Dave made this video to convince his wife he needed another helicopter
the second one belongs to his husband 😂
☠️
“I’ll give you $100 to ride up this hill and get stuck on purpose so I can come rescue you”
Bro, I read the title and thought this. 😅
@@Chickenman36284 I bet they just dropped them off on the mountain and then circled around and picked him up ..Dave said he road like 16 miles and bush waked through bushes meanwhile his white shirt is spotless and he's not sweaty at all lmao
Flying low over beautiful terrain like that is always appreciated.
This right here!
9:15 Dave you should always put the parking brake on in the pre-landing checks BEFORE you actually land on a slope, and even if it looks flat, it's a ridge/pinnacle approach. Unless you're landing in a perfectly flat paddock not on top of hill then go ahead and do what you want with park brakes. If you fly NVG one day, then treat every remote landing as a slope landing as NVGs can be very hard to pick slope, holes, obstacles etc... Fly safe!
This video is exactly what the Dauphin needs. An example of the reason why it exists in the first place. Thank you Dave for sharing this episode and I look forward to many more like it!
Honestly, I am not familiar with the Dauphin, but it does not look the sort of helicopter for flitting from treetop to treetop or landing on 8000" ridgelines (even with little to no wind). Actually it seems to me to be rather like an improved Jet Ranger, basically a commuter helicopter. I would suggest using a OH-6A or its MD-500 equivalent for that sort of thing.
You're a good dude Dave. Everyone needs a friend like him. Willing to come pick you up when you're in trouble. Whether that's in a helicopter or a pickup truck. This is a good reminder for myself to be that type of friend to others.
You need to get Diesel Dave certified as a second pilot for your Blackhawk. Not enough Blackhawk content yet.
Yeah, we all need a gajillionaire friend with a copter.
This was scripted and staged just so they could plug that sponsor.
As a former private pilot I love your aviation content, especially the Blackhawk content.
As do I, especially the videos concerning the Dolphins. I have many hours the USCG version as a Flight Mechanic and these videos sure do bring back a lot of good memories.
Dude, your average Saturday is a hell of a lot more interesting than 99% of our Saturdays. Anything with a helicopter involved only elevates the content. Stay safe.
Dave, it has to feel great to be the guy your friends call when they need a helping hand, and to be able to have the time and resources to make stuff like this happen! To answer your question, YES! A million times yes! I absolutely love watching the videos you post like this. Literally anything aviation related is a must watch for me. Keep up the great work!
When I grow up, I wanna be like dave
I don’t think you can make a better video than one about helping a friend in need. Well done!
Did feel very scripted tho, just like a Top gear episode.
Yes, that you guys were able to help
It was staged.
@@stuwest3653I thought so also, still good content regardless.
bet you also believe in santa ...... this is just a mass advertising video
Any reason to see that sweet sweet Dauphine in the air and just flying around is gonna get my attention. Really appreciate the extra Polish you guys put into the videos
Being a mointain biker myself i've been in situations where i've run out of food and water. Having someone you can call for a rescue is awesome especially when your ride home is in a heli.... loved this video Dave
I am a Commercial Multi Engine Fixed Wing Pilot and a Commercial Rotorcraft Helicopter Pilot, and a Private Fixed Wing SeaPlane Pilot and I love your Love of Helicopter flight. Getting the Blackhawk and a Dauphine is amazing! Keep doing good work for those who are less fortunate!
I spent 26 years in Civil Air Patrol so this is right up my alley. Love the helicopter, love the rescue, love the camaraderie and friendship. I've spent several nights at 3:00 a.m. looking for ELT's in the 80's and 90's so this just takes me back.
how many times were those needing rescued standing around with the property owner while waiting to be picked up?
None, but I had to have various people come out to the airport in the middle of the night to turn off their ELT that was set off by mistake. The others were actual missing aircraft and they usually didn't end well, with the pilot and/or passengers deceased.@@iffykidmn8170
Thanks for being the guy that your friends can rely on. SAR operations, no matter how small, are still super impactful and save lives. Excellent execution on the landing and take-off from the ridge line.
It was just an ad...
Bro what. Not trying to undermine SAR but they sent some dudes on bikes up there for the purpose of making a video.
@@00Donkey00100%.
Asked “stranded guy” if he wanted water and he goes “uh suree”
Love everything you guys do wish I could get a day with you guys but that would never happen now that I have cancer love you guys
Dave, so happy to see all you guys doing good in this world. Anytime you can help out a fellow human, its a good day. Keep up the good work.
Big Mike.
