A storm blows in from the west and with the possibility of hail we need to get equipment put away. No matter the distractions.

Looking forward to the ‘Mike builds a new barn to fit all the tractors in’ video!! 👍🏻

When someone from Wyoming says the wind's starting to blow a little bit. You take notice

@jpmerrick8886 4 года назад

That's why I'm building wind farms there

@CowGirlKat8691 4 года назад

You should have been here in Wyoming in Gillette last year! We had baseball sized hail that trashed our roof, screens, apples, tomatoes and some flowers. We’ve had 6 hail storms so far this yr 2020 & again trashed the apples, damaged the tomatoes & pounded all my flowers to almost dust! My Shasta Daisies gave up & went to seed in July! And we live in town!

@leannkennedy6568 4 года назад

@@CowGirlKat8691 Yikes! Hopefully your next year is kinder and more gentle. 💕

@WarHawk- 4 года назад

Naw, Wyomingites don't consider it windy 'till those truck tire chains hanging off the fence are standing out sideways 😁 I used to live in Rock Springs and things like wind and hail were just considered to be inconveniences, even as it destroyed your kitchen garden and shattered your windows. Just life in the land of antelope and 'jackalope'.

@caseyg12 3 года назад

Very true!! My husband was up there for work, he always told me the wind wasn’t a joke. Me and our kids went up there for about 3 months and he wasn’t wrong 😂 we are from Louisiana. The only time we feel that much wind is for a hurricane lol

@timbaker7238 4 года назад

Good that you showed just what a farmer/rancher has to go through to save thing from storms. Great job!

The fly on the camera when Mike was moving the tractors was awesome. An entire episode dedicated to the fly would be amazing!

This is a very involving video. It felt like I was there. You sure handle stress well.

@UncleBubba5891 4 года назад

I was raised right there in Gillette and moved away when I joined the Marine Corps back in 2004... only two things I miss from living there now that I have lived in Hawaii and now sunny Southern California.... the snow and the summer storms! I’m tired of the nonstop sunshine 😂

@slawrence5693 4 года назад

Mike & Erin, I admire your resilience, dedication and diligence. So thankful to know that folks are still giving of themselves to their families, ranches & farms, and the land. Appreciate y’all. Have a blessed and safe week. 🤍🐮🤍

@g.s.7022 4 года назад

Sir, you're doing such a darn good job keeping everything important dry and safe. It is not for everyone to stay calm and run as fast as possible to get x things processed at the same time or as quickly as possible. Please stay safe and healthy with your whole family.👍💫☘️

@judieszydlowski4608 4 года назад

Wow! So much to think about and do in a short period of time. All I have to worry about when a storm is coming is closing the windows. As you've said often, you never know what your day will bring on the ranch.

@504CreoleCrystal 4 года назад

Living in New Orleans...Hurricane Alley, preparing for storms is always stressful, DEFINITELY not fun. At ALL!!!! Adding farm, animals, structures and equipment to that stress....whoooooo that’s a lot! Glad to know y’all are safe. I didn’t know y’all had horses!

With THAT sky and she's stopping fir DILL? Man has she got her priorities wrecked! Even though i live in town now, my heart still races when storms are in the aur, i CAN'T relax, even a little, until I know where every member of my family is(and SAFE( AND AL MY PLANTS AND PETS ARE... dont even TALK to me about winter and storm forecasts...

Hi again MIKE Can't control that darn weather! Been through many of those and way worse. Remembering water is my nemesis right now if it didn't hail the wind not blow too bad and the rain doesn't pound THEN the rain is welcomed moisture!! Always better to be safe then sorry and wow the prairie storms can really be something. Not forgetting the lightening that can do some scary damage too. Didn't see any on the vid so happy for your person not to be in danger. You did good MIKE!! Amazing when we all have to kick into high gear how fast things get done. Best to save that gear for the prairie storms lol lol lol! Dry out be safe and catcha again...

Thanks for filming all this Mike. Camera placement must be double the hassle when you're on the clock and that was really thoughtful of you to shelter Erin's plants inside the high tunnel.

@tammysarrazin7078 4 года назад

i would be swearing up at the storm as i was trying to put things away lol maybe you need a big huge tarp to cover up some window tractors if a storm comes ???

@pauljohnson9262 4 года назад

Our nephew has 4 high tunnels in NW Iowa (C Brown Gardens) with over 1000 tomato plants - he uses rebar supported by steel posts and clips the tomatoes as they grow to over your head. He alternates the spacing of the tomatoes on both sides of the rebar. Much easier to control and less stooping over to harvest the tomatoes.

@garrylechner2240 4 года назад

Awesome.channel, we get tons of pea size hail here almost every storm, granted I'm at 7500 feet, I truly have some awesome Wyoming weather here where I live and work year round for the National park service at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. When I head east and come down out of the Shoshones, it's like entering another world, then back up into the big horns.

