    It’s really cool to see how well you guys are doing with CZcams.. Honestly during the years of the TV show, I was a massive hater.. but when you guys got out of that and picked up your CZcams channel, there was a notable shift in the quality of the content and in the overall vibe you guys had (for the better, in my opinion). Slowly became a fan, and now I am addicted to the videos. You’re doing great work, especially the way you’ve gone out of your way to find large scale projects that are great content and extremely charitable at the same time. People helping people is a beautiful thing!

      If it's anything like the Arkansas river up in Tulsa Oklahoma area that much damage to it will permanently weaken it. Making it 100x easier for the next person to get stuck worse. The Arkansas river has claimed lives from this. One moment you're driving along on a sand bar next moment you are buried/eaten alive almost instantly. And damn near nothing will pull you out. It's illegal for that reason to ever go into that river when "dry"

    I've been involved in pulling two vehicles out of quicksand before. One where the entire off-road club was involved to get a Toyota Landcruiser out before it disappeared. I would have stopped at the 5 ton sinking. Lake and River beds and beach sand dunes hide liquefied surprises. Since this happened in 20, then you had the experience to dig out some buried bulldozers. Sometimes we are given an impossible task and wonder why. Then later, the jobs come in that require that one skill.

    I can't believe you got it out. That mud I mean sloppy sand. If I had something stuck you would be the first i call. People in Utah are really lookey. Whereas Diesel Dave at or did he quit on you. You're one heck of a man. I can tell you don't like to lose. Way to go Heavy D Keep on having fun.

      When I built a road on muddy ground like that I laid down thick tarps instead. It's cheaper, then big rock on top of it.

    @powerq21 Před rokem +1

    Thanks for sharing this HeavyD. It's a life lesson to us all that if the best of us can come unstuck, then so can the rest of us - it's not just Karma and the Gods being mean to the little guys...and then the most important lesson - don't give up, just keep going and trying different angles until you get it right. I feel just a little inspired by this to go out and tackle a few issues I have - thank you again!

    It sucks recovering equipment for people performing the work, and breakage involved is a heart breaker, and recovering your own equipment is done with all your own expense and its not just monetary loses you said it your self almost lost two employees, friendship with the local government, and the feeling of doubt. It sucks but you are one of the best at what you do, so you always get the job done pissed, sad, overworked, you and your crew always get the job done. Kudos for the great content to you and your crew. If what you do wasn't hard anyone could do it, and you would be just another run of the mill so called recovery experts like a lot of the other youtubers.

  • @bobbyvandenbroeke2017

    I love watching the 5 ton army trucks recovery is what I did in the army in all different places in the world you made me days. I would like to see you guys do something like a big truck that can be made for a person like me that is a powerwheel chair . I can not ever buy on because I am on a ssi income it is so low income I get $463. A .month and I get $163.00 from the VA bennifets so I can never got out to drive on me own because I can not buy anything that can get me powerwheel chair to go with me anywhere I can. Thank you for taking the time to read me comments . God bless you and your family and your staff to . I am from Mitchell Nebraska USA 🇺🇸.

Maybe why you guys are so tight now? … Having made it thru together such a horrific mission impossible ordeal. Maybe why I love watching you all work on recoveries together.
