A full exploration would be great. I'm interested to know if there are any old buildings, cars, etc. out there.

Never in a million years would I believe I would be sitting watching a feller mow tall grass.... but here I am... loving every minute of it!

Never did I expect to sit here eating breakfast watching a video of a fellow mowing. And yet I did. Neat property!

Yes, Derek, we would love to see your entire new vacant property in a longer video so please show us around and anything interesting or old you find on it when you can. Thank you.

I think everyone wants to see a full exploration of this property. It’s nice to see all your hard work is paying off for you and the fam. Thanks for being the best creator on KZfaq 👍

Good time for a drone. Very useful for surveying properties, locating roads, checking for unwelcome visitors safely, and discovering the terrain, among many uses. 👍🏽

You could use a tracked, skid steer with a flail mower on the front. It would work great to open up that old road you found too.

Using a drone would be awesome for us to see the entire property also you’d be able to maybe find old buildings or foundations! Congratulations on your new property and looking forward to more VGG videos! 🇨🇦👍

A full exploration would be awesome. I love seeing stuff like this

A guy just sat here and watched a video of another guy clearing some land...and gosh darn I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't entertained. If it works and pays the bills, is it really a dumb idea? Nope! MORE please! Also, Derek, you're a fantastic human, a great family man, and a master at creating content. I don't know how you do it but please keep it up!

Yes! Let's go exploreing.

YES ! I want a full tour of the property, PLEASE !! LOL

You remind me of a neighbor of mine when I was a kid. My Dad had some issues and wasn't around a lot. But this fella looked out for me and let me watch him work on stuff and help out. He taught me a lot, but mostly he just made me feel like I could do stuff. The world needs guys like you to keep us going the right way. Keep it up.

Let's do it! A full blown exploration of the property would be awesome.

Definitely need a longer exploration video of this property!

A full exploration would be awesome!!

Nice to see different content from you Derek. Nearly 100k views in 5 hours of essentially a video of brush cutting pretty much confirms your ability to hook people with your personality and presentation. You could make a video about paint drying and it would be a winner.

Would love to see the property in whole! Curious on the acreage. Seems like quite a bit. Also love that you're doing this for your kids. You guys are phenomenal parents!

The cat paws on the windshield, so cool ! Man these videos are so cool. Reminds me of my childhood. My father was a great man. Cancer sucks and took him way too soon.

Yup, totally gotta explore that road/ trail thing during daylight. Chainsaw and side by side will be your friend. My favorite kind of exploration!!

I'd love to see more explorations of that property. An aerial view (without giving away your location to maintain privacy) would be awesome too.

Would love to see a full exploration of this property. Also it seems like a perfect place for a small cabin to be built in those woods.

Been awhile Derek Was so awesome to meet youbst Duct tape Drags Back in September 2023 @Vice Grip Lodge

I will gladly fly down from MI some weekend and take over the mowing. So satisfying 😊

A full video would be great. Land always holds its value, they don't make any more of it🇺🇲

We need more Lodge content. This is definitely a must do series!

Never thought I would watch a feller mow grass for 30 minutes but i gotta !!!! I'm looking right at it !!!

Nothing beats tromping around in the woods. At least for a while.

😮 Yes, let's explore your vacant property . Beautiful country! This will be very exciting! Thank you for sharing! 😊

You have come a long way from the little garage videos I watched years ago. What's great about watching you is your content keeps evolving and never disappoints.

YES!!!, That is a very beautiful piece of land you have there.

Yes please do a full video of the property drone camping etc! Also love the content on both channels

Definitely more exploration with the boys is needed. Great parents you and Jessica are, thinking of your kids in this way.

Heck yes! Full exploration would be too cool. Long time follower thinks you are truly rocking life. As a gear head, a business man, husband, father. What a wonderful role model you are, Derek. You provide a stark contrast to so much negativity in our world today. Thanks bunches, keep up the great work, and God bless you and your whole family.

