VGG and the Lodge are purity in a field of internet crap Please keep going for as long as you can.

Just wanna say thank you. All the negative stuff in the world right now it's so nice to see great positive content. I always smile watching your vids. And I have learned so many new terms. Lol

Just when I thought I couldn’t like a guy and a gal anymore then I already did you 2 go and lay out some top notch family friendly content like this.

When you feel like the inmates are running the asylum, it sure does make a guy feel better to see a regular American and his regular family having a regular meal and some regular quality time together to celebrate our independence. I could not ask for anything more.

"Yeah that wasn't parent sanctioned... but see if it fires up" Perfect!

You fellers down there in Merica do show a love of country the best way. Happy 4th from a northern neighbor.

"Honey, how many bottles of black velvet do we need?" "Yes"

This video reminds me why I stand for the national anthem, recite the pledge of allegiance and say thank you to the members of our armed forces when I meet them. It is by God's grace that this country and its wonderful citizens exists. Thank you VGG Family for sharing!

Fellers with an eye patch, and three fingers, sell the best fireworks....

LOL @16:05 "Good thing Bailey is on cleanup duty." "Huh?"

This video is a carbon copy of every Independence Day my Dad, Mom, my two brothers and I ever had when I was a kid. Thanks for being great parents. Your boys are incredibly lucky to have you.

Jessica and Derek, you not only host one of the best , no, make that TWO of the best KZfaq channels goin’, you’re pumping good values and memories into those three young fellers! And that cake turned out neat! Happy (belated) Fourth to all of ya! God bless ‘Merica! 🇺🇸

A guy would just like to thank you and the family for allowing us into your lives while celebrating the 4th. Means a lot to us here and we sure appreciate it. 👍🏼 Merica 🇺🇸

thank you so much for sharing your family outing with us...what a blessing to see a family hang out together and have so much fun!!!! Rock star video!!!

This is the BEST channel to just escape from the tribulations and stresses of today's crazy upside-down world. God bless you and your family, Derek!

I love how Jessica loves life so much she has permagrin. Beautiful family brother, thank you for sharing. I have 4 girls and 1 boy ages 28 to 11 and 2 grandsons.

No matter what you give the boys they’ll never forget that family time.

The garage and the lodge both rock I am addicted to this channel. I guess you like black velvet lol

Great family, Derek. Thanks for inviting us in. Best to you.

Thumbs up for vacating the handicap spot when you saw the sign! A lot of folks nowadays use those spots just because they're the closest to the door. Coming from someone with disabilities, thank you for showing folks the right way to be.

A guy can appreciate the Joe dirtè references 🤣

I was having a really bad frickin day. A little bit of the love and homeyness from you and your family and it all melts away for a time. Thank you.

much love my friend. i have a 4 year old boy, and these days are very special. family time memories will build the foundations of good men. thank you for sharing yours, it is great for people/culture to see what things are supposed to be.

Had about 5 neighbors along my channel shoot a good 1.5 hrs of fireworks. This is My, Your, Our Nation. Lots of patriots gave their lives to make America free. Obviously that is a Non Stop job. We are a Good Nation. We are not racist. We salute our Flag. We work, we serve and we own this country. United Together for the greater GOOD. Thanks Derrick Jessica and boys. We Enjoyed the show

Jessica. That Monte Carlo is you..... also, I like how everyone gets there own bottle of Black Velvet! lol

It’s actually nice to see some down home family content. Some of us are missing this kind of interaction in our lives unfortunately. This is a great channel so far and its’ genre is perfect for us down home fans. 👍🏻

It's great to see good ole American familiana is still around . If every family could be like yours, the world would be a better place.

Derek you have a good ole boy family. Backbone of America. Working folks. What this country is represents

Always said, "The family that detonates together resonates forever."

"What are you up to?" "Not much, bush-hoggin with the Murray."

I really appreciate seeing you and your family enjoying the 4th to the fullest! Enjoy seeing the boys jump in there, helping wherever they see the need, probably like their father. Jessica and Derek, you produce amazing content and pure entertainment, without nudity, wasting major amounts of $$$, or crazy stunts, showing American family values, using what you have, fixing it if possible, showing contentment and enjoying life. Always a pleasure to watch the VGG and VGL channels. I appreciate your patriotism as well. You have my support. God Bless you all!

Thanks, Derek. Thats just what an old fella needed. To see some good ole family time together. Livin the "merican dream..

That wasn’t just ‘content’ - it was more than that. Thank you for letting us share your holiday and your family. It brought me back to simpler times. It was much appreciated. All the best to you and yours…

A guy and a gal have got a great life, (thru hard work and dedication to each other and family),God is good to us isn't he,again,Thankyou for sharing your 4th with us.

Ahhh, so nice for a change! Thank you for sharing what America, and family is supposed to be. God bless you and yours, and God Bless America. We need it!!

