Handy-Capable
Добавлен 2 мар 2021
Hello, this channel is intended to inspire people who may be in my physical condition. I am a paraplegic. I can use my legs a little with crutches but not for very long distances. I just want to show people that just because you may be disabled you still can do a ton of things. You just have to put your mind to it. Some things may not be done the way others can do them but, don't let things hold you back. Every day that passes is a day you will never see again. I may try and do far more than I should, but that is far better than not trying at all. I do have another youtube channel as well (Maine North Woods Hunter) I started that channel about 2 years ago. I really enjoy hunting and being out in the woods. As I was making that channel I realized that I had a lot of opportunities to make other videos that may not pertain to hunting but they may still inspire people to see just how much I can do or at least try to do. God Bless!
Outlander CV-Boot Replacement
Hello friends and family. Thank you for watching another video of mine. After calling the dealership to see what they would charge me to put a $20 CV-Boot in my 2018 Can-Am Outlander 650 North Edition. I decided to try and do it myself. They estimated the price to be from $200-$300. Here is the video of me doing the work.

Hello everyone, thank you for watching another video of mine. This video is another project I had to do with regard to the rust on my truck. Here in Maine, our vehicles rust out pretty quickly. I had a Rhino spray-on liner on my arches so I did not see the rust till it had completely destroyed the metal. This is the video on how I replaced the metal on my truck. I am not a professional by any m...
Finishing the Camp flooring

Hello to all my friends and family. FINALLY, the video I have been waiting for LOL! I was finally able to get the camp flooring finished. Luckily I had my sister's boyfriend Greg come over for a few hours and help me with the last part of the flooring. I needed to get the generator running for that and use the table saw to rip some flooring. The timing could not have been better. We got the flo...

Hello to all of my friends and family. This was a fun trip I took with my brother, Nephew, and a couple of good friends. This was my first time in the Kayak this year and my very first time over any kind of rapids in a Kayak. I hope you all understand that I can not film going down the rapids. I have been using my iPhone 12 pro to film this adventure and even on the flat water when the wind blo...

Hello to you all. Thank you for watching another of my videos. In this video a great friend of mine has rented a camp on Schoodic Lake Maine, He invited Sam and I and the rest of my immediate family to come up and go fishing. I was a little leary at first because Samantha has never been in a boat, but we gave it a try. Sam took to riding in the boat very quickly and we were off catching Togue (...

Hello to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for watching another video of mine. This video is our first ATV trip of the season. We started from home in Sebec, Maine, and drove all the way to Lakeside restaurant in Dexter, Maine. The worst of the trail is the connector trail from Sebec to Dover-Foxcroft. That trail will definitely give you a workout. All of my filming was done on my iP...
2023 1st Week @ Camp
Просмотров 553Год назад
Hello friends and family. In this video, I am widening out the area to the right of the camp. I am making this area wider in preparation to get the shed moved to this area to free up room on the other side of the camp so I can get that high ground pushed back towards and past the outhouse. My brother also said he would show up on Friday and he and his son Jamison would stay the night and work o...
Rocker Installation with No Welding
Просмотров 199Год назад
Hello to all. Thank you so much for watching another video of mine. In this video, I am putting new rocker panels in my 2012 GMC Sierra extended cab. I had asked around to get quotes on how much someone would charge to put them in and I could not even come close to affording to do it. The panels were about $80 per panel. I had to buy a grinder and some cut-off wheels for it. I bought a pair of ...
Apex - Attak Handling - Fix

Hello to all. Thank you so much for watching another video of mine. With the sled series, I hope that this information helps anybody who may have a sled like mine. I have been contemplating getting a newer sled because of the handling. These Woody's Slim Jim Dooly's work great. There is almost no darting anymore. The sled handles much better. It only catches in very deep ruts. No sled will comp...
Maine 2023 Trail Ride (a Snowmobilers perspective)

Hello to everyone. Thank you for watching another video of mine. This is the longest snowmobiling trip we have gone on this year. We did not go as far as we had originally planned due to time constraints. The whole trip we still did 177 miles. The temperature that day was 7 degrees when we first got in the truck. By the time we unloaded in Dover-Foxcroft, it was 14 degrees. The whole day I do n...

