Hello Chris . My husband who is 44yr old operated equipment for 28 yr . But in 2018 he had a stroke and it caused brain damage and left him in a mental state. So he can't work anymore. I put your videos also other creators on for him to keep him entertained. He watches every one of your videos several times. Keeps him smiling . So thank you Chris for entertaining him. Blessings to you and your family
I've been fascinated by some of these videos and it's not just because I enjoy seeing work being done or dirt moved around. It's clear that the operator has learned to engage his mind to understand the three-dimensional forces affecting his work and the machine, sometimes solving pretty complex puzzles to do the work. So I suspect that you, in providing your husband with these videos, are not only keeping him entertained but also helping his brain into figuring out how to work around some of the damage caused by the stroke. Good for you!
Been there done that quite a few times. Mostly pickup trucks and a few tractors. Buried a Ford model 1920 halfway up the motor, had to hire someone with that one.
There are those that are stuck, and those that will be stuck in the future. Anyone that’s never been stuck has never been in that kind of material. Ponds and swamps are a whole different world.
right, but if you want it extreme, be sure to check out "Extreeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme dinosaurs!!!! ---> ruclips.net/video/VI__EW_fPJs/видео.html
Fun to do, until you realise it's just going to get filthy again within a fortnight. Which is exactly what happened when I bought a pressure washer to take months of grime off my car. No point washing it until the rain stops and everything can drain away.
Quick-clay is perhaps the most scary one. This one was filmed in Alta, Norway last summer where luckily no one was killed: ruclips.net/video/VWOsGjJo_oI/видео.html&ab_channel=AroundNijkerk. There also was one this jan. 3rd at Gjerdrum where 10 people lost their lives when a quick-clay landslide took out a part of a village. It's stable until disturbed, then it just liquefies as this demo shows: ruclips.net/video/p12DHwA566Y/видео.html&ab_channel=NVE.
@@martinusmagneson that first landslide had my jaw on the floor- imagine the entire fucking neighborhood where you grew up just casually sliding into the ocean.
He knew who to call !! lolol... He said, "Chris is the Man" !! I agree you know those machines Chris !! Glad you got him out without any real problems.... Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening....On too the Next....
It’s always good to have someone like you Chris that will go help people like him that really don’t know much about equipment but another job well done brother and as always you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man
I just realized that excavators can use their two treads combined with the arm and bucket to climb in a similar way that parrots use their feet combined with their neck and beak. That's why this talented operator will someday be able to climb a tree with his excavator, if he can ever find a tree big enough and with the kind of branches his beak... I mean bucket... can grab onto.
Was using my E35 bobcat back in the fall cleaning around the pond. Looked pretty solid. Scraped a few saplings and such down and looked out the cab and couldn't see my tracks anymore. Never felt the machine sink, guess I sat there too long. I promptly backed out and decided "Nope...central VA is too far for Chris to drive to get this outta here." When I get brave again I'm cutting logs and taking with me...when it's very very dry.
Square bales are the best thing I’ve ever used getting stuck equipment out. Mud, sinkhole, anything as long as you can get the tracks up to shove bales under them or even pieces of bales and pack it in it will come right out
Very impressive. I like the way Chris treats the machines gently, it came out with no damage and with economical movements. I imagine if you keeping trying something that's not working, you could just get stuck in deeper.
Chris made that look almost casual. Barely 8 minutes into the video, and he had the machine well on its way to being free. That is pure experience and knowledge of the machines in general. Good short video. Plus...continue with the good fortune and success of the channel. I’ll possibly be out of videos to watch after the snow we are supposed to get over the next 3 days in Maryland. Keep them coming Chris. 👍🏻
Chris's mini pads for a mini excavator. Almost like it was choreographed. I love my outside faucet that comes out of the basement so I can mix the water to the temp I want.
Did the exact same thing with my Komatsu at a mate’s farm. Turns out I’d tracked through an old filled in duckpond, and sunk to the tailpipe. Added a couple of bags of kitty litter to firm up the mud a bit and managed to see-saw up on cribbing, and tracked back out the way I went in.
Chris: "this gooey clay is not going to dry out within the next three weeks" Other guy: "I'm thinking about late tomorrow I should be able to get back out here" Chris: "OK, let me know how that works" Other guy: "yeah I'll let you know" Chris: "Ok send me another picture. Maybe you can get out there a little farther, get it up to the seat, maybe" Looks like he'll be keeping Chris busy for awhile longer and be power washing the excavator again. I think Chris just invented a new 'Disney" ride 'letsdig18 excavator' with steep 45 degree angles and fast turning zero cabs. Caution: If you're pregnant-can't take Dramamine-have a heart condition-brain disorder-vertigo-or any other medical issues; do not board this ride.
LOL Look at that thing. I really wish people would leave the work to the professionals. That excavator should not even have tried to get in that mud until it got cold . That poor lil excavator. Chris to the rescue....Again
I ran off a public ditch about 6 feet on either side in my dads backhoe, called my uncle with about 40 years of driving behind him and he had it out in about 10 min. Up until then I was proud of my driving.
My excavator running experience is green as it gets, but I even know not to get next to creek running into a swamp/pond. Nice rescue, nice of you to not call him out to harsh on marblehead move.
Chris, I came back to your sight to share something with you...if you havent already seen...little southern brothers...go watch some of the most recent videos. It will do your heart good. Their daddy is a logger but these boys are precious!
We sank an excavator about every third day in northern New York. 60’ big sticks. Clay was like Jello when you got into it. Mostly got them out right away but One we had to leave for six weeks. Had to mix cement into the muck to get it firm enough to scoop it out and then extract the excavator.

