My tee shirt arrived today in Scotland ,cheers for the $5 🇺🇸😎
Cerro Gordo has some awesome history man. Love to see you guys going out there!
please bring that intro introduction of people as you guys did in todays video. i think it will be very fun
Hell ya can't wait to see more
What happened to the last vid I was mid watching and it kicked me out
You could do a very long series helping Brent and cerro Gordo!! 99% of both sides fans would enjoy it. I watch y’all both religiously
THIS!!!!
i only came across this channel because i watch Brent !
honestly that would be a good idea. at least these guys seem to know a lil bit about construction and heavy machinery. if brent keeps going it alone, on his current coarse, he's going to get himself or someone else killed out there.
@@Smokey420Greenleaf how so
@@korthosen949 same here! Brent's fans are definitely finding it because of this. When I clicked on the video, I knew the dude looked familiar but I think I've seen him featured on Right This Minute or something so, I've never officially been to this channel until now
Glad you guys could get up there to help him out. He's a trooper that's for sure. Doing it all by himself! Good Luck Stay safe!
He's actually has a lot of help up you just didn't show much of that but it is still him having to make sure it gets done
@@joshjablonicky171 That's Awesome!!! From watching his videos I got the feeling he was alone most of the time. Thanks for the information greatly appreicated!
lmao hes doing nothing by himself.
@@DieselRamcharger You are correct!
@@DieselRamcharger how do you know?
Thank you so much for helping Brent! He is a really rare breed, solid as an oak and just an honest good guy! I love his vision of restoring Cerro Gordo! Thanks for all you are doing to preserve history! A culture that doesn’t value it’s history, has no future! So thank you, God bless you and yours!
Brent brought life back in this town.
He is amazing guy. Can't say it's a ghost town anymore. It's very lively now. Much love everyone ❤️💕
Need more crossovers like this TH-camrs working together to get there channels see by everyone and anyone
Working...???
What I've seen was loads of empty words but no action at all...
This is just another click bate tactic for getting shares and likes nothing else...
No...what is needed is real people with real will to help others, not a bunch of tourists making tourism...
everyone is egotistical nowadays. just check the first comment under this one.
No doubt. Can you imagine the things that could be done with the resources of a global community like YT?
@@charlesurrea1451 Are you guys really trying to shame HeavyD? I mean my gosh, he's LDS and probably has done more mission work in just one day of his life and donated more money to charity in just one day than both of you guys combined. Out of touch!
@@JohnSmith-zi9or I left a positive comment.
We were saying imagine the impact if MORE people did these kinds of things together.
Don't lump me in with those trolls.
I am so happy to see people like you help to keep Cerro Gorrdo going. My 12 yr old son and I watch Brent every week revive the town, so exciting to see it getting this kind of help. Thank you from this Grandma and her son.
My son will definitely enjoy your channel with me as well.
Same here.
I have never watched this channel, but bc of him being at Cerra Gordo, I will sub & watch.
@@peggyvick935 start from the beginning you will become addicted very soon. Watching his ups and downs and doing all the exploring is exciting.
@@LonelyGrandmaMary
Hi Mary,
I have watched Cerritos Gordo from beginning, but never this guy’s channel.
Because of him helping Brent,
I subscribed & will now watch.
Many blessings to you & your grandson.
I have 6 grandchildren.
They’re my darlings. ❤️
Lonely Grandma....
Wow, u must be a young grandma, to have a 12 year old son!
@@fabledfantasty7343 late in life adoption. My oldest is 36 and another is 30. Have 2 granddaughters and another on the way. Most think I’m his grandma and he corrects them quickly.
It is truly humbling to see how much Dave and his crew helped Brent as a viewer thank you for all that you did to help Brent. 🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much for helping Brent. He's worked so hard, and heard so many Nos. He's the most genuine person.
I've been watching Brent (Ghost Town Living) since right after he started his channel. It'll be great to see you guys giving him a hand where no one else will. It really says a lot for you.
Ditto. These boys got a new sub from me.
