Being down on your luck and using public lands to get your act together is one thing , trashing the place is bad , but then torching vehicles is just evil
i mean to give the benefit of the doubt it could have been completely accidental but if you're already hosed living down on your luck with no power or phone and something catches fire. but i mean, people were involved, and I've met people and they've disappointed me a lot more often than not so I get where you're coming from :)
My mom and dad went through the great depression and their camp and all the others were kept spotless, even sweeping the dirt floors. They had respect for themselves and others.
i used to keep my front and back garden tidy but they are both overgrown now . these types of people are the cause of it . this is what people who are living off the state engage in .
I have lived professionally homeless for years. I did not litter. I just took out the trash. I’m very thankful for the work that you did. Got me a home now. I’m still not littering. I think a piece of garbage is gold because when I remove it the place is forever that much better.
I agree , it’s one thing to be down on your luck , I’m not mad at people for doing what they have to do , but for god sakes don’t live like pigs & trash everything. Keep it somewhat clean .

I worked for the Missouri Department of Transportation when I was in engineering school and was assigned to cleaning rest areas along I-70 (a delightful use of my engineering skills) and I was absolutely astounded at some of the traveling public and their total disregard for public facilities and property. This was in the late 1960's and the interstate I was working was less than 2 years old. People cleaned out their stock trailers, vans, or cars and just left the trash laying in the parking lots. And this was in the 60's!! I see not much has changed. The rest rooms and picnic areas that were built as part of the highway construction were first class. The only bright side was that if I caught someone in the act of doing bad things, all I had to do was write up an incident report with a description of the vehicle, license plate, VIN number, and a narrative of what was done. Had to be careful since some of the motoring public were psycho even back then. Their reward was that the highway patrol would either pull them over further down the road and write them up or they would receive a summons in the mail or in person at their current location. Did not get them all but got a lot. I still had to pick up and remove a whole lot of bad things.

Thank you Casey and friends for all you do on these cleanups. Just saddens my heart to see this destruction of our beautiful lands by us humans. I am so ashamed. Thanks for the videos!
AWESOME JOB! Poor Casey your day was just one of those days that things didnt go so smooth as they could but no major disasters, no one hurt, & job got done. AWESOME! THANK YOU & TO EVERYONE THAT TOOK THEIR TIME, & EQUIPMENT TO GO CLEAN UP THE FOREST! Be Safe! Keep Your Head Up! 👍
Unreal, Casey. When I think of Oregon (never been), I picture nothing but pristine. This absolutely breaks my heart, but thank God for folk like you who are willing to give of your time and resources to clean up such a mess. I just don't get people who do shit like this....I just don't. THANK you, and all others who do their part to protect and preserve nature.
Now that I am retired I am hoping to be able to do some camping/travel in the western states. I would like to be able to spend time in National Forest and BLM land, but I don't want to have to be surrounded by trash piles from homeless camps. I appreciate the work you guys are doing. It looks like a never ending battle to clean up after the people who make all the trash. I hope there are ways to avoid the trash piles. My backpacking experience was always on the basis of "Pack out your trash and leave campsites better than you found them". I'm too old for hard core backpacking, but the rule should still hold.
Oregon, Washington and California should probably be no goes for you. We're so mismanaged it's disgusting. The most beautiful part of the country destroyed by politics.
@@MargieM10 I live in California my whole life and surrounded by forestry land and BLM. Traveling all over the state and I’ve never seen anything like this site in Oregon. Maybe a little trash or some toilet paper but nothing even close to this place. Maybe they let things go during covid or something?!?
@@Connectthedots117 It started getting bad a couple of years before COVID but yes, COVID took it over the top. I live in Salem and all of our natural parks are just trashed. They're starting to clean a few out but it's not even safe to go during the day. The trashy RVs, tents, etc and addicts with no effort to make them leave, even with plenty of open shelters. Taking up "residence" in the doorways of businesses... it's unlivable. Again, they're making some effort to fix it but it's going slow. I can't even begin to explain Portland. Just sad.
Casey you need a battery powered leaf blower and to clean off rollback and for accident site cleanup of debris and I have used it for years and my uncle's now use'em. For their own equipment too.
