Getting used to the heat in the summer is a lot easier for me. Most people don’t spend any appreciable amount of time outside in extreme heat or cold, so it’s hard to realize your body and mind can acclimate. Cold weather still sux though.
@John barfneck All I know is the body get worse in cold temps. Once it goes its never right again. I kmow this from steel warehouse work. Coils retain temps. Arthor Itis is a bad man.
I "immerse" myself by bringing out a 6 pack and stickin it in a snow bank.. Fire up the blower and get to work! Granted this ain't the best type of immersion if your actually driving a snow plow. ;-)
I have 8 beautiful GSD , and it's a lot to handle sometimes but I have a very supportive wife that loves animals just as much as I do so im very lucky and blessed.
You’re a huge inspiration bud, I wanted to buy brand new truck and i said Andrew fixes his stuff, let me fix mine, and if you have to buy - buy a second hand, who needs all the headache with payments etc. Andrew knows how to run the business 👍
I'll give that a thumbs up. If someone is looking to have a shiny truck that looks good pulling up to the contractor door at Home Depot, then by all means go for it. But you're right, a work truck doesn't need to look good, it needs to get the job done. Plow trucks take a huge amount of abuse, especially in rural areas. It's not like plowing paved driveways in the suburbs. There are hidden stumps and boulders under the snow. Hell I cracked a frame on some frozen ground that heaved up once. I limped home, welded some patches and it's still holding strong four years later. One of my cousins bought a plow for his 2018 F250, he drives it like it's made of glass because a major hit will screw up his beautiful truck and cost a bundle. Useless.
Andrew has turned me into an addict. Instead of turning to AA as my recovery partner, I turn to AC (Andrew Camarata). Only his videos help me recover my addiction to watching heavy equipment operation, snowplows, dogs, aerial drones and more. Keep 'em coming Andrew. I need a lot of help and this is the only channel I get excited when I see that you posted a new video to watch. Bravo!
Sober life is the best life don't waist your time with fake happiness. Save money stay healthy and stay clean it's really worth it. I hope you succeed in your struggles. Peace be with you.
One reason I like watching AC is he never asks you to like his page, or get notifications when uploads a new video. Most all of other u tubers do. He lets his work speak for itself.
He makes anything interesting. It's how he delivers the information. Few words, even tone and doesn't make the viewer seem dumb. I am shopping for a drone. Would welcome his thoughts on that.
I think my favorite part about watching the snow plow videos is the fact you get to see all the other jobsites I've witnessed in other videos, except covered in snow, which shows time has passed..
Recognized the silver travel trailer parked in the trees where you did a job, and also that building you took down some trees and dug out behind it for better drainage on another job. Good to see Levi and Sadie again. Also Andrew, always carry an assortment of zip ties in your truck. They come in handy for a lot of things. Great video as usual.

@ Not really. Complete difference between being unable to drive on a ploughed road in a shitbox 2WD, to a truck with 4WD ploughing a a snow covered road.
I bet that Levi and Sadie said to plow the driveways very fast so to knock off a lot of it stones so in the spring you can bring more stone back to the customers and tailgate it in. Smart dogs!

