Bad Problem with Underground Shipping Container... Y'all Were Right... 

The key to avoiding crying when mowing your wild onion lines is to not get emotionally attached Matt.

Hey Matt. I worked as a camp site supervisor for creation festival for several years in the past. One issue we had was when tent campers were camping next to people with RV’s. The exhaust from the generator was effecting the tent campers.

I love realizing that matt has always wanted a place to bring the demolitia to and to have a good time and now we're ACTIVELY WATCHING him making it a reality

As someone who lost her awesome Dad two years ago to pancreatic cancer, I agree that Dads are great. I’m so glad to see you and your dad doing things together: I know he loves it just as much as my dad enjoyed helping me on projects!

I'm sitting here watching this video thinking wow, this is a kid I actually watch grow up. From your early days of pawnshop shot guns being destroyed to an all grown up version of a a very successful business man. Very cool to see you evolve to this.

The Tent Campers are going to get exhaust exposure next to the RVs. This is why most events or camping areas have separate areas for both.

Matt, cherish these memories with your Dad. You 2 have from what I can see a wonderful relationship.

Vote here for Matt to bring back the super long videos! Thank you for all you do Matt Carriker! You have brought me so much joy over the years! I have watched your channel since you started to do the little renovations back on your old house. In fact i think i ahve watched about 50% of your channel. (One week i spent the entire week catching up on all of your videos!) I have fallen in love with how you show us you renovating and fixing stuff! You actually helped me start my dream job of building houses! If it wasnt for your abandoned mansion series i wouldnt be in this field! Too bad i couldnt get a spot to come see the eclipse! Hope the event turns out great!

12:30 There's a Ron Swanson quote: "Never half ass two things. Whole ass one thing"

When you have the event you should put a camera in the deck that overlooks the field and do a time lapse. Look good Matt 👍

At my job we use half circle wind slits unless our customer requests a different style. We also would have hemmed the edges of the banner with rope extensions sewn in. The hemmed edge helps prevent grommet tear out.

Matt, in front of the poles mount plywood. It'll be a sacrificial barrier. You can replace them easily and it'll stop the wind plus you can mount signage to it.

When he said shredder I was thinking a chipper/ shredder. In Indiana we call that a bush hog and use it to “mow” a field lol.

In Appalachia, we call those ramps. Is a member of the garlic family/onion and oh my God are they so good with fried potatoes pull them up, wash them, diced up, brought you some potatoes with those in it you will be amazed.

Your dad is just like mine was. Always ready to help no matter what the situation was. You are blessed to still have your dad. Mine has been gone 5 1/2 years and I miss like I would miss my right arm. Good luck with the grand opening!!

Everytime I watch all I can think is "Man Mark would of loved this place!" Your making him and everyone proud. I bet you dad loves it too. looks like hes having fun.

Hey Matt, please get an arborist over. Those cut's Mikey did were tearing and bad. You said you wanted to clear a path for walking. Those trees can stay. Also an climbing arborist would make for sick content with you guys. Loose dead wood removal would be good for safety reasons. I can recommend a few youtubers for potential colabs. "Veteran tree service" "Guilty of treeson" "Buckin billy ray". They make the trees look nice and take care of them. Some of these trees are quite old. Cutting them down will make you unable to replace them to the state they are in within 50 years. Cheers

Remember Booby Trap spelled backwards is Partyboob

It was nice to see your dad again. Such an awesome example of a man, dad, grandpa, and human being!

Matt, we had the same problem when we put that huge banner on our church. Even with grommets and screws it ripped through them. Pastor got a bunch of 1x4s and made a frame with excessive amounts of 3 to 4 inch sheet rock screws and we haven't had a problem sense then.

Make a big pile of scrap wood in the middle of the field and everyone can clean their own campsite up and all of the wood will make a big bonfire you could light during the concert

I assume they are gonna have places for trash but bring trash bags and throw your trash away don't throw it on the ground don't throw your cans or bottles in the river please have respect for Matt and everyone out there and keep things clean

Very glad to see lots of work going on, and best thing is your in my state and I constantly work all the time

Demo Ranch “BOOTY SNAPPLE FEST” that’s the best festival name EVER!!! You have to do a Boott Snapple fest every year from now on !!

you should leave all that downed wood, for the campers to use for camp fires. they'll clean up every stick

hey matt super easy fix that might work in the container is to put jacks sideways wall to wall and put boards length ways to displace weight, then you can weld up a new frame inside to hold the weight.

thank you for your wisdom Clint

that neat little ledge you found would be a great spot for a bonfire.

Today I learned that apparently in Texas it ain't bushhoging, it's shredding.

