Time For a New Career? 

As a former LEO, who retired early to go to seminary and become a Pastor, I really appreciate this video (and all your videos) and admire what you and your family are accomplishing! At one point, I considered small farming like you are doing, but God had other plans and I am so very grateful for the path he chose for me! Now, my wife and I are caring for two of our youngest grandchildren two full days and nights so our son and daughter in law can build their home and life. I have 4 grown children and 8 wonderful grand kids who are all great citizens and who love the Lord. I see you doing the same and instilling the same virtues! Keep up the wonderful work! As a side note, my 3 year old grandson and I viewed the video where you cleared out the blocked culvert and ditch and he was enthralled! Thanks again, Daniel, and may you continue to be blessed!

My husband works.a full time jib as an aircraft mechanic. In 2002 he bought a new Bobcat 773. He has been doing side work with it since and stays busy. The machine has 7700 hours on it now and still works hard. We put 3 kids through college with the money it made. He said it is his therapy. :)

Hello, Daniel. I am about to retire after 50 years in law enforcement in Okmulgee County and really enjoy watching you and your lovely family. I have said that when I hang up my spurs I will not ride off into the sunset but into the sunrise looking for God’s next adventure for me. Having said that I think “morning star” is a good name for the baby Donkey. I pray God’s many blessings on your family and His protection on all of your lives.

Daniel, i quit school at the age of 17 and joined the Army spent 6yrs in. then i became a Deputy and then a State Police Officer. i then spent 2yrs selling Mobile homes. 30 yrs later retired as a Lt. with the Local Sheriff Office. Don't regret what i did.

We are thankful you made that career change too. We really enjoy what you share with us.

I think that Tree Reaper has to be my favorite implement of yours, hearing all those nasty Cedars getting shredded is just so satisfying to listen to 😊

WOW!! You must have a huge sense of satisfaction after clearing that field. It looks GREAT!!

I understand about getting out of law enforcment and not being content. God found a way for me to retire early and my life got way better.

We have owned an auto repair shop for the last 24 years & we have built this business to where it almost runs without my husband now so we bought a new Kubota excavator & my husband loves it I think as much as you love yours. Something about being out in the woods feeds his soul & we have 70 acres for him to play on. God blesses the men that have put in the hard work. Enjoy your journey!

I have to tell you Daniel. I'm just an old Grandma , but it sure looks like fun driving around cleaning the land with music blaring in my headphones. LOL

When I watch these types of videos of yours I always wonder. Have you ever taken out your phone with flying debris when you do the external shots! I love to watch them. My autistic son who's obsessive about lawn care equipment can't get enough of these videos.

Sadly, too many people have a fear! A fear of change and relying on themselves to make a living for them and their family. I greatly commend you for you following your side hustle and living your dream!!

Waving from East Texas! I was very thankful when you left State Police. Prayed for you every night for safety. I’m Ex-LEO. So is my Son. I’m so happy to be part of your RU-vid Family. How about TOFFEE for Baby’s name 🤗🥰.

I enjoy watching you clear land. Love the before and after.

I love watching your videos and I even have DJ’s do your best donkey shirt.

So many things you could do...raise beef, raise goats, sell donkeys, and you have all this land equipment. There's plenty you could do. I pray you keep this life and I pray your children end up living close to you and Deejay. Love your videos you keep us all inspired. 😊

You are really a go getter that's for sure. God bless you and your family We love you all and the animals. Love and prayers. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Live and work full time on a 900 acre ranch

This is a beautiful life. Hopefully you will share the second new baby with us on RU-vid soon.

Hello Daniel, I love watching your clearing video's The befor and afters are so awesome.And you are so happy working for yourself and that is how life should be!! And a little visit with the animals. Perfect way to end the video🤗🤗💞💞💙💙Thank you

Stay blessed arms family thank you for your videos ❤

I love watching heavy equipment. I love watching you demolish feared trees and clean up the pastures! I'm just a old lady that loves it. Been watching you since you were a trooper. Your so much happier now than you were then. God bless you and the family!

My sisters dog barks when an ant farts.

