Join us for some more fresh air and sunshine in early March, 2022 as my wife Sharon, aka Mrs. Kapper, wants me to try to dismantle 2 different dead sassafras trees so that she can try to make some magical DIY rustic wood projects with them. I do have to give her credit though, because she literally makes many absolute one of a kind rustic wood projects from stuff like this! So today I'll take out my bobcat e42 R-2 series mini excavator on our Southern Illinois farm to try to break off 2 different dead sassafras trees so that she can salvage some of the unique twisted branches to make some very unique future rustic DIY wood projects. 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!

Does anybody really think that I actually deserve this kind of treatment!? Wait.... Don't answer that! LOL. Today my wife takes out my Kioti RX7320 for some project work, and on the way out to our work site she definitely tosses me under the bus a few times! Way to go honey! I am very proud of you!! :)

March 2022 coming at your from our beautiful Southern Illinois farm, on a gorgeous March day! Join us for some fresh air, fun and a full chainsaw review after using my Milwaukee M18 fuel chainsaw for over a year now. We'll put it to the test of cutting some green hardwoods, of varying kinds, and varying sizes, as well as a historical look back on real life and real world land investing applications that I have used the Milwaukee M18 fuel chainsaw in. Today I will tackle a large pile of hardwood trees and cut them into firewood size logs with the M18 fuel chainsaw. I carry this battery chainsaw at all times in my truck with 2 fully charged batteries, because in the land management business we are always running in to times that we need a chainsaw immediately, and it is very nice to have a much lighter saw, without having to carry fuel mix and oil all the time. And this is really where this battery operated chainsaw shines! Let's get some fresh air today and enjoy an afternoon of country living as we put the Milwaukee M18 fuel chainsaw to the test!

Coming at you from beautiful Southern Illinois! Join my buddy Phil today as we get an update on his beautiful 85 acre farm land management projects, get to check out his new chocolate lab puppy, some nice scenery in the woods and fresh air to boot! Today we'll get 2 separate land management updates. The first one was the smaller land clearing project that doubled the size of an existing micro food plot in the woods and connected it to a much larger, open field food plot. Of course, we'll get some before and after shots and a little humor mixed in as we always try to do! Then we'll get an update on the really BIG food plot expansion project as Phil has been busy clearing out all of the carnage that we created over the last month or so with my bobcat e42 R series mini excavator, and man, he has made some great progress!

You might be surprised on this one! Recently I bought a 2022 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Northstar Ultimate machine. And after reading some Polaris Ranger forums I discovered that there are 2 different shock mounting brackets that the shocks and springs can be mounted on. The information was that if mounted on the 'inside' position you'd get a softer ride, but lower ground clearance. And conversely, if the shocks were mounted on the 'outside' position you could increase your ground clearance up to nearly an inch, but have a stiffer ride. Well, today I think we will dispel that myth! Join us for today's Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Northstar Ultimate vlog! Thanks for joining us, and I hope to see you soon on my follow up riding video to see if in fact, the new suspension mounting will improve the ride or not! Thanks for joining us today!

Yep, it happened again! This is the first time that I captured it on camera though. Just a short clip of the real time dislocating of one of my artificial hips. Thank goodness in this case due to my sudden reaction that it popped right back in!! Geez, getting old is not for the faint at heart!!

BOOM!! What more could you ask for on a wintery Friday night!? BIG ILLINOIS BUCKS, fall food plots, strategy & more! Happy Friday! Join me today for a very cool land management strategy video and some real life evidence, intel, big bucks and more. In today's episode, which is leading off our newest food plot and deer management line for the 2022 deer season, we'll take a look at the complete picture of a late season deer strategy move that I did here on our Southern Illinois farm, which consisted of A) Gathering big buck intel on our farm, B) After assessing the food plot intel, moving a deer tower to a new location mid season (Dec 08, 2021), and then C) the follow up evidence AFTER the deer tower move to see how things worked out! This particular food plot and deer scrape is located in the very center of our Southern Illinois hunting land. This fall food plot for deer was planted VERY late in the season because the first time I planted it, we had a drought that basically suffocated it. So, I decided to re plant it late in the fall with a 4 grain cereal grain mix as well as a brassica mix. While the brassica's did not do very well, the 4 grain fall cereal mix did well and continued to grow throughout the season and into the new year. Thanks for joining us today and definitely stay tuned for our newest food plotting series which we'll be kicking off very soon. It will be the year round 2022 food plot series, and we'll begin with case study videos like this from 2021, and then move into the 2022 food plotting season to document the changes, and new strategies coming at you from our personal farms as well as some client properties that we will be working on throughout the year.