Quick on the fly thinking! I use a similar line myself... Don't let the truck outsmart you! Always fun seeing how others fix issues to keep working, great job to keep the flow going I'd say! Always good having backup to assist when needed, too... When they are good buddies to talk crap back and forth it's even better 😂 Btw thank you very much for all the work you do, and sharing getting more people out to help! Awesome stuff
Wow, 37 vehicles….great job to all. And having a good friend like Jeremy and others involved, that fully understand the cost of volunteering as you have must really help. I hope I can find a like minded group here in my area to join!!
If you can't find 1 start 1 just remember picking up trash is the easy part and cleaning up public lands alot of landfills will waive the dumping fee for the project but with vehicles check with the local or state police about what has to be done before you can touch a vehicle some states are stricter than others
All that carnage is just disgusting! Thank you and all your helpers for trying to put a dent in the mess. Just don't understand why they would trash everything like that.
I am really enjoying your channel. Helping that vet makes me feel good that there’s still people that do things like that. Keep up the good work! I would say Matt off road has some competition😅
Amazing work Casey, and great job to everyone involved in this great clean up. It is truly sickening to see the mess those people are making and the fact that they just move on and leave all that trash. It is truly sad that they can't be made to be accountable for the mess they've left behind. Nature should be enjoyed by everyone and not destroyed by the few.
THANK YOU for cleaning off all the dirt and debris before going down the road with that junk. Over decades of driving, I've had to file multiple windshield replacement claims because of truck drivers who don't take the same pains with their loads.
@@davidwoermansr Every incident was debris bouncing off of trucks in the opposite lane of traffic heading the other direction, and the largest item was a rock the size of billiard ball. So, no, not "nails and screws and you were following too close", but thanks for your uneducated guess.
@@NorthernKitty I was talking about what would've fell off the frame of the burnt RV he was hauling not what happened to you in the past and you're welcome for the very educated knowledge of hauling those kind of things BTW I don't worry about cleaning them off whatever hangs on bouncing on the backroads should ride fine on the highway
You do need the secondary tank. The extra air is used to keep your parking brake off in case you have to use your brakes a couple times. Without it your parking brake can apply while you are going down the highway. It is there for extra air volume.
Nice to have all those tools with you. Drove Ready mix for years and always had a tool box with me. Just pulled on a job fully loaded when the truck shut down, felt like a running out of fuel sort of thing. Since it had been in for service day prior, I checked clear fuel filter bowl and it was empty (O ring was bad). Managed to hook in and out lines together and bypass filter, bled all the injectors and got truck going. Job superintendent said he had never seen a mixer driver do that kind of repair. Pays having been a truck mechanic and helicopter mechanic for 20+ years.
I really like your clean-up videos. Now my kids want me to build a 4x4 and gin crane on my trailer. The local off-road club removes burned cars from the beach.
I'm sorry to learn that you had to go through that mechanical issue. I have noticed how skilled you are especially in addressing mechanical issues. I am confident that the challenge you are dealing with will soon be over.
Gosh what a hail of a day! But through it all Casey persevered. Thanks to all that worked so hard to clean up that mess. I just can't wrap my head around all that trash, how it's even possible. Homosapieans are truly the most filthy animals on the planet. Hope your truck is ok after that mess. Stay safe and GOD bless
And that's just prep day. It's pretty smart. This way you don't have all the volunteers moving around the large heavy equipment moving large heavy equipment. But still, going and picking up all the detritus. Braver and stronger than I, but if I lived closer, I'd have to prove myself wrong. Y'all are doing great things.
Excellent effort by everybody that helped. What I don't understand is how that was allowed to get that way in the first place. Public use is one thing but squatting is another.
For all viewers watching 10.12.24 will also be a cleanup day at Coyote Butte on China Hat rd so of Bend. Volunteers welcome. Come out and help others like Casey who Volunteer their time and effort. Make new friends!
Thanks Casey and all the other volunteers. I had been watching a video about the homeless problem in Portland and read a comment about all of Oregon was becoming a homeless camp. It is looking like that comment was accurate. I’m sorry that people are such pigs anymore. I have to pick up trash every time I take my SxS out on trails near where I live in Idaho.
@@george2113 Side by Side Utv. 50 inch wide machine. I help with trail maintenance in my area. And I pick up other peoples trash when I’m out exploring or doing maintenance.
