Leaving Law Enforcement [maybe] and Starting a Lawn Care Company in 2021

I’ve been a full time police officer for almost a decade now. Needless to say, things are different today, and having a plan B isn’t a bad idea (for any career really). For 2021 I’ve turned my side hustle into a legitimate business and I’m exploring some opportunities that seem to be presenting themselves. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit and I think I’ve found the right niche for it! ...

Could you tell me where this is
This is the chequamegon-nicolet national forest in WI
You can order extra blades, they are easy to change. I think they are about $50.
Make the music louder
Great setup… I have almost the same. The 48 is perfect for me as well.
Great gun!
All the same gear that a normal civilian carries daily! Pretty simple. Actually I carry two firearms .
Look at me with my 33” tires on my cheap ass ford let me guess your name is Daryl and your wife is also your first cousin ?
what do you carry now?
Sick EDC ! Question.... Do you display your badge while off duty ? also can officers display their badge ( carry on belt or neck ) when out of jurisdiction and off duty ?
Needs scissirs
Good work good job
thanks for the upload , so useful and nice choice of wheels !!!
Very nice ! 👍🏻 It’s always fun trying a new set-up 😁 … enjoy it man !
did you have to drill into the truck bed?
Thank you. I need to do just this. Would you tell me how that rubber/pvc trim cap on the bed wall comes off? Seems like there are 4 clips below.. but figured I'd ask before I tear it up!
You just have to pop them off like other trim with tabs. I’d recommend making sure it’s warm out. I did mine when it was cold and broke a few tabs.
@@OptimalLM Thanks for the tip of doing it in warm weather..
Music is way too loud
The truck has been Mexicanized 🇲🇽
Pretty good idea if you ask anyone
Can you do a vid of the removal of the rail bed caps ? pls
Did you find out?
How did you pull off the caps that cover those holes for the 2x4?
I removed the entire trim piece along the bed.
You got to get the mos my guy .
I’ve got a 17 and 19 with the MOS. Also great choices.
Does your truck have a leveling kit or stock? Great setup btw
It’s stock, never ended up leveling it.
Love the setup
Thanks!
I was wondering if the sign on the door is a magnet or sticker as i have the same truck and it alumium
It’s a vinyl sticker
Tent campers must camp at least 150 feet from any road or trail.. vehicles can only be parked up to 30 feet off of the road.. not supposed to camp with your vehicle bud
Now! that's the way to stay busy in the winter months!!!!! Good video man!!!!!!
Thanks!
Is the box removable? I have a 2019 Ford F-150 that I use for business and personal use. Could I easily take it down and put it back up as needed?
Great vid. How is this holding up? Did you ever end up putting lag bolts in those pockets to secure the wood to the truck? Or not needed?
Thanks! It’s holding up surprisingly well. I didn’t end up needing lag bolts, once I secured all the pieces together and the cross piece above the tailgate it secured itself pretty well.
@@OptimalLM nice thanks! Do you have any issues driving at highway speeds without it bolted into the bed? Or is it sturdy enough at those speeds?
@@ethoslawnmaintenance5452 no issues at all
Be careful about this company, their OTFs are made over seas then shipped to US for sale. I understand the price is nice, but purchase a mircrotech/benchmade and support american made products. I would never buy a Keltec if I can afford a Sig Sauer. I would never replace Surefire for an amazon light...etc
Wingman has scissors and robust SPRING LOADED pliers
I’ve been watching your videos recently. I’m going through the same thing wether or not I want to stay at my full time job or go full time lawn care. Granted I don’t have a wife or kids and I still live at home, was hoping to buy a house next year. But when did you say enough was enough? A lot of people tell me to stay for the benefits and insurance, but I know I love doing lawncare. Thanks!
Thanks for watching. I made the final decision after my second was born and I took two months off of work to focus on the family and my business. Made me realize how much opportunity there was in it and have been glad I made that decision. Wish I would’ve done it sooner.
@@OptimalLM thanks! I hope I can do the same!
yeah I don't know why everything is 20 inch now it's too big 17 18 is big enough
I have the exact truck, I also I’m getting that tire. What is the reason for getting a 17” rim over the stock size ? Pros, cons ?
I like the look of the 17” wheel and it gives you a lot more sidewall for airing down if needed on a trail.
Of all the Leatherman tools, the Skeletool is the worst one.
You have a link where you bought them at
where's the donut holder?
Does the extra rubber give it more cushion
I’ve got the same truck, anyway we can get the wild peaks on the original 20 inch wheel?
I'm surprised they rub tbh. I've heard of guys running this tire size on 17s with no lift or level with a 0 offset and not rubbing. I planned on running this tire and rim size on 6+ offset expecting to not rub. Guess I'll find out at some point lol.
It's good to be a solo oper, been a while since i could say that!

Was having doubts about my lawn business. I currently work in law enforcement (midnights) and have all the equipment just need more accounts. Saw your videos and it inspired me to keep pushing and making this business of mine grow. Good luck with yours.
Awesome, glad to hear it! I feel you on the night shift….worked it for 7 years or so. Keep it up with the business, the sky is the limit!
If you don’t mind asking how much was the grand stand with bucket? Thanks! Looking forward towards your future blogs.
The grandstand was $14.2k and the bucket was $2.2k. I also bought the dethatcher, bagger, and powervac so I got a fleet discount of about 25% on everything.
@@OptimalLM thanks for the info, i was been looking at one of this with mulch force. That’s not bad with 25% off. I have too wait for my 2022 toro z master series 2000 that I won from Spencer lawn care. Waiting for it to arrive here.
Looking good! If you run a length of pipe on that top front cross bar you can keep a tarp rolled up and ready to be pulled out to cover partial loads without having to re tie between jobs.
Thanks! I’ll be putting it to work this week. Good tip, I’ll see what I can do for the pipe/tarp idea.
Growing up on a a ranch in Arizona, this is a serious kit. I’m sure you can make one cheaper. I gave it to my girlfriend and her parents for Christmas. Because it’s pretty complete.
I’m a big fan of this one. Add an item or two of your own and it’s good to go.
What brand is that badge/ID case?
Thats exciting bro going to be a great year
I’m planning for a big one! Have a great season and thanks for the sub!
Congratulations on your new venture. I can,as I’ve stated before to you, fully understand your early departure from police work. It appears you are on your way to be successful with motivation and very nice equipment. Good luck with the new job and I hope it’s everything you want. I vividly remember your edc and beer tasting videos, you need to post more.
Thanks Tom! I will definitely be getting back to those videos as well, now that I’ll have a little more free time. Thanks for sticking around!
Nice vid!
Thanks for watching!