Same, been watching Brent from the start. Been subbed to HeavyD for a while but didn't expect this 😎
First. They do nothing for free. Second he got busted by government for altering smog issue stuff on the diesel trucks. He’s not the dude you think he is
Of course they'll get paid. TH-cam will eat it up. As far as the smog issues..... All I can say is we all do things we shouldn't sometimes. That doesn't make them bad people. They just know better next time.
@@LiveToSurvive
Oh they (knew better) the first time. I’ll bet there’s more if I started digging but I don’t care enough to put that much energy into it
YES YES YES , you guys are absolutely the best ! Thank you for helping Brent complete his goals.
It's fascinating to see Cerro Gordo through someone's eyes other than Brent's! Thank you so much for helping bring this forgotten town back to life.
Glad someone came through for Brent. His content is very watchable and he hasn't even got started yet.. it will be awesome to see what Cerro Gordo will look like ten years from now along with his content. They should lay some mining track and have like a bucket ride tour around the whole area maybe even through one of the old accessible tunnels.
Thank you for helping Brent!!!!!! A lot of us have been here for his whole journey. When the Hotel burned down, it was a heartbreaking video to watch☹️You have joined Brent’s army to preserve history! Thank you so much and thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to watch what you all do❤️👍🏻
Couldn't have said better myself
HeavyD is by far EPIC in the push for Brent & making a huge difference in the awake dream of Brent's & truly restored his strength, improved his own knowledge & ability & vision for history & gathering of ppl in brotherly love & exploration altogether. He needed it so bad it was quite touching totally EPIC! I Live all their channels & all the brothers so much that included dearest Brent. What u said was understated just saying . Love u as well ok!
So glad to see you help Brent he’s a great guy
Cannot say enough how glad I am you are involved in helping Cerro Gordo come alive. I have followed Brent since the beginning and he really needs serious man and machine help. You and your team are the best at the impossible. 👍🏻❤️
It's so awesome to know that there's good souls like you guys out there! I love to follow Brent's adventures and then came here to see the "behind the scenes" and how you guys did it. Too cool for words!
I heard that 93 yards of concrete were successfully poured onsite.
they did it and lets just say the equipment they had to bring in the end plus the valenter/fan workers was huge. cerro gordo looked like a true large scale developmental construction site for a bit as they did their work
Definitely watched a few episodes last year and when the hotel burnt down was so distraught with pain for him and the historical value of that building. I'm Canadian but loved the story he was telling
Yeah he was about to cry when that happened you can hear the care for that town in his voice
Thank you, Dave, for doing this. We've been going to Cerro Gordo for decades, and losing the hotel hurt. We hope you stopped by to see Jodie (previous owner, her grace overlooks the town) and thank you so much for your help!!!
Thank you so so so much for helping Brent rebuild the American beautiful hotel... ive watched his channel from day one on his journey with this town... its amazing and so much history.... your a massive part of history now of rebuilding for him... I cried alot when the fire happened... his struggle of talking telling his audience... broke my heart horribly. Thank you for you ,your team, the hard work the compassion he has described you as... An Angel... I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to watch your videos as well... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... from South Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Ghost Town Living is right up there next to HeavyD on my favorite TH-cam channel list! Talk about dream collab!!! And I get to watch it twice 🤣
Same here! So cool!
Same
Heck ya im down for the series i'll watch them adds when i get quality content like this
Damn straight.
These guys are awesome 👌 I have watched all 3 this far, they even opened up a few closed mines and they explored with Brent at Cerro Gorrdo 😊✌
agreeed, youtube has sucked for like two years, more of this please!
I'm coming over from Brent's channel to thank you for being his angel!💜 You guys rock!
Great to see the process of the help for Cerro Gordo, I live in New Zealand and have been following Brents progress. You awesome guys are going to be a massive help 💖
Found your video after watching Brent's latest posting. I've been watching his channel since it started, and it was heartbreaking when the hotel burnt down, so it's fantastic to see people like you helping Brent out like this. I would love to visit there one day and stay in the hotel you're helping him rebuild. Cheers guys.
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for helping Brent. Can’t wait to see all of this come together.