It's a worldwide problem also pigs are really clean animals and the only way they'd live in that filth is if you built a fence around it and forced them to
This video shows the quality of people Casey associates with, friends show up and fix his truck as he's using the same truck to load a junk vehicle to get it out of the woods...good quality folks here. Central Oregon is in good hands.
I lived in Bend for 11 years through the 90’s and I don’t remember it ever being that bad in that area then. Pretty sad to see. Thank you for what you do and helping keeping it clean. Wish I live closer to come help with the clean up.
Hey Casey, You need to take the wrecker up Hell's gate like Robby took his limo. Oh yeah, a big thank you from all of the drivers behind you for trashing your gloves and cleaning the frame off before you hit the road. You the Man!
Wow!! Definitely got a ton cleaned up in one day! 😎 Definitely time for a pressure washer after that haul! As always, thanks for sharing! Watchin from Maine 🇺🇸
Hey Casey !! Take your ""Jack knife "" & widdle a wood plug from a tree limb to plug the tank !! Had to do that when the fuel line got broke off do to a retread blowout !! Anyhows ,, Great job you guys are doing out there to keep OR. clean !!🙃😉🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍
@Casey LaDelle I've done the "carve a wooden plug and hammer it in" routine. It's all a matter of how desperate you are. You weren't so much as proper help was on the way!
An allen wrench makes a great substitute for an easy out when you are in a bind. Pound the short side of the allen wrench in and then you have a the long side to use a handle for leverage. That trick was taught to me by an old farmer.
I had one of those drains blow apart going down the interstate, I had no brakes. Geared down and wheeled into the truck stop a little faster than I wanted to
Hey I’m glad you’re getting a power washer! I love love love mine! Except for I practically rebuilt it last fall and because it turned cold so suddenly I couldn’t even get to all the jobs I had planned for it! Then yesterday I got it out and filled it up with gas and pulled it a few times and Pop the cord blew apart. Fortunately 2 strands were still holding on for dear life. So I pulled it apart and before I cut the strands I used a zip tie to go through the holes. Start on the outside, go in through the inside of your cord wheel over at least two of the ribs and back through your covers metal louvers line up the knot on the inside to the hole and secure it from the outside by tightening up the zip tie . I got really lucky when mine came apart! I didn’t keep yanking the rope to get it to go back in! If you have ever done this yank it all the way out, and it snaps, you are probably familiar with the sound of the coiled metal spring blowing up inside your small gas engines air cooling housing! That’s another story entirely and you have a worse mess. So once I threaded the new pull rope through the handle with a stop knot, I took the handle put it back together and then pushed the end of the rope right into the hole again tied it into a knot in the hole, put it all back together and Voila pulled it a couple of times and it started !!! Bought it from a pawn shop, back in 2008 or so and it’s on its second pump now, and still working!!! With that rotary motion novel it takes rust and paint off, but it’s an old amazing Craftsman! It has paid for itself multiple times over the years!!! Recycle Re-use Re-pourpose!!!😊
Hey Casey , careful of the rocks with your rollback , you might break some , never mind 😖 . Thanks for the recommendation to Troy's channel , cool channel ( and yes , subbed )
It is really sad, that's beautiful country and to see all that mess is heartbreaking, I was always taught when camping to always leave it better then I found it!
I do not understand how the law enforcement, park rangers, both state and federal do not stop this from happening. I am surrounded by national forest in Virginia and this never happens. Thank you for working to clean it up.
Hey Casey, another great treat. As an older (more mature) and lazy guy, I invested in the chain binders with the fittings that would let me tighten or loosen them with my Makita impact. A bit more expensive, but so much faster and easier.. Just an idea because I know you like to be efficient. Kepp up the good work.
I was going to comment on how I’d fix that drain but then you did exactly what I would, only thing I could add. I us a propane soldering torch (always have one handy know, saved me more times than I can count) to melt whatever sealant is on the threads then the broken fitting usually comes out easy with a flathead screwdriver
Casey I support your channel by watching. This is not me bitching, but the really sad part about the homelessness. Is a society that leads up to so much homelessness. Keep up the good work.
You can temporarily stop the bipping for low air pressure by holding at the same time panel light switch down and the little trip stick in the cluster for about 5-10seconds. As long as the key is on you'll don't have to deal with the alarm.
