I couldn't think of of better description of life

Cable bridge , they never fail to add a bit of excitement to a woods walk!

Don’t take anything for granted your relationship with Christ your health and relationship with your wife. Lost my health over 20 years ago in my 60s now. Forever changed This country boy’s life. Thanks for the video sir God bless

You and the Admiral, as a great team, are proof that guts, grit and gumption make our world a better place to live!

I have a Park Model trailer sitting on my property. It’s 8 x 40 ft and the frame is c channel steel. The frame would be a great base for the walk bridge. There are also many derelict single wide trailers all over the area. People will give them away if someone would just come get em. Anyway, use the frame, use treated 2x6 for the deck, and wrought iron 42” fence panels for the sides

YEAH! Its a good morning when Kleeman wakes you up.

Cut the boom of DP's vintage crane when he's not looking.🤣

convert to a covered bridge and save all your work you have put in it, keep up the good work

Wow, Captain, that title for this video nailed my philosophy. I moved from having to work part time at an apartment complex plus two other part time jobs, (because small cities pay so well) to afford the rent, to owning a ranch, by doing exactly that. I also did what you do, learned a lot of skills by doing stuff on my own that most folks won't even try. I apologize for the long comment, but as always, thanks for the video and take care.

Good morning sunshine! The very best way to start my Monday is with a video from Captain Kleeman! Awesome bridge with rails! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

This recent project really highlighted the difference between the backhoe and the mini excavator. I always thought - yeah you can do most of what you need with that backhoe. Turns out the excavator is pretty darn useful in different ways. Good you can rent one when you really need it.

Kleeman Khronikles continue.....not only looks like a lot of hard work, it IS a lot of hard work. I like the railing and good on ya for getting those locust posts from locally grown 'stock.' I think you would have fun on your place if....when it cam time to replace the bridge.....that you install a zip line over it. It's make those hikes in the woods more fun for members of the Admiral's junior staff. Great channel....great content.

Mike, I work in a hospital for the past 35 years dealing with the sick and dying of all ages and I’ve learned one thing….. don’t take life too serious… it ain’t permanent😑👍🏼

Hi Mike. Who needs a gym membership when you have a post pounder? Leg day, arm day and torso day, all in one! I don't really have any great ideas for a bridge. I was thinking something nautical to go along with the YT yacht, but I only came up with a gang plank and I'd say the bridge you have is much better than that right now. Maybe something with chains for railings. That would sort of be like the bridge you walk up to board a ship.

A suspension bridge would be great and last a long time too.😊

Mike the railing turned out hood. I like the style of the current bridge. So maybe a timber bridge with steel beams as supports, or maybe a old trailer frame. I hear that Man Behind the Scenes has one that DP wants gone. Whatever you decide it will be interesting. Stay safe brother

shipping container it would make a covered Bridge

Good morning i used rail road track ties it's been five years now i still drive my old 1951 Ferguson tractor over it .Even when yours was built it still is a great bridge well done sir Captain

Hey Cap’n and Admiral, try a cable swing bridge. You did say walking bridge so I’m not thinking any vehicles. In Bulge Park, Victoria Australia there is a large swing bridge all suspended on steel cables. It may be a recycle project for worn crane cables because they do need replacing for safety with the heavy lifts but they would still be great for the job. Well you asked and I thought, now that’s a dangerous combo.

i know a guy that used a old trailer house frame.he sand blasted it.primed and painted it.he also welded 3in. pipes on the side for the railings .

Thanks for waiting for the deer. Use to live where I saw them often have not seen one in many a years so I really do appreciate it and all your great video's best to you and your family.

