Hey Guys, there are lots of scammers in the comments section pretending to be me. Any comment with a Telegram number or any comment saying you've won something and to message them is a SCAM! Please don't respond to or message these scammers, just report their profile to youtube as SPAM.
I'm glad I reached out to your chat on your website. I didn't give them any info that isn't public record. I am not easily scammed, but they were very convincing.
All i know is i have been told i won something b4 but that is not the point u guys are amazing ppl your whole crew out there just trying to make a difference helping is the only way to healing others
I hope you guys are reaping the rewards for all your effort. I started watching a few weeks ago, concerned about the water level. I live right next to the Mississippi River but I still worry about y'all. I drive a tanker 18 wheeler so if worse comes to worse I'll bring y'all some water 😜.
I recently started following Sin City Outdoors and this is why I am here now. You and your crew are incredible individuals who have brought some badly needed good news and warmth into our world. Thank you for bringing a tear to my eye and restoring my faith in the joy people can bring to others! I can't even imagine how Craig feels! I am now a subscriber! Love to all from Karen in Ontario, Canada!
I can't believe the authorities were quick to salvage his boat yet there's endless amounts of smaller boats just sitting all around for months they didn't clean up. So happy you were able to help him
That's because the authorities wanted Craig's boat off the lake permanently. They thought they finally had their chance to get rid of Craig and his boat. But they didn't count on the kindness of strangers to give Craig the help he so desperately needed.
being an old retired dude on a fixed income myself and seeing what all you guys did for this gentleman just tugs at my heartstrings. far too often it seems people just don't care about someone stuck in a situation like that (no pun intended) but you guys are awesome. keep up the good work.
What I admire about you and your whole team, you never give up on any rescue and or recovery. The fact that you said “ if I break it, I will buy him a new one “ no other recovery team would do that. If fact, they wanted money and all’s you wanted was a THANK YOU.
Brother... very few companies have the expendable funds to do work for free. These guys have good extra income from youtube and other buisness other than recovery.
@@TheWasher18 The part is, they don’t have to do what they do. But they do do it out of the kindness of there HEARTS. But what I’m trying to say is, look at all the other millionaires out there not willing to help. That’s all. Just a little kindness goes a long way.
Watched you guys do this on Sin City Outdoors, and just wanted to say what an awesome rescue. Not just the boat, but you rescued a mans life. Hats off to you guys !
I love this statement and it IS a statement! You guys make me tear up every time I get to watch these recoveries! LEGENDS, I say…LEGENDS! ❤ By chance did you happen to get him any groceries? Looks like he could use a few 😟
I just want to say, Heavy D, you gave the people what they wanted, I have never clicked on a video faster than this one. I love that you take on any challenge, and you have whatever vehicle to recover it with. This is why you have subscribers, and this is why we keep coming back for more. I live in Arizona so this one hit home for me. Keep doing gods work.
I really just cant get enough of this. Ive never seen a video like this with the pure will and determination to help a fellow man. I love the recovery vids but this hit so different. With all the bad shit going on 24/7 in this world it made me feel so good to know that mans home was saved. Its so damn hard for alot of us these days with fuel and inflation but he seems like he doesnt have alot or is maybe down on his luck a little more so to see the absolute heart felt joy on his face made me tear up. Sin City is new to me with only watching 3 or 4 vids but if you cant tell how great and respectful these guys are then your blind. Huge shout out to Sr and Jr and Heavy D on making this happen. Love it love it love it!!!!!!!!
I cried when the boat finally hit the water. You guys are amazing. My bf used to tow in the everglades, and now we live in N Florida woods. He is constantly having to pull the neighbors tractors and excavators out of the swamps and I get to cover him for the snakes which are enormously plentiful. People who have never been there don't understand how satisfying this kind of help can be for people, but what you guys did saved this guys life, literally. Ty 😊
I originally saw this houseboat on Sin City Outdoors after seeing his previous videos on fishing/living and lake level dropping. When they said "If there's anyone who can help them out, let us know" - I thought of y'all immediately. I'm not surprised to see this come to fruition. Two great channels and hope for humanity.
I said the same thing! Thank God they came to his rescue! And what made me love these guys even more is when Heavy D said, “if I break his boat in half I will buy him a new one”….what a wonderful human!!
I just came across this video! I am so impressed! You and your crew are the best examples of all American MEN. I am so glad you did a video. I am an elderly woman and to see you do this warms my heart. I was cheering in my living room for you all. Time for a beer! The old man was so happy. Restored his faith. Be Bless and be safe.
Life can go off the rails in the blink of an eye. You did way more than help someone out, you brought a nightmare to an end and did so with humility. Hats off to you with deepest respect, and best wishes to Craig for smooth sailing.
Let's all appreciate that this man got tons of messages to go help and didn't just say "you guys can't tell me what to do" and instead thought about it and went to help on his own dime and on top of that, he made it into a wholesome memory for his son. These are the kind of men we should be idolizing in modern society.
I’m sure that’s how it used to work in some places. Especially when traveling the crazy Oregon trail was a hazard at times, you had to pay and help just because hands were needed.
These kind of men are shamed in today's society, sadly. At least in main stream media. They are deemed as toxic, too manly, privileged. All I can say is, these kind of men are needed badly in today's society, more then ever. I try to help anyone in my community in need if I can, but these guys are legendary.
Words can't express the amount of respect I have for everyone involved in this story, from Sin City getting this man's story out there and using the large fan base as a beacon for help that this man needed, and the HeavyD crew for quickly responding knowing they have incredible resources and man power and $$ that they have built up and earned over the years and use it to help others is something not even alot of billionaires are willing to do. Hats off
If I ever became I billionaire I would literally spend practically every day of the rest of my life doing random acts of kindness for strangers. Being buried with a golden soul beats the shit out of being buried in a golden coffin. 🙏🍻
Just came over from Sin City Outdoors to give you guys a salute for helping that poor guy out with his houseboat. Very inspirational to see how hard you worked and battled to get that thing back in the water just to help a person in need. Thanks for restoring some of my faith in humanity.
The retired carpenter Craig said that he has been betrayed by so many people in his life, and these guys helped restore his faith in humanity. It meant a ton for Craig.
Same here! Lol... 💪🏽🤞🏽💯 been a fan of D Sparks and the guys since diesel brothers tv show! These dudes are real life super heroes what they did in this video is something out if this world and something I wish I can do for any and everyone who needs the help! Broke my heart watchingcause Craig was truly bummed out and pretty much gave up all hope and was ready to take the loss on his life's work in that boat and that was terrible to watch and see till the boys and crew came to restore faith in humanity and Craig! I know the feeling he felt I've done so much for ppl through out my life having nothing to give and would and have gave my last and been in situations where as much as it's killed me to ask/look for help and was left for dead... salute to diesel brothers god bless you guys 100x over than what you already are man🙏🏽 you guys rock! Have my eternal ❤️ 🤞🏽💯💪🏽
You guys are truly heros. What you did for that guy with the boat was nothing short of miraculous. YOu and your team should be super proud of what you did.
Thank you Sin City outdoors for bringing this to the publics eye! But BIG shoutout to Heavy D and Diesel Dave for helping out Craig! True men here! When in Salt Lake gonna stop by give you guys a little token of my appreciation! When in Vegas gonna take Sr. and Jr. to dinner! All you guys are awesome! Thank you!
Dude, ive been a long time lurker on your channel. I just randomly watched Sin City Outdoors and seen this guy there. To see you take him back onto the water is pretty amazing. New Subscriber, keep up being awesome man, we need more selfless people like you.
I know right? What are the odds of that, I watched all of the videos at random and saw the houseboat on both channels he mentioned lmao I'm not subscribed to either of them except for this one, I'm glad he went and got em!
