Ive been in situations like that where you help someone get a job done and it makes you a target or responsible party. it can get dicey when patience runs low and anger runs high. love your videos
Situations we've seen Chris in gives us a glimpse into who he actually is as a person without personally knowing him. Being totally honest he's a better man than me because, vet or not, with the guys attitude and antics, I would have completely lost my temper and would have either had to leave the guy to figure it out in his own or I would have said a lot that I would probably feel bad about later. Being a vet doesn't give you a pass to act like that
That was some video.I don't know how anyone could have gotten that out of there with such narrow streets and being so dark but at least you got rid of it.
One of my favorite videos of yours so far. How you handled that entire U-haul situation shows your true character. That was a perfect display of a real man. Great job Chris!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHowbrings back memories, worked at Bridgestone-Firestone at 32nd & Market St 25 years ago when I lived in south Jersey between the White Horse & BlackHorse Pikes.
I’m completely impressed, I don’t even know how he got in there. I’m a truck driver and have been for 35 years and I don’t even know if I would’ve attempted to try to get in there. Good job Chris your patients are impressive because I don’t know if I could even come close to having the patients you had, I know one thing you had me on the edge of my seat that’s for sure.😅
If you sit and stare at it long enough you'll eventually pull through and figure out a way to get something somewhere. Helps if you disconnect your trailer from your truck if you're in a bind like that. You can shove the trailer somewhere you're not worried about being able to get your truck out of with it attached, then reconnect and roll on out.
@@Cameron78998 @Camaroon If people are wrong about something, it is prudent on many levels to correct them. In a healthy world the person doing the correcting would also be thanked for doing so. And, while this world is certainly anything but "healthy" these days, I will not be dragged down by that fact, and thus I thank "OpiumTrail". Language is also very important; if one does not value their own respective "native" language, it indicates they have forgotten or abandoned their roots and culture and, as such, it also generally indicates they have no allegiances to anything or anyone. This is unnatural and destructive on many levels. I have watched as language has been gradually polluted and desecrated, over several decades now. Many meanings of words have been entirely inverted, even. It is purely evil. And, of course, the usual destructive elements that have plagued this world for millennia, are the ones behind it all. And, left unchecked, they WILL destroy this world, and in short order, I will add. We should always aspire to be improve ourselves, and assist each other in doing so. Otherwise, we have failed our time here... We have failed the "test".
so much respect for sticking around and helping that dude out, I can only imagine how that could've escalated if you hadn't been there. He seemed super stressed and pretty difficult to deal with, but i'm sure he appreciated it!
Bro, you have way more patience than me! I get it though, you were sticking to your word and in the end got it all wrapped up. The last part of this video was intense, especially when that neighbor was yelling. It was way more intense than the Tundra getting a bath for sure! I'm glad you're safe and look forward to some calmer videos lol!
Yeah it definitely got a little crazy in this one. Honestly I'm surprised more neighbors didn't come out screaming. That guy had been for every 24 hours with his loud diesel truck. LOL
You showed some character here. Regarding the Uhaul removal, this is a lesson in what situations to avoid. Hopefully the veteran will learn from this. You're a good man.
Hate to be wo negative. But coming from the beautiful country like myself. That city and life looks just miserable so dirty and run down. Makes me really appreciate where im from. Thank you for sharing the filth not just the good
that Vets situation wouldve made anyone go stir crazy...having the cops called, losing your dog, truck wont start, plus spending the night stuck...glad you boys got it out. Chris youre a good dude...👍
Your the man Chris ! That is what you have to do .1st people need to chill out , relax, re-group work the problem.. The Dodge D-150 in Idaho is still waiting for you guys ! Lol ! Nice weather out there now..
My husband and I watched this on his tablet earlier. I just gotta say that your integrity and good character really showed in the U-haul segment. You are a good person. We enjoy your channel, and Jenn's too.
Getting that U-Haul truck out of there looked extremely stressful. The driving style of the new owner looked more appropriate for a buggy stuck in the sand dunes than a HD truck with a trailer close to obstacles. Craziness. Your ability to stay cool as a cucumber during high pressure situations continues to impress me. I hope you made some reasonable money getting that yard cleaned out.
Wow! Man I just watched this and yeah - intense is definitely the appropriate word for the situation. Man I thought things were about to escalate even more, and I thought real problems were about to drop! LOL Really glad things got sorted out - just in the nic of time!! Chris - I like your style, Brother. You've got a nice, calm manner about you, and you are a man of character. I don't know about being in Philly at 1am like that, in that area. LOL But I know you needed a break, and to de-tox a little bit. It was a tough situ for you - and the Tow Driver. Tough all around. The owner didn't seem to help the situation either. And hind-sight is always 20-20. If the wheels would have rolled... yeah... rolling / winching that thing out to the entrance, or even the street.... would have been so much better. But..... you got it done. I'm impressed. You handled the "situation" with a perfect balance.
