- The third storm is over and work crews rally to repair the Coquihalla highway. We remain land locked to a small section of the highway at our off grid home and retreat. This is an update of the progress. Lot's of machines working.
These videos are awesome. Keep up the great content
Loving your updates. Please keep em coming.
Brilliant coverage . the videos do all the talking. I could watch 2x as much and be fascinated. Videography is top quality. WELL DONE. Glad to see the rain has finally stopped AND high speed progress is being made.
Actually better than news coverage.
I think you enjoy the adventures 😉
so true.so canadien
@@BlackEpyon This is BC and it is winter. Sounds about normal.
Thank you for bringing this coverage to us all ... stay safe!
Thanks for sharing all this. I"m watching from Montreal and am so impressed by the strength of community. Terrible calamity.
Much love and support to from Las Vegas, NV! Godspeed Canada 🇨🇦
As mentioned by another viewer, your coverage of the repair work progress if 100x better than the lame stream news. Well done, and keep up the great work!
Watching from Halifax … better than any news channel. You make great videos. Nice to see everyone coming together to help one another. Thanks for the updates …
As always,fantastic coverage! Boys with big toys🚜 A big thank you to all that are out there working around the clock, stay safe everyone 👍
Canada can’t thank you enough for keeping us informed great videos and commentary🇨🇦👍
It's a good sign when you can see your own shadow in BC these days! Greatly enjoying your excellent updates! Keep them coming.
had bud who did not trust own shadow
Thank you so much for keeping us up to date with the progress. Hope you can get home soon.
I think he is home. He just can’t go anywhere else!
thank you for all your reporting..be safe
Great coverage! As a former Vancouver Island boy, born and raised now living in Southern Ontario, it is great to see what is happening. Sadly your plight is no longer a main story here at the center of the World (Sarcasm Intended). Stay safe. :)
Love your 'up close' videos. You have an interesting life. Admire your resourcefulness.
Thank you for the amazing footage. Still trying to adjust to all the damage. Never take anything for granted. Thank you to the Kiewit team working on this area. Stay safe everyone
Thanks for keeping us updated on the progress. Those workers are working around the clock with a purpose. They're certainly worth every penny that they're getting...they know winter's coming ready or not. ...Cheers...
as someone whos out there during the day, i can assure you. puppies are being bred.
@@b3n751 🤣🤣🤣
@Monster & ms monster Michelle todd can confirm. gonna be opening a Pet Land soon
@Monster & ms monster Michelle todd im literally the dude driving the rock truck in this video, drivin up the hill with 1/3 a load. ez money
@Monster & ms monster Michelle todd I'll be atoning for my gaff for years...I can see it now. Hanging my head in shame forgetting the guys playing pocket pool.
interesting to see @3:59 the riverbank cutaway, looks like the valley has a base layer of heavy cobble, then 3 - 4 feet of mud, & another couple feet of overburden. Mother Nature has been thru here Bigger & Badder before 😱
Has every appearance of glacial floodplain. Need very deep foundations to handle floods like these, seeing as the ground seems to be deep sand and gravel.
Great Job! Thank you for doing this and for showing the hard work rebuilding the road. Nature is beyond our power.
I truly hope all this hard work doesn’t get wrecked by more terrible weather. Thank you for all you folks are doing! Wow look at that tree and what happened to it.
They will build it to hold that much water again lesson learned from them
Their repairs are like the Six Million Dollar Man. Built bigger, stronger, faster!!!
I like the fact that you give it straight...no political jargin in the mix, just straight forward.You may not be a professional news caster but your clips are honest and refreshing,thank you 👍
Love what you show us. Beautiful area you live in
So grateful for you guys out there! Love the Coquihalla! From Ontario!👍💟
Now this is how you rebuild a road!!!! Impressive show of force 👍
Happy Thursday day ! No rain Abbotsford and area ! A little relief 😌 ✨
Big log, nice updates!!👍👌🙂
Another great video as usual! Thanks for the natural audio without any distracting background music. Stay safe!
Thank you again and again for your great videos with updates. I can see the fantastic work that is been done so far. Please keep posting updates if you can. All the best and stay safe.
I appreciate your reports but I feel honored to witness your beautiful, wholesome, family. So many of us are realizing this is what is missing in our lives & wanting to return to the land, perhaps raise children away from the toxicity of the kill-grid cities. A longing to create New Earth & leave the old world behind.
