Snap Kap, that skid steer is the biggest game changer on the homestead bud. I cannot get over how much work you are getting done with that baby. Woods look really nice cleaned up👍
Nice action, Kap. You know...you haven't touched the Branson since the Bobcat moved in. The Branson is gonna give some payback 😊. Later down the road, maybe consider clearing an area (down to the dirt) around the perimeter of your stacked root ball trunks and burn it right there then use the ashes for your field. Man, that cleared-out area looks dang good, Kap. Nice work. Watched several portions of your video a couple times. Nice skid steer action.
Houndsman I was picturing that area cleared out like a park. Mrs. Kapper and grandkids would have a ball in it. Semi shelter for tons of deer to place and eat the grass. Snake free zone, well almost.😂
Kapper it was beautiful here today, finally got outside, sticks gone and burned, plenty of Vit D and fresh air. Day 7 after I stocked up with enough food for 4 months and a test at doctors then no one in or out of house. I started having breathing problems and terrible head aches. Finally use those Symbicort inhalers I keep buying and don’t use after hearing what my buddy that’s in law enforcement has to pay for them. Kept getting weaker, harder to breath and headaches got worse. Then fever the one time I checked was 102. Instead of using oxygen machine that goes to 10 liters, used Large M tanks on 15 liters that I struggled carrying into house well before lock down and put on ventilator and slept like 14 hours. Had to switch tanks several times. Woke up in pool of sweat so weak, went to bathroom, I not had fever since grade school. I was so tired and week, changed to another tank, as tired and weak as I was, I got right back in cold wet bed slept till that afternoon with ventilator and woke up, no fever, breathing fine on normal 7 liters, dehydrated and hungry. Drank lots of water, ate good, change sheets. I washed all bed cloths, sprayed everything with Lysol even the chains on ceiling fan on bed. No way was I going to leave and be tested. I sure did not want to go to hospital. Was lucky I had my own ventilator I sleep with to take CO off. They used mine at ICU instead of there’s at big hospital when I had pneumonia and kidneys had failed for awhile. I finally got out today and was sure nice to get sun and fresh air. I did wear mask, no one around, but lots of dust. It was scary being alone during the fever and headaches. Had to take a mild sleeping pill to relax. Today, my phone remote showed I had not opened big garage door for 21 days. I am used to being alone, but normally get out for errands or mail. I took no chances. Work mask and box of rubber gloves to post off put mail in plastic sack sprayed with Lysol and closed sack. I seen folks out going in Caseys like nothing going on close and no masks like normal. If they go thru it they take it more serious. No flu ever gave me high fever, On the lighter side, I sure glad your not cutting boards, that has lost my interest total. I sure you know what I talking about. Take care Joe and stay safe. Brett
Wow sounds like you had a good scare! Glad you made it out! Could have just been another one of the nasty virus' going around, but glad you had what you needed. Good to hear you got some fresh air! And yeah, no cutting logs here, lol.
That takes a lot of extra time. But I just ordered a new digital recorder with a mic so when I get it I will start using it in the cab, so hopefully, the audio will be greatly improved! Thanks
Kapper Outdoors Joe I undy with you ! I’m not complaining to you I just let you know sometimes you get forget it ! You always get busy around your home ! That’s why I love to watch your video! I would like meet you someday! Thanks brother 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻🦌🦌
Joe, those locust logs might be a little too large to handle, but those things will last forever-even in the ground. Would make some fantastic corner posts for someone doing (or redoing) a fence.
looking good Kapper, came home from work for a bathroom break and decided to watch a video, very well done, I enjoyed it. I have one question though. When is the bonfire and should I bring marshmallows?
I am still hauling yard trash from Hurricane Sally to the street for pickup,.....by hand. A local rental shop has a "grappler"; I assume it's a similar unit; could you do a video on the basics of using those Bobcats?
The Bobcat is certainly earning it's keep since you purchased it Joe keep up the good work, when is your next visit to your other place it must be lonely or can't you go because of virus?
I just had a thought; Maybe you could use those logs (especially the long ones) to border the driveway (one side or both) to direct washouts from damaging it? ;-)
Snap Kap, that skid steer is the biggest game changer on the homestead bud. I cannot get over how much work you are getting done with that baby. Woods look really nice cleaned up👍
yeah no doubt a game changer! Out works the tractor 10 fold. Have a good one. btw, MAYBE 20 to 1 fishing ration, but not 362 to 1 LMAO
You must appreciate all that open space to move around in right now. I got out in my back yard yesterday and it felt awesome. 😀💕👍
Yes all of our crazy visions over the last 12 years or so, and pushing to find some great land has paid off! Thanks, glad you got outside too!
Joe it looks like you are adapting and overcoming challenges that used to be more difficult in the past
no doubt about that. And the right machine really helps. thanks
The skid steer did an awesome job on the cleanup. And I guess you deserve a little praise too Kap!
lol, well, the machine is the real beast here!!
What a difference- looks great!
Great work Joe! Nice to clear out those small piles into a big one for burning!
thanks, yeah that skid steer makes quick work of it for sure. Take care
Awesome video!! Loved the lengthy bobcat video sir kapper👍🏻 great work and amazing property you have
Thank you I appreciate it. Might have to start making them longer, we'll see. Cheers
Looks nice now that you are almost done cleaning up.
For now, yes. Lots of 'to do' stuff on the list! :)
Like the grapple. Saves a lot on the back
hugely! That thing rocks! And sticks! LOL
Great video Joe!👍👍👍
Thanks man appreciate it
Another project ticked of your to do list 🤔👍👍
check! That skid steer is a beast.
DUDE SERIOUSLY?!?! I just got that song out of my head and you had to go and leave your radio on... lol
ha ha, sorry man! But hey, at least its a good tune!!! LOL

