If Andrew has requested your presence more often, he must value your worth and recognise something in your abilities. I reckon he wouldn't do that lightly. Well done. Good luck to you both in your ventures.
Sounds like an easy decision. A great chance to learn some new skills. Be part of an amazing project. Just need to make it work for you. A win/win scenario. & certainly nice to be asked. 👏👏
We live at minus 40 (same C and F) hwre in SK Canada.. Get yourself a cordless hairdryer (or plug one into a generator or inverter hooked to your vehicle) to warm and thaw stuff. Safer than torches! No melted switches, helps starting studf.
Pretty cool man. Would love to see more of your adventures at the Camarata mountain top. Get some snowboarding pants/jacket/hat/gloves and you're good to go.
I live 3 hours from him, I would love to come out west and help you guys, I have plenty of experience with Heavy Equipment. You're lucky to hang with him.
11:53 if you're coming to it with some knowledge already and have that kind of a playground to learn new things alongside someone else, go for it! You never know how that experience will open up more opportunities and adventures later in life.
if you look at the alaskan highway guys, they were just cutting trees left and right then laying them over one by one on the muddy road they bulldozed open, then backfilling with crunched stone and other material to make a roadbed. even though the road is (mostly) paved today, underneath the base of the modern road is still those old timber logs.
Quick share about frozen throttle cables.. Always its because rain or moisture got in somehow, sometimes its unavoidable but I found a good solution thats worked for me. I disconnect the linkage usually at the top and then slip over a short section of air brake hose or something similar thats tight fitting..use a clamp if necessary. Then dump a few ounces of air brake antifreeze in the hose and then use compressed air, a tight fitting blow gun with a rubber tip is excellent, and force the antifreeze into the cable sheathing. With some persistence the antifreze usually makes its way in there and thaws the ice right up and can prevent it from happening again if you seal the top back up with electrical tape. Been a couple years and never had to mess with blow torches or heat guns on cables. Cheers man, love the channel 👌👍
Opportunities like this only come once so to be trained by the legend himself I would jump to that opportunity. If it's going to better yourself in working on big machinery then I would say go for it.
Brilliant A/V work on that WD-40 memory. I felt like I was there. Like I’d done it myself. Now I never have to. Did it with Rustoleum high heat black once. That counts.
I remember when I was young dealing with real cold working environments now I just watch them on RU-vid. On my way to get coffee I always look at that digital thermostat 👍
Man, I got cold just watching you guys... You have to REALLY dress for the weather like that and Andrew is correct after a while you do get use to it, but it still sucks. Very nice of you to be helping out. Wish I was closer, I'd be there too.
Man I work outside everyday and it’s wild. I’m good all day cuz I have to be, then come home and I can’t get warm inside my 68° house. I’ll take a long hot shower then sweats and wool socks and I’m good.
@@mitchjones2821 I can see that for sure. When I would split wood outside for hours it was SO hard to get warm. You really have to watch body temps. Sometimes the hot shower would feel weird. I don't split as much wood any more and if I do, I make sure that it's not in the winter time.
The thing is, you know parts and you know how to fix trucks and autos and can help Andrew where he needs help. I personally would love to see you both working together, BUT with that said, am thinking of your cost to and from Maine every time you come and go back home, just in gas, which is not cheep. Just something you and he will have to work out, but seriously, if Andrew didn't have faith in you and know you could do it, he wouldn't of asked you. Looking forward to more videos.
Finally a truck without issues and put to good use in this mountain top compound road project. Thinking about how I would approach a heavy truck purchase for a project like this, I'd first go the 'good used' road and fix or repair as necessary. Sometimes you just get bit in the process.
One thing I can't work without anymore is these snowmobile neck wind cutters. Super thin but they keep your skin from being exposed. If you get cold you can pull it up to cover parts of your face
Get yourself a cordless heat gun. will do wonders thawing keys and doubles as an intake heater for a stubborn diesel. Also can warm your hands if you get cold.
I think You should definitely start going up there and help him out. I would really like to see the gray dodge running again! Maybe you use it as a repair truck!
Being its -21 F with WCF of -33 here in our neck of the woods this afternoon in Alaska! We keep our gear and equipment in our "heated storage shops" away from the elements...AND we have enclosed cabs with heaters so we DON'T freeze our nads off! I have been watchin Andrew for a few years now and he's a good kid with allot of good videos on things we have been doing for decades, but with a younger outlook on things, with more today's take on things! Yes I am ALLOT older than most of his subscribers and now your channel, but I do like watching others do the work we did when I was your ages but with ALLOT newer machines! I am 74 years old and yes I do love the toys of big mean machines that have built EVERYTHING! These past generations have let go that HARD LABOR of the past to pot holes and run down townships... its good to see the younger folk trying to rebuild it back up even if its just a wee bit at a time! Family, Faith, Freedom Always...
I buy WD 40 by the drum. Hand pump bottles. The compression cans have less fluid and waste more than pump bottles. You can use that stuff for everything.
Andrew get the WD-40 Silicone Lubricant for use on key switches, hinges, and latches. Goes on as a liquid and drys out leaving a lubricated water-repellent surface. Spray the pivot points of your throttle and other cables for freeze resistance. Applied before winter begins might get you through the entire winter. In your area that may be doubtful. May have to apply it every time a cable freezes up. WD-40 will attract moisture and dust which will freeze.
couple Wabasto/Chinese diesel heaters would be perfect for some of that equipment....100 or so bucks a piece now, rig them up to prewarm everything....come with remotes and also suitcase style
Hey Andrew did you see on U-Tube a company called vensbuild or take a place where a few tarp.tp.cover the area of equipment to when rain freezing rain will stop the controls and when done take apart even those two containers getting a few big logs and a tarp.make a temp building
it would be cool if there was a proper tour of his property here at some stage, like seeing dirt boss and now you working on the place but its like random roads it would be cool to show where you are working and where is the landing where he built the workstation, hard work pays
This guy is a machine himself!! 😂😂. Gotta be something better than the Takeuchi for tracking up and down that stone!! Probably chews those tracks ta sh*t!! Get the big track loader going. Those steel tracks will bust down the rock and smooth it out!! Potentially warmer too. If it doesn’t have a heater, they are pretty easy to install.
Id be a bear right now if that was me we hhad some snow then after frost for week now its been strainge getting both together -7 at the moment 🥶👌good content you guys
Teaming with a guy with 1.5 million subscribers - when you have 15 thousand - can only be good for you. Sub Camarata content will take you far - especially if he gets into this secret project and it goes for a few years.
At least the WD-40 washes off with soap and water. Green spray paint doesn't. Luckily was wearing sunglasses so didn't get in my eyes. Still took some scrubbing to get it off my face and hair after a couple days
A road next to my house they keep going over it with a grader and the problem is that they never let the ground harden so it would be a problem if they let the ground harden from people driving .
I keep visualizing a housing development in the far future where every one costs $1 mil, but it will be AC's UTV ATV Snowmobile track for quite some time