Without a doubt you are arguably the best KZfaq channel out there at the moment and as for a footbridge - I have a liking for suspension bridges, perhaps out of metal🇬🇧😊

Look at those guns Captain!!💪💪 Great job!!🤗🇺🇸

I'm late to the party and everyone has mentioned great ideas to replace the foot bridge. Great work Mike keeping all the projects going. Stay safe

I liked: "now you can do the ole rail lean......WOW...treees" 🤣

My advice... Just keep doing what you are doing. A typical untreated timber bridge lasts between 5&10 years depending on the climate you are in. With monitoring and visual inspections throughout the year, you will see as well as The Admiral and the kids, I'm pretty sure somebody is going notice things that arise. Between now and the time you will actually need to replace that bridge, I'm positive someone on your crew will have a suitable idea.🤙

If you had the money and time. Making a minute covered bridge would fit your goals for the property perfect. You can take a few saplings right now and bow them to the length and arch you want. And when you get ready, they will be there for you to make your main saports for the bridge for free like a regular covered bridge. Love your Chanel Mike and especially when you ask for suggestions for future projects.

Like the title it’s what the wife and I work for is a better life for us and our 🐶🐾pup

Good morning, Captain! You are one of the best at multitasking. The walking bridge is awesome 👌 I love what you are doing. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

Great job Captain!

Captain, Maybe in your search you can find a few old I-Beams from a basement or an old Truck frame and use your welding skills to build the bridge Frame. Painted it should last a very long time. Great Video.

Now in my 50's I have to use a strap and the mini to left the post pounder to drive them in. Maybe??????? New bridge should be a cable suspension one.

Another great video.

Nice job man!

Good morning and Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian fans of Captain Kleeman. People think we say Eh a lot but try spelling Canada without saying Eh. 😉

Mike your welding skills give you the chance to make a long term bridge and as another comment suggested a cable bridge with maybe pallet racking cross beams welded together lengthways then pipe welded to the outer edges for the handrail, uprights and to run the cable through. It is very versatile and very often seen cheap on marketplace.

Thanks 👍

Good job and Happy 4th

I built a creek bridge out of 32’ high voltage power line cross ties. I used 8’ parking blocks on either side of the creek as a base, laid the 3 cross ties and then decked it out with treated 2”x6”’s.

Beautiful bridge built👍🏾

Thanks Mike,peace brother…

Right on, Mike. Power to your elbow, and may your bearings never seize!

Keep chipping away at it. Looks good sir.

Hope you and the family have a happy and safe 4 th

I think this is where I Strategically borrow DP's auger because i'm not man enough to even think about lifting that backache in post pounder form

The bridge looks great! I like it!!

That looks awesome Mike, that’s the progress I like to see.

Captain another great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

You are one productive feller! I admire hard work. I've been accused of being a work-a-holic and you work more than I ever did! All I can think of is the guy who is going to be mad at you when his saw blade hits that screw when that tree is being sliced in to boards! I've done it on my sawmill. It will make you scream! Mighty nice bridge Mike!

It looks pleasantly walkable! Great job Captain!

I look forward to seeing your videos and having a cup of coffee in the morning ❤🎉🎉

Looks good sir!

I've often thought about getting shipping container or tractor trailer to make a foot bridge and dress it up to look like a real old fashioned covered bridge.

The railings is just what that bridge needed Mike. looks great

I think you ought to take and build a cover for that bridge with like a roof and so forth and just repair the rot and so forth and you’ll have a covered footbridge joy the video as always

I love your new railings, your bridge looks Amazing Mike❤👍👍😎😎🍮🍮

I look forward to the day I can rent a cabin from you. Great work man!!

Hi Mike. A very full video. Great to see your creativity and fun approach in action again ;) Thanks Cheers Ray (UK)

Another fine job!!! I really like how you didn't even use a tape to measure you lumber or cuts!. A true craftsman. Only thing I would do different, I would have put a 15 degree cut on the 2x that is attached at the tree, just a minor thing, looks real good Mike!!

Looks so much larger with you standing there Mike, wow!

Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks mike & Friends Randy

bridge looks great, can't wait to see what you're going to build next 👍👍👍👍👍

a cable bridge like the on down in tenn.and you could use your limestone to build pillars at each end

Another project down,kinda,sorta.just keep scratching projects of the list.but this time don’t add to it,for at least a few weeks.great video as always.just keep doing your thing.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Looks sharp 👌 Forget about it ❤

nice work mike locking coet

Some sort of suspension bridge would be cool.

