Yeah I hit up Jeff and asked if he spoke to you and said that you got just about the same amount of rain and wind as he did glad y'all are safe and back to work
Sometimes, even when its dry, the pile of limbs, it acts like it don't want to start burning, other times, all you have to do is throw a match on it and its gone. Wish y'all would send us some of that rain down here in Alabama. We are very, very dry. Know thanks to Ian, it sucked all the moisture from our area, plus the other storm, Fiona. You are a person who knows the value of work, and you get more accomplished in a single day than most companies that have huge crews that do the work. Stay safe! Hope you get to feeling better.
I worked for a cattle and row crop farmer for 10 years after we sold out our dairy business. He had around 15 acres cleared on one of his farms and had it all pushed into one burn pile that was at least 100 yards long. He sent me out to set it on fire one day. A few days later I went back to check on it and the whole pile had burned up. The brush was very dry but I only set the pile of fire in one place on the end that the wind was blowing from. The wind was blowing straight down the brush pile. I was shocked at how well it had burned.
Its funny to read all the comments telling Chris to use a leaf blower to start his fires. Us long time watchers know that he's used that ol method many times on past fires.
Well sir, from the look of it, I think you’re going to win. Heat is the key I would guess, the more heat, the faster the dry out, the nicer the burn. I think you’re working on a one match fire(s). Thanks for the ride along sir.
As hard as you've been going at it all summer it's no wonder you're feeling a bit under the weather Chris. Take a day and get some rest and hopefully you will get to feeling better quickly. Glad y'all didn't get hammered by Ian. Hurricanes are not fun.
Your work ethic is top notch, enjoy watching your videos practically daily. A few days to recoop, keep it real. We all feel run down and under the weather occasionally. Glad for no significant damage from storm in your area, feel so sorry for those effected in Florida and South Carolina.
Love watching you burn. Your videos are so much fun to watch and I appreciate how pretty NC is when you show those panoramic drone views. Take care my friend. Taking a day off is actually okay, you aren't a slacker. Feel better, Chris.
Did you know your tire is... your breaks are... your squeaky tracks have... your videos are really well edited and fun to watch and lastly did you know I appreciate your time and effort thanks👍
Not trying to fight dude but during one of the videos Chris carefully explained how he works for his uncle several days a week and the rest are his own business that he has created.
@@johnmac7523 ok dude, I usually only watch when he doing something other than ponds an loading mud or dirt removing trees. My 15yr old son does those jobs for me.
You need the XL18 Flamethrower with the Pyro Package Upgrade, includes CO2 Regulator, medium Napalm Mix, and 2 extra CO2 tanks. Designed to launch flames over 100ft.
Hell, I'm glad that's all you guys got was some rain and wind off the hurricane !! Don't worry about it Man, Everybody has a bad day every once in awhile, Hell , and the way you push yourself 7 days a week most of the time , you deserve a day or two off to recharge !! That shit will catch up with ya Man !! lolol... Atleast that will burn on down , and you can restack it and get it fired back up and get rid of the rest... Hope you do get to feeling better , may be all you need is to kick back a day and just chill with ya toes up and watch a good football game today or something !! lolol... But, Great as always Chris !! have a Great Evening Man, and, On too the Next !!
Another great video , hope you feel better soon Chris . Boy those burn piles sure look different from the air , very organised , would not expect any less from Chris and another organised and entertaining video , thank you.
So glad that you were not hit with the brunt of the hurricane. Nice to have the rain so you could burn, too bad the material wasn't more dry. Hope you feel better. Rest and vitamin C is the best thing. Take care and thanks very much for sharing.
Silly question but how and what do you do if the fire gets out of control? In this case everything was wet in the area but I think I would worry about leaving it unattended over night? Funny how watching you work is so entertaining even if it is just burning a brush pile.
If that were my job, I’d probably get fired the first day. I’d be bragging about how much diesel and Kingsford I used. Yep boys, used the entire transfer tank on that pile. Lol, good to know someone more responsible than myself is on the job.
You can mitigate the squeaks to a degree by spraying them with a mixture of 50/50 desiel and used oil. We used a hand pump pressure sprayer regularly on my grandfathers old cable operated dozer in the mid 70's with great success. EPA might throw a hissy fit today though.
One can judge how Chris is feeling ,it show through the Excavator, remember to fuel up yourself Chris ,R & R . Would waste cooking oil help with getting a fire going ? Still imagining a flame thrower attached to the bucket ,fire breathing beast
Sinus crud going around these parts. My mother-in-law had it and now i do...nose runnin' like a faucet, post nasal drip and feel like bird poop in general. Hope you get better soon Chris.
I'm wondering if my large fire starters that i do make would be helpful during this kind of burn? When the fire does not take off as you thought it would. I have tested them and they work very well on staying lit and burn for about an hour or more. Anyway I hope your feeling better Chris and all is well with you and your family. Say how does your Ponds look? Keep up the great work on the videos.
Those days of low ambition and energy are the worst - against one's nature. Good rain always needed. Burns did OK although possibly not enough for a self confessed pyromaniac 🙂
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸evening Chris, we surely did get lucky. Sorry to hear ur no feeling well, & ur right 2 rain, sitting a day makes y’a find that comfy spot 2 home way quicker especially on a 🌧 day. Be safe, blessings to u & urs
Oxygen. The more oxygen you can get to draw in low, the better. I would put more of the big logs stacked at base so there is more air space/voids and not smother the bottom with the small fines as much, think less dense and fluffy. Fire barrels work best with holes cut in the bottoms to allow up draft of air. It also usually creates less smoke, depending on what you are burning of course. But I understand not wanting a raging inferno, so it is a delicate balance. Hope you get to feeling better.
I’m just curious. Do you have to report to anyone? Like the Fire department or Sheriff when you burn? Here in Ohio the county I’m in we call the Sheriffs department and let them know. Just in case someone calls it in.
Sorry that you don't feel real well there my friend but that's what those long hours do to you it saps all of your energy trust me I know it makes an old man out of you fast
Late start, power nap, and not working all day/evening...you need to go to the doctor ASAP!! and you uploaded a video for us!! Curl up with Winston on the couch and watch a good movie and rest!! You have been going non-stop all summer. Feel better soon
Chris I think your atmospheric pressure is off. Time to go indoors and chill with Winston and his pals. Throw back a bowl of potato or chicken noodle soup and get a good nights sleep. Take care of yourself. Always love your aerial shots.
Remember it may be muddy,not dry enough on the brush,weather so so,but you haven’t run into any Karen’s yet.so that’s a positive outlook.keep on doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
You've been burning the candle at both ends for a while ,,, about time to load the family in the Wagon Queen Family Truckster and head to Walley World for some R&R .
It's a real thing that, when you're going going going, and then you stop... that's when you will often get sick, and/or your motivation will crash. As long as you're going, your body and mind thinks it needs to stay active. But as soon as you stop, it goes into rest/recover mode. That's why even though bike racers in a 21 day race like Tour of France are killing themselves, many of them will still ride on the day off. Otherwise, many guys will fall apart and have to quit.
You will get it ,you have not failed yet.this reminded me of the time that they were rushing me on an oil field location and had to burn the debris. I stopped by the supermarket one morning to get my lunch and saw match light char coal had just came out. Guess what I did and it worked. Good luck 👍

