My tee shirt arrived today in Scotland ,cheers for the $5 🇺🇸😎
Cerro Gordo has some awesome history man. Love to see you guys going out there!
please bring that intro introduction of people as you guys did in todays video. i think it will be very fun
Hell ya can't wait to see more
What happened to the last vid I was mid watching and it kicked me out
Need more crossovers like this CZcamsrs working together to get there channels see by everyone and anyone
Working...???
What I've seen was loads of empty words but no action at all...
This is just another click bate tactic for getting shares and likes nothing else...
No...what is needed is real people with real will to help others, not a bunch of tourists making tourism...
everyone is egotistical nowadays. just check the first comment under this one.
No doubt. Can you imagine the things that could be done with the resources of a global community like YT?
@@charlesurrea1451 Are you guys really trying to shame HeavyD? I mean my gosh, he's LDS and probably has done more mission work in just one day of his life and donated more money to charity in just one day than both of you guys combined. Out of touch!
@@JohnSmith-zi9or I left a positive comment.
We were saying imagine the impact if MORE people did these kinds of things together.
Don't lump me in with those trolls.
Glad you guys could get up there to help him out. He's a trooper that's for sure. Doing it all by himself! Good Luck Stay safe!
He's actually has a lot of help up you just didn't show much of that but it is still him having to make sure it gets done
@@joshjablonicky171 That's Awesome!!! From watching his videos I got the feeling he was alone most of the time. Thanks for the information greatly appreicated!
lmao hes doing nothing by himself.
@@DieselRamcharger You are correct!
@@DieselRamcharger how do you know?
Thank you so much for helping Brent! He is a really rare breed, solid as an oak and just an honest good guy! I love his vision of restoring Cerro Gordo! Thanks for all you are doing to preserve history! A culture that doesn’t value it’s history, has no future! So thank you, God bless you and yours!
Brent brought life back in this town.
He is amazing guy. Can't say it's a ghost town anymore. It's very lively now. Much love everyone ❤️💕
YES YES YES , you guys are absolutely the best ! Thank you for helping Brent complete his goals.
I am so happy to see people like you help to keep Cerro Gorrdo going. My 12 yr old son and I watch Brent every week revive the town, so exciting to see it getting this kind of help. Thank you from this Grandma and her son.
My son will definitely enjoy your channel with me as well.
Same here.
I have never watched this channel, but bc of him being at Cerra Gordo, I will sub & watch.
@@peggyvick935 start from the beginning you will become addicted very soon. Watching his ups and downs and doing all the exploring is exciting.
@@LonelyGrandmaMary
Hi Mary,
I have watched Cerritos Gordo from beginning, but never this guy’s channel.
Because of him helping Brent,
I subscribed & will now watch.
Many blessings to you & your grandson.
I have 6 grandchildren.
They’re my darlings. ❤️
Lonely Grandma....
Wow, u must be a young grandma, to have a 12 year old son!
@@fabledfantasty7343 late in life adoption. My oldest is 36 and another is 30. Have 2 granddaughters and another on the way. Most think I’m his grandma and he corrects them quickly.
Thank you so much for helping Brent. He's worked so hard, and heard so many Nos. He's the most genuine person.
It is truly humbling to see how much Dave and his crew helped Brent as a viewer thank you for all that you did to help Brent. 🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸
You could do a very long series helping Brent and cerro Gordo!! 99% of both sides fans would enjoy it. I watch y’all both religiously
THIS!!!!
i only came across this channel because i watch Brent !
honestly that would be a good idea. at least these guys seem to know a lil bit about construction and heavy machinery. if brent keeps going it alone, on his current coarse, he's going to get himself or someone else killed out there.
@@Smokey420Greenleaf how so
@@korthosen949 same here! Brent's fans are definitely finding it because of this. When I clicked on the video, I knew the dude looked familiar but I think I've seen him featured on Right This Minute or something so, I've never officially been to this channel until now
I've been watching Brent (Ghost Town Living) since right after he started his channel. It'll be great to see you guys giving him a hand where no one else will. It really says a lot for you.
Ditto. These boys got a new sub from me.
Same, been watching Brent from the start. Been subbed to HeavyD for a while but didn't expect this 😎
First. They do nothing for free. Second he got busted by government for altering smog issue stuff on the diesel trucks. He’s not the dude you think he is
Of course they'll get paid. CZcams will eat it up. As far as the smog issues..... All I can say is we all do things we shouldn't sometimes. That doesn't make them bad people. They just know better next time.
