As a city worker, I appreciate the new ideas. As for the gloves, you gotta call the boss and ask him to bring a few pairs out to the job. Hopefully he has to run to the big box store to get some. Buys at least an hour. Great video!
I work in industrial construction inside a running refinery. I have to wear long sleeves and long pants or suffer constant first degree burns from all the uninsulated steam pipes this 60 year old plant has. Not to mention that thanks to all of the missing insulation, our safety man measured 182 degrees Fahrenheit last week Monday on one of the upper floors. The only way to beat that heat is to just not be in it.
182 degrees will literally bake your organs from the inside out. How your factory/plant is allowed to operate at those temps is beyond absurd and dangerous. I would report it immediately.
OOF my guy, When i was in the Navy i had to stand watch in the freaking dumbass dark blue NWU uniform we still used back then, with a flak vest, m4, m9, and a whole bunch of other gear in the 140 degree heat of the middle east, i feel your pain. I just carried a gallon jug of water around, IDK if that's an option for you.
I do that as well. Work for a a rigging company. I work in foundrys and lead plants all the time. there are times that its 150 degrees and we have to weld. They give us freeze vest, and we weld for 15 mins and come down to get a drink. repeat that till the job is done
@@formoney5255 this is just clearly exaggeration. The highest recorded heat in the world is 134 degrees. You couldn't have stood in 140 degree heat regularly or at all
Regarding the delay with the slippery board thing. Rather than suggesting you should get gloves, feign a huge sliver encounter. Then you have the plausible deniability needed to spend extra time in the truck while getting the gloves you should've had to begin with. You're welcome... 😉 p.s. That way you don't need to actually break your leg.
Well sure. I mean, I actually (truly accidentally, not joking) cut my hand once a week or so, it's an extra smoke break and a 10 cent bandaid. Then back to chorin
Nothing says "Leave me the fuck alone" like feigning digging at your hand with a pair of needlenose or a knife for a couple minutes when you need a breather and then going to grab some gloves, lol.
I've done roofing all year round for 17+ years and we've buried the needle on a thermometer at over 145' F some days, I'm not sure but I don't believe the body can take much more than that .stay safe fellas
I believe it could be every bit of that. I carried a 3M digital laser thermometer for my work. It was 159° F on my driveway surface! I wondered why my dog was tip-toeing.
I was shingle roofing in Northern Kentucky in1976and 77 that winter the blizzard came coldest I rember it was 16 below 0 we missed 2 days becouse the Interstate was shut down.
I work at a hardware store in the lumberyard out in the heat. Even not working at an actual construction site, I actually use some of these techniques.
California plumber here, we do a lot of schools and we’re running gas pipe on top to feed all the units on the roof. Long sleeves wet them down before you put it on get that swamp cooler effect. I also get one of those under armor material neck gators and wet that thing down too put it around your neck and up into your hard hat. Shot works man I used to run short sleeves all summer until I started listening to the roofers they converted me haha
"Shovel in the shade" 🤣all this advice would make a city worker go "ok this should be called 'how to work for dummies', doesn't everyone know this how to work?"
Did construction for a little over 10 years in Phoenix. Somehow for most of my summer working I was in a Fab at Intel. But I did have my share of outside work too in the heat. A few times I had to get to A/C in either a truck or in a field office or a shady spot. One time I told my friend/Foreman that if I passed out to just roll me onto a pallet and forklift me into the back of a truck, 6' 275lbs or so at the time. In short (to late, I know) hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. While I was rigging precast concrete for garages or cladding, I would have 5 bottles of water on me.
Someone inform our GC that closing the entire 4 story building in with plastic and windows creates a freaking green house! The 4 box fans per floor pushing the stagnant 100 degree air around doesn't do a damn thing. Oh but have all that done by Friday.
Almost got mad till the ending. Full time farmer/commercial landscaper. It’s hot as the dickens out there. I heard if you don’t work outdoors without ac for 8 hours you can’t say it’s hot. 10 hours a day is a different beast. Bless everyone out there. Stay safe.
Working for the city in park construction and irrigation. Sqwinchers are my best friend. Literally. I've sweated 30 lbs off just because I'm working in parks, fixing the irrigation that magically forgets how to work during the summer time. Oh, the irony.
Yup! Working on a hot day to bring power to a new A/C unit, and as soon as it’s done, you’re fucking right off to the next adress without taking the cold air in even a little bit…
I work in south Texas I won’t hesitate too douse myself in cool water too stay cool 😎 it helps. I wear frc and dri fit underneath so I dry off pretty fast anyways.
Lol Miles, you crack me up! I own a small hardscapes business in western WI. And I know you're are close by because it was 100 degrees here yesterday. But you forgot my favorite trick for beating the heat. Hop in the skid with A/C! 😆 you're still workin, make tackle box shovel!
Good focus on heat exhaustion identification in your crew. Very important for a REAL tradesman to know the effects and short term and long term effects from working mostly outside for a persons career. Good video though! I appreciate the effort guys!
Lol you said lack of safety…. You should see us go!! I wish I could post some photos. I found with two guys you can turn a skill saw into the perfect table saw!
I've been setting up mobile homes for years. It's nice to find a nice puddle of water under the plastic after it rains. Like a cool waterbed. Versus doing the roof and roasting. Sucks when the boss says "there's nowhere to eat where we're going" bc that means we get to lay where we work and eat fucking ham and mayonnaise sandwiches in the 108 degree heat. Nothing makes me happier than leaving my house at 7 am and not being inside again until 6pm. Sweating from 7:30am until I get in the shower that night
I once did a job out in the Mojave Desert. Not construction, but we were hauling heavy equipment in 110° heat and it was DRY. I drank 12 bottles of water that day and didn't have to go to the bathroom once. And I wasn't even that sweaty, it was like the water evaporated right off my skin the moment it was secreted.
Just take tips from the one guy on every crew who is a master at not working. 🤦🏻♂️ They have mastered the art ... It takes great dedication to get to that level. They mastered not doing anything.. while looking like they do everything.
105 degrees today and no shade. Eat potato chips and drink beer. Potato chips have salt and which helps build electrolytes. Oh and water down with beer to create more electrolytes. That's the real Tech tip of the day
@@tommysalami5268 yea fuck that. I moved to Colorado in 2005 and it gets hot here but we have very little to no humidity so I don’t go get the mail and come back soaking wet lol
Electrical apprentice here. During this summer I was on a site for a restaurant. Shirts would be completely drenched in sweat at the end of the day. Once the insulation went up it was even worst since we didn't have any air flow inside. The funniest thing though, once we got temp power for air conditioning I was moved to another job to save on man power
Honestly, i found long sleeves can help. Background: I poured concrete. Now, hear me out. Im talking a LIGHT layer. Something to keep the sun off your skin, trap some of your sweat. I sweat a shit ton, it Helps keep the body cooler. Nylon button up shirts made for hiking work great. No, theyre not the most durable, but they do sincerely help.
I'm a electrician in Vegas,the heat sucks but the sun is killer here. I know that sounds weird, but if you live in the desert you understand. 130° in daytime vs 110° at night is a huge difference. Even 110 in the day vs 110 at night is different. That's why I'm moving back to MI in May. I'll take 5° over 120° any day of the week.
The last company I worked for before retiring was owned by lawyers. For 8 hours a day you had to wear your PPE. Now, we all know that there are certain jobs where gloves just don’t work. The lawyer’s solution…cut the fingers out of your gloves. Mr. OSHA loved us.
The lack of safety in this presentation merely serves as an accurate representation of the job site.
Lol and they do pop up at the worse time too.
remember kids, remove safety glasses, then squint as hard as you can
@@stevejeffrey11 lol right especially if you have dark Saftey glasses
I’m an OSHA safety inspector, I know exactly where that development is, see you there tomorrow sir.
Sir. The AC in the truck is busted. Shall I re-schedule that safety inspection for a later date?
Stop lying lol
Plot twist he's just coming by a site and decided to make a video. Trespassing at best
no you won't. He already broke his leg and is off 8 months.
I'll definitely be there 😅