Matt, from what i could see, those are Ramps, which is a mixture between wild onions and garlic. The only place they grow that far south is in wet bottom land near shade and you'll only see them in early spring. They are considered a delicacy here in Appalachia and we actually have Ramp festivals. The tatse and smell can stay with you for days after eating them.

Matt, put 3 or 4 2x4x length of sign horizontally top middle bottom. Then, put up 3/4 plywood attached to the 2x4 with long construction screws. This will stop the wind from the back and make it easy to mount the sign or mount new ones for events.

Can we get a Desperado Ranch Bucket Hat for the summer. Maybe eclipse themed. "Can't block out the sun? Our hat can!" - it sells itself. Summer is coming. Hide bootysnapple lyrics under the brim.

The footage at starts is a great example for the people talking about "cash grab" and "overcharging" last time. It's just a grass field, why so expensive? We'll look at all the work required for it to be just a field!

great seeing friends & family pitching in to get ready for the event.

You have a great bunch of guys to always be there to help you out. Dads are great. Hope you have a great time on the 8th. Wish I could be there. Maybe some day I Will get to see your resort. Happy Easter

I'm glad you still have your dad. My dad passed away a couple of weeks ago

You should totally section off an area to be the resorts vegetable garden. How cool would it be if a lot of the ingredients in the food on the resort was grown organically on the resort?

It is always nice to see your dad in a video with you. The fields are looking nice.

I pray that everything goes very well for the eclipse and all the guests when they are at your abandoned resort. Be safe, well, free, armed, and blessed, mate. Bob. Australia.

Great to see your Dad on the episode, he is such a cool guy!😊

I'm so happy buried that container the way you did... You have such a huge following of people like myself who have wondered about bearing a container even though they hear what people say! Now we all get to learn with you😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you Matt.👍🏼

One of these days I will find a way down there, after I get a reservation of course, and get to see what an amazing job you all have done bringing life back to the place.

I love it when your dad is on your channel I watch his channel as well but my dad passed in December and I truly enjoy watching y’all work together and love the content keep it up

You should make a stencil and spray paint the sign onto the poles. It would look cool and you’d have 0 worry about the wind

I love that Matt shows the problems and mistakes too and always with a smile and honesty

Well... you are getting the hang of grounds maintenance. A major skill needed for the resort.

Thanks Mom it doesn't get better than that great family love your vision

To anchor that sign just run bolts with washers through the grommets, don’t waist time tying it down. To prevent the wind from taking the sign cut a few half moons in it to let the wind pass through.

Always trust a random internet commenter

Put ferring pieces around edges as a frame around it ... Screws won't hold it

Always enjoy the time with your Dad my friend

Gonna take a guess that the reason those wild onions are so 'hot' in terms of smell is that the ground might have a larger than usual amount of sulfur in it. The onions use it as a defense to ward off being eaten and absorb it from the soil.

Hey, just a recommendation for when you have a band come out. When I perform outside we usually use a trailer or stage to play on. You’ll need to make sure your band you’re having come out has a sound system with them and a sound guy. Idk, you’re probably prepared, but just some recommendations. 😅

20:40 Put some painted sealed plywood and a 2x? frame around it to protect the end grain and paint the logo sign on it. No more wind problem. A couple smaller on each side for sponsorship or event signage. Have eye bolts in the corners and field for easy temporary banner hangs. Have a couple level pegs permanently spaced across the face, you could pull some string across for quick level hangs. Build a 2 foot wide work platform and ladder on the back side so you could reach over the wall. And some flag poles on each end, maybe one in the center.

Hey Matt is there any chance you might sell day passes for those of us who can’t camp due to work? No camping spot necessary if there’s even any left. It would be awesome to be able to check out the eclipse at the ranch or even just hang out with fellow Demolitia for the day!

Seeing your dad helping out really hits me hard today that I won't be able to do stuff like this with him anymore since he passed in January...😞

Matt’s Dad has the most stereotypical Texas accent ever and I love it.

ranch looks extra beautiful this time of year!

That’s cool your dad is bring shredder out to help, never know the TMNT might show up as well.

Commenting till Matt hires us to make a custom piece for the ranch 👊😎

Love it - I believe you all will have a very good time. Greetings from South Africa

For the inside of that metal box, get these Steel Ratcheting Load Bar Lock 2"X4" w/ Pads Van Truck Trailer. Put 2x2 foot steel plates on each end. You’ll need them down the middle and horizontal as well.