Heavy D, you asked a question at the end of this video. ' Do you want to see this kind of daily life type content'? Maybe you didn't word it quite like that but my answer is yes, Bring it on! You, Diesel Dave, Hans and your amazing crew have amazing storytelling abilities which coupled with the killer video content can make a simple flight to pick up stranded friends into awesome content. Thanks for what you do. Scott. BTW, we have met in the past, I think it was SEMA 2019 or 2018, I was the then CEO of Rolling Big Power, we did some stuff together and partnered in a build that we featured in the RBP booth. Anyway, all my best, and enjoy what you, DD and the crew do.
HEAVY D is a good hearted man who enjoys giving as much as he recieves.
He must’ve received a lot of phony videos.
"a good hearted man"
lol ok
As a former USCG HH65 flight mechanic, I used to do this kind of stuff on the Oregon coast line as well as inland rescues. Keep putting this out and I’ll watch.
Love that you are willing to help friends and other people out when in need. Keep the awesome videos coming brother.
Or helping guys he paid to go get lost.
The guy is an outdoor guy and he was able to drop a pin so his cell is getting signal. You are telling me he couldn't get out by himself? I call out a staged video.
Yeah totally set up for the ad
@@dimanfpv3247he likely dropped them off with the helicopter and just picked them up 😂
@@UncleRicoOSUI was hoping it wasn't that staged.. 😂
This type of "day in the life of "content is the best kind in my opinion it's so real and the best to watch. Anything with the boats or in the air for me 😊
The aerial views of those mountains never get old. Keep this type of video coming.
To all of Dave’ neighbors: Please go get lost in the surrounding mountains and send him an SOS call. It was great to see the Dauphine helicopter in action. Thank you!
Dave real life story videos are always golden in my book.....
I'd like to see more videos like this Dave. Thanks for taking all of us along on this flight. Hope your weekend mellowed out.
Helping people out and making sure that they get home safe is always a good idea and makes for good content
SAR friendly ❤.
Well done. As a retired pilot I noticed some “tightness” during the flight. Well done Dave , good airmanship is key to success on these kind of missions.
love any rescue videos, cars, people, cars with people in them, just the thought of seeing one of your trucks pass by on the highway while others have normal cars, just cracks me up. you make light to a situation that could have been much worse.
What I like is you and your friends just being who you all are... Helping when and where you can ( even if you have to travel to do it), never hesitating to drop what you're doing to go help a friend ( even when they got in over their heads).The planned stuff is all good, but its the day to day things and your being who you all are that makes your channel interesting and just fun... Guys who care about each other, who help each other and are friends enough to give each other static when it is deserved....You guys are like " A box of chocolates".
Absolutely enjoy real world videos like this. Thank you for taking us along.
"Real world" 😂
Ikr one big ad lol @@dobledekersoulwrekr
That bird was once the air medical transport in my area ( southwest Michigan)
It’s good to see that it has found a good home and is still saving lives
I can’t be the only one who laughed when Hans said “what’s his exact location, roughly”. I think we can all relate to that sentiment and I can guarantee I have said something similar many times in my life!
Enjoyed this! Was great to see the real time thought processes about where and how to land on a mountain, from fuel load to winds and altitude!
Random, unplanned, unscripted videos like this are the BEST! Great scenery, cool look at the inside of a helicopter, life lesson … all in one video.
Everybody needs a friend like Heavy D. Great rescue.
BYO Jet Fuel ;)
That was a good demonstration of the possible dauphin capabilities.
I like your videos because they are always differant but especially the ones that show you rescuing people and showing your heart. sometimes it's hard to tell which is bigger your wallet or your compassion, keep it up big guy & ty.
Short and sweet. Picking up a friend who needs helps. Dave you are a true friend. Loved it!!!
You're ALWAYS helping people, that's cool brother, who doesn't want to see this kind of stuff?
I mean its not like it was set up perfectly to make a sponsored video....... Almost like it was planned....... Yeah you cant trust them to put out actually honest content they create drama. It feels insulting to be honest.
Can anyone say “staged” lol
Really? it was an add and they got paid a boat load.
I like these type videos. It shows and educates the importance of exploring at the appropriate skill level. It shows that even if you have expierience what can go wrong.
Over the years I have watched every post of yours from day one, Enjoyed each, great job.
Never known what details you and your team went throw on each recovery. Thanks.
All I can say is WOW!!!
Hey folks, as a UK Veteran I enjoy all your videos and I have to say anything involving helicopters is great, keep them coming..Thanks
This is an excellent example of what can happen even to the most able and experienced. No harm became of it thanks to your rescue. Glad you shared this video.
This guy could be having a good day, and he take the time to be kind and a unconditional friend!! Very admirable
Hans is so casual. He walks over with 3 waters hands them out . They were like oh thank god this is over . Great job guys great job !
Dave is the friend that we all need!
