Hello Chris . My husband who is 44yr old operated equipment for 28 yr . But in 2018 he had a stroke and it caused brain damage and left him in a mental state. So he can't work anymore. I put your videos also other creators on for him to keep him entertained. He watches every one of your videos several times. Keeps him smiling . So thank you Chris for entertaining him. Blessings to you and your family
I've been fascinated by some of these videos and it's not just because I enjoy seeing work being done or dirt moved around. It's clear that the operator has learned to engage his mind to understand the three-dimensional forces affecting his work and the machine, sometimes solving pretty complex puzzles to do the work. So I suspect that you, in providing your husband with these videos, are not only keeping him entertained but also helping his brain into figuring out how to work around some of the damage caused by the stroke. Good for you!
Been there done that quite a few times. Mostly pickup trucks and a few tractors. Buried a Ford model 1920 halfway up the motor, had to hire someone with that one.
There are those that are stuck, and those that will be stuck in the future. Anyone that’s never been stuck has never been in that kind of material. Ponds and swamps are a whole different world.
right, but if you want it extreme, be sure to check out "Extreeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme dinosaurs!!!! ---> ua-cam.com/video/VI__EW_fPJs/v-deo.html
Fun to do, until you realise it's just going to get filthy again within a fortnight. Which is exactly what happened when I bought a pressure washer to take months of grime off my car. No point washing it until the rain stops and everything can drain away.
Quick-clay is perhaps the most scary one. This one was filmed in Alta, Norway last summer where luckily no one was killed: ua-cam.com/video/VWOsGjJo_oI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AroundNijkerk. There also was one this jan. 3rd at Gjerdrum where 10 people lost their lives when a quick-clay landslide took out a part of a village. It's stable until disturbed, then it just liquefies as this demo shows: ua-cam.com/video/p12DHwA566Y/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NVE.
@@martinusmagneson that first landslide had my jaw on the floor- imagine the entire fucking neighborhood where you grew up just casually sliding into the ocean.
He knew who to call !! lolol... He said, "Chris is the Man" !! I agree you know those machines Chris !! Glad you got him out without any real problems.... Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening....On too the Next....
Was using my E35 bobcat back in the fall cleaning around the pond. Looked pretty solid. Scraped a few saplings and such down and looked out the cab and couldn't see my tracks anymore. Never felt the machine sink, guess I sat there too long. I promptly backed out and decided "Nope...central VA is too far for Chris to drive to get this outta here." When I get brave again I'm cutting logs and taking with me...when it's very very dry.
It’s always good to have someone like you Chris that will go help people like him that really don’t know much about equipment but another job well done brother and as always you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man
Very impressive. I like the way Chris treats the machines gently, it came out with no damage and with economical movements. I imagine if you keeping trying something that's not working, you could just get stuck in deeper.
Chris made that look almost casual. Barely 8 minutes into the video, and he had the machine well on its way to being free. That is pure experience and knowledge of the machines in general. Good short video. Plus...continue with the good fortune and success of the channel. I’ll possibly be out of videos to watch after the snow we are supposed to get over the next 3 days in Maryland. Keep them coming Chris. 👍🏻
Could a power winch, attached to the excavator, have helped get it out, like a 4X4 stuck in mud or on a boulder? Big excavators in Canada get stuck in peat bogs!
Chris you are a class act you help a guy out of a jam with respect and the best operating skills I've ever seen, great video thanks for sharing God bless ❤️😀👍
I just realized that excavators can use their two treads combined with the arm and bucket to climb in a similar way that parrots use their feet combined with their neck and beak. That's why this talented operator will someday be able to climb a tree with his excavator, if he can ever find a tree big enough and with the kind of branches his beak... I mean bucket... can grab onto.
When in doubt and you can’t get it out, call Chris! I know that the video was edited, but basically it took you 12:00 minutes to get it out. In addition to being the pond master, you are a excellent recovery expert.
Chris's mini pads for a mini excavator. Almost like it was choreographed. I love my outside faucet that comes out of the basement so I can mix the water to the temp I want.
Snowed 3” here Thursday and still had some in my yard this Saturday morning waiting on some more , but I hope that was it for the season! It’s been too wet to work except in the street of parking lots for us .
@@eddiemortontapman7252 Wow, just can't imagine...here I am in Houston and I think its cold at 60 degrees...lol I have my girlfriend fly down from RTP on the weekends instead of me flying up. Private aviation of course.
That's probably ice with frost on top not snow. It's rare for Chris to get snow in the eastern part of NC. I live in Western NC. It's not impossible to get snow around eastern nc but it is very rare
Both wrong. Hey one old guy was talking to another old guy and he asked him what type of underwear he prefers. Boxes or briefs. The other guy thought for a moment and then said. Depends. 😀
Chris, I came back to your sight to share something with you...if you havent already seen...little southern brothers...go watch some of the most recent videos. It will do your heart good. Their daddy is a logger but these boys are precious!
Square bales are the best thing I’ve ever used getting stuck equipment out. Mud, sinkhole, anything as long as you can get the tracks up to shove bales under them or even pieces of bales and pack it in it will come right out
I've been working dirt for 35 years for the last 15 years I know 🤔 when to let a site sit and set up. Economically it just isn't worth it. It completely takes the profit out of the job And make something that makes you happy and that you love Turn into a miserable experience
I finished watching the video and I go to give a thumbs up and noticed 4 thumbs down. Why? Never ceases to amaze me. If you don’t like that kind of content then go watch something else. I just don’t get it. Thank you for sharing Chris!
Chris just laughs all the way to the bank. Any click pays money. UA-cam counts a thumbs down the same as a thumbs up. They both get counted as interaction, and raises the value to get recommended more, so more eyeballs. If they really hate it, they would do nothing and move on. Thumbs down, thumbs up, comments good or bad all help Chris so keep on clicking and commenting folks.
Did the exact same thing with my Komatsu at a mate’s farm. Turns out I’d tracked through an old filled in duckpond, and sunk to the tailpipe. Added a couple of bags of kitty litter to firm up the mud a bit and managed to see-saw up on cribbing, and tracked back out the way I went in.
My excavator running experience is green as it gets, but I even know not to get next to creek running into a swamp/pond. Nice rescue, nice of you to not call him out to harsh on marblehead move.
Okay I admit there was a moment I thought "Maybe this underpowered shovel will not come out without a bit of extra help" but then you just had to go prove me wrong again :P

