Watch the full episode 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk--69Vt-Qk On my desert property in Texas, there are numerous thirsty trees that need a reliable water source. Therefore, I have chosen an irrigation technique that can be implemented to save the trees. #Dustups #Homestead #irrigation

I want to dig 53,240 Dirt Bathtubs on my property to create a reliable water source for the local plants. Yes, it's an odd desert irrigation technique, but the plan seems solid... if the excavation equipment decides to cooperate. I can't thrive off grid in the desert without assuring a food supply. Grass gets turned into animal protein. More water - more grass - more animal protein. Trees will eventually follow the grass. To determine the effectiveness of my dirt bathtubs, we must patiently await the arrival of the upcoming monsoon season. There should be a large increase in greenery around the bathtubs later this summer. After getting frustrated, covered in dirt and sunburned, I learned a lot. It's always a blast learning new skills, especially when they're challenging! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 👉 The biggest constraint to building more dirt bathtubs is time and manpower. What if I could excavate the dirt bathtubs remotely with drones? Interested in this drone project?

Watch the full episode 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rVQlWoO3fA Observe the experiences and challenges faced by migrants as they traverse my property to cross the US/TX border, with some unfortunate ones not surviving the journey... #texas #westtexas #dustups #border #elpaso

My ranch sits in the most remote place in Texas, just 6 miles from the Mexican border and Rio Grande. Not surprisingly, there are migrants who cross my desert property. We see the struggle of migrants crossing the Texas border and talk about the problems, dangers and how they survive (or don't survive). I also show some of the reasons why they cross near Sierra Blanca. I hope the comment section won’t blow up into a political debate. Instead, I hope this video will spark your compassion. It’s about finding a way of serving your brothers in humanity. It’s about finding opportunities to serve where you can. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these (brothers and sisters of mine), you did for me.” ✝️ Matthew 25:40 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 👉 Support the channel and get yourself a pair of Old Rugged boots: https://boots.dustupsranch.com 👉 Buy Shaun a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dustups 👉 Watch the whole playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG0RCFGWPIVkxo7CSw9brTKtDuCeTdCSe - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 👉 In case you missed the previous episode, here’s a shortcut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc2w6kbjAd8 It’s about my experience of dealing with contractors in the attempt of bringing excavators to the site.

He's a combat infantry veteran that served in Iraq who loves the outdoors. I couldn't have gotten more lucky bringing Brandon into the project. Dragging him out to my ranch wasn't an obstacle. The adventure was half the reason for him saying yes. #westtexas #cheapland #texas #desert #excavator

Finding pros in the most isolated spot in Texas was... difficult. I did manage to drag some companies out to the property. They pointed out some major flaws in my idea. Big flaws = Big $$$ #texas #westtexas #dustups #isolatedspot #isolatedplace

Spending $45,500 for moving dirt with an excavator in the most isolated spot in Texas is crazy. Finding pros in one of he most isolated spots in Texas was... difficult. But it was time to learn from professionals and get some experience working with excavators. Yes, it's more expensive that way, but ultimately, time is the more precious commodity. I did manage to drag some companies out to the property in the middle of nowhere. They pointed out some major flaws in my idea.

Excavating water catchments on my own is a terrible idea. I know this for a fact because I've already tried!.

Is it possible to dig up 320 acres in the desert? My property is in the middle of nowhere and one of the most isolated spots in Texas. My plan is to terraform 320 acres to turn this remote place into a desert forest. But sometimes everything just goes wrong, and even something like a MINI excavator causes BIG problems. Will I be successful?