I've said it before and l have to say it again that I've never met anyone else who is so patient, persistent, loyal and committed than you all. Congrats on another successful recovery, love you all ,cheers Tracey from Australia xo
The HeavyD team are the role models that today's youth need (especially young males). You guys are providing so much more than RUclips content, heavy recovery and good deeds. Being positive role models for people all over the world is, by far, the most important work you guys do.
I don't think Craig will ever be able to express how thankful he is to have your help. Congratulations on the recovery and making a difference with someones life 🤟
He came pretty close to expressing what it ment when he said "How can I ever thank them? Take them fishing a couple of times???..." the emotion of his voice said it all...
I cant get over this story man, this kind of acts of kindness are chipping away my bitterness from my soul. I hope I can do something like this someday for someone. Amazing work.
You will get your opportunity. It feels really good to help others and see how truly thankful they are. You get so much goodness from it in every way. Plus you help others which is even better.
Doesn't have to be this level. Just helping someone change a tire can mean a whole lot. I got a van full of tools so I always stop to see if I can help.
@@mrwilson7617 Small acts can change a world, thats very true. I love cooking so I should check out some shelters and churches that do scratch/soup kitchens.
@@mrwilson7617 47 years ago I was honeymooning on Maui which was much less developed than now. We had rented a 450 Honda MC and had run out of gas. In the middle of nowhere , no cell phones , I was pushing it. A Hawaiian gentleman in a car stopped and said he would get some gas. I hoped for the best but kept pushing. He came back and put 2 gallons in the bike I went to pay him and he said something to me in Hawaiian and I just shook my head and then he said " it is a gift from the heart". All these years later after doing as many good deeds as I came upon I never will forget him or what he said to my wife and I all those years ago. Bless you and the boys Heavy D
I've retired from special forces , I see what you guys do and I see what I was fighting for , people like you guys who are the true hearrows doing what I did ,but you do it every day. You have my respect .
God bless you guys. Craig was so down on his luck, and you came & saved the day. First learned about this via Sin City vid. You have restored the faith in mankind for so many people. The only thing that will get us through this global mess is helping each other🙏🏽
I’m seriously sitting here in tears. The happiest tears. To see the pure joy you guys experience by helping others is truly the greatest thing to see. The pure joy on his face to see is home safely back in the water too… amazing video.
As a disabled retiree who lives in and travels in my RV, I just have to give you the greatest kudos in the world, for this rescue! God bless you and all your crew!
I'm about to do Thes Stealth disabled van deal, and I think time to time we all might need a hand up, I thought of a class b, 24 foot or so, worried about repair cost with RV vs 2015 f350 ford van, mostly be on BLM land out west, i try to ask all full time, i would be buying and older RV if went that way, what do you think. ty may the force be with you
@@philbert4740 I highly suggest you check into a van if single and can build your own unit. research is the key to success when it comes to boondocking as is good solar setup. Lots of good RUclips videos on the subject.
God put us on this earth to help and take care of those who need it. After seeing you all come to Craig's aid. Not knowing who he was or what you were getting into. You hopped on the plane without a second thought. My father was just like that. He was a pastor. Believed in giving the shire off his back if someone needed. I saw with my own 2 eyes. There was not a living soul that didn't like him. He beamed. People were drawn to him. He was special. I said all this to say this. I believe you gentlemen have the same kind of beckon inside of you. People say there are not anymore good men and woman in the world. HeaveyDsparks they haven't met you. Its does my heart good to see this and other RUclips.. God bless your Hearts!!!! I have one with that special beacon. My husband! My husband helped people all his life. 2 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer. He has ended up with an SP catheter. Hes not strong and agile likes he use to be. He loves the great out doors. Loves to fish and hunt. Camping. After all his surgeries. From about dying, not being able to walk for months from him getting sepsis from his kidney that went through his body that was due to this major surgery. He doesn't feel safe in the boat he has now. He's been through so much and still is going through alot. Yes he and I have had our hard times the last 2 years. Savings go fast. He's working but shouldn't. He tells me he's not handicapped and hes gonna keep going till he cant go anymore. My heart feels up with pride cause not just his regular job, he still helps people the best he can. All I ever want for him is to be happy. Alan is very strong willed. Why I said all this I have no idea. Maybe this post will find it's way to a person who need a few word to let them know they are not alone in this big world.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes after watching this. What an amazing group of men!! You've not only restored Craig's faith in humanity but mine as well. From the bottom of my heart I thank you! May God continue to bless you as you go the extra miles to do great things in this world!!
Exactly what i was trying to say !!! This is mind blowing . This wasn’t a stunt for RUclips views . This was a sincere group of men who care !!! Amazing
I'll never forget how Craig, although stranded and basically losing everything in front of him. Showed his appreciation to 'Sin City Outdoors', by giving them what possession he had (a fishing lure) to say thanks for just checking in and trying to help. *Thank y'all for showing Craig, that we're in this together. You guys were literally his saving grace.
I’m struggling to find the words to express the joy and gratitude that I feel watching this video and what you did for this man. True heroes! My faith in humanity has been restored for now. Love you all, love what you did/do, love what you stand for and love Sin City Outdoors for making it all happen. Without them, who would’ve known. Love to all!❤️ Keep doing what you’re doing because without people like you, we’re all destined to fail. This makes my heart sing again❤️
Your generosity is inspiring, you have no obligation to help any of these people, I don’t think people realize how many people in your situation couldn’t be bothered to help, you have everything you need monetarily but the value and pride you get from being selfless and truly helping in need people is a great model for more of us to follow, cheers!
@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell Oh Yes, I'm very aware of how much is made... Step up, find a subject and start posting... You too can be a video star...lol...
I am so beyond happy to see Doug and Heavy D helping to find closure for these families. I have been watching Doug since the start of this journey and I was beyond thrilled to your launch of United Search Corps. Doug, you truly are a remarkable human being and you have found your calling. God bless you.
You guys and Sin City Outdoors really killed it on this. So glad you were able to help him out of an incredibly desperate situation. Wow. Just wow. Cheers guys.
I'm not the only to say this but Thank Y'all So Much! We need more of this right now in this country Americans helping Americans like we always have and show who actually cares. Much love to y'all you made Craig's world shine bright again!
Props to sin city for giving this guy a chance to keep his boat!! Just watched their video yesterday and immediately thought of you all. Had a feeling I'd be seeing this video, just not so soon. Legends and most kind hearted people!! Big love to you guys. People can learn a lot from you all, as to how to be a human and treat others with dignity and respect!!
my parents are from mexico and so im first generation American in our family and when i see good people like heavy d it makes me love this country even more .
Thank you to SIn City for showing this guy needed help, and throwing up the bat signal. And thank you guys for saving this guys day, his boat, and just getting this problem solved. This was just so amazing to watch through, the guys problem originally when I saw the first one, my heart broke for him, to seeing Dave’s comment, to now watching this and getting it back in the water. What an amazing world with amazing people!!! So much faith restored!!!!!
The world needs more people like heavy D and his crew. And much less of those that don't want this guy living in his boat, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness 😊
Craig has been on my mind ever since I saw the Sin City video! I’m thrilled you guys were able to help him out. Thank you for being good human beings. ❤️
Every village needs people like you , I try to be that for my family. I use to help my neighbors but it got me into trouble , After watching I’m going to give it another shot. 👍🏾
39:22 Man, the smile on his face when you got the boat back in the water, just shows the true amount of happiness he was feeling! I’m sure he hasn’t smiled like that in years! Great video and great job Sparks! Your a good man! God bless you 💯
I think there's probably quite a a few men, and women, that have gone through something similar to what you all did here. Hours and hours of work and thinking, more work with little success followed by even more figurin', then more and more work with some success at which point you are exhausted but the end is in view. Then more work until your goal is finally accomplished and that deep, deep down feeling of pride satisfaction contentment joy exaltation overwhelms you like nothing you've ever felt before; and you want to hang on to that feeling forever. We did it! I remember that feeling. I just felt a nostalgic wave of it pass over me and I have you to thank for it. I congratulate you all. You did it!
