Nobody else on KZbin I'd rather watch, came for the cars stayed for the whole family and Derek's sense of humour, big love to the vice grip clan

[@lanalyons5206]

You're whole family is great! You and Jessica are teaching the boys so much. There's a lot of families who have no idea what they are doing .You two are doing it right❤

[@miamimo70]

You're on a UK TV channel, Road Worthy Rescues, you've made it world wide Derek, well done!

[@robertpluszczynski4383]

Always great to see a dad working cohesively with his young men in training. Keep up the Great work Derek and Jessica

[@damarapoledna3636]

Awesome seeing the kiddos handle the vehicles/ machinery 😁

[@carolegoodwin6161]

There was a law written many moons ago that states "as soon as you light a fire we will send the winds to push it away from where you want to burn"......It was great to see the whole family pitching in helping to get the place all gussied up. Looks like you and Jessica deserved a cold beverage after it was all done.

[@bodarville2510]

Is that the same law that causes bonfire smoke to follow me no matter where I am around the fire?!?!

[@bodarville2510]

@Vy:) Smokey is always trying to tail grab me!

[@hiscifi2986]

It's not so implausible, because the fire creates an updraught of hot air, so the air rushes in to fill the gap. We had the same effect when working in corn fields, all of a sudden a dust devil would take off, sucking winds in from 50 yards away. ( those were the days, before combine harvesters were invented..!)

Love seeing what a feller has going on around the homestead.

[@randyscott954]

Thank you so much Derek. I was feeling low. I lost my dad a couple years ago. Your old school. I respect that. We need more guys like you these days. Thank you 😊

[@daveclark4103]

Your boys work like we did as youngsters. Great to see. As a farm kid growing up in Wisconsin we always fought with the tree rows. In 5 years you get to do it again lol

[@ArKritz84]

More fire

[@SpyderGarage]

Some of my most favorite memories as a kid are helping my Dad (& Grandpa & Uncle) cut wood for the winter and hauling away the brush. It was exhausting and we would be out in the snowy woods all day, but it taught me the value of family and hard work. Thanks for that trip down memory lane. ☺️

[@br549rdr]

Absolutely loved that shot with the boys riding in the ramp truck with Jessica sitting in the back too 😇🙏🏻

[@mayhem035]

Your little humans worked hard! So nice to see them drive trucks and cars like when we where young! Loved that Derek!❤

[@michaelpommerening8043]

Seeing your youngest drive that ramp truck like he's done it eleventy billion times was right on. Love seeing videos from The Lodge. Keep 'em coming!

[@twinkie27271]

Amazing to see how they've grown right before our eyes! I remember when they couldn't see over the steering wheel or reach the pedals.

[@CS-oe8og]

You know I love you and Jessica, but I think the boys are the stars of today’s adventure! Each one of them looked like they worked their tail off for the family. Awesome show!

[@balcorn9211]

I love seeing the work you, Jessica, and the boys are doing on the old homestead. You gotta take advantage of that free labor before they're gone!

[@randywright7433]

Very calming and relaxing to see everyone working together...and not yelling at each other! T. Y.!

[@handydave4253]

Agreed, this would never succeed as a reality show, too much kindness, respect, and good morals.

[@oceanstaterccrawlers]

those boys are something else...precious moments,cheerish and hold on to them because they grow up as fast as your grass grows...love the channel you all rock keep up the great content ,god bless you all

Love the fact u spend so much time with ur boys and miss Jessica! Such a beautiful family! I try so hard to spend every min I can with my kids. When I was diagnosed with cancer I realized how precious it was to spend every min I could with the kids and grandkids. Life’s to short and even min matters!

That's my favorite Lee Sabre. The rescue with your boy, then all of the steps to resurrect her.... She's a power tour car, or one of the boy's first car. She deserves some fixing and onions....

So good to see all the family pitch in together and the boys are skilled at driving tractors and vehicles! Looks like the weather cooperated too!

[@paulym5814]

Great to see the little guys helping out dad. They’re doing great on the tractor.

[@neighborsjason]

Every time I burn a pile and it’s a hey calm day. Then ad soon as light it up. Boom the wind picks up. Never fails

[@KevinHuff23]

Derek you're so right about the wind picking up any time you start a burn pile, I can remember when I was a kid my Grandpa used to say it was proof that "God had a sense of humor" every time the wind picked up when we were burning.

[@jbrayda9]

It's incredible how you manage your time Derek. Kudos to you and your family!

[@seannichols5623]

Looks like a feller needs to do a dump truck revival.

[@ViceGripLodge]

Amen

[@charleswelch249]

I'm glad you are teaching the kids young how to be responsible drivers. We all were driving the 2ton grain trucks by 12 years old. Getting our drivers license was like a Sunday dinner. I'm guessing you have cleared almost 2 acres with everything in your video. Looking much better.

Derek & Jessica- your kids are living their best lives! It warms my heart to see all the opportunities they have driving vehicles and all sorts of equipment. Well done !

[@Dasquadwith6]

Coming from a Firefighter, it's huge that you're planning ahead and establishing a fire ring around your burn pile, instead of waiting for an oh sh*t moment, like a few others do. Your videos are always great, whether you're wrenching, or not. Thanks.

[@benkanobe7500]

So good! So American! Just fantastic to see you working with your Boys on the property. I did with my Dad and my kids now grown did with me. I think I remember those times working with Dad (I'm 66 now) more than I do vacations and such. Keep on keeping on!

These videos just make me smile Derek, thanks for the upload. The lads are getting big !!

[@tinygaragepowersports0122]

Well thanks to this video, a guy just took a gamble and ordered his Sunday lawn care plan. Been wondering what to do about my horrible looking lawn for a couple years now. Late to the party, but binge watching the property videos. Amazing progress! It's great what a couple days, some heavy equipment, and a quality family unit can accomplish. Good work!

[@thomaslemay8817]

That tire pressure sticker was referring to the spare tire that exists just above your belt and below your rib cage . I like your methods for clearing brush better than the one that my dad instructed me to use. First, he showed me how to file an edge onto the axe. Then he gave me a pair of old work gloves . Instructions; Cut down all that brush, dead trees, and junk bushes, drag it over to that patch of bare Granite, pile it up as high as you can . We will burn it when the snow flies . Then he went back to following the doctor's order, recovering from the burn injury that he got at work .

[@WreckedRevival]

Just the kinda wholesome content a guy needed while taking a lunch break! Just got done doing some trail/property clearing at a buddies house on Saturday and gotta say it's definitely one of my favorite activities for clearing the mind and staying in shape. 🤙
