Thank you for reminding us to say, "Yes" to things that make our lives better and to say, "No" to everything that will make our lives worse...food for thought - remembering the time that a man was only as good as his word. May the Lord bless you and your viewers, Sam, and keep you safe. Until next time, Mike&Pat
Yes Sir that would definitely make our lives better!
Thanks and God Bless

Thanks Evert! 😀 Those smash burgers are the best.
God Bless
I sure like your intro this time I've been watching Todd lately he has really good videos as well been love watching him work with his daughter
Thanks! Yup, ole Todd is a good one for sure. Emma will be running the show before long…🤣
Roads and building pads through jungles in a dust bowl, fill-in swamps and roads over that to a building pad under a rock mountain, roads up a steep mountain to a house pad with basement, driveways, huge ponds, clearing a muddy hillside for the church, with a corresponding message at the end of each video. Just waiting to see a tunnel through a mountain. Best videos on my watch list, keep them coming.
Hey Jeffery that pretty well sums it up! 🤣🤣🤣
I do like the sound of a tunnel through a mountain! 🤔
Thanks and God Bless
Great work Sam and awesome message! Thank you for sharing. Stay cool out there.
Hey thanks I appreciate that! 😀 Glad you enjoyed the message too.
God Bless
Thanks again for sharing the Word
Thank you Dennis and God Bless! 😀
Great message. And really liked the in cab view thru out the video
Thank you Scott! I will do more in cab like that.
God Bless
Wow! You are making good progress on that job... its looking really nice! Thanks for the message once you say you are going to do something you have to do it... you gotta keep your word.👍
Thanks and I agree with what you said. Our word should mean something…
@@tristardiggin 👍
🔥🔥🔥 DROPPING IN!!! Great to see ya hero!!!!
Hey thanks for dropping in! 😀
Another awesome video and message, you have got to be a preacher.thanks Sam
Thanks Kevin. I got this one out mid week for you! 🤣🤣🤣
Not a preacher, just sharing the Gospel…😀
God Bless
Enjoyed your message, I watched the same video, a call to fidelity and have watched his videos for several years now and like you find him to be extremely knowledgeable and informative about things as they say draw your attention to, very true the world and the people are not t same, enjoy your channel keep it up.
Thank you George! Yup, that was a great video that he did. Just recently started watching his videos and I enjoy them too!
Sam
Amen to the message. Awesome video and awesome work. I would love to purchase a Tristar Diggin cap.
Thanks Robert, I appreciate that. Shoot me an email at tristardiggin@gmail.com for hat info…
Thanks,
Sam
Good message Sam . You got that jungle looking good! God bless
Thanks Justus!😀 It was definitely some thick stuff…🥵
God Bless
Great message Sam.
Thanks Darin, I appreciate that!
God Bless
Hi Sam, the Cat 313 has a good size to do this job.
In France we have many 315 with the "round" counterweight.
The result of your work is very clean !
Thanks Nicolas! I sure do like this 313 for sure.
That’s some thick stuff. Surprised you’re this dry down there. We are staying damp in KY. 1.25 inches yesterday from a pop up storm. Yes people need to do what they say they are going to and this world would be better off. Thanks
We would definitely be better off and less stress if we did right by others. We could sure use some of that rain around here…
Thanks
The thumb has to be the best invention on an excavator ever was!
I agree and especially the progressive thumbs. That makes life better…😀
Keep em coming Sam
Thanks😀
You're right about a handshake not meaning what it used to. I understand that sometimes, stuff happens that we can't control, but I was always taught that if I tell someone I'm going to do something, do it. If something beyond my control interferes with my promise, be courteous and communicate with the other party. Being in business for myself, good communication is vital to a good working relationship with my contractors.
Great job on the project, stay safe my friend.
Yup that is a great way to do business and live life. Just think if everyone did that how much easier life would be…😀
God Bless
Looks great Sam
Thank you James! 😀
Looks like ya'll need some rain too. I love my blackstone. I cook everything on it
Yes, we need rain in a bad way! Cows are skinny. 🤣 Yup we are loving the blackstone for sure.