Just want to say, whoa!!! My wife and I almost had heart attacks with this video! Insane! She usually doesn’t watch my RU-vid channels, but she was hooked with this episode!! She was exhausted after watching! Keep up the great videos Chris, love your channel!
OMG ! well done dude . Most people have never dealt with this kind of shit . It takes all you have sometimes not to fall apart when it it matters most . And this is why we drink lol ! Cheers from Gary Indiana .
Great video. And wow! much respect for Javier. He and his family are a great asset to this country. And there is Mr. DooRag who has clearly spent a lifetime making great decisions. I would have left him to fix his mess. I'm a vet and have no patience for people who use "I'm a vet" to excuse bad behavior. I would question if he was telling the truth.
Seeing that people actually live in a crappy old city like that makes me soooo happy I live in the country away from nut jobs like that uhaul buyer...people ( sometimes ) give a bit too much credit to veterans just because they were enlisted. Ok, you were in the service.. you marched around and took orders.. doesn’t mean you get a lifetime pass to be an belligerent ass...just sayin..
From the hood hinges, air horn and overall demeanor of that dude I can’t believe it went south……Big props to you for sticking with him to get it out though.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! This guy was awesome; I compare him to a Looney Toons character. Just won't stop doing something that's an obvious bad idea.
Javier's story is inspiring and typical of immigrants to this country. Where others may have seen an eyesore, he saw opportunity in the old building. With hard work and family commitment to the project, he repurposed the crumbling structure and created a profitable business. Immigrants helped build this country and my great-great grandfather who arrived in New York from his native Ireland in 1841 was a part of that. Thank you for this story.
Chris what a great video. You continue to entertain and impress your audience with you skills and resourcefulness. It’s been twenty years since I have seen Philadelphia and the Delaware River. There is a song (Big River) by Jimmy Nails and Mark Knopfler I-think you would enjoy if you have not heard it.
It just amazes me how you stick with a situation and get it sorted out. And your video filming and editing is great. You really capture a situation. Thanks.
Marketplace encounters never cease to amaze me! Now that was some entertainment! Kudos to you Chris for getting that man outta that situation. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks so much Chris for sharing this with us. The excitement had me pegged, “is it going to make it”? “Oh my gosh, now what?” “Yes, I think they got it.” And because it was dark you couldn’t really see the whole picture, it kind of added to the element of the unknown or surprise. Glad that’s over for you! I did want to say I really enjoyed your outro music you chose, nice groove! Again, thanks for sharing your story!
Dude!! That was like such a great episode! I was stressed out just watching it and loved the real life interactions! Loved it! One of my favorite episodes!
I work production and have been in hairy situations at fsuk-off AM, with a awkwardly positioned semis and pissed neighbors, not ideal! Great job Chris!
I can't live in those Big city crap holes....I like the wide open spaces where you can breathe the air and not all the pee and crap, not to mention about all the houses so close that your neighbors know when you break wind..😂
I didn’t realize the UHaul was in such a tight spot! Your a great guy for helping him out. That was just unreal to figure out how to get him aligned, wow.
Chris you have the patience of Jobe in the Bible. I honestly don’t think I would have had what it takes to do what you did for that hard headed man. God is definitely smiling upon you for helping that oddball❤️😐🙏 You went way above and beyond what most folks would do for him.
Definitely one for the record books! Good on you for sticking it out till the end. That vet had one hell of a day that would have made just about anyone one of us fly off the handle. Not to mention what ever else might be going on in his life. Thanks for taking us along!
Yeah at first I was extremely pissed that he ghosted me and stopped communicating. But then I was thinking how stressed out he must have been being there for 24 hours. So I tried to keep my cool and not argue with him
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I think (actually I know) this guy suffers from anxiety in stressful situations and reacts to it by getting angry and lashing out. That's probably why his dog ran off as it was also feeling the stress which only made the situation more stressful. The fact that he has that little dog and obviously cares for it, shows that there is a good person underneath it all who needs help but can't ask for it. You did exactly the right thing to help this man, just staying there and helping out when he couldn't himself. Thank you for doing what so many others wouldn't.
I really love these run around "vlog" little of everything videos. Also its amazing all the manufacturing that used to be in America. We are so disconnected from the supply chain today. Also not sure if you were there when the guy loaded the box truck but definitely should have pulled it into the street to load. That was quite an operation but will make a good story.