That was absolutely the best thing I have seen on RUclips in a very long time! I am a mechanic who has become disbaled and no longer able to do what I love... but oh how I would have loved to be there to help you guys help him! I got chills watching each and every pull. This is what America needs! People helping people! Gosh what a celebration must have occured! God smiled big that day, I know it!
I watched the sin city video and felt so bad with what had happened with him, when I found out that you and your crew were going out to recover his boat I felt so relieved. Way to go guys, there needs to be more people like you guys in this world.
The reasons for wanting to move to Granbury, TX...It has a lake, it has a small airport, & it's really quite & away from tons of noise that's in Fort Worth. I love the fact that you help others. I understand how the boat owner feels.
I thank you all so very much helping a fellow retiree. This was a dire situation and everyone pitching in to help a senior has given me more hope the goodness in humanity is not lost. Such respect shown to a senior truly warms the heart.❤️❤️
I was watching Sin City Outdoors this past week when they posted about that stranded houseboat. I was surprised and glad you guys came to the rescue. You’re doing a lot of great things, keep it up! Thanks
I started watching SinCityOutdoors a couple weeks ago. When I saw Jr ask if anyone can help dude with his houseboat, I had a feeling someone would rise to the occasion. When the video popped up in my feed, I was like hell yeah that's awesome.
These acts of kindness are what this country needs more of. Your a true blessing. I've been following this since Sin City aired it. God bless you guys for helping him! You've definitely earned my subscription!
I"ve watched this Rescue, Recovery, several times, still amazing on how big of a heart and determination to get this boat back in the water! Totally Awesome! 💯💖
I watched the interview with this poor fellow on Sin City Outdoors- and the FIRST thought I had was I wonder if y'all could do something like this? 😎👍 Way to go, guys. This was awesome. Seriously- Thank God there are people like you (and your family and friends) still out here in this world.❤ If only there were MORE...😎👍
You guys are angels in disguise.😇 I helped my Dad rebuild a 47ft cabin cruiser from Windella boat graveyard in Chicago. He turned a sight seeing boat into a cabin cruiser on Lake Michigan on Monroe Street Harbor. it was all wood, replaced plank by plank. He ended up joining the Coast Guard Auxiliary on Lake Michigan and saving peoples lives.
Seen the first video of him stranded my heart broke for him out there all alone with not enough financial resources to get his boat out of there … digging his own trench doing all he could. The world needs more people such as ALL of you - both channels- that made this happen for him. Thank you … I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada and have been following the water level issue at Lake Mead… its a disaster. THANK YOU for helping him, I imagine this is the biggest thing anyone had ever done for him.
Hi Heavy D, I caught this video on the young kids video, so proud of him for helping out this pour guy stuck in the bank. Had to come over on your site and give you and your crew a big thumbs up for the work you did to help him. God bless you guys and thank you again! restores my faith in humanity1 Love your channel by the way!
This was my first viewing of HeavyDSparks. I never cheered so hard at my TV before! This was such a beautiful and inspiring video. I hope the people that helped this man, live a long beautiful life.
You guys are freaking legends. So glad you were able to help Craig out. I'm blown away by your spirit & generosity. With so much negativity & selfishness on display these days, HeavyDSparks & Jr&Sr @ Sin City Outdoors restore my faith that there are truly wonderful people around still. Plus so many comments of support. Fantastic to see. You've brought a tear to my eye, thank you for all you do, champions.
Wow, just found your channel and im speechless! Wish there were more men (and women) out there like u with strong wills to help and hearts of gold. U guys worked your butts off and just would not quit til the job was done! I dont know any of you personally but i couldnt help but feel a sense of pride in you all who helped this man save his home. Please keep doing what u do. Your love for your jobs shows through this video. Much love from west tennessee!
And just like that I’m in tears of joy. I absolutely knew this was the only crew in America that would and Could do it. I am so happy to have been able to watch what Americans can do for one another. God Bless America. And God Bless HeavyD and the Whole crew
I’m a senior lady from Illinois and my husband I just watched your houseboat recovery.I just wanted to say you just your crew and you are the nicest guys in the world. If I lived near you I’d make you a good home cooked meal always be careful and safe.Miss D😘
Totally cheered when you guys broke it loose. I used to work in a steel fabrication shop with three 5 ton cranes and some tempered chains and I saw / heard one of those break and it went right by my head behind the 10 foot sheer and if I had been leaning out in the aisle, I wouldn’t be around watching your videos. So, I knew how feelingly dangerous that recovery was. Congratulations all you men. My hat is off to you!!!! 💪💪💪
I'm a 72 yo woman and I just gotta say: I LOVE MEN!!! Thank you so much for helping this man. Your kindness is overwhelming. All my life I've been impressed and amazed at what hard working, intelligent men such as yourselves are able to accomplish and you all certainly accomplished the impossible. This poor guy didn't have any way out of this situation until all of you came to help. Thanks too to those helping and alerting you to his plight. Our world needs more of this and less division. You are all super stars in my book. ❤️ 💙 💜
Y’all need to be in this world for 200 hundred years the way y’all looking for ppl in deep help u guys do whatever it takes to keep things positive happen!!!! Bless up y’all
I’ve seen everyone of your published recoveries but this by far was the best. You guys are amazing for helping this guy out in such a dire situation. From one boater to another, THANK YOU. I love you guys! Keep being the amazing people you are!
Have done a few of these. Best to attach the tow rope to the bow of the boat to be rescued (and stern of rescuing boat). Pulling then turns the boat 180 degrees which often works surprisingly well. Then pull it into the water. The stern is the deepest part and will dig into the sand more than the bow.
I know I’ll never have money like these guys in my lifetime but this is how I envision me using my imaginary wealth. I stumbled upon Sin City’s channel a couple of weeks ago right after my dad passed away. I got very invested in their series on Lake Mead. Seeing their great father and son bond as well as D’s kind heart and generosity just makes me realize this is what RUclips and society should be all about. Much love to all of you guys. You’re real men
Been watching this from day one. You guys are the kind of neighbors we all want. I can't say enough, what you did today was inspiring. Thanks for making our country a better place. Everyone knows we need more of this to get back to where we once were. You've got a subscriber for as long as your doing this. Your crew deserves a big that a boy. Great Americans helping Americans!
It's awesome to think, I found out about HeavyD and his guys helping out Ghost Town Living by hauling water up to Cerro Gordo and it's cool now seeing other new subscribers from another side of RUclips follow Dave and his team. He's really great, lots of awesome content.
thank you Dave Sparks i had salt water pools in my eyes over that poor old man and his boat and the hard work both you and your boys you have working along side you, You have given my tears of joy watching you getting that bout to float, a BIG THANK YOU from Chris from down yonder Australia.
I saw the Sin City Outdoors video of the stranded boater yesterday. Since I have been keeping up with the dropping water in Lake Mead. The first thing I thought is HeavyDSparks and the crew could help this guy for sure! I'm glad people reached out and emailed you. God works in mysterious ways! 🙏 Thanks Dave, your crew and the Sin City Outdoors father and son duo for being great people and helping out when someone was in need! God bless you all!
to do all this almost sight unseen, dealing with the park service, putting together a plan, travel time, and accomplishing it, in what 24 hours. Mind boggling!!! You guys are why there is still hope for this country, thank you
HeavyDSparks and Sin City Outdoors, you are both absolutely incredible. I saw the original video last week, absolutely incredible to see what the power of social media can do when combined with genuinely awesome human beings! Everyone involved, wow, your incredible 👏🏻
That was amazing, badass, generous, kind and beautiful. You guys are Heroes, so glad their are people like you, bless each and every one of you. Found out about Craig's plight from the Sin City Outdoors guys, it seemed pretty hopeless but I was impressed by Craig's positive attitude in the midst of his hardship. He needed the cavalry to come to his rescue, and that turned out to be you guys. I am now a subscriber.