Man, that is some thick stuff! Looks like a blast to build that road.
Wow! It is some thick stuff. I do enjoy it except for the smaller stuff getting hung in the teeth. That’s aggravating for sure…🥵
Sam
Man o man… you always bring great videos and the message wow!! Something that we all as small business owner need to strive for
Let our yes be yes and our no be no!!!
So GOOD!!
Great job again
Thank you for the mind provoking thought
The inter vision of ourself on how we are
I hope you are doing well
Ps… smash burgers are the best!!
You must have double tapped that message…🤣🤣🤣

Duane from Arkansas
Thanks Duane. That’s right we definitely need more of what the message spoke about. I tried the smash burgers for the first time a couple weeks ago and oh yeah, they were good.
God Bless
The answer is yes. Good video, don't get tangled up in those vines. Great message. I saw my PaPaw shake hands on a lot of deals.
Thanks Mike! I saw the same thing with my Papaw as well. Good men back then for sure! 👍
God Bless
I loved those tiger teeth. I thought maybe they were better cutters lol.
I liked them too. But actually these digging teeth do a better job with the roots.
Thanks
Looks like you're working in the Amazonian jungle. No match for a pair of cats and a pro operator though. Great message Sam. Need some work in that area myself. Thanks for sharing
Hey Ron, I agree! I need some work in that area as well.
Wow, this place was thick. But the CATs are whipping it into shape now…
Hello Sam,
I was glad to here that you took some time off last week. It always good to take time off and rest and regroup. I did the same thing myself. Your message was great. I was raised to try to make a difference everyday if I can. But the majority of the world today is raised to do as little work as you can. Don't make no ways and just slide though life. Like I tell my boys. The more you put into doing right the better the results you will get. Take care my friend. Have a good week.
Thanks, it was good to take some days off for sure! 😀
That is exactly right what you said about the world today.
That is great advice that you are giving your sons…
God Bless
Great message today, takes a lot of effort to do what you say, video camera work was very good on this one, seems like you are getting better each video!!! Thanks for time , effort and thought to make the messages and videos , really enjoy them all!!!
Thanks Brian!😀 That was definitely a message we can work to get better on. I appreciate you supporting the channel…
God Bless
Have a suggestion maybe when you do this kind of work and need to find a spot you should have great big orange cones and you can go sit them out in the area you need to be going it'd be easier than seeing the ribbons
Right, it sure would be easier to see those big ole cones…😀
Nice video Sam.
Thank you Harold! 😀
Very good mesg
Thanks Jim! I needed that one too…😀
Awesome Job & Message!!
Thank you Greg and glad you enjoyed it…
God Bless
great video
Thanks, I appreciate that! 😀
Amen Sam
Thanks Doug! 😀
I like to see you go into more detail when you lay out the building site🤔
In the next video, when I build the pad, I go into a little more detail on the layout. But I will try to add a little more in other videos as well…
Thanks,
Sam
Man I love to watch that dozer. Need me one. lol. Dry as a popcorn poot here too.
Yup, just head down to the CAT store and they will hook you up! 🤣🤣🤣
A popcorn poot describes the conditions very well…🤪
@@tristardigginI know that CAT place would hook me up…..with bankruptcy the way things are going at the moment. lol. Just joking around. One of these days I’ll get to a point I can invest in a dozer Lord willing. He has the plan so I’ll hang on and see.
@@briangammons8242 The Lord definitely has a plan! Maybe it has to do with some Yeller paint! 🤣🤣🤣
@@tristardiggin Maybe. We shall see.
Another great job and message. But I have to say you don't look right without your hat.....🤣🤣
Thanks Mark! 😀 I just flat out ran off and forgot my hat…🤣🤣🤣
Hi Sam, busy here in eastern Oregon, hot-hot-hot, take care gotta go.
Wow! Hot describes it well! 🥵
Great Job 👍 and Message 👍 it was nice for a change to get to ride along instead of getting SMASHED 😂😂 all is well 👍 Take Care Sammy
Thanks Jon and it’s less expensive to ride along than it is to get smashed. 🤣🤣🤣
God Bless
@tristardiggin God Bless you all. 🙏
Enjoy the video as always
Thanks Raymond and BTW I got the shirt you sent…😀
@@tristardiggin I hope it fits if it don’t it’ll be a good grease rag
I forgot the great music.