Are you sick of winter weather right now!? Me too!! So, let's get some fresh air, and get out of the house for a little while as I complete another land clearing project on my buddy's Southern Illinois farm. Today will be the completion of a new land clearing project that will expand a current Micro food plot in the woods, with another existing 'big field' food plot to create a really nice 'bump out' food plot that will be enclosed on 3 sides by timber and cover. Today I'll be using my Bobcat e42 R-2 series Mini excavator at my friend Phil's Illinois homestead farm, (which is not far from the Kentucky border) to help him by expanding this food plot and continuing to improve his property to help him live the dream, one acre at a time even more so now! This will be the completion of this particular land clearing project and we'll start with a Before look, then some during clips, then the completion of clearing the last few big tree with my bobcat mini excavator and then an after look to see how it turned out. Also we'll look at some nice bucks in some trail cam videos to help to motivate all of us for the 2022 deer hunting season! After all, we are NOW working on the 2022 Illinois deer season!

Join us for a beautiful (well, very windy..) sunny day down here in Southern Illinois for a multi pronged Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate UTV vlog! First, I'll give a DEFINITIVE answer on whether SC1 'New bike in a can' Sealer and protectant actually works to reduce the mud and clay that sticks to your off road vehicle parts, and then we'll get a few sneak preview videos of an upcoming UTV trail riding video, and ME getting thrown under the bus by one of my buddies! Oh, and after cleaning off my new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Northstar Ultimate we'll take it for a nice ride to 'air dry' the water from washing it off with a garden hose and then get a final 2 thumbs UP or 2 thumbs DOWN as to whether I think the SC1 New bike in a can actually works at reducing mud and clay buildup and sticking to our off road vehicles!

Feb 2022; Southern Illinois. Join us for a short kapper vlog today as we join a couple of my buddies on one of their Southern Illinois farms as they are doing some stump and tree root clearing to create a new gravel pad. Today they are using my friend Aric's Jansen MB 300 backhoe, aka, Jansen mb-300 mini excavator, among other names. They are working on a new gravel pad expansion on his Southern Illinois farm. Let's see how the Jansen MB-300 does with pulling hardwood roots. Also, let's improvise a little since the mini excavator has enough hydraulic power to continually life the base of the unit, let's try to bring in a tractor loader for the assist! Improvising seemed to work and keep the base of the unit much more stable with the weight of the 45 hp compact tractor added for assistance! We'll also do a quick walk around of this unit and share a few thoughts about it. I am definitely going to stop down at Aric's farm and try this thing out if I get the chance! Thanks for joining us today, and as always if you enjoy this video please hit the thumbs up and leave us a comment and share some of your initial thoughts. Thank you.

Feb 18, 2022 from our Southern Illinois half frozen farm ponds. There are 2 small flocks of Canada geese doing some kind of competitive goose calls and body language displays that are really neat to watch! I suspect this is the beginning of the spring mating season, but am not certain. Thanks for joining us today from our Kapper Outdoors farm, we hope to see you again on some future videos!