No better way I can think of to enjoy a hot cup of coffee than with an AC get her done video, I totally agree with the getting used to the cold but I think I would need a small wood stove to knock off the chill in the shop when it’s below freezing but I’m half the man you are lol 😂 thanks again for making my day better, it’s so nice to see your happy dogs always ready to have another adventure with you, I think Levi thought you under the truck was unacceptable lol ✌️
I agree with you. This guy has tons of wood just lying around so having a nice wood stove to back up to every now and then would not seem to be to expensive.
I dont like messing around with getting the wood stove going so unless it's pretty cold I don't bother. When I do though I do it the same way every time. Crumpled newspapers, 6 pieces of firewood stacked 2 on 2 on 2, diesel fuel and blowtorch. Takes about 5 minutes and includes hauling the wood from the pile.
I would hang a large propane heating unit with the fan. Their cheap enough and easy to install and run . at least you can turn it on while working to get the chill out of the garage ?
Moved to snow country a year ago, and neighbors were wonderful at clearing our driveway. Bought a Can Am Defender and a plow, got a new straighter driveway. Watching your technique is invaluable. Won't have nearly the volume or cold you have, but watching your techniques will help. Thanks for posting.
what a great simple video Andrew I like how I recognise the places you was plowing from your other videos from tree felling excavation jobs looks like you have got a few customers for life...Stay Safe
I find it funny I've never been to wherever you are but yet I can tell where you are just from previous videos of jobs you've posted. As you're driving, I'm thinking, hey, i know that field..you mowed it, or hey, I recognize that travel trailer from a couple videos. Keep up the awesome videos please.
I’ve been plowing snow and fixing equipment for over 30yrs... I’ve never attempted to put a truck on a lift with the plow attached (being a pick up truck) although always thought it would be too front heavy and make it dangerous, even using a proper lift.. I guess you do learn something new everyday haha.. thanks for posting this dude.. this will hopefully save me some time and bullshit knowing it can actually be done 👍
Always love to hear about this truck and your snow plowing ventures. We used to have a 1977 F150 Ranger plow setup that my Dad taught me how to plow in. Before that a 60s Jeep with the floor boards rotted out. Our driveway is about 1000ft so it was always a bit of a job to get it done, but nothing like that house on top of the mountain in your previous video. Great to know you can buy a cheap truck and get tons of work out of it without worrying about the body work or payments or anything like that.
What a treat. Two in one day. It never hurts to have a burlap bag or two in the truck. They are great to provide some traction when stuck. Canadian tip.
That’s the right truck for what you’re doing. With all those trees and rocks, some day you’re bound to bump off something. As long as you maintain it as you are, I’d do the same thing!
You truly have it made, thanks for sharing. Playing with toys in the dirt and snow in beautiful country, fixing and building things, great attitude and common sense. 😁 Yes I’m living vicariously through your videos. Lol.
My Dexter loves watching Levi & Sadie. I just got back from the vet. I thought he injured himself turns out his Lime disease is back. F$c%^& horrible. Your the man.
Andrew, hats off to you. In all the videos I've watched ( hundreds ) in bad situations whether your fault or someone else, you have never list your cool or cursed.
andrew, please do a video of picking up a seat for your truck at the junk yard. then installing and get a levi approval. i think many subscribers would be pleased. 2 video's in 2 days, thank you.
Hey Andrew thanks for the informative video I had no idea I had to grease my truck like that. Your videos are very entertaining and packed with good tips thank you!
I've seen tons of those split right between the cab due to corrosion. Issue is The plant where these trucks are built doesn't put enough corrosion protection on the frames for the Northern section of the US. Hence why now they are forced to warranty the frame and replace them when the frame is showing signs of cracking. My Dad's Chevy did the same thing so its not just Toyota's, lostintime86.
I agree with not heating your shop for the exact reasons you mentioned. The bonus to not heating your shop is being able to work outside for hours when it is cold. I live in northern (lower) Michigan and don’t even feel the cold unless it is single digit temps. Nice job with the maintenance of your plow truck and the tips about the non-functioning plow. Thanks for sharing, Andrew!
You need a Positraction Rear Axle to get unstuck better…like we do here in Northern Minnesota. Carry your FARMER HI-JACK and rope to rig a quick plug you out jack configuration. I would plow with an old articulating log-skidder with a heavy articulating plow attachment ….if you can find one. It seems that your plow blade of your fold over a lot. A larger unit with a larger plow would allow more build-up of snow to push aside. A one ton truck with a 2-3 yard box and single wheels rear works good in snow too. Duals wheels, in which the outside tires don't tract in front tire path on long pushes, have to fight the snow to make a path.. But a bigger truck means a larger and heavier plow to do a better job. Of course therfe are many ways to plow snow from a teams of horses to a large construction machine.

I know your not going to agree but in about 10 or 15 years your view of working in the cold will change, i keep my garage at about 45 degrees when working nowdays,but i was more like you years ago!
ANDREW YOU ARE AMAZING !!! People like you make the world better.. best youtube content ever period.. keep doing awesome work and inspire us to do the same ! Tank you..
I agree with you on how to stay warm in the winter. Less heat make you more hearty for sure. However I still heat my garage to 40deg all winter to keep fluids and other things from freezing. Have a Clean Burn CB2000 waste oil heater and i get used motor oil at work for free.
i enjoy your maintenance vds, its such a monies maker havin sharpe blades, engines that start etc...hope to see more like that , any plans for future lumber side business
Man I just wanna take a couple weeks off and hangout with Andy and check out the land, check out his stuff, fix a buncha stuff, learn how to fix a buncha stuff, learn how to operate a buncha stuff and just sit back at the end of each day and talk about all kinds of stuff. Cool vid young fella☺! Keep up the great work! Love that never give up attitude! I love it when he's done fixing sumthin' and he says "alright this thing's fixed"!!
@Andrew You have an "apartment" on the second level of your castle, right? What sort of heating do you use in the bedroom? Toilet? I wouldn't want to sit down on a below freezing toilet seat in the middle of the night........lol
Andrew, I am a firm believer in the "acclamation process" to the cold. I spend countless hours in a tree stand hunting and let me tell you, when you cant move and your exposed to the wind day I n and day out you start to build up a tolerance to the cold. I will say as you get older a little heat is nice in a garage when your hands are exposed to metal tools but just a little is all you need. Spring is coming buddy and I cant wait to cut trees and get to work with excavating again. Good vid and stay safe.
I really don't like how that truck looks BUT you keep it running, and that is the sole purpose of a money making machine, so Mr. Camarata you are impressive!

