An idea for you to consider. the safety chains on your trailer connection would help reduce a possible problem of the hitch digging in to the pavement if you crossed them under the hitch
As an old farmer i remember the excitement of moving on to and building up a new place. It was the best time of my life. Now its over and i enjoy you young folk experiencing the same feeling of excitement i had. 😊 I dont think they actually read this. No heart 🥺😪
I think Maple is a good name. ❤❤❤ Yay to your breeding program being available again. Looking forward to all the cute babies in 9-12 months depending on when the girls get pregnant. ❤❤❤
You should always be prepared when you leave from the house bed you have your tools in your vehicle at all times a jack in case you have a bad tire, a tire kit to plug the hole in the tire if you have to add a small air compressor to fill your tire unless you have AAA and they’ll do it for you But always be prepared for the unexpected. I keep a first aid kit in my vehicle, a tire kit. I always keep emergency space blankets, and regular blankets in my vehicle in a box just in case you never know, and I also carry a couple emergency sleeping bags that you can throw in your glove box. They’re quite convenient always be prepared like a Boy Scout and a Girl Scout will tell you the same thing always❤❤❤
I’m a BIG proponent of trying to be prepared for all emergency. I would also recommend 2 more items Hi lift Jack Wood block with ramp angles to drive good wheel up on ramp so you can change flat tire David
Thank you for your service! I’m retired army so of course being prepared is instilled in me as well. It’s so true, that one time I forgot my go bag didn’t I break down?! Nope, lesson learned…😉✌🏼🫡
Someone suggested Fern as a name for the new gal. I like that name. Second would be Bella, as Grampa Doss just lost a pet pig named Bella, or Nala, a beloved dog his son Kyle ( K & S Get Out) just lost.
@@col2560 You'd be amazed at how handy toilet paper can be, and not just for the original / intended purpose. I save some "almost gone" rolls in zip-loc bags and stash them in my car.
Ginger sounds like a nice name for New Girl. I also miss Figaro. Have you checked at your old house? I've heard cats will meander long distances to their long term home. I also have a missing cat story. Our 'Midnight' was gone for 6 years. Strange story. He shared his time with the Neighbors who called him 'Tom'. They ended up moving to Texas with military. Of course they took 'Tom' a.k.a. 'Midnight' with them. Years later they were transfered again overseas & couldn't take the cat. They left 'Tom' with their Texas neighbors who also got transfered to the base near us. Their friends recommended the California duplex they had rented and it happened to be available. Shortly after they moved in 'Tom' / 'Midnight' sauntered across the street to our house. Mom came out an called him by his original name & of course he crawled right up in her arms & purred. The new neighbor came over and said, "excuse me you have my cat." Mom explained that she was the one that accidently broke the tip of his tail when he was a kitten & got it stuck in the door of the refrigerator. Over coffee she explained about the distinctive white Dimond on his throat, & how he got the nick in his right ear. The neighbor filled in his traveling itinerary. We shared Tom / Midnight with those neighbors another 2 years until they were transfered elsewhere again. Midnight stayed with us with no more adventures, that we know about.
When you hook up a trailer, you should cross the chains. If the trailer comes off the ball, the crossed chains form a cradle that keeps the tongue from dropping to the pavement.
Good morning! I saw someone suggest RUBY for the new girl on the farm. I vote for that name. I must confess when it comes to road trip my first concern is always the food we take, more than the tools. Lol. Who wants to starve while they are broken down on the side of the road waiting for AAA? 😏
I always throw in a small piece of plywood for the jack, just in case the ground is wet. Where I live, there are not many rocks. And having a flat tire never happens in a convenient place. 😊😉
Hi Al , Gina and Olivia. When traveling get your self a kit to plug a tire in case a nail shows up in any of your tires!! But it’s probably best to have a spare tire too! Just a suggestion when going on a long trip to get new animals!
(6:04) A Figaro sticker! Oh, man! I sure miss seeing that good, little fella. What a great friend and companion he was to y'all! Always wanted to spend time with you when you were working 'round the farms, always adventurous and brave, always friendly, and, of course, always handsome! He was absolutely my favoritest li'l web-cat ever! I would say "RIP Figaro," but I don't think it was ever officially confirmed that he is deceased (however probable that may well be, considering the circumstances), just "missing," and he certainly lives on in your hearts and minds, in your old videos, and, I am sure, many people's hearts, like mine, so I'll just say, farewell, friend Figaro! You are well missed! I sure hope you will make the Figaro stickers part of your merch!
very mellow indeed as Gina says. The past contact between three of them a great thing to settling in. now time to make friends with Country for your family.
