Trash and Trail
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 ม.ค. 2018
Mac's life in Fall Creek, Oregon and my adventures cleaning up trash with Friends of Fall Creek Watershed in the Willamette National Forest and beyond, volunteering with the Scorpions Trail Crew, Cascade Volunteers and the Pacific Crest Trail Association cutting out downed trees, repairing tread and trail maintenance with chainsaws, crosscut saws, axes, Pulaskis and more tools. And of course, enjoying the wilderness with epic trips in our Jeep Wranglers with my wife, Jessica and our dogs Willow and Lady across Oregon and throughout the Pacific Northwest, hiking trails, paddle boarding and kayaking and living life to the fullest with every adventure and challenge we can find. #volunteer #trailmaintenance #trashpickup #jeepwrangler #jeepwranglertj #jeepwranglerjk #4x4 #hikeoregon #snowwheeling #chainsaw #outdoors #pnw
Plasma Cutter - Building a Cart From Scrapped RV Steel
Mac used some of the tow money from the BLM and Forest Service to purchase a plasma cutter...and needed a cart to wheel it around the shop. And what better way to build the cart than use the new tool to cut the steel. And most of the parts for the cart have come from steel we've harvested from dismantling RVs. The only parts we need are some casters, washers and self tapping screws. Join us as we bodge together a rolling cart and improve our fabrication skills, and run the welder out of shield gas. Oh and did I mention I've never used a plasma cutter before?

Angler Dangler - Scout, Test, Haul and Dump - Hobo Campground, Umpqua National Forest

Friends of Fall Creek Watershed is over in the Umpqua National Forest, and we found an illegally dumped pickup camper abandoned in the Hobo Campground up Brice Creek Road. A rather pointed note tells some of the story of this mess. We return a few days later to do an asbestos test, but the Lane One fire has flared up and closed the area...complicating our plans. We've been asked to drive in ove...

Buddy I'm going to say this as nice as possible, some of your welds are seriously lacking! Major undercut ! You need more practice on just scrap steel before you start building stuff that you want to depend on. Just saying.
@@williammurray9651 That and no gas!
unprepared ,and you had already looked at it! i can also see. you guy's have no idea what your doing! Darwin award incoming!
@@TheWickedFast1 We can muddle through just about anything and thankfully no major injuries!
Keep up the good work guys!!! I'm out with a knee replacement. Wish I could use the time off to help you..
Holy crap, blue jeep!!!
@@lorrieidenschink7816 Some of those folks can really crawl!
Hey there！We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some car related items. Do you accept sponsored products?
Yay for new bumper!!
@@lorrieidenschink7816 Exactly!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! (Little more heavy handed with that automatic rachet than I would be.) Great seeing a family working together to get on the trail!
@@ToddGrinolds I hear you on the rachet! I checked with my torque wrench and it doesn't exceed 30 ft lbs. Very good point! My wrists are shot so any twisting tool is a go to for me!
@@trashandtrail I plan to get the rack and tent like that for my TJ. This video really helped with that decision!
@@ToddGrinolds We really like the tent! I think you'll be happy with your purchase! We're thinking about adding an awning to the side for a dining/relaxing area. Thanks for watching!
@@trashandtrail Are the holes in the crossbars pre-drilled for attaching the tent to the rack?
@@ToddGrinolds The rail accepts aluminum keys that slot into the rail and allow for more or less infinite adjustments. But the tent comes with four keys/bolts/nuts. We ordered two additional keys and I cut up some pipe spacers so we could add additional mounting points. We do some light rock crawling and I want that tent bolted down hard. Let me know if you want me to make a quick short explaining that.
Great job! 👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸

Great teamwork!

Nice video. The universe didn't want your friend Chris on that trail.
@@TrailsnThings818 Perhaps....the other Chris should have made a video! Thanks for watching! Vol 2 drops Wednesday!
That's where a lightweight peavey might come in handy rolling them heavier logs. Nice work.
@@larrykoroush6995 We've got a machine shop that's made a few of us lightweight aluminum bars. But yeah...I need a mule and a peavy. Actually own one... it's not terribly heavy...
You guys are doing the things I love doing. Trail clearing and cleaning up the garbage people dump in the forests. If my lungs weren't shot, I'd volunteer. I sent a check to help out a little with costs.
@@larrykoroush6995 Sure wish you could help! At least we can bring you along for the adventure!
Glad to see you on the trail again, thanks for taking us along. You might be out of shape but considering the 'load' you were carrying that might have something to do with it. Enjoyed the count of the down trees on the way out... might as well have fun with it. As a sawyer volunteer in Fla, thank you and the crew for what y'all do for the trails.
@@workshop4128 Awesome... cutting out trails in Florida must be interesting! Make some videos! Maybe one day I'll make it out your way and we can document some of your excellent work!
You guys anywhere near Wranglerstar?