Fricken Tacklebox’s incompetence is coming in handy! Good job TB
I swear it was either terry or dealer from fibre that literally broke their leg for roofers comp out in the ol Alberta
City worker here, sat in the shade for about 4 hours today and had an extended lunch
MAD RESPECT!
Ah yes, city tax dollars at work.
As a certified HVAC tester and balancer I can assure you most hospitals actually have shitty HVAC systems.
I like how you set a still rotating saw on your thigh. No danger, no problem.
It's got a guard on it an it was dang near stopped when he did lol.
@@ronniewilliz153 First rule of circular saws, if it's slowing down it's probably safe.
I have cut myself on a sawzall that wasn't movin'. That's skill right there.
I was thinking that it was a cordless saw in the truck
@@ryananthony3104 right it's all good
I'm a Texas tradesman and I approve this message! Don't forget calling in sick for roof days!

Here in Japan, they sell little heat sinks you can attach to your clothes to air condition your work outfit.

You would be lucky to not die from 140 degrees
I believe it could be every bit of that. I carried a 3M digital laser thermometer for my work. It was 159° F on my driveway surface! I wondered why my dog was tip-toeing.
Framer and roofer here and yup I love my hot and cold desert environments lol
I was shingle roofing in Northern Kentucky in1976and 77 that winter the blizzard came coldest I rember it was 16 below 0 we missed 2 days becouse the Interstate was shut down.
The exiting of the blue throne box... is possibly the greatest, most refreshing, breath of "cool" air... ever.
I actually clicked on this to get genuine tips for my husband and his workers 😣😂🤣😂🤣
As a former ironworker working in interior finish carpentry, this was very entertaining.
I work at a hardware store in the lumberyard out in the heat. Even not working at an actual construction site, I actually use some of these techniques.
I am a construction
Worker and i support this message!!
I think "the sun is undefeated" is my new phrase

