Thank you!
The Squirrel was just looking for lug nuts also 🐿
Don't you mean Nuts to Lug (away) >GRIN
Your my favorite to watch on heavy d channel. Long live the wizard! God speed to you on completing your mountain fortress.
Can you build a screen table to separate the dirt from the stuff you want? Then, you can just shovel larger amounts of material AND locate your parts. Love your vids Alan, keep up the good work.
Same idea that made the long, lonely, dry trek across my mind.....
C'mon, this is Alan he likes to do things the hard way. 😃
Some sort of magnetized grizzly bars would be neat.
I was thinking the same but with a magnetic at the side but I didn't know where to get a big one.
Thinking the same
God bless you Alan
See how those stud nuts have turned blue?
That's indicative that they're steel nuts that have been chromed, but with a copper plating under the chrome plate. You see it a lot on chrome bike exhaust pipes. Steel generally only has a layer of nickel plating before being flashed with chrome, but if the polished finish wasn't good enough, and for a few other reasons, sometimes a layer of copper is applied before chrome plating. This is the reason they turn blue once heated.
But stainless also turns blue if it gets hot right?
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch I love seeing the progress and your personality makes it so unique
You are pure. So rare these days. You will succeed.
Another great video by the Wizard ❤️
I’m looking for a 1955 Chevy 2or4 door roller car ,and or a one of those white water trucks you have , or one somewhere maybe, Thanks for the vlog , that tank vlog ver on Dave’s channel was crazy , lol thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
I feel terrible for you! I couldn’t imagine going through a fire disaster, let alone a few! Geez! But, you seem to have a good attitude about it, and that combined with your work ethic makes you a pretty admirable fella! Keep your head up and keep trucking on strong! 🤘🏼😎
It also helps to have a support system and friends like Heavy D Sparks. I know their help bolstered him through this.
@@andorfedra absolutely! I couldn’t imagine going through something like that alone.
Nice little flash flood! We got that same storm and it was crazy!
Wow those are heavy dark clouds….that’s a storm!!
Great to see forward movement man!! I do love your collection of rigs!
Great video Alan i really love your mtn fortress lab and land you own
Vary sweet indeed. Nice 👍 on getting your place back in shape again. Like you said it will take awhile for to come back. Sweet.
HeavyD is just going to have to give you one of them there fancy pickup trucks. You’ve earned one.
You should really looking into rain water collection for the roofs up there on the mountain that empty out into water tanks. That way you won’t have to worry about trekking water up the mountain all the time.
That is a fantastic idea, and I believe I have seen a few barrels kicking around on his property somewhere.
Granted the water may be questionable for drinking but, it would be good for fire suppression as well water the plants and construction projects. Being that remote and high up the likelihood of a lightening strike is possible. I would also build a lightening rod system that discharges into the ground to ground it, would help control the likelihood of another fire by lightening.
Get yourself a strong magnet to clear some of the smaller metal stuff
Mopower Al you got some of the nicest stuff. Thanks
you need a magnet sweeper it would make that cleanup so much easier
The m880 brackets may be hard to come by... but they look super easy to replicate.
Wow Allen! I admire your determination in all the adversity you have endured. Much peace, love and Good Vibes coming your way from Costa Rica!
Get dave to find a loaned scrap yard magnet on a weekend when they arent open
Uploading this late? A wizard with endless energy. *We just had a house for and lost a bathroom. Glad you didn't lose more. Just saw a video from our son and his family in Cedar yesterday, that was a CRAZY storm!
That rain was crazy this afternoon, supposed to be worse tomorrow. Was watching the lightning over your property earlier. If you want some help with anything let me know.
I fin you fascinating!! Thank so much for sharing what you do out there. I love the dessert but don’t get out there much. I love seeing the weather and your projects. 🙌❤️👍
Drove through that storm myself on the 10th of Aug from Rowley to Tooele, right past the Mountain Fortress. It was coming down a good storm. Much needed for this area.
Did you have insurance on the property or are you like me own your own , lol thanks BigAl California.
Kinda crazy that you and Cerro Gordo both had fires and now have both had unusual rain afterwards
I miss those monsoons!
i live in north east england, we get downpours in Summer, lots of heat = some big weather
He needs a magnet fishing magnet 360%, to pick every bit....lol...? Stay safe!!
I love your videos hope everything turns out for ya
You are one incredibly motivated man. I pray you get many years to enjoy your completed fortress.
At some point in the build I would love to hear your plans for lightning mitigation. How do you protect a mountaintop? You do amazing work!
