Update, the total amount of trash and junk removed was 131,870lbs!!
Should be some money in scrap metal to put towards future clean ups?
148,537 pounds.
We all have to do our part to help keep our parks and forests clean. If we all clean up after ourselves it won’t be as bad.
135255 lbs of junk
Great job Casey and everyone involved.. my guess is that you removed all the trash you humanly could.
You and Jason are what we Marines would call a force multiplier. You bring more then just yourself to the fight. Your videos result in a lot more people coming to the cleanups. I never thought watching tractor videos of you and Grumpy would end up with me cleaning up other peoples trash but it did. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Nice!
Job well d9ne sir. Thank you for helping, outside of your duties
Thank you Chad, for all your hard work. I wish I could have come but I live in Tennessee. Maybe someday, "Someday , Over the hillside, We'll grab trash." Hmmm, Needs work. :D:D:D
Rather the Elites like it or not Salvage can be a lucrative operation if you watch what is going on ? 😂 Or learn how to play the game ? 😎
Thanks!
You just can’t fix assholes! Great job clearing their mess Casey and all the volunteers that donated their time and work!
Unfortunately the world is full of them.
@@christophercraig289 its like political groups; each society has a LOT of them.
Especially liberal cities lol
People need to stop making a mess out there but thanks all who helped in this clean up 🙂
Don’t sell yourself short on how much help you are to the PLS, as the other gentleman at the end said it was a big portion of your viewers that showed up and shared these videos just like I do, and I live in Michigan.
Amazing work by everyone involved in the clean up and thank you for what you do on a daily basis.
Team work makes the dream work.
And I estimate the total trash, vehicles and everything picked up is around 133,000 pounds!
Fellow Michigander here
@@aprillester3212 WTH are you even talking about??
Hee-eey! With those cars, you don't have to be careful...have fun!
Amazing that there's that much crap out there...wow...
With all the bad news in the media, it's nice to see people doing something good. I'm sure this kind of thing happens a lot around the country, but never gets coverage on the main news. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help on this, you are all awesome!
Congrats! It shows now that you hit 100K! Casey, you might feel that you are only an itsy bitsy little cog, but it's all the little pieces that make it so that the larger ones can function with ease. Every little bit matters!!
This is the 3rd cleanup video you have made since I have been following you, Casey. I want to thank you and all who participated. Great video!
Like One Bridge said ... and as the song goes Stupid is Fo Eva !!!!
I would love to see a group of people do that in my area. There’s so much trash and abandoned cars just up the road. Awesome!
It's so much easier to change the oil filter when the truck's upside down!
Maybe, but then you have to figure out how to get it back on it's flat tires.......
Maybe that wasn't the purpose but to drain out the oil !!
Wes, lol so true! 😉
Hopefully the engine was empty and no oil has leaked into nature.
@@SuperBobby1974 Would have been nicer if the person that did it wasn't so empty headed.
There is a hierarchy with homeless people.
Those with running vehicles are "almost" not homeless, some do work and sometimes manage to recover.
That is the reason why so many of these vehicles look like repairs had been started. There is a real desperation amongst these people to not end up with a car that does not run because then they are just a moment away from being on the street for real.
Thanks for everyone that can attend, support and do their part. Check with your employer. Mine offers Volunteer Time Off. I used the time they offer Monday instead of using normal PTO. Looking forward to helping out again in September.
Wow, rescue and recovery, nothing like a nice dodge caravoyager first in the morning. And to he'll w. Safety, just actin normal. Great!
"...that makes my videos do really well..." That's when I tapped the Like button. Thanks, Casey, for all your hard work. Both in UA-cam and in the forest. And thanks to your editor. They really make you shine!
Yes I thank all of you for your time 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Evening Casey and thumbs UP for the massive clean up!
It makes me sick that people would do this! Thanks to all of you.
Almost 100K! 👏 Congrats! Crazy that there are so many abandoned cars out there!
Just crossed it!
@@CaseyLaDelle congrats on your new button that’ll be on its way!
I spent one day helping a trail crew of volunteers last Spring in Sierra National Forest. The group, Stewards of the Sierra, have been doing it for decades. It was very rewarding and I plan to do it again. The OHV staging area was closed to public for a good part of the summer due to using it as a base for fires near Yosemite.
Wow that is a lot of junk in the forest. Thanks for helping to clean it up.
It seems like it would have been a lot more efficient to bring in (if available!) a shredding machine and roll off containers to shred those vehicles and put the shredded material into the containers for carting out. The next biggest problem (and possibly insurmountable) is oil and other fluids coming from the shredded engines, axles etc. Maybe bring up the idea to the organizers?
Man, I can't believe how many volunteers showed up to do this. That was awesome! So sad that there is a need for it though! Great job to everyone!
