  • I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
    I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
    Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

      @@avargs3505 one rule of thumb is that you never go alone on unknown ice. But you should also not be too afraid, ice is very tough and you don;t break through it easily. It cracks easy, but it doesn't break. I grew up in a waterland , with good ice in winter. It was always so much fun to be among the first walking / skating on ice, it makes a lovely singing sound when the cracks form. These cracks are not a sign that it is unsafe, it just means that tensions that have been formed during freezing resolve when the weight of a human is added to the ice floor.
      But caution is still needed and if you are not experienced you should only go when somebody with authority on the matter says that it is safe. Animals and understream currents can cause weak spots in an otherwise very safe ice floor. But with experience you learn how to recognize those situations.

Upon ice fishing once, the toddler son of a cousin of mine went through thin (due to a slight current forming where a smaller lake ends in a creek which leads to a bigger lake) ice and started to slowly drift away under thicker ice. My cousin threw himself in the hole and manage to grab the kid by his hood and pull him out. The normal thickness of the ice is 3 feet. And the Creek was all covered with thick ice too due to water level dropping over time in the winter. In the summer the two lakes are one. Long story.

    This takes me back to living in CT. As a kid we used to do this stuff all the time for fun, love that you never grew out of it Post. Also worked as a surveyor for many years in New England as well, nothing like a pristine winter day to make you feel good. All these people saying your going to get hurt or worse are the types that never get out of there damn house and experience anything. Just be careful, maybe grab your self some goggles for when your smashing the ice? Getting something in your eye can be a bad day, maybe consider getting your self a sledge hammer or a few other tools, just to be careful. Anyone can slip and fall and be on the receiving end of a bad day. Love the videos, and your enthusiasm.

      @@nickjeffrey8050 my knees are gone, before I became a firefighter I had 4 knee surgeries, then 2 while I was a firefighter, 1 I came back from, the last one just really took alot out of my strength and mobility. It wasn't from trying but there's a tremendous amount of crawling and climbing that was just a revolving door for further knee damage. The absolute last thing I wanted was to be a liability to my brothers, get injured and you call a Mayday and it's like a Moth to a flame, you got folks coming to get you and I couldn't bare the thought someone getting hurt or worse coming to get me. I've got 2 kid's, I'm a single dad ...(firefighting can be hard on a marriage) it just was the writing on the wall, I figured that I had some decisions to make...it wasn't easy. To this day, a fallen firefighter hurts, I get cold chills hearing a Q Siren and Horns just giving it, I'll always hold firefighters in the highest regard and respect. It was a amazing opportunity to be able to do it for the time I did, almost 10 year's. I still see thing's go down I'll jump right in it and see what I can do, especially before anyone's gotten on scene, you never know what you come across in everyday travels, from car accidents to cardiac arrests.

Like a rage room but you don't have to worry about the stuff you break being recycled! Also for the videos, please don't be afraid to take a break, with your condition, you don't have to go go go all the time and work up your body heat so much!

It's not fatal or anything, but it is very uncomfortable, I guess. I *think* he easily overheats and then has to take a break to cool down. Several "fans" (😁) commented that they had the same or a similar condition. (A condition that has a name 🙄 I can't think of it right now...) The only reason he mentioned, he said, was because he has to pause pretty abruptly from time to time & he didn't want CZcamsrs thinking he was getting lazy. 😄😂 (As if...)
      His take on it seemed to be that it was mostly just inconvenient. After he rests for a while, and as his body temperature approaches the normalish range, he can get back to what he was doing. If I remember correctly, he usually has to go through the "reset" process once & he's good for the rest of the day.
      Hope that helps! Prayers are always good. 🙏🏼 👋🏼🙋🏽‍♀️✌🏽