Thats about the nicest thing that I have seen done for someone else in a long long time. Awsome job HeavyDSparks for helping Craig. The world needs more folks like you and your crew.
You rescued Craig, a man retired and living on barley enough to get by. You not only saved him from becoming homeless but in a world so divided, you gave us all hope for humanity. You literally yanked my heart strings.
It is illegal to live on a houseboat inside the federal park. (All of Lake Mead is Federal land) There's a hole in the boat from the recovery and it's taking on water now. If it sinks, the fines are quite handsome indeed. At last word, the park service wants it off the lake ASAP. There are a few FB groups for Lake Mead boaters following the story. The trick to living at the marina, don't draw attention to yourself.
I am so glad that there are so many people like yourselves out there, the world needs more and more caring people. Keep up the brilliant work. I am from Australia.
You guys are simply "Good People". This is everything that people love to see. Those who are fortunate, helping those who may be less. Great job guys. Haven't seen a RUclips video that touches the heart like this in a long time.
@@Gnarnia. And along comes that one PESSIMISTIC A'HOLE that just HAS to take this random act of kindness - - and turn it into SOMETHING THAT IT ISN'T. You sound like a very shallow jerk who's just jealous. You explain to me and everyone else just HOW HeavyD is supposed to make MILLIONS off of this kindness when he's personally paying to get a dozen plus men who are on his payroll, an aircraft, a truck, trailer and a boat, and all of this personal equipment both to AND from another State, AND he will probably end up replacing Craig's houseboat for him to boot - by just making a YT video that pays 1/4 of a CENT for each advertisement but only IF viewers watch those ads IN FULL? How many adverts did you get? I only got 2 - and I watched them in full = 1/2 a cent. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you explain these millions of dollars he's going to make out of it, Gnarnia? Even if EVERY viewer purchased a piece of merch, the actual profits wouldn't cover his expenses - and I've only ever purchased one t-shirt, and one of the mens blood-test kits FROM A SPONSOR in all the years I've been watching the channel. You can make up all that 💩 you want - but it's still just 💩. Have a nice day! Pffftt!
@@Gnarnia. oh please, can you just let it go with the seething envy! You know they could have been like the vultures at that salvage company trying to cash in on the man’s misfortune. Or, they could have been like the worthless federal government offering no help at all and in fact doing their best to make the guy homeless. It is just another example of our tax dollars being pissed down a black hole. I have never seen a fed agency yet that has ever tried to actually help anyone other than the Coast Guard rescue choppers. When you factor in the time, fuel, setup, wear and tear on equipment and working to exhaustion to get that boat back in the water I doubt Heavy D came out ahead in this rescue. Can’t you just be happy that a guy was rescued from financial ruin and being homeless despite the best efforts of an uncaring government.
Well done guys. Im a womanwho knows diddly squat about boating but I do know that the front is always lighter than the back. Wld it not have been easier to swivel the boat around using the winch and drag it from the front so it didnt dig into the sand?! I think just maybe it may have been a tad bit easier! Or not! Its great to see such awesome ppl helping those that need it. God bless you all!
Sin City Outdoors not only introduced me to your channel, but to many of the recovery channels on RUclips (via that comment section). I had no idea that such amazing work was being done all over the country. AdventuresWithPurpose is also another amazing channel by the way! I've been really excited to see this video since they discovered Craig's boat. You definitely have a new fan and volunteer any time it is needed!
I am in awe at that incredible rescue… not just of the boat, but the difference you made in that man’s life is beyond description. God bless all of you.
It is selfless actions like this that restore my faith in my fellow humans. You guys did a really good thing here, and on behalf of all of us, thank you for your skill, kindness, and hard work.
My heart ❤️ is actually getting alittle more hope, you all have done something that so many would not even attempt along with Sin City Outdoors putting out the video, I want yall to know you touch alot of lives helping Craig, YOU ALL ARE AMAZING, THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊
Videos like this, the RUclips Community coming together and helping each other out, give me goosebumps and tears of joy. We need more of humanity like this in this world.
Dude, what you do is AWESOME! When Sin City posted that fellas troubles, your boat was my 1st thought. Our world is messed up but guys you like you prove that good is everywhere. Hats off to you and your crew!
Most people are willing to help you IF you have the money to pay them, there's not many genuine people out there anymore but the DieselBrothers are one of the very few that are willing to go out of their way to help someone in trouble, your a good man! 👍
I am so proud to live in a country with people like you. What you do for all of these unfortunate people is just short of a miracle and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!May the good Lord bless you always.
You guys rock! I watched Sin City Outdoors and their updates on the state of Lake Mead's water level. This poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got completely stranded. It's good to know there are people like you guys out there to help people in their greatest time of need. Keep it up! We need more positivity in these trying times.
Hey Guys, there are lots of scammers in the comments section pretending to be me. Any comment with a Telegram number or any comment saying you've won something and to message them is a SCAM! Please don't respond to or message these scammers, just report their profile to youtube as SPAM.
@@ArizonaTraveler i guess you were born yesterday lol
I know, currently I been scam and yeah it socks. Keep up the good works and be safe.
I'm glad I reached out to your chat on your website. I didn't give them any info that isn't public record. I am not easily scammed, but they were very convincing.
All i know is i have been told i won something b4 but that is not the point u guys are amazing ppl your whole crew out there just trying to make a difference helping is the only way to healing others
And ourselves
I am troubled daily just getting to work much. But im greatful for what i do have
Amazing Day! Thank you for the quick response. Loved the video 👊🏼
Good job guys! Woot woooot!!
Orale
I hope you guys are reaping the rewards for all your effort. I started watching a few weeks ago, concerned about the water level. I live right next to the Mississippi River but I still worry about y'all. I drive a tanker 18 wheeler so if worse comes to worse I'll bring y'all some water 😜.
Thanks for bring this up guys.,😍😍😍 love your vids, SCARY about the lake😱😱😱😱
Thx guys. This is what America is about
Glad to see you were able to help him out. That was awesome.
you guys dave and your team restore peoples faith in the human population keep it up
House boat life is an interesting life. I knew people who lived on a bigger boat in the middle of a lake for years and years. Pretty cool stuff.
I hope the hull is fine on that boat. I heard a lot of crunching that could've been the wood rollers or the fiberglass keel.
@@handshewd i agree
@@handshewd IT SURE DID MINE!!!!!!! COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER! THANKS
I recently started following Sin City Outdoors and this is why I am here now. You and your crew are incredible individuals who have brought some badly needed good news and warmth into our world. Thank you for bringing a tear to my eye and restoring my faith in the joy people can bring to others! I can't even imagine how Craig feels! I am now a subscriber! Love to all from Karen in Ontario, Canada!
I can't believe the authorities were quick to salvage his boat yet there's endless amounts of smaller boats just sitting all around for months they didn't clean up. So happy you were able to help him
That's because the authorities wanted Craig's boat off the lake permanently. They thought they finally had their chance to get rid of Craig and his boat. But they didn't count on the kindness of strangers to give Craig the help he so desperately needed.
being an old retired dude on a fixed income myself and seeing what all you guys did for this gentleman just tugs at my heartstrings. far too often it seems people just don't care about someone stuck in a situation like that (no pun intended) but you guys are awesome. keep up the good work.
Damn these fake accounts.. every comment.
What I admire about you and your whole team, you never give up on any rescue and or recovery. The fact that you said “ if I break it, I will buy him a new one “ no other recovery team would do that. If fact, they wanted money and all’s you wanted was a THANK YOU.
Brother... very few companies have the expendable funds to do work for free. These guys have good extra income from youtube and other buisness other than recovery.
@@TheWasher18 good thing they have extra income they deserve it all! This is what we need today on news channels instead of politics.
