- Day two started just like any other day, until I tracked a little too far off into the swamp land. A bad situation could have been a disaster…

Thanks for showing those finished walls! Looks good!… good video brother thnx!
Thanks I appreciate that! The walls turned out pretty good…
Amazing C&C Christian and Construction Amen brother!!
Hey Rob, I like that! C&C, Christian and Construction has a nice ring to it…🤣
God Bless,
Sam
I saw the tree in the background smoking and was wondering if the neighbor was burning lol. Good job with the excavator....and cleaning it up. That is worse than being stuck. Great message.
You should have hollered! 😀
I really enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing them
Thanks Larry! 😀
That was a great message Sam! I'm running behind on watching videos. Sam Cats don't like playing in swamps but I think you know that now.😂 It's a good thing you had one track on solid ground and you were able to pull yourself out. Be Safe Out There and GOD BLESS!
Thanks Jim and glad you enjoyed the message. Cats definitely don’t like the swamp.
God Bless
Hey Sam how’s it going looks like you all been getting your share of the rain down there.
I like the way you keep your equipment clean, I know they get dirty and nasty just the way it is, but it not that hard to clean one up once in awhile.
Great message Sam we all need to hear the word of God thanks for adding it to your video 👍🏻
Thank you Tom, I appreciate that! I do like a machine clean. I could definitely do a better job at it. We are getting rain by the buckets full…
God Bless…
Interesting message, there’s something to being around positive people. At work there are some who are negative and complain, and nothing will make you more miserable for the rest of the day than listening to people complaining.
Hey Paul that is exactly right! The old saying goes misery loves company. But we can be the difference by being positive and encouraging…
Thanks…
Awesome Job & Message!!
Thanks Greg! 😀
Both jobs look great!!
I got swamped up to the undercarriage not long ago. Leaves you with an empty pit in the stomach but calm minds will prevail.
I am honored and truly blessed to have you give that uplifting message wearing the 513 shirt! 🙏🏻
Hey Dave, I thought you might like that shirt! Right, it’s a kick in the gut when you get stuck not knowing if you can get out.
Thanks…
Good job catching that rogue fire- you would have come back the next day to a burned off slough.
It was also nice they were able to work out the burn permit for you-
Yup, that dead standing tree would have been a mess. It has happened before and started a rogue fire. So I definitely look for those now. Burn permit worked out good too…
That slope is tricky...must be an underground spring there. God bless you brother 🙏
Jim I believe you are right. There was a couple areas like that. Water would puddle up on top of the ground after you dig in it.
Thanks,
Sam
Looking good and great message
Thank you Scott!😀
Great Job! Getting yourself out of that mud was awesome. Thanks for the message. I forget the power of the tongue. Lord help me to hold my piece when it's not uplifting.
Thanks Roxy and glad I was able to get out too. I need to hold my tongue a bit too…😀
Great video Sam. Glad you got that cat out of there. Remember my wife when you pray. We go to the oncologist Wednesday morning to see about a 9 centimeter mass they found on one of her ovaries. Please help me pray for a good outcome. Thanks for the video and boy do we need encouragement in today’s time that we live in.
Hey Butch I will sure be praying about that. God Bless yall and hope the outcome is good…
Dont feel bad Sam, around here people light fires year round it seems, even during no burn season.😋
Yup, that smoke will draw some attention for sure…😳
I believe that if you take good care of good equipment it will take good care of you
Jim I’m with you on that!
Thank you for the inspiration and to and reading the Bible American people we need that more than anything
Thanks Brian, I appreciate that!😀
This job is coming along nicely! Cant wait to see it finished... I really enjoyed the live with digginlife21 you guys did the other day... I hope u guys do it again soon! Thanks for the message, its always an encouragement👍🙏
Hey thanks I appreciate that! We had a good time doing the live feed with y’all, answering questions and chatting. Hope to do that again soon. Glad you are enjoying the message and I appreciate the feedback on it…
God Bless,
Sam
@@tristardiggin 👍
Thank you for the respect you show to yourself, others, and property. You are a good steward of the earth. Like the swamp cat, sometimes, we find ourselves mired, not just in mud, but in self-doubt. Maybe, we feel unworthy, believing that our mistakes or failures disqualify us from God's love and grace. To those who have given up, I say there is still hope to be found in Jesus. God's love is not based on our performances or worthiness. It is a gift freely given. Nothing can separate us from God's love. Love never fails. -Mike&Pat
Mike&Pat, that was well said and exactly right! God’s love isn’t based on our performance or worthiness, justly simply his Grace! And I agree with you, there is still hope to be found in Jesus, amen!
God Bless,
Sam
You do some Awesome work Sammy 👍👍 I'm so glad you got your 313 out I don't have a name for it 😂 T-Rex
Thanks Jon I’m glad I got the ole T-Rex 🦖 out of the swamp!