@wykeishacraft6820 4 года назад

We lived 10 miles east of Cheyenne and I remember the storms and the winter hurricane force winds and the snow drifts as tall as the house LOL! 😆 .... live in Florida now....you know what you need...a tractor garage.

@LadyLithias 4 года назад

In yesterday's livestream, you asked what we thought about your going to 2/week and upon reflection, because I think it will help YOU the most (money-wise -- by enabling you to keep the interest of folks who tune in for the first time), I was thinking that your well-produced but twice a week videos are the best to grow your channel, reach more folks.

@OurWyomingLife 4 года назад

Sasheena thank you very much

@brianh6499 4 года назад

Please be careful being out in the open with all that lightning! A friend of mine was struck and killed by lightning about 30 years ago. Ever since then I get indoors if it’s around. Be safe! I’m going to subscribe- good videos!

@vivianwinford3681 4 года назад

It's called batten down the hatches. Where that came from I don't know.

@OZARKMEL 4 года назад

"From the practice aboard a ship of sealing hatches to prevent water getting below-decks in a storm by using covers secured by strips of material, called battens, firmly attached to the frame of the hatch opening." You're welcome! :)

@kaycox5555 4 года назад

I think it's a sailors term

@terribethreed8464 4 года назад

It's a nautical term that means exactly what it says. Ships have hatches covering their holds (where they store things like their cargo) that they have to lock down & secure so they don't allow water in or get blown away by high winds.

@SherryEllesson 4 года назад

It's a nautical term, and it applies to all "hatches" (doors) that close in such a way to keep water out of below-decks. It's a term that applies to all watercraft that has a cabin or "hold" (storage space).

@rodneywroten2994 4 года назад

Mike please dont forget to get your battery charger out of the rain. unless it is water proof .

@waynegilchrist1596 4 года назад

I know the rain can't hurt. I've actually been in arid areas where even a small amount of rain made a noticeable difference in what seemed like a few minutes later. Of course, no sooner than I typed that in the rain is apparently done. I used to work for John Deere and I would always tell the guys, "Nothing runs like a Deere" but if they ain't working you can outrun em!" When you kept trying to get it started it made me think, "Mike is SOL"! (SHURE OUT of LUCK) Thanks for sharing with us Mike.

@balesmith8936 4 года назад

This was the most exciting video you have had in a long time. Not saying I want more like this but it was sort of exciting to watch.

@Emg2463 4 года назад

yep...we were just putting stuff away getting ready for Isaias this morning. Waiting till the wind picks up a bit more before I bring in the bird feeders....they're filling up and getting ready too. Hope you get enough rain to help the grass !

"Wind still going to blow for a while. No getting around that." The first phrase a Wyoming meteorologist learns in forecasting school.

@deannaelsen4665 3 года назад

Cute Bee! 🐝 Thank You for this video. 🌻

@sociopathmercenary 3 года назад

Another option... Sew some magnets into the edges of some moving blankets. Works great to throw over your car or tractor to protect the windows against hail

@alanchesmore3312 4 года назад

Good job MIKE!

@glennthompson7525 4 года назад

Just curious as to your thoughts about a tarp? Maybe something that could be quickly anchored to a building and to a point on the tractor? Obviously clamps and bungees are something you've already created for an anchoring system. I'm guessing something more custom than that for the tractor is cost prohibitive?

@jaredparsons2334 4 года назад

We had a decent storm in Cody, Wy last night. Hard rain and heavy winds. My garage was full with all our toys.

@frankirwin2377 4 года назад

Mike you need a couple car ports off the side of your barn with the tin roofs. That keeps the elements from being in direct contact with equipment.

@amitghosh3711 4 года назад

Hey! You got some rain finally😊😊👍👍👍

@dakotamickscorner7637 4 года назад

I know it might sound mad. But I miss those storms.

@idadho 4 года назад

You need a portable Jump Pack. You can get them that can handle 24 volt if you need them. Heavy equipment operators use them on big diesels.

@rshoemaker7368 4 года назад

You have to move fast and calmly, which you did! Would love to know what you were actually going to show us today. Plans, what’s that.🥴Thank you Mike.

@nmelkhunter1 4 года назад

This was a cool video since I’ve always liked rain storms on the prairie and Wyoming seems to have some of the best ones. Sorry you didn’t get more rain, but glad the hail was minimal. Maybe you could make “where and how quickly we need to park equipment out the weather” into a new state fair contest. Just a thought...

@ginamacdougall9012 4 года назад

I grabbed everything i could to pad the whole car. Then the car cover, which is chained down. I've also fled the area and hid my car's in parking structures. This is in addition too running full tilt back home to grab the second car. Worth every bit of pain.. Not my car's lousy storms
