Part 1: Watch me 80 ft log from the pond with the gator and a piece of para cord.

What happens here

The presenter introduces himself as Josh, the 'Stony Ridge Farmer,' and sets the scene for a 'live farm ridiculousness' event. He identifies a log floating in the middle of a pond that needs to be retrieved. He then introduces the initial tools for the task: a piece of paracord tied to a red sandbag, explaining it's designed for throwing lines up in trees. He briefly checks the length of the paracord.

Tools and materials

  • Paracord
  • Sandbag (red
  • weighted)

What they say

You're live. Hey guys, it's Josh Sty Ridge Farmer. This is going to be our first experience on a truly live farm ridiculousness. Okay, I today I've got a log out in the middle of the pond and I don't know if you can see it very well, but you're going to see in a minute. So hopefully we're going to retrieve this log with a piece of paracord and I got my cameraman Steve right here with me. He's shaking the camera. We're going to go over here. Come on, Steve. Let's show them what we're going to do. Uh, so we're going to take this paracord and we're tying it around one of these heavy sandbags right here. And this is a sandbag like you would use to throw a line up in a tree. And we used that earlier to throw a line up in a tree. So, let's see here. You already got one high. Guys, super chat's enabled on my channel. This is the first time I've ever used super chat. There's a button down there that says super chat. And I didn't know anything about it. As long as I'm live, you can click the super chat button and it gives me a tip. So, you can like choose a monetary tip on super chat. I have no idea how it works. How many people we got live on there, Steve? Three. Oh, 44. Okay, cool. So, this paracord is not long enough. It's good. We're going to go get some better paracord. I've got some more right here. 50. Folks, if you're going to buy paracord, don't be skimpy. For six bucks, this paracord sucks. Came off of, excuse me, for six bucks. This came from Lowe's, and it's not the best paracord. Okay, let's tie it together here. Now, the serious question we got to ask ourselves is, if I get this log to the edge of the pond and tie this paracord around the back of the gator, is the paracord tough enough to pull that log out? That's the question. So, I'm going to go over here. Hopefully, can everybody hear me? Okay. Anybody leave a super chat yet? A couple of them said hello. Hello, smiley face. Thanks for the smiley faces, guys. Yeah, your video is great. Good. All right, so we're going to try to toss this lasso it around the log without lassoing a dog. Now, Buddy's going to go after this. Buddy, come. Come, come, come. Come here. Lay down. Tracy says something's not working. Huh? Tracy said something's not working. All right, Tracy. All right, guys. So, we're going to lasso this log. Hopefully, I got enough without lassoing it. Dog. There it is. So, will it work?