Your Place reminds me of my Buddies Place in Nevada we were in Cambodia, and he was the rescue pilot. He got shot twice getting us off a Mountain and I flew the Huey back into Vietnam. I was enlisted. He had a big barn next to his Concrete House he would not let anyone in. When I came to visit, He took me in the Barn and Kiss my Butt if there was not a Huey ready to fly and totally Rebuilt under the Radar. His nick name is Wizard. It took him 15 Years to rebuild it and he said Let's tow it out and Go Flying on his property. He put me in the right seat and said let's fly out of Cambodia Again. Let's reenact that again. He said Do it or die. He fired it up got the blades up to speed and said Let's Go now. I pulled the Collective and up we went and flew 2 hours over his property. No registration, no license, no airworthiness certificate no insurance no nothing. I have an ATP bla bla license for about everything but no Rotary Wing endorsement. The FAA is still looking for that UFO it is Green and had US Army Markings on it and was in Perfect condition. He said when I landed it Check that off the Bucket List. I never asked where he got all those parts to Build an exact model of the one, I flew while he was wounded. The Pilot was killed that is why I flew it out of a fire fight at 18 years old 28 April 1970. I was a 10th grade dropout back then. Geez he Blew my Mind. How I did it I do not know. He is 74 I am 70. Very True Story. Bucket List Check. He has a $500,000 Perfect Huey with a Bill of sale for Salvage. He is a A&I and has a Valid A&I License for Rotary Wings and Jet Engines. He just usually does Annuals and Engine Rebuilds in the Other Barn on Twins and Single Engines as a Hobby. Never in my life would I have ever expected that to Happen. He built a Huey out of scrap with Logbooks on Everything. He is a retired Army Aviator CW-4.
i would use some of the longer metal pieces to put lightening rods round the structure just incase of sudden bad weather while youre up there, was going to say wouldnt a small electromagnet on a rearmounted pulley system sort of thing to grab and drop on the truckbed ...
I enjoy going to hardware stores and learning what there is out there for doing and fixing, lol. My boys don’t get it that I am so interested in such things being that I’m a small woman and finally accept that I might have learned something they didn’t research. 🤗👍🏼
Allen you are a wild man. Hope the rest of your day went well.
Only wizards can hear lightning 😯🤫🤣
Home Depot sells magnets to pick up jobsite nails. Them or some other place may have something a bit larger.
The squirrels may be looking for the toasted bugs. LOL
Would be nice if David would Steal Alan mini Excavater an Service the crap out of it
Hail the almighty Wizard❤️ love your channel loads Allan ❤️
rent a skid steer, build a sifter and call it a day! make quick work of that mayhem!
Got a box spring for bed, makeshift drag for ur burn area.
Got an idea for you Allen, build a screening area to and sift through the dirt and see what you could find. I'd probably use half inch screen, might help finding some of the smaller things.
I have a army truck 4 you
what kind?

Alan, how is the tree?... its still alive?.......Here in Texas, we call that rain a turd floater....Its coming down hard....Glad you got out of there.....Was looking bad...................JB.
Definitely try to divert that water from your road before it gets bad
Alan, I'm surprised you don't have one of those scrap yard magnets to attach to your excavator.
That and a gravel pit screen would be your best friends through this.
Hi From Denmark...
I was about to say you need a giant magnet lol
Love the vids! Keep it up
Lightning
It is aka Dielectricity, and aka Magnetism, it's "free" energy, energy released as fields collapse, thunder cloud bursting is the field collapsing.
Static [static energy] is dielectricity too.
Point source energy, it's why we capped our pyramids with gold, to try to harness mother nature's energy. Universe is fields, magnetic fields, not particle wave.
Way over my pay grade, I just plug stuff in an outlet. LOL😃
Oh Alan how I was praying for you and your little Nissan to make it out safe! I pray you made it home also! I hope the mountain road holds up and doesn’t wash out bad!
I love your videos of the Myn. Fortress and the fact that you are so real!! Keep on keeping on being you! I love your spirit and your tenacity..Nothing will stop you from completing your dream!
We sure could use some of that rain here!!
God bless you and keep you safe during these most extraordinary times. ❤️🙏
PS. 1 hour later: Glory hallelujah it just started raining here also!! Thank you God! Thank you!!
Might want to keep an eye out for a fairly new jeep Rubicon transfer case with the 72 to 1 crawling gear low range to see if you could get it into one of your dodge 4x4 pickups to handle loads on the driveway to the top.
Squirrels? Where is the closest tree? What are they eating there? Weird!
Slow but sure. It takes time. Keep after it.
Alan my MtnFortressKing. You Rock your videos are awesome love them Brother. Fire, Flood and Squirrels WTH!!!! Stay safe and keep the Sparks Motors crew straight and in line cause they kinda crazy!!! Can't wait to the the MtnFortressLab a place where you live and keep up all the crazy experiments and searches for truth.
That squirl is helping you comb through the ruble so you could help it find it's hidden nut piles :D
you need a truck xD. you are awesome man, keep up the good work.
God is testing you my friend.