That was very entertaining, without the need to keep from damaging the wrecks.
It takes a special kind of bad person to go foul up the woods for some trivial self-gain.
Thanks for keeping the woods beautiful.
Man that dolly is kick ass! thanks for what you do I appreciate anybody who keeps our woods clean
Looks like a repo/parking violation special!
Back in the mid 1970s I was operating tow trucks. Both had very similar tow dolleys. The ones Casey is using appear to be made of aluminum while ones I used were steel.
Wow! What a clean up effort by everyone involved!👍👍😎 Thank You for everything you do to help! Stay safe out there!❤️🙏
Congratulations on 100 thousand subscribers! 👏 I was appalled at how much crap you guys had to clean up and am horrified to imagine what that beautiful land would look like if folks like you didn't work to keep it beautiful. People truly are the worst inhabitants on planet earth. I hope they can sell scrap (and vehicles) to help offset the cost of keeping these areas beautiful and free for use. I'm not going to hazard a guess on how much you guys collected to throw away but I'll be horrified at the final tally. I humbly thank you and all the others that paid in one manner or another to undertake this daunting task. I enjoy seeing a video up to find what you're up to next. Stay safe and GOD bless
If you want to see other vids of Mar 11 cleanup, go to PRIMAL OUTDOORS, by Jason, in a brown van who introduced myself and others to cleanups. Subscribe to his channel, (photographer/living full time in van) look back to vid public Land Cleanup, on March eleventh, 22. Same area, with pics of more trash. Ows the mind!
GOD bless Americans🇺🇸 and Canadians🇨🇦
Great job. Thank you and everyone else.
Didn't stop at that stop sign!!!! Just because the guy in front of you didn't, doesn't mean you get to not stop to!
Great job by all the volunteers cleaning up the mess caused by inconsiderate people dumping their trash.
If those cars have not been reported stolen their owners should get fined and billed for the cleanup. I doubt pigs that dump these rigs are bright enough to find all identifying numbers.
It is beyond a crying shame how people trash the landscape. The fact that everyone else has to expend time, money, and resources to do this is sad. I've been on many clean-ups on land and water, as well as other kinds of habitat events, and I'm not sure we are winning? The people that show up for these clean-ups, are not the ones that should be cleaning it up ... but enforcement is just so difficult. That was a tremendous effort by all who participated. Heros come in many forms, and you guys and gals are one of them. Take care. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love your can do attitude 😁😁😁😁👍
Great job
Wow that's a ton of abandoned vehicles. Great job cleaning up public lands!!
Jason said the junk dumpsters were averaging over 3000 pounds each so 2 of those alone is over a ton.
Boy ill tell you what, here in upstate new york the underside of that dodge caravan is MINT you could eat off of that.good job with the cleanup.
GREAT job by everyone that showed up to clean up somebody else's mess!
Slick setup 🤙
Congratulations on the 100K subscribers! I wish I was out there, as I love doing anything outdoors and improving the outdoor experience. It also drives me nuts seeing people just dumping stuff anywhere. I would love to find out what these people are thinking.
You might not find much actual thinking going on 😉😉😉
@@judithburke1539 Agree. And I I'm with you about joining in. I don't have enough money to pay for the gas to get there from the east coast.
its hard to believe that people just leave all that out there , so awesome of all of y'all to clean it up , i did see the ford still sitting there , don't let it go anywhere , stay safe my friend
Blessings Ladies and Gentlemen!!! Mother Earth sighs...
That recovery rig you use is very cool. I've watched you use it s few times and it really does offer great towing options.
YIPPIE! You did reach 100,000 subs tonight! Get ready to receive your first youtube play button! Congrats Casey! 👍💯💯
Always look forward to seeing your videos great clean up 😁😁💟
Awsome job guys! I worked for backwoods forestry and wee worked for whearhauser and in one week just garbage we picked 52 tons just in garbage plus one left. Alone meth lab!. So my guess is going to be 350 to 400 tons!
Great job Casey- Also thumbs up to David as well!!
Thank you everyone for your Cleanup efforts
great job cleaning up .shame on the mess
You guys are awesome for cleaning up
Congratulations on 100k! 👍👏🎉🔥 Thank you for serving
Let no-one say, and say it to your shame, that all was beauty here, until you came. I never understood littering, in beautiful places, abandoned vehicles, even organic waste that may bring in plants or vegetation, that aren't native to the area, keep up the good work, all of you.
Awesome team doing a very noble thing.
Dig the channel and watch each content. Well done
Awesome job guys!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
I just don't understand people that leave trash and vehicles on public lands...Great job you guys are doing and if I was closer I'd be there with you
Thank you for helping clean this mess up. I bummed people treat our public lands this way.
Awesome job all you guys, well done to everyone👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🙏
Great work. Thanks to all of you.