What a beautiful sentiment.. I hope someone will do that for me when its time.

- *"I wasnt stuck until I got stuck."*
Been there, done that lol
I wasn't stuck; I just couldn't get out . . .
LOL
Been there done that quite a few times. Mostly pickup trucks and a few tractors. Buried a Ford model 1920 halfway up the motor, had to hire someone with that one.
The man is smart, he has a friend named Chris. Job well done and fast.
"i'm not stuck, I just can't get out." Most amazing line ever.
I wanted to upvote, but I will leave as is (nice).
I’m not stuck, I just can’t move. T-shirt material right there.
Sure would!
I'd buy that.
Nice to see a Fighting Sioux fan on here.
@@DW-qs5pp Gotta always represent!!
And the "Everything was fine, until it wasn't".
"Everything was fine until it wasn't" 😉
Great job Chris and good sport Mark 👍
That should be on a shirt
@@adamorsini4585 seriously, I’m still laughing. At least he has a good sense of humor about it.
You're a good guy to help out and not be too hard on him ( even though he seems to recognize his error). Kindness pays.
You don’t ever get mad, do you, Chris? I hope folks were as patient with you as you are with others! You are a good person!
There are those that are stuck, and those that will be stuck in the future.
Anyone that’s never been stuck has never been in that kind of material.
Ponds and swamps are a whole different world.
Not quite as extreme as the last one, but hopefully this’ll be another hit!
right, but if you want it extreme, be sure to check out "Extreeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme dinosaurs!!!! ---> ua-cam.com/video/VI__EW_fPJs/v-deo.html
I would enjoy seeing the power wash! It's one of those things people enjoy seeing.
like watching paint dry
@@arnoldromppai5395 people actually like seeing power washing....which is WAY faster than paint drying, and WAY more obvious in progress as it occurs.
Fun to do, until you realise it's just going to get filthy again within a fortnight. Which is exactly what happened when I bought a pressure washer to take months of grime off my car.
No point washing it until the rain stops and everything can drain away.
@@Skorpychan the expert in this video said it needs to be done immediately. Are you an expert saying it doesn't?
@@rubecork7102 ya ok get were your at
"I'm not stuck, I know exactly how to get out". * Calls Chris*
That there's called wisdom
This shows off that his skill, not the equipment, is the key thing you're hiring with someone like him
It always amazes me seeing some types of soil just act like a liquid when enough weight or pressure is put on them.