Property content was enjoyable to watch.. you've definately got viewers curious as to where that road leads!

I've recently subscribed to VGG and then saw some of the videos on this channel and one thing I've got to say is you and your family are truly blessed. Keep up the good work!!

As a life long resident of east TN, "steeper than it looks" is always accurate 😂

You found a revival back there man, how cool!

Looks like a great place for you and the boys and the wife to enjoy some hunting/riding. It’s really nice to see someone fight for what they want and end up with a life they can say they built on their blood sweat and tears. I hope someday to be like you Derek. Awesome job sir.

Definitely a full exploration is called for!

This has all the promise of a full off grid getaway. Would love to see a hike through with all the family's reactions and an exploration of the old site

You and Jessica are fantastic parents Derek. For you to take care of your family in the manner you to by buying this land as a legacy for your child is so wonderful. We need more parents like you two. And a camping trip in the old school bus would be fun.

Definitely would love to see a exploration/ journey adventure

Wow quite a bit of Debris Cleared Derek 19:28 @Vice Grip Lodge

Great property Derek! Based on the size of the tree growth, I'd say you were following a logging access cut. I hope to see more of this!

We bought 75 acres in Upstate New York and it has miles of trails and small logging roads on it that we need to repair and clean up. Some of the old logging roads are likely 50+ years old and in some spots the gravel/crusher is still visible. The exploration and discovery is so much fun. You and the fam will have memories for years to come.

Please show a full video of the property @ViceGripLodge ! Loyal fan of VGG & VGL and think an exploration video would be an awesome addition to the already great content collection!

💯 go back again during the day for a good long video. Exploring is the best part of buying a,new property

I would absolutely love to see more. Maybe bring one of them picture boxes you can fly up in the air. Love all your stuff Derek but I found this really interesting.

A midweek bonus video. I'm so happy that you and your family have been so successful Derek. You and Jessica have worked so hard people can see what a fantastic success you have made of your opportunity.

At least you have 3 boys to help you clear that! Great job Derek!

I think that is a nice chunk of land and a feller could clean that little road up pretty easily with some mechanized wood chopping devices make a better dirt bike area than the slop you rode last time, first thing I would do is make sure there’s no squatters or bad medicine cookers you know, keep your small humans safe 👍

I’m so glad you are doing this for your family. The best investment is in family. Glad to see you happy to be home and I know Jessica and the family are glad your back. Love to see the whole property!

It's an Old Logging Road notice you don't have very many big gigantic trees back there scratches on your rig adds character keep up the good content

definitely do a camping video out there. im not sure if you own a drone but some drone shots of the property would really give us a nice perspective of the place. i like these videos more than the vice grip garage series and those are hard to beat!

Hell yeah ! m glad someone like ya'll bought this beautful volunteer land . Awesome

Finally, we want more Vice Grip Lodge 👌

Derek, you are the hardest working man in KZfaq. You're a one man force of nature.

Definitely clear up that old road! It would be cool to see the rest of the property and what it might be hiding!

Definitely would be great to see the whole family working that land. Derek has got to be the father of the year for the past 15 years running! Everything he does for the family, is wholesome and for the future success of the boys. He's a great admirable man.

Love the cat prints on the windshield, the universal sign of a rural vehicle. Reminds me of being on the farm. Would like to see a full exploration of the property. How many acres is it?

You bet. It’d be neat to see an episode of y’all exploring and adventuring on the property.

the boys are going to have a great time rippin that trail up with the dirt bikes

Do the full exploration, that would be cool. Looks like a very nice property.

Would love to see more exploration of the property. If you could get some drone footage of the property, that would be really cool too.

Don't apologize the content of this video was absolutely amazing and satisfying

Absolutely want to see more content of you exploring the properties!!

Should fly a drone up and see if you can find the creek from above, get a bit of an overview. Looks like a big piece of land.

Beautiful land ! I would love to see an exploration video, if you ever get the chance. Can't wait to see the creek you mentioned. Just be really careful, it's dangerous exploring alone, accidents happen before you realize it.