You are doing awesome things! Thank you for cleaning up the homeless mess on China Hat.
It’s sad that citizens have to dedicate their time and efforts to clean up a preventable problem.
You guys are solid humans!!
My group cleaned the trash off that silver Corolla. Best we could figure, there was another car at the next site over that might have been that black Taurus. We grabbed the safety glass and a few parts left over from a car that was removed by something with tracks.
Edited to add: someone in our area stopped us to tell us their vehicle was disabled and we were free to haul it away... the cars were adding up even as we cleaned!
Thanks for the help!
The big question after seeing all those targets....uh, I mean, um, vehicles being pulled out of there....how many thousands of pounds of lead are scattered in those hills?
You are an inspiration. Love your videos. If I lived anywhere near you I would love to get involved with something like this. Good job.
There might be something similar where you live.
If there isn't something similar near you maybe you can start a clean-up like this. It's needed just about everywhere.
Out riding dirt bikes long time ago & there was a pickup dirty side up! There were four if us so we stopped to watch. The owner and his buddy pulled it out and rolled right side up. Then they popped the hood, pulled the oil dip stick out.
Then he pulled all the spark plugs out then went around and got into the drivers seat. My three buddies like looky Lou's and stood two on one side with one on the other while leaning into the engine compartment just as the ignition key was turned!
Oil sprayed out of every cylinder just soaking my buddies! I laughed so hard my ribs still hurt 40 years later. The truck owner looked at them like they were in his way, never said a word and went on to put the plugs back in.
My buddies were good guys had a lot of fun with them! I'm the only one left from that little group!
Good times!
Good video!
Great job on the cleanup. Congratulations on 100K!!
First rule of UA-cam is don’t read the comments!
at least don’t listen to the trolls and the haters
You’re doing a great job keep it up
I actually do read the comments, but I flip it around and try to egg on the trolls and haters!
Been called a tree hugger for picking up cans in the coast range so glad to see times are changing.
Thank whoever said it for the great compliment.
Left Oregon last summer. Hope to never step foot there again. Thankful for you and your teams efforts…doesn’t change what the state and major cities are now, but happy to see those that are staying…are working hard for it. Godspeed PNW, you’re going to need it.
Start a pick-a-part!
Casey; I need one of those
Everybody else; WHICH ONE? Be Specific. :D:D:D
Wow, What an effort by all involved. Wonderful, wonderful job Everybody! Honestly I was concerned when you said it was on Monday because so many would have to work. But the turnout was fantastic! Sorry to those who lost their favorite target van, sadly you will find another all too soon I'm sure. Again, thanks to all who helped, God Bless you all.
To be specific, I've always wanted an M1089..
@@CaseyLaDelle Well yes but then Who Doesn't. :D:D:D Sorry, I knew what you meant I just couldn't resist being a smart aleck. :D And the motorhome looked in pretty good shape. :D
When someone makes his job look easy....he is really skilled!!!!
I am glad to see there is people that still care what the land looks like when so many people don't Care.
I am humbled to see that it is STILL possible in this day and age to see SO many people get together and help EACH OTHER help cleaning Nature!! A HUGE _THANK YOU!!_
And to see this all happening whilst Casey hits his Well Deserved 100.000 Subscribers.. FANTASTIC!
Congrats Casey! 👌👌👊😎
I loved the decorative roundabout with all those scarp vehicles going round. Funny
Nice clean up job, almost 100,000 subs :)
20 more to go!
It's hard to believe that so many people just leave all that garbage and abandon vehicles out in the woods!! That's NOT the place for that crap!! Glad to see there are so many people giving of themselves to clean it up!!! NICE JOB!!!
This was freaking Awesome. Way to go all y'all. Once again David did a fine job with the camera. I think you should keep him. Peace.
It's truely infurating that so many people in America do these kind of things all across America and how few are able to clean up after them. Thankfully there are those like came together for this event. Thank you all.
Sure makes me sad for all that trash. Thank you all for cleaning up
This is nuts! I can’t imagine how that many people brought that much crap! Damn! I live in the Eastern sierras and thankfully people aren’t able to get away with this!! 14 days and then you have to move or your ass is getting towed. Thank you guys for doing this and I hope those in charge don’t let this happen again!!
Great video! Nice to see people that clean up after total LOSERS!! Wish you could have law enforcement run Vin numbers, maybe prosecute these jerks!! Just subbed ya by the way, loved the lawn mower cleanup!! Be safe my friend!
What good would prosecuting them do? Prosecuting them Will just put more debt on them they can’t pay. We need low income housing where rent is not hiked up every year and living wage jobs.
