Neighbor WALKS UP on me YELLING while helping Disabled Man in Wheelchair

- For weeks, I've been working to clear an elderly man's property, but equipment failures kept slowing us down. After a snowstorm, we returned to finish the job, first helping the man shovel his way out of his back door.
While one neighbor loved the work and asked for help with their own yard, another was upset because the noise kept him awake. What happened next was heartbreaking but felt like fate; I believe we encountered the upset neighbor for a reason.

Let me know your thoughts on the unexpected turn of events with the neighbor. What would you do? This is such an amazing community, be sure to subscribe it’s the best way to help the channel
Can you get some cheap earplugs to keep in your pocket and hand them out to people who complain about the noise?
I totally get it, I came to watch you to help me through the day. A week ago Friday we lost our 14 yr old granddaughter she was the girl I never had, my world, it’s so hard to wrap my head around it Erik. My son’s gone back home , I’m trying to find someone to help him with his yard. I know God is in control , but the pain at the moment is almost unbearable . Keep us in your prayers please. As always I’ll continue to pray for you and your mission❤🙏🏼(Robbie)
Yea know I commented nasty at first..but Now that I saw the end..I would do the same thing if I could..I’m a widow from New Jersey…if I could help someone I would
I know how he feels . Last year at this time I started bringing my dad to doctors appointments and at the end of March he was diagnosed with stage 4 liver and pancreatic cancer. He passed away 11 days after finding out. It’s a hard place to be at. I understand where this guy is coming from… it will make a year April 8th he passed away. It seems still unreal to me 😢😢😢😢
@@justsayingno_pun4460 Prayers my friend, I can't even imagine.
I'm glad he came back to apologize. Shows his character. Like you said, you never know what another person is going through. I love your compassion for other people.
Good character would be to not act that way in the first place.
Amen!
@@dougr188 good character is to be able to apologize when you did something wrong.
Don't be a smartass. Saying don't act that way in the first place just means you have to be perfect. There is no room for redemption in people with your line of thinking. You stand on moral pedestals believing yourself to be righteous. No room to make amends.
In fact, saying good character is to not act that way in the first place tells me that I should never apologize when I do something wrong. Because there is no worth to it. I'll double down instead.
@@dougr188 Thank you!!💯
I would have told that guy if he had a problem, call the cops!
But look what you did. Great teachable moment. Thank you.
Thanks for the support, I'm glad I was able to de-escalate it
He was out of line, but he came back because he knew his behavior was wrong. He needed someone who could listen to him. Kudos to you men for keeping yourself in control and finding out what was really going wrong for this man. Opportunity is all around us to make a difference. Thank you.
We all should give people a chance
I think he knows he better apologize since his face was shown & attitude was extremey wrong....Wow😮
What a heart wrenching day this was. I hope he feels better now and realizes he is not alone. Thank you guys for being there it made a big difference just for him to talk it out.
It was a tough day for sure
@@OutdoorswithErik IF HE IS SO COMPASSIONATE WHY PUT THAT TITLE UP.
I’m going to pray for this man. He’s crying for help for compassion and release from his emotional pain 🫶🙏🏼🏴
He seems like a great guy
Erik you have a gift from God to help others. I see this in your videos. You took Mike and fed him a listen to him. He needed you. Prayers to all of you.
I'm just blessed to be there for people
This is why I watch and subscribe to your YT Channel, Mr. Erik - your compassion for other people. You are a very, very GOOD person. Can't wait to see the next episode of this story. God Bless you and your family AND the gentleman who is your helper.
I will pray for this Mike and his mom. He apologized and reached out. He was just at his breaking point.
Thanks my friend
Well, thanks for sticking with that guy and not just waving off his concerns when he came out in hostile mode at first. Talking things through probably helped and at least he knows you aren’t showing up with loud machines over and over for no reason.