If I didn't live in the deep south 🥴 I would love to be out there helping clean up the NF. It makes my blood boil at how a few can make a beautiful place look like a dump! Thank you to everyone who comes to the rescue and works to keep the public land open for all to enjoy! I plan to visit nw in the future and explore the beautiful country.
As someone with relatives and roots in the deep south, I can tell you there are PLENTY of opportunities to help clean up dump sites in your neck of the woods. 😊 This isn't just a northwest thing.
I travel the lower 47 regularly and prefer rural camping over urban camping when I find public land I can get in and out of without breaking anything or scratching my ride (unless I'm in my 6x6 wrecker that old military paint takes alot to scratch) but wherever I shut down for the night I always wander around and fill at least 1 lawn and leaf bag full of trash to wind down my day and get some exercise I missed out on because I was traveling instead of in the shop I was taught young when fishing and hunting if you pack it in pack it out and always leave the land how you found it if not better these cleanup videos have that poor native American bawling instead of just 1 tear trickling down his cheek
Great job on the cleanup!! Sorry you broke your truck! I think a pressure washer is a good idea. I'm surprised you didn't already have one with the messes you get into! 😆
Was that a Audit parked alongside the tarped over trailer. 21:21 It is great that you and the crew spend a weekend or more cleaning that mess. I would feel so guilty if I left any place I was camping in such a mess. But I'm not in their shoes and don't know just how bad thier lives are to have to live in the wood. With rent skyrocketing though out the country, its sad to say that you guys will be seeing more and more.
The old original seers craftsman screwdrivers with the clear handle with the red and blue paint on the ridges make really good chisels especially after you broke the tips off using the screwdriver for things they were meant to be used for. Hit me up next time you’re in Portland I got a whole drawer full of easy outs and stud removal power tools that I no longer use
won't allways work but a wood plug made from a tree branch and driven into the broken fitting will hold a lot more pressure than one would think, just don't waste time trying it on a hydrylic fitting.
Fantastic that you and the others volunteer to help with these cleanups. As I have seen several of your videos with these efforts. Curious of how to prevent the re-occurrence of this?
This homeless situation sickens me. I witnessed a situation in Branson Mo last year, inside of the city limits, that wasn’t on this magnitude but really made me mad. This was on private land that belongs to an organization named Elevate whose primary mission was to rehab homeless people. They lived on this property and after the organization moved them on they left plies of trash right out on the city street and strewn throughout the property. Sickening!
Look at the bright side Casey, when you sheared that bleeder valve you purged all of the accumulated oil build up in the tank and didn't end up wearing any of it. Ask me how I know. 🤔 thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸👍
Casey, when I drove truck I always carried copper tubing ( less than a foot ), rubber hose, hose clamps, and pipe fittings that all would fit any part of the air system. They don't take up much room but can save your a** when broke down even if an illegal repair just to get you rolling again so you can make a proper repair later. Keep'em rolling... you 're doing great!
I have lived here for 20 years, less than a mile probably from this shit. I can't believe how bad it is getting. I don't even go into the forest anymore its just sad and disgusting. Thanks for cleaning it up!, I'm sure it will look the same again in 3 months though :(
You can always whittle a stick and plug the hole with until you get to where you could repair it. Had to do that to air up a tractor trailer to tow it.when the drive shaft came out and knocked a fitting off the air tank.
LoL! I knew you weren't going to get that out on that first attempt. Sometimes you can pound an allen wrench in it. The screw driver attempt was impressive. It would have worked if you had the exact right size. I've owned cars that I needed a Snap-On tool truck following me around to keep it on the road!
yep... i burn everything and then come back and haul the rest off for recycling. those 'eviction areas' are terrible, just completely filled with biohazards and fire is the best cleanser.

AWESOME JOB! Poor Casey your day was just one of those days that things didnt go so smooth as they could but no major disasters, no one hurt, & job got done. AWESOME!
THANK YOU & TO EVERYONE THAT TOOK THEIR TIME, & EQUIPMENT TO GO CLEAN UP THE FOREST!
Be Safe!
Keep Your Head Up! 👍
Man, this video has it all, trail repair, doing good things, giving each other grief.
And a hail storm!
Unreal, Casey. When I think of Oregon (never been), I picture nothing but pristine. This absolutely breaks my heart, but thank God for folk like you who are willing to give of your time and resources to clean up such a mess. I just don't get people who do shit like this....I just don't. THANK you, and all others who do their part to protect and preserve nature.