Matt...the best way to hang those giant signs is using strong bungy...and tension the bungy till it's quite tight on all corners, then tension the sides and top edge.....that way the sign can flex with the wind, but remain taught...if you fix it with screws then it can't flex and rips....My Families company specialises in creating and hanging these giant banners in the UK....and I really mean giant , we've wrapped the tower of London while it was undergoing repairs, which was attached to, and hid all the external scaffolding....check out some of the work at Blink Giant media...all of the wraps are attached using loops of bungey with a steel hook at the end of the loop.

I wish I had a job that I would be excited to stay late for and get things done.

That place is looking good! I like the sarcasm that is filtering in too.

You are all doing a great job! on the next sign, for the sake of air holes, randomly place gromets throughout the sign. That way when the wind passes through the sign it won't tear.

Matt thank you. You are my role model. I have watched you for more than five years now. I hope one day i get to meet you and say thank you.

Bro I love how you weren’t satisfied with just making RU-vid videos and parlayed that into multiple different ventures. Hope it all works out

you should put a 6 inch layer of nylon rebar concrete over the shipping container before the dirt. it will stiffen and offer rust protection to the outer walls of the container. inside will still need paint. and venting should be from out the back low up through the dirt to a snoorkel to the roof at the front so as the front heats up, it draws fresh air through a cool pipe into the container.

Any visit from Dr. Lee is always a treat! :)

You need some Japanese Cherry Blossom trees for those pastures.

Those wild onions we call in Tennessee "ramps" a garlicky/onion taste. Goes great in fried taters!

i got wild onion growing all over my backyard too in Houston. and my bro keeps planting new ones. i know how u feel Matt.

Awsome. The sign idea is here!! What you can do is put some cheap wooden plates behind. Then the wind can not catch it. And the wooden plates can be screwed.

Nice humble channel G. Keep it coming.

Wonder what the grass that was seeded at the previous river property looks like now?

Wished I lived closer to the resort. Would love to be there. I’m super excited for ya and the whole event. Looks like it will be a great time 🤘🏼

Most of my vacations revolve around snowboarding so if you could install a snowy mountain with a lift next that would be great! Thanks Matt!

Get some 18 wheeler wall jacks. The jacks they use for the inside walls to keep the loads from shifting

Thanks for all your hard work. Full-time Rver here.

Missed your Dad! He looks so well! 😊❤

On the wall with the sign on, you could stuff the gaps with rope - similar to the boat hulls.

shipping containers need to be sealed for water leakage and shored up, they are not designed to take weight load on the roof panels. they a can easily rust and cave in , be careful

I think Matt should have hired a graffiti artist to paint him a sign on the telephone poles, that would have been EPIC.

Looks like a very nice Spot for a bush plane to land.

Theres a video of a guy somewhere doing buried shipping containers, goes into massive detail on it , in order to prevent corrosion, keep it level footed and how to insulate it too. Spray foam on the outside and concreted over was the eventual solution i think.

As someone who apparently missed the Bootysnapple train, can someone explain what the heck that is about?

You have a wonderful source of camp fire wood ! 🔥

Regarding the container, it is enough to insert a few reinforcing frames made of a closed profile from the inside with braces from the top (45) - just like supporting the ceiling in mines

I love the hat. You look great in it. Please, please, please have a livestream during Bootysnapple Fest, so those of us who can't be there can see it, too. 🙏

Love the videos. Just one thing, you need a 32ND or 64ND filter for the mavic (for sunny daytime). You can buy their 4pack. ND-Filter is like sunglasses for your camera so you can retain colors. Your drone shots are always over exposed, if you slap on the ND you’ll be good.

COOL!!! You got Y’all’s sweet tea…best stuff for ice tea.

Hey Matt Ive been working at a sign and banner shop for the past 4-5 years now and have seen a couple videos of you guys making your own banners and having wind problems. When we make one after it’s printed/finished we will take a round object and trace a semicircle with an x-acto knife around different areas that way the wind can pass through without pulling on the entire thing and putting strain on the grommets. 👍 hope this helps!

you should host a fly in with your pastures.. they look like decent runways for personal planes.

it actually would be super cool for you to have a big organic garden/orchard at the resort. if you plan on getting fruit/nut trees its better sooner than later because a tree takes like up to 7 years to start producing fruit. as a kid it brought me great joy going outside and gathering fruit and other stuff from the garden.

every time i see that river shot I see tents along the bank fishing the river ,you could fit a lot

I want You, I want Mere and I want the kids to be happy - lots of Love. Everything after that shared by you on the channels x brings be great joy. Love it when Dr. Lee plays in. Amazing Matt!

On the next episode: Renovating and abandoned underground shipping container.

Save us a few onions for the eclipse. I'll use them in the Loaded by C.A.R.B.S. mobile kitchen!!!
