Helicool's Helipad has merch! WHAT?! Check out my awesome designs at teespring.com/...
Thanks Dave,, we had so much fun meeting everyone.
Would have loved to talk more with you about pioneering and Scouting. Please mark your calendar for next year to come back.
Helicool's Helipad , we will be there
@Cory Gill Love the networking!
Wow 2 years has flown by.
Seems like a life time ago when I discovered you channel. You were at your old house. I had been looking at fastidious' build.
Congratulations on all the blessings we all have received in these past few years.
God has been very very good to me and my family. He is working in lives in His way, pouring out His love for many.
I did get a Ti Pi video out too. It was fun to see the group do Show & Tell. Everyone came away with something they seeked.
I saw you video... it was great! When editing my footage... it looked like the tipi raised itself! LOL! I had to add that in there... for tomorrow's video release.
Cory watched that video. Said it was great stuff! And thanks for showing him your tipi, we can’t wait to make one for our Bend lot. You have inspired us! 😋
@@jenngill7772 Bob is good at that... inspiration. All I told him was that it was on my bucket list to make a tipi, and bam! He made one. Inspired me to make one as well.
Dave, thanks for letting Cory come play with all the Tonka trucks!
Actually, maybe not, as he hasn’t shut up since he got home. Lol
Sorry I missed this year, but, literally doctors orders! 😞
Thanks to EVERYONE for signing my hoodie, it was a nice surprise and a great birthday present!
If I can, I’d like to say a special thanks to Krystal! Sneaking stickers into the pocket and the personal note was extra nice 👍. 🤗
Looking forward to seeing everyone Cory talked so highly about next year!
Thanks so much for posting that message here. I hope Krystal sees this. Please PM me your address... I want to send Cory something that might help him diagnose a problem he might be having with his truck. Thank you for letting Cory have an extended "kitchen pass" and come out to play. I am so thankful he balanced the tires on Malachai for me.
Hey there! (Krystal here) You are so welcome! Glad you followed docs orders. We look forward to meeting you next year. Speedy recovery.
Hi Dave, happy to hear that next time will come! 🥳👌👊
That would please me very much!
@Cory Gill Alright then, bring it! If we are going to make this truly epic, I'll need a few extra helping hands, including those that volunteer to teach some classes... even if it is routine maintenance. Hands on demo stuff is always a plus.
Had an amazing time Dave. Thank you for putting in all of the hard work setting this up.
Thank you for helping being a major part of the event. I know I learned quite a lot from your demonstration. I very much enjoyed visiting with you and your wife. Drop by anytime.
Nice job Dave. Thanks for a great weekend! Look forward to next year!
The only thing better than your rig was you. A pleasure meeting and talking to you, and a blessing. I don't think it was a coincidence, as God works for the good for all those that believe in Him. I really hope my son can meet your wife at college and get to know you both... what better people for us to know? ...not many.
That was "epic!" Thanks for getting all that on tape. Sure is a wide variety, even though they are all the same or close to the same truck. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Shows that the sky is limit to people's imagination and how they see their inspiration coming true. If we all thought the same, how boring would that be?
When is the next ROUND UP?!?1? Happy to host in NAPA, CA! We have a great camp ground and lots of food and wine!
Next Roundup is the first weekend in September.
I am glad you got more footage than me. Thanks for putting forth the effort to make this happen! We had a blast and will definitely come back next year!
Thank you, Sean... it was really worth while. You are welcome back any time of the year, my friend. Hope to see you and your dad very soon!
Loose grass could damage the axles and even bend the frame. 😀
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it. Come back anytime my friend.
Krystal, if you see this, to answer your TH-cam Creators question, "How long does it normally take to edit and get a video out?" This one took 5 1/2 hours from start to publishing. It was a bit longer to work on due to the additional content and slow uploads from my place, but that is how it goes sometimes. I would be happy to teach you or answer any questions you have about Filmora if you decide to get it. You and Zack are welcome back at the property anytime you like... which goes for all the "Original Members" of the first annual Great Western FMTV Roundup!
Hey Dave, Thanks SO much! Bought Filmora today and will get busy on some videos to share. We had a BLAST at the roundup, great meeting everyone and we are looking forward to next year. We will definitely stop by when we are in your neighborhood. Take care.
@@BANTHA-M1087FMTV many blessing of safety for you both on the road and until we next can meet up. If you have any questions, let me know. If you are back in the neighborhood, I can teach you some of the tricks that I have learned. Thanks for coming and helping make it memorable for everyone. Cheers!
Great job looks like it was a blast
It was! I was convinced to do it again the following year... and it was twice as big. If we keep growing like this, we will out-grow the field in two years.
@@HelicoolsHelipad congratulations. I'm now following a bunch of the other ltmv and overlander channels.