Cabin Walls 1" by 6" rough cut pine
Wow, I've stayed there too as a kid. I remember the layout of the cabin and it's definitely the place. Been there since to fish. I love it out on Schoodic lake 😊
it certanily was a great spot. We were catchig trout right off the dock and went to troll by the sawdust pile to catch a few lake trout. It was a great time. Thank you so much for watching.
Iam from India,paraplagia,i also walking same as you,keep doing videos bro❤️
My MacBook Pro died on me so videos will be a while. Never quit my friend! God Bless
You are like me determined as hell…
Amen to that. Still way too much to do and not enough time to piss and moan about what you cant. God Bless!
Thanks for this! I too am in Maine I lost my left side due to a brain hemorrhage in 21. I ride my Sportsman one handed but prefer my UTV. I also run our tractors and excavators with one arm. the dozer requires to much leg strength for now but I will get there..
That is awesome! I wish I had some of that heavy equiptement up at camp. I have a ton of things I wish i could do with the property but being on disability not much $
@@handy-capable7705 I get it I am on SSDI also. It sucks, but I am determined to re-open my business as soon as I can.. Logging timber off our property (White Pine/320 acres)paid for all the equip...
Hey pitbull, I'm t4 myself I ride out of Brownville junction. Shoot I thought I was tough mowing my blades push mower. Good vid
One very important question is do you you JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?
Nice fish and a damn good dog you got
She has been a great pup. Thank you for watching!
✔️ Promo sm
Looks great, have been searching for a amine property to build a small cabin. Been a tough market
Great camera work. Nice ride with varying terrain.
Stop murdering our precious animals GD it!😢
Good luck brother happy Thanksgiving ❤✝️
Looks a lot better. And will last better than letting the rust stay there.
Amen to that. I do not have all the right tools to make it perfect and in Maine the rust will be back soon enough and the truck already has 150K plus on her. I will have to get another one eventually. Hopefully, this will make it last me a few more years without a truck payment god willing. Thanks again for watching.
Floor looks great. You might want to check on hest shield for your stove and doubled stove pipe . You might be able to get your stove closer to the wall.
I plan on putting slate tile up in the spring on that Platform and back wall. I may even set the stove on some pavers to absorb some heat as well and protect the bottom from heat there as well. We shall see. Thank you for watching.
It never ends at camp does it? Lol.
Nope! Thanks for watching
That’s a great video. There’s many reasons I like watching your stories, but let me give you two right up front #1 You’re not a poodle. Everyone who does camp or off grid videos always comes at you with high energy. Like they just drank 6 cups of coffee and four energy drinks. It’s too much. You just turn the camera on and talk to us like you were sending the clip home to your family. Makes me feel like I know you. #2 your honesty is wonderful. You talk about the price of things. And the truth about why you have not done the back porch yet. Everything cost money. And right now I don’t have it. I love it. #3 I know I said to, but I’ve got to throw this in. You inspire me. The first time I came across your story I saw you sitting on the ground cutting brush with a chainsaw. It blew my mind. And it’s not just that you have been disabled. You have chronic pain. Dang man. You make me glad to be alive. Glad to be an American and proud to be from Maine. Brightens my day every time you post a new video. Just like hearing from my favorite cousin. Enjoy your day., Cuz
Thank you so much. It is great to hear from you. I realize I am not all full of energy and all that. I am just being Me and if people want to watch then that is the best way. I will not have to try to be something I am not. I see it on RUclips everywhere. They tell you to be enthusiastic and energetic to get people drawn in. I just hope that my actual life may do that and encourage a few in the same situation. Thank you again. I am glad to hear that some people see through the non sense.
This is a large undertaking for anyone. Good job. The main objective is to get rid of the rust. You did that. This is why body shop work is costly when you have it done . Thanks for your video. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for the comment. I got an estimate from a friend who does body work. I needed rockers done and rear wheel arches. He quoted me $2800. There was no way I could afford it that. Hopefully what I did will last a couple years anyway. Thanks again for watching.
You should use regular bond, it will lay down smooth. Then use spot putty it will come smooth like glass. Body work is hard if you don’t have the right tools.keep doing it you’ll get it. Another great video .
The floor looks great. Thanks for sharing.
I am in good health, but getting older and you are an inspiration. I must say, when I feel down or sorry for myself with doubts of my capabilities or any time I face challenges I think of you and it gives me hope. You are amazing.
Hope you see this. I'm 55, male, outdoorsy, hunt, fish etc,....going thru some serious medical....neuro is working to find out what type of demyelating disease I have. Point is, My legs are starting to go, having a very hard time walking....a very very hard time....I gain a ton of information of what I'm facing by watching your videos....the cabin is great etc but watching you get shtuff did regardless gives me just a little hope I can adjust to being "handy capable"...You, my good sir, are an Ace among jokers. I appreciate you!
amen to that brother. One step at a time. One day at a time! @@custombuilder1
I need to get started on mine. I am way behind.
Excellent! The floor looks very nice. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🤝👏👏👏👏👏
Fire pit time
I want to make a fire pit out back but need to move the shed so I can have that high ground pushed the the back and I also before that need to drop a bunch more trees from the back before I can do that. Thank you so much for watching.
Looks great
Wow!!! It’s amazing. Beautiful absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤ my dream home
Thank you! Still got tons to do but it is getting there.
@@handy-capable7705 there will always be something to get done lol 😂 I did a resto-mod on a 1968 Ace Camper that was originally built in Alfred- easy Reno turned into a couple years haha
I’m not able to ride anymore due to a disability. This is the first channel/video that I’ve found that is actually able to capture the beauty of the little world in the woods. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see more! Be careful out there ❤
Thank you so much. I too am disabled and sadly know I do not film as much as I want to. It is very time consuming to get off the ATV set up a camera ahead of me , drive back down to go past the camera and then go back and get the camera. That is more of what I should do but most of the time I have to ride with others for safety reasons and nobody would want to waste that much time. I really could use someone who would film me or help but that is asking for a lot. I will do my best to do a little more. I do have another channel called ( Handy-Capable ) I really need to film that better as well because on that channel I try to show that a disabled person can still do plenty. Thank you again for watching. God bless!
@@handy-capable7705 I say stick a go-pro on your helmet and call it good! The POV is the best part! I didn’t realize you also had a disability until after leaving this comment and watching your other videos!! You’re so much like me! Tell me I can’t do something and I’ll figure out a way to get it done. You could be sitting in a chair watching tv all day but instead you’re out there grabbing life by the horns. Thank you for the reply and peek into your life! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I did have some difficulty doing the video trying to drive and hold the camera at the same time but I want to try to make it as realistic as possible. I appreciate you watching and commenting, Thank you!
Very nice camp cabin. Great work! Greetings from Texas.
Hello friend, so happy to see a video. Be careful not to get too hot!
Thank you for watching. My problem is I do not like to stop something once I start. Even though I should stop and eat and drink. I feel I can suffer and get it done sooner but with age comes wisdom and I now realize it’s far better to stop on my own before my body does it for me.
Good work.
I sure do love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching. I have to be honest, going down some of the rapids I was a little worried but I made it.
looks good. ill have to try that run. hope you made it to camp this summer? if not then i hope now that the cooler weather is close.
Be heading to camp again soon. Got the chimney in and now flooring has to go then hearth. It never ends

