- Welcome to Tick Creek Ranch. This channel
was created to show the daily ins and outs of
life on a small ranch. We are a family of eight,
our lifestyle has taken us from the deserts of
Idaho to the wilds of Alaska and back to the
lower 48. We followed our dreams and finally
settled in the Ozark's of Missouri. We have
owned and operated our own businesses. over
the years, ranging from carpentry and
excavation to commercial and residential landscape. The children and ourselves have
developed a passion for learning new skills
which include leather work, welding and
fabricating, carpentry, plumbing, electrical,
roofing, painting, equipment operation, timber
sawing, blacksmithing, horseshoeing, flatwork
and concrete, timber framing, cattle ranching,
horse training, and many more. Please follow
along on this journey as we build our new
home and delve into the ways of regenerative
ranching. So stick around and watch us create
our dream using old world construction
techniques and style reminiscent of an era
gone by. Thank you and enjoy the journey.

Living just south of you in Arkansas, I understand the need for a storm shelter. I'm old and in the "old days," all storm cellars were made of wood. Yours looks exceptionally well built. Hoping you will need your structure only as a root cellar.
We’re praying it just needs to keep food cool;) We hope it gives us a bit of service life. At least I know a guy who can build another if it fails miserably lol. Are you folks as dry as we are? Terrible drought here. Farmers are already feeding hay.
Thanks Vicki
@@tickcreekranch We have had some rain in my area due to severe thunderstorms. In my town last Sunday evening (June 25), we had straight line winds between 60-90 mph. Trees and power lines down everywhere. Initially, over 1000 homes were without power. Over 300 homes are still without power. People here have had a rough week.
@@vickiwood9192 we’re working towards being off grid completely, but that’s a couple years down the road still. I feel for those people with no ac in this intense heat. The cellar is a nice cool place when the power is out
@@tickcreekranchwhat's the temperature usually in the seller?
Amen❤
I LOVE to see men work. Not a rib. The joy you have working is infectious. If only I had muscles, I could move mountains :) LOVE a perfectionist and one who takes joy and pride in their God given talent. beautiful
We might not be the brightest, but we can build stuff lol. Thank you and hope you follow along 👍
I was thinking the same thing! It's nice to see men being men. Doing what it takes to care for and protect their family. Amazing build!
Excellent build. Only thing I could see was to add some type of small escape hatch in case the door got blocked in a tornado.
maybe a showel and axe? :)
That’s what I like about it the most. The way he built the entryway. It’s covered so at least the door won’t get blocked.
Or in case the people from irs show up for another handout
The door swings inward so you can always get past the door
We have a electric chainsaw and prybar in there just in case😁
You might consider reinforcing some of those shelves to serve double duty as bunks in case you need to sleep in there during a storm.
"Oh no it's not working. They're still stupid."
Lol. I'm a 50 tradesman who's had plenty of apprentices and raised kids. That tickled my funny bone. Solid build.
We bust some chops around here!😅
That is the fanciest, most well built root cellar I have ever seen!!
love how you teach them. this is how lessons stick, through self involved action. your "they're still stupid" comment was hilarious
We razz each other around here pretty good! Some people got their panties in a wad over that comment lol!
Well…..I normally watch these types of videos and fast forward. Once I saw that guy work that backhoe and saw that he knew what he was doing I just locked in and watched the whole thing. That was real good work on that cellar and ya'll obviously know what you're doing. Good job.
Nice work. I’d suggest backfilling the walls with clean rock if someone else is building similar. This helps reduce lateral loads on the walls and also keeps saturated soils away from the exterior wall surfaces. This should increase the structures service life.
Than k you for your comment. I’m in the process of designing my own.
Expanding clay deff ruined alot of places. Nice call
THIS my friends is what America is all about.
Yes sir!

BRAVO capable beautiful men! Very grateful there are men like you and your young men out there. Can't say I'm not a bit jelous😊 Your wife is a very lucky Lady, hopefully she is just as capable but in a supportive area of her own expertise. Well done, very impressed. Much Love beautiful family.💗👑
Thank you Victoria! We put a lot of emphasis on acquired skills around here. I’d say, one of my wife’s greatest skills is putting up with my, well…let’s just call them …eccentricities😁 Like good ole Red Green would say “If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy” lol
Awesome build, great carpentry skills, really appreciate the attention to details and not getting in too big a hurry.
Looks like an amazing build. You'd absolutely would benefit from adding a ventilation tube in the rear, with an intake at the front. Some vegetables will give off chemicals...gasses... That effect the others stored there.
Furthermore, it would assist in pressure changes as the storms come through the area, this can enable the structure to change internal pressures and not be as likely to get damaged.
