@@jamiemorton113 that's an amazing series. There's a couple others also from the same detective. Pretty crazy. People just went missing. Experienced hunters and woodsman just gone.. well worth a watch!
Chris just wanted to thank you for the 40 minutes of video. I’m so addicted that I find I need at least 40 minutes a night or I go through withdrawals. What you feel is boring is mesmerizing to us. Keep up the great work!
I wonder if at the dinner table he swings at the waist and uses his spoon in mechanical motions. And obviously during thanksgiving puts mats under his chair.
I'm retired now from construction I used to be a utility inspector with the Big Gas Company up here in Ontario and I really enjoyed watching operations of the machines digging around gas mains and making sure they never hit him and I can sit here for hours watching you operate you're quite the operator smooth.😀👍👍🍁
WOW, you're really gonna need a bath for the Volvo when you get finished with this project. What a mess you got into with that sinkhole. Good thinking to move the rock into it for a better base to work around. As always, Chris, you have good plans in your head and you execute them perfectly.
You are one with the bucket.. Please keep these videos coming. I dont know how this wound up on my recommend list but im glad it did but now im hooked..I cant stop watching. Thanks for the great footage.
You know that's crazy that you would never think that someone would want to watch someone excavate. But watching Chris is like so calming. And he's so good with that excavator he understands common sense and I'm so happy to know that there's someone out there that still has common sense that operates large equipment I drive truck for a living and I see a lot of people without common sense. I guess that's one of the reasons why I'm subscribed to his channel is because he has a gift I've been watching Chris now for 5 years 6 years and one of the First videos that I ever was blown away with was when he went out to Vegas and he walked that excavator down a beam and he did it without even warming up or even practicing. I would say I have just about as many hours watching Chris as I do watching movies in the last 5-6 years and how I found Chris was watching him bust beaver dams I had a fascination with watching large bodies of water disappear. Now I have a fascination with watching Chris play in sinkholes and dig out ponds. Huge fan as long as he's making the videos I will continue watching them. I've never operated excavator I've operated front end loaders Bobcat tractors backhoes never an excavator I think it seems like it would be fun it would be like being a big kid in a much bigger sand box with the risk of sinking LOL
I had to hold my breath there a few time it looked like you were going swimming in mud... Amazing how your mind remembered after so many years and ponds that there was a sink hole off to the right! Your an amazing young man! Thank you for your time and talent🙃
Skilled tradesman are a dying breed sir. Drivers, welders, constructors of all kinds. It's amazing to these artists show the mastery of their crafts. I'm part of the millennial generation but I've been raised with the value of hard work and a wide range of skill sets. I've worked asphalt, turned wrenches and now I'm a driver and while in high school I built houses expecting that to be my trade until the market crashed in 08/09 and I had no work when I got out of school. It has saved me so much money being able to do just about anything myself and the satisfaction that comes with a job well done. Love watching your stuff sir. I haven't witnessed such finesse of an operator in one of these in a long while and getting the shots you do, really nails the fact home that you truly are as skilled as it looks to be from the outside. The tools are an extension of your body and it really shows. Also definitely love the smoothness in that Volvo's hydraulic system. I've used a lot of different brands here and there when I was doing asphalt and crisp, smooth hydraulic systems and controls are critical if you desire perfection and not visit the chiropractor on a weekly basis.
@@cody_janssen831 not very often at all in my experience and I have worked with excavations near large cities with obvious crime . This guy looks like he is in a pretty rural area that has affluence, so there isnt going to be that sort of thing.
The sink hole is one of two things either a man made silt trap or more likely an erosion feature caused by the culvert when spatting during or after very heavy rain.
We're going to need a bigger Bovine! You thought i was going to Type "Boat", as opposed, to "Bovine", unless, you did not, then, you are no fun and i will throw a Cowpie, in your general direction.
Chris you are a master at what you do so keep up the good work. You should do a video on all the machines you have in the business. Thanks for the amazing footage.
Just in case anyone was wondering. they've been located , and they are large and brass!! well done taking a machine that heavy into that situation. always love your videos thank you for sharing
I watched this on fast speed, simply because I enjoyed the poetry of watching the handling of this machine. The Volvo was an extension of the operator, so graceful.
Amazing what those machines can do! Great to see the decision making process and logistics of moving around in that stuff! I bet most ppl think you just dig out the mud. What happens if you get stuck!?!
You sir, have some mad skills for operating that machinery! After watching this and several other videos of it, I'm hooked... for some reason have always been interested in watching machinery like this do their thing, since i was s kid, and you have given me something more to armchair enjoy 😉... thank you! PS - nice bucket view!
I don’t give out to many complements!!! But I’ll say you are one hell of an operator. Probably one of the best I’ve ever seen . Read the land and know how things are going to react . Water , mud etc . Thanks for the great videos. P.S don’t get stuck 😂 CHIPSTER
You are very brave with your equipment. NIce to see a professional at work. It is so easy to sink before you even know your in trouble (from personal experience). Once you cover the exhaust, uh oh.
Was a member of 50th Armor at one time. Vt ANG 1973-1974 then change to the regular army. Glad to see the 2nd. You will like my 1 military video at Arlington ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S0UPZ-aE4KQ.html
Always been interested in equipment, and the capabilities & limitations too! He far exceeded what I thought, was safe to put that machine into. Well done; especially getting it out of the soup. My neighbor rented a smaller version, to work on his own property, on a slightly smaller area. Wound up calling the rental company. They brought out a second unit, to retrieve the first unit. Then busted a hydraulic line, requiring replacement, plus replacing the fluid too. Then the cleanup of both units, round trip hauling fees; not sure how much his final bill came too? He made the mistake of not making any mats before getting wet and muddy. Thank you for the video. Great tutorial! .
Using the big board to pull the mud back, that ain't cheating lol, thats bloody smart! :) You sir are so smooth what that excavator, I haven't seen work like that since my dad. :) Very nice :)
As a fellow excavator operator in New Zealand I never stop learning and have stumbled across your videos, always good to pick up tips n tricks from someone like your self. Cheers
You do some amazing work and really good at running that excavator. More i watch you makes me want to go buy one and start my own business... I have run equipment my entire life but something about watching you just amazes me lol
That bucket view cam is pretty slick. Cool watching liquefaction in action. How some earthquakes are made worse because ground water rises and does that
Where's Timmy??? I never see him on as many videos as I use to. I'm thinking he's with your Uncle on different projects. Keep up the great work!!! It's always great watching you operate.
@@Blazer02LS I don't have Instagram but thx so much for the update. I'll check that site out. I figured he was doing something else since they have so many projects going on at once. Have a Great Night and thx again.
I actually love this emptying out the hole, feels so satisfying. I'm not a rushy type I wouldn't force forward and I really don't like mud so I'd be taking it out from the beginning, wonder if that's more efficient or not tho, efficiency might screw me there, but oh well.
I thought you lost it, there! The first video of yours I watched was you digging out that rental unit that was up to its armpits. I guess staying out of trouble is better than getting out of trouble.
