Today's Friday night food plot update is a full & detailed episode! Join my buddy Phil for a complete and detailed Friday night food plot update from his Southern Illinois hunting land, which is an 85 acre farm located in far Southern Illinois just north of the Ohio river and the Kentucky border. Today Phil will take us along for a full ride and status updates on corn food plots, soybean food plots, buckwheat food plots, bedding cover plots, fall food plot soil preparation, corn education, and a check in on the brand new future food plots that we cleared this winter on his Southern Illinois farm. Even though during this update period he got pretty desperate with his deer food plots, mother nature ultimately came in and gave him a big boost (and the rest of us down here) some nice rains for late July! Stay tuned for my next corn and soybean food plot updates, as well as Phil's final pre-season update! We'll see if this year I can out produce all of the hungry critters here on our Southern Illinois Kapper Outdoors farm!

What a great property tour and 5 year look back with a very special guest today! Join us for a special episode today, as I take a very special guest for a ride through the woods and for a property tour of our Southern Illinois farm. This weekend we got all of the plumbing & septic lines set for our future vrbo cabin build project, and our plumber, Casey, who also did all of the plumbing in our current home 5 years ago, had is son Parker along to help him out while I was cutting a new 1/4 mile trail through fangorn forest with my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator. Well, it was time to take the very first trail ride through the new deep woods trail and I invited Parker to join me in my 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar Ultimate to check out the new trail through the woods as well as for a property tour, and then we'll also check out our new 1.5 acre pond as well. What is very unique and interesting is that Casey, who also did all of the plumbing in our current home, brought his then 6 year old son, Parker, out to our home and they walked the bottom of the pond before it had any water in it! So today, after the pond is full and 17 feet deep, I'll show Parker the pond and bring back some memories of the visit from 5 years ago! What a cool look back and fun episode!

Beautiful soft ride, but the new tires are rubbing! Join me for today's episode as I change out the stock 29" tires on my 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 crew sunset red side by side. I purchased these tires recently from the guy that we bought Sharon's 'used' 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar Ultimate from, as he had them lined up to put on his Ranger but hadn't got around to it yet. Join me in the shop and barn today as I swap out the tires, take some test rides, then come back and do a shock adjustment, stiffening up the shocks by 2 notches and then another trail ride. I'll also consider a couple of options for curing the tires rubbing on the fender problem, including adding UTV tire spacers, and/or making a small cutout on the plastic on the inner wheel wells. The tires are barely rubbing, so I think I'm in good shape debating my options.

Today I started on our new trail system in the woods for our future VRBO cabin rental. As part of the cabin rental we will be offering roughly 20 acres of private trails and exploring for those who rent our future vrbo cabin. In today's episode I'll start the trail system and cut at least a 1/4 mile of new trails through some deep woods and thick wooded undergrowth with my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator. Join me in the cab of the excavator to see how I handle the deep woods terrain and seriously overgrown woods to make a nice, future walking, exploring or even a riding trail system through the thick woods, which is an overgrown cedar thicket, also named fangorn forest.

HAPPY FRIDAY!! Did I just buy another 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate!!?? This has to be the best gift ever for Sharon, my country girl sweetheart!! This video is near live, on Friday, July 22, 2022. In today's episode we'll take a road trip 653 miles each way, to purchase a USED, but new to us, 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate machine for Sharon as we continue to move 'equipment chess pieces' on our Southern Illinois farm, as we prepare for Sharon to be able to retire from her healthcare job so that we can start living the dream after we can afford for her to retire! We are constantly looking ahead and buying and selling land and equipment, trying to make some profits along the way, so that we can eventually enjoy some retirement life together. Needless to say it is always expensive, always and uphill battle, and it always very challenging, but we wouldn't have it any other way! Thanks for joining us today on this fun road trip mission, and stay tuned for the full follow up episode as we will document everything that went into this new/used Polaris Northstar Ultimate purchase and the (hopeful) sale of our 2019 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar to see how much this new upgrade cost us out of pocket.