@@TheWasher18 The part is, they don’t have to do what they do. But they do do it out of the kindness of there HEARTS. But what I’m trying to say is, look at all the other millionaires out there not willing to help. That’s all.
Just a little kindness goes a long way.
Watched you guys do this on Sin City Outdoors, and just wanted to say what an awesome rescue. Not just the boat, but you rescued a mans life. Hats off to you guys !
Dude you have so much to offer people in need, when you offer blood and muscle thats when it truly means something. You guys are Legends.
I love this statement and it IS a statement! You guys make me tear up every time I get to watch these recoveries! LEGENDS, I say…LEGENDS! ❤
By chance did you happen to get him any groceries? Looks like he could use a few 😟
Not only bloood and muscle, Money too, a lot of it...!
I just want to say, Heavy D, you gave the people what they wanted, I have never clicked on a video faster than this one. I love that you take on any challenge, and you have whatever vehicle to recover it with. This is why you have subscribers, and this is why we keep coming back for more. I live in Arizona so this one hit home for me. Keep doing gods work.
Agreed.
I really just cant get enough of this. Ive never seen a video like this with the pure will and determination to help a fellow man. I love the recovery vids but this hit so different. With all the bad shit going on 24/7 in this world it made me feel so good to know that mans home was saved. Its so damn hard for alot of us these days with fuel and inflation but he seems like he doesnt have alot or is maybe down on his luck a little more so to see the absolute heart felt joy on his face made me tear up. Sin City is new to me with only watching 3 or 4 vids but if you cant tell how great and respectful these guys are then your blind. Huge shout out to Sr and Jr and Heavy D on making this happen. Love it love it love it!!!!!!!!
Wild how it all clicked
Perfect...
I cried when the boat finally hit the water. You guys are amazing. My bf used to tow in the everglades, and now we live in N Florida woods. He is constantly having to pull the neighbors tractors and excavators out of the swamps and I get to cover him for the snakes which are enormously plentiful. People who have never been there don't understand how satisfying this kind of help can be for people, but what you guys did saved this guys life, literally. Ty 😊
I originally saw this houseboat on Sin City Outdoors after seeing his previous videos on fishing/living and lake level dropping. When they said "If there's anyone who can help them out, let us know" - I thought of y'all immediately. I'm not surprised to see this come to fruition. Two great channels and hope for humanity.
Same thing an I check and it’s already posted
I said the same thing! Thank God they came to his rescue! And what made me love these guys even more is when Heavy D said, “if I break his boat in half I will buy him a new one”….what a wonderful human!!
who didn't know this clout leech would swoop in at this opportunity
I just came across this video! I am so impressed! You and your crew are the best examples of all American MEN. I am so glad you did a video. I am an elderly woman and to see you do this warms my heart. I was cheering in my living room for you all. Time for a beer! The old man was so happy. Restored his faith. Be Bless and be safe.
Hands down you guys are all-American. Helping anybody and everybody.
God bless you all. Remember everyone deployed. 🇺🇸 173rd
It is amazing to see Sin City Outdoors and Heavy D Sparks crew come together to help Craig. Everyone involved are remarkable people!! 🥰
Life can go off the rails in the blink of an eye. You did way more than help someone out, you brought a nightmare to an end and did so with humility. Hats off to you with deepest respect, and best wishes to Craig for smooth sailing.
39:22 absolute highlight of this entire episode. His face!!!! True happiness. Thank you boys for doing something truly great for someone in need
Let's all appreciate that this man got tons of messages to go help and didn't just say "you guys can't tell me what to do" and instead thought about it and went to help on his own dime and on top of that, he made it into a wholesome memory for his son. These are the kind of men we should be idolizing in modern society.
I’m sure that’s how it used to work in some places. Especially when traveling the crazy Oregon trail was a hazard at times, you had to pay and help just because hands were needed.
AND I GET IT OUT I WILL STILL BUY HIM A BOAT 🛥 NICE OF HIME,.
These kind of men are shamed in today's society, sadly. At least in main stream media. They are deemed as toxic, too manly, privileged. All I can say is, these kind of men are needed badly in today's society, more then ever. I try to help anyone in my community in need if I can, but these guys are legendary.
Words can't express the amount of respect I have for everyone involved in this story, from Sin City getting this man's story out there and using the large fan base as a beacon for help that this man needed, and the HeavyD crew for quickly responding knowing they have incredible resources and man power and $$ that they have built up and earned over the years and use it to help others is something not even alot of billionaires are willing to do. Hats off
Amen
If I ever became I billionaire I would literally spend practically every day of the rest of my life doing random acts of kindness for strangers. Being buried with a golden soul beats the shit out of being buried in a golden coffin. 🙏🍻
Amen 🙏 to that
Well said. I just discovered these guys on utube about 2 months ago. What a great group
Just came over from Sin City Outdoors to give you guys a salute for helping that poor guy out with his houseboat. Very inspirational to see how hard you worked and battled to get that thing back in the water just to help a person in need. Thanks for restoring some of my faith in humanity.
The retired carpenter Craig said that he has been betrayed by so many people in his life, and these guys helped restore his faith in humanity. It meant a ton for Craig.
Same here! Lol... 💪🏽🤞🏽💯 been a fan of D Sparks and the guys since diesel brothers tv show! These dudes are real life super heroes what they did in this video is something out if this world and something I wish I can do for any and everyone who needs the help! Broke my heart watchingcause Craig was truly bummed out and pretty much gave up all hope and was ready to take the loss on his life's work in that boat and that was terrible to watch and see till the boys and crew came to restore faith in humanity and Craig! I know the feeling he felt I've done so much for ppl through out my life having nothing to give and would and have gave my last and been in situations where as much as it's killed me to ask/look for help and was left for dead... salute to diesel brothers god bless you guys 100x over than what you already are man🙏🏽 you guys rock! Have my eternal ❤️ 🤞🏽💯💪🏽
You guys are truly heros. What you did for that guy with the boat was nothing short of miraculous. YOu and your team should be super proud of what you did.
Thank you Sin City outdoors for bringing this to the publics eye! But BIG shoutout to Heavy D and Diesel Dave for helping out Craig! True men here! When in Salt Lake gonna stop by give you guys a little token of my appreciation! When in Vegas gonna take Sr. and Jr. to dinner! All you guys are awesome! Thank you!
Dude, ive been a long time lurker on your channel. I just randomly watched Sin City Outdoors and seen this guy there. To see you take him back onto the water is pretty amazing. New Subscriber, keep up being awesome man, we need more selfless people like you.
Me too lol
RUclips algorithm did the same to me.
Yup same
I know right? What are the odds of that, I watched all of the videos at random and saw the houseboat on both channels he mentioned lmao I'm not subscribed to either of them except for this one, I'm glad he went and got em!
Same that's crazy I just did 15 mins ago
Given all that's going on in this country, this was a breath of fresh air and good for the soul. Thank you!
AMEN 🙏
Everything about this is uniquely American. Good job, boys! Stop the hating and other bullshit. Get to work and get shit done like these guys!
I've said it before and l have to say it again that I've never met anyone else who is so patient, persistent, loyal and committed than you all. Congrats on another successful recovery, love you all ,cheers Tracey from Australia xo
The HeavyD team are the role models that today's youth need (especially young males). You guys are providing so much more than RUclips content, heavy recovery and good deeds. Being positive role models for people all over the world is, by far, the most important work you guys do.
Completely agree
I don't think Craig will ever be able to express how thankful he is to have your help. Congratulations on the recovery and making a difference with someones life 🤟
I believe Craig did. His desperation hardened him. A man’s man!
Craig's Words ...( "You the Boy'z!!" came straight from that Man's Heart ) as soon as his Boat touch the water !! You Guy's are Badass man !!
He came pretty close to expressing what it ment when he said "How can I ever thank them? Take them fishing a couple of times???..." the emotion of his voice said it all...