Now that I am retired I am hoping to be able to do some camping/travel in the western states. I would like to be able to spend time in National Forest and BLM land, but I don't want to have to be surrounded by trash piles from homeless camps. I appreciate the work you guys are doing. It looks like a never ending battle to clean up after the people who make all the trash. I hope there are ways to avoid the trash piles. My backpacking experience was always on the basis of "Pack out your trash and leave campsites better than you found them". I'm too old for hard core backpacking, but the rule should still hold.
Leave no trace.. thank you
@@bobcooper1055 Take only photographs and leave only footprints.
Oregon, Washington and California should probably be no goes for you. We're so mismanaged it's disgusting. The most beautiful part of the country destroyed by politics.
@@MargieM10 I live in California my whole life and surrounded by forestry land and BLM. Traveling all over the state and I’ve never seen anything like this site in Oregon. Maybe a little trash or some toilet paper but nothing even close to this place. Maybe they let things go during covid or something?!?
@@Connectthedots117 It started getting bad a couple of years before COVID but yes, COVID took it over the top. I live in Salem and all of our natural parks are just trashed. They're starting to clean a few out but it's not even safe to go during the day. The trashy RVs, tents, etc and addicts with no effort to make them leave, even with plenty of open shelters. Taking up "residence" in the doorways of businesses... it's unlivable. Again, they're making some effort to fix it but it's going slow. I can't even begin to explain Portland. Just sad.
Casey you need a battery powered leaf blower and to clean off rollback and for accident site cleanup of debris and I have used it for years and my uncle's now use'em. For their own equipment too.
Quick on the fly thinking! I use a similar line myself... Don't let the truck outsmart you! Always fun seeing how others fix issues to keep working, great job to keep the flow going I'd say! Always good having backup to assist when needed, too... When they are good buddies to talk crap back and forth it's even better 😂
Btw thank you very much for all the work you do, and sharing getting more people out to help! Awesome stuff
RORY Irish would be proud of your trail fix. Nice work, Casy
HEY! Good morning Casey!
Wow, 37 vehicles….great job to all. And having a good friend like Jeremy and others involved, that fully understand the cost of volunteering as you have must really help. I hope I can find a like minded group here in my area to join!!
If you can't find 1 start 1 just remember picking up trash is the easy part and cleaning up public lands alot of landfills will waive the dumping fee for the project but with vehicles check with the local or state police about what has to be done before you can touch a vehicle some states are stricter than others
I agree that it is sad how the national forest is treated but what is also sad is that we have homeless people
All that carnage is just disgusting! Thank you and all your helpers for trying to put a dent in the mess. Just don't understand why they would trash everything like that.
I am really enjoying your channel. Helping that vet makes me feel good that there’s still people that do things like that. Keep up the good work! I would say Matt off road has some competition😅
You know the saying save the best for last! I am watching your video at 11:30 PM EST I save yours from all my notifications. Thank you
Amazing work Casey, and great job to everyone involved in this great clean up. It is truly sickening to see the mess those people are making and the fact that they just move on and leave all that trash. It is truly sad that they can't be made to be accountable for the mess they've left behind. Nature should be enjoyed by everyone and not destroyed by the few.
Thanks for cleaning up societies short comings Casey.
Good man 👍
Nailed it with a perfect description.
THANK YOU for cleaning off all the dirt and debris before going down the road with that junk. Over decades of driving, I've had to file multiple windshield replacement claims because of truck drivers who don't take the same pains with their loads.
Most of that would be nails and screws tire hazards unless you were following too close
@@davidwoermansr Every incident was debris bouncing off of trucks in the opposite lane of traffic heading the other direction, and the largest item was a rock the size of billiard ball. So, no, not "nails and screws and you were following too close", but thanks for your uneducated guess.
@@NorthernKitty I was talking about what would've fell off the frame of the burnt RV he was hauling not what happened to you in the past and you're welcome for the very educated knowledge of hauling those kind of things BTW I don't worry about cleaning them off whatever hangs on bouncing on the backroads should ride fine on the highway
Thanks Casey for sacrificing you body to the rain to give us a better view.
You do need the secondary tank. The extra air is used to keep your parking brake off in case you have to use your brakes a couple times. Without it your parking brake can apply while you are going down the highway. It is there for extra air volume.