My favorite show! I love this channel. It’s got suspense, comedy, a hot babe and good old fashioned family fun! 😂 thank you for all your hard work to make us laugh while learning something.

Those 3 boys are having the time of their lives , blessings from the U.K.

I love how you look in your wife's basket and you say way over budget she says I have a stack on the counter hehehe

The next 15 - 20 years will go by fast. This video is a family keeper and will be watched for years.

A Feller and his Gal REALLY enjoy watching a guy, gal and youngins 💞 Makes a heart happy to see you all having a GREAT time 💞 Thank you ALL ✌🏼

"Where'd ya even find this lighter?" "I found it buried in the ground like a month ago..." HA!!!

Your family is the embodiment of what freedom and faith is all about. I hope you guy's thank god everyday for your blessings. Also , seeing you get the lawnmower stuck was hilarious

Wow that is a large budget for fireworks for the whole family nice little haul if goodness and fun Derek @8:05 @ViceGripLodge

Guy better make a call!!! Matt’s off road recovery!!! LOL LOVE YOUR FAMILY DEREK. True American patriot!!!

The cheek poker 2000 in the WiFi drill is the best dang idea I have seen in years of KZfaq vidjas. My grill will soon be cleaner than an operatin room

After a long emotional, stressful and heartbreaking day this turned a guy right back around. You guys are just lovely. Thank you for sharing your positivity, It really does travel around the world!

these kids have the best parents and property to grow up on country acres, off roads, wrenching, bad ass cars love it!

Big shout out to Jessica...raising four boys is a lot of work. 😀

Derek and Jessica doing it right and making great memories for your boys. My kids are both in their twenties now, it went so fast I wish I could get a do over. Enjoy every minute

I'm takin' notes Dereck. You're the kind of father/husband I want to be when I get there.

Thanks for the invite I and 226k viewers enjoyed it,kids got baskets...that’s scary, I remember those days

There's a local guy by me that tests a bunch of fireworks and he only sells the best of the best. And if you spend over $100 he puts you in a drawing. We're spent $150 and more than doubled our mortars with the drawing. I love that guy

"My state doesn't let me celebrate freedom" I died a little inside.

"Thats gonna start a fire..." best way to start a video ever.

Family time is precious....Kids grow up so fast....enjoy every waking moment... Wonderful family you have :)

Old school Americana. Some of the best stuff on this channel are when you do the music montages with music from your childhood. 70's 80's guitar and electrodigicals? PERFECT 👌

This video made me smile. Such a great family. Don't ever stop what you're doing. God bless.

“I forgot about the forks.” I about died laughing. Love all your content.

When I think of the "American dream ", this video demonstrates what I imagine the most fulfilling American dream is! And Derek, you, my friend, are living it to the fullest. God bless you, the wife, the boys , your extended family and the rest of this Great nation!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅 and for Ben Franklin 🦃🦃

This channel just gives and gives and then gives some more. Stay with me on this one. Gonna take a while. My father was a HUGE fireworks fan. He’d buy everything they offered at whatever stand we’d end up at. It was always epic. Guy at the stand would always give a deal because it would just be a huge pile of fireworks. He loved to see me and my siblings just go crazy at the fourth. He was a WWII vet, loved this country, loved family, loved people of all kinds and taught all six of his kids to love the same things. Anywho, he’s been gone for 4.5 years now and everything in this video represents stuff we did as kids with my dad. We had go karts, tractors, mini bikes, lawnmowers, balsa wood gliders and property to do all this stuff on. We were full send 24/7-365…just like this family here. I miss my dad, mostly around the 4th. Derek and his family have brought back all those fantastic memories to a feller. Yep. Perfect.

Yes! Pure fun with America's greatest family!!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Boy Jessica's accent really comes out when she's enjoying life, I wonder what other people think of how we sound, I went to a big city hospital once and the nurses kept asking us if we were from Canada no just the UP

"slap ya mama" wtf? a guy from England just spat out his beer! Derek, you are simply the best. Cheers!

Massive smile on my face watching the Bieri fam enjoying there day...... engaged 😃

Fun fact. 1982 Volkswagen engine blocks are made of magnesium. Can light up a 40 acre field like it’s daytime if you throw one on a bonfire. Also impossible to extinguish. Give it a try sometime

It's a shame families like these are a dying breed, almost extinct. Gives you a smidgen of hope, oh nope it doesnt... happy to see it, always be you and never change! No matter the money or the fame. What you have now is PRICELESS!

how authentic yt is that. he enjoys the 4th with the fam and posts it when he gets around to it.

It doesn't matter if it's content over on VGG or here at the Lodge, but you guys consistently put out the most enjoyable content. You're family is great and there's nothing like spending good quality time with them while you can. Keep it coming Derek!

I got 2 things from this video, 1. AMERICA 2. 17 people need punched in the face for giving it the thumbs down. Thank you Derek and Jessica!

I did not expect to see “slap ya mama” that far north.