Best way was to try to de-escalate
I'm glad that guy calmed down. It sounds like he just needed someone to talk to. And I believed it helped him a lot. God uses people in many ways. Thank you guys for listening to him.🙏🙏
Blessed to help and listen to him
He really just needed someone to talk too. Hopefully you can help him with all his dad's stuff. That would be a life changer
He was a super nice guy once we got to talk to him
Eric I gotta say you never know what someone might be going through that's what I love about your channel is you go out and help others who are in need I'm honestly hoping that gentlemen will let you transform his property as well helping out 3 neighbors at once is always a good feeling keep up all the hard work your doing
Just blessed to make a difference my friend
Thank ya'll so much for taking time out to listen to Mike and taking him to lunch. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you ❤️
He was a great guy
yep sometimes we just need someone to talk to. Glad you 2 were there for him
Blessed to be there for him
So glad you have that incident on tape, Erik. You certainly have had your share of wack-a-dos to deal with while doing something kind for their neighbor(s). Stay strong. Bless your gift of kindness.
@@donnayoung5133 it's a Michigan thing. Midlife stockman has the same whack a doos Lol
It's everywhere
He is blessed you were there...hopefully the neighbor regrets his Karen approach. 🐾🐾🐾
He apologizes on the video. He's a nice guy who has a lot of stress and heartache. I am glad the 3 men could have a meal together.
He does
I admire your grace under pressure-you really set a positive example.
You are so kind, it was a stressful situation but glad it de-escalated
Blessings to you for helping the elderly so they can get out their house.
Amen
You and Mark are angels Erik! The best thing this guy could use was prayer! If you happen across this man again tell him he is in my thoughts and prayers as well as your family and crew!
Amen, we are still talking to him
Erik you always have the BEST equipment! And I’m glad he realized how rude he was being glad he came back and apologized 💯
Appreciate your support my friend, he was having a bad day
So fantastic to see a dad modelling this behaviour .The world needs more Erik’s.
God does put you where you need to be. There is always people who are not happy with others helping others. God Bless them. You are a good man and God has used you for good and as a witness for him.
Appreciate you!
I've been at that breaking point and have much empathy for him. You made a huge difference for him and I hope he gets some relief from that deep pain soon.
You are a wonder. Your ability to figure things out, and fix situations amazes me. Bless you for your kindness to everyone.❤❤❤
It was scary situaton
I’m so glad You are helping People, My Husband and I are struggling right now I just wish We had People like You around that would help Us.
Wow, that man needed you, even though he was angry with the noise of your machines. I do believe God put you into this situation to help this man. I know how hard it is to lose a parent all of sudden. My dad had a major stroke while he was in the hospital and was in a coma until he died a few days later. He died the day after Father's Day back in 1991. My sincere condolences to this man and his family. 🙏 May his father rest in peace. I pray this man finds the help he needs. 🙏
Prayers my friend, that had to be so tough!
@OutdoorswithErik Thank you. I still miss him. He would have loved your videos. He worked really hard to always make our farm look the best it could be. And he loved helping the neighbors whenever he could.
We are all struggling these days, taking a deep breath and be the bigger person. You will never regret your choice. Thanks again Eric and Mark, you make a difference.
🙏🏻❤️👍🏻🦅💯💪🏻
Appreciate you!
To Mike, there gone be better days again...i promise....Love send from germany
Thank you Eric for looking after those in need 🙏fantastic
Nice work Erik and Mark. Im glad mike had a change of heart. ❤thanks for doung what you do. God Bless you and your family ❤
Thanks for the support
I like the fact you came back to get rid of those trees and helped out the man in the wheelchair. That was awful. Nice of you guys so have a great day and God bless.👼🏼🙏🏻🚜🏠😎
Appreciate you
Lord, have mercy!!! You seem to ALWAYS run into angry, obnoxious, ungrateful people EVER!!! I don't know how you keep going because I'd rather NOT risk running into these types of people all the time!! God bless you for doing what you do, putting up with what you do, and always looking for the good in people!!! You are a true inspiration!! 👏👏👏
That was divine intervention ❤
It was something
God bless you Erik. I am glad you guys stopped and got to the true heart of his issues. May he find some relief from all his worries. 🙏🏻
God works in mysterious ways 🙏. He needed someone to talk to. Who knows how far along in his grief he was. Eric, sometimes I feel our heavenly father puts you in these situations . Not only to show your children and wife what it means to be compassionate, upstanding, or non- judgemental, but also what real integrity of your character means to people. Your heart ❤️ shines through loud and clear. It's why I love watching. Tell Mark I see him too! You never have anything to be ashamed of your parent, and your family raised you right, and you're setting an example for yours.
