Nobody else on UA-cam I'd rather watch, came for the cars stayed for the whole family and Derek's sense of humour, big love to the vice grip clan
You're whole family is great! You and Jessica are teaching the boys so much. There's a lot of families who have no idea what they are doing .You two are doing it right❤
You're on a UK TV channel, Road Worthy Rescues, you've made it world wide Derek, well done!
A feller loves this channel
Thank you, Derek, for being a Grade A father and husband!!!❤
Always great to see a dad working cohesively with his young men in training. Keep up the Great work Derek and Jessica
There was a law written many moons ago that states "as soon as you light a fire we will send the winds to push it away from where you want to burn"......It was great to see the whole family pitching in helping to get the place all gussied up. Looks like you and Jessica deserved a cold beverage after it was all done.
Is that the same law that causes bonfire smoke to follow me no matter where I am around the fire?!?!
@Vy:)
Smokey is always trying to tail grab me!
@@bodarville2510 Maybe snowman can cool things down.
It's not so implausible, because the fire creates an updraught of hot air, so the air rushes in to fill the gap. We had the same effect when working in corn fields, all of a sudden a dust devil would take off, sucking winds in from 50 yards away. ( those were the days, before combine harvesters were invented..!)

Awesome seeing the kiddos handle the vehicles/ machinery 😁
Love seeing what a feller has going on around the homestead.
Good hard working kiddos
Thank you so much Derek. I was feeling low. I lost my dad a couple years ago. Your old school. I respect that. We need more guys like you these days. Thank you 😊
You got a massive mound of Pot ash for the garden now Derek @Vice Grip Lodge
Your boys work like we did as youngsters. Great to see. As a farm kid growing up in Wisconsin we always fought with the tree rows. In 5 years you get to do it again lol
The gift that keeps on giving…
More fire
Seeing your youngest drive that ramp truck like he's done it eleventy billion times was right on. Love seeing videos from The Lodge. Keep 'em coming!
Amazing to see how they've grown right before our eyes! I remember when they couldn't see over the steering wheel or reach the pedals.
Absolutely loved that shot with the boys riding in the ramp truck with Jessica sitting in the back too 😇🙏🏻
You got some good boys most kids these days would cry if you asked them to work like that, good job boys !
Your little humans worked hard! So nice to see them drive trucks and cars like when we where young! Loved that Derek!❤
Very calming and relaxing to see everyone working together...and not yelling at each other! T. Y.!
Agreed, this would never succeed as a reality show, too much kindness, respect, and good morals.
Love the fact u spend so much time with ur boys and miss Jessica! Such a beautiful family! I try so hard to spend every min I can with my kids. When I was diagnosed with cancer I realized how precious it was to spend every min I could with the kids and grandkids. Life’s to short and even min matters!
Nothing like clearing land w your boys!! Very important in developing men
As a former TN resident. I see all that poison ivy and itch just watching, I think I got it just watching.
I hope you all are immune!!
I love clearing land.
You are all doing an amazing job!
If you’re talking about what he pats at the beginning it’s Virginia Creeper.
You need someone with a forestry mulcher, short work of all that.
@@Mag_Aoidh actually Virginia creeper has 5 leaves
I saw poison Ivy in there. Didn't bother me as a kid, but I can't get anywhere close to it now.
@@marcusaurelius2770 I was immune until my mid 20's. Now if I get within 10 ft of it I seem to break out.
If you run a few ropes along your bed before you load up, makes unloading easy
Some of my most favorite memories as a kid are helping my Dad (& Grandpa & Uncle) cut wood for the winter and hauling away the brush. It was exhausting and we would be out in the snowy woods all day, but it taught me the value of family and hard work. Thanks for that trip down memory lane. ☺️
Watching your boys confidentiality driving all that equipment makes me realize that a may failing on my boys a bit. Now that mine is tall enough to operate a pickup, I took him out to so property to try it out and he was just too nervous....
It's hard living in the suburbs sometimes 😅
You know I love you and Jessica, but I think the boys are the stars of today’s adventure! Each one of them looked like they worked their tail off for the family. Awesome show!
That's my favorite Lee Sabre. The rescue with your boy, then all of the steps to resurrect her.... She's a power tour car, or one of the boy's first car. She deserves some fixing and onions....
Make sure to check for ticks. Last time I did some work clearing some brush I stumbled into a nest. Took me and my wife 20 minutes to get all those buggers off
Love the lodge channel Derek!
Thanks!