Awesome video; really enjoyed, job well done! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks I appreciate that! The next one from this job site is a doozy! I will just say I didn’t learn my lesson in the swamp! 😳🫣
@@tristardiggin I’m sure it’s spectacular. I appreciate your honesty,transparency even the hardships. I believe those qualities God blesses. Most would edit. God bless you and keep them coming!!
Another great video Sam thank you love to be able to watch my construction and machine videos but I also get a bit of scripture🙏 God bless
Thank you Kevin and I appreciate that. Glad you are enjoying the message too.
God Bless
Great video as always Sam. Gotta keep it interesting getting into some sketchy situations. Came out of it in the end though.
Sketchy is a good way to describe the stuff that goes on around here!
🫣🤣
Thanks
Good video and a great testimony.
Thank you Cricket! 😀
Great job
Thank you! 😀
It's incredible that snag caught fire like that. Good catch!
Hey Zach that thing sure caught on fire. I had a rogue fire start off in the edge of clearing job just like that, once before. Weird feeling seeing a rogue fire off in the distance.
Thanks
Something happened to your burn permit comment. I can’t open it for some reason…
@tristardiggin Haha that's gotta be quite an interesting experience.
The other comment was just about how our burn bans are weird here in Ohio. Just in spring and fall months during daylight hours. I assume it's dure ti the chance of grass fires, but it still seems odd.
Land is sometimes a trap !
The main thing is not to be hurt and that there are not too many degradations on the machine.
Exactly, minimize the damage to machines and don’t get hurt!
Thanks
Good video, I have done a lot of clearing and burning with just a track loader. The excavator makes it a lot easier and more efficient for sure. That job would have been nearly impossible to do with just a loader unless it was during a dry spell. Back when I was doing a lot I had a home built burning machine that had a Cummins 6bt on it, I would blow through a piece of 24” ductile pipe. I would start it small just like you did and once I got a good pile of coals I could roll a BIG pile on it and run the blower just a little above idle and usually only get a lot of smoke for 5-10 minutes and then it would catch up with little smoke. I also like jobs that I can pile stuff to the side and let it dry for a while and it really does away with the smoke.
Charles that is a great idea to setup that blower like that. I’m sure it would burn it all up. I sure like clearing with the excavator it makes it a bit easier, like you said, to pile and burn…
Thanks…
Good video Sam! You passed me on a tractor Wednesday on Bowater Rd the big Mack sounded good as you left me in the dust lol!!!! Appreciate the message as well.....
Funny, I remember you on that tractor. Rolling the Mack right on by!😀😂.
Glad you enjoyed the message…
Thanks
Thank you for a wonderful massage,
Thanks Roland glad you enjoyed it!
God Bless
Been waiting on a video for awhile. Im glad you got one out. Keep it up
Thank you Douglas. It’s cool to know folks are enjoying the videos…😀
Glad you were able to get your self out of the swamp. That could have been messy. Thanks for sharing Sam.
Thanks Tony, it could have been bad for sure! 😳
It surely look like it could have. You’re welcome
Good word brother
Thank you Jason!
Great video Sam great fire watch great burn and great words thanks
Thank you Gary! 😀
Great video Sam!
Thank you I appreciate that!😀
Amen brother. Great job, cant wait until the next one. One good thing about that metal track, it won't roll off in the mud like those rubber tracks can. I had my rubber tracked buried, ended up with a track roll off in the mud. What a day for sure, but was blessed to have a buddy bring his dozer and pull me out.
Hey Brandon that definitely sounds like a bad day. Stuck and track slipped is double trouble 😳.
Thanks
Thanks for the video Sam well done, great job and great save in the muck 👍❤️❤️. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️❤️.
Thanks Michael, I was worried about that one for a bit. Glad I got out…
Job well done Sam , and thanks for the videos as always and good job of getting the machine out my friend ! ♥️🍺😎
Thanks! That was a little sketchy for a few minutes and glad I got it out. But, I didn’t learn my lesson. Next video is a doozy with the skid steer…🫣😳
Thanks for the video Sam, see ya on the next one
Thank you Joe and I appreciate you watching and commenting!😀
Great video Sam. Now for the fun part of cleaning that under carriage.
Thanks Ron and the cleanup wasn’t fun at all…🥵
I’m jealous. They made it illegal to burn land clearing materials here . I found out the hard way years ago 😂. That’s why I have that big chipper now. I don’t know how you caught that tree smoking .Good eye ! I’ve been trying to encourage the other guys around me up here lately even though they don’t do the same for me. I’ll just keep at it for now .
Oh man, y’all can’t burn! That’s a bummer for sure. Those dead standing trees will sure catch on fire in a minute. That’s right Steve, just keep on being an encouragement. I will just encourage you from way down here in the south. 😀 Todd and I was talking about your last video and it was definitely a good one…
Thanks and God Bless,
Sam
@@tristardiggin thanks for watching it Sam .Really appreciate it !