I mean you can say thank you but feel like you can't say it enough... All I was getting at, is it's hard to show how grateful he must of felt.
I cant get over this story man, this kind of acts of kindness are chipping away my bitterness from my soul. I hope I can do something like this someday for someone. Amazing work.
You will get your opportunity. It feels really good to help others and see how truly thankful they are. You get so much goodness from it in every way. Plus you help others which is even better.
Doesn't have to be this level. Just helping someone change a tire can mean a whole lot. I got a van full of tools so I always stop to see if I can help.
@@mrwilson7617 Small acts can change a world, thats very true. I love cooking so I should check out some shelters and churches that do scratch/soup kitchens.
@@mrwilson7617 47 years ago I was honeymooning on Maui which was much less developed than now. We had rented a 450 Honda MC and had run out of gas. In the middle of nowhere , no cell phones , I was pushing it. A Hawaiian gentleman in a car stopped and said he would get some gas. I hoped for the best but kept pushing. He came back and put 2 gallons in the bike I went to pay him and he said something to me in Hawaiian and I just shook my head and then he said " it is a gift from the heart". All these years later after doing as many good deeds as I came upon I never will forget him or what he said to my wife and I all those years ago. Bless you and the boys Heavy D
I've retired from special forces , I see what you guys do and I see what I was fighting for , people like you guys who are the true hearrows doing what I did ,but you do it every day. You have my respect .
Ya buddy.....
Hearrows lmao
Hearrows is plain English, no doublespeak funny business 🚣♂️
God bless you guys. Craig was so down on his luck, and you came & saved the day. First learned about this via Sin City vid. You have restored the faith in mankind for so many people. The only thing that will get us through this global mess is helping each other🙏🏽
I’m seriously sitting here in tears. The happiest tears. To see the pure joy you guys experience by helping others is truly the greatest thing to see. The pure joy on his face to see is home safely back in the water too… amazing video.
As a disabled retiree who lives in and travels in my RV, I just have to give you the greatest kudos in the world, for this rescue! God bless you and all your crew!
I'm about to do Thes Stealth disabled van deal, and I think time to time we all might need a hand up, I thought of a class b, 24 foot or so, worried about repair cost with RV vs 2015 f350 ford van, mostly be on BLM land out west, i try to ask all full time, i would be buying and older RV if went that way, what do you think. ty may the force be with you
@@philbert4740 I highly suggest you check into a van if single and can build your own unit. research is the key to success when it comes to boondocking as is good solar setup. Lots of good RUclips videos on the subject.
God put us on this earth to help and take care of those who need it. After seeing you all come to Craig's aid. Not knowing who he was or what you were getting into. You hopped on the plane without a second thought. My father was just like that. He was a pastor. Believed in giving the shire off his back if someone needed. I saw with my own 2 eyes. There was not a living soul that didn't like him. He beamed. People were drawn to him. He was special. I said all this to say this. I believe you gentlemen have the same kind of beckon inside of you. People say there are not anymore good men and woman in the world. HeaveyDsparks they haven't met you. Its does my heart good to see this and other RUclips..
God bless your Hearts!!!!
I have one with that special beacon. My husband!
My husband helped people all his life. 2 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer. He has ended up with an SP catheter. Hes not strong and agile likes he use to be. He loves the great out doors. Loves to fish and hunt. Camping. After all his surgeries. From about dying, not being able to walk for months from him getting sepsis from his kidney that went through his body that was due to this major surgery. He doesn't feel safe in the boat he has now. He's been through so much and still is going through alot.
Yes he and I have had our hard times the last 2 years. Savings go fast. He's working but shouldn't. He tells me he's not handicapped and hes gonna keep going till he cant go anymore. My heart feels up with pride cause not just his regular job, he still helps people the best he can. All I ever want for him is to be happy. Alan is very strong willed.
Why I said all this I have no idea. Maybe this post will find it's way to a person who need a few word to let them know they are not alone in this big world.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes after watching this. What an amazing group of men!! You've not only restored Craig's faith in humanity but mine as well. From the bottom of my heart I thank you!
May God continue to bless you as you go the extra miles to do great things in this world!!
So true! It also brought me to tears.
Exactly what i was trying to say !!! This is mind blowing . This wasn’t a stunt for RUclips views . This was a sincere group of men who care !!! Amazing
May God also protect all the innocent children that were raped and murdered. Amen.
I'll never forget how Craig, although stranded and basically losing everything in front of him. Showed his appreciation to 'Sin City Outdoors', by giving them what possession he had (a fishing lure) to say thanks for just checking in and trying to help. *Thank y'all for showing Craig, that we're in this together. You guys were literally his saving grace.
He also gave Jr a fly fishing pole that he “wasn’t going to use”.
I’m struggling to find the words to express the joy and gratitude that I feel watching this video and what you did for this man. True heroes! My faith in humanity has been restored for now. Love you all, love what you did/do, love what you stand for and love Sin City Outdoors for making it all happen. Without them, who would’ve known. Love to all!❤️ Keep doing what you’re doing because without people like you, we’re all destined to fail. This makes my heart sing again❤️
Amen!
Well done. You all are heroes! Thank you for caring about the little people. This is his home. Bless your talent and effort. ❤❤
Your generosity is inspiring, you have no obligation to help any of these people, I don’t think people realize how many people in your situation couldn’t be bothered to help, you have everything you need monetarily but the value and pride you get from being selfless and truly helping in need people is a great model for more of us to follow, cheers!
Wish I could thumbs up your comment 100 times....
Little do you know how much they make on RUclips......and with partnerships and sponsorships.......
@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell
What's your point ??????
@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell Oh Yes, I'm very aware of how much is made... Step up, find a subject and start posting... You too can be a video star...lol...
Guys like you and Sin City Outdoors are what makes this the greatest country in the world! Awesome job guys!
Yes sir!
My favorite youtubers right now!
Glad to see it was a success
I just knew that when they had the house boat high sided it was going to split in half. Fantastic job and send these guys some work!
Nice
i like it
Ok interesant
Nice
I am so beyond happy to see Doug and Heavy D helping to find closure for these families. I have been watching Doug since the start of this journey and I was beyond thrilled to your launch of United Search Corps. Doug, you truly are a remarkable human being and you have found your calling. God bless you.
You guys and Sin City Outdoors really killed it on this. So glad you were able to help him out of an incredibly desperate situation. Wow. Just wow. Cheers guys.
I'm not the only to say this but Thank Y'all So Much! We need more of this right now in this country Americans helping Americans like we always have and show who actually cares. Much love to y'all you made Craig's world shine bright again!
There’s tons of us! We’re just not talked about….
I'm Irish so for me it's simply people helping people 🙏🙌❤️
Props to sin city for giving this guy a chance to keep his boat!! Just watched their video yesterday and immediately thought of you all. Had a feeling I'd be seeing this video, just not so soon. Legends and most kind hearted people!! Big love to you guys. People can learn a lot from you all, as to how to be a human and treat others with dignity and respect!!
my parents are from mexico and so im first generation American in our family and when i see good people like heavy d it makes me love this country even more .
Thank you to SIn City for showing this guy needed help, and throwing up the bat signal. And thank you guys for saving this guys day, his boat, and just getting this problem solved. This was just so amazing to watch through, the guys problem originally when I saw the first one, my heart broke for him, to seeing Dave’s comment, to now watching this and getting it back in the water. What an amazing world with amazing people!!! So much faith restored!!!!!