Your nephew is growing up, hopefully to become half the man his uncle and dad are.
Warning ⛔️ do not put foam in there. I thought I was pretty clever and did that. They will fail you in inspection. That is a big no-no. It is for bidden to use any spray foam on and inspected vehicle. They will make you take it out. I think you can imagine how fun that would be. Great job though,
Glad I found you!!! NE Fla here. I fell 38 ft to concrete in a construction accident in 1987...broke both legs in multiple places, ruined my hips and back....had just turned 19. So...I'll be 55 in a few months and brother, the arthritis is kicking in with a vengeance. I'm finding that walking is becoming a serious challenge most days....use a cane some days....work a few yours and rest an hour or so....disability gives me the run around.....so....anyways..glad I found you and look forward to more videos, especially how you get things done.
Keep up the good work looks amazing
My brace is sill good but the straps rotted off the guy that fitted me said if it ever breaks they would fix or replace it but I lost his business card I just use tape my ankle was broken in 4 places and my hip was broken badly they put a stein pin thru my knee underneath my knee to pull it out so I can walk but I need that brace keeps me from falling
I feel your pain, one tool can be a show stoper, let alone 2 tools. I like the look of the rough cut pine.
It’s amazing how there is silence at camp in winter. Only sound is the wind and maybe a raven. No noise pollution.
Cant wait to get back out there this spring. I have TONS to do. Thank you so much for watching.
It’s funny, I’ve watched your videos before. I remember seeing you clearing the land. So happy to see that you’re also a Manor. My camp is in Dover. Well, at least my travel trailer is. Hopefully I will build a camp very soon though.
Thank you so much for watching. I have my camp in Springfield. Got tons more work to do there this year.
Congratulations. I have a camp also in Central Maine. Any chance you could recommend the builders? Location, price of your build, and contact information?
Thanks for my first snowmobile ride. lol You're a hardy lot up there. I wouldn't venture outside in those temperatures. lol 167 miles (or so) is a quite long ride in a vehicle with heater, radio and comfortable seat, let alone riding like that. In the elements. Congratulations. Hope you had a great time. Were those all snowmobile trails? Are you allowed to ride on roads up there as well? Take care.
Some snowmobile trails do go on the sides of roads for a short distance and others are miles and miles of logging roads that they do not plow in the winter out in the awesome to see wilderness. Thank you so much for watching.
Commented before the end of the video about GoPro. Too bad it doesn’t get better video so you could ride easier and safer,
A GoPro camera with a helmet mount would make taking videos a lot easier and safer.
Congratulations on you and your brother riding out together. Snowmobiling is something I have never done as here in Ohio, it seems a limited sport because of the lack of snow, space and often time. Good luck in the future. Video making has surly a lot of challenges especially in the cold and while riding various vehicles. Thanks for all you share.
Get one off Amazon. KFI Products is our brand name of products that we primarily manufacture. We are family owned and have been in business since 1986. In 2002, we decided to start some of our own products and we engineered our first KFI ATV Winch Mount. Since the inception of our first ATV mount we have come a long way with our own KFI Products line.
The winch solinoid or contactor is in a bad place. Collecting water etc. contact points are corroded. Try to reroute a new one up higher away from the wheel area.
Doesn’t make much sense putting them there does it
@@handy-capable7705 no
Nice job. I've never ridden on a snowmobile and know absolutely nothing about them. I did think the drive belt would be wider though. When I see them being used on TV, they really use them and rely on them quite a bit. I am surprised how reliable they seem in the tremendously cold temperatures of Alaska and elsewhere. Thanks for the video. Happy to see you keep going too. :) Happy New Year to you.