Such a true statement. We aren't made to live like not of us live. We are designed and built to do things, not have an easy button for everything. It has become the norm to just throw money at everything instead of doing things for ourselves. It's not healthy, physically or mentally. And for the kids, they miss out on so many important lessons and experience being cooped up in a house stuck on the video screens. Over the years I have seen clear distinctions between people who grew up naturally as opposed to in a house glued to electronics. Those who were out and about as a child are so much more capable and have much greater mental capacity.
Thank you for the daily updates. Great job.
Great work everybody. Glad the weather is starting to cooperate. Could be a blizzard every couple days at this time of year. More consequences of climate pattern disruption.
I'm a combat veteran and when I see such repair work I think about those who would have to endure being strafed and/or their repairs being blown up that night. Quite a difference from peacetime. Think about what the Germans went through as we had 1,000 bomber formations each night. Whew! Best of luck and it certainly looks like you know what you are doing and thanks for sharing.
let each of us choose a peaceful heart in times of tension. It is an inside job. Peace on earth.
It is history in the making! Get some group photos of the heros in front of all that equipment for the record books. Years from now... people can look back and remember the power and effort that went into the re-build. Someone needs to write a book. Through the grace of God it will all be rebuilt. Thank you to all the hardworking people who are making this rebuild happen.
Well done guys. Still difficult to get our heads around the power of Mother Nature and her fury.
Awesome coverage!
Thank you so much for the updates.
Nice to see the progress. 🏗🚜🛣
Excellent work, keep it up 👏🏼 👍🏼 👌🏼
God bless 🙏🏼
Thank you for the detail!
Love the updates you give us. Happy to see this channel grow as fast as it has
noticing the newly exposed ancient river gravels in those banks, a prospectors dream
Thanks for making the videos. I't good to see all the updates and progress.
You're a Rockstar, brother. Keep up the good work
Thank you for your time given information about the whether.
Thank you for posting us bids of what is happening. Really appreciate your input.
Love the videos mate! Watching from the island
Great work STE crew, hopefully a week from now you'll have an access south to get out. We need warm weather for while and no snow or freezing conditions. Good camera work, now need some transition shots to change view points. Best wishes to all !!
Thank you for showing the date of filming, things are moving fast and is hard to track what happened and when.
Awesome thanks hope human and animals 😾 safe
Nice work.
Thanks
Excellent documentary camera work and story telling in all your videos.
Nice work...appreciate the updates...better than fake news. Real Canadians covering the real story without the hype. Shalom
Thank you for the updates!
all of you working you hearts out make things better diane ONTARIO CANADA
This is so amazing. Keep up your daily updates if you can, much appreciated getting an insight into the damage and the progress to repair it!! Any idea how many bridges are being worked on simultaneously along the Coquihalla?
Like my mother would say, BLESS your Hearts.
Keep up your good work of reporting!
thanks for the updates fellas. good job
Thanks for daily updates we were flooded by IDA here in New Jersey after 3 Days the media no longer cares …your on your own tough cleaning up it’s 3 months just getting normal ….Beautiful Country best of luck stay safe ….loved 4 wheeling in New England looks like you do it just to survive…
Thank you for the updates it really makes the heart happy to know the prayers are working and everything is working good i hope everyone remains safe and you and your own are safe and best wishes from your neighbor in Alberta!
I simply enjoy engineering and that’s what I look for in the presentation.
The enormity of the original Coquihalla Pass is admirable. At the time, the enormity of the rain due to weather pattern change was probably not considered possible. But now its happening all over the world. And down the road in the lower mainland.
It’s going to take more ongoing review to ensure maintenance / upgrades prevent such extensive damage. All over the world, we see how more and more severe weather is destroying infrastructure. And that’s not all, look at the devastation of the wild life in Africa. Time to place support system there to allow the animals to be around for future generations. A case of feast and famine with fresh water supply as the rainfall patterns grow and move.
All the best for storm free winter. 🙂💌🙏
i drive that yellow tractor # 12745, i saw it in the video with the couple you did a couple weeks ago, i cant wait to gether back, thanks for the updates
Amazing how much water is still coming down those rivers despite the rains having stopped. The ground must just be soo saturated.
You're the best! Thank you for everything. Stay safe.
Great quality stuff. Short, concise and precise comments. Good quality shots. Please keep going at least until things are substantially open. You're far more informative than the "news". Thank you.