The world needs more people like heavy D and his crew. And much less of those that don't want this guy living in his boat, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness 😊
Craig has been on my mind ever since I saw the Sin City video! I’m thrilled you guys were able to help him out. Thank you for being good human beings. ❤️
Every village needs people like you , I try to be that for my family. I use to help my neighbors but it got me into trouble , After watching I’m going to give it another shot. 👍🏾
39:22 Man, the smile on his face when you got the boat back in the water, just shows the true amount of happiness he was feeling! I’m sure he hasn’t smiled like that in years! Great video and great job Sparks! Your a good man! God bless you 💯
I think there's probably quite a a few men, and women, that have gone through something similar to what you all did here. Hours and hours of work and thinking, more work with little success followed by even more figurin', then more and more work with some success at which point you are exhausted but the end is in view. Then more work until your goal is finally accomplished and that deep, deep down feeling of pride satisfaction contentment joy exaltation overwhelms you like nothing you've ever felt before; and you want to hang on to that feeling forever. We did it!
I remember that feeling. I just felt a nostalgic wave of it pass over me and I have you to thank for it.
I congratulate you all. You did it!
That was absolutely the best thing I have seen on RUclips in a very long time! I am a mechanic who has become disbaled and no longer able to do what I love... but oh how I would have loved to be there to help you guys help him! I got chills watching each and every pull. This is what America needs! People helping people! Gosh what a celebration must have occured! God smiled big that day, I know it!
GOD? What the HELL did the Spaghetti Monster in the sky have to do with it.
Amen
I watched the sin city video and felt so bad with what had happened with him, when I found out that you and your crew were going out to recover his boat I felt so relieved. Way to go guys, there needs to be more people like you guys in this world.
The reasons for wanting to move to Granbury, TX...It has a lake, it has a small airport, & it's really quite & away from tons of noise that's in Fort Worth. I love the fact that you help others. I understand how the boat owner feels.
I thank you all so very much helping a fellow retiree. This was a dire situation and everyone pitching in to help a senior has given me more hope the goodness in humanity is not lost. Such respect shown to a senior truly warms the heart.❤️❤️
I was watching Sin City Outdoors this past week when they posted about that stranded houseboat. I was surprised and glad you guys came to the rescue. You’re doing a lot of great things, keep it up! Thanks
I started watching SinCityOutdoors a couple weeks ago. When I saw Jr ask if anyone can help dude with his houseboat, I had a feeling someone would rise to the occasion. When the video popped up in my feed, I was like hell yeah that's awesome.
These acts of kindness are what this country needs more of. Your a true blessing. I've been following this since Sin City aired it. God bless you guys for helping him! You've definitely earned my subscription!
Me 2
I"ve watched this Rescue, Recovery, several times, still amazing on how big of a
heart and determination to get this boat back in the water! Totally Awesome! 💯💖
I watched the interview with this poor fellow on Sin City Outdoors- and the FIRST thought I had was I wonder if y'all could do something like this?
😎👍
Way to go, guys. This was awesome.
Seriously- Thank God there are people like you (and your family and friends) still out here in this world.❤
If only there were MORE...😎👍
You guys are angels in disguise.😇 I helped my Dad rebuild a 47ft cabin cruiser from Windella boat graveyard in Chicago. He turned a sight seeing boat into a cabin cruiser on Lake Michigan on Monroe Street Harbor. it was all wood, replaced plank by plank. He ended up joining the Coast Guard Auxiliary on Lake Michigan and saving peoples lives.
Seen the first video of him stranded my heart broke for him out there all alone with not enough financial resources to get his boat out of there … digging his own trench doing all he could. The world needs more people such as ALL of you - both channels- that made this happen for him. Thank you … I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada and have been following the water level issue at Lake Mead… its a disaster. THANK YOU for helping him, I imagine this is the biggest thing anyone had ever done for him.
Hi Heavy D, I caught this video on the young kids video, so proud of him for helping out this pour guy stuck in the bank. Had to come over on your site and give you and your crew a big thumbs up for the work you did to help him. God bless you guys and thank you again! restores my faith in humanity1 Love your channel by the way!
I’m so happy there a people like Dave sparks in this world, restores my faith in humanity for a little while. Thank you too all who helped with this
This was my first viewing of HeavyDSparks. I never cheered so hard at my TV before! This was such a beautiful and inspiring video. I hope the people that helped this man, live a long beautiful life.
He helps allot of people, he's a kind dude!!
ok
They have some great content
He’s a great guy, heart of gold that’s for sure!
You guys are freaking legends. So glad you were able to help Craig out. I'm blown away by your spirit & generosity. With so much negativity & selfishness on display these days, HeavyDSparks & Jr&Sr @ Sin City Outdoors restore my faith that there are truly wonderful people around still. Plus so many comments of support. Fantastic to see. You've brought a tear to my eye, thank you for all you do, champions.
Wow, just found your channel and im speechless! Wish there were more men (and women) out there like u with strong wills to help and hearts of gold. U guys worked your butts off and just would not quit til the job was done! I dont know any of you personally but i couldnt help but feel a sense of pride in you all who helped this man save his home. Please keep doing what u do. Your love for your jobs shows through this video. Much love from west tennessee!
And just like that I’m in tears of joy. I absolutely knew this was the only crew in America that would and Could do it. I am so happy to have been able to watch what Americans can do for one another. God Bless America. And God Bless HeavyD and the Whole crew
Dave and company doing another awesome good deed after another restoring faith in humanity, thanks guys!
Yeah, I watched sin city video and commented to sparks that it would make a great episode.
I’m a senior lady from Illinois and my husband I just watched your houseboat recovery.I just wanted to say you just your crew and you are the nicest guys in the world. If I lived near you I’d make you a good home cooked meal always be careful and safe.Miss D😘
Totally cheered when you guys broke it loose. I used to work in a steel fabrication shop with three 5 ton cranes and some tempered chains and I saw / heard one of those break and it went right by my head behind the 10 foot sheer and if I had been leaning out in the aisle, I wouldn’t be around watching your videos. So, I knew how feelingly dangerous that recovery was. Congratulations all you men. My hat is off to you!!!! 💪💪💪
I'm a 72 yo woman and I just gotta say: I LOVE MEN!!! Thank you so much for helping this man. Your kindness is overwhelming. All my life I've been impressed and amazed at what hard working, intelligent men such as yourselves are able to accomplish and you all certainly accomplished the impossible. This poor guy didn't have any way out of this situation until all of you came to help. Thanks too to those helping and alerting you to his plight. Our world needs more of this and less division. You are all super stars in my book. ❤️ 💙 💜
Yes ma'am. We need more good men like this and strong women to back them up.
Men don't get to hear a compliment like this often enough. We love you too. For so many reasons.
Y’all need to be in this world for 200 hundred years the way y’all looking for ppl in deep help u guys do whatever it takes to keep things positive happen!!!! Bless up y’all
I’ve seen everyone of your published recoveries but this by far was the best. You guys are amazing for helping this guy out in such a dire situation. From one boater to another, THANK YOU. I love you guys! Keep being the amazing people you are!
Ditto, 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have done a few of these. Best to attach the tow rope to the bow of the boat to be rescued (and stern of rescuing boat). Pulling then turns the boat 180 degrees which often works surprisingly well. Then pull it into the water. The stern is the deepest part and will dig into the sand more than the bow.
I know I’ll never have money like these guys in my lifetime but this is how I envision me using my imaginary wealth. I stumbled upon Sin City’s channel a couple of weeks ago right after my dad passed away. I got very invested in their series on Lake Mead. Seeing their great father and son bond as well as D’s kind heart and generosity just makes me realize this is what RUclips and society should be all about. Much love to all of you guys. You’re real men
Phenomenal example of humanity! Makes me want to chase money again, only maybe this time to spend it in a way to help other people!
Never say never. Anything can happen
So many people are stuck in life at one time or another thanks for your service and kind hearts
Well said bro!
Absolutely stunning recovery guys! You guys saved Craig's home and his life as well! God bless you all and stay safe in everything you do!😇😊🤗🥰
Been watching this from day one. You guys are the kind of neighbors we all want.
I can't say enough, what you did today was inspiring. Thanks for making our country a better place. Everyone knows we need more of this to get back to where we once were.