God job you guys! I live a couple hrs north of you and it nice to see people going the extra mile to hopefully get our beautiful state clean again. Keep it up!!
@@Thehelpfulcontractor Awesome thanks!
just wanted to say thanks...it's just sad how people are, not all people though....like you folks, some folks just throw there trash in the forest, other folks have the heart to get it out.
@@fredfight Thanks for watching and thanks for being the better half of the equation. I think it's 1 or 2 percent of people who are screwing things up for everyone.
Thanks for all your great work!
@@ScottDLR Thanks for watching!
You guys rock ! Glad no one was hurt too ! That could have been deadly ! It's a shame the county can't even lift a finger to help you ! Just a rollback would have been a blessing ! God Bless you both !!!

Good video guys I enjoy watching you but I got a question to ask you where is that at cuz those trees have been burnt and I haven't heard of any forest fires around what location or what state is that bro

Is this gonna be a one way trail and can I help at all at fixing trail or building trail
@@TheKasper14824 No idea. Haven't heard much back from the BLM. I'd reach out to Willamette Valley Wheelers on FB or contact the BLM directly.
@trashandtrail I just joined there page and plan on chatting with them
@@TheKasper14824 Appreciate the subscription and we're all interested in improving Shotgun. I wish we could bring in a few dozen dump trucks of boulders.
@@trashandtrail I so agree
@trashandtrail might be able to get some rigs pull small trailers with rocks
Wanted to watch but the music is just too much of an annoyance. Would much rather hear the sounds of the work being done, that canned Muzak is just noise to my ears, always.
@@EnufIsTooMuch Good feedback! I'll do better!
I got my pickup stuck in a river once. 4 people tried pulling me out with no luck. What saved me was a long tow chain, tow straps, and two come-alongs I had in my toolbox. Nice work Mack
@@larrykoroush6995 Been there, done that and we'll probably do it again!
Great job as usual, gentlemen
@@larrykoroush6995 Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!
Did BLM Inc. pay for the removal and disposal of that RV ?
@@jackwalker3582 They paid for the dump fees, yes!
I think the olde gentleman may be a retired government worker. :)