@@LiveToSurvive
Oh they (knew better) the first time. I’ll bet there’s more if I started digging but I don’t care enough to put that much energy into it
It's so awesome to know that there's good souls like you guys out there! I love to follow Brent's adventures and then came here to see the "behind the scenes" and how you guys did it. Too cool for words!
Glad someone came through for Brent. His content is very watchable and he hasn't even got started yet.. it will be awesome to see what Cerro Gordo will look like ten years from now along with his content. They should lay some mining track and have like a bucket ride tour around the whole area maybe even through one of the old accessible tunnels.
Thank you for helping Brent!!!!!! A lot of us have been here for his whole journey. When the Hotel burned down, it was a heartbreaking video to watch☹️You have joined Brent’s army to preserve history! Thank you so much and thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to watch what you all do❤️👍🏻
Couldn't have said better myself
HeavyD is by far EPIC in the push for Brent & making a huge difference in the awake dream of Brent's & truly restored his strength, improved his own knowledge & ability & vision for history & gathering of ppl in brotherly love & exploration altogether. He needed it so bad it was quite touching totally EPIC! I Live all their channels & all the brothers so much that included dearest Brent. What u said was understated just saying . Love u as well ok!
So glad to see you help Brent he’s a great guy
Cannot say enough how glad I am you are involved in helping Cerro Gordo come alive. I have followed Brent since the beginning and he really needs serious man and machine help. You and your team are the best at the impossible. 👍🏻❤️
It's fascinating to see Cerro Gordo through someone's eyes other than Brent's! Thank you so much for helping bring this forgotten town back to life.
I heard that 93 yards of concrete were successfully poured onsite.
they did it and lets just say the equipment they had to bring in the end plus the valenter/fan workers was huge. cerro gordo looked like a true large scale developmental construction site for a bit as they did their work
Definitely watched a few episodes last year and when the hotel burnt down was so distraught with pain for him and the historical value of that building. I'm Canadian but loved the story he was telling
Yeah he was about to cry when that happened you can hear the care for that town in his voice
Thank you, Dave, for doing this. We've been going to Cerro Gordo for decades, and losing the hotel hurt. We hope you stopped by to see Jodie (previous owner, her grace overlooks the town) and thank you so much for your help!!!
I'm coming over from Brent's channel to thank you for being his angel!💜 You guys rock!
So glad yall are helping Brent out. We randomly stumbled upon his channel when he started it and now my fiance and I watch it every Sunday night!
Ghost Town Living is right up there next to HeavyD on my favorite CZcams channel list! Talk about dream collab!!! And I get to watch it twice 🤣
Same here! So cool!
Same
Thank you so so so much for helping Brent rebuild the American beautiful hotel... ive watched his channel from day one on his journey with this town... its amazing and so much history.... your a massive part of history now of rebuilding for him... I cried alot when the fire happened... his struggle of talking telling his audience... broke my heart horribly. Thank you for you ,your team, the hard work the compassion he has described you as... An Angel... I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to watch your videos as well... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... from South Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Great to see the process of the help for Cerro Gordo, I live in New Zealand and have been following Brents progress. You awesome guys are going to be a massive help 💖
Found your video after watching Brent's latest posting. I've been watching his channel since it started, and it was heartbreaking when the hotel burnt down, so it's fantastic to see people like you helping Brent out like this. I would love to visit there one day and stay in the hotel you're helping him rebuild. Cheers guys.
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for helping Brent. Can’t wait to see all of this come together.
You guys are awesome!!! Been watching Brent for the past year beat his head against a wall to get this done, so glad you'll stepped up to help him out.
I’ve been following Brent since almost the beginning. I love what he’s doing. I found you through him & I love seeing a different perspective on the town.
So glad he finally has a foundation & 1st floor.
Thank you for helping him with that…you’re awesome 🏆
Beautiful area and really brimming over with history that should be preserved for future generations. Thank you for your major contribution to that end…
Someday I’d love to visit Cerro Gordo
I was a general contractor for 30+ years retired now and I definitely would build the batch plant on site
Exactly what I had in mind !
Same here. I am going to also watch with interest how they get the amounts of water that is going to be needed up there. Everyway you turn, the challenge of the water and concrete is going to be daunting. Batching it on sight is the most desirable, IMO, yet does create challenges but could probably get away with just using maybe 2 mixers. If it were my job, water, water and water are the first priorities to get solved. trucking in water will be a major ordeal by itself. Smaller amounts at a time getting up that canyon, and seeing what is down in the spring in the mine won't cut it. Just my observations.
