Getting The Last Side Of The Pond Dug Out

Hello 👋🏼 I’m a retired lady in the UK and love watching your skills in ‘rearranging’ soil to create beautiful ponds and surroundings. Your mum must be super proud of you - I would be 🤩 I have 4 lovely sons I’m proud of 🤗 I call what you do Art with a Digger 😍

Picking up those mats with stretch is like a giraffe trying to pick up a dime. Well done Chris, I enjoy your videos.🦒🦒🦒

From hill side soils to silt in ponds to mud mountains on golf courses - always a use for dirt! Long reach certainly comes into its own on these type of projects - finish looks great

It was a muddy pond clean out but I love the fact it was your first pond and you expressed so much pride in the rock wall and the beauty of the Old Mill Pond. Thanks for showing us your memory. Merry Christmas to you Chris.

Dang I love that new long reach! You guys are kicking ass and taking names now for sure!! Great videos Chris. Jim.

Another quality video young man, I appreciate every video you put out there to the nether and beyond...We have no silt, topsoil runoff going into our landlocked 2900+ acre (depending on the rise from winters melt in spring) deep gorge lake. We are a high altitude thin ribbon body lake of water completely surrounded by 4100+ to 6200+ foot high split fingered foothill range, here in our neck of the wood Alaska! Our foothills have NO topsoil due to natural erosion. We had to blast through one of our foothills just so we could drain water to our other homesteaders, 6 decades ago and still provide water for our brave firefighters during any fire arising within 100 miles of us. All our soil for our planting came from our homesteader neighbors (and in-laws) for use of our PURE mountain water. Our water feeds 6 other 20+ acre man made "ponds" for their use. We are a 5th generation homestead with 3 generations below me, and we have built EVERYTHING ourselves, just like most other generational homesteads throughout the United States! I am 74 as will the wife be, here this coming Feb. Its always good to see the younger folk showing others what their life is like working on their own homesteads. This was why I started watching you a few years back (your 4th year I believe). It took me a bit to catch up on your past video's. Some were informative on situations we don't have up here, while others we see and deal with the same spirit you show! So bravo young man!

Just a quick thank you for all the entertainment you have given me this year and have a Merry Christmas and a hard-working New Year

Well, I guess I'm a hard core fan of Cris's channel since I got a notice that he'd posted a new episode in the middle of episode 1 season 3 of Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime and I immediately switched over. I'll watch the rest later after this one finishes.

Thank you for the update and all the great videos you put out this year Chris, and Merry Christmas to you sir.

Mats in some mud (not lots thankfully) and no thumb❓Amazing. It's all started looking a bit tidy now Chris.😀 Nice job and thanks for the ride.👍 Be well.😉

Looks like another fine (but cold) day at the golf course. Nice job of picking up the mats.

Nice work on the dredging looking much nicer than it did and good teamwork going on there but you and John do some really nice work on what ever you’re doing 👍 I always like watching till the finish of the shows 7:19pm from the North Country NY 😎🇺🇸

Another project looking good. You do well with the long reach! Thank u so much for video. Stay safe and warm. God's blessings!

Another great video Chris. I’m wondering if you would include in a video of you loading the long reach on the trailer for transport.

Chris has a lot of wisdom for someone so young.

Going to enjoy seeing the long reach on other dredging jobs. Merry Christmas !!

Rupturing a sewer line in a Golf course pond is a perfect set-up for a “Caddyshack” sequel!

I much prefer these dirt moving videos compared to the clearing, stumping and burning ones, but work is work and thanks for sharing it all.

You & John do such lovely work. I hope you will show it filled back up (not that you don't have other things on your plate). As I've watched you over the past 2 years (and have watched your old videos), I am amazed at your work ethic. Yeah, you don't work, you don't eat but that's true for all of us. I have only had the pleasure of seeing this in a few people: my dad, a coworker, and you. What I like so much is that you don't neglect yourself. You go have fun (even if it's playing with excavators in other states!🤣). Thanks for bringing us along for the ride, Chris. I hope you have a happy Christmas, a joyous New Year and 2023 brings you the happiness you want & deserve.

Looks like a beautiful day there,you mean no one playing golf,what’s it to cold,to hit a little white ball all over and go chasing after it .while you and John are working out there in this weather. Great video as always,y’all accomplished a lot on this day.keep doing what your doing and have a wonderful week ahead.😎😎😎👍👍👍
