Exploring & Brush Cutting our NEW Property!

We've had this property for awhile now, but ya'll haven't seen it yet. We're going to try a new setup to try and navigate the hillsides, and cut out what we can - and then of course we'll go explore it!

A full exploration would be great. I'm interested to know if there are any old buildings, cars, etc. out there.

[@elliotazus6258]

Derek, actually Jessica great find! Yes definitely we wana see more! You probably did, but always bring a chainsaw with you, ya never know if you'll need it. Loving dad, you are always thinking about your boys! As always, God bless and take care from your long-time California subscriber.

[@davidpenwell7418]

I say him and the boys should go explore the property

[@strychnine5348]

Criminal?

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Probably nothing, he would of likely gone there first.

[@dudes455]

Agreed!

[@matthewbrough1800]

Never in a million years would I believe I would be sitting watching a feller mow tall grass.... but here I am... loving every minute of it!

[@Afellarcouldprobablyfixit]

Just don’t tell my wife, I coulda been mowin my own tall grass 😂

[@kenweiss8565]

Right there with you..... But I lvoe it.

[@victorsamora6859]

How funny we don't want do are own grass but we will watch someone else's lmao. But dude that Lil pull behind is kick A now I want one.

[@walter2990]

Too funny, but it's so true! If you have an older mowing machine like me, it always need to be worked on before I can use it again. With some slight complaints about having to work on it each time, you can get a little sympathy from the "Boss". Just a little advice from an Older Guy! Stay thirsty my friend!​@@Afellarcouldprobablyfixit

[@blakewolfinger7741]

I said the same thing! Then I found Connor Ward yt channel and been watching it every since!

Lets explore, your property is great. We really appreciate the opportunity to visually share it with you. Thanks.

[@CamillaRTL]

A full exploration would be awesome!!

[@sawyerwestern1662]

A full exploration would be awesome. I love seeing stuff like this

[@davidmitchell8725]

I think everyone wants to see a full exploration of this property. It’s nice to see all your hard work is paying off for you and the fam. Thanks for being the best creator on KZbin 👍

[@crcottre]

I want to see him drive that school bus out of there - lol

[@OBrienHotrods]

Never did I expect to sit here eating breakfast watching a video of a fellow mowing. And yet I did. Neat property!

[@buzzadams7876]

You could use a tracked, skid steer with a flail mower on the front. It would work great to open up that old road you found too.

[@cap1206]

Good time for a drone. Very useful for surveying properties, locating roads, checking for unwelcome visitors safely, and discovering the terrain, among many uses. 👍🏽

[@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz]

Was just going to say this. And it can give you a general sense of the "corners" of the property. You need to know where yours ends and someone else's begins.

[@Wayz5145]

@@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz Yep you don't want to wander into someone else domain.

[@rh1240]

A guy just sat here and watched a video of another guy clearing some land...and gosh darn I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't entertained. If it works and pays the bills, is it really a dumb idea? Nope! MORE please! Also, Derek, you're a fantastic human, a great family man, and a master at creating content. I don't know how you do it but please keep it up!

[@williamcook8743]

Agreed 👍

[@robinbutler9353]

Yes! Let's go exploreing.

I'd love to see more explorations of that property. An aerial view (without giving away your location to maintain privacy) would be awesome too.

[@user-cz3ey6hu2g]

Full exploration would be awesome. Love that you purchased the land with your boys in mind. Like to know the history of that land

[@johnmclaren7059]

Using a drone would be awesome for us to see the entire property also you’d be able to maybe find old buildings or foundations! Congratulations on your new property and looking forward to more VGG videos! 🇨🇦👍

[@zacharybrubaker6893]

Let's do it! A full blown exploration of the property would be awesome.

[@UkatzGaming]

Would love to see a full exploration of this property. Also it seems like a perfect place for a small cabin to be built in those woods.

[@michaelharry8341]

thats what I was thinking

[@Cameron2874]

Definitely would love to see a exploration/ journey adventure

[@Mojoriser]

I will gladly fly down from MI some weekend and take over the mowing. So satisfying 😊

[@hillustration]

You remind me of a neighbor of mine when I was a kid. My Dad had some issues and wasn't around a lot. But this fella looked out for me and let me watch him work on stuff and help out. He taught me a lot, but mostly he just made me feel like I could do stuff. The world needs guys like you to keep us going the right way. Keep it up.

[@michaelgraves5320]

Your comment hit me in the feels, Reminds me of the man who taught me how to fish, God bless men out there touching young men's lives.

[@hillustration]

@@michaelgraves5320 Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to post that.

Yeah , I had neighbors much like yours when I was a kid. I will never forget their kindness.

[@jimpetrasek9732]

How many acres is this property ?

[@Ada-zn3pw]

@@jimpetrasek9732 I was wondering the same. Must be quite a chunk of land by the looks of it.

😮 Yes, let's explore your vacant property . Beautiful country! This will be very exciting! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@jakerunning8517]

Awesome piece of property and new to you side by side. That trail reminds me of my dad's cabin in central MN. I'm glad you're taking the time to do this for yourself and your family. I'd definitely like to see more, like that rig back there. You're videos rock! Thank you VGG and family!

[@Tybansan]

Love this type of video! Would be awesome to see a longer video of you and the family exploring more of the land.

[@JB-JB-JB-JB]

ITS A MUST!!! We want a spinoff show called Pistolgrip Hunting Lodge! Turkey and deer harvesting with the kiddos! Make it happen.