I have been watching Brent's Cerro Gordo story ever since his first TH-cam video. Thank you for helping him. 👍
I started watching you vlog after seeing you help Brent at Cerro Gordo. It is amazing how much you put a smile on his face and many others. I've been in the need of some heavy lifting, seeing your kindness and work ethic has helped with a recovery you never knew existed. My heart and soul has been stranded deep and you and your crew have helped along with Brent ❤🧡 Thank you for all that you do can't wait to see more from you and the rest of the crew. Be safe have a beautiful day
Beautiful area and really brimming over with history that should be preserved for future generations. Thank you for your major contribution to that end…
Someday I’d love to visit Cerro Gordo
So glad yall are helping Brent out. We randomly stumbled upon his channel when he started it and now my fiance and I watch it every Sunday night!
You guys are awesome!!! Been watching Brent for the past year beat his head against a wall to get this done, so glad you'll stepped up to help him out.
Man I love ghost town living and your channel. I’ve been watching his channel since the beginning and it’s so cool that you two are collabing!
I was a general contractor for 30+ years retired now and I definitely would build the batch plant on site
Exactly what I had in mind !
Same here. I am going to also watch with interest how they get the amounts of water that is going to be needed up there. Everyway you turn, the challenge of the water and concrete is going to be daunting. Batching it on sight is the most desirable, IMO, yet does create challenges but could probably get away with just using maybe 2 mixers. If it were my job, water, water and water are the first priorities to get solved. trucking in water will be a major ordeal by itself. Smaller amounts at a time getting up that canyon, and seeing what is down in the spring in the mine won't cut it. Just my observations.
You are doing a wonderful thing helping someone fulfil his dream as well as venturing into history.
Just want to say thanks for all your help with all concrete work you did for ghost town living. Looking forward to your future content.
I think I mentioned to Brent before that he should wear a hard hat inside of a mine. In 30+ years mining I have seen things that would change your mind quickly about wearing a hard hat.
Agreed 👍 saftey first. I've had a Helmet save if not my life than certainly my mental faculties a couple of times.
Yeah and maybe a rebreather and an O2 sensor
When I visited I suggested he take a MSHA course. It's all private property so the government shouldn't bother him much but I get nervous seeing him exploring the way he does.
he will get what hes got coming. thats for sure.
@@DieselRamcharger Weird comment, whats he got coming to him?
Love Ghost Town Living, I live in a coal mining village in north east England, we had shafts that went half a mile down and up to three and a half miles out under the North sea , The cages were double decker's twenty men on the top and twenty on the bottom. Happy you are helping him as that place needs to be saved .
@Jeffy Brow he's lying
@@Mx5Man how would you even know that !? 🤔
HolyShhh...😳😲
They actually brought this technique to where I live on Vancouver island in Canada when they found coal and started mining to send back to England, there is a coal shaft that goes down a couple hundred feet then shoots out under the harbour
@@Mx5Man No he isn't, the Ellington Colliery in northumberland which closed 20+ years ago had workings that went out as far as 15 miles under the north sea www.theguardian.com/business/1999/nov/01/7
WoW! You guys got me hooked, love your TH-cam channel. The video is amazing, and I can’t wait to see what else you have in store. Thank you for helping Brent and also saving the dream of Cerro Gordo. I’m subscribed
New sub to your channel. Thanks for helping Brent out with everything on his plate. It really is too much for one man to get everything done. Thanks to the volunteers at Cerro Gordo too, you folks are the blood, sweat and seeds of new life in the town. Brent has accomplished so much, working with the volunteers, but getting the hotel rebuilt is his main obsession. The next is getting the water back reliability. I keep hoping that he will find a huge fresh water aquifer beneath the mountain that is accessable and free of contamination.
Love how you guys make all these shows feel like a community for the viewers. Keep up the good work 👊🏻
I watch ghost town loving and to see this and your donating its fantastic. Such a nice gesture cant wait to see this develop
I’ve been following Brent since almost the beginning. I love what he’s doing. I found you through him & I love seeing a different perspective on the town.
So glad he finally has a foundation & 1st floor.