I see lots of standing around...let's go guys show some hustle 😉
Nice video!
excellent update
this guy is a beauty
You should open a patreon account and put it in with the video description. You know you do good work!
I agree they should totally open a patreon, I think it would be well supported
Wild, a telephone poll just dangling. 🍻
Thank you for this. Awesome work here man
keep the updates coming ..very interesting !
This guy went from like 2000 subs to 11000 in like a 2 weeks nice
We are copping it Down Under in Queensland as well mate, we finally got a couple of dry days and now it's back again with heavy rain and severe storms possible again tomorrow. Everything is saturated so if it does all low lying areas will go under, one of my farms has been cut off for the last week due to the river in one direction and impassable logging roads in the other, the guys would need to walk the dozer out to go the high route. Not as bad as you guys have copped tho but we feel for you.
Tell you what, if I were them I wouldn't park three 18/20 tonners end to end on that bridge, that's asking for it.
Awesome videos keepem coming :)
Thanks for the report. Looks like a lot of standing around going on. Can they not get more equipment in there? We need to crack the whip by the looks of things.
Reminds me of construction in Ontario, 10 people standing around for every one person working...
i love these videos keep it up!~
I hope every single one of you are being paid fairly and getting rest after your hard days work. Don’t forget self care, it’s important!
Essential road workers are heroes
Awesome ♥️ 👍👍🙏🌞
Thanks for keeping us up to date on the road work. Will you be able to snag that huge fir for firewood. :-)
Stay safe.
Thank you.
Wow, amazing layout of assets hope they get shit done well and swift.
Well, on the bright side they don't really need to worry about traffic control...
Nice video. That fir tree you were standing on was likely hundreds of years old. First storm that was worthy of taking her down.
beautiful Elliot Grid
Great video updates, keep up the good work!
I have to ask: Am I the only one who noticed that the majority of workers on this project seem to be just standing around and talking to each other? Maybe a few of them could be flown by helicopter to the north end of the project and get some of that iron moving? I fear that the project is being paid for by taxpayers with equipment and manpower by the hour, not on fixed price basis from what I’m seeing on this construction site.
Out of 10 workers only 3 should/would work and rest should stand with black glasses and safety vests to ensure the safety of others. And everybody is wondering why everything is made in China.
Great update. Too bad you're not informed of their repair plans.
How did your bridge hold up for you to get to your property? Stay safe. One day at a time.
Excelente trabajo de lnformar lo que esta ocurriendo en Canadá
From all your videos (which are great by the way) it appears that they are rebuilding back to the same widths and standards that failed in the first place.
I thought the same and then realized I was being an armchair engineer and didn't consider the limited budget and timeframe they have to work with. The road needs to be opened now. Engineering a better solution can come later.
Yeah. Designing a whole new bridge would take a lot longer than reusing existing designs and like J said they need those roads open
These are the temporary repairs. The goal is to get the Coq open to commercial traffic by late January. The new and improved fixes will come later.
My thoughts as well. Obviously the quickest easiest thing to do is just put it back the way it was, but from my uneducated perspective it would seem that if the river is wanting to go there when it gets flooded, then it will do the same thing the next time it floods. It basically showed us where it needs to go and we should probably give it room to do so. All that water coming around that bend doesn't seem to have enough room to flow under that bridge.
I don't remember seeing such large riprap used before.
What these guys accomplish in one day would take any City Road Crew in Canada at least a month. They deserve a hot bubble bath and massage paid for by the people of BC after this. They're heros!
A city work crew also doesn’t have this kind of equipment, or money. lol
Thank You for the Update Super J . Nice seeing Them back at Work . Was that partial Sun that I saw ?
this is kanada
what we do best...build by codes & regulation.3 weeks of Rain..now sunshine vancity🇨🇦🖤
Are you sure that's a Fir? It looks like a Ponderosa.
I love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Could be if it came from Merritt/coldwater area
@@toyotasupra97 Coldwater flows north, Coquihalla flows south.
@@jacksonmacd didn’t say the rivers did I? Said the area.
@@toyotasupra97 According to the video, it "came down during the flood" - presumably transported by the river. I don't understand how it could have been transported by water and arrived at the Sowoqua creek area if it came from the Merritt area/coldwater area as you speculated. It would have gone towards Merritt. Or maybe it was transported by truck and placed there which seems unlikely.
A shutout to all the workers who are working hard to get the coquihalla repaired.
crap snow in the forecast
hang on