I have been watching Brent's Cerro Gordo story ever since his first CZcams video. Thank you for helping him. 👍
You are doing a wonderful thing helping someone fulfil his dream as well as venturing into history.
I think I mentioned to Brent before that he should wear a hard hat inside of a mine. In 30+ years mining I have seen things that would change your mind quickly about wearing a hard hat.
Agreed 👍 saftey first. I've had a Helmet save if not my life than certainly my mental faculties a couple of times.
Yeah and maybe a rebreather and an O2 sensor
When I visited I suggested he take a MSHA course. It's all private property so the government shouldn't bother him much but I get nervous seeing him exploring the way he does.
he will get what hes got coming. thats for sure.
@@DieselRamcharger Weird comment, whats he got coming to him?
Love Ghost Town Living, I live in a coal mining village in north east England, we had shafts that went half a mile down and up to three and a half miles out under the North sea , The cages were double decker's twenty men on the top and twenty on the bottom. Happy you are helping him as that place needs to be saved .
@Jeffy Brow he's lying
@@Mx5Man how would you even know that !? 🤔
HolyShhh...😳😲
They actually brought this technique to where I live on Vancouver island in Canada when they found coal and started mining to send back to England, there is a coal shaft that goes down a couple hundred feet then shoots out under the harbour
@@Mx5Man No he isn't, the Ellington Colliery in northumberland which closed 20+ years ago had workings that went out as far as 15 miles under the north sea www.theguardian.com/business/1999/nov/01/7
Man I love ghost town living and your channel. I’ve been watching his channel since the beginning and it’s so cool that you two are collabing!
I started watching you vlog after seeing you help Brent at Cerro Gordo. It is amazing how much you put a smile on his face and many others. I've been in the need of some heavy lifting, seeing your kindness and work ethic has helped with a recovery you never knew existed. My heart and soul has been stranded deep and you and your crew have helped along with Brent ❤🧡 Thank you for all that you do can't wait to see more from you and the rest of the crew. Be safe have a beautiful day
Heck ya im down for the series i'll watch them adds when i get quality content like this
Damn straight.
These guys are awesome 👌 I have watched all 3 this far, they even opened up a few closed mines and they explored with Brent at Cerro Gorrdo 😊✌
agreeed, youtube has sucked for like two years, more of this please!
I watch ghost town loving and to see this and your donating its fantastic. Such a nice gesture cant wait to see this develop
WoW! You guys got me hooked, love your CZcams channel. The video is amazing, and I can’t wait to see what else you have in store. Thank you for helping Brent and also saving the dream of Cerro Gordo. I’m subscribed
There is just something so special about a sleek turbo prop. Beautiful plane.
Love how you guys make all these shows feel like a community for the viewers. Keep up the good work 👊🏻
Just want to say thanks for all your help with all concrete work you did for ghost town living. Looking forward to your future content.
I love you guys for helping Brent and bringing him much more than labor and such, your positivity and excitement is something you have in common,it's Brent's greatest asset 😍
Definitely looks better than the 360p from yesterday. Much more impactful on those views.
Lol at least your internet isn’t so doodoo that you have to watch it on 144p 😂
@@05cateye96 I'm on 56k dialup
It's back!!! Let's watch Cerro Gordo get improved more and more!!
Why so it becomes a crazy tourist destination?
@@Meekerextreme I doubt it will ever become a crazy tourist destination. But yes, I believe the goal is to make it a small tourist destination!
New sub to your channel. Thanks for helping Brent out with everything on his plate. It really is too much for one man to get everything done. Thanks to the volunteers at Cerro Gordo too, you folks are the blood, sweat and seeds of new life in the town. Brent has accomplished so much, working with the volunteers, but getting the hotel rebuilt is his main obsession. The next is getting the water back reliability. I keep hoping that he will find a huge fresh water aquifer beneath the mountain that is accessable and free of contamination.
Thank you so much for helping Brent and Thank you for your generosity! That's really heartwarming to come across such decent people like yourself. (I've come from Cerro Gordo's channel).
Y’all are awesome for helping out Brent! Can’t wait to see all this happen!!
