnumbered, Ant!
Lol
A great idea to go down the creek in the summer - it reminds me of a walk I took when I was a teenager in the interior of the state of Goias, here in Brazil, we walked in a river with a rocky bottom and slow water. A show. Thanks for yet another video! Hugs, Alexandre.
Loved seeing more of your family. They appear to be very entertained by you. It's wonderful to see the snow gone and everything turning green again. Early in the video, I was wondering if you ever let the children use the zipline, so it was cool to see that at the end. Glad you unblocked the bridge, because the water was almost up to your sauna. I would absolutely love to see you explore further down stream! I like all your building/fixing videos, but it's also nice to seeing you enjoy your beautiful property. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks David, as always, you rock! yes it was quite high up there. That's why i build that concrete ledge higher near the sauna, because at one point, the river or stream was so overfilled that water just flowed next to the building.
happy nieces!!
yes, take me to the river
drop me in the water…
no worries you wont drown :D the water is so shallow in the summer
Nice job that did the trick! Nice to see your snow is finally going, for some reason we just can't seem to shake old man winter, he is still trying to hang in there, it will surely give us a late planting season here in Mn. Where I live the snow is gone but the northern part of the state not so much. Great to see you using the zip line and the children seem to enjoy going on it too. Looks like a great day. Enjoy your weekend and family time.
Snow actually came back lol
A kayak cruise would be interesting
hehe yes
Yeah do some fishing while walking the stream. That would be cool 😎.
that would be cool
Love the girls giggles ❤
oh yes
exploreing sounds good
Looks like the kids were keeping you busy .
very buzy
The walk down the stream would be cool.
Yes
"The results are in! The award for "The Greatest Uncle In The World" goes toooooo....."
(Good work on the bridge, by the way.)
to the uncle who gets called turd :D haha
You should build a small hydro plant on that stream! Some flow of water! Would like to see that down stream video too. Hope all is well buddy!!

Hey! When the sticks/logs got loose and all that water came flowing thru! Satisfaction level 100%. You could have cleaned the undercarriage of the minix in that stream!
hehe yeah
... to go for a ride with daddy on the excavator or the zippline is their messure of their of perception what an adventorous life can be like! You've got wonderful children, mate! Congrats to you on them! Greetings from germany from the silver fox, David! You and your family, have a nice spring weekend!
😉🦊
so true :D thanks David
❤️👍👍👍
Last minute call on cleaning the blockage. Not as bad as having to clean a beaver dam that is very old and full of heavy logs and mud. Your small excavator was very useful here, try doing the same job with a old EO-2126. Definitely im waiting for the exploration episode in the future.
oh man that EO-2126, would get stuck somewhere :D
Good old Uncle Pants 🥳
hehe
I put up a zip line across our canal but it's not near as long as yours
Looks like fun enjoy
mine is about 87 meters long
I would love subtitles so we could learn a little Estonian!
The default language on the closed captioning is Estonian.
i write Estonian subs manually, you can trigger them on the settings
@@Ants_Pants you’re the best!
T-shirt idea...An outline of your face wearing the beanie with "Ants Pants" on the forehead and the Soviet mafia glasses. Under that have "Mmmm...yeah". A million seller!
I think, "Mmmm...yeah" should be his tagline!
😂🤣🤣
It’s good to go for a walk….. especially when your pissed off!
haha so true
Ha sunspot had me wondering how joyous it might be wearing earmuffs while enjoying children haha
haha :D i came from the workshop project, i think i forgot them on
@@Ants_Pants nah even funnier the sunspot was what looked like you had on earmuffs fun stuff man
@@jeremiahhaugh7974 oh
Love seeing your family in the video
thanks
I’d love one of those mobility scooters, great job
haha :D
Thank you, it is always a pleasure start the day with you when i watch your video, i learn a lot every time 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Carlos, i always like to read em comments after a video
Short video….. Long Video…. My Ants Pants fix has been fulfilled.
hehe
Que bueno como se gosa uno a los hijos y nietos. Me recuerda cuando yo tenía a mis hijas pequeñas
😇
Uncle andris made the little devils' days, great video!
You got that right!
Good job with the bridge Bro, water is a very powerful thing when it is contained you should look in to Hydro Power free Electricity must be a good thing. Zip wire looks great fun and very popular.Great video Ants as always. Thanks for uploading
Thanks for watching Martin
