When you are bitten by fire ants, make some mud and smear it on your bites. The bumps do not blister, the redness goes away, and no more scars. I learned this accidentally when I was planting in my garden. I dug holes for the already established plants, filled the holes with water, and started placing the plants in each hole. Fire ants were running everywhere and bit both of my hands. I dipped my hands in the water and dirt (mud) to get rid of the ants which did not work. I finally slapped them off. I never broke out! I have used this many times and it works every time. I didn’t place mud on one lone bite and it was itchy and blistered. I even used it on my granddaughter and it worked on her as well. I know this sounds crazy, but it works.

White vinegar works wonders. Florida Native here and white vinegar stops the itching and scratching and they don’t blister. Also great for jellyfish stings! I’ve learned the hard way a time or two or ten.

Thank you so much. I have experienced them in small doses which is bad enough BUT recently I stepped on a mound I didn’t see, and holy coooowww! I couldn’t get my flip flops off fast enough. Even beating them off my feet sent them running up my hands, wrists and arms. I now know what Hades feels like, lol. And the itching afterwards is almost worse. Seriously, thank you for anything that helps.

Doug please use antiseptic mouthwash like Listerine. It can even be the cheap Dollare tree knock off. It helps with the pustules from the ants. It stops the itching too. Cuts down on the scarring because you are not scratching at this and cut the infection from the ant heads under the skin.

Doug was quite the lumberjack. According to his measurements the diameter of the tree would have been around 3 feet. Like a David against a Goliath he was able to take it down with the small chain saw. A very satisfying tree drop 😊 Thanks for bringing us along.

That's a 3ft diameter tree! I only know this because I once chopped down a similiar sized tree with an axe. It took a while lol. Some wedge blocks and a sledgehammer helps the process along nicely. Nice drop either way.
@lindaroyal8161
@lindaroyal8161 11 часов назад
Pretty good sized tree! Better to deal with it now before any storms/hurricanes come through and make the decision for you. At least you put it down where you wanted it. Shouldn't you be wearing protection eye gear? YES, Yes you should be.

Doug, I wondered why you didn't use a few wood wedges to force the tree to fall quicker? You did a pretty good job taking that huge tree down with your battery powered chain saw. I can't believe you stood near a fire ant nest and cut that tree down. You are braver than me and definitely have a higher pain tolerance. lol Phil

Hi Doug and Eevee, whenever I see a tree been cut I get nervous. I thank God everyone is safe. I had a thought. If you have no plans for the tree. You can push it with the machine you have or rent a bigger one to push the tree to touch the other side of the pond to make it into a bridge. Just a thought. Take care and give a huge hug to the children for me. Thank you.

Or do you just say DOUG WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Yet again he does the unthinkable a tiny saw & one man cuts massive tree down. I really enjoyed watching & hearing this tree fall. I guess I don’t get off the farm much & well I’m easily entertained at my age 62 lol. GOD BLESS from West Central Indiana Farmland

I don't know when this was filmed, but, wet the bites with water then sprinkle baking soda over the bites. The baking soda will soothe the stinging and dry up the pustules. This is also what I do for bee/wasp stings.

Be careful. Stand off to the side. Do not stand behind the second cut (not the wedge). When we had 19 dead ash trees cut from our front yard I saw a pro come very near death. The hinge let go and in under a second the base of the trunk shot backwards about 4-5 ft as the tree fell and missed a guy by not much more than a couple inches.

I don’t like standing dead trees, much less cutting them as they can be unpredictable. Just a question about the cut of that wedges, isn’t it upside down? When I cut my trees I had the slope cut from the underside. I used the wedge the other way but trees kicked back off the level surface, I learned the hard way. The dead trees seem to be able to remain standing with amazingly thin central uncut portion. I used a hammer wedges to try to get these moving but that was nerve wracking. Glad it’s you and not me cutting that thing. I was worrying about the camera being too close while those tree fibers were cracking, it’s on its way, slowly. Good to see it down. Now I can see an outdoor setting made from that trunk.