Nice to have all those tools with you. Drove Ready mix for years and always had a tool box with me. Just pulled on a job fully loaded when the truck shut down, felt like a running out of fuel sort of thing. Since it had been in for service day prior, I checked clear fuel filter bowl and it was empty (O ring was bad). Managed to hook in and out lines together and bypass filter, bled all the injectors and got truck going. Job superintendent said he had never seen a mixer driver do that kind of repair. Pays having been a truck mechanic and helicopter mechanic for 20+ years.
I really like your clean-up videos. Now my kids want me to build a 4x4 and gin crane on my trailer. The local off-road club removes burned cars from the beach.
Try driving flat blade screwdriver into busted fitting then turn with crescent wrench
I'm sorry to learn that you had to go through that mechanical issue. I have noticed how skilled you are especially in addressing mechanical issues. I am confident that the challenge you are dealing with will soon be over.
Gosh what a hail of a day! But through it all Casey persevered. Thanks to all that worked so hard to clean up that mess. I just can't wrap my head around all that trash, how it's even possible. Homosapieans are truly the most filthy animals on the planet. Hope your truck is ok after that mess. Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you for cleaning up, others messes. If you can haul crap in, haul it out. If nothing else dump in a store dumpster rather then woods.
And that's just prep day.
It's pretty smart. This way you don't have all the volunteers moving around the large heavy equipment moving large heavy equipment.
But still, going and picking up all the detritus. Braver and stronger than I, but if I lived closer, I'd have to prove myself wrong.
Y'all are doing great things.
Excellent effort by everybody that helped. What I don't understand is how that was allowed to get that way in the first place. Public use is one thing but squatting is another.
It's AMAZING That So Many Come & Help For So Few In Comparison To DESTROY It For So Many Nor To Be Able To Use it At All, What A SHAME THAT IS
Also, thank you for working to clean up that crap. We have our own issues in Michigan, but not like yours.
For all viewers watching 10.12.24 will also be a cleanup day at Coyote Butte on China Hat rd so of Bend. Volunteers welcome. Come out and help others like Casey who Volunteer their time and effort. Make new friends!
GREAT JOB by EVERYONE ! ! ! ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Casey and all the other volunteers. I had been watching a video about the homeless problem in Portland and read a comment about all of Oregon was becoming a homeless camp. It is looking like that comment was accurate. I’m sorry that people are such pigs anymore. I have to pick up trash every time I take my SxS out on trails near where I live in Idaho.
It's more a homeless problem is "select" areas
@@george2113 Side by Side Utv. 50 inch wide machine. I help with trail maintenance in my area. And I pick up other peoples trash when I’m out exploring or doing maintenance.
It's a worldwide problem also pigs are really clean animals and the only way they'd live in that filth is if you built a fence around it and forced them to
This video shows the quality of people Casey associates with, friends show up and fix his truck as he's using the same truck to load a junk vehicle to get it out of the woods...good quality folks here. Central Oregon is in good hands.
I lived in Bend for 11 years through the 90’s and I don’t remember it ever being that bad in that area then. Pretty sad to see. Thank you for what you do and helping keeping it clean. Wish I live closer to come help with the clean up.
Maybe that’s a sign you need to add a front axle like Troy’s truck 😂
Good short fix, and you learned more about how your truck works.
Casey, the handle on a flat file,makes a good easy out for the little stuff.
Hey Casey, You need to take the wrecker up Hell's gate like Robby took his limo. Oh yeah, a big thank you from all of the drivers behind you for trashing your gloves and cleaning the frame off before you hit the road. You the Man!
Wow!! Definitely got a ton cleaned up in one day! 😎 Definitely time for a pressure washer after that haul! As always, thanks for sharing! Watchin from Maine 🇺🇸
I really appreciate your efforts to keep the area clean. Thank you and stay safe out there!
Hey Casey !! Take your ""Jack knife "" & widdle a wood plug from a tree limb to plug the tank !! Had to do that when the fuel line got broke off do to a retread blowout !! Anyhows ,, Great job you guys are doing out there to keep OR. clean !!🙃😉🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍
125psi says I'm not going to do that
@@CaseyLaDelle Well, If & when you get your tool boxes setup in the wrecker ,,,get a set of "EASYOUTS"" from Harbor freight !!