Be Safe and God Bless You Brother 🙏 ❤️
Buy some magnetic bars at Harbor Freight and bolt them to each other. They are 18" long and should make quick work of the small stuff you are looking for. Amazon might have some too. Fixing the excavator would make things go quicker, so a couple hours would be worth it.
God bless you brother, I wish I could lend a hand with stuff up on your mtn top. I don't need to get paid. Just a vacation from my day job. Pay it forward to you. God knows that you're always giving your all to everyone in your life and job with the Dave's and the guys. Great entertainment 👌. Stay safe brother
From one hoarder to another i have come to a point in life that i realize time is more valuable than a lot of the " stuff" that I saved. You can never find it when you need it. Its cheap to fabricate a replacement and I don't have to take up space to store it. But time is the biggest issue. How much of my life do I want to spend trying to save a buck or special lugnuts that no one will ever care about when you are gone from this planet. Build the castle ! Build one cool military truck ! Build another one ! You are a hard worker and smart but you are. Not getting younger. Keep making videos and doing what you do. My opinion is like a ashore but life is short! How much of it do you want tonspend salvaging ! How much do you want to spend creating ? go create!!!!!! Every wizard needs his castle !!
Just fix the excavator already. You need it, it makes your life easier and now you just keep delaying it and making the current task unnecessary harder.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride in the rain! Here at 79.2K Subscribers.
Sorry about what happened to you .Why not make a screen and throw shovels of the dirt through screen over wheelbarrow .Then separate.
I was going to suggest a magnet. I ordered one from Amazon. Its the ones they use to magnet fish off bridges and in canals. I highly recommend.
I wish I lived closer to you, I would like to join forces and assist you in ways of clean living
Man I’m pulling for you, but as slow as this project is going, your body is going to break down before you spend a single day out there. Can you not pay people to help you? I get your put in the hours but you’re not getting any progress done
I don't want to be that guy, but you should really wear your seatbelt. Especially in that kind of weather. I know too many that haven't made it, that would have if they had a seatbelt on.
What I appreciate most about this content is that it's not as staged and dramatic as Dave Sparks. I've really soured of the staged content that he offers, but I am very happy that I found your content.
😂😂😂 bro made one giveaway video and your salty
the whole world is rigged 🤷♂️
I call that treasure hunting, I had to do that when my barn burned. I had a magnet to use it was a great help. You can pick up a long handled magnet at the parts store.
tu es vraiment plus fou 🤪🤪 que moi j adore double likes 💗💗
id rent a powerscreen with magnet or a excavator mounted magnet for cleaning up that , id sort it after its all out of the ground
Allan always something 🙄 drive safe.
I think God is trying to tell you to wash your hands of the junk and be done with it n focus on the house before all that cement gets ruined
thats crazy you got an unusual heavy rain and cerro gordo had so much rain it washed the road out a few days ago
gods telling you to get rid of the junk yard and the dump. and use the money to finish that house.
In the next shop, store grease and oil in a separated shed so if it catches fire only that shed burns
First
I just love your fortress, one day I’ll make it up there . I went to cerro gordo last summer for 3 days rite after the footings were poured on the American hotel . It’s awesome all the help Dave is giving Brent . Some people don’t like him but all the good he does & being successful, I can definitely overlook alittle arrogance. Take care Allen ! ( the mad man ) lol
Bit wet mate 🤣🤣love your channel 👍
Glad progress is happening for you Alan.
It's right hand drive Chevy cab over flat bed
Wizards can hear lightning and bring thing the thunder
A table screen is an excellent idea. Dave Jones is right it would help find more of the small stuff. Archeologist use them to find small stuff all the time.
Man your always so positive about every situation. Truly an incredible inspiration to those of us that struggle with the little stuff
Alan I'm pretty sure that you have an old junk speaker in one of those vehicles and you can use it for the magnate to pick up most of the small metals and put them into a pile on the place then you can sort it out afterwards too that's what I used to use for stuff like that myself now and I've seen the video of you guys out there and it was awesome watch it too have a good day
For that matter, He can take 3-4 of them and attach them to a frame and make bigger passes.
Clean it up Allen, the parts in there are not worth saving. The YT revenue you can get for making headway and showing your progress is worth more than the parts you lost to the fire.
You need a team up there. The mountain needs some greenery.
Keep up your hard work man your an inspiration for those of us who just started back to working! Keep your head up you have support here in Oklahoma my man!
You probably need to get some drainage on those roads pal.
we have to get a look at the new mt road and how it held up to all this rain
It is so awesome to see what you have accomplished on your mountain. The squirrel may be planting seeds from trees or bushes from around your property. God bless you and keep you safe on your endeavors.
That squirrel moment was totally wizard
Dude 😀 you're pure class!!...........................have you ever thought of building a giant electro magnet ? i bet there's a tutorial on YT 🙂 hang it off the back of the 331 ?
cool video, keep them coming brother