It was nice that he came back and apologized and could share with you and you listened and there was no hard feelings. God does work in mysterious ways. GOD BLESS ❤
Amen, he has a way for sure
Definitely a labor of love. God will send you blessings
I swear you get the rudest people I’ve ever seen! Jerks! 😡😡😡😡 But I’m praying for him! Glad he apologized. 🙏🛐✝️💞
We run into a lot of nice people as well
Eric, like you said everyone goes through bad times. Ill be praying For Mike. That god heals him and restores his faith in him. Sometimes you just need someone that will listen and give advice. Miss seeing the boys and Jessica. Prayers for you all. God Bless.
Thanks for your support
As you've said, many of us have been at that breaking point, and all it takes is one kind soul to really listen, show empathy, and pray with you or for you and it can really turn things around. So glad you and your friend had that chance encounter with Mike even though it started out in a very unpleasant and negative way. I'm not overly religious, but I believe that God puts things in our sightline so we can help others and lift each other up. God bless you and your friend for helping out the property owners, but also for your kindness towards this man.
Blessed to help him
You have endless patience, I don't think I would have been quite so forgiving. That guy was out of order and his excuses did not wash. I hope he does not repeat this behaviour. I hope you get your equipment fixed Erik. I am sorry you have to put up with this sort of abuse. Stay safe. 😀
Yes God did bring you all together!!!! Mike needed you and no matter the circumstance that brought you together, it’s Gods timing!!!! Thank You for being there at the right time!!! Prayers for Mike 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 He’s a good Man I can tell. I’ve been at that breaking point several times in my 72 years and have said things and acted unchristian with much regret. We forgive ourselves and do better with HIS help!!!!
Amen
What a heart felt video….bless u all 🙏🏻
Holy smokes that's a lot to shovel. and I love those machines Eric!
Prayers for Mr Mike he has a lot on his shoulders. He did apologize. A lot of us know how it feels to lose your Dad and mom or a family member. It hurts. Thank you for helping out the property owners. They really needed the help. You guys are wonderful people. Thank you for all you do. 🥰🙏🙏
Bless you for taking time to really listen to the neighbor and hearing him out. 🥰🙏
That man is just unhappy in life and no matter what you do he is not going to be happy! Just keep doing what you're doing it's all good❤❤❤
Thanks for the support
Hi Erik. You got it there. You neer know what people are going through. I'm glad you got him to talk and find out, not everybody, would especially as he was getting rather aggressive. But you stuck it out. Perhaps someone who knows if there is someone he can talk to will send you a message. Maybe that can be their way of 'helping out'. We all need to stop rushing around and start listening again. Thanks for doing that! Then you can't solve everybody's problem!
Well you helped two people at once. God Bless You Eric 🙌👍❤❤❤❤
Hello Erik you are such a special man for sure great video and you heart was so important in this man's life at the right time
Appreciate you
Hello Erik and family God bless y'all...God puts people together at the right time and right place and he always puts a positive into a negative situation and turns out to be a beautiful spiritual uplifting.... Love brother Jimmy Wayne from Enterprise Alabama
Appreciate hearing from you my friend
Excellent work. God put you in the right place.
Thanks my friend
Great way to turn that situation around with him. Awesome job
Sending Mike healing at least he later came and apologised yes we dont know what others are going through and this man had reached his breaking point and venting helped him to realize he overstepped Very kind of you to listen and then take him to Maccas and chill I think his fogs barking was the main problem you machines he could have ignored somewhat but his dogs constant barking made it worse for him I hope he finds solace soon Bless you and Mark Eric xxxx
Sometimes people just are not nice. But people are struggling. Thank you for giving your time to this guy that is struggling 😊
I hope this shows people that there are still good people in this world.
