Using a Helicopter to move a Drill Rig
In this video you'll see how a drill is moved from one spot to another in the pursuit of seeking out precious metals Northern Canada. This is real life, and unfiltered, trying to keep as much original footage as possible to show what its's like to work in remote North, this time with Spanish speaking Drillers.
I want to add that this is the first time these drillers have worked with a Heli-drill project, as they don't generally have the luxury of using a helicopter where they are from.
Last year i did another video on moving drills but with French-Canadian drillers, you can watch that here th-cam.com/video/Wb1C6P89bGY/w-d-xo.html

How Helicopters and Drones Work Together
มุมมอง 7K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I am working alongside fellow Australian and long time Yukon resident, Vanessa. Vanessa owns and operates a drone company based out of Whitehorse, YT, called DRONE NORTH, and for the next week we will be working together in the remote wilderness of the Mackenzie Mountains of NWT with a shared goal. Vanessas drones collect Images and LiDAR information which are meshed together onc...
I Suck at Flying the Astar
มุมมอง 75K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The A350, or commonly known as the Squirrel (Astar in North American markets) is one of the worlds most popular helicopters with over 7000 helicopters being built with several different variants. Today I am flying the AS350 SD2 which is an aftermarket conversion fitted by Soloy, and is powered by a Lycoming LTS101-700D-2 engine, rather than the turbomecca engine found in the stock standard B2. ...
Learning how to use a Heli-Torch
มุมมอง 132K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Come with me as I learn how to use a drip torch first the first time, slung beneath a Bell 407 to create a backburn on an active fire while the winds were favourable. Backburning is a fire suppression technique used in the control of wildfires. A backburn is a fire lit close to the edge of an active wildfire, which burns out the fuel between the wildfire and an established control line. The rem...

How to move a Diamond Drill with a Helicopter
Recently went for a check flight in a 206L, after having flown the AW139 for the last ten years. I can relate!
Curious, how much does a Bambi bucket of that size weigh?
Full, it’ll hold around 900L (240 US gallon) of water
Been flying for 20 years, but almost all in the offshore and HEMS side lol. No clue how you guys do that stuff with the line. It’s voodoo.
You gotta admit the helicopter was and is one of mankinds amazing inventions, totally a game changer for traveling through the air.
watch being light on fuel and you being light . if your close to the ground, dont back up or the tail can touch the ground and if any shrubs etc are sticking up , you can catch the tail rotor, and there is a guy in Miami that can load new maps in those old Garmins. (ebay), watch landing a line at the back, it can lay over a bush and now the tail can (ask me how I know) can pick the line up.
what an incredible job
Nice work! Just wondering what length line your run for the drill moves in this flat country?
100ft is the standard, only go longer if I need to for trees/mountains n stuff
that feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow
You think thats sensitive? Ever flown a r22? Hahaha
Yeah bro, I learnt in one 10 years ago
@@bushpiloting we've all been there 🫡
Hi, i am interested to become a bush pilot. Do you have any advice? Do you have a specific way to get into it, you would recommend?
Get your helicopter license in Canada. bush flying is all they do.
@ Do you how to do it private or are there programs/ companies which pay you and then have to work for them for 10 years.
@@j.d.g6073 negative. you start at the bottom with a company that does the work. then you work your way to the top
Good skill using the longline. . . hey ground guys all around the world, wear a hi vis shirt!
Heck yeah! That’s a great find!
i love this channel (:
Happy birthday lucas
Hello, do you have an FAA commercial license? If so, how useful is it across the globe? I can't decide between the EASA and FAA route 👍
Hey buddy. No I don’t, I only have Canadian and Australian
As a pilot and former well driller, this video had me riveted!
glad you liked it!
It remains a mistery what Gabriel and MC have been up to in those 20 minutes.
😂😂😂
The external gopro view was great, glad it lasted for so long!
I worked on an oil rig 50 years ago in borneo. The entire operation was dependant on choppers, from moving the rig and camp and bringing in all the consumables.
Hey Darc' loved that one. It shows me you have the same frustrations as me with radio comms. good to see you kept level headed. ❤❤
Howdy Darcy
Haha hey mate!
are these drilling teams from spain or mexico?