[@ralphhayward5693]

This has all the promise of a full off grid getaway. Would love to see a hike through with all the family's reactions and an exploration of the old site

[@Rednerb64]

Nice to see different content from you Derek. Nearly 100k views in 5 hours of essentially a video of brush cutting pretty much confirms your ability to hook people with your personality and presentation. You could make a video about paint drying and it would be a winner.

[@DrStrangeSpock]

I love this content as reminds me of my work at grampa Powell's Ranch for decades! Keep it up! Old cars, construction and land management are great man.

[@brianscott9861]

Good for you, looking out for your family!👍

[@thedrumssayyes]

Would love to see the property in whole! Curious on the acreage. Seems like quite a bit. Also love that you're doing this for your kids. You guys are phenomenal parents!

Definitely more exploration with the boys is needed. Great parents you and Jessica are, thinking of your kids in this way.

[@rayashabranner3124]

You have come a long way from the little garage videos I watched years ago. What's great about watching you is your content keeps evolving and never disappoints.

I would be happy with a ladder duct taped camaro revival again!!! 😂

[@tlh22277]

Fantastic video, hope to see more. And leaving a legacy for your children is priceless! I know your children are very proud of their ma and pa!! May God continue to bless your beautiful family.

[@julesknight9504]

Derek, thanks for the property tour. Good for your family. Regards Jules.

[@fasrnur]

You and Jessica are fantastic parents Derek. For you to take care of your family in the manner you to by buying this land as a legacy for your child is so wonderful. We need more parents like you two. And a camping trip in the old school bus would be fun.

Derek, you are the hardest working man in KZbin. You're a one man force of nature.

[@pghilotti]

Heck yes! Full exploration would be too cool. Long time follower thinks you are truly rocking life. As a gear head, a business man, husband, father. What a wonderful role model you are, Derek. You provide a stark contrast to so much negativity in our world today. Thanks bunches, keep up the great work, and God bless you and your whole family.

[@paulpeterson7853]

Great property Derek! Based on the size of the tree growth, I'd say you were following a logging access cut. I hope to see more of this!

[@rynosraceroom66]

Hell yeah ! m glad someone like ya'll bought this beautful volunteer land . Awesome

[@chrissimes9445]

What an incredible piece of property!! It's beautiful. I'd love to see mowing the trails, the creek, hiking the steep parts.

I thought the shop lions tracks reminded me of every vehicle I get in. I only have 9 right at the house and 5 need some work, 3 need lots

I really enjoyed the brush hogging and exploration, it would be cool to see you go back and explore more. Thanks for all the great video Derick

[@devinroberts9157]

Looks like a great place for you and the boys and the wife to enjoy some hunting/riding. It’s really nice to see someone fight for what they want and end up with a life they can say they built on their blood sweat and tears. I hope someday to be like you Derek. Awesome job sir.

[@geofffoley8233]

We bought 75 acres in Upstate New York and it has miles of trails and small logging roads on it that we need to repair and clean up. Some of the old logging roads are likely 50+ years old and in some spots the gravel/crusher is still visible. The exploration and discovery is so much fun. You and the fam will have memories for years to come.

[@nephrium]

You found a revival back there man, how cool!

Beautiful land ! I would love to see an exploration video, if you ever get the chance. Can't wait to see the creek you mentioned. Just be really careful, it's dangerous exploring alone, accidents happen before you realize it.

What a beautiful piece of property. I would really enjoy a full exploration of the place. Man, I can see the boys having some fun there doing all sorts of things like hunting, building forts,(do boys still do that)? and just being boys. I wonder what the stream or creek looks like. Thanks for the adventure Derek. It just brought back so many of my Huckleberry Finn kid days.

[@rayedbinaslam]

A full Exploration for sure 🙌🏻 That’s the only way that fellers and fellets would ever know how to deal with this kind pf property and how to maintain it completely and correctly. We appreciate what you and your family do ❤️ Keep em’ coming ❤️

[@richienotsorich4303]

Definitely would be great to see the whole family working that land. Derek has got to be the father of the year for the past 15 years running! Everything he does for the family, is wholesome and for the future success of the boys. He's a great admirable man.

[@chrissimmons8948]

My parents bought 80 acres in Liberty Tennessee and while exploring we’ve come across some shady things. Learned real quick to “always be prepared”. Looks like a beautiful piece of property y’all have.

[@bodarville2510]

These days, there’s some that think they can use unused property to grow “stuff” or get rid of evidence etc. probably a very good idea to clear it out. I’d say Derek has something on his hip to take care of surprises!

Def got to do more exploration ! Running the property lines w/swisher in prep for some kind of boundary ID (paint on trees is what we did) would be terrific!! Thanks for the excellent bid. Def more like these!!

This was awesome yes for sure go exploring with us

[@BFT88]

A lot of folks use those hydraulic sidearm brush cutter tractors here in North Carolina too Derek. They also use them to trim tree branches growing too close to the side of our two lane roads. Also if you can get a cheap Ventrac mower from an auction you’d be in business. If you can’t find one of those for cheap fill the tires on your little tractor with beet juice so it’s not tippy. That’s all the advice I’ve got from one fella saving a few bucks to another.

[@duanelay9965]

Reminds me of clearing trails and fields on my property. I hunt and explore all the time on it. If you do not keep up with the maintenance of it, Mother Nature will try to take it back in just a few years. Love this show for what it is. The background actual life of a person. The actual life a person lives is in and of itself a full time job.

would love to see a full coverage. You're right about the road. My grand pa and great grand pa were teamsters and built the road I live on (family property) and it appears like the skid roads they made. Enjoyed the tour.