Yes sir, somehow we didn’t show any of the ventilation in this vid. It has vents in the bottom of the door and a roof top turbine vent (that is too big btw:) We’ll put out a update video soon and I’ll be sure to include the ventilation this time👍
@@tickcreekranch definitely would love to see a update!
@@AddictOfLearning Yes! We need to!
Acetlyene or ethene - triple bonded carbon molecules - everyone knows about bananas emitting them and to keep em in a bag if u want to ripen quicker. I spent 2 years in college studying and then teaching organic chemistry and honest to god this is the first time in a year or two i actually have used that knowledge (knowingly). Did teach me how to think better, at the cost of me writing skills.
It is truly wonderful to watch good craftsmen at their trade! Well done.....
Thanks Steve
Sir, I really enjoyed this video seeing three generations working together is very inspiring. Don’t know if your shelter will last forever but I’m guessing it will last long enough. Great video!
It was a fun project and only time will tell about the longevity. We experiment with a lot of different stuff, this was one of those. There are wood cellars that still function that date back to the 1700s. Now do I think this will last as long, no. I’m sure they had environmental advantages over us and a better decay resistant species they utilized. On the flip side of the equation, we have modern membranes, drain tile, dehumidifiers and products we can apply to prevent insects and decay. It will be interesting to see if this is a viable option for some instead of masonry and it’s associated cost. This was less than 2k total considering we mill our own lumber. Thanks Chico
Those black marks on the wood is mold. You have to use bleach to get rid of it..
Truly impressive design and workmanship. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video
What a nice solid build. Well done men.
WOW🤩😍🤩You have built a work of art there, love it.
Looks solid! Loved the door latch.
Beautiful Build!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Cool build! thanks for sharing guys
Damn! That is EXCEPTIONAL!!! Incredible job fellas. Really impressive.
Another great video on the cellar/shelter.
Great job. Thanks for sharing this with me 😁👍😎
Beautiful workmanship.
Amazing job guys and what piece of mind to know you have a safe place when the weather gets bad. My area is well known for Tornados and even though I'm quite used to it nothing worse than trying to finding a safe spot when the weather gets bad.
That will be there forever. Great job!
I'm impressed. Good Job.
Super deluxe! Love it! The entry way - GREAT idea! A++ 👍
That’s so impressive. I wish I had family to build me one, really well done.
Awesome Build! Nice Carpentry work, I love the Dimensional lumber, That looks like it will weather any storm!
That’s a really nice build. I like the cedar that was a great touch. You guys and skills are impressive.
Great job! Enjoyed watching it!
That was a very nice build and the craftsmanship you an your crew have is epic.
Gorgeously bilt! ❤️👏👏👏 God bless you and yours, may you all be always safe and happy🙏😊🍀
Nice job! Very impressive! Hopefully, you'll never have to sit out a nasty storm, but if you do have to; you're prepared!
Nice craftsmanship!!!
I like the door, the doors bolt lock,
and locks door trim.
Wow that was very interesting and helpful. We’re planning on building a cellar next summer at my sister’s. She wasn’t sure about some of the specifics regarding moisture and water control. Thanks for sharing! Now I have a reference vid for her.
Beautiful joinery work ! impressive. Lot of commitment to quality work. Well done!
Absolutely awesome 👍
Looks amazing! A root cellar has been on my to do list for years, hopefully we'll get one put in at some point.
Great job guys ! Looks solid
Remarkable. Thank You.
I'd sure love to have one of these in my property. Both uses so valuable.
Beautiful build.
I’m amazed at your skills!
Stupendous build!
Great work, love to watch multi use imagination stand up and secure necessary efforts
Awesome plan, awesome vision! Stay safe!!
Very good presentation and craftmanship, stay safe during tornadoes and other natural disasters
I just happened onto this video and glad I did!!! Love watching craftsmen do their work. Very well made, beautiful, practical structure!! With the way the weather is now days, I hope you never have to use it as a storm shelter but I have no doubt you would be safe inside. Had to giggle with the "they're still stupid" comment!!! Anyone working with young adults completely understands!!! I'm sure they will grow into their smarts soon!!! LOL
Hey, welcome! Thanks for the visit. If the cellar lasts 10 years it will have served its purpose. Any more than that is just icing on the cake. As to the “words of encouragement” we rib each other around here pretty good. We don’t have “safe spaces” around here. It’s a….lets just call it a “non modern parenting technique”. lol
@@tickcreekranch Same with our family... we have a very "sarcastic" sense of humor--we're all First Responders--fire. police and EMS!! But our kids give back as good as they take! Keeps it fun!!!
So epic and beautiful!
Great job guys, very inspiring. As for me, I'm looking at such a structure for food passive conservation, I guess I can just copy your model with special attention to the air/humidity factor.
Damn, that's basically a bunker. Nice build!
Awesome build guys!
This is outstanding!
Looks Great... Well built cellar...