I believe they were each from a different country down south, mecxico, Guatemala, and Columbia I believe
bloody good video mate!
Another good one mate.
Sick!
How long was this flight? :o
about 2 hours, thats as much as i can get in a fuel cycle in the 407
@ Nice ! I fly ASTAR in Chile, but I am looking forward to get an abroad commercial license, where do you fly?
@@geraldsepulvedajorquera6144 mostly in Canada, sometimes Australia, and wherever the wind takes me XD
Solid job there with the sling loads. Also commenting for the algorithm.
Youve got so much patience there mate!!
i think they were being patient with me hahah
So good, such a great view! Keep 'em coming 🤙🏼
I’m a diamond driller and I love watching what it’s like on the other side of the longline. Great video as always 🤙🏻
thanks man! I appreciate your support!
As usual sick flying! however, crap rigging. 😁👍
Could you put a camera where you are looking out of that bubble please? It would be great to see your perspective
Ya okay, good idea!
I had some poor English speakers once. I bought some nice tequila for them and it seemed to improve their English oddly enough lol
Geez those fellas need some training in rigging loads…
yeah I know, i just want to add that this is the first time these drillers have worked with a Heli-drill project, as they don't generally have the luxury of using a helicopter where they are from
@@bushpiloting where are they from? i cant tell if its a spanish or mexican dialect
@@staymad7206 mexico, ecuador and Guatamala!
I am not a rigger, but I do play one at hilltop repeater sites and I was aghast at the rigging and conduct of these drillers. How many times did they stand under the load "in the bite". Massive props to whomever did the translations. That was hilarious.
yeah i get it, but it is their first time working on a heli drill project, so gotta cut them slack for that, and the language barrier. They did alright
@@bushpiloting Fair I guess, but don't cut them too much slack. I'm lead rigger for a heli company on a mine north of Terrace; we had a drill crew new to heli work last year, and they lost their rod rack mid flight cause they thought it would be a dandy idea to attach a drag to the single ratchet strap holding the rack to the rods. luckily it landed in the bush a few hundred metres outside of camp, but the storm that caused I never want to experience again. If it doesn't look right, I always get them to set it down, and make damn sure its good to fly. Just my 2 cents Love the videos, keep up the stellar work!
yea, theres also a point where one of them is telling the helo to lift up, but the other guy isnt even done connecting and then he gives the signal lol.
Where is this exactly? Google earth link? Thanks for posting, love it.
This is in the Mackenzie mountains, NWT, Canada. i cant give you the exact location but it is about just north of Nahanni national park.
I can't aford a pilot license being a poor guy in Brazil, but I can always watch those videos, nice work
The precise flying needed for this is wild!! Keep these videos coming. Love it.
another banga!
You’re pretty tidy with the line, brother! Kudos. Also, comment for the algorithm.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing all communications between you guys! So much precision! So much attention to not get hurt anybody! Wonderful fottage in all angles!
Thanks for taking us along
love this stuFf!
Nice Flying 😎 Not so nice rigging haha.. I drive a crane sometimes and it’s beyond my comprehension how some lads cannot visualise how a load is going to lift with how they rig it! Especially when they have done it hundreds of times!
Another great video... what I like so much about this one is that it shows just how important communication is between ground and aircrew... if either of you needs something improved or enhanced, ASK!!!! well done on both your parts.... on another note, your sling skills look very polished on the 407.. getting any more comfortable with the SD2??? 😎👍
Hahahah nah I’ve haven’t flown the SD2 in a while now, back in the 407 where I belong!
Nice work buddy, you still up there?
Just got back from working up there!
@@bushpiloting from that particular camp or just another tour?
@@matsworld9386 na just from working up there in general, i was doing some water stuff last week but this content is from summer
Nice
I love the glass dome also how are your videos so high quality?
i just try to do everying in 4k when i can what do you mean by glass dome?
@@bushpiloting idk the name of it, the thing that lets you look down in your helicopter thats like a glass dome thing, they just look really cool lol.
I like your humility out there. Will keep you alive. Keep the videos coming!