I’m a Jeremy of the 1982 variety myself…seen your name and had to comment lol 👍🏼
Hey Betty White Shirt seeing, love family work day supportive Bleep Boop
You have a great family. All chip in to help when needed! Goes to show great parenting!!!
Haven't seen the brush hog in ages and she fired right up no hesitate like a good old 70s chevelle
I love seeing the work you, Jessica, and the boys are doing on the old homestead. You gotta take advantage of that free labor before they're gone!
I love this channel even more than VG garage ... this brings me back 20 years to my childhood farm working with my Dad. I do wish he had lived old and we could have kept farming. Thanks Derek.
Family all working together to achieve a common goal ! Thumbs-up guys your doing a great job !
Cleaning up super well wow at the difference
those boys are something else...precious moments,cheerish and hold on to them because they grow up as fast as your grass grows...love the channel you all rock keep up the great content ,god bless you all
22:00 LOL. "Steady gentle breeze..." looks a lot like what cable weatherman call a "Hurricane force coming ashore."😄
Great video. It’s great to see the whole family out working together. The boys will one day look back at this memory with fondness. Thanks for sharing.
Coming from a Firefighter, it's huge that you're planning ahead and establishing a fire ring around your burn pile, instead of waiting for an oh sh*t moment, like a few others do. Your videos are always great, whether you're wrenching, or not. Thanks.
You my friend are a workaholic. An inspiration and a fantastic mentor, to I'm sure, many people including myself 👍
Every time I burn a pile and it’s a hey calm day. Then ad soon as light it up. Boom the wind picks up. Never fails
So good to see all the family pitch in together and the boys are skilled at driving tractors and vehicles! Looks like the weather cooperated too!
Your beautiful children, will ALWAYS remember working with you! The hard work, I did with my father, made me a better man!
Colorado
The boys are growing like weeds themselves. Glad to see you guys are doing things right and keeping them engaged in family things.
How refreshing to see parents raising boys, to be boys, when his son picked up the termite, that's awesome, and of course the dad response, lots of protein of you want to eat it, awesome.
Great to see the whole family mucking in and you definitely made that corner usable again. As soon as you lit the fire the fire gods summoned the fire winds.
Great job! Nice to see the boys and Jessica helping out. Some of my fondest childhood memories were doing stuff like this with my Dad! Your boys will never forget these times.
Love to see the family envolved. Building memories. Looks like those boys are really growing up. Great family video.
I got to say you have a wonderful family love to see the true roots of a family that works together ❤️
YOU AND FAMILY ARE SPECIAL SAFETY FIRST AMEN
Your boys are truly amazing young men and that is a testament to two amazing parents. You and Jessica are doing an amazing job, and should be very proud of yourself. To be honest, you both are an outstanding roll models for young parents. Keep up the great work.❤❤❤
That tire pressure sticker was referring to the spare tire that exists just above your belt and below your rib cage .
I like your methods for clearing brush better than the one that my dad instructed me to use. First, he showed me how to file an edge onto the axe. Then he gave me a pair of old work gloves . Instructions; Cut down all that brush, dead trees, and junk bushes, drag it over to that patch of bare Granite, pile it up as high as you can . We will burn it when the snow flies . Then he went back to following the doctor's order, recovering from the burn injury that he got at work .
Great to see the little guys helping out dad. They’re doing great on the tractor.
Nothing like good work! My wife and I just got done doing this on our property. Looks so good when its done!
Looks great! So much better than it was! I love watching Vice Grip Lodge equally as the Vice Grip Garage channel. ❤
Congrats Vice Grip and family on getting the old trees and brushes moved to the burn pile. great job Kids..
What an awesome family, everybody pitches in and gets a lot of work done. It looks so much better now.
It's great to see your son helping you
The boys really pulled thru on this one.. good to see they all work hard together as a team.. great job fellas
Derek you're so right about the wind picking up any time you start a burn pile, I can remember when I was a kid my Grandpa used to say it was proof that "God had a sense of humor" every time the wind picked up when we were burning.
Derek & Jessica- your kids are living their best lives! It warms my heart to see all the opportunities they have driving vehicles and all sorts of equipment. Well done !
While a guy enjoys a good fire seeing you and the boys working together you gotta smile at that and tell Jess to order some 5 x super sasquatch proud poppa t shirts
You gotta get that Lasabra fixed up!!😊
Those boys sure are good workers, just like their parents! Good to see a hard working family unit these days, makes an old feller happy
6:25 That's the car/video that turned me onto your channel back in the day. Still my favorite VGG car, probably... i dont know.
Awesome
Old long and strong square body crew cab still doin work…love them units
These videos just make me smile Derek, thanks for the upload. The lads are getting big !!