Today is a short, behind the scenes episode of Pro Staffer Phil preparing fire breaks in the woods of his 85 acre Southern Illinois farm. There are many different methods that you'll see today including some Kioti tractor loader work, some Kioti tractor and a land plane, leaf blower and tractor grapple work. Also prior to using the Kioti tractor, he was using my bobcat T650 CTL skid steer, but he was in a hurry to get the 'newly required' fire breaks done since the prescribed burn team leader added more fire breaks to the list since the first time the prescribed burn assessment was made. But this will give you a decent idea of the methods used to prepare fire breaks for a prescribed burn, especially in the woods. Here is a link to one of the prescribed burns that Phil participated in this spring (which had 15+ foot flames at times): https://youtu.be/yZTt34XBbS0 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 me for some fresh air and deep woods scenery as I complete the logging road portion of this 5 acre project property with my Bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator and my Mongo tilt bucket. I had to pull a couple of oak trees, but the majority of what I had to finish was grading work on steep hills, so the Mongo tilt bucket was the best tool for that. And since I only had to pull 2 trees I thought I'd just leave the Mongo tilt bucket on, and improvise, adapt & overcome and use the tilt bucket. The differences, when it comes to grubbing and pulling trees is that the tilt bucket has a smooth edge, whereas the digging bucket has teeth, and the excavator thumb doesn't work when the tilt buck it on. But I think I can make it work! Here is the bobcat e42 mini excavator time lapse of grading a ditch and hillside with the Mongo tilt bucket that I referenced today: https://youtu.be/nF7o6Zx5U80 So join me for some sun and fresh air and some excavation work to help you unwind from your stressful day.

In today's Kapper farm vlog we'll watch one of my Southern Illinois land improvements, a corn food plot for deer that I had to replant this spring due to deer and other critters destroying it. In today's episode we'll get to watch the corn grow with a cool corn food plot trail cam time lapse. My trail camera is a Tactacam Reveal X cellular trail camera. Stay tuned for my next corn and soybean food plot updates! We'll see if this year I can out produce all of the hungry critters here on our Southern Illinois Kapper Outdoors farm!

Will this work? Oh, and of course before I can grab this willow tree from our pond edge I have to take out a triple trunked hardwood, roots and all! Join us for another fun Modern homestead weekend vlog as we work our way down our list of things to do around our Southern Illinois farm. Today I am using my 2021 Bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator with a 2 foot digging bucket. Seemed like a good option based on the size of the willow tree. But first let's tackle a very big, triple trunk hardwood tree that has been dead for a year or so.

Join us for today's land management episode as I take down a widow maker dead tree that is close to our house, that I have been dreading for the last 2 years! Today we've decided to tackle this big dead pine tree (aka a widow maker), as we've been fearing that with every storm it might come down on our beautiful Southern Illinois country home! Every time it storms and the winds kick up, I keep wondering when it is going to come down on our house! Today I will tackle this widow maker in a slow, and methodical method to maximize taking it down exactly where I want it to fall, and doing it as safe as possible.

What is Curtis getting me into now!? Join me for some fresh air, deep woods, and land management success as I cut a half mile of deep woods trails through a property that border's the Shawnee National forest. Now if you've ever done or seen this kind of land management and excavation work, with such overgrown woods it can be very challenging to stay on the property that you are working on and not go over the boundaries of the neighboring property! Even GPS can be challenging and not so accurate, especially if you are cutting a perimeter trail and want to stay close to the perimeter property line! Today I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator for this land clearing and trail making project. Here is a link to the 'walk through' of this property that we did before we made a bid on this land clearing and trail making project: WHAT IS CURTIS GETTING ME INTO NOW?: https://youtu.be/4o4Qu7_WSP8 Here are a few links to a recent project in the same vicinity: CUTTING NEW ROAD THROUGH THE WOODS & INSTALLING NEW CULVERT PIPE: https://youtu.be/qWpMYdp3fQk FINISH GRADING NEW REMOTE CAMPSITE ON RIDGETOP: https://youtu.be/W-O8qQZdshw And here are the first couple of episodes of this latest client land management & land improvement project series: PART 1 fixing and re-routing a hillside washed out ditch: https://youtu.be/SgkHXN9HY7c PART 2 creating 2 new camper and fifth wheel camper pads in the woods: https://youtu.be/N9aIE7g7SzY 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!

Sharpen the blades on a brush cutter for a finish mowed look! Mowing the pond dam. Join me today for another episode of fresh air, freedom and the bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator paired with a Construction attachments 42" brush cutter (heavy duty). Drone footage, sunshine, fresh air, machines at work, bush hogging, brush cutting, some sketchy work and more. Today we sharpened the blades of the 42" mini excavator brush cutter for a more finish mowing look on our Southern Illinois pond dam. First I tackled the overgrown pond dam segments and got the blade a little dull with all of the trees that I processed with it on the old pond dam.