Even then, the long sleeves and neck gator protect your skin from the sun. Good health benefits to do so
This was a great demonstration of how not to use that saw lol. You had me nervous for a bit. 😬 Thanks for always making us laugh. 😂🤣
No shiz
Did the board get cut? Then the saw was used properly
He's left handed.
If it looks stupid but werks, it's not stupid.
Not even safety glasses lol
The remained commitment to the nickname “tacklebox” is gold
Glad to see tackle box still working with ya
The meat behind the name is on rotation. It is like the 6 different dogs my grandpa named "Buster".
"Shovel in the shade" 🤣all this advice would make a city worker go "ok this should be called 'how to work for dummies', doesn't everyone know this how to work?"
Ice in the hat is the best thing I have found. If it's too cold on your head, put a towel on first, it'll help cover your neck too.

What’s the first thing you usually do when you’re a rookie in construction
This honestly gives me flashbacks when I was working construction and makes me SO glad I’m not doing it for a living anymore
Love the "don't sue me" disclaimer. 🤣
Someone inform our GC that closing the entire 4 story building in with plastic and windows creates a freaking green house! The 4 box fans per floor pushing the stagnant 100 degree air around doesn't do a damn thing. Oh but have all that done by Friday.

The skill saw sitting in the truck was hilarious! I've definitely "ran" the chop saw to get a smoke break in lol
The 105 temp yesterday in the twin cities gave you a video idea lol
Working for the city in park construction and irrigation. Sqwinchers are my best friend. Literally.

Great episode! You need to touch base with Flair over at Beefcake Construction. They are OSHIN approved. 🍺
hahahaha beefcake construction is always oshin approved
Sheeeewwww
This is one of my favorite videos, Myles.
Want to know some pretty good irony? Working in heating and air conditioning but not being able to enjoy either of them on hot or cold days.
Yup! Working on a hot day to bring power to a new A/C unit, and as soon as it’s done, you’re fucking right off to the next adress without taking the cold air in even a little bit…
The "break a leg" bit had me rolling!
4 ways to start off an amazing video
News flash. They hired a safety guy from Ecuador. He dislikes A/C as much as you dislike him.
I appreciate his dedication to have a farmers tan for the first bit
It would have taken 4 city workers to lift that board....🤣
Soooo funny!!! 🤣🤣 love the upcoming content! Should do a spoof on store bought above ground pools for the summer 🤔😅
literally sitting in my chair sweating my bawlz off
I work in south Texas I won’t hesitate too douse myself in cool water too stay cool 😎 it helps. I wear frc and dri fit underneath so I dry off pretty fast anyways.
I literally nicknamed a neighbor kid Tacklebox back when we were teenagers… yep… I’m that guy who gave out random nicknames for no reason.
Love the construction videos keep doing more
Shoot yeah mate. Helpful
i rarely subscribe to new people....but i like this guy!
we need another mowing video
Maybe with ginger billy as well
LOL i could still hear the blade spinning when you set the saw on your leg....you got me
dodge the cold by hanging out in the warm truck followed by dodging the heat in a ac truck 🤣

Id take a hot day over a cold day for sure and im saying that after a 102 degree day, i cant do those windy winter days
Lol you said lack of safety…. You should see us go!! I wish I could post some photos. I found with two guys you can turn a skill saw into the perfect table saw!
It's sun's out guns out! Not 80 degrees lose the sleeves 😂

Spot on about city workers. The only time you see those guys out their trucks is when they are getting lunch at the local taco shop.

You gotta take tacklebox to the gas station to get him proper gloves. Holiday is probably all bricked up on AC
80° 😂 . That’s a cold front in my neighborhood.
The sun is undefeated 😂😂😂😂
80°! It's 106 today with 90% humidity
The sun is undefeated. Truth.
I was just about to comment about the sawdust that went back in the window lol
Yeah. South Florida in the summer is brutal
Glad you included the bloopers!! I thought you placed a running saw on your leg man lol
And then when tacklebox still doesn’t know how to saw, just say he’s even stupider than you thought! Genius
You want no part of that the sun is undefeated 😂
Those pasty arms scream your the new guy on the job site🤣
I miss winter. Here in IL it rarely goes much below 0, so can pretty much spend most of the winter with a light jacket or a tshirt.
So when it’s 80 degrees you gotta loose the sleeves, show some knees, find shade under the trees and with tackle box share your expertise. Got it!
Epic
“Do I have a license to carry these guns”
Maybe, tell the gut that!
🍻
Miles, are you sure these aren't instructions for union workers?
I lost the sleeves and got an osha violation😂
This is a last option, but shitting your pants always sends you home.

Start about 4 Am if you can and drink plenty of water. Don’t get overheated, it can kill ya!!!!
Meanwhile….. Tackle box is still looking for a board-stretcher, “I can’t find it.”
Let's not forget using a trashbag as a fume catcher.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