You've got a subscriber for as long as your doing this. Your crew deserves a big that a boy. Great Americans helping Americans!
It's awesome to think, I found out about HeavyD and his guys helping out Ghost Town Living by hauling water up to Cerro Gordo and it's cool now seeing other new subscribers from another side of RUclips follow Dave and his team. He's really great, lots of awesome content.
@@N1NT3NDUD3 Rite-On
thank you Dave Sparks i had salt water pools in my eyes over that poor old man and his boat and the hard work both you and your boys you have working along side you, You have given my tears of joy watching you getting that bout to float, a BIG THANK YOU from Chris from down yonder Australia.
I saw the Sin City Outdoors video of the stranded boater yesterday. Since I have been keeping up with the dropping water in Lake Mead. The first thing I thought is HeavyDSparks and the crew could help this guy for sure! I'm glad people reached out and emailed you. God works in mysterious ways! 🙏 Thanks Dave, your crew and the Sin City Outdoors father and son duo for being great people and helping out when someone was in need! God bless you all!
to do all this almost sight unseen, dealing with the park service, putting together a plan, travel time, and accomplishing it, in what 24 hours. Mind boggling!!! You guys are why there is still hope for this country, thank you
HeavyDSparks and Sin City Outdoors, you are both absolutely incredible. I saw the original video last week, absolutely incredible to see what the power of social media can do when combined with genuinely awesome human beings! Everyone involved, wow, your incredible 👏🏻
Thank you all you for helping and being awesome Individuals!!!!!! Warms my heart. Thank you all and God Bless!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
That was amazing, badass, generous, kind and beautiful.
You guys are Heroes, so glad their are people like you, bless each and every one of you.
Found out about Craig's plight from the Sin City Outdoors guys, it seemed pretty hopeless but I was impressed by Craig's positive attitude in the midst of his hardship.
He needed the cavalry to come to his rescue, and that turned out to be you guys.
I am now a subscriber.
Thats about the nicest thing that I have seen done for someone else in a long long time. Awsome job HeavyDSparks for helping Craig. The world needs more folks like you and your crew.
It was actually done for clicks and revenue. But its still better than a lot of other shit
You rescued Craig, a man retired and living on barley enough to get by.
You not only saved him from becoming homeless but in a world so divided, you gave us all hope for humanity.
You literally yanked my heart strings.
It is illegal to live on a houseboat inside the federal park. (All of Lake Mead is Federal land) There's a hole in the boat from the recovery and it's taking on water now. If it sinks, the fines are quite handsome indeed. At last word, the park service wants it off the lake ASAP. There are a few FB groups for Lake Mead boaters following the story. The trick to living at the marina, don't draw attention to yourself.
@ez1913 where would one find the information regarding these updates?
@@k00ms be a boater or know a boater on Lake Mead.
@@ez1913 the first rule of houseboat club is you don’t talk about houseboat club ;-)
@@mowburnt When you beach your houseboat, folks are going to talk.
I am so glad that there are so many people like yourselves out there, the world needs more and more caring people. Keep up the brilliant work. I am from Australia.
Real Americans like these guys will always end up prevailing no matter the obstacles. Very inspiring.
You guys are simply "Good People". This is everything that people love to see. Those who are fortunate, helping those who may be less. Great job guys. Haven't seen a RUclips video that touches the heart like this in a long time.
Easy when you make millions off your videos too
@@Gnarnia.
And along comes that one PESSIMISTIC A'HOLE that just HAS to take this random act of kindness - - and turn it into SOMETHING THAT IT ISN'T. You sound like a very shallow jerk who's just jealous.
You explain to me and everyone else just HOW HeavyD is supposed to make MILLIONS off of this kindness when he's personally paying to get a dozen plus men who are on his payroll, an aircraft, a truck, trailer and a boat, and all of this personal equipment both to AND from another State, AND he will probably end up replacing Craig's houseboat for him to boot - by just making a YT video that pays 1/4 of a CENT for each advertisement but only IF viewers watch those ads IN FULL? How many adverts did you get? I only got 2 - and I watched them in full = 1/2 a cent. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you explain these millions of dollars he's going to make out of it, Gnarnia? Even if EVERY viewer purchased a piece of merch, the actual profits wouldn't cover his expenses - and I've only ever purchased one t-shirt, and one of the mens blood-test kits FROM A SPONSOR in all the years I've been watching the channel.
You can make up all that 💩 you want - but it's still just 💩. Have a nice day! Pffftt!
@@Gnarnia. oh please, can you just let it go with the seething envy! You know they could have been like the vultures at that salvage company trying to cash in on the man’s misfortune. Or, they could have been like the worthless federal government offering no help at all and in fact doing their best to make the guy homeless. It is just another example of our tax dollars being pissed down a black hole. I have never seen a fed agency yet that has ever tried to actually help anyone other than the Coast Guard rescue choppers. When you factor in the time, fuel, setup, wear and tear on equipment and working to exhaustion to get that boat back in the water I doubt Heavy D came out ahead in this rescue. Can’t you just be happy that a guy was rescued from financial ruin and being homeless despite the best efforts of an uncaring government.
@@kenehrett343 Seething envy ? 🤣 I was pointing something out... You're the only one who's butthurt here
Well done guys. Im a womanwho knows diddly squat about boating but I do know that the front is always lighter than the back. Wld it not have been easier to swivel the boat around using the winch and drag it from the front so it didnt dig into the sand?! I think just maybe it may have been a tad bit easier! Or not! Its great to see such awesome ppl helping those that need it. God bless you all!
Amazing people you all are ... still hope for humanity with folks like HeavyD and his team.
Thanks, HeavyD for helping Craig out of his situation. God's Blessings to you and your gang for making the impossible possible.
Sin City Outdoors not only introduced me to your channel, but to many of the recovery channels on RUclips (via that comment section). I had no idea that such amazing work was being done all over the country. AdventuresWithPurpose is also another amazing channel by the way! I've been really excited to see this video since they discovered Craig's boat. You definitely have a new fan and volunteer any time it is needed!
@joshman1019 I love adventures with purpose. They're amazing! The things they do for families is incredible.
HeavyD did a video with adventures with purpose a month ago check it out they pull Heavy D's boat of the bottom of lake Powell.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE RECOVERY & THE SMILE ON THAT MAN'S FACE WAS PRICELESS .. GOOD JOB GUYS!
I am in awe at that incredible rescue… not just of the boat, but the difference you made in that man’s life is beyond description. God bless all of you.
It is selfless actions like this that restore my faith in my fellow humans. You guys did a really good thing here, and on behalf of all of us, thank you for your skill, kindness, and hard work.
My heart ❤️ is actually getting alittle more hope, you all have done something that so many would not even attempt along with Sin City Outdoors putting out the video, I want yall to know you touch alot of lives helping Craig, YOU ALL ARE AMAZING, THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊
STOP TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE !!! WITH YOUR FAKE CLONE ACCOUNTS.Take your Telegram scam and shove it !!!
Videos like this, the RUclips Community coming together and helping each other out, give me goosebumps and tears of joy.
We need more of humanity like this in this world.
Dude, what you do is AWESOME! When Sin City posted that fellas troubles, your boat was my 1st thought. Our world is messed up but guys you like you prove that good is everywhere. Hats off to you and your crew!
Most people are willing to help you IF you have the money to pay them, there's not many genuine people out there anymore but the DieselBrothers are one of the very few that are willing to go out of their way to help someone in trouble, your a good man! 👍
1.5 million views in just 2 days was the only thing he was going out of his way for
I am so proud to live in a country with people like you. What you do for all of these unfortunate people is just short of a miracle and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!May the good Lord bless you always.
You guys rock! I watched Sin City Outdoors and their updates on the state of Lake Mead's water level. This poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got completely stranded. It's good to know there are people like you guys out there to help people in their greatest time of need. Keep it up! We need more positivity in these trying times.
