Sharon here! Am I seeing things? I have a massive cedar tree that I'm seeing an incredible one of a kind rustic yet gorgeous living room accent piece as a cedar toot ball torch lamp! I'm still in the middle of the project but wanted to give you a sneak peek at how it's going so far. Will this 300+ pound hunk of natural beauty make to the finish line? Hand peeled bark, hand sanding, flame flicker string lights and a concrete rustic base might just be what's needed. That and a whole bunch of imagination! Full video coming soon, be sure to subscribe to catch all the latest outdoor and rural living. Kapper Outdoors and Cedar Bluff Rustics making dreams a reality. #cedarlog #diylog #torchlamp

March 2022, and we've had some cold weather the last couple of weeks! Join us for another fun Kapper Outdoors farm vlog short episode as my 2 adult son's were in visiting from Oregon and Vermont, and as we were hanging out in the hot tub someone came up with the genius idea to do a Polar Plunge! aka frozen pond dive! So, the boys went first, and at first only one of them was brave enough to take the frozen plunge, but then I think some peer pressure kicked in and they both took the frozen pond plunge! Then of course they both were taunting me as if I were not brave enough to do it! Well, if you join us for the video you will see the outcome! LOL.

What's the worst that could happen? Join us for another country living Kapper vlog adventure from our 150 acre Southern Illinois farm. In today's episode, my 2 adult son's who were in town visiting did a 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate combo ride! They took out both of our Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northar machines! One is a 2019 Polaris Ranger Northstar and the other is my new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar Ultimate sunset red. We have 150 acres down here on our Southern Illinois farm. Join us for some fresh air, some scenery, trail riding and more as the boys use their imaginations on some unique GoPro camera video angles. Creek crossings, deep woods trails, field edge trails, and our mile long gravel driveway with a unique dual screen video. Fun stuff!

Yep, today we have some real goose eggs vs chicken eggs! Join me and my 2 sons at our Southern Illinois country living farm as we try yet another life experiment as we do a blind taste test of scrambled goose eggs vs chicken eggs. Special thanks to my oldest son, Jozsef for being the chef in this country living experiment! Recently I got a box full of domestic goose eggs from a buddy of mine to try out. He has not been brave enough yet to actually try them, as his mother has been raising them and the geese are way out-laying the chickens lately! So, I volunteered to try them out! In today's episode we'll do a blind taste test of the Goose eggs and chicken eggs. Stay tuned in the future for another test with sunny side up eggs, but for today we'll be doing a scrambled egg test comparison!

Food plot update series 2022; Today we are continuing on another new food plot clearing expansion from my buddy Phil's farm (aka Kapper Outdoors pro staffer:). In the last episode of the new land management and food plot series we finished the land clearing part with my bobcat e42 R series mini excavator and 2 tractors clearing the trees and stumps from this new future food plot location. In today's episode we will take out my bobcat T650 CTL skid steer with a 4 in 1 bucket grading the rough dirt, potholes, stump holes and wet spots in order to A) get a decent rough grade on the new food plot project, and B) fill in the large stump holes so that they will start to dry out much faster. My buddy Phil will be using my Bobcat skid steer and my tractor 4 in 1 bucket to tackle this land management project. All in all it was definitely another 'clearing land for food plot' project series success!

Wow! So proud of this incredible young lady in my life! Join us for a very cool Kapper Outdoors big bass fishing adventure as my daughter visits us on our Southern Illinois farm and fishes our 2 connected Kapper Outdoors ponds for some largemouth bass action. The first personal best big bass came right at dusk as she was hard at it bass fishing while me and her brothers were hanging out at the campfire having a couple of cold ones! That should show you right there that she is more serious than we are at big farm pond bass success! lol. Then the second personal best big bass came mid day the next day and I was able to capture the whole thing on video! For decades I have dreamed of this very weekend and it was incredibly satisfying seeing it all come through to fruition!

