The FPV PARK fail.

I was way to excited to get back out to the property so i ignored the weather and made the drive, however something happened i didnt plan for...

What’s the guys channel name that accused you of ripping everyone off? I had a guy literally start harassing me on every video I posted even when they were safe flights. Ended up reporting me to FAA. So sad how many middle aged losers there are on YT trying to ruin the hobby for everyone because they wasted their money on a 107

[@newtmcfly3637]

Haha Agreed! I can't stand that guy! him and his cronies act like they are the gods off FPV, where in fact one of them is the Indian dude that's been ripping off all the FPV stores with stolen credit cards and halting payments

Little florida off-road trick.....keep a couple big bags of kitty litter, dump it on the mud and it will harden and u can drive thru

[@Inertia888]

just in case someone gets the idea to use cement instead... don't. kitty litter is fine. cement will end up making giant chunks that you will inevitably crash into and ruin your car (unless you plan of making a whole drive way 🤪)

[@SadBirdMedia]

Dude you don't need to stress about a video man you are already a big hero for the community. Really love what you are doing even without a video you are a legend man.

[@835FPV]

As a Product Manager and ADHD-er, what you found is what has been a major life strategy for me. Break the whole thing into manageable chunks of work and just focus on one chunk at a time. I'm glad you're not discouraged after that experience. This park will be awesome!

[@webreakforsquirrel4201]

First thing I would do is build a base fort for chilling out and pulling rips. Make it a cool place to hide emergency medicine, hang drone posters and allow it to be painted with graffiti. If you ever find free furniture throw it in the van and take it to the fort.

[@youzrnaim]

Keep your head up man. I know the project is overwhelming. Bring a reciprocating saw with you and just cut all of the branches you can reach from the ground. This will help you clear the land and open up spaces for everything else you need. Good luck, friend.

[@knarftrakiul3881]

Panic attack? Take a few tokes of mother natures finest anxiety reliever 😅

[@STOLerant]

Dude you're such a good human. It's a big project and will be overwhelming but dammit dude - you got this. If you're in a storm, keep moving forward, and before you know it, the storm will be behind you. Onwards and upwards!

[@BOTGRINDER]

thank you homie.

[@shadowofchaos8932]

Anxiety is real. Glad you got support. Lay gravel on the road when you can afford it. You need a gator to haul and work around the land. Or any 4 wheeler. Maybe a beefy lawnmower.

[@michaelwhouse46]

That’s what I came here to say. Get some funds budgeted for some gravel for the entrance. We have an 1/8 mile drive that’s gravel. Its pricey but there’s mat that we laid down before the gravel. It’ll help keep the gravel up top and from disappearing into the mud. Keep your head up Bot. Unhappy people are always going to be Karen’s and Richards online.

[@cnmove]

Thanks you both grinder for being so relatable and just a fkn dope guy in general, you’ve made getting into fpv so much more enjoyable. Watching your videos while in the the sim or on a smoke break after a couple packs is the perfect combo.

[@BOTGRINDER]

ahh thank you homie.

[@ChainsawFPV]

First off, NOT a fail. Things take time. Generally people that donate money (99% any way) have no interest in helping. They threw money at the problem, and thats it from them. These things take time. Doing 1 area at a time is the ONLY way to do it without getting over whelmed. You are going to need some type of a skid steer, or mini excavator on the property at all times. Mainly for making roads, and moving material, but also for pulling out the random car. I would suggest like a week long "event" this summer. Come to the park, camp, and HELP do things. If you can get a dozen people there, a week of organized work would make that place very useable. You got this Bot!

[@TheAtticNinja]

Can’t tell you how many times I got my service van stuck on new construction sites back in the day. Those big vans don’t like the mud AT ALL.

[@BOTGRINDER]

Well lesson learned haha.

[@AE0NFPV]

HAHA, now you know how we feel in the UK! 💧🌧 Glad you got out there and got a pack in though! Don't forget to clear me a little tent spot for when I get over there one day 😁

[@Pouncer9000]

If you’re feeling overwhelmed do like Russian engineers say: fix the small problems first then the big ones don’t look so big anymore. The “smallest “ problem I once fixed was stitching to a more comfortable pair of socks. People underestimate comfy socks..