I've been watching Brent and (Ghost Town Living) for a while, watched his video about how he was trying to figure out how to get concrete up to the site and I"ve been thinking about it alot. I used to help run a concrete batch plant from set-up to yearly maintenance, and dealing with getting concrete trucks in and out of bad spots was the reason a pump truck, and concrete pumping is so popular. Now, don't get me wrong, I've watched some of your videos too, and you have got to have some of the most badass trucks available, but the problem isn't the horsepower to get the concrete up to Cero Gordo, the problem is the road and the grade of the existing road. The wider the truck, the less road you have and the more likely for an accident to occur, unless you are prepared to get the road right - passable for heavy trucks, and even then the grade may be more than driveshafts or u-joints can stand. I'd think about other options. I know he said he needed 90 CY's of concrete, which isn't alot, but is the slab of the hotel all he is ever going to build up there? If he wants to continue to grow, probably not, right? I'd consider setting up a small batch plant in the town, fly that sucker in with a load bearing helicopter if you have to, or use smaller trucks to haul the dry cement up in bulk bags, and mix it onsite.
I know it seems like alot for such a small amount of concrete but they have smaller batch plants assuming he does have access to water and 3 Phase electricity. Either way, I'm definitely interested to see how this turns out. It seems like you guys are great problem solvers and trouble shooters, just keep safety in mind on this one as you try to hulk that mud up the hills.
Sorry Im a bit late. AFAIK Brent doesn't really have running water. The only "running water source" is a pool a couple hundred feet down the main mine shaft with a pump to send up a trickle that works like half the time.
He was also looking into helicopter lifting concrete up there but the price alone could've bought him a good sized house. So it wasn't really an option, and that was BEFORE he knew how much concrete he was going to need
@@everythingsalright1121 have to dig a well !
@@Bobcatspiritdude I think he tried that too. I don’t remember why but he had problems with that too.
you guys are absolutely the best ! Thank you for helping Brent complete his goals.
I’ve been following Brent for quite a while now. And love the support and energy you’ve shown. Would love to be a part of this project when travel allows me to get there from the UK
Badass airplane!! Guys I thank you all for this!! It's nice to see everybody helping each other out with the CZcams family!!
This is great, I love the vibe of everybody and the generosity
Y’all are rare men, always helping people. Most wouldn’t, even more most successful people wouldn’t even think about it. Thank you
Videos back up! Ghost town living ftw!
Awesome!!!!!!
Thank you guys. I live in Lone Pine, CA and have watched Cerro Gordo slowly degrade. It is great to see attention being brought to Cerro Gordo and it's history.
This project means a lot to me. You guys are amazing!
This so cool to see! I wasn't aware of your channel before, but am a big fan on the ghost town stuff. Thank you for supporting the preservation of history! What an interesting time to be alive, where I can watch a video on my phone, while on the toilet, and the ad revenue goes to help.
I knew it the second I saw it. I was like, HOLY SHIT! Heavy D and the boys are going to Cerro Gordo! Awesome!!!
I use to run a Freightliner up some narly dirt roads, at least it had a tandem locker. Sounds like you need to find some Telma systems for those rigs. That alone will save the Jakes and pads on the way down and keeps the drivers safe. Awesome to see you pitching in to save such an important part of American history.
This was great, really enjoyed this one! Can’t wait to see the next video. Helping this man with his project is showing people the kind of men you are!
Watching you and watching Brent has become my "must watch" as often as possible to keep my attitude where I want it.
Very thankful that people like you exist and have the resources you have.
Thank you for helping Brent with the town . You guys are heaven sent .
Knew this looked familiar. I’ve been following him for the whole journey. So cool with this collab.
Heavy D and his crew having amazing huge hearts for helping Brent. Watching you guys up there working and having fun was inspiring!!
Glad too see the collab this guy has worked so hard on his ghost town, started following him a year ago and he’s came so far
Thank you for taking on this project. It really is going to make a huge difference in Cerro Gordo! Can't wait to see how you pull it off... not if... but how because if we can have 100% faith that anyone can accomplish this... it's gonna be HeavyD hands down. Thank you so much on behalf of everyone interested in America's history.
I had my mind made up that the D in HeavyD was for Douche.
I am so happy to be wrong 😁.
Dave & Friends are extremely cool, fearless, compassionate, generous, educational & inspiring. I have been following Brent & his awesome endeavor for over a year, I can't imagine two more different personalities but I'm hoping they are able to accomplish great things together. Thanks Guys, stay safe & good luck.
I’ve seriously enjoyed this video, you all are so pumped on Cerro Gordo! I am feeling so amped up! Nice video coverage and the music is great!

You guys rock and I absolutely subscribed and liked the videos! Your channel is very interesting and I thank Brent for sharing your link! Happy trails! ❤❤❤❤
So stoked you’re taking this full on. And before June 15th. Damn good job guys.