This one looks like a piece of cake for you! Love these rescues!
He rescued a cute little baby Deere. Well done
That is some professional level mud fun.
Chris's excavator recovery services. Business is booming.😂😂
And Chris said he didn't like mud.
@@stevenr8606 He likes money just fine...
He knew who to call !! lolol... He said, "Chris is the Man" !! I agree you know those machines Chris !! Glad you got him out without any real problems.... Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening....On too the Next....
Hm a this point is he just going around in the middle of the night stashing machines in the mud to farm views? ...Because Ill watch them all! lol
Chris needs a "Warning, Not an Amphibious Vehicle" sticker to give out after these recoveries.
"I wasn't stuck until I got stuck"
Pic of it sunk on a T-shirt!
I love how you weren't hard on the guy, just helped him get it out. Good stuff.
lol the angles you were sitting at made me think of a really bad amusement park ride where the people are yelling, "PLEEEEASE! LET ME OFF!"
Was using my E35 bobcat back in the fall cleaning around the pond. Looked pretty solid. Scraped a few saplings and such down and looked out the cab and couldn't see my tracks anymore.

I didn't believe for a minute he was stuck, a little immobilised may be but not stuck.
he's right.. You da man, Chris!!!!
Nice work and cleverly done. Helping him out is a good way to make a friend for life.
When you get that Deere-in-the-headlights look...
Actually the issue was the 'Deere' , they're very weak
Bravo - it's like watching a skilled surgeon at work!
It’s always good to have someone like you Chris that will go help people like him that really don’t know much about equipment but another job well done brother and as always you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man
Twelve minutes for that one, I'm stunned yet again! Just amazing........
Like he said: You're Da Man !
Years of experience shines through, excellent of you to help a friend out like that.
Just goes to show... "there's no substitute for experience"... great job!
I now understand how people in Europe are still finding whole tanks buried in fields.
You think this video will reach 5.6m views like the last recovery video? Here hoping.....
Very impressive.
I like the way Chris treats the machines gently, it came out with no damage and with economical movements.
I imagine if you keeping trying something that's not working, you could just get stuck in deeper.
Mark... When it comes to those big boy toys, you are "Da Man".
Chris made that look almost casual. Barely 8 minutes into the video, and he had the machine well on its way to being free. That is pure experience and knowledge of the machines in general. Good short video.

“I wasn’t stuck. Until I was stuck.”
“You’re not stuck. You just can’t get out.”
😂 😂 😂
Now you know why your mom is always telling you not to play in the mud! You get stuck and you have to take a bath, afterwards!
It's probably a good thing it wasn't colder overnight.
Excellent recovery as usual!!!
Oh Mark, been there done that. No better way to learn than painful reality ! Love this channel. 1800dial8
Thank god for power washing. Great job of extraction.
“I wasn’t stuck until I got stuck”.
Sage words my friend. ;-)
Call 911? Noooooo!!! Call Chris 'n team. 💪

Big excavators in Canada get stuck in peat bogs!
Did you see Highway Thru Hell when Quiring recovered an excavator from the bog?
@@dennis2376 Yeah! He brought in Plan B. (written on the cab of the Caterpillar).
Chris you are a class act you help a guy out of a jam with respect and the best operating skills I've ever seen, great video thanks for sharing God bless ❤️😀👍
good work, put a smile on my face when you got it out
wow, hats off, you made that look easy. Thanks for sharing.
“help step excavator i’m stuck!”

Wife goes into labor I said wait babe Chris just put out a new video
Yea right, lmaoooo
Good rescue job once again. 👍😎
You just continue to impress with each and every video. As Mark said, "Chris IS the Man!"
Wow! Another amazing rescue.
Did he call you or were you at the right place at the right time?
Nice recovery guys good job.
As my Daddy said, "You Can't Beat A Man At His Own Game", Great Job!
When in doubt and you can’t get it out, call Chris!
I know that the video was edited, but basically it took you 12:00 minutes to get it out. In addition to being the pond master, you are a excellent recovery expert.
Nerve-racking I can’t imagine your job thanks for sharing
Good thing to know that the machine won't lift it's own weight...makes getting out near impossible for a novice. Nice job Chris!
I would get calls on rental machines in this predicament. "Oh, by the way, the track came off."
Good job 👍 He definitely was happy once you popped it out 😎
Why was he even out there in that muddy mess??
I could explain but you still wouldn't understand.
Where’s our sandwiches?
Cause that’s where the work was.
Chris's mini pads for a mini excavator. Almost like it was choreographed.
I love my outside faucet that comes out of the basement so I can mix the water to the temp I want.
Is that snow on the ground? Just like the postal service, work in rain, sleet, or snow...

I can't get enough of this! I told my wife that I'm hooked on "Excavation porn"! Subscribed!
Another great rescue. Well done.

6:04 That stump seems to be in a great position...
As long as all you want to do is scrape mud off the machine...
Lol... love it when they can laugh about it.
Hope you were paid well!👍
Perfect timing
Spring thaw mud = always use railroad ties or you will get stuck. Lucky for them the rescue is as smooth as a surgeon with an excavator.
You need music theme from mission impossible "Mission Impossible 18"