One of the coolest foot bridges I’ve seen is out of an old school bus. 🚌

I think another stone bridge with an arch would be really cool and could last 500 years. Make it so you you don’t use mortor and no cracks will form. Build a removable arched frame. Wedge in the stones with a key stone and make sure it drains water.

Always intricate designs and tool usage with the captain. Always enjoy watching what you make work.

Looks like you're getting a good chunk of the starting projects for roads and trails and swimming hole great video Mike keep it up

Captain you always have a way of making me laugh. Really enjoy your shows.

Cap’n, old trailer house frames are hell for stout… and cheap too! There’s always some old abandoned mobile mansion that needs torn down… the 555 with its extends-boom and grapple would make quick work of it. And bonus… the footage would be golden. You may be able to get four of them from one job, if long enough. That will make your decking options almost endless! Now bud, I’ll be watching to see what you decide… just keep doing what YOU want!!!

Dude this guys the man, I genuinely learn so much from him

You are an amazing 1 man team. Your energy is exhausting but such fun to watch.

That bridge is awesome! You have great imagination. Hope the admiral likes it!

Great job, enjoy watching your videos, so we’ll see you on the next one

When the time comes to replace the foot bridge, I think a cable swinging bridge would be awesome. It would be awesome in and of itself. Plus, it would be great content. I hope you do. Can't wait to see it. Oh yeah... great video. BTW, I noticed your foot slipping. Made me gasp. I thought you were going to bust your but. Glad you didn't. 😂

Captain, you’re a legend. You have vision , get the job done and give me a laugh as well. As usual, well done. 🇦🇺😃

Looking amazing CAPT.

Looks like the projects are coming along flamingly. Pun intended... The start of this video was awesome in that it gives us viewers some idea of scale. Very impressive!

Every video is so relaxing. Thanks for doing these. It really gets my day started in a positive way. I was thinking maybe for the next bridge you could use decommissioned oil field pipe. It would last a very long time and could be a terrific opportunity to do some welding experimentation. Cutting holes in pipe A for pipe B to go into or cutting pipe B to saddle onto pipe A. There’d be all kinds of opportunities to be creative. I’ve seen old oil field pipe advertised on marketplace and it seems reasonable. It’s a thought. I really dig your content. Hope you and the entire crew are doing well and enjoying the summer weather.

That bridge looks great Keep on keeping God bless and stay safe

I always enjoy seeing what you're up to, looking good. Hear me out. When it comes time to replace the wooden bridge, what about replacing it with a shipping container? Yes I sea-can is an eye sore, but with a little bit of doctoring up you could easily have something structurally sound that looks like it's from a long time ago. Should be easy, just go find the tree that grows magic wands and problem solved. I can just imagine the effort it would take to drive a shipping container through the woods let alone a ravine, but just food for thought.

Bridge idea: Those aluminum ramps that lead down to floating boat docks. Or the dock itself. Around me, they go up on Marketplace frequently.

A covered bridge I think that would be cool

Hi HI Captain. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Wow, some more fun

Mike, that is an awesome build! Got nuthin else to say bout that cept,... Carry on Capt'n!

Love that bridge 👍 excellent work Mike, best wishes from Britain 👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

Thanks for sharing Mike, awesome video my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻

Captain Kleeman i like the project. 😊😊

You're lucky Mike, we have very few locust trees in Ga.

That look up to the sky before you started pounding the first post. I felt that look

Hey Captain I have seen a few flatbed trailers converted to bridges.. You could then easily gussied it up with timbers 😊

Man the railings make that bridge really stand out. Also we used black locus trees for fence post on our farm for years .

Hi yeah mike ! The name was spot on! And for the bridge replacement, id go with what the dept of interior dose it! You have a few of thdm right thier lol. And the tools for it lol!

Looks great. I’ve always wanted to build a suspended cable bridge. That would be cool

Not a dis, but I so had the thought of Clark Griswold and the newel post 🤣. Great work, so entertaining.

Beautiful bridge,you are doing great work, and the admiral I'm sure approves ❤😊

I remember many moons ago when I was a kid my dad got some locus posts, my first experience how to use a draw knife. Such fun.