Great job Daniel! Love watching you work cleaning the Land❤

As a former Trooper, I fully understand. Thank you for putting in the correct words

Hi Daniel. I'm a grandma, retired & a city girl, but every time I see you mow the brush and trees down or DJ mow in her riding mower, it makes me want to do it, it looks like so much fun!! Hopefully it has an AC 😊. Hugs to all from San Antonio

God has blessed you sweet man. But you accepted those blessings. Proud of you and your gentle soul. Happy to follow your journey.

I saw you loading up and said to myself, "Uh-Oh, somebody's gonna mu@@der some cedar trees." 😂 I love watching you destroy those trees. Nice transformation. Night and day.

This is amazing. Can you imagine how the Pastor feels when he sees this. What a blessing.

When you secured Kelce in the stall, then did the narrative about obedience school...she was yipping in the background.. My 7 year-old GSP ILSA, reacted to that and ran around the house woofing. 😂

I used to mow lawn growing up. That has to be so satisfying to see what it looked like before and after. Even though it was work it is so good just to be outside with nature knowing what you are doing is helping nature.

Daniel that machine does a great job, makes everything look so much better, Thanks for sharing

I love watching you destroy those cedar trees and how much you enjoy playing with your implements 😀

What a difference it makes just cutting the field

Been watching when you were still a trooper. Lots of changes have happened. Good things. Yes, the Lord has blessed you Daniel. 👍❤ He knew you would be more beneficial behind a video camera than behind the wheel of trooper vehicle. Keep on Keeping on 😃

You've done so much for your family and your farm since you stopped being a trooper I know that it was hard but I see you more happy it's not as stressful then your job I could imagine I'm glad that you're at home with the family being productive and being happy at what you're doing I love you and your wife videos and all the excitement that it brings and always the good to have your son Houston on your videos and even Jacoby I watch them all and all those animals it's such a joy it brings me pleasure to watch you guys and a smile to my face God bless and thank you so much

I started following you when you were gardening and working as a trooper. I asked you if you knew my uncle who was law enforcement here in Ok. I have seen much growth in your whole family. From Crazy Eyes to cutting Huston's curls, to today. God has been working in your family.

Do you happy to know of a very old pastor from down in Arkansas when he was a young man going from place to place starting new churches. Whatever the weather he traveled starting a new church. Called freewill baptist. I was married in 1963 in a freewill church started by Pastor Herbert Lewis. His son was the Deacon and all the children went to church. Thats where i met my husband. ❤ Grandpa Lewis went back to Arkansas where his kids lived and pasted away. He visited us one day and after dinner he went outside and walked and talked to Lord God. I enjoyed my time with him. I ,m 77 yrs old now and i,m still Christian. Love watching all your videos. 😊

This is why I'm a truck driver in the construction industry. I enjoy driving truck, running equipment etc...I grew up on a farm, served in the Army and did a few odd jobs until I got my CDL

I left the West Aus Police after 10 years, took on an adult apprenticeship and never looked back even after 30 years. God blessed choice by yourself and family.

I really love watching you use that mulcher, I can almost smell the weeds and trees you are cutting, Love watching all your videos

Wow great job. Always listen to what God wants for your life. It’s not always easy but He always knows what’s best for you!! Blessings from Rhode Island

Damn straight man. You now do what you want to do. Congrats

Daniel, following your work at the Homestead takes me back in my memories. I was born in 1955 and spent my early years on the family farm. Later, I returned to the farm in my dad's last years. I raised chickens and leased the land and irrigation rights to a bigger farm. Watching you and Dusty's return to land by being good stewards is my happy haaapppy place.

I had a pure bred dog that was just as hyper and active as Kelsey and I took her to obedience school. The trainer was very reputable and used around here. His work is sought after. It cost me a lot of money. He told me that my dog was the most hard headed dog he had EVER tried to train. All I wanted was the basics. Plus he told me that I had to daily work with her or she would forget her training. Even though he knew how she was he still charged me. I wish now he had told me that it might be best not to waste the money on trying to train her. Or at least wait until she was an adult dog to even try. But I guess it’s all about the $$$. And there’s three characters there for a reason.