So glad you were able to help a friend in need. Any type of video you put out is already perfect. Don't stress it.
This is what I enjoy with this channel. The mix is what I love. Your team and you are such an amazing inspiration. Keep it mixed it keeps the channel interesting.
Unplanned videos is great, everything does not have to be planned to perfection, I love all your videos.
Always nice to know a guy that owns a helicopter.. or two. Well done Dave.
It makes me VERY happy to know that I had a VERY small part in helping these friends in their time of need!! Thank you to ANY and EVERY person that played a part in this video
Love how you're always willing to drop anything to help a friend in need, a true modern-day hero! Awesome video. I'm glad to see the new heli putting in some work!
It’s literally an advertisement for OnX. He likely just dropped them off and picked them up 😂
The raw stuff is always good. Keep the balance with the polished and the raw and that will satisfy more viewers than you already appeal to. Nice flight. Good rescue. Thanks for sharing.
I love these videos. I’ve worked on fixed wing and helos for over 30 years. You are the man Heavy D. I’m especially impressed by your cockpit situational awareness. Always scanning the instruments and the sky. Looking up checking engine controls. Sign of a safe pilot. May the Lord continue to bless you, your family, and all your compadres. Stay safe
It’s nice to see that helicopter still saving lives. I think you did great buying that bird.
But he didn't save anybody this was a scripted video for his sponsor on x offroad
I came to say the same thing. It still gets to do its job
@@Don-ou6dzYep! This is a scripted ad.
Great video. I love the polished videos but these are just as good for how authentic situations happen and you guys just react straight away.
Thank you, for sharing with everybody. Beautiful rescue.
The rescue videos to me are the best. Don't get me wrong I love all your videos but I really love when you help people. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Nice to know someone who is as nice as Dave and who has the resources and heart to help folks like this! Definitely like these kind of videos! At 15:42 the mountaintop ridge line almost looks like a person laying on their back top of head to left, shoulders and chest to the right… does anyone else see that? Looks pretty neat!
I don’t watch CZcams for “perfect.” I watch it for human stuff. Unique stuff. Nerdy stuff. Stuff that would never make it onto regular TV.
This was great, please keep posting this sort of video! (I hope you post the one about the wrecked excavator, too! How did that happen?!)
❤love the impromptu video, a bad situation rescued by Dave & Dolphin.. lessons learned. & no one hurt
Having Dave as a friend is a blessing. A helicopter ride like that would easily be in the 10's of thousands of dollars
Stop talking BS. Dauphin hourly rate is $2,500 tops.
@@notwhereyouthink not for rescues
@@notwhereyouthink For rescue's it's a different thing. It's not only fuel, but it's maintenance, fuel, aircrew, ground crew, coordinators, and if you have a specific "rescue subscription" like Garmin or whatever, it also factors in insurance alongside other things. So it's definitely in the 10k+ range.
And considering what assets get deployed it could be even more.
@@Doomsday499 More BS. Fuel was the only cost factored into this pickup. End of.
A ride in a medi vac chopper to a hospital is 15-20k.
Videos like this are cool, too. Refreshing to see some unplanned stuff.
You seriously think this was unplanned?
@@TFT-bp8zkit's sarcasm. Nothing dave does is real. Dude is milking it hard
Small stuff like this is awesome to watch. Thank you please do more of this type of content.
Awesome job and Im glad he had away to get ahold of you for help.
Actually, gratified that you actually took up a helicopter to save people's lives. Friends. those kinds of things show what kind of personality and person you are!!! Amazing. Helping people is what we need in this world!! Thank you
Yep - love the spontaneity of the videos. We all need friends like Dave.
Like…you actually believe that this is spontaneous? With a timely sponsor plug and all! Wow
17:44 Yes super fun too see the longer videos and then also this kind as well. Thanks for all you do.
Dave, Hans...YES, we like rescue/helping people videos away from your headquarters/shop area...up in the mountains, in another state, in the winter, rain or mud, searching for people or even just repairing or recovering vehicles, heavy equipment and whatnot. The helicopters are cool in rescue, recovery or searching videos, but so is all of your other equipment. That RARE, COOL huge snowblower you bought from the ski resort(?) is really cool...you ought to be able to use it to help or rescue people in the winter. ;)
These are some of the best videos helping out friends!!!But also rescuing someone that needed help!!Keep them coming
Great that you guys are always ready and willing to assist. Well done! These short videos are perfect to put things into perspective. Please continue.
Heavy D, that was an awesome video. I was a US Coast Guard mechanic on that very helo, they are just awesome. Keep posting your planned and impromptu videos.
I stumbled on your page the other day while searching for some videos to play while working. Of course I have seen your show. This is the content that great. Glad your buddies were okay. I'm training to be a fixed wing pilot but to be able to land in the area you did is what makes a helicopter so appealing.