You’re absolutely right about acclimating to the cold. Best way to enjoy the seasons is to immerse yourself.

of course i used zip tie almost for everything
If it works why not?
Those big ass zip ties are awesome.
Good thing Levi told you how to fix it, great video!
Hey man I really like your videos,keep it up!!
I like watching you plow snow you seem to be very efficient and economical in your moves
Now I know when the snowmobile video was made, that was great. Go gettum Andrew. Let no snowflake be unturned....
wow, love the ending with aerial shooting.... sweet....
You need carry a set of tire chains ! It's good to be young and full of energy .
he has chains, that wasnt a time for them
You think this guy doesn't have tire chains? He has everything.
This guy probably has a hidden skid loader on that truck somewhere
Hi Andrew , Ken here from Co Meath Ireland , I watch all your You Tubes .. learning allot love your house and I love the area you live in ,, fab scenery both in the good and bad weather .. Keep up the good work .... Ken the True PaddY from the GREEN ISLE
I know your not going to agree but in about 10 or 15 years your view of working in the cold will change, i keep my garage at about 45 degrees when working nowdays,but i was more like you years ago!
ANDREW YOU ARE AMAZING !!! People like you make the world better.. best youtube content ever period.. keep doing awesome work and inspire us to do the same ! Tank you..
Awesome video
I agree with you on how to stay warm in the winter. Less heat make you more hearty for sure. However I still heat my garage to 40deg all winter to keep fluids and other things from freezing. Have a Clean Burn CB2000 waste oil heater and i get used motor oil at work for free.
i enjoy your maintenance vds, its such a monies maker havin sharpe blades, engines that start etc...hope to see more like that , any plans for future lumber side business
i just turned 18 and ive always loved watching snow plowing videos, my two favorite things are trucks and snow lol :)
Plow driveways in the winter and repair them in the summer. That’s a self-sustaining business model.
Man I just wanna take a couple weeks off and hangout with Andy and check out the land, check out his stuff, fix a buncha stuff, learn how to fix a buncha stuff, learn how to operate a buncha stuff and just sit back at the end of each day and talk about all kinds of stuff. Cool vid young fella☺! Keep up the great work! Love that never give up attitude! I love it when he's done fixing sumthin' and he says "alright this thing's fixed"!!
I respect that you keep that trusty ol Dodge running but I hope you treat yourself to a little newer truck soon my friend.
Maybe...he certainly deserves it, but Andrew doesn't seem like the "New" truck type of guy. Know what I mean.
Keyword....”*newer*”. Of course not brand new.
Holy smoke that drive way is huge one spot your really close to the cliff. That western plow just keeps on going! Thanks
@Andrew You have an "apartment" on the second level of your castle, right? What sort of heating do you use in the bedroom? Toilet? I wouldn't want to sit down on a below freezing toilet seat in the middle of the night........lol
there a video he shows his upstairs apartment and what he use for heating
Pretty sure he only heats two rooms; the utility and his bed/bath, both on propane. And propane accessories. :P
Andrew, I am a firm believer in the "acclamation process" to the cold. I spend countless hours in a tree stand hunting and let me tell you, when you cant move and your exposed to the wind day I n and day out you start to build up a tolerance to the cold. I will say as you get older a little heat is nice in a garage when your hands are exposed to metal tools but just a little is all you need. Spring is coming buddy and I cant wait to cut trees and get to work with excavating again. Good vid and stay safe.
You should spray your old used motor oil, on the under side of the truck to prevent more rust
I really don't like how that truck looks BUT you keep it running, and that is the sole purpose of a money making machine, so Mr. Camarata you are impressive!
Nice...2 vids in 1 day.....awesome....... :)
Only Andrew would fix his shift linkage with cable ties😭😂😂