Good evening Daniel from Pa. You have such a cute baby donkey 🫏 I hope you have a great night. God bless❤

U and family have a beautiful farm God has blessed

Kelcy is so adorable playing with a plastic bottle.😂

I always enjoy watching your videos keep them coming

I love your tree exploding videos and just land clearing. I’ve watched since Houston was little. I watched for a couple years before you started growing a beard that’s how I knew something was going on with the law enforcement job. I really look forward to AFH and do your best videos. I also love how much you have let your guard down since leaving your job as a state trooper. love watching Dj videos if nothing else just how you let your funny side show more. Your mostly business on your channel or maybe more focused on the video your making. Yall keep up the great videos. Also Bree and Brandon have different color noses it looks like but other than that look a lot alike

WOW has it been 4yrs that I have watched you. your family is a blessing to so many people.

WOW….what a major difference you’ve made with this property 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome job, Daniel👏🏻👏🏻

Prayers for health and safety! 🙏❤️🙏

Good on you encouraging others ! Love the donkeys and Bree is amazing now , you did a great job with her 🎉

I love what I do for a living, is it hard yes but at the end of the day I look at what I done and it always feels good. I work for parks and recreation in my town . I'm a seasonal employee with no benefits but it brings me so much joy.I meet some of the best people and we have become friends that I never would have met. So rewarding.

I agree with you on that career change. I was never meant to work for others. Loved getting out there and doing hands on transformations. I'm no stranger to sweat and hard work.

Fionas baby is adorable!! Blessings to you all💜🙏💜

You are touching a lot of lives with your honesty and kindness. So happy you found the happiness you and family deserve. :)

What a great job Daniel. The Pastor should be thrilled with his land when he sees it.👍👍. Love how you enjoy what your doing everyday since quitting being a state trouper and good luck to you and your family.🎉. Love how the donkeys are reacting with you now and hope the next baby is soon safely here. Take care and safe, look forward to seeing the next video.👍🙋🏡🙏🐾🐕🐕🐕🦙🐴🐴🐴🐐🐐🐐🐈🐈🎉

Wow you are amazing! Arms family homestead ROCK! AWESOME FAMILY. Congratulations on your daughters prom, she looked so beautiful. You just amaze me. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIVES WITH US!

Daniel, you are an amazing example of a great man Your family is very lucky to have your energy to work and provide for them. Amazing job on that property

Unbelievable the difference that machine makes. I’d never heard of anything like it until watching your show.

Wow!! what a difference!!

Great video Daniel,love all the animals and you clearing the land.God bless you all 🙏🏻❤🥰

Daniel & DeJay & Family - Thank you for sharing your Farm & Lives! I grew up in the City & so admire all of you! So interesting & enjoyable to ‘come along for the ride.’ Your property is Beautiful! I love the water & so many fun things you do! I love your ‘work ethic’ & you live your Christian life! God Bless 🙏🐾

Daniel, we are so blest to see your videos of your animals, fishing, and land clearing. It is so relaxing and peaceful to see nature! You and DJ have worked hard to get where you are and the Lord has blest you. Best wishes from Michigan.

Oh my gosh! That piece of machinery is amazing!

I was made redundant at 56 so went self employed as a Handyman, and loved it. Lockdown in the UK killed it 6 months before I retired. I just wish I had gone self employed earlier.

Oh my gosh, I have so much to catch up on! I have been out of pocket. I have to catch up on do your best also! I can’t believe how tame Bree is becoming. Wonderful to see you out there running the equipment you love to run.y’all take care and God bless!😊❤

Thanks for the ride in the skid steer.

So very cute! Baby donkey.. needs a fancy name… FANCIE … would look good on her! Love to watch the pups play..funny! Every time you are on that Hollander tractor, I’m in awe. That machine is well worth the money. What a transformation.

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm

I am thankful for all your videos

Thanks for sharing I was a 82nd soldier 3 years yet military does have issues 17 more in the national guard was enough. . State troopers are first ones to accidents have a wonderful day. Truth of GOD does have a bishop gino jennings

I do enjoy watching you clear a field, but if I watch too much, I get sleepy. I love all your toys, and i think it would be a great side job.

The change is amazing! Great job, Mr. Arms!!

Love the fact that you are "he him" and are happy doing work to help people. Keep the faith.