Makes a bloke feel good seeing you Derek out with the Ankle Biter’s and the Bride doing a bit of broad acre gardening 👍🇦🇺
So good! So American! Just fantastic to see you working with your Boys on the property. I did with my Dad and my kids now grown did with me. I think I remember those times working with Dad (I'm 66 now) more than I do vacations and such. Keep on keeping on!
What a great family video of everyone jumping in and clearing all that brush and trees and it makes it look so much better now and not so cluttered. We even got to see Bailey helping that's pretty rare for us viewers. Jessica mowing the grass Derek she's a keeper!
It's incredible how you manage your time Derek. Kudos to you and your family!
Good work, gents...... and lady!❤. Regards, Stephen.
You’re raising your kids right !!! You are a great father … they are hard working kids that didn’t complain so you should be proud … i am sure they loved driving the truck and tractor so that’s part of the reason they didn’t complain lol … god bless and stay safe
Just the kinda wholesome content a guy needed while taking a lunch break! Just got done doing some trail/property clearing at a buddies house on Saturday and gotta say it's definitely one of my favorite activities for clearing the mind and staying in shape. 🤙
good video, love to see the whole family working together. Tip for next time, use the excavator to push the trees over then pull the stump out with the whole tree.....saves a guy from messing with the chainsaw or touching the poison ivy or poison oak.
Love your content and your great personality. Look forward to meeting you one day..
Team VGG is an excellent crew. Nicely done.
At 20:21 poison ivy on the tree that Bradley is moving! Hope he washed his arms good!
Those younger humans have knees, spines, elbows, enthusiasm and everything that have a lot less miles on them. They really make a big difference on a job like this.
Have y’all ever considered adopting a full grown man:)?
Got to love when your burning Wood the wind randomly shows up out of no where everytime Nope it's aggrivating But it always happens Derek could be calm for months then randomly you get the wood pile ready and lighted and boom 5 minutes lady 5mph winds or more it's like nature sees us using fire and says yep let's nock them humans out @Vice Grip Lodge
Looks like a feller needs to do a dump truck revival.
Amen
Great working with the family like that. Diesel a little slower than gasoline but safer. Remember what Johnny Cash used to sing about, "That Burnin' Rang o' Far'".
U don't wanna be down wind of that smoke if there's any "poison Ivy" in that pile a burnin otherwise you will be one sick puppy!
Id love to see the Buick back in the garage. Its one of my favorite builds. Ive watched all the episodes several times.
The foot thing was never explained that I heard about. Was it what cleet was talking about getting burned
Yes. The crown Vic headers dumped heat onto the floor pan of the car, and burned the drivers who wore thinner shoes. 😬
Hi Derek and family 👪 nice video 📹 and workmanship!!!! Glad u cleaned up the yard I noticed on VICEGRIPGARARGE GARAGE
I like seeing the family out doing chores!
Great family effort. Great family!
Watch for poison ivy/oak and sumac
Gosh, this brings back memories.
My dad had four acres up on the Oregon Coast, out behind Fort Clatsop, and every winter, his house would get hit with some hellacious storms. He'd wait until we were visiting from Mom's house, and have us help limb trees. He'd round up everything with his John Deere excavator, push up the pile with his tractor (slightly bigger version of yours), then soak it all in a mixture of diesel and borax soap and light it off on a rainy day. *Big* honking bonfires.
Good times. Thanks for the flashbacks, Derek!
Also, diesel and borax soap: -Great- for burn piles; like napalm, but it doesn't flare. Burns -hot-, and lights off easily enough.
Poison Ivy?
A fellur is wondering if TN has the same kinda weather as OK, where there is the right mixture of moisture, dryness, and summer heat to cause hay and brush piles(the piles have to have an underlying compost layer) to just auto-ignite in July or August?
i sense poison ivy coming.
Good work! Derek, you need a Grapple for the Deere. Will make picking up all that brush effortless! Love to see those young men workin! It's so good for them!
A Guy has to be careful I see a lot of POISON IVY and POISON OAK
I gotta replay this for my wife when she gets home. She’s a pyro and can’t wait to see the fire🔥 Good Work Derek. Happy wife happy life.
We expect to see an update with how much you and the boys are covered in poison ivy
No one got any
You gave me an idea…. steel toed crocs! Well maybe not, fire is weird it actually makes it’s own wind when it’s big enough. I always liked clearing overgrown brush from property,looks so good when you’re finished makes you feel good and you can see what you’ve accomplished.
Feller knows how to get things done! Great work y’all