This was worth the watch for that door alone.
📍BONUS TIP: Diatomaceous Earth (DE) mixed with gravel and anywhere unwanted bugs might crawl makes for a great repellent.
📍 sand & DE mixture as a barrier between the soil and building can help keep the structure dry and prevent unwanted insect intrusions. Plastic sheeting (under-slab vapor retardant) along the soil contact wall, and fill the gap with the sand/DE mixture as the soil rises up. Alternatively, a plaster version of water, crushed limestone, & gypsum with the sand and DE as a thin plaster before surrounding with dirt.
📍 exterior hallway… surprised dry-fit stone wasn’t used (in whole or in part) until I saw the end.
Looks GREAT!
Great info thanks.
I was going to say that. Because you know there's all kinds of bugs in that dirt and you don't want them in your food.
Sweet! I'll take a closer look at this when I have time.
Great project - gave me some good ideas
That's a sweet build I have been wanting to build one maybe this will get me going on it
Really enjoyed watching the build and final product. Y’all made it look so easy.
Just good editing lol
Thanks for more detail, longer form with narration! You guys are awesome!!
And no distracting background music! 😊
I would want to keep a couple bottle jacks and a mega pry bar inside. It could help an escape.
Some fine carpentry work there brothers 👍
Thank you very interesting and informative
Very nice it’s cool to have your own will to make real 4x4 s etc
Nice build, Thanks for sharing !
No problem 👍
❤happy 2024 and many many more.
Mush love😊
This is amazing!! Great idea to combine a root cellar w/storm shelter. Can wait to see your continued progress on the homestead.
Many blessings to you and your family!!!
We’re going to be more consistent with our long videos from here on out. Thanks for following along Montana👍
Unbelievable! You blow away building channels I watch. 👍👍 I should hav married a carpenter. 😂
Lol! Thank you Grandma
That’s freaking outstanding.
Wonderful! I'm so jealous.
You guys are amazing! What a professional job! It’s gorgeous!
Thanks Deb!
Great job! I really like it!
Oh I bet this root cellar smells sooooo good! ❤ absolutely beautiful work!
Yes, it smells amazing in there with the cedar 👍
This vid just came up in my feed. You guys blew me away with your skills, and your equipment is to die for.
This is a definite subscribe.
Now to see more of your stuff. Stan S
Welcome! Thank you Stan!
Very impressive build. A root cellar is on my list of things to get accomplished. I gathered some good ideas from your video. Fine Craftsmanship that is in short supply these days.
Love the way you guys bust on each other. Reminds me of me and my dad
Thanks Rick! There’s definitely better building techniques for a root celler, but this is what we could afford, and it was readily available. Yeah, we bust chops around here pretty good. No safe spaces lol
Great job. Love it.
Very nicely done, I think you are good with this wood build underground as you said, no direct contact with the earth and moisture. You made it look so easy, the machinery was an obvious large help in that. Manage the moisture and the insects going forward and thanks for the video, well thought through design.
You did a heck of a job.
I mean amazing. Turned out beautiful.
Thanks Clint!
Great job!
Amazing work!
Fantastic, lots of inspiration for my own build in south bama'
Cedar is probably my favorite woof for anything going outdoors (or building like this). That's some beautiful material.
It'll help w/ rot & termites.
I love this video. Great build and you earned my subscription. Hugs from Esquimalt
Thank you!
Dope. Best Celler vid I've seen.
Thanks Danr
Love this as a family project!!!❤️
I need double the space...but got some great ideas from both the great family video and the connect ideas too! My three sons all learned and mastered the art of welding...so we will surely incorporate those skills into a larger design for us. THANKS FOR SHARING...AND GIVE EACH OTHER HUGE HUGS...YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB (and even better...seeing family generations work together is always a beautiful inspiration)!!!
Amen!!!!! And I would need more space too, just wider so an electric wheelchair can be brought in.
Amazing 👏
best one ive seen yet much love
That’s a great build video.
Hi, my husband and I recently purchased property in the Ozarks of Arkansas. Beautiful people and mountain views. Your cellar is fantastic. Thank you for sharing with us.
Howdy neighbor
Amazing!❤
I really enjoyed the pace of this video, moreover the craftmaship is just my style. Got an instant follow from me.
Thank you we sure appreciate it👍
Very nice build. Quality.
Thanks Carl
Good video,nice machine work,good milling to wow I’m impressed hopefully u put a future video of the cellular
We’ll put a update vid up soon👍 Thanks Fiore
Awesome work, reminds me of the old viking homes
Thank you so much to all the wonderful strong men in this world who do the hard work to take care of their families.
I have been thinking about building one for years, just like the one yall built for both reasons. Looks great. My farm is on a hill and a deep long grade with a lot of timber.
Sounds like a perfect spot.
Looks fantastic