Well, as usual my buddy Curtis Rogers, from Midwest Farm & Land, down here in Southern Illinois is probably going to get me in over my head again! Join us for a quick tag along video of our initial assessment of a very remote property that borders the Shawnee National Forest as he is working with the landowner's to parcel off a couple of 20 acre parcels. But the property is so thick that in places you can hardly even walk through it. But before the first sale can go through it has to be surveyed, and as of right now the surveyor can't get his equipment in there seeing how thick the overgrown brush is. So today we'll take a walk in the woods and check it out. Stay tuned as I am going to be meeting the surveyor tomorrow with my bobcat e42 r series mini excavator to cut him some new trails and paths along the property line of one of the new 20 acre parcels so that he can get the corner's marked for the new parcels. Thanks for joining us and stay tuned for not only this deep woods project but many other country living and land management adventures. Kapper Outdoors, living the dream, one acre at a time.

Cabin build status, DIY rustic projects, taking down trees, Transplanting trees, wildlife and more. Join us for today's Modern Homesteading Southern Illinois farm vlog as we cover the last few weeks of what's been going on here at our Kapper Outdoors Southern Illinois farm. Things have been a bit hectic between me trying to do a few client property projects here and there, and keep up with our home farm here in Southern Illinois and food plots, and Sharon working 50 to 60 hours a week at her healthcare career that it is quite the balancing act when it comes to time and energy!

A client property project for today. In today's episode I'll head back to a client property that last year I bush hogged with my Bobcat T650 and Blue Diamond brush cutter. This time I am cutting in a new driveway opening from the road for future vehicular access to this beautiful Southern Illinois property. I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator. For once, this project did not fight me all too much! Join me in the cab of the bobcat e42 for some fresh air, and a completed project and a complete before and after look at how it went. My next task on this particular Southern Illinois property is to come back and bush hog several miles of trails throughout this property. I hope to get to that very soon. Here is the video link of last year's bush hog video: BUSH HOGGING 7 FOOT JUNGLE WITH BOBCAT T650 AND BLUE DIAMOND SEVERE DUTY CUTTER: https://youtu.be/gSd37kaw4AY And as always if you enjoy this video please hit the like button and share it to help us continue to increase our YouTube channel family, we greatly appreciate that.

The struggle is real when you live in the middle of the Shawnee National forest and have a super high density of not only deer, but rabbits, woodchucks, crows, and many other food plot eating critters! But I am not giving up just yet this year! Join us for a Friday night food plot update from Phil, coming at your from his 85 acre Southern Illinois farm. So, in his first corn & soybean planting, the corn got devoured by critters, but the soybeans held their own. So he tilled under the first corn food plot and replanted the entire thing. Today, we'll get an update on everything after a couple of weeks since replanting the corn. Join us for the whole process to see what went right, what went wrong, the current steps Phil and I have taken, some great corn and soybean food plot chronological updates, and and up to the day update as of today to see where we stand! I also put out some 'human fakes,' including several machines and my tractor in the fields to try to at least slow the eating carnage of the corn and soybeans. Also I added 2 new utilization cages to better gauge what I already believe, as far as the devastating critter carnage! So, definitely hit the like button, subscribe and hit the bell icon to follow our 2022 spring food plots for deer, as well as all of our mini excavator projects, skid steer projects, tractor projects, our VRBO cabin build project, UTV trail riding projects, DIY rustic red cedar and barn wood projects and all of our Country living adventures!

I love this Mongo tilt bucket! Where has it been for all of my adult excavator life!? lol. Join me today for some fresh air, and some deep woods scenery as I head back to that 5 acre project property with my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator and the Mongo tilt bucket. One of today's land improvement/land management missions is to fill in a borrow pit that I needed to install this 24" x 20' culvert, as there is now 2 feet of water sitting in the borrow pit. Additionally, I need to regrade the entire hillside and re cut a runoff ditch so that it does not flow on to the new road I made through the woods where the new culvert pipe is installed. So join me for some sun and fresh air and some nice time lapse video to some relaxing music to help you unwind from your stressful day.

July 6, 2022, Heat index's up to 112, hot & humid. Since I was out riding my new 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate crew I thought I would demonstrate how the Air Conditioning works on the new Northstar Ultimate crew. I do know that they changed the AC system on the 2022 models and added a 2 stage AC compressor to help it stay cool better at idle. So let's take a ride around the farm and I'll show you just how good, or not so good the AC works on the 2022 Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate! If you enjoyed the riding clips in this video here are a couple of links of some of my recent Northstar Ultimate riding videos: POLARIS NORTHSTAR ULTIMATE CAN AM AND INTIMIDATOR KENTUCKY UTV TRAIL RIDE: https://youtu.be/cTLyKeY-YXQ 2022 POLARIS RANGER NORTHSTAR ULTIMATE CREW FIRST RIDE & INITIAL THOUGHTS: https://youtu.be/xN0orXr7m8s 2022 POLARIS RANGER NORTHSTAR ULTIMATE FIELD TRIALS IN HEAVY RAINS: https://youtu.be/zRCDjGXQYp0 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!
