Fun-sized Adventures
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 พ.ค. 2007
What's up? I'm Jeff. Welcome to the backyard.
I’m always on the lookout for ways to bring some adventure to our otherwise average yard so my kids will want to spend time outside.
But as a parent money can be tight.
That’s why I spend countless hours researching to find toys and equipment that are high quality but low cost.
Sometimes to save money I even end up building things myself.
Then I boil down everything I learn into this channel so parents like you can save money and time.
Your kids are only young once so let me help you reclaim a few hours of that precious time so you get out together in your own backyard and have a Fun-sized adventure of your own.

I have the Cannondale trail six hardtail it is so nice
Nice! I got a Diamondback Line a couple years ago. Having the right equipment definitely adds to the fun!
I’m building trail from top of mountain to the Bottom of the holler and it’s super sick and I’m still clearing it out by hand I’ve cleared under half a mile so far it’s going great I hope yall stay in the sport it’s very relaxing and if h do happen to stay into it u can find some nicer bikes that ain’t that much but ur bike I very cool tho happy trails
Awesome! My trails are slowly expanding. Here’s the most recent update I made but it’s a couple years old. th-cam.com/video/CakJOujpV8c/w-d-xo.html This year I’m planning another expansion.
funny review lol, thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
You’re Welcome!
What size buckets and what inch bungee cord did you use for the stilts?
These are 2 gallon buckets and 12” bungees I believe but you could go bigger or smaller depending on what you have.
What a great fun video. My mother in law got me one of the cheaper versions and I thought what a strange gift. I never ever expected to use it as much as I do. Game changer!
Definitely! Balloon, pool floats, air mattresses.
First of all, the beginning of the video reminded me of the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" children's book. 🤣😂 Second of all, I think I see a side hustle in your future.......Clown.🤡🤣😂
That’s what I was going for. (The book reference, not the side hustle)

Good video!
Halfway decent comment… 😂
This is fantastic! Subbed and liked! Would it be ok to use a play house as one of the anchors?
Thanks! I would need to know more about the play house but the only ways that would be ok would be if the play house was well constructed (at least 4x4 lumber) and either extremely heavy or cemented to the ground. Always remember to have an adult do the hang tests on the line before it gets used. If anything moves that shouldn’t, don’t use it.
Thanks for the video! I cannot visualize in the final part the video you recommend to create the right tension without this kit… could you please link it? Thanks!
You’re welcome! Here are some links: This one shows how to get it tight without any special tools: th-cam.com/video/q32DKlxhJno/w-d-xo.html & this one shows you how to do it using a basic ratchet strap: th-cam.com/video/pw3S28sWbZA/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps!
I don't have grass, its artificial at mine haha. No grass, no trees, no nature😢
☝️This is why my ancestors left your shores. 🤣 At least there’s fresh air out there I hope.
Good video, thanks Jeff and all excellent job as always! Wish you a very happy new year of 2025.
Thanks Jonny. You too!
Looks great 👍
Thanks! It came together nicely.
Happy New Year guys!!!!
You too!
Why can't you just leave the ratchet strap?? I need a solution I can put up in one day and take down the next day.
Check out this video, in the second half I explain the best way to do that: Take a ZIPLINE down FAST! (& put it back up FASTER) th-cam.com/video/pw3S28sWbZA/w-d-xo.html

Great comment!

Going out there barefoot might be thrilling though…..?

Jeff, we laughed so hard watching u set up ur zip line in the rain storm. It was great and very helpful deciding which zipline to get. Thanks jeff
You’re welcome! I remember thinking that video would be a little too specific and maybe boring but then that storm rolled in . 🤣
Thanks for the video, went to a shop today and the employee tried getting me to buy $1500 worth of gear for me and my 6 year old son lol.
😆 I get comments on this video from people who are deep into archery saying I should check out a certain bow instead and then it’s like $300. 🤦♂️I can be like that with bikes though so I get it but at the same time you have to figure out if you actually enjoy a hobby first.
This is very helpful. I really appreciate the way you established the context of when and where they will be helpful.
Thanks for reaching out. I’m glad you found this video helpful!