Do we have some new potential stars on the Kapper farm this weekend!? I do believe so! LOL. Join us for our first Kapper Outdoors vlog, aka Kapper family vlog #1. In today's fun outdoors episode, my 2 sons came to visit from Vermont and Oregon. The first day I spent with my oldest son, Jozsef, as we got the firepit and firewood set up, and we did a goose nesting platform repair to the damaged Reolink camera cable that the mother goose broke by pulling on it, thinking it was a piece of grass/nesting cover. Then we'll pick up my other son, Alan, from the Paducah, Kentucky airport, stop in a Paducah Shooters supply, and then when we return to our Kapper Outdoors farm, the boys will catch up on some much needed brother time together and do some exploring on our Southern Illinois farm, just like the old days when they were kids! Some Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate riding, some exploring, some bass fishing and more fun.

Yep, she found my credit card again! Last year some time I bought my first batter operated Milwaukee M18 fuel chainsaw. Since then we have used many times and both Sharon and I really enjoy using it and it's convenience and not having to deal with the 50 to 1 chainsaw fuel mix. It does need chain bar oil, but one fill up really lasts a long time. So, after Sharon always borrowing mine, I decided it was time she had one of her own! Kind of like how she was always using my Polaris Ranger Northstar! LOL.

What an awesome weekend vlog with Sharon at Kapper Outdoors! Join Sharon on our very unique Southern Illinois farm as she takes to the woods to do some more spring weekend land exploring on our 150 acre farm. There is a very old cabin that has long since been abandoned that she has had her eye on ever since she discovered it deep in the woods on our Southern Illinois Modern Homestead farm! Today she will take the 2019 Polaris Ranger Northstar, some tools, some water, and a positive attitude and do some exploring of the woods, uncover some animal evidence, big landscape stones, and a DIY rustic tin salvage operation to save all of the rustic and rusted tin from the roof of this very old cabin.

#shorts Stay tuned for several controlled burn projects coming at your from Southern Illinois!

Sweet! First time ever using a tilt bucket on my bobcat e42 mini excavator! Join me today for my trial run of my Mongo tilt bucket on bobcat e42 mini excavator as I work on fixing some major water erosion spots on our Southern Illinois farm gravel driveway. Special thanks to Jordan McClain, from Mongo attachments for building this awesome Mongo tilt bucket, as he builds them specific to each individual mini excavator brand and size. In my case, with my 2021 bobcat e42 R-2 series mini excavator he sent me a 44" Mongo tilt bucket that is specifically designed for my bobcat e42 R series mini excavator. It was very easy to attach and get up and running, and was very easy to use for my very first try at a Mongo tilt bucket (Or ANY mini excavator tilt bucket for that matter!). Join me as I tackle 2 major gravel driveway water erosion washouts with the mini excavator tilt bucket! Why didn't I buy this years ago!?

This video will give us all some hope for for spring and summer! Join us today for another one of a kind Kapper Outdoors vlog as we 'think spring,' from our last summer on our Kentucky farm! In today's episode we have finally 'officially' sold our Kentucky land investment farm! Let's take a random look back at last summer to give us some hope for this spring and summer! Oh, and of course since we sold this Kentucky land on our own without a realtor, we saved about $40,000 which paid for the new 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate crew, and left a few thousand left over to boot! Here is a link to the full playlist of our latest Kentucky land investment over the last 3 years. It is sad to see this farm go, as it is incredibly beautiful! If you'd like to see the ups and downs and all of the work we have put into this farm, check out the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT2Ba_-agZc&list=PLBsh6BAME40C212wJW_fBR8bpD6KkOGpI And here is the link to all of the Kentucky farmhouse rehab project videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ab6-NPgIE&list=PLBsh6BAME40A2x_5Ed7JWxJqdoUclNzv3 Thanks for joining us today, and as always please hit the like button and share this video if you got a laugh, learned something new or just enjoyed some vicarious fresh air with our team!

Steep creek bank crossings, washouts, rugged trails and more! Join us for today's trail riding adventure coming at you from West central Kentucky! Today is part 2 of a fun trail riding adventure with my 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar Ultimate machine, with 4 guys stacked in the buggy on some seriously steep terrain with lots of rain washouts along the way on this beautiful Kentucky farm! Oh, and just to get to this 200 acre farm we had to traverse probably a mile or more of very washed out and rugged gravel road through the deep woods. Of course we got one of the pickup trucks stuck before we even made it to our UTV drop off location! I had to save the 4wd pickup truck with my Polaris 4500 lb winch! Here is the video link to that off road recovery video in case you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMqKnkqFtFo In today's Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate trail riding adventure we will tackle all sorts of obstacles and of course get a few new scratches on my brand new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar Ultimate metallic red machine!

