Pretty amazing how a skilled operator can make it look like the machine is almost alive and doing the work on it's own while the operator is just along for the ride.
Andrew - “oh there’s a tree in the road, let me just take care of this real quick” Me - “oh there’s a tree in the road, looks like I’m going back home to lay in bed and watch Andrew Camarata videos”
@justamessenger That's happened to me, when you live in the country you can't always wait for some county worker to make it to your road, especially after a big storm and you need groceries or have to go to work or something. That was a little tree though...when you come up on a 3 or 4 footer it becomes a neighborhood project -)
@@factfinder4839 I can relate to that. In the Pacific northwest when the wind blows hard ...it's pack the saw going to into town ...chances are high you'll need it.
I only just watching this dude and I just can't stop watching his videos. No matter what the content deals with I'm fascinated. Andrew your the man ,a Andrew of all trades. God bless dude
Reasons to watch Andrews videos over T.V. Shows. 1- Who else puts a trampoline on a 20 ft roof. 2- Film angles, music, editing, narration is better than most Film makers. 3- Watching the Hitachi ex in fast motion is like watching a dinosaur tear into the guts of something 4- Probably a lot more. lol
All of that for sure. And the guy is constantly looking for ways to use his "toys" and clearly loves what he does. Not only that but he's absolutely fearless when it comes to tackling repairs or projects. Great respect. Plus I think it brings out the fantasy of many of us to be able to do big things with big equipment, and in such nice settings... Who sitting in a house on a 1/2 acre in town wouldn't dream of having a plot of land near the bottom of a mountain range surrounded by forest? And being able to start with untouched land and make our own castle and being able to make our imagination reality? Plus having nearly every tool known to man and the $ to do it. Must be a hell of a job just doing an inventory of all his stuff. Must be fun at tax time too. ha.
a few years back (i am female and was probably late 50s) a tree fell over the road where i live. This was almost in the smoky mountain national park. Park rangers parked on each side warning people to turn around. I asked how big the tree was and they said BIG. So i went and looked. the biggest part of the tree was about 6 inches. I had an old bow saw in the back and i started sawing. Finally some nice men started helping and it wasnt long before we had it cleared. The 6 inch part lay flat on the road and we couldnt get that but the cars could drive over it. Cars started driving over and continuing on down the road. I LOVED the face of the ranger on the other side wondering how the heck we did that. CITY KIDS!!!!
It's more a specialization mentality. A guy has a job in the woods and he's not taught how to use a saw, or if it's his job to use one. Are fallen trees the purview of the Forest Dept. Or is it the Dept. of Forestry? Help if you can and don't do any harm. I think the first thing they teach people is how to turn traffic around. People are forgetting their roles in life. If you saw a person on fire, would you call the fire dept. or put it out yourself? Gee, let's think.
I like the longer vlogs. Your camera work and editing is smooth. As I like the sound of machinery working maybe a bit less time lapse. Thanks for all the time you put into making these films.
Expectation: Andrew cutting a single tree blocking the road. Reality: A whole lot more. Conclusion: Andrew never fail to deliver and go the extra mile to provide a better service~~
@Derek Charette You speak wisdom here. People are so vain, they only want brand new stuff and don't mind getting into debt over it. Then they are always broke because of all the interest they pay. I like Andrew's way, get used stuff that might need some TLC, then fix it up and use the hell out of it.
Dude I am very impressed! I have never, never ever seen someone so young as you with your hard working skills and ambition! You really need to be sponcered by theses companies and they should give you all brand new equipment and truck! God bless!
Andrew, you can;t beat life out in the country doing custom land work. I admire your knowledge base and self taught skills. You are a master of all trades. I grew up, in the sixties, with a couple of old army D7's on the Alaska Highway around Dawson Creek BC. The country was full left over operators and road builders from the Alaska Highway Construction. I grew up learning custom land work, road building and land clearing. I had all the training to do it throughout my teens, as my uncle had a couple of army D7's and Alis Chambers HD5s, and my dad was a auto mechanic by trade. He was always wielding and monkey wrenching and trying to make do with those old machines. He did his own repairs and wielding. I practically did a whole automotive apprenticeship by the time I was 15 too. All the best and keep up the hard work. Leon
Never having lived in the North, does the weather cut into your earning ability. Great Channel ! Love Sadie, she knows how to stay out of your way. And she listens to you.