Thank you for the message Sam. MBTS Rules!!!!!
Thank you Nick and glad you enjoyed it! And I agree MBTS rules…😀
Good recovery. Great message, my big mouth gets me in trouble a lot !
Thanks and glad it worked out that way! My big mouth gets me in a mess at times as well! 🫣
Awesome video!! Glad you were able to climb out of that mess!
Me too! If that left track had been in the mud it would have been a different story…
Thanks
Nice mudCat, I'm glad you got out of there. You are doing a good job with the cleaning project.
Thanks Charles, I was sweating it for a bit there. Glad the mud cat crawled out of there…
Amen Sam Thank you, very exciting video🌺🍍🏝️✝️🇺🇸🤙🏽❤️
Thank you Margaret, glad you enjoyed it…😀
Great video and a great job Sam.Also I enjoyed the message, keep em coming Sir!!?
Thank you Kevin and glad you enjoyed it…
Great video and awesome message Sam. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, and I appreciate the comment…
I could see the smoke from my front porch in Southern Indiana
John that’s about right! That baby was a smoking for sure! 🤪😀
Thank you for sharing God Bless
Thank you William and God Bless…
Nice that was a close one. 😅
To close for comfort! But the next one is a different story. Buried up big time! 🫣
@@tristardiggin oh no.
you got that cat lookin clean!!
Wow! What a mess it was to clean it! 🤬
Needs a Clean up with a Riddle bucket
Yeah that would work good for cleanup…
Dang that was one smoky fire
Right Jacob! There was smoke visible for miles.
Thanks…
@@tristardiggin lol i bet
Government never misses an opportunity to tax people.
Whew, that is right! 😳
I got worried about that blower for a second!
Been some close calls with the blower for sure! I actually forgot about it for a little bit…🤣
My dad still tells me you get a fire hot enough it will burn just about anything you put on it… I have found that he ain’t wrong!!
Hey Jon, he definitely isn’t wrong! A good hot fire fed in the right way will get a place cleaned up!
Thanks
👍👍from Friesland (nl)
That’s pretty cool that you are watching from Friesland! Thanks for watching and commenting!😀
Cant beat a Cut off at 1/3rd Diesel Drum with 5- 10 gall of diesel for a Base nucleus to make the first Heat and Fire Bottom
Sounds like a good idea!👍 Thanks
I was doing what you were doing with the blower letting it blow on the fire and I melted the end of the nozzle and it was 30 feet away
Wow! Now that was a hot fire. 🔥
I actually forgot about it at one point. Glad I didn’t melt it…
Next thing you know you'll have to get a permit to breathe 😱
😀 yup, that’s probably coming next! A breathing tax…🤣
I never thought until today that I need to build a metal tube for the blower tube to put near the fire incase I forget
Hey Rodney that is a great idea! I’ve heard of that but just haven’t tried it yet…
Thanks
@tristardiggin Yeah I need to take the
End of tube to hardware store and find metal end to fit
Howdy Sam
Howdy Tugboat…👍
1/2 stuck better than full stuck
Rick that is exactly right! I was half stuck in this one but I didn’t learn my lesson. I’m fully stuck in the next one…🫣
🔥🔥🔥Wooooo!!!!
😀
I called Chris and. Put him on standby
Thanks Randy! I’ve seen Chris rescue a few stuck machines. Glad I got it out. Standby is definitely a good thing…
Sam I love how you understand the Bible and break down the meaning of what it's saying. Did you go to Christian School or a Bible college. Like to also ask are you a minister. God bless you and keep up good work
Thank you Doug, I appreciate that! I haven’t had any formal training or a minister. I’ve been teaching the Bible on Sunday mornings for a few years.
God Bless…
Yeah man that was a scary moment but you made the best of it .. listening to the words you are speaking from the Bible I do need to quit using the bad language trying to do better thanks Sam
Hey James, that one worked out pretty good but the next one, not so good! 😳
We can all do a better job at what we say, for sure! 👍
I'm pretty sure you're just an arsonist at this point. You had waaay too much fun with that. STOP IT! LetsDig18 does not approve. kek
Bon fires require beer and munchies and I didn't see any. kek
Good vid. Keep 'em comin'. ty
Hey thanks I appreciate that! I think you are right. I may just be a bit of a fire bug, I enjoy the brushfires for sure…
Sam
Thanks for the good message ,easy to get stuck in a bad position with a few harsh words, very good video , you looked like letsdig18 getting out with ease, thanks again for the time you put in messages and videos
Thanks Brian! Lord knows I’ve opened my big mouth a few times. Was thankful to get that digger out of the swamp…
DANG !!! -- That bucket just disappeared !! ... I know you are a righteous and giving soul, but that was way too close to making a house payment for a wrecker operator.....
Yeah, no doubt! That was a close call. But I didn’t learn my lesson, just wait until the next video…😳
@@tristardiggin I can't wait ... !! -- Stay blessed my man.