March 10, 2022 from private land in Kentucky! Join us for todays Part 1 of 2 Kentucky trail riding adventure on private lands as we take out my new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar Ultimate and we pile in 4 adults and one chocolate lab puppy dog and tour several hundred acres of private land that surround a 6 acre private lake! Oh, and talking about a small world, in 2019 I actually looked at one of these private parcels bordering this beautiful lake to see if we would purchase it!

First major test of my new 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate! Join us for a quick video of a recent vehicle recovery that we did by using the Polaris 4500 lb winch on a stuck 4wd pickup truck. This very remote gravel road was severely washed out after a recent gulley washer rain and in this particular spot it was right at a 90 degree bend, going up a steep slope on the back side of the turn. This is where it washed out and this gentleman bottomed out his truck in the gravel washout. Perfect time to test out the New Polaris Northstar Ultimate!

What a great road trip today! Since it is late, but we got so much cool video today I thought I'd give you a little pick me up for a mid week adventure. Today we had the complete Motley crew, complete with me, Curtis, Phil and his puppy Riddick! And we really gave my new Polaris Ranger Nothstar Ultimate a nice workout while assessing a property for land management updates. Stay tuned for this mini series as we really covered a lot of ground today and I think most of you will enjoy tagging along with us for the full length videos and fresh air from today's adventure! And yes, that was the Polaris Northstar winching out a stuck 4wd truck on a deep washout! Thanks for joining us I hope to see you soon on some future adventures and land management projects!

Overgrown pond dams look out!!! A quick update on some of the recent chess moves that we've made with regards to our equipment, more particularly my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator. First wed made this DIY polycarbonate 'forestry' windshield for the bobcat mini excavator, here is the link to that project: https://youtu.be/XV_ueXqFZBE I ordered this construction attachments heavy duty mini excavator brush cutter that is custom fit to the bobcat e42 mini excavator. Let's take a quick look at it and definitely stay tuned as I am very excited to put thing potent combination to work! Thanks for stopping by I hope to see you on some future equipment and land management videos! Kapper Outdoors, living the dream, one acre at a time.

Join us for another beautiful weekend Southern Illinois farm vlog, coming at you from our rural Southern Illinois farm. In today's episode me and Sharon will be heading out to the front of our property where we are working on a land clearing project for a (hopefully) future VRBO cabin build project. Sharon has this crazy idea for a one of a kind Western red cedar lamp project, so today we'll be taking the Kioti tractor (Kioti RX7320) and my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator. Our mission is to A) cut this Western red cedar tree and root ball free, B) weight it, and C) haul it back to Sharon's woodshop without any damage to it! And of course we will have some fun along the way, enjoy some great country scenery and fresh air! If you missed one of the videos mentioned in here of Sharon tossing me under the bus and comparing my Kioti tractor to her new 2022 Hyundai Sante Fe, here is the link to that one: https://youtu.be/gJ4xbMXte34 Thanks for joining us today, and as always please hit the like button and share this video if you got a laugh, learned something new or just enjoyed some vicarious fresh air with our team!

Join us to today's pond life/farm pond vlog to see what is going on and for the latest update (and first video segment) of our new Canada Geese nesting camera journey!

And then the storm hit.. With all of the rain we've been getting lately our 2 ponds that are interconnected have maintained an usually high level as the pond spillway takes longer now that it drains both ponds now with a higher water volume. And the last time we had heavy rains like this the pond actually crossed over the dam in one low spot. So in today's kapper farm vlog I'll break out the bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator with the Godzilla 36" bucket and the bobcat T650 CTL skid steer to bring in some more 3 inch stone in the spillway that is currently flowing with water, and I'll build up the low spot in the pond dam with dirt. And then the storm hit, so we'll get a look at the gulley washer heavy rain event and we'll take an after look at some of the water erosion damage that I cause on our Southern Illinois farm. And of course we'll take a look at the pond dam repair and spillway stone to see if it survived the storm!
