You don't seem to let "set backs" get you flustered. Having a sense of humor always helps.

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

[@CaptainKleeman]

You as well

[@theresahowick2594]

You have the best attitude.

[@maxobara1496]

Lots of clearing for sure in those woods, never ends!! Nicely done and no cuts or bruises🤗👍🇺🇸

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks max

[@andarthome142]

It's always fun to see how you put the little 755 to his limits 👍😊😎

[@topfuelrules4me]

That's why I love this channel, it let's me know I'm not the only one that has simple projects go way out to left field! The struggle is real! Have a great day!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely! I get tired of the "everything went to plan" channels. Life never works out that way

[@buddyreed2623]

Hi Mike. The decahedron does exist because you used it! If you have a Harber Freight near you, they have some cheap batteries. They don't last long but sometimes they are free. Knowing how to use your resources is a good way to fund your projects. Have good days!

[@kipcudd7253]

Looks like the pond is holding water, looks good! Good job Capt Bunyan on the tree!

Thanks kip!

[@williammatthews2948]

After seeing that strap I can say with confidence Captain Kleeman is a man that gets his money's worth out of everything he owns. Lol.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@valdo345jr]

There is four feet of strap here. Four feet is WAY too handy a length to throw away...

[@deanbarr5740]

Super impressed with your J.D. 755. A real power house.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Great tractor

[@Bman2020]

Thanks!

[@claudethomas8084]

I like how your down to earth like most people and show things how it is. Keep up the great the work, you will have a real beautiful place once you get it all done. ( But are we ever done😁) 👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

Never done! Lol

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Great video! Some times, you just don't know about trees! Last year I took down a leaning tree in the state park. It was leaning at a 45 degree angle. Dropping it on the lean was an excellent option, so that's what I proceeded to do. There were no vines on the tree and the canopy was clear. The tree fell 90 degrees from the direction of the planned cut. There was simply NO explanation of Why? When cutting trees down - you've got to have your head on a swivel! Thanks, Mike! Lee

[@CaptainKleeman]

They can definitely be unpredictable

[@corycourneyea6802]

There is nothing like the sound of cracking of trees coming down.

[@CaptainKleeman]

I'm 68 and you inspire me! I always worked 2 or more jobs had kidney failure at 65 and get dialysis 3 times a week.and after watching you it forces me to go outside and do all the neglected projects that are sitting idle. A salute to you Captain! BTW when can we buy T-shirts! Another awesome video!

[@CaptainKleeman]

T shirts coming soon!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n I had my heart set on a little log arching! I just knew it as gonna see some action. But, like a lot of other things in life… Sometimes a guys minimum expectations aren’t met. Nstead he is treated to a whole ‘nuther surprise… to his delight! Thanx Cap’n!

Captain Kleeman has a saw cut a tree that would not fall, when he seen what he had done grabbed an axe to knock it down. Sing that with the Liz Borden theme.

Thanks mike

[@dannyhutcheson9932]

Great video Mike, suggestion, build a separate frame with casters that you can lift the implements box off of and take outside with you, less danger of breaking them off and/or having them full of sand, dirt, vines ect... Keep up the good work, some day your grandchildren will wonder how you accomplished so much.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Good idea Danny

[@davidfisher69]

The one thing I learned from making mistakes is that if I don't make mistakes I don't learn, so keep learning there bud.

Thanks Captain for a nice end to my Sunday night KZbin watching. That wood is prized for cue sticks, golf clubs, top of the line furniture and cabinetry, flooring, watercraft furnishings and other uses. It's amazing how much you seem to get done by yourself. I do hope you're able to get back to the Yacht cabin build soon.

Not sure if you'd want to do this, but whenever you mention the family activities like kayaking, I'd love to see a few snapshots after the closing. Maybe set up a camera on a tripod in time-lapse and choose a half dozen frames.

[@AllstarVentures]

Good stuff captain 👍🏼 handy tractor for sure

Thanks Joey

[@chrisbarr1359]

That empty tool box was hilarious. Good intentions anyway. I hope we can all take a few minutes this holiday weekend and think about how great this country is and how luck we are to be living here. Those who don't appreciate it don't realize how others live - image living in Ukraine!! Thanks for making our country even better Mike!!

you asked before were we come from well me Perth Western Australia and i enjoy the videos

[@hollandduck79]

hello from the Netherlands mike . good plan of you to use that pallet box for your chainsaw stuff and also those wheels. only I would not put those wheels on the pallet box itself , but make a frame for it under which the wheels are mounted . if you put that pallet box somewhere else than in your shed, at least it can't roll away. and if you keep putting those wheels in the ground and sand they will soon stop working. and you can also use a loose frame in your shed for other things to set up and drive around. like your mowing deck for example . thanks for the video Captain 👨‍🚒 Sincerely, Hollandduck