Thank you for helping him with that…you’re awesome 🏆
This so cool to see! I wasn't aware of your channel before, but am a big fan on the ghost town stuff. Thank you for supporting the preservation of history! What an interesting time to be alive, where I can watch a video on my phone, while on the toilet, and the ad revenue goes to help.
What's even more wild the valley below use to be a big beautiful lake!! After the L.A. aquaducts were built it drained away forever... Sad really, look up old pictures of it, was so beautiful..
I've been watching Brent and (Ghost Town Living) for a while, watched his video about how he was trying to figure out how to get concrete up to the site and I"ve been thinking about it alot. I used to help run a concrete batch plant from set-up to yearly maintenance, and dealing with getting concrete trucks in and out of bad spots was the reason a pump truck, and concrete pumping is so popular. Now, don't get me wrong, I've watched some of your videos too, and you have got to have some of the most badass trucks available, but the problem isn't the horsepower to get the concrete up to Cero Gordo, the problem is the road and the grade of the existing road. The wider the truck, the less road you have and the more likely for an accident to occur, unless you are prepared to get the road right - passable for heavy trucks, and even then the grade may be more than driveshafts or u-joints can stand. I'd think about other options. I know he said he needed 90 CY's of concrete, which isn't alot, but is the slab of the hotel all he is ever going to build up there? If he wants to continue to grow, probably not, right? I'd consider setting up a small batch plant in the town, fly that sucker in with a load bearing helicopter if you have to, or use smaller trucks to haul the dry cement up in bulk bags, and mix it onsite.
I know it seems like alot for such a small amount of concrete but they have smaller batch plants assuming he does have access to water and 3 Phase electricity. Either way, I'm definitely interested to see how this turns out. It seems like you guys are great problem solvers and trouble shooters, just keep safety in mind on this one as you try to hulk that mud up the hills.
Sorry Im a bit late. AFAIK Brent doesn't really have running water. The only "running water source" is a pool a couple hundred feet down the main mine shaft with a pump to send up a trickle that works like half the time.
He was also looking into helicopter lifting concrete up there but the price alone could've bought him a good sized house. So it wasn't really an option, and that was BEFORE he knew how much concrete he was going to need
@@everythingsalright1121 have to dig a well !
@@Bobcatspiritdude I think he tried that too. I don’t remember why but he had problems with that too.
I’ve been following Brent and just came across your video. You did an awesome video of the town and what your doing at Cerro Gordo. Bless your heart for helping Brent with his dream for everyone to enjoy. Definitely going to check out your Channel. Love your video content. Your got some amazing views of Cerro Gordo. Thanks for helping and thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys soooooo much for helping Brent with Cerro Gordo! I know how much it means to him and his community! I only hope one day i can come visit there. You guys rock and I absolutely subscribed and liked the videos! Your channel is very interesting and I thank Brent for sharing your link! Happy trails! ❤❤❤❤
I had my mind made up that the D in HeavyD was for Douche.
I am so happy to be wrong 😁.
Dave & Friends are extremely cool, fearless, compassionate, generous, educational & inspiring. I have been following Brent & his awesome endeavor for over a year, I can't imagine two more different personalities but I'm hoping they are able to accomplish great things together. Thanks Guys, stay safe & good luck.
Badass airplane!! Guys I thank you all for this!! It's nice to see everybody helping each other out with the TH-cam family!!
This is great, I love the vibe of everybody and the generosity
Kudos to u all.
So glad I stumbled across your channel. Absolute legends! Keep doing what you doing. Now binge watching, happy days 😁👍😁 England 🏴
I knew it the second I saw it. I was like, HOLY SHIT! Heavy D and the boys are going to Cerro Gordo! Awesome!!!
Videos back up! Ghost town living ftw!
Awesome!!!!!!
I’ve been following Brent for quite a while now. And love the support and energy you’ve shown. Would love to be a part of this project when travel allows me to get there from the UK
Thank you so much for helping Brent and Thank you for your generosity! That's really heartwarming to come across such decent people like yourself. (I've come from Cerro Gordo's channel).