Those lil 30 minute power naps are life savers sometimes. I have a great appreciation for them. 😂
Chris does not feel well but he still takes the time and effort to make another video for our entertainment. Much appreciated Chris.
Indeed
I thought he sounded off colour
These streams allows him to be a "good guy" to the folks local to him. All around good guy
Yeah I hit up Jeff and asked if he spoke to you and said that you got just about the same amount of rain and wind as he did glad y'all are safe and back to work
Chris that’s a pretty good fire for it being so wet, hope you get to feeling better.
Love the videos and glad you are safe from the hurricane. As always keep up the great work!!

Chris hope you feel better. The piles are looking more like a DirtPerfect fire than your usual one🫣. We will see you back Monday👍
That Squeaky-Squeak only makes your Excavator sound like a Tank coming through the Woods.
Its funny to read all the comments telling Chris to use a leaf blower to start his fires. Us long time watchers know that he's used that ol method many times on past fires.
Right on brother! Seems to be a lot of fire starting experts all of a sudden!!!
Between the wood being very green, densely packed and the mud a leaf blower would as effective as emptying a full size swimming pool with a bucket.
The burning has begun. Thanks for the, video even when you aren’t feeling the best😊 Rest up mate & hope you feel better soon. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Are you SERIOUSLY picking up tiny pieces of kindling with a 60,000 pound excavator? Been watching for a long time. You continue to amaze.

Did you know
your tire is...
your breaks are...
your squeaky tracks have...
your videos are really well edited and fun to watch
and lastly
did you know I appreciate your time and effort thanks👍
Not your typical LD18 bonfires…but still gets the job done! Hope you’re feeling better Chris. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see that you were able to get back to work and your family is safe
I thought I smelled smoke today!!
Hope you feel better Thanks for this video
as much as I like watching storms, its good to hear people and property are mostly good.
Your health and well being are first - I believe everyone would agree.
Arrival time, work load, and videos TBD... after all, YOU'RE THE BOSS!
His Uncle is the Boss

Sorry 😞 you don’t feel well. Sometimes you have to take a break.
Mr Chris, has anyone told you that your work ethic is infectious…
TODAY IS TH DAY! LET THE BURNING COMMENCE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just sitting on the couch watching some relaxing videos lol still recovering from Fiona glad you made out good
How many people think Chris would be an extremely happy person if he could build fires every day? It is obviously his favorite thing to do!
Took awhile but you got the fires burning. Always enjoy the weekend burning videos!
Glad your ok
Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching
Thanks Chris . It’s not good working when you are off colour, get well soon. 🥃🥃☺️
Take a day and rest you deserve it, and your health needs it. :) Thank you for the video and have an awesome day.
So much work to do and only one guy to do it right. Hope you get to feeling better. I hate to work while I'm not feeling well.
1) good see another Let's Dig18 video & 2) good to see the destruction from IAN didn't make it into North Carolina.
Another Great Video Chris, sorry you don't feel well, your fires are always the best.