Trying to decide if I risk buying a m1078+- series from govplanet or pay a little extra for a reconditioned one then building out a box on it. So all this helps
wish I could have been there with Boris. looked amazing! maybe next year.
I hope so. I think I saw some pics of Boris on the FB group page and would like to meet you both in person.
Thank you for putting this very cool gathering together.
The next on is July 31 - August 1st. Are you coming?
Looks Awesome. Great Event. 👍
It was! So much fun... I was like a kid in a candy store. Cory said he couldn't sleep at all... felt like a five year old on the night before Christmas! LOL!
Helicool's Helipad he said the same thing to me! Lmbo
Love the content, great presentation. Looking to join the club, currently hunting/researching FMTVs.
It is a great community of helpful folks. I hope that when you do acquire an FMTV that these videos help you keep it running great. Many blessings to you.
@@HelicoolsHelipad Thank you for the warm welcome.
It is official, I am an owner of a M1079. So excited to start my camper build!
Look forward to watching many of the wonderful videos out there for FMTVs.
Hopefully we can join you next time. Thank you for putting his event on.
We'd love to have you, Paul. We are currently planning the same time next year... last weekend in August. Hope to see you here.
I recognize most of these peeps
Amazing dudes
I agree!
Well done Dave! I am motivated to participate next year. With my low gears, if I start now I might be able to get there by then ;)
I'm in the same boat with low gears. Look on the bright side, you have a year to have the upgrade completed. Where would you be traveling from?
@@HelicoolsHelipad Tucson AZ
@@ollyhondroM715 Wow! That is quite a commitment... but I cannot tell you how awesome it was having everyone here, in one place, at one time. They ALL want to come back next year.
@Cory Gill I am just hoping that I am not a "one man show" like I was this year. Not saying that I can't do it... I am a Warrant after all. LOL! More importantly, I'm a Scouter.
@Cory Gill she is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. When I count me, I am also counting her. Hmmm... logo design, need to make event stickers, tee shirt design, menu and food quantity planning, food shopping, building structures, ordering port-a-potties, staking out the field, mowing, social media event posting, social media updates and advertisements, potable water supply, fire buckets, hand wash station set up, MKT set up, flag poles, schedule classes, schedule instructors, confirmation calls to instructors to see if they are still coming, auction items, and drawing gifts.... I'll take care of collecting funds, budget, waivers, and welcome packets. :-D Don't get me wrong... it was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. If it was not for the auction for the bench, we would have been over budget... which means, it would have cost me to put the event on. The more folks that come, the less per person it costs because costs are more spread out. The original budget was for 50 paid registrations. I've committed to do this again next year... it was too much fun not to do it again, Lord willing.
Great video of the event. I shared with a friend who is looking for one of these as a future add to his garage.
Perfect! The more, the merrier! Next year, we want to blow this event out... hoping for 25 FMTV's or more.
Chad should name it Kermit
I think he is leaning towards the "Green Goblin"... cause it keeps goblin' up the money! LOL!
@@HelicoolsHelipad 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
good morning noble friend, beautiful machines and an interesting lifestyle.
I could camp in it for a week or so at a time, but over two years? Wow! This is tiny house living on monster tires... great bunch of folks! Blessings to you my good friend.
Why's that dude just have a random loose tank engine 😂
He loves to tinker and bring back engines... he also has engines from small navy craft. Mike is a great resource for knowledge!
Where is the best place to buy one of these rigs. I'm familiar with Gov Planet but was wondering if you know of anywhere else!
Private sale. I have seen several come up for sale. Scout out the FMTV Facebook groups, and even eBay, Offer Up, and Craig's List.
@@HelicoolsHelipad Okay, thanks. Btw, when I was young, I used to spend my summers in Adna, WA.
Is this happening again? If so, when and where? Thanks!
Yes! WHEN: July 31 - August 1 WHERE: my place. See the new video just released this week. It has details, including links to FB Groups to get the address and payment information. Hope to see you there.
Hey Dave are you going to have another FMTV Roundup?
Yes! Announcement coming out soon.
When is the next one in 2021?
Looking at the first weekend in August. You coming?
@@HelicoolsHelipad ABSOLUTELY! Please keep me posted! I will bring my M939A2 6X6 EXPANDIBLE named Bertha!
nice!!!
Thanks! Are you thinking about coming to the 2021 roundup?
@@HelicoolsHelipad I hope to make it to at least one of the roundups...I was planning/building a basic camper, but after watching many expedition/overlanding videos on TH-cam, my build has gone in a completely different direction now. I am hoping to build a rig that can be built out to do a little overlanding travel.
What’s the point of telling us those guys were six feet apart?
So if anyone was to lob a grenade, you would know that only one person might be taken out, and not several.
Where was this located at whick state?
Chehalis Washington area. About 30 minutes outside of olympia, or halfway between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.
Exactly what Chris said... :-D
Wonderful Video
Thank you very much! Our Roundups are the first weekend in September.