Y’all are awesome for helping out Brent! Can’t wait to see all this happen!!
Thank you guys. I live in Lone Pine, CA and have watched Cerro Gordo slowly degrade. It is great to see attention being brought to Cerro Gordo and it's history.
Big thank you from New Zealand. Loving the Cerro Gordo Ghosttown youtube channel with Brent. You and your teams help will go a long way and is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to going through your youtube channel content
Awsome job I'm binge watching all episodes.. love the history of the mines all over. I live at the Mojave tropico mine in rosamond calif.. keep up the awsome work..
Knew this looked familiar. I’ve been following him for the whole journey. So cool with this collab.
So stoked you’re taking this full on. And before June 15th. Damn good job guys.
Watching you and watching Brent has become my "must watch" as often as possible to keep my attitude where I want it.
Very thankful that people like you exist and have the resources you have.
This was great, really enjoyed this one! Can’t wait to see the next video. Helping this man with his project is showing people the kind of men you are!
Definitely looks better than the 360p from yesterday. Much more impactful on those views.
Lol at least your internet isn’t so doodoo that you have to watch it on 144p 😂
@@05cateye96 I'm on 56k dialup
Thank you very much for helping Brent, I really enjoy his channel and now am having fun watching your channel too,
I am amazed at all he has already done and anxious to see all he still wants to do. My guess is that if you weren’t there to help he would still be searching for help. Thanks again and God Bless you all and be safe on this adventure. Looking forward to watching the progress .
you guys are absolutely the best ! Thank you for helping Brent complete his goals.
Just love you guys. It's nice to see people helping each other out. You and your crew are sons I would be very proud of. God bless you and your families.
The best town in the middle of nowhere 🦾💯 I rate the drive came here from part 2. Heavydsparks are a blessing to the town 💯
You guys flipping ROCK!!! Absolutely amazing souls to help others see their dreams turn into reality, it’s powerful work guys 💜💜💜
I've been waiting on Brent pulling in a a bad ass team to help get some gnarly shit going on in the town. Helll YEAH!!
This venture earned my subscription. Thanks guys.
Seen several HeavyD videos that entertained, but I never made the effort to sub...dunno why. Just, TH-cam surfin..This however, hit it home.
Brent's channel has been crazy entertaining for me with his devotion and philosophy. His reaction when he lost that hotel was gut wrenching.
Thanks so much for this partnership.
It even makes good business sense on a TH-cam level! Cross channel subs here they come.
Great job guys.
Rad thank you guys for helping save a really cool piece of our California history (and some of my favorite kind of California history) loveing the videos! Awesome!
Hats off to you, Heavy. You win back a lot of Brownie points for helping out Brent. It's a really Honourable cause and a lot more fulfilling than getting mixed up with the 'Trevor Miltons' of this world...
You're doing a great thing, Bud'
Stumbled across you video and love old history, so watched, and I needed to look for a couple types of insurance, so I will definitely check them out. Now I am going to watch the rest of the video.
I'm so happy you guys got to meet Brent and get him so much needed help! I started watching your channel because of his channel and I love what you guys are all about too! So I just subscribed to you and will be watching! Thank you for all your hard work!
Hi from Australia watching your video's are truly amazing I watch them whenever I can and absolutely love them.
The fact that you and you're team helping others is very inspiring to not only myself, but too millions around the world so thank you..
But I pray you all stay safe at that mine. Elle
Thank you for helping Brent with the town . You guys are heaven sent .
It's back!!! Let's watch Cerro Gordo get improved more and more!!
Why so it becomes a crazy tourist destination?
@@Meekerextreme I doubt it will ever become a crazy tourist destination. But yes, I believe the goal is to make it a small tourist destination!
This is so cool. I met the ghost town a few months back. And I think that’s how I found your channel. You guys both are awesome. Thank you so much for giving me awesome Saturdays. Working all day so many hours during the week and get to watch people like you guys are dream. God sometimes I wish I could do with you do I just write along. LOL keep up the good work. And have awesome videos
What a great production of this vlog. Fantastic photography, sound, handsome men….well done, guys. And a big thank you for helping out Brent .oh…love your drone work as well!