Hello everybody, really did a wonderful JOB getting rid of the old cars in the woods, and the parks look very BEAUTIFUL AND SAFE AGAIN TO GO FOR WALKS ETC. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE CLEAN UP IN THE FOREST AND PARKS. HELLO CASEY.
A friend of mine here in California has 3 of those 6x6 X military wreckers/crane trucks. They are awesome off road when big mussel is needed. And he uses them in winter for yanking big rigs out of snow banks. When others are rigging to wench a big rig out. He hooks with a really big strap and yanks then out and back onto the road. His scene is cleared and on to the next while others are still fighting wenching from snow banks. He has used them for off road airplane crash recoveries those 6x6 trucks are big brutes and are a great tool to have
Some people move into the country, eat a lot of peaches. Others go into the forest, tow a lot of cars. Congrats on 100k Casey!
Casey,the white chev astro van.it got a plate on it.can the person who owns the van.get a bill for the removal of the van ? ty for your service and the Volunteer,s for the clean up
If it's not stolen, possibly. But that's outside of anything I deal with. I'm just one of the guys who drags them out
Remember, it is very likely many of these cars may sport stolen plates that do not match the car as found.
@@CaseyLaDelle okay .just wondering .
Hey Casey !!! ""CONGRATS "" on 100K Subscribers for sure !!!🙃😉😉😛🤪💣💣👍👍👍👍👍👍 Great videoing & Thanks to ALL that were there for this event !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍🤔🤔🤠🤠🤠😎😎😎😮😮
Great job by you and all of the volunteers cleaning up the forest and hopefully it doesn't get littered up again so quickly. Unfortunately as you pointed out in this video there are a lot of people who are contracted to do clean ups on a property and will charge a person for a landfill and intentionally dump the mess into a national forrest to increase their profits and rather than pay for the landfill charges.
You definitely need one of those heavy tow rigs with the skills you already have you could increase your capacities for off road recoveries and add some great UA-cam content. 👍
Oregon must be the place to stash abandoned cars never to be seen again till there's a community clean up!
Amazing. Forgive the question, but is it the same or a different area from earlier this year with the cleanout? Regardless, awesome to see all of the people and companies giving back to the area. Still amazed at how many "vehicles" were pulled out. Kudos to everyone involved in the cleanup.
I think he mentioned it was 2-3 hours north of the last cleanup
We've done this area once before, but the last cleanup video I posted was a different area
@@CaseyLaDelle
Did you get a resolution on the toyota that didn't have a sticker to be able to haul away?
@@larrybe2900 nope, can't touch it
@@CaseyLaDelle @William Lloyd - thanks for clarifying. was unsure as the final staging area appears to be the same as that earlier video. I didnt spend as much time in the backwoods on that side of the cascades as I did on my side (Roseburg). Except for the Richardson Ranch /Priday agates near Madras. Lots of summers there. I love watching your videos so I can see new areas that I want to go wander around in. Again, major kudos to everyone helping "Keep Oregon Green" (my little throw back to the 70's). Now if only people would remember the old mantra of "pack it in, pack it out" you guys would not have to hold these events.
A Special Thanx to All Who assisted With the Clean up
Have a Great Day 👍😀
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
And to all the Volunteers 🙋♂️👍👏
Hay Casey love the videos and love you helping clean up the area ,We find the same thing happens In New Zealand with dumping but some of its lazyness and some is because its so expensive to dump cars,Keep up the good work.Always love seeing you guys and Matts off road
Thanks for taking care of Mother Nature. You made her proud today!
You're doing good work, I wish I could make a living doing what you do , i know there is more to it than what we see but cool.
So good to see the motorcade of trash vehicles going to be disposed of .❤️❤️👍👍👍
Teamwork makes the dream work here Casey, the amount of crap you ALL as a team is gonna be mindboggling once the total is known!
Casey Thanks for starting the ball rolling..
I love what you all are doing. It does seem like you all move the vehicles too many times??
Three times. Once out of the woods and to the loading site, then to the long term storage area about 20 minutes away, then finally to a scrap yard
Paperwork processing for the DMV is the problem that has to be dealt with before the vehicles can be scrapped
If you guys ever want come to northern Cali there is a place on blm land I used to explore and camp as a kid in out side of my home town that is now unfortunately a place people dump cars it's so sad because it used to be a nice camp site . there is 4×4 access and idk how cars there are now maybe 10 or more good news is there is a junk yard about 15 min away I will totally help I have a toyota with a winch and a understanding of snatch blocks and the simple parts of recovery I've had to save my self a few times off roading but I'm not experienced with driving with a trailer. thanks for what you do I've always cleaned up what I can on public lands but I'm only one person
looks like someone was opportunistic about the clean-up and dumped their car with trash hoping it would be taken for free
Thank you Casey and everyone involved for cleaning up our public lands in our beautiful state! You guys are awesome!!