@Casey LaDelle I've done the "carve a wooden plug and hammer it in" routine. It's all a matter of how desperate you are. You weren't so much as proper help was on the way!
An allen wrench makes a great substitute for an easy out when you are in a bind. Pound the short side of the allen wrench in and then you have a the long side to use a handle for leverage. That trick was taught to me by an old farmer.
I had one of those drains blow apart going down the interstate, I had no brakes. Geared down and wheeled into the truck stop a little faster than I wanted to
Hey I’m glad you’re getting a power washer!
I love love love mine! Except for I practically rebuilt it last fall and because it turned cold so suddenly I couldn’t even get to all the jobs I had planned for it! Then yesterday I got it out and filled it up with gas and pulled it a few times and Pop the cord blew apart. Fortunately 2 strands were still holding on for dear life. So I pulled it apart and before I cut the strands I used a zip tie to go through the holes. Start on the outside, go in through the inside of your cord wheel over at least two of the ribs and back through your covers metal louvers line up the knot on the inside to the hole and secure it from the outside by tightening up the zip tie .
I got really lucky when mine came apart! I didn’t keep yanking the rope to get it to go back in!
If you have ever done this yank it all the way out, and it snaps, you are probably familiar with the sound of the coiled metal spring blowing up inside your small gas engines air cooling housing!
That’s another story entirely and you have a worse mess.
So once I threaded the new pull rope through the handle with a stop knot, I took the handle put it back together and then pushed the end of the rope right into the hole again tied it into a knot in the hole, put it all back together and Voila pulled it a couple of times and it started !!!
Bought it from a pawn shop, back in 2008 or so and it’s on its second pump now, and still working!!! With that rotary motion novel it takes rust and paint off, but it’s an old amazing Craftsman!
It has paid for itself multiple times over the years!!! Recycle Re-use Re-pourpose!!!😊
Well done Casey. Your truck sure takes a long load of junk.😊😊😊 you sure have wonderful friends.
Northern tool is where I recommend getting a pressure washer. Their warranty is well worth it, call and a guy who knows everything about it picks up.
A foam cannon is money well spent too!!
Its always nice when you have somone you can call. Keep up the Great work !!
Great public service work by the forest cleaning and you! Thank you.
Hey Casey , careful of the rocks with your rollback , you might break some , never mind 😖 . Thanks for the recommendation to Troy's channel , cool channel ( and yes , subbed )
It is really sad, that's beautiful country and to see all that mess is heartbreaking, I was always taught when camping to always leave it better then I found it!
So, Awesome that You and Crew are doing this. Thank You Everyone ! ! !
Wow great job you and all the volunteers have done and continue to do for our NF...thanks!!
I do not understand how the law enforcement, park rangers, both state and federal do not stop this from happening. I am surrounded by national forest in Virginia and this never happens. Thank you for working to clean it up.
It's Oregon's "Progressive" values and a result of legalizing drugs.
Hey Casey, another great treat. As an older (more mature) and lazy guy, I invested in the chain binders with the fittings that would let me tighten or loosen them with my Makita impact. A bit more expensive, but so much faster and easier.. Just an idea because I know you like to be efficient. Kepp up the good work.
Fucking. Garbage.
They are not easier or faster.
I was going to comment on how I’d fix that drain but then you did exactly what I would, only thing I could add. I us a propane soldering torch (always have one handy know, saved me more times than I can count) to melt whatever sealant is on the threads then the broken fitting usually comes out easy with a flathead screwdriver
Casey I support your channel by watching. This is not me bitching, but the really sad part about the homelessness. Is a society that leads up to so much homelessness. Keep up the good work.
So impressed by you guys that can handle big machinery and get big things done.
Well it's drained properly 😊
You can temporarily stop the bipping for low air pressure by holding at the same time panel light switch down and the little trip stick in the cluster for about 5-10seconds.
As long as the key is on you'll don't have to deal with the alarm.
In the works of getting my CDL. I’ve learned a ton watching you. Thank you for your videos Casey!
If I didn't live in the deep south 🥴 I would love to be out there helping clean up the NF. It makes my blood boil at how a few can make a beautiful place look like a dump! Thank you to everyone who comes to the rescue and works to keep the public land open for all to enjoy! I plan to visit nw in the future and explore the beautiful country.