I wish your husband and yourself the best.
Truly a cool story!
What a beautiful sentiment.. I hope someone will do that for me when its time.
@Kane Zion You're right nobody gives a s***

- *"I wasnt stuck until I got stuck."*
Been there, done that lol
I wasn't stuck; I just couldn't get out . . .
LOL
Been there done that quite a few times. Mostly pickup trucks and a few tractors. Buried a Ford model 1920 halfway up the motor, had to hire someone with that one.
"i'm not stuck, I just can't get out." Most amazing line ever.
I wanted to upvote, but I will leave as is (nice).
The man is smart, he has a friend named Chris. Job well done and fast.
"Everything was fine until it wasn't" 😉
Great job Chris and good sport Mark 👍
That should be on a shirt
@@adamorsini4585 seriously, I’m still laughing. At least he has a good sense of humor about it.
You're a good guy to help out and not be too hard on him ( even though he seems to recognize his error). Kindness pays.
You don’t ever get mad, do you, Chris? I hope folks were as patient with you as you are with others! You are a good person!
There are those that are stuck, and those that will be stuck in the future.
Anyone that’s never been stuck has never been in that kind of material.
Ponds and swamps are a whole different world.
"I'm not stuck, I know exactly how to get out". * Calls Chris*
That there's called wisdom
I’m not stuck, I just can’t move. T-shirt material right there.
Sure would!
I'd buy that.
Nice to see a Fighting Sioux fan on here.
@@DW-qs5pp Gotta always represent!!
And the "Everything was fine, until it wasn't".
This one looks like a piece of cake for you! Love these rescues!
This shows off that his skill, not the equipment, is the key thing you're hiring with someone like him
He rescued a cute little baby Deere. Well done
Not quite as extreme as the last one, but hopefully this’ll be another hit!
right, but if you want it extreme, be sure to check out "Extreeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme, extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme dinosaurs!!!! ---> ruclips.net/video/VI__EW_fPJs/видео.html
I would enjoy seeing the power wash! It's one of those things people enjoy seeing.
like watching paint dry
@@arnoldromppai5395 people actually like seeing power washing....which is WAY faster than paint drying, and WAY more obvious in progress as it occurs.
Fun to do, until you realise it's just going to get filthy again within a fortnight. Which is exactly what happened when I bought a pressure washer to take months of grime off my car.
No point washing it until the rain stops and everything can drain away.
@@Skorpychan the expert in this video said it needs to be done immediately. Are you an expert saying it doesn't?
@@rubecork7102 ya ok get were your at
Chris's excavator recovery services. Business is booming.😂😂
And Chris said he didn't like mud.
@@stevenr8606 He likes money just fine...
That is some professional level mud fun.
It always amazes me seeing some types of soil just act like a liquid when enough weight or pressure is put on them.

Nice work and cleverly done. Helping him out is a good way to make a friend for life.

Pic of it sunk on a T-shirt!
I love how you weren't hard on the guy, just helped him get it out. Good stuff.

Thank god for power washing. Great job of extraction.
Twelve minutes for that one, I'm stunned yet again! Just amazing........
When you get that Deere-in-the-headlights look...
Actually the issue was the 'Deere' , they're very weak
Just goes to show... "there's no substitute for experience"... great job!
wow, hats off, you made that look easy. Thanks for sharing.
Nice recovery guys good job.
Awesome, you know your way around the mud pits!! Thanks for sharing! Eric from NH
Years of experience shines through, excellent of you to help a friend out like that.
Another great rescue. Well done.
I love these rescue videos so much, lol.
Bravo - it's like watching a skilled surgeon at work!
Hm a this point is he just going around in the middle of the night stashing machines in the mud to farm views? ...Because Ill watch them all! lol
Chris needs a "Warning, Not an Amphibious Vehicle" sticker to give out after these recoveries.
Good job. Thank for sharing.
Like he said: You're Da Man !
Good rescue job once again. 👍😎
You think this video will reach 5.6m views like the last recovery video? Here hoping.....