I've been watching a bunch of them, as soon as I get one done, I can't stop there...gotta start another one! You are making some great content here! I bet you're well over 100,000 subscribers by this time next year.
Just want to say that you have a super awesome place! Keep up the great work and nice to know that there is good people still out there helping others.
Great video Andrew, thanks for taking the time to make them. I know it isn't easy, esp. with all the different camera angles and whatnot. Also, I liked the PoV Excavator cam, that was neat! Hope you have a nice Easter.
The little PC 15 can punch above its weight! Oh, and your videos are never too long, apart from the fact I should be outside doing stuff too, instead of sitting in front of the computer watching videos.
Man your like the everyday man we all are! It’s life...the daily task trials and tribulations. Really enjoy your videos with my morning coffee. My life is surprisingly similar. Cheers man
I love the work you do it is so satisfying to watch, but I also love how you bring your dog he is so cool, loyal and hilarious! U built a little pond once and there was like 1 foot of muddy water and he just sat in it !
Andrew I truly look forward to any of your videos and how well you work. I love those dogs also they seem to know when to get out of your way. Also be careful and work smart or I don’t get to watch the master at work... Mike
I like the way you clean up stuff out in the woods. Yes you cut the logs up for a reason but instead of leaving the rest of the brush and stumps to rot you clean that up and burn it. It keeps your land looking good to.
Your videos are Never too long!!!.. thankyou for your great videos and the quality of your editing, and how you explain what you are doing.. most other peoples videos do not explain or edit.. Thanks again..
Was loading rock all day with the excavator. Came in and saw your video. Really enjoyed it. I have a John Deere 490D which is that same as a Hitachi 120.
490D is an awesome machine. Mine is an 89' model and has over 10,000 hours on it. Runs and operates as good as ever. A few oil leaks, and not as pretty as it used to look.
have been watching you for a bit now and wonder where you get the knowledge to do all the things you do .I. m inpressed to say the least .love your videos . keep em coming ..from On. Canada
Gifted lol no just means he is willing to learn like the rest of us... Ppl now days quick to pay than take a few moments to learn and do for ones self.. That's not a gift it's called using the mind u were born with!
That’s the weather when you get a roaring log fire going ,some good food ,wine and put some music on or you jump in the orange hitachi digger and go and clear up some fallen trees . Count me in !
4:38 When you have to lay on the horn because the idiot helping you ain't paying attention and is about to wreck your vehicle for you. Been there. Luckily, my tow rope broke while I was mashing the brakes, because he never stopped. He just drove on home, oblivious that he almost pulled me into a stand of trees.
Maybe carry a couple tug straps in your rig. Better to tug on a strap than that chain. The chain might pop and brake your rear widow. Great videos, keep up the good work 👍🏻
your vids are great-top notch -but having owned a trampoline for many years i can tell you that a roof -with that height - is the most dangerous place i think you could place it. Someone is bound to take the quick way down. stay cool and excavate on .
When you took us up to the top of your castle, I could see some of the trees bend a long ways up like mid tree making it possible to snap in middle of tree instead. Wind blows there gives new ideas on how to stay safe.... on to the utility pole
Good morning my friend, I don't know why but I can't get notifications of your new videos, anything teaches me there, okay? Thank you very much, have a nice day and a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family.
I appreciate your work ethics and problem solving American can do spirit. Not so much of the few videos with heavy metal style music. If open to suggestions the more soothing the better, doesn't run roughshod over everything else.
You must be able to see your big fires at night from 32 or 212! Wonder is some one could video the view from there for you or send the drone up and out....thanks for sharing Andrew!
omg Andrew that dodge is hammered....I love it! lolCool that you able to salvage those trees and hopefully make a couple bucks off of em as well.I thought you were going to rip your suv in half yanking on that dead maple in the road, those gas engines don't pull nearly as well as the diesels!
Great cleaning project! Be careful when placing big trunks on top of weaker ones. If you set them on fire or if the big trunks start to go down they'll be like a train heavy non stop easy. Even if you're in a machine the impact won't be something nice to experience. I rather place always the heaviest things on the ground or carry them as close to the ground as possible to avoid mayor accidents. Even if you cut the trunks in pieces, those cuts you don't want them rolling down a fire pit and worst if they're set on fire bro. Take care! I know you're very cautious. I'm just letting you know am alert here lol.
Andy, you have sooooooooo much junk wood. Perfect for an outdoor firewood boiler system to heat your home and work-shop. And have plenty of HOT-WATER.😊
