You guys have really got this base camp thing down to a science now. I'm sure there is always room for improvement. The way the various teams work together is really impressive and I'm sure the clients are appreciative of the speed you deliver the repairs.😊 Great video too.
I love your videos, great job by your teams. I'm a foodie and cook, awesome outdoor kitchen setup for Stan. I also work in IT so I know the pressures when communication is down.
I enjoy logistics and the challenges they pose. Always enjoy watching behind the scenes. If i was 20 years younger i would have loved to work for such an outfit. Brings back some of the finer memories I have back in my Army Days of setting up TOC's.
Looking at the lighting inside your various tents at base camp. Looks like you are using construction type flood lights. Which are great, but they are hot, melt holes in the tents if they get too close, and the lighting is uneven. Plus bulky to store, and the setup and teardown in time consuming. Something I've used at musical festivals is LED tape lights. They are available in various voltages, AC or DC powered, different colors and color temperatures. The ones I use are 120 volt AC powered, warm white, and up to 50 meters long. They pack down small, no bulbs to break or burn out, and are way faster to setup and tear down. Get the ones you can cut every 16 inches or so, so you can customize lengths, the spools usually come with two or three sets of power adapters, so you can create multiple from a single spool. The light is nearly shadow free, even, and doesn't glare. These are pretty durable, but over time segments will burn out or get crushed, but they are only a couple feet of darkness then the next segment works. Depending on the tent, you can attach them to frames with loose zip ties, then just pull the led string out leaving the zip ties there for the next time, greatly speeding setup the next time. It's easy to make the tents as bright or dim as you like, just add more feet of led string. These also can be attached to fencelines, to provide outdoor lighting to open areas. For flooded out equipment huts, these can be brought in and taped or zip tied to whatever to provide temporary light for the initial cleanout and repair of the wiring, not adding as much heat and way nicer than working with flashlights. Also very handy are the short ones that run from a USB power pack. I keep one in my tool box and taping it inside cabinets that I'm doing lots of fiddly work is far superior to working in a dark box with a flashlight.

Hahaha You're talking to them about efficiency when they have a convoy of diesel generators, luxury motor coaches and walk in coolers for their steaks and mountain dew so they can get all those multi-million dollar encrypted digital trunking systems back online
So 99.99% of your problems revolve around outdated energy generation. Everything energy-related in this video was being done in the 1970s. I'm curious If that's only because that's the way you've always done it or you're not aware of a better alternitive.
I have been loving these videos. I think it would also be cool to have some longer videos out, too, but that's just me. Thank you for all that you do!

thank you for all of the Hard work that you do for them
Hell of a job boys , thank u and keep up the good work and stay safe 🙏❤️
Thank each and every one of you for your hard work from Sarasota and all of Florida!!
Great content showing the behind the scene operations. All that is needed now is your own chopper to complete your setup.

Same here. These guys are dialed!
Great information. Nice to see a different aspect of disaster recovery management. You don’t know until someone brings it to light.
Thank You….❤
went down this rabbit hole and now have seen almost all of them. As a FEMA MERS guy this is great content. Originally from NGA so proud in many ways.
Thanks for making
Great video! Ive been waiting for one like this!
Looks like a goshdang ham fest. Right down to those caps.

Great video
Always impressive
Can you guys do a quick vid of the HD Chevy trucks with the ARE caps and military type antennas?
When do we get a video of the motor coach tour?
So yall are emergency support for the tower crews?
It's best not to ask too many questions, bro. You don't want to know.