I think Fern. You have a field of ferns. Which is beautiful. She is like the book where the red fern grows. Been watching several years. Continue forward. 🙏
Your packing plans are spot on. Definitely going prepared for worse case scenarios. Especially with trucks and trailers a big jack is a must! A good Synthetic snatch rope would be handy.
I always put my heavy toolboxes and other heavy items at the cab end of the truck bed. I found out that when you make a sudden stop that everything slides forward with force and ruin your day.
I have not forgotten Figaro. I have your T-shirt with Figaro on the front of it and every time I wear it I wonder if he’ll come home I just keep praying that she’s at somebody’s house relaxing and maybe someday he’ll come home😮😮😮
I keep all tools and road prep items under the back seat. Pretty much the same tools you bring. I don’t take an extra jack or impact driver as the ones that came with my truck suffices. I also have a paper road atlas in case something happens with the gps. Extra tie downs and bungees and of course personal safety item like a pew pew.
Yell, I carried a good supply of tools in my truck. They stayed in the truck, l had other tools in my shop and another set of tools at my job. The tools in my truck cost $3700. That’s what the insurance company paid to replace what was stolen. That was the only time I had any trouble carrying tools.
Suggestion; look for the old used round big street sweeper brush ( one that goes across the front of the machine), put it vertical on a sturdy pole, the the cows, and bull can scratch/ brush themselves.
I'm an ole Girl scout too, 7 years, we are always prepared! Good to see you are too! Were you a Boy Scout?. I was our local Boy scout assistant leader, we didn't have any available men who could donate their time. Man let me tell you, those little boys wore me out! But it was loads of fun!!
In a job I had in the past, They carried extra tools parts in the cargo hold of the airliner... They called it a flyaway kit. Extra tires, brakes, etc. The mechanics had their tools too.
Highland Bulls are no joke Al, their horns are powerful and they can put on some serious weight and become big heavy animals. Get yourself a decent crush, that has ease of movement for the bull's horns, and allows for side access. So that you or a vet can work on the bull without fear of being injured. I am not sure DIY is the way to go for a Highland Bull. Take care D
Your right Al, things can happen when your traveling in your vehicle. I even take an extra fan belt just in case I run over a critter out on the road and the carcass some how gets up into the engine compartment and destroys the belt or belts. Carrying an extra qt. of oil is another precaution I take also. I know most people don't think about this one, but putting a can of fix-a-flat or a tire plug system can help too! :)
So many good names have been suggested so far. I looked at her again at the end of the video and thought of Curly Sue. You will have a hard time choosing, but that is a good problem. 🐂🥰🙋🏽♀️
Al are you going to start putting up permanent fence. We nevertheless don’t name our food. But now at 72 I’m okay with it. I’m thinking about veggie names Tomato, Sweet Corn, Asparagus, and trees. Maple, Oaks have several varieties. Just a idea 💡
I'll NEVER forget the time I took my new truck on a trip to Cape Cod. I was going to trailer my horse down with me but at the last minute change my mind as there was a heat wave. Thank God I listened to my gut. Driving through Boston the truck just STOPPED. That was my first experience with Vaper Lock. .. the good old days. As stressed as I was I was so grateful I did NOT have any livestock in tow. I totally agree.. when trailoring animals you can't have enough tools, jacks, tires.. etc. Safety first. Hope for the best.. plan for the worst. 🙏 👍
I’m glad that you’ve replaced your bull. The loss of which in previous cost you two much in care, love and frustration of plans. I’m very happy for your new bull. God bless your lives at Lumnah Acres
Having worked in emergency roadside it is wise to be prepared especially when travelling with a trailer and livestock. It would shock you how many people have no idea what kind of car they have or if they even have a spare tire.
I always take tools and a spare or two just like you do. After being in the towing business for years I’ve seen it all. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best!!!
That is awesome you were able to get another Bull ! And I think a good name for the new girl could may be ( Country's) Rose 😊. But what ever you end up naming her I am sure will be a wonderful name . I love watching your channel.... I never miss an episode.
Good morning friends at Lumnah. Yes you are right to have what you need on a road trip that's way I would do . I hope all goes well in being safe . God bless you all.
I've carried a tool box in my vehicle since I started driving. That was 56 years ago. Better safe than sorry. A couple of different adjustable wrenches were my SAE/Metric set.