Do you think a Little Wonder (or equivalent) power leaf blower would help?
Use a leaf blower on the fire. It will really get it burning when you pump all that air in.
Thank you..👍 Glad you weathered the storm !
The drone video is amazing!
So glad that you were not hit with the brunt of the hurricane. Nice to have the rain so you could burn, too bad the material wasn't more dry. Hope you feel better. Rest and vitamin C is the best thing. Take care and thanks very much for sharing.
Glad you made it thru the storm that way! We got 4 inches of rain this way in NC! How much yall get!?

Chris your next for a Thunder Creek trailer. It would suit you just fine I think.
I was thinking, "No blazing fat lighter stumps to race from one pile to the next." Then Chris says it.
Bless u for blessing us, luvvvvv the video. Thankful ur area evated the hurricane. Feel better!!! God's blessings and take care of yourself.
One can judge how Chris is feeling ,it show through the Excavator, remember to fuel up yourself Chris ,R & R .
Would waste cooking oil help with getting a fire going ?
Still imagining a flame thrower attached to the bucket ,fire breathing beast
You haven't had a Fire Marshall Karen in awhile.. UR about due fer another 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
Take care of yourself that comes first. Finally got a fire going which was good. Good thing there was a much damage done. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🌲🔥
Chris, we all have had those feeling of " dont want to b here ". But it's worth u setting another burn pile to watch tho slow start..
The fires are fun to watch.. but more fun when you can enjoy making them reach for the sky... Hope you're feeling better soon.
Sinus crud going around these parts. My mother-in-law had it and now i do...nose runnin' like a faucet, post nasal drip and feel like bird poop in general. Hope you get better soon Chris.
Chris could huff and puff and get the air circulating better to burn with. Nice video' keep, it smoking.
I'm wondering if my large fire starters that i do make would be helpful during this kind of burn? When the fire does not take off as you thought it would. I have tested them and they work very well on staying lit and burn for about an hour or more. Anyway I hope your feeling better Chris and all is well with you and your family.

Keep up the great work on the videos.
Thanks for the update. Great video 👍 👍
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy feel better soon 😎👊🏻👍🏻 that was a cool noise at 2:15 😎
Looks like the fires took the damper off a down day... Thanks for this one, it was a hoot!!
Those days of low ambition and energy are the worst - against one's nature. Good rain always needed. Burns did OK although possibly not enough for a self confessed pyromaniac 🙂

Watching you work through the fir piles . It like the extension of your arm
..'twas tym for a bigass fire...lol..good one, keep safe and well...
Your not turning into a slacker are you? Lol! I always enjoy your videos.
Great video thanks Chris

i get a burn permit from the forestry service
Glad you'se are all ok Chris.
exactly what i was thinkin get some air to it, mud is money, love the way you park your equipment , if your going back your on foot
I am very glad to see that you survived the storm. Did you ever find out what happened with the D6?
At least you're not having to use a mud squeegee, or stumping!
Sorry that you don't feel real well there my friend but that's what those long hours do to you it saps all of your energy trust me I know it makes an old man out of you fast
Can not wait to get back out this week…hopefully it won’t be as muddy as it was on Friday.
A leaf blower with jump start a brush pile like that one also.
Late start, power nap, and not working all day/evening...you need to go to the doctor ASAP!! and you uploaded a video for us!! Curl up with Winston on the couch and watch a good movie and rest!! You have been going non-stop all summer. Feel better soon
where's the leaf blower, you had the diesel 😂just needed a little extra
Enjoy all your videos thanx Chris
Chris if your not feeling well Take Break .
Fine job sir. Hope you feel better. Thanks for the ride.
Chris I think your atmospheric pressure is off. Time to go indoors and chill with Winston and his pals. Throw back a bowl of potato or chicken noodle soup and get a good nights sleep. Take care of yourself. Always love your aerial shots.
Your love for "moving dirt" is only exceeded by your pyromania.
For some reason, seeing the fuel and stuff in the bucket tickled my funny bone 🙂
Remember it may be muddy,not dry enough on the brush,weather so so,but you haven’t run into any Karen’s yet.so that’s a positive outlook.keep on doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thank you for Thanking of us. Clearing is looking GREAT 👍.
Hope you feel better Chris!
For reference, how tall is it from the top of the cab of that machine to the ground? Always fun to watch giant controlled fires. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
You've been burning the candle at both ends for a while ,,, about time to load the family in the Wagon Queen Family Truckster and head to Walley World for some R&R .
First video in a long time to see letsdig18 struggle to get a fire started. Usually they are infernos.
Super Chris love burning an awful lot lol 🙂
Looks very muddy where you able to get the piles to burn?
It's a real thing that, when you're going going going, and then you stop... that's when you will often get sick, and/or your motivation will crash.

Have you ever watch a TH-cam video on how much harm they are doing to their bodies in that races, it is ugly.
Get well Chris!
You know the space station is going to be disappointed in you if it's not a huge fire
Property is coming along very well Chris 👍👍😎
Burn Baby Burn - 2 Burn Piles going ! Great Drone Fly over ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