Pick a weekend, bring the family, dirt bikes, side by side and explore! Eddie

You'd do well to get a 4wd compact tractor with hydrostatic drive and independent rear PTO, then put a flail mower with hammer chisels on the rear 3pt hitch. Game changer!

I remember when u picked up all that mower equipment and took a tour of the facility. Nice to see it still in service.

A lot of folks use those hydraulic sidearm brush cutter tractors here in North Carolina too Derek. They also use them to trim tree branches growing too close to the side of our two lane roads. Also if you can get a cheap Ventrac mower from an auction you’d be in business. If you can’t find one of those for cheap fill the tires on your little tractor with beet juice so it’s not tippy. That’s all the advice I’ve got from one fella saving a few bucks to another.

VGG is doing very well!! Beautiful!

Not many other YouChoobers that I can enjoy watching cut grass but Ole Vicegrip sure dose have a way with words and the motivation is uncanny I'm trying to learn to be more self motivated!

What a beautiful piece of property. I would really enjoy a full exploration of the place. Man, I can see the boys having some fun there doing all sorts of things like hunting, building forts,(do boys still do that)? and just being boys. I wonder what the stream or creek looks like. Thanks for the adventure Derek. It just brought back so many of my Huckleberry Finn kid days.

What a stunning location, what a dream to have a house there, you’re kids are very lucky.

Two Words.... Deer Hunting!! The stands you could set up. My My!

Recommend putting in several trail cams as soon as you can. That land is probably full of deer critters.

Heck’s yeah a full exploration would be very cool!! You may even want to take a drone with you and record or check areas out before you go into so that nobody gets hurt be evil doers or wild animals…. Can’t wait to see what you do next, be careful!!

Reminds me of clearing trails and fields on my property. I hunt and explore all the time on it. If you do not keep up with the maintenance of it, Mother Nature will try to take it back in just a few years. Love this show for what it is. The background actual life of a person. The actual life a person lives is in and of itself a full time job.

This was cool !

That Swisher mower is designed to run to one side or the other of your tow vehicle so you don't have to run through all of that tall stuff with your SBS! Just pull some pins and the tongue will allow you to set the mower path out to the side! Check it out!

I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to see some more videos of the new property. Plus, you'd get to spend some time in the woods!

It would be cool to know more history of the land you have there. I would love to see a family camping/exploring trip. Time off with the fam is always good!

Thank you Derek for taking us on your adventure. That was awsome

Oh yes we are ready for the walk about. Bring a GPS and, well make a family day of it...but that probably is not enough time:) We're with ya!

Would definitely love a full tour of the property, absolutely flummoxed at how gorgeous it is

Derek HELL YES! Camp it and explore it, we'd love to see what you find 👍

I've often thought they should do more wit the work potential of four wheelers and side by sides. You're going to enjoy that with your boys.

A feller should most definitely do a full property tour to be able to see the full extent of what you’ve got goin on out there! If there is a way you could get a drone airborne on the property that would be pretty neet as well! 🤙

Absolutely would like to see your property.

Please do more exploring and take us with you!

Heck yes!!! I would love to see an adventure episode!!

You should have the land professionally surveyed, it will help you figure out where the build able areas are.

Yes. A full Exploration would be cool!

Thanks for the video! I would do a drone survey of the whole property then you could walk us through that.

New Holland C232 tracked Skid Steer with front mounted hydraulickly tiltable Extreme brush cutter. You can punch a trail pushing forward with one. You can sidehill track and mow down small trees without worry. It will drag dead old cars out of the treeline, uphill, in the snow, with no oxygen, easy. Had a chance to operate one just awhile ago. It was too much fun. The hydraulic brush cutter head swivels and floats with a flick of the wrist. You can pick it up and fold it right to the cab door.

Bleep-bloop! More exploration please. Watching someone explore abandoned dirt roads in the woods is mysterious and fun.

Looks like a nice place to find a still.