PART 2 conclusion, did I damage the underside or passenger door on a big rock? Today we'll test our many different items on my new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar crew Ultimate! If you missed PART 1 you might want to start there before this conclusion: https://youtu.be/zRCDjGXQYp0 And here is the video of the SC1 New bike in a can that we will also follow up on today: https://youtu.be/10gRCmzZlkY We've been getting heavy rains all day today, so I decided to go ahead and get wet and test out many different things today on my new 2022 Polaris Northstar Ultimate, as well as some of my DIY GoPro camera mount and different camera angles. Today we'll brave the heavy rains and try out the Polaris Northstar Ultimate cab to see if it leaks in heavy rains, well try out the 4wd system as we drive through heavy rains and slick clay, we'll do some creek crossings in a deep creek, try out the 4wd system, engine braking, and much more. While I really did not want to get soaking wet, I thought this was a great opportunity to try out the Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate as well as test out my 3rd try on my DIY GoPro camera mount to get some very unique camera angles for the Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate trail ride! Thanks for joining me today and stay tuned for the next episode of this rain soaked ride to see if I damaged my passenger side door after slamming down on a big rock that was hidden in the overflowing creek, see if the Northstar cab leaked, or if the doors leaked from high waters, and much more.

I know that I am not the only one that has encountered this! Join me for another Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate vlog (Although this could apply to any Polaris Ranger Northstar, or other UTV with backup cameras) as I try to improve the sight line of the rear backup camera on my 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate crew machine! I ordered a brush guard/rear bumper from Polaris and noticed that I can not see very far in the backup camera the way the rear bumper sits. After contacting Polaris, my dealer told me that they suggested trying some washers as spacers on the rear backup camera mount. Of course this was the first thing that my buddy Phil and I thought of also, but I wanted to hear from Polaris as well. In today's episode I will give this theory a try and show you the steps of lowering the rear backup camera if you have a rear UTV bumper that blocks some of the view. Anyone can do this hack to improve their sight line for a rear backup camera, but if you are into fabrication and have your own shop, a better solution can easily be made. Then we'll hop in the new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Northstar Ultimate for a short ride down our mile long gravel drive and then down the dead end road that we live on here in Southern, Illinois. (I'm not sure that I have every shown the rest of our dead end road here). Anyway the result's were mixed. While I could now see several feet farther back with the new backup cam mount, it was not quite as far as I had hoped I would. Although I was only using the screws that I had available in my shop, and if I'd have had a longer screw available this would be for sure 100% resolved! But hey, at this point I'll take a win now that I can see several more feet to the rear with the backup cam, we got to enjoy a nice, late winter day here in Southern Illinois being 61 and sunny, and we got to take a short ride in the new Polaris Northstar Ultimate! Thanks for joining me today and stay tuned for many more updates like this and some new riding videos! Also at the end of this video I'll give some info on a YouTube trail ride that I would like to host in the very near future! Thanks for joining us today!

Definitely a little different kind of Valentine's day vlog! Coming at you from Southern Illinois, today I was finally able to do the last little bit of cleanup from the 2 story abandoned home demolition that I did over the last few weeks. Since the dumpster was still there and then we had rain, sleet and snow for a week I was not able to finish it up. But today it will be sunny and cold, but I will be in the bobcat e42 R-2 series mini excavator so I can handle it! :) The last time I took the wooded trail I got lost and ended up having to go around, back on the roads to get over to this abandoned home demolition site. But not today! Special Thanks to Aric for marking and cleaning up the trails through the woods so that I don't get lost this time! Now, if you are sad that you missed a better Valentine's day vlog, be sure to stay tuned to our channel as my wife literally just drove in her brand new vehicle today! Yes, on Valentine's day! Here is the link to the preview video of her checking out an all wheel drive SUV and a Hot rod Mustang! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk83xsiZJg8 Stay tuned for the full video of which vehicle she picked and brought home on Valentine's day!

Another new experiment for me! In today's episode I will be taking some advice from a friend who also has a Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate UTV. He suggested that before I even get the Ranger dirty to apply a coating of SC1 high gloss coating, aka 'New bike in a can,' to the entire Polaris Ranger Northstar ultimate, including the entire under body, skid plate, suspension and then of course the plastic body. Join us today as we share the process of this application, mix in some trail riding videos of the Northstar Ultimate, mix in some humor, compare a tire and rim both with the SC1 and without, and then a final after look after some muddy trail riding! And definitely stay tuned for the next leg of this experiment when I spray it down to see how the mud and dirt come off compared to our experiences from our other off road vehicles that don't have the SC1 high gloss coating.