YESSSSSSSS i was waiting for it honestly i already watch the cerro gordo channel im so exited to watch this
It's looking like this series will be 🔥🔥
Cool bunch of guys with an awesome TH-cam channel. Keep up the great videos. I'll be watching. I feel a binge coming this weekend😎
Thank you and your crew for making this happen for Brent, and The Ghost Town, got a new sub here.
I use to run a Freightliner up some narly dirt roads, at least it had a tandem locker. Sounds like you need to find some Telma systems for those rigs. That alone will save the Jakes and pads on the way down and keeps the drivers safe. Awesome to see you pitching in to save such an important part of American history.
Glad too see the collab this guy has worked so hard on his ghost town, started following him a year ago and he’s came so far
Love you and the whole crew! I think you had/have a show on Discovery that I watched a few years back which I enjoyed a lot. I’ve been following Ghost Town Living for the past half year, and I didn’t realize you were on TH-cam until his latest episode. You have my sub!
Thank you so much for helping him. I’ve been following him since he started it on TH-cam.
We use mix on the fly cement systems in the oilfield to case wells. Maybe bring it dry and mix on site. There’s water on site, he needs a 500 barrel frac tank he can fill there.
Jeffery Cerasano. Hope they contact you about this knowledge. !!!
There is an extremely limited amount of water up there. To make it worse it’s around the 8th year of a terrible drought, there’s hardly any snow pack left and it’s only the beginning ofJune. It’s going to be tough, water will have to be brought up. (Ironically from SoCal, which has taken the Owens Vally water for 100 years now).
I love you guys. You do amazing things for people. Keep up the great work. 😊
u's Guys are crazy wonderful and so entertaining to watch and I cant forget to say Generous !! Thank you for helping Brent I just started watching your videos IM HOOKED I love how you hauled those big rigs that were abandoned and the storage building you bought wow!!!
I'm excited for part two. My buddies and I attempted to figure out ways to help out but we were just too far away and too small to make it happen. Can't wait to watch more of your content.
This project means a lot to me. You guys are amazing!
I absolutely love everything outdoors please keep em coming👊😎
So aweome always love watching these videos ever since I found your content I'm addicted and I never knew you had a show lol sorry but now I'm watching all these videos and never disappointed just addicted. .to them so much fun
Thank you for taking on this project. It really is going to make a huge difference in Cerro Gordo! Can't wait to see how you pull it off... not if... but how because if we can have 100% faith that anyone can accomplish this... it's gonna be HeavyD hands down. Thank you so much on behalf of everyone interested in America's history.
I'm a miner now in Illinois and that is so cool I love what I do every day of the week its amazing on the different atmosphere down there
What do you do in the mine? What take place and why?
I'm from Illinois I didn't know mines was there
Yes sir we are a coal mine I build the mettial can supports for long wall moves and stuff like that I love what I do its called the jpak in masadoniea il there's 4 mines we sell and make for and they are ruff around 800 to 1300 feet deep some of the minds its amazing what u see under ground its like a city in its self
@@joshuawright7753, I see when you love what you do you can enjoy life. I was born and raised in Illinois.
How long do you stay in the mind at one time?
How is this mine in the video different than the one you work in?
Are there slip holes in the mine you work?
What are some of the things you see while down below other than what you told me?
Could a mine be high for instance could you be on top of a mountain from the top go down down down; would that be considered a mine?
I'm trying to get a clear picture of what you told me. If you could go into more detail it will be helpful.
Have a great day,
Peace
What a fabulous project. I can see that you are in awe and want to get going but slightly nervous. Loved the video. Xxx
Good Morning D and friends. I can't get enough of these videos.
I've been sharing them to my Facebook for my family and lifelong friends. Before my Dad got Alzheimers, he would have loved to go in those mines with you all. He taught me how to ride dirt bikes. Oh, I found Brent's channel and subscribed to it. Oh man that looks like a lot of fun. My Montesa would love those roads. Lol. She just needs a major rebuild and clean. :-(.