Eric you are too nice. That man because of his situation hates the world. Hopefully, things will get better for him. He's all stressed out glad he came back to explain his worries.
No reason to be mean, world needs positivity
It’s a Dream wat You do , Thank’s for all your help for other people that they Need help ☮️💜✝️ God bless you all ✝️
Blessed to help!
It's amazing to me that someone who walks into your work area, starts to abuse your camera once discovered he's now being filmed and becomes livid. I know you were trying to appease all, but I would have called the police. The man doesn't own the entire neighborhood . I also heard him say he was disabled and had the luxury of sleeping whenever he desired. GEEZ!!!!!
Oh, okay...I finished the video and empathetic towards the man. He's got a lot on him. Been there, done that. He was just wanting someone to hear him.
He was a nice guy, just frustrated
May God continue to Bless you so you may be a blessing to others.
Appreciate you
You were there for a reason. Bless you.
You are simply a blessing.
I certainly try
The guy is stressed. I can understand his point. I hope you can give Mike a day it doesn’t suck! He probably doesn’t know how to handle his feelings or what to do. Good that you give him a good day!
He was a nice guy once we talked to him
Thank you so much Eric and your team for making it safer for that man and his family to be able to get out of their home.
Blessed to help him
Over time you've had to endure some nasty people, just say mind your own bloody business and carry on giving your caring way, love watching you with the transformations, sending ❤😊from 🇬🇧
Love hearing from you!
I Know how Mike feels one year ago after Thanksgiving my husband died that was 10 days after we found out he had stage 4 cancer . So yes your brain is in what in the world just happened. Bless you Erik for just listening .
Sorry for your sudden loss, Jackie. I hope you are doing better!
Mike needed friendship and support. I am glad he talked with Erik and Mark. All 3 men get an A+ on this video.
@carolg.6838 yes I am doing good . Thanks for asking 🙂
I’m so sorry for your loss.
God works in mysterious ways and people tend to forget about that . There's no doubt about it that guy in you guy's came together at the perfect time
AMen
You don’t know what people are going through. Eric you handled it perfectly. Your work is not only with helping people with their lawns, but helping people with their lives. Bravo.
I'm just trying to make a difference.
This one broke my heart. Thank you for listening to him. God used you there.
He is amazing, please share to help get the word out, everyone needs an ear
You have just the coolest frigging machines! Dang! As for the neighbors, i really feel for him. The last about 6 years have been a living hell for me...have not really gotten any help either, just trudging through. With his passion being music, I am not sure how you can help him...just lending an ear can be helpful. You are an influencer on here, so maybe you can share some ideas?
Thanks for your support my friend, it was interesting for sure
Je pravda že každý má svůj životní příběh a né každý je hned sdílný svoji bolest hned ventilovat ,tady se ukázalo jak je dobré jen naslouchat i když to hned nevypadalo moc dobře ten muž měl v sobě mnoho bolesti a nevěděl jak z toho ven a jak se ukázalo stačilo z Vaši strany tak málo aby se mu alespoň trochu ulevilo ,,,jste velice hodný,,,,
Great work Erik❤❤❤. Some times people need help but don't know how to ask , due to stress or situation beyound their control. Weather its an ear to bend ,so they can unload some of the weight they are carrying. Its nice that you helped the neibour by just listerning to him it can make a great deal of help❤. I have been absent of late in the comments as I recently had a back up scan for lung cancer I am pleased to say the scan was clear , it has'nt come back🎉🎉. Keep up the good work Erik❤❤❤❤❤
You were meant to be there for Mike. He needed someone to vent to and relief some of the pressure that was building up💜🙏💜 You guys bless people one way or another💜🙏💜
Blessed to be there to listen, feel for the guy
I understand Mikes side! I lost my daughter in almost the same manner and time limit, IT's good you were there for him to vent with and you at least tried to understand him! GOD BLESS YOU ALL THREE!!!