Totally enjoyed the Black Velvet humor. 😁 You're so lucky to be able to capture this for eternity for the kids to enjoy when they get older. Grandpa took a lot of Kodachrome slides when we were little kids and I got them all now. That's going to be a fantastic memory for the kids. ..... I'm including you everybody knows you're a kid too. Click your heels together and say: There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home. I think most of us that wash it felt like we were there with you, I just can't smell the burgers. 😉

You are a blessed couple, Derek and Jessica!! You two are raising your kids right, and you can see all the love right there you have for one another. Great video, those fireworkolaters were amazing, and the eats were to along with Jessica's cake, I'll be making one of those this weekend!! Thanks guys!!!

Nice to see kids active and not having their head buried in a cell phone.

Something about a fella enjoying his family, and independence... Oh! And the old b.v..

Did I America on Independence Day ? Yes I did, but I America each and every day. A feller and a gal has to be thankful that they live in such a wonderful country. Thanks Derrick and Jessica for instilling family values on your tiny humans. Another great video and God Bless America !!

Great show guys. American independence is what if’s all about. Freedom

Good thing a feller had enough left in the ol budget for a few bottles of Black Velvet.

Lots of equipment operators use the hydraulically actuated moving parts to push themselves unstuck.

That’s what I call enjoying life ! Family time and happiness ! The best thing! Great to see y’all enjoy your family time ! Looked great

I always like revisiting your videos. This one didn't disappoint. Its got road rage, nature, explosions and good family fun. No one left out.

You and your family are just really special, especially for this "Challenged life" we are living these days Derek. You all bring a big smile to so many faces with your content. Thanks a big bucket full!

Thanks for sharing your family’s 4th of July with us! Us Canadians really respect your Patriotism 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

What a wonderful video about a great family celebrating the 4th of July. Jessica and Derek, you two are awesome parents. The world needs more like you.

Every day is America Day! Awesome family! Thanks for sharing your day, always love celebrating this fantastic country! You know, feels and stuff.🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

This family oriented content is just amazing, thank you for letting us spend some time with you and your family during your holiday!

Anyone else get the Joe Dirt vibes by him naming off fireworks at the start? lol

I am a fireworks junkie! So that was most excellent my dad was a fireworks junkie also proving the Apple does not fall from the tree! I haven’t done fireworks 💥 for many years mostly because of living in states such as California & Colorado which limits or totally negate the use of fireworks 🎇 a sad state of affairs seeing as how it is a wonderful tradition here in the United States to blow stuff up, especially during the 4th of July celebration of “ Independence Day “🇺🇸💥🎇💥🇺🇸……..thank you for inviting us all along with your family 4th of July celebration! Being a Marine veteran I salute all my brother and sister veterans for their sacrifice and service for enabling us to enjoy this great nation we live in 🇺🇸…..Regards Mad Mike S. …………..

Keep up the family values and teach them children well. God Bless America... Thank you for inviting us into your lives....

Of course that 4wheeler has been great.. it’s a Honda..

A bottle of Black Velvet for every member of the family. That's an equal opportunity family right there. Had me a Black Velvet phase, up in Kanada.

Fer next time... Bring one of those arch shaped back n forth sprinkler deals. Set it up where you're gonna light the fireworks, turn it on and let the kiddos play in it for a while and get the grass all wet. Then when you set one off sideways it won't burn....as bad. Just a tip from a guy who set 22.5 acres on fire when he was 15 with m80s we smuggled in from South of the Boarder.

Awesome firework show Derek and Jessica looks like you all and the kids had blast @ViceGripLodge

I think Derek may own stock in Black Velvet. Seems like a good investment. Especially in these days.. I didn't see any chaser or viscosity thinner or as that goes Ice. Tough as nails, I tell you. Thank you for sharing your Independence Day with us. God bless you and your loved ones

Yeah, burried the JD2440 some years back, i had the bush hog on it as well. Right down to the bellie pan. Had to pull the mower off with my other tractor. Had to call a friend in town and a neighbor and my Wife to pull me out. when it was all said and done we had a Jeep with a 12,000# winch and my Ford 841 diesel tractor and my Ford diesel 4x4 truck on it to get it out. Go big i say and get the whole neighborhood envolved.

Watching this video gives this 72 year old vet we still have a chance . God bless you and yours Deric

Very interesting how this family touches so many people. These are the kind of things my parents did when I was a kid. The fireworks were fun. Loved that cake!

Happy 4th of July to all my fellow Americans. I live in a state where this kind of fireworks aren't allowed. Thanks for sharing with us all!

Also, the amount of black velvet consumed matches the length of grass a man attempts to mow.

i love the way your sons are so respectful to you, and Jessica, well she is just damn gorgous

Any wife that requests tanks is a keeper. Gotta love Wisconsin when it comes to buying fireworks. We have all year round stores and practically one on every block in towns and cities