I was self-employed as a housecleaner and organizer for 41 years. I can't imagine working for someone else. Now I do clothing alterations and I love it. I make my own hours and work to get the job done. Love and blessings from Prescott AZ.

Looks great Daniel. You did good bub. You know Daniel, you can do anything you set your mind to because the word of God says,” All the works of your hands are blessed and everything you put your hand to shall prosper. When you’ve got the word behind you, it will work. You’re absolutely right! Aren’t you glad you listened to the Lotd. I have watched you and DJ and the kids for years and I love you guys without really knowing you and I love your videos! Everything you put out in the videos for us, I like. So I bless you and I pray you have a great weekend. Blessings from OKC.❤

This is so encouraging to us! We are just starting out & needed to hear this today. We are so thankful for the rain were getting here in southern Oklahoma. - Colton and Brook

Curious that the dog trainer said to wait til 6 months. For 40+ years we started training at 8 weeks. There's so much basic OB they will absorb. It's all play rewards, some treat baiting but mostly release to play, which is the best reward for a high energy dog, whatever the breed.

Wow that is so amazing! What a difference just a few hours make with Daniel and his tree reaper makes. Looks great Daniel! 👍👍

Love the baby donkey!! She's a beauty. I'm glad I got to know you on Utube. You are my favorite go-to utube channel.

Started my own homestead brother. Just 25 subscribers short of the first hundred. . I hope one day i will have my won farming land also. #hope

Hey Daniel seventy five dollars an hour is a fraction of what you could’ve gotten, and yes you’re a blessing to others because God is blessing your family. Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Blessings Arms Family..... Happy weekend.

I'm enjoying your variety video today. Open opinions & personal tidbits, you fishing trip, the animals, the career decision, enlightening.

The video of Kelcy and the bottle is a hoot and has my family rolling.

I like it anytime you are mowing . I can watch in any length of time.

Well hey, look at you Daniel. I'm just hedging a guess but I'd bet you were a faithful tithes when you were mowing lawns and growing produce as side hustles and you've been promoted to your current work that you enjoy. You guys don't talk about it but folks like me can see the Lord has blessed you all. I wish you well in the future ahead. No matter what the future brings God bless you and keep you all in His tender care. Best regards from beautiful but cold Wisconsin in mid April. 💖🇺🇲🙏💐

What a beautiful video. #Really enjoyed how enthusiastic you were over just some father and son time. I am finally getting all of my accounts together and thank you for the wonderful support that you and your extended family have given me Mr Daniel Arms! #MentalHealthMatters. ❤ supporting YOU ALL fully! #ArmsFamilyHomestead #DoYourBest #CrossTimbersBison #KeepingItDutch #KentuckyBallistics

You are awesome with your animals.You are a great person.I love watching you and your wife.And the things you do it just makes me happy😊

That property looks so good. Maybe someday when your bored, you could go with a riding mower to mow it again and really clean that plot! I hope your dogs don't choke on the golf ball, I had a dog get a rubber ball lodged in her throat. The outcome ended up ok, just a fast trip 10 miles to the Vet!

Daniel that Machine is The Goat, I luv it. I understand about a Career U Love, and U gave it the crime U gave it. So Did I and now I Work totally for myself, doing what I want and when. It is a Great Thing. Keep it Pushing and stay Humble.

Like watching you do the clearing of the land. And seeing you cry every time you take out a cedar tree. Sorry had to say that.

As a retired police, fire and EMS dispatcher, it was my career and i absolutely loved it...i realize how lucky i was and being retired is great also (no more working weekends, night shift, mandatory overtime, being on call, holidays to name a few) kudos to u and u are fun to watch and why i keep coming back

That is an amazing change to your friends property.

It's hard to believe it's been almost 4 yrs! Wow! ❤😊

What a great job Daniel you did on clearing that property ! Yeah it would be a nice 2nd income to do...... your good ! Baby donkey is looking great ! Kelsey is full of energy , she quick !

I got out of active duty Air Force, stayed in Reserves, went to work for Sheriff's Dept. as a road deputy. After 3 1/2 years went back in Air Force in Security Police and Retired. Fully retired now but always enjoyed your videos. God Bless.