What's even more wild the valley below use to be a big beautiful lake!! After the L.A. aquaducts were built it drained away forever... Sad really, look up old pictures of it, was so beautiful..
This is awesome. Thank you all for helping Brent and Cerro Gordo. Subscribed!
I’ve been following Brent and just came across your video. You did an awesome video of the town and what your doing at Cerro Gordo. Bless your heart for helping Brent with his dream for everyone to enjoy. Definitely going to check out your Channel. Love your video content. Your got some amazing views of Cerro Gordo. Thanks for helping and thanks for sharing.
I watched the whole video yesterday and now I’m trying to decide if I wanna watch it again! Awesome content! 😂
I waited to watch it in 2160p :)
Watch it again with us...some of us watched it last nite too... Awesome
Great video but man do you need to get a life.. in my option, just saying
@@rolanddabeats8087 lol what?
This day and age....it is called multi tasking.... changed brakes while listening and watching first time and cooking dinner this time.... thats how we do.
Hats off to you, Heavy. You win back a lot of Brownie points for helping out Brent. It's a really Honourable cause and a lot more fulfilling than getting mixed up with the 'Trevor Miltons' of this world...
You're doing a great thing, Bud'
Fantastic group of people preserving history. Outstanding!
Love the video man thanks for helping Bringing back the town
This is going to be one of the best series on CZcams
What a cool colab. Ive been watching Brent almost since the beginning. And obviously my Diesel Bros for a long while.
Really godd of you to help Brent...you all posess the same enthusiasm to help preserve the town and its rich history.
I'm so happy you guys got to meet Brent and get him so much needed help! I started watching your channel because of his channel and I love what you guys are all about too! So I just subscribed to you and will be watching! Thank you for all your hard work!
You guys are awesome for helping Brent! I'm gonna watch the hell out of these videos!
Thank you very much for helping Brent, I really enjoy his channel and now am having fun watching your channel too,
I am amazed at all he has already done and anxious to see all he still wants to do. My guess is that if you weren’t there to help he would still be searching for help. Thanks again and God Bless you all and be safe on this adventure. Looking forward to watching the progress .
37:53 literally looks like a painting. Beautiful.
HEAVY D & CREW are very generous and amazingly kind to do this for BRENT. MUCH LOVE 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was absolutely stoked to see this when i checked you tube this morning both you guys are on my constant watch channel list and could not be any happier right now ✌👌👌👌👌
Yeah they would need a thousand people to mix and God only knows how many bags of concrete
I've been waiting on Brent pulling in a a bad ass team to help get some gnarly shit going on in the town. Helll YEAH!!
Just love you guys. It's nice to see people helping each other out. You and your crew are sons I would be very proud of. God bless you and your families.
So glad you guys are supporting Brent with your generous offer of help!
Love it, been watchin Brent for a long time, nice to see this collab.
YESSSSSSSS i was waiting for it honestly i already watch the cerro gordo channel im so exited to watch this
Big thank you from New Zealand. Loving the Cerro Gordo Ghosttown youtube channel with Brent. You and your teams help will go a long way and is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to going through your youtube channel content
I've watched a few of these guys videos and subbed around a year ago to keep up with the progress. Just found you recently, watched a few of your videos and subbed. This is the CZcams collaboration I never knew I needed.

I love that you’re helping Brent! Bravo fellas.
Hi guys I've done a lot of home building in some really high mountains and tricky spots. I would suggest that you hall up dry cement there looks to be plenty of gravel from the mine's so you will need a portable mixer and water that is going to be the hard part good luck I hope this helps
Exactly what I was thinking 👍
3000+ gallons of water, Ibc tanks carry 330 gallons shouldn't be too hard.
This venture earned my subscription. Thanks guys.
Seen several HeavyD videos that entertained, but I never made the effort to sub...dunno why. Just, CZcams surfin..This however, hit it home.
Brent's channel has been crazy entertaining for me with his devotion and philosophy. His reaction when he lost that hotel was gut wrenching.
Thanks so much for this partnership.
It even makes good business sense on a CZcams level! Cross channel subs here they come.
Great job guys.
This is so awesome! You guys are the best!
You should look into bringing a volumetric truck up there and mixing it at the site. If I wasn’t in NY I’d be happy to bring one.
Absolutely, bring the water separate. Mix on site.
Building a small Batch Plant might be better in the long run.
@@moondawg3693 I was thinking he's going to need more concrete in the future. A small plant would be desirable.