sad to see there is no recycling on your landfils.worst than in the 3 world countryes.
@@corneliusanderson-t3y It's all supposed to be sorted out before it gets there...and we're just as guilty... there's more we could recycle. Hoping we can get more volunteers to help separate. Realistically very little plastic is recycled, unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
bravo et merci de paris f
@@marcellebaudry5786 Thanks for watching!
Sad fact: That RV likely had less than 75,000 miles on it
@@Zewestcoaster Yeah it's a shame!
I worked for Safari motor coaches years ago. They were located outside Harrisburg (in Oregon). The chassis were made in Harrisburg. Seeing Steve steering that one while you pulled it reminded me of the people driving them out from the Magnum chassis plant to be finished. Awesome people to work with.
@@larrykoroush6995 Ah so you're the one with all the secrets on how to pull them apart! Thanks for watching!
Don't the officials ever seek the owners of these, and hold them accountable ? Great job guys !! Thank you for making a difference 1 camper at a time !!!! Bless you both !
@@dennissarver1963 They try but it's pretty impossible. Who's to say the names or VINs we find aren't from stolen items. There's enough plausible doubt to make prosecution just about impossible.
You both do excellent work. It all looks dangerous, but handling that aluminum made me cringe. What you do makes a big difference. Be safe out there.
I couldn't find the trail number for jeeps. Do you remember what was the trail number you drove on?
@@SlingSuds Trail 3 is the only Jeep rated trail at Shotgun... unfortunately this trail was bulldozed for logging. They restored a couple of obstacles but it's nowhere close to what it used to be. I've got more current videos of that trail... thanks for watching!
@trashandtrail oh man, they had so many trails closed because of logging. Yesterday, 7/14/2024. And I believe that was one of them. I wish they would add longer jeep rated trails . It's too bad this is the only one we got nearby.
@@SlingSuds Too many people trash the trails...garbage everywhere. There are two good trails... Cottage Grove and the Noonday Wagon Road and the 6010 Road up 58 just outside of Crescent.
@@trashandtrail how do you get to the cottage grove trail you are talking about?
@@SlingSuds Noonday Wagon Road up Forest Service Road 22 just past Brice Canyon.
Nice job might want to get a magnetic sweeper
@@DontCryAboutIt I have one...just an idiot and keep forgetting to load it!
@@trashandtrail That's understandable looks like you have multiples of everything!
@@DontCryAboutIt Hard part is organization...yes, I can bring it...but once you've stirred the layers in the truck twice it's a frustrating mess!
Good job guys 💪
@@terencepierce2405 Thanks for watching!
Screw the lug nut back on a little and tap the socket wiggle till it loosing . Try that
@@johneldred1515 Exactly! I learned that the other day and it was an eureka moment!
None disassembly?
@@999torino Didn't have to pull the engine, cut the frame or anything (further!) Just rolled into on to the trailer and hauled it off.
@@trashandtrail Sorry, but that would be "no disassembly". "None disassembly" isn't English. But thanks for being good Samaritans and cleaning up other people's messes.
@@999torino I'm just being silly! Thanks for watching and humoring me!
This is what happens when 2 dumbasses work together use the chain hook on motor lifting holes or in hook driveshaft
I'd like to see one or more the vins used to identify the vehicles registered owner and charge them for the disposal
@@DontCryAboutIt Before we can tow a vehicle we provide the VINs to our local FS law enforcement. The Honda we found, for example, was stolen and the insurance company hired another tow company to recover it.
I'd really like to see some of them trail cameras go up I think that would be some awesome content to catch the people that put the tires out there
@@terencepierce2405 Probably and we're working with the Forest Service on whether or not they could prosecute folks based on our footage.
Man that's some hard work. For such a good cause! Thank You so Much! ✌🏻
@@CountryBoyGasGarage They both had engines... neither had carburators and were probably full of water...one of these we should see if we can get it running! RV big blocks make bad ass hot rods!
Nice job folks , it’s very sad how bad it has gotten up fall creek . I’ve never seen so much trash left by the homeless anywhere . I stopped going up fall creek just because of that and the people that come with all that trash . Way to go Oregon keep voting the way you do and you will keep getting more of this !!!!
@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 It's not just Fall Creek unfortunately.. All the enforcement and recreation money is being diverted to fires.
I commend you guys for doing a job that nobody wants to do even scrappers
@@DontCryAboutIt Thanks!
Great job. I hoje to watch more.
@@andersonrafaelrezendealves5809 Thanks!
Very cool video!! I am not trying to troll by any means but using a flare that long you need use welding safety goggles.
@@grahammedlock3094 I'll have to research that. I didn't think a particular shade level like 5 for cutting torches or 10 or 11 for welding was necessary. Good point!
@@trashandtrail Agreed. Something not quite as dark as a mig/arc welding shield so you can still see at night but maybe oxyacetylene welding goggles
@@grahammedlock3094 Not that it counts but at least the safety glasses I was wearing are polarized.

Man… hand firing display shells.. this is insane!
@@dylanwerle1971 We love it. Nothing like a 5 inch motor in front of you.
Hi Mac! Just wanted to let you know I just finished binge watching all 73 videos in your trail maintenance playlist! All the way through and paying attention throughout! That may be a bit odd, I guess, but I've been laid up with a back injury for a couple weeks and I found your channel and became obsessed with trail maintenance. Great job documenting, and I find it fascinating, relaxing, and very informative! Learned a ton about all the little tricks cutting logs off trails. I'm a wilderness backpacker over in Montana, and love going on some of the back trails that might not see much maintenance; dream about fixing them up and sometimes bring a little hand saw with me. I've never been on a trail crew, but it might end up being in my near future. Thanks a lot for you and your volunteer crews' hard work taking care of our trails and teaching us how its done! Keep it coming!
@@fredmcdonald5067 Hopefully we'll see you out on the trail soon and you can enjoy a new found hobby! Thanks for watching!
Great teamwork all around!!!
Thanks!
The nut on the transfer case mount is loose.
Good spot and fixed!

Agreed. And the time to monitor all of them. And the authorities need to be willing to prosecute based on the footage or it's a waste of time.