PPrayers my friend
Thank God you showed up Eric and he had the patience to listen to him! I pray, God heals his heart and as his will and guide him to what his purposes is in this life Jesus name, I pray
Keeping Mike in my prayers. It is never easy when life comes tumbling down on you. Thank You, Erik for being so understanding, God Bless You All. ❤🙏
Erik, You should have told Grumpy to go take a hike, If he's that tired he should be able to sleep, To be honest, I'd say there's more Noise coming from the traffic on the road in the background, Apart from Grumpy, That's another fine job you've done, keep it up, ❤️🏴❤️, As you say, Nobody knows what's going on in people's lives, As we say here in Scotland, it's good to talk, Hopefully the guy is getting the help he needs
Appreciate your support
Seeing your Kubota tractor takes me back to 2012 when my husband's ex boss bought one for 29,000 without letting his wife know. She hit the ceiling. He was constantly buying things off of those infomercial ads on late night TV. The yard looks fantastic!
Thanks for the support
God bless everyone there
Erik, you are so kind and generous, I think you wee good for Mike. He calmed down for you and got back to his true self!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It just goes to show, the way you handled him, not getting mad and yelling at him or being rude, goes a long way. More kindness and less anger is always the better road to take. Keep being you and never stray from the path God has put you on. Hugs and prayers for you, your family and those you help. ❤🙏🙂
A campaign that was splashed all over media was "Are you ok". Sometimes we are so wrapped up in our own problems that we forget other people have problems too. You showed that this campaign is important and gave this gentleman an opportunity to vent, that was what he needed the most, someone willing to listen and show compassion and understanding. Thank you both.
Bless you for sacrificing your equipment for people to help them, I don't doubt that you make enough money from these videos to pay for y'all's time and all but, those machines and their maintenance isn't cheap. GOD Bless you for helping out whatever you can for these people you're fortunate to help.
I have a second job to help pay for this stuff, I just enjoy helping others
Eric, you are so kind.
❤️
There are people everyday that sleeps because they work night shift. I’d tell him he is wrong,not his property and if not mistake the noise ordinance goes into effect in most cities at 2am. He needs to go back home
Only Friday and Saturday most ordinances are 10/11pm to 7am school nights to be quiet..
7am to 6/7pm is the ordinances for construction type noises which this would fall under
The road noise was louder than the tractors. Hope life gets better for him. I know how he feels when you're at that breaking point. Sometimes we just need help and someone to listen and understand.
The heavy machinery is incredible 👍
The world could use a lot more people like you Erik. You have such a compassionate soul, it was good of you to give Mike a chance to let his guard down and let go of the stress he was holding onto. Sometimes McDonalds is okay, but not too often.... 🤣🤣
My stomach hurt afterwards LOL:)
You are a great blessing to all you help
Thanks for the support
Bad days happen to everyone. Taking responsibility for bad behavior says something. Also my husband used to say if it runs it breaks. Have the problems with farm equipment also usually in the middle of planting season or harvest. Thank you for your service to the community.
Amen to this, something always breaking
God bless you all 🙏 ❤️
The Bogoda Beast Master!!! Good job, Erik!!! 🚜👍
LOL it's amazing
Oh my God Eric you have the coolest machines❤❤❤ I think this one is my favorite
BLessed, what attachment did you like the best
You always do a great job
I truly believe he set you 3 on a collision course and you and Mark stepped up to the plate by helping Mike. I pray for all of you, been where he was at, and it can become a very dark hole, like Mike. I had a meltdown and very good friends put me back on track with love and support they hadn't realised I needed because I hid it so well. I have now learned to ask for help.
You can't please everyone. But God puts you where he needs you. Obviously, this man needs you and God help.
Amen!!
People have their ways..he wanted to say something. You kept the canal open Eric 👍
Appreciate you
I don't understand why people have to be so hard on you. I'm sorry he has so many problems. I'm glad you guys worked it out. Keep doing what you're doing Erik.
We will never stop! Appreciate your support
Love the beast. Works snow or not.
Amen!
Hey, you are awesome. When it is not frozen, he needs his gutters cleaned. They truly need your help. Bless you and bless them.
Sending prayers for Mike