@@bretts1 I agree, Brett. Well as Kap always says, Living the good life "one acre at a time".....or something like that 😊. Have a fine week, Brett S.

A good burn pile at night is best 👌

@@kapperoutdoors 👍
Forgot close captions? Keep forget it lol ! Because I always watch ur program best show ! 👍🏻🦌🤝

That’s going to be a big fire
for sure, and I still need to add to it yet
Good video, Kapper
Thanks man
man Queen and Queens Rych Hell Yes!!!!
hoorah!! Heck yeah man, now that's how you jam!!! (I turn it up a bit when the camera is off, LOL)

Good call Clarkster!
looking good Kapper, came home from work for a bathroom break and decided to watch a video, very well done, I enjoyed it. I have one question though. When is the bonfire and should I bring marshmallows?
LOL, not sure when I'll burn, maybe wait til later in the year when the grass greens up. Yeah, marshmallows and chocolate!!! Thanks
i put brush piles along the wood line for the rabbets ect.
Kapper kapper kapper 😁Napa mike
I am still hauling yard trash from Hurricane Sally to the street for pickup,.....by hand. A local rental shop has a "grappler"; I assume it's a similar unit; could you do a video on the basics of using those Bobcats?
Oh man, if you could rent one with a grapple, you could save a ton of back work!! Best of luck with the clean up and fallout!! Thanks.
What’s the next implement/accessory to clean the small sticks and branches to smooth out the land?
If I can't get them with the grapple then it is the old fashioned, 'hand picking!" LOL
The Bobcat is certainly earning it's keep since you purchased it Joe keep up the good work, when is your next visit to your other place it must be lonely or can't you go because of virus?
Yeah kind of staying close for awhile. But I hired a guy to bush hog it all, so that just got done. I'm ordering soybeans to plant too. Thanks
Do you have plans to cut down all those dead trees in the future to reduce fire hazard? 😀💕👍
Yes at some point, it is on the list for sure, thanks
I just had a thought; Maybe you could use those logs (especially the long ones) to border the driveway (one side or both) to direct washouts from damaging it? ;-)
Don't believe it would work. The water would go under and around. Water is very sneaky :) Thanks
Just wondering, how do you fuel all your machines? The atvs are gas, are the cats and tractor disiel ?.
We have a diesel tank. Gas is 5 gal jugs.
Joe were is the dumptruck at lol? stay safe
Good question, I'll be using it very soon!!!
How is that 72 inch tomahawk treating you? Is it beefy enough for large logs?
Oh yes, I believe it can handle anything it can grab on to!! Even though it is a tractor attachment it is pretty beefy. Thanks.
Its a work horse. 50 and rain here
For sure. Hope you dry up soon!
You really need to cut down the trees that are within 5-10' of the road on both sides to give yourself room to carry long stuff without the hassle.
Light er up 🙄
POOF!!!