Very touching video. Wishing you a great year.
Thanks! Taking a little break right now while I plan it out.
I subscribed when I heard 4 boys. 😂 I only have 2 and it’s already feel like a lot 😂
Two felt like a lot for me as well. 🤣 it’s like, in the moment parenting always seems hard. It’s only in hindsight that you realize when it was easier.
@ haha exactly
i sent mine back for a refund
I just picked my kid up a Vaast Y24 300 on sale 10 speed 11-42T Hydraulic brakes Dual disc Suntour 24 air fork Was a freaking steal
That’s awesome!
They don't include instructions so they can blame you for any errors.
🤣🤣🤣 I recently got the latest kit from this company and they had very detailed instructions so whatever the cause they seem to have rectified it. Weird side note: they actually use this video and others I’ve made on their website to explain how to assemble it.
This was fun. Except the part where you almost threw a stone at your house 😂
No houses were harmed in the filming of this production.
Happy Birthday to Fun-sized adventures! And also Merry Christmas to you and yours! It had been an absolute blast being part of your journey as a viewer and friend. Great things are ahead!!
Thanks Jason! Merry Christmas to you as well!
New sub here. I love your videos. I’m a newish mom to 2 boys & still growing my family. I am a gardener at heart, but I want my yard to be enjoyed by ALL.
Thanks for the comment! We like to plant the garden every spring but it turns out none of us like to do the upkeep. 🤣
Good video!
Better comment.
What an amazing video, 5 years have flown by and a great way to tell the story whilst packing things away for the winter. Merry Chrismas!!!
Thanks Ashley and Merry Christmas to you!
Thanks Jeff for all excellent videos done in the past which helps people to enjoy great fun and participates in backyard adventure activities! Good job as always and we love it. God bless you and your family and wish a healthy and fruitful 2025.
Thanks Jonny! Looking forward to the new year!
great video as always!! so glad that we are part of your friends circle. as the matter of fact, you are the only friend we made and still in touch in youtube channel hahahaha. God bless you guys!! More blessings in 2025.
Thanks and you too! I remember coming across your channel way back then and I could tell that you were going to eventually blow up.
Five years! Congratulations.......I remember those early days, and you're right it was a grind. I don't know where this whole TH-cam thing will take us over the next 5 years, but It's been fun watching your channel these past five years.
Onward and upward! I think you and me both have finally found our stride and it’s gotten easier with more results. Maybe once a little more money is flowing we can take a big road trip and meet up with all the TH-cam friends!
Where do I find the original video of the guy crashing into tree?
Here: th-cam.com/users/shortsbDC0eYA2J0w?si=kTj9wbMibIrcLiDt I couldn’t deduce the original poster to give credit. The video has been shared from multiple accounts.
Thanks
You’re welcome!
🎉 Your son looks so excited 😂. I'm definitely getting this for my son.. Thanks for the detailed review man.
You are welcome! (I asked him to be quiet while I was filming and he wasn’t excited about it.🤣)
My nephew is 10 and little shorter than your boy. Will this suit him for a year or more?
Definitely! While I don’t yet have an adult sized bow for comparison, I use this one all the time myself and don’t feel like it’s lacking. At least when it comes to basic short range target practice.
@@FunsizedAdventures I own the x8 and a long bow from sanlida. Thanks, I'll order this and you might consider the x8 for yourself 🎯👍
Will it hold up to pulling behind a sxs?
Probably…. Well within reason. 🤣 Assuming you don’t crash it into rocks at 30 mph or something like that.
4x6x12 in San Francisco costs $45.
Yikes! Plus installing a swingset on those hills can’t be easy. 🤪 Seriously though, lumber prices can fluctuate a lot.
Had our trampoline for almost 10 years now. It's definitely paid itself back to us and more. Our winters aren't as harsh as yours though
Definitely! Probably closer here to the conditions on top of Mam Tor. 🤣
excellent job! So wonderful that you spend time with your kids doing such fun projects.
Thanks! This was a fun project for sure.
oh i love the new edit @0:15
Can you tell I was editing this when that Final Cut update dropped. 🤣
What other trampoline content would you find helpful?