As someone with relatives and roots in the deep south, I can tell you there are PLENTY of opportunities to help clean up dump sites in your neck of the woods. 😊 This isn't just a northwest thing.
@@NorthernKitty 🤣🤣🤣
I travel the lower 47 regularly and prefer rural camping over urban camping when I find public land I can get in and out of without breaking anything or scratching my ride (unless I'm in my 6x6 wrecker that old military paint takes alot to scratch) but wherever I shut down for the night I always wander around and fill at least 1 lawn and leaf bag full of trash to wind down my day and get some exercise I missed out on because I was traveling instead of in the shop I was taught young when fishing and hunting if you pack it in pack it out and always leave the land how you found it if not better these cleanup videos have that poor native American bawling instead of just 1 tear trickling down his cheek
Brilliant people ❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job on the cleanup!! Sorry you broke your truck! I think a pressure washer is a good idea. I'm surprised you didn't already have one with the messes you get into! 😆
It really sucks our government is not only allowing this to happen, but subsidizing it with our tax dollars. Thank you for helping clean up this mess!
Was that a Audit parked alongside the tarped over trailer. 21:21 It is great that you and the crew spend a weekend or more cleaning that mess. I would feel so guilty if I left any place I was camping in such a mess. But I'm not in their shoes and don't know just how bad thier lives are to have to live in the wood. With rent skyrocketing though out the country, its sad to say that you guys will be seeing more and more.
Brilliant man ❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely thank you for what you are doing in the woods and your crew
My faith in humanity is low. You guys just brought it up. Thank you
Thanks for teaching me something new and how to spin those doggone binders out
The old original seers craftsman screwdrivers with the clear handle with the red and blue paint on the ridges make really good chisels especially after you broke the tips off using the screwdriver for things they were meant to be used for. Hit me up next time you’re in Portland I got a whole drawer full of easy outs and stud removal power tools that I no longer use
won't allways work but a wood plug made from a tree branch and driven into the broken fitting will hold a lot more pressure than one would think, just don't waste time trying it on a hydrylic fitting.
Thumbs up, great video, thanks for the ride along,That spring weather in Bend is always unpredictable
Fantastic that you and the others volunteer to help with these cleanups. As I have seen several of your videos with these efforts. Curious of how to prevent the re-occurrence of this?
Great Job to all the hard workers, every one should keep pack out what you take in
😐
Pack out MORE than you packed in ... that's my Motto, what's the Motto with you?
This homeless situation sickens me. I witnessed a situation in Branson Mo last year, inside of the city limits, that wasn’t on this magnitude but really made me mad. This was on private land that belongs to an organization named Elevate whose primary mission was to rehab homeless people. They lived on this property and after the organization moved them on they left plies of trash right out on the city street and strewn throughout the property. Sickening!
A set of torx bits is a must have in situations like this, find one a little bigger than the hole in the fitting, tap it in with the hammer.
Look at the bright side Casey, when you sheared that bleeder valve you purged all of the accumulated oil build up in the tank and didn't end up wearing any of it. Ask me how I know. 🤔 thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸👍
God bless you and all the folks involved in the clean up. Awesome work! Thank you!
Casey, when I drove truck I always carried copper tubing ( less than a foot ), rubber hose, hose clamps, and pipe fittings that all would fit any part of the air system. They don't take up much room but can save your a** when broke down even if an illegal repair just to get you rolling again so you can make a proper repair later. Keep'em rolling... you 're doing great!
I have lived here for 20 years, less than a mile probably from this shit. I can't believe how bad it is getting. I don't even go into the forest anymore its just sad and disgusting. Thanks for cleaning it up!, I'm sure it will look the same again in 3 months though :(
You can always whittle a stick and plug the hole with until you get to where you could repair it. Had to do that to air up a tractor trailer to tow it.when the drive shaft came out and knocked a fitting off the air tank.
LoL! I knew you weren't going to get that out on that first attempt. Sometimes you can pound an allen wrench in it. The screw driver attempt was impressive. It would have worked if you had the exact right size. I've owned cars that I needed a Snap-On tool truck following me around to keep it on the road!
yep... i burn everything and then come back and haul the rest off for recycling. those 'eviction areas' are terrible, just completely filled with biohazards and fire is the best cleanser.
Casey u r the most versatile recovery guy with ur big rig!! 😊😊. Love watchin ur videos ❤❤ keep at it❤❤❤
