I appreciate you sharing this. I recently bought property with a pond and I am trying to learn what I need to do to maintain/improve it. People like you sharing your knowledge are very helpful. Thank you

I absolutely love to watch you operate that thing. My daughter in law think I'm crazy because I love watching people cutting grass and you and the guy that grind trees. I think those machines are amazing. I love all things done outside, I love a clean house also, but love being outside, fishing, hunting, gardening and such. I would love to operate one of those machines. Blessings

Every time i watch you do a pond, it cements in my head how mine needs to be redone. Its 31 years old, and small pines have grown around the edges. On my wish list is a Kubota or yanmar mini excavator. And the place to learn how to-use it.

Chris i gotta hand it too you man. The fact that you actually take the time to safely plan out your plan of attack and where you wanted too place your dead fall is really neat and tidy and very organized in my opinion that is ten out of ten in my books.

Word to the wise: For all those watching Chris do this type of work and think to themselves I can do that....homeowners-that includes you. Let it be known that I've only seen a few people who can operate the way he does. It's the result of many years of experience, operating, listening, and learning. Oh, and having the right equipment is a must. Equipment that is well taken care of and in good working order. Like he does. So save yourself a pile of $$$$ and a big headache, just hire him and get on his waiting list. You'll be glad you did.

We had a dam with an island on our family farm. There was a big log for a bridge and the island had some nice warratah trees on it. Trouble was that the poachers cut the saplings off to use for fishing rod holders and just for spite. As a kid I loved that island and it was a great fishing spot, especially when you were allowed to catch freshwater lobsters. I see your point about maintenance though for an island that is in view all the time. Ours was in the middle of 1000 acres and we have wallabies that are pretty good at mowing grass. They also do it for free, just try to stop them! 😀

Anyway, my jawing aside, another great vid. That soft quicksand ground is creepy and weird. Thanks, Chris. Keep up the good work.