I had no idea how bad it was getting in and out of that area but that looked absolutely ridiculous I can't imagine anyone not getting frustrated wow great job chris!!
True that. It was definitely a tight fit. And I dont know the guys story or to bash him you know. However it wasn't impossible. They did prevail on getting the trucks out. And Chris did fore warn him about how difficult the situation was. Now If that had been myself I think I would of tried to have a couple of buddies there to help spot it. Secondly checked the area out first. Make a plan of attack. For example maybe it would of been more wise to find a spot to park the trailer. Then take just the pickup truck in and winch/pull the u haul truck out of the lot onto the street then load it up. But in the end the calm and cool head of Chris made the difference. Sometimes when things get frustrating its best to stop regroup think or even go for a walk and take a moment to think the problem out. Getting rammy or full throttle doesn't always resolve a situation.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Yea he just seems like a brute force wing it type of guy. Good on you for helping that man out even though he was a bit of an ass. Good content as always!
Chris your a real one for staying there til the end he couldn't have done it without you for sure also good thing you have a crash bar. I sincerely enjoyed this episode because it reminds me of myself so much 😂. So many times I been working on something til 2am pissing neighbors off but jobs gotta get done! Great content!
Wow .. just wow. You have far more patience than I. Not sure what the deal was with helping clear that space of all those cars, but you did indeed keep your word. Your content is good, just what most people want to see. We don't need burnout competitions and racing for only a select few. Keep it real with videos like this, you'll be further ahead. I noticed you had a VGG shirt on at the end ... IMHO, Derik has strayed too far away from what got him where he is.
Bro, hands down your my favorite youtuber, your videos are so bad ass its just stupid lol. I can watch all your stuff from beginning to end every time. Love the Philly stuff. I have been there a couple of times and its got some crazy cool history in that town. Almost had a chance to move to that area as my wife worked for a company that was bought out by a company in Horsham PA. Not sure this Texas boy could have dealt with it though but possibly.
What a great example of a man willing to stick it out, no matter what ...and the other side, not willing to come out and help, make's it worse by yelling at the situation . Thanks Chris for bein' the man. I grew up in the area and have now moved far away for sanity's sake.
Yelling (and more) at these guys by neighbors didnt help situation but what were more people going to do to help? Raise a Amish barn? Build a farmers market stall with a community garden around the uhaul in the lot? Put dairy cows, covered in tags and graffiti murals, out to pasture? ...I like the idea, whats the action look like? Should be about neighbors, not gentrification though.
Holy crap that recovery gave me severe anxiety!! Been there before where something is so stuck you cant seem to get it. Glad u guys finally got that thing out and didn't get shot.
You have a lot more patience than me for sure. Don't you love some of the people you meet on Facebook marketplace? And those custom hood hinges are awesome 😄🤣
I enjoyed your life's philosophy on the bridge. 😂 The box on the back of that U-Haul would be a great cabin or studio. For $400 I would buy it just to sell the scrap and keep the box for living. I have a house but it's not a bad idea to have, restore it and it'd be awesome.
BEST EPISODE EVER!!! Great way to see Philadelphia and experience the culture. Couldn’t stop laughing with all the drama getting that truck out of the yard, I can see why no one wanted it. Great show, thx again
So glad you had an understanding of the area ,thank you for the story as well..glad everything worked out for you. You are for sure my favorite RU-vidr Notifications always on.
Hey Chris. Great video. That was one crazy recovery for sure!! Don't feel like getting shot!! Intense. Good thing Jen wasn't on this one. Great drone footage also! Keep your awesome videos coming!!
As we say in the business, "you can't make this s**t up" you are an incredible person and my personal superhero for your willingness to go the extra mile!
Those rails in his building were for swinging beef . I had a trailer years ago with the same rails for when we hauled swinging beef. That's why they had refridgeration in the building that he took out also
That was a crazy adventure by the looks of it. I actually felt my own anxiety ramp up during the last bit when the neighbour was shouting. You guys made the best of a bad situation though. Thanks for the cool video, interesting to see a different part of the world than my everyday. Also, at the power plant I think those think things you were looking at were spacers for the windings of those big old motors they had in there. Looks like someone took the copper at some point; at least to my mostly uneducated eye.
What a mess with the U-Haul that truly tested your resolve and patience to their absolute limits you hung in there for way longer than I would but you're a Good guy to stay in it and get it done.. appreciate you sharing your amazing and crazy adventures 😁🛠️🇺🇸🔧👍
I have been involved in some unique situations, this takes the cake! Your resolve is unreal. This video needs 1 million+ views. You captured the emotion and the tension so perfectly that I thought I was there!