Thanks, I try to pick out some good music for the videos. I need to check out some more when I get a minute…
Another " while you are here " job ? 🤔😂
Watching you push through the undergrowth and slicing through all those spider webs..... was waiting for big foot to run at you 😂
Now you have it opened up, no one will know the building will be there !
Handshakes used to mean a lot, you can tell how genuine people are by the strength of their shake for sure !!! 💪
Alex, it’s a wonder Big Foot wasn’t in there! 🤣
I finished up the pad today and it turned out nice and it’s in a great place too. Handshakes are cheap nowadays for sure…
👍👍
Thanks 😀
Your right not that long ago if you shook a man’s hand and they said they would do something it was as good as done I’m 44 I remember that when I was growing up it might be the area I grew up in but it’s sad how some people are now days wish it could go back thanks for the message God bless
Yup, I remember those days well! I wish we could see those days again too!
God Bless
Ahh, man. I skipped ahead to the message and missed the mark. Good thick burgers all the way. Smash burgers can find their way out.
I appreciate your yes be yes and no be no. And changing the world immediately around you.
Going to be hard to respect your burger choices though. But other than that, great work and great messages
Jonathan I do like a good ole thick burger too. But, if you stack up a few of the smash burgers with cheese between them, mmmm mmmm good. 🤣🤪
Glad you enjoyed the message!
God Bless
@@tristardiggin you ALMOST had me with cheese, but you just can’t do a medium rare smash burger.
God bless and be safe this week, looks like another hot one for us on the east coast
@jonathanzellner906 🤣
Have a great week as well…
That’s pretty thick stuff! Bet there’s no breeze in there! Are you happy with the 313 size excavator? Do you think you could of done that job with the dozer alone if you didn’t have your 313?
Yup, that stuff was a pain to dig through. The dozer could have done it but trying to manage all the material in a good pile is easier with the excavator. And all the smaller trees have a tendency to fall back and accross the dozer.
Howdy Sam
Hello Tugboat! 😀
Great video and content....you go BIG in each project! Impressive! Sam, curious just to see what your thoughts on the John Deere situation? I value your opinion!
Thanks Aaron, I appreciate that! I’m not up to date on John Deere. Saw some things in passing but have listened to any of it though. If it’s what I think it is I say go woke and go broke. Tractor Supply took a big hit and they toned it way down after that.
@@tristardiggin thanks for your response and being transparent sir! Love you channel as always my brother!
@@aaronburford5701 thanks Aaron…
How in the world did the guy get into those vines to put the flags on the trees hidden in that mess???
A machete and a whole lot of want to! 🤣🤣🤣
@@tristardiggin LOL
Do you have snakes to worry about in that area?
There are copper heads and rattlesnakes around but I can’t say that I’ve ever run accross one while working. I see non-venomous pretty often though…
Hi sam
Hello Jim!😀
Hey Sam did you know you are on swag tech on CZcams
Didn’t know that. Haven’t heard of swag tech but will check it out. Thanks for the info…
What are yo going to do with all of the vines, and trees you have removed? Is the owner okay having them shoved off in the woods? This is someting we always have to deal with too. Phil @diggindeeperpcg
Yes, he has a good bit of land and just wanted it pushed out of the way. Most folks, if they have several acres just want it pushed out of the way. I do a good bit of burning to when weather permits…
@@tristardiggin Thanks Sam! Appreciate you!
Sam I sent you a email for a highviz flag to help save your tripod lol 😆
LOL! I saw that, probably not a bad idea…🤣🤣🤣
@@tristardiggin a lot of very big job sites have them on their level transmitters
@scottdominguez7939 I can definitely see why…🤣
After you got dozer out,I had to stop and go find my dust mask.
I survived thou.
That otta make a secluded shop building.
Kerry, I know what you mean! Wow, it was dusty around there. It is going to be a great place for a shop and very private too.
Thanks,
Sam