[@Inertia888]

New socks are more important to me than new shoes! I feel ya, bro!

Breaking down a large project into smaller, manageable tasks is the best way to ensure steady progress. By tackling each bit individually, you can clearly see your progress and stay motivated. Keep it up!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

This is a good starter. I think as things warm up it will get a lot better. It will be sweet once you do get your 107 and you won’t have to worry about those guys giving you a bunch of crap. Hope the FPV Park kicks ass for you!

[@SquidPope]

Nice! Seems like big progress to me. Taking big tasks and breaking them down into little ones is nice. I got unsolicited advice. Don't forget to write down all the stuff you have finished and keep it in a big list. That way when you feel stressed out you can look back on everything you have accomplished. I got that ADHD shit in spades and really felt what you said about being overwhelmed. I have lived that.

is that an adhd trait? a few folks have told me i may have it. also good call on the list thats a fantastic idea.

Use the skinny tall trees you take down to make a bridge over the mud. I've done that before and it's always worked for me.

[@aaron6516]

❤u2, hey be sure if you put gravel down have a good curb on the sides. The gravel spreads out over time. I think you need like a good 4 wheeled drive tractor, maybe start a new fundraiser? Can't wait to see more!!

[@Bubbles_Videography]

Rent a wood chipper to chop up all the branches you cleared and use it to make a driveway! Its not the best but the one thing you'll always have out there is fallen branches so you can always add more wood chips as they break down! Good luck!

Wish I would live across the big ocean or else I would pop over every other weekend and help out. Super cool project with so much potential!

[@Way_of_FPV_Samurai]

Me and my two buddies made a fpv park in 5 days, practically for free. We had 2 saws, an axe, a screwdriver and a couple of bottles of beer, not that we needed all this for flying, but in the end we did what we wanted. And now we fly there all the time. And sometimes we bring LED strips, power them from lion assemblies for LR and have fun with the lighting. The material was taken directly from the forest - dead wood, better free material for the fpv park. =)

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you walk a 1000 miles? On step at a time. Once you get started, it's just time after that.

[@Ren-blahblah]

You seem to have a great group of local people supporting you which is amazing! Perhaps you could nibble it out in phases which would enable you to bring in more help to accomplish more. You could figure out your spot for the campsites and prep that first. Then extend an invite for just a couple of simple fun camping weekends and the manpower to do more work on the park will arrive. Beers and grilling out after working is a great wind down to an accomplished day! Then you can branch out and accomplish projects as a group. Develop a focused plan of what you want to complete and knock em out one at a time with your camping manpower. I wish I was closer as I would be glad to bring tools and such to help. I love camping! Hell I'd do that every weekend if it was happening anywhere near me. Wish you the best of luck, and keep up the good fight Bot!

[@craig199]

I suggest fundraising for a cheap premade shed. Plop it down out of sight at the entrance and then also fundraise for a DR Brush Mower and that guy will speed up and cut a path to campsites (keep the DR mowers in the shed)

[@dustinwilson492]

We love you too Bot! You got this! I know this is a big step and a huge responsibility but just remember to lean on your viewers if you need anything bro. And I think you're completely on the right track with breaking it down into tangible goals. Maybe look into raising some money for a gravel truck to come out. And you can also manage the water by digging ditches for it to go around where you need to drive.

[@SpicyFPV]

Unless you have cleared out a wooded property before, its really difficult to really grasp just how much work it is. Hell it took about 6 of us around 8-12hrs to fully clear out about a 100ft x 100ft chunk in the woods for a pole barn, and a narrow-ish driveway to get machinery in. Can't imagine trying to do much with 10 acres by hand, that is going to take years. Hope you get a lot more help, and hopefully someone that can bring in some larger equipment to streamline the process. (fellers, skidders, stump grinders, graders, trailers, etc)

[@JSKCKNIT]

Not the best idea, but will work.... turn those downed trees into mulch and place that down til you get gravel. I need to load up my truck and come up one weekend if I can use my 4 wheeler to help move/ haul stuff.