Keep them coming Chris. 👍🏻
He rescues burning landfills, he saves excavators in distress. I imagine he leaps from tall buildings and is faster than a speeding bullet too.
What an amazing operator!!!
Wow! Another amazing rescue.
Letsdig18 Excavator Recovery Service. No Excavator is too stuck for Chris. I think he loves the challenge!
Difference between an operator and a master is that a master can fix his mistakes!
Good friends are truly a blessing!!
good work, put a smile on my face when you got it out
Chris, you're wizard. That's a great way to recover a vehicle without getting mud on your own equipment!
Chris's mini pads for a mini excavator. Almost like it was choreographed.
I love my outside faucet that comes out of the basement so I can mix the water to the temp I want.
Hope you were paid well!👍
Great job and well done ..never had a doubt . Godbless and stay safe
Small machine and big wash job. Good video.
That was gnarly!
Crazy excellent work.
Chris to the rescue! Good job!
“help step excavator i’m stuck!”
Another great rescue video
Did the exact same thing with my Komatsu at a mate’s farm. Turns out I’d tracked through an old filled in duckpond, and sunk to the tailpipe. Added a couple of bags of kitty litter to firm up the mud a bit and managed to see-saw up on cribbing, and tracked back out the way I went in.
Nice recovery!
Oh Mark, been there done that. No better way to learn than painful reality ! Love this channel. 1800dial8
Amazing skill and knowledge.
now that's some awesome excavator rescue work there
Excellent recovery as usual!!!
Chris to the rescue AGAIN! Nice work i hope he supplied you some adult beverages👍
What a master. Terrific.
Good thing to know that the machine won't lift it's own weight...makes getting out near impossible for a novice. Nice job Chris!
Good job 👍 He definitely was happy once you popped it out 😎
We all need a Chris in our life.
You just continue to impress with each and every video. As Mark said, "Chris IS the Man!"
The recovery team did an amazing job. Stay safe
Nice little lesson in getting a mini unstuck.
Chris: "this gooey clay is not going to dry out within the next three weeks"
Other guy: "I'm thinking about late tomorrow I should be able to get back out here"
Chris: "OK, let me know how that works"
Other guy: "yeah I'll let you know"
Chris: "Ok send me another picture. Maybe you can get out there a little farther, get it up to the seat, maybe"
Looks like he'll be keeping Chris busy for awhile longer and be power washing the excavator again.
I think Chris just invented a new 'Disney" ride 'letsdig18 excavator' with steep 45 degree angles and fast turning zero cabs.
Caution: If you're pregnant-can't take Dramamine-have a heart condition-brain disorder-vertigo-or any other medical issues; do not board this ride.
The little mini survived it .Nice job helping him out.your the man Chris 😁
Now that was impressive, great operator
Wow that was amazing how you got that out.
LOL Look at that thing. I really wish people would leave the work to the professionals. That excavator should not even have tried to get in that mud until it got cold . That poor lil excavator. Chris to the rescue....Again
How impressive is this. 👀👍
You made that look easy.
“I wasn’t stuck until I got stuck”.
Sage words my friend. ;-)

18 to tha rescue baby!!
Those excavators are going down like nine pins!
I love sunk excavators!
It's probably a good thing it wasn't colder overnight.
Random algorithm suggestion, and a joy to watch. Skills m8. Skills.
My excavator running experience is green as it gets, but I even know not to get next to creek running into a swamp/pond. Nice rescue, nice of you to not call him out to harsh on marblehead move.
Real sticky situation the little one was in. Great work..
Aw, must feel good to be “the man”! Good job 👏🏻
Chris, I came back to your sight to share something with you...if you havent already seen...little southern brothers...go watch some of the most recent videos. It will do your heart good. Their daddy is a logger but these boys are precious!
I didn't believe for a minute he was stuck, a little immobilised may be but not stuck.
What a nice humble guy.
Wow. Little smarts go’s a long way. When we uses to go 4 wheeling always made sure we had off road jack, and a chainsaw.
Letsrecover18!!!! New channel lol great vid Chris!
Chris saved the day
We sank an excavator about every third day in northern New York. 60’ big sticks. Clay was like Jello when you got into it. Mostly got them out right away but One we had to leave for six weeks. Had to mix cement into the muck to get it firm enough to scoop it out and then extract the excavator.