That was just pure and simple some of the most epic and awe inspiring video I have seen in awhile. The fact that I know you'd have been in that helicopter, doing exactly what you did, even if you didn't have a channel speaks volumes about you brother.
Anytime you can save a friends life with a helicopter, ill be around to watch! Nice job Mr. Picky :)
Fake
Yeah bro we like these vids... love watching anyone with their own helicopter just fly whenever
Awesome video. Great work from your crew and fantastic job stepping up to help people in need!
Another reason why having Dave as a friend is such a good thing lol
You don't think this video is fake? two perfectly clean dudes who "kept falling in the dirt", were thirsty but didn't drink the bottles 14:00, weren't sweating 15:25, got lost but knew exactly where they were?
@@ThePastaManCanwell this was a Preety entertaining video even if it was fake 🤷♂️
@@ThePastaManCanwho cares if it was fake. Still entertaining. 100% of what you watch on tv is fake…. Even the reality tv and the news.
As long as he has a sponsor to shill for yeah.
@@ThePastaManCan and standing with the property owner whose land they had been previously trespassing on.
It’s nice to see videos where we get to see Dave grow as a pilot. I can’t imagine that landing on that peak was super easy.
Keep posting short videos like this. It's nice to see the day to day life of you and your whole team 👍
Great Video ! You can't help someone unless they need help, and those two pushed themselves into a bad, almost dangerous, situation. Liked that you could come to their rescue, especially considering how crazy things had been for you earlier in the day. I'm sure those two won't forget that rescue for a long time. That was a smooth landing on that ridge; calm winds helped a lot; but, still, well done ! liked the short format, too; kept the story moving and on point.
Hi Dave; you guys always come thru for me. I’m an ex trucker who retired when my wife had a stroke and I watch action videos such as yours. Your content is always top notch so kudos to you and your team! Keep up the good work!!!
Dave, love the chopper content. I’d love to see you guys do more exploration - content around flying to intriguing spots on the map and checking them out is fun and provides the viewer a good story to buy into. And like anyone else, visuals of low level flying are always awesome!
Love it! Great video! I feel a little bit more relaxed knowing that I have a neighbor like you! You're a good Man, D.D.!
Thank you and your crew it's all good, and thank you for the view. Keep it up
Being able to fly and help a friend is a true blessing. I like these flying videos
I'm glad you were able to get your buddies off the mountain safely, and yeah, these kinds of videos are completely fine with me.
Enjoyed the video of the rescue and the dauphine helicopter. Reminded me of my days in the Coast Guard! That helicopter is why I got my commercial rotorcraft rating!
Looks good to me. Nice to have people that you can count on. Honest, from the heart. Dave and Hans are amazing. Video was cool.
Good evening from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It’s great that you have the capability of helping people in need. Thanks for sharing your experiences. 🇺🇸
Thanks Dave. This was honestly worth it. I enjoy the human interest - Jason meeting his family.
Love everything you post. Love being along for the ride
These shorter videos are always fun for a quick watch and some filler time. Yall are good dudes and just do some of the most amazing things. Keep up the amazing work and helping people out. Hans you rock brotha.
This is the first ever video of yours I've watched. Insant sub. The way you helped your friends, the editing, the kindness honestly conveyed through the camera, the knowledge to fly a helicopter. EVERYTHING. Great work man!
I wish the park services had more folks like this willing to hop in a vehicle and get stuff done. While it was a friend needing help the real tell to me wasn't can we, it was how fast can we. Enjoyed the video and your local area is gorgeous so just content to watch the scenery and the chopper itself.
I love any video you upload because you take pride in making it perfect! But remember nothing is ever going to be perfect unless you try
Loved the video great rescue. Your buddies was in need and you you have the stuff what it took to get them off the mountain thing. They got home safely to their family's. Need more of these videos. Nothing planned is always good
Dave is so kind considering the guys he rescuing to guys who seem like they should know better.
All staged, I guess
@TimToussaint not likely staged, Dave is going to help a friend every time. Seems sad dude got in over his head, to me, that's all!
@@ralphbuschman8141 literally staged to promote on X offroad lol
he stages videos all the time unfortunatly
@@ralphbuschman8141 that doesn't prove it not staged hahaha. you gotta understand how the content creators work.
I love this video
Love the videos and hope you still make more of them. I have a fear of heights and flying. Dave is very cautious and does what he needs to do, to be safe and having the common sense to keep his people safe as well. I was telling my wife that, I think Dave Sparks would be the only person to help me get rid of the fear of heights and flying!!
I love videos like these. Shows more of the personal side of people.
I love the raw, unfiltered stuff!!! Would definitely watch all!
