The Pemberville Freedom Fire Department if 5 miles from my house. I'm sure there very thankful. It means alot to our small rural towns. So thank you very much.
Thank you Zach, you never know when this could happen and with the video we can know what to expect. Hopefully the rescue squad will have similar equipment.
Zach and Becky, Randy and the rest, THANK YOU! I'm excited to see how far the equipment and techniques have come in just a few years. I'm retired EMT after 20 years of high angle technical rescue from Mankato/Blue Earth County, MN. I've seen my share of grain bin fatalities. Education for the farmers and trainings such as this WILL save lives.
When I was young, there was a neighbor who's daughter nearly died after being pulled beneath a corn pile. Farming is risky business! Thanks for sharing this.
After retiring from 30 years as a volunteer fireman specializing in crash/rescue, I can tell you the training these guys get is invaluable. Thank you for all you are doing t help these heroes.
I am not sure which is most important, the equipment, or the training. BOTH are the best but I feel training would help even if they did not have the equipment!! This is fantastic!! Great move Zach!! This will pay dividends for YEARS to come!! Bless you. My compliments to your editor!! Always a great job on that.. Thank you both!!
We were trained for hazardous waste rescue at my job. The closest professional help to the job site was over an hour away. When the person was found unconscious we got a hit for every time we asked or had them do anything during the rescue. Afterwards the teacher explained everything to us and gave pointers to help us out. I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you Zack.
We just took this training with your instructor in the colony to the north of us good training good instructor they built good equipment to all the fellow firefighters and first responders be safe and remember we all go home
Well done video. I was a Township Trustee for 32 years, and worked with the local Fire Departments to provide, and find funding for such programs. Our local volunteer fireman are so dedicated, bless them all. Good work, Zach!!
I'm on the east side of MN. I see three local area depts got some grants. This hits close to home in so many ways. All I can say is Thank You and they always pick the big guy to be the unconscious one. Thanks Again
Valuable tools and training. This is a serious condition that can trap anyone so quickly they can't get out. Thanks Zach for starting this and Thanks to all the contributors.
I work on the ambulance that covers Kilbourne, IL. My co-worker was telling me that no one on the department knew this was coming and they are all extremely grateful for the equipment that’s headed their way!
Amazing to see the training and can't imagine the stress of a real event high up a 60 foot silo in the dark of night. These guys are heros and thank you sharing this with us. Stay safe and God bless.
The whole rescue would be a struggle. Getting the equipment to the top of the bin. Assessment of the victim. Situation assessment. Without a platform or catwalk outside of the bin, its challenges. And last getting the victim to the ground. Lots to consider. Randy being a big guy shows re real potential challenges. Good vid. Be safe guys.
Outstanding training scenarios. Being CSE certified for the past 30+ years you Instructor didn’t miss anything. Continue on with the Good work for Farm Safety. The key to rescue and extraction is to Don’t Panic
This brought back some memories I had to be rescued from a grain bin I took safety measures before I climbed in from the top I tied a rope around my waist and when I started walking to the center of the bin there was a air pocket and I started sinking I had someone else with me they were still by the ladder and he got more help after what felt like forever they freed me I won't get in a grain bin again to scared
That must be scary. I have nightmares about being trapped in tight places. I'm good with confined spaces but very tight spaces where there is only one way in and one way out and its not on your feet, I don't like.
@@mikeznel6048 yes I thought I was going to not get out I will not be able to ever climb in one again my employer understands I have fellow co-workers who says I use that as a excuse to get out of work but they were not the one who almost lost their life
@@jordanriggins4954 Well at some point you may get over it. Now knowing what can happen, you'll be even more careful and prepared. Its also great to have lided to tell your story so at work you can be a real life example of what can happen.
@@ronsmith1364 they should be standard for every farmer with a grain bin. After seeing this I would never enter a (full) grain bin without some kind of those.
I am glad to see these departments get the funds I didnt think NY was going to be in that group I would have said my dept but. The County has alot of this equipment already so thank you for eveyone that donated and @millennial Farmer thank you for doing this for us all
That is truly how you make América great again. Donate what you can even if it’s just time you have to help some one. I’m ready for regularly scheduled videos again😉. Again thank you Zach and everyone eles that contributed.
I worked for one of the utility companies. here i n Colorado. for a safety demostration the fire department came out and rescued a stuffed guy we had in a trench cave in. it opened my eyes.this was in downtown denver. they where a few blocks away they treated like a call out that they would get. all i can say is it was a body recovery. they made a point to tell us if we got in a cave in are chances were very small, and they would take every safety step that was called for . i would bet that is the same .great video. guys just be carful. there is always a safe way to do things.
That was awesome. I've been a Paramedic for 25 years, and I have never had a grain bin rescue, however the county I live and work in has many farms with grain bins and the potential exists. Thank you for doing this for the departments out there, and thank you for showing it.
@Vrishin not at all? I live about 7 miles give or take from the family behind the need of such a training facility. 1 family lost a father,son and a brother. 3 people gone.
We had a grain bin accident on our farm and thankfully we had a group of farmers that helped out and knew what to do! This is awesome ya guys have done this 👏 to you guys
I spent a ton of time in a corn bin. Came close to getting stuck but, always got out on my own. Never even thought about "what if". Dad said, go shovel out the hard spots and up the ladder and in the bin I went. Pretty dark in the old York Bin way back when. Hated that job nearly as much as picking rocks. Rural response time is the real question for me. Might help to always have a cell phone in the bin. If you can even get a signal in there. So good to see this Grain Bin Rescue raising awareness. Those who have been on the front lines in the bins alway risk their life going down the corn hole. Snickerfits.
Very cool video. I was an EMT in my younger days. We did specialized training where we had to rappel off grain bins to rescue injured folks. This was in the early 80s.
Fantastic effort to all involved, respect to you Zack and Becky for such a great demonstration of kindness and care to your industry colleagues. 🏴
Having spent grown up and around farms and then 25 yrs as a firefighter one of the things you have to watch out for with the "rescue mentality" is rushing in too fast and needing to be rescued (or worse) yourself. Just seeing this should alert firefighters the danger, stop and think before jumping in and give them ideas for improvisation. Sometimes you have to work with what you have. Great work on everyones part for putting this together.
Easier to work with the biggest 'casualty' in training and being able to cope with the lighter casualties in reality. I am ERT trained in these and other confined spaces and also from heights like the bin legs. Never nice having to do it for real.
@@diarmuidmcnicholl2343 Yep I was always the biggest guy in my fire department and was the training dummy for all sorts of exercises and specialized rescue training. Im 6'4" 300lbs. If they could get me out then it helped boost the confidence of my brothers/sisters in the department for when we were in it for real and knew how to overcome those obstacles with bigger patients.
As someone who has grownup in and around farming and now has 15 years on the 911 communications-dispatch side of public safety, I sincerely appreciate any effort to make known and advance any training.
"DO NOT ATTEMPT any of what you are about to see in this video" - starts video with petting the dog. Jesus Christ Zach, You just forced me to make my first comment here, and I am from Poland that is a looong way from Minnesota ps. Great Job, keep all the farmers safe !
@Colton MacdonaldBesides the afore mentioned vain and not "vein". It is Jesus's not "JESUSES" how disrespectful. Lose the caps locks as well. To be honest, your post is more disrespectful to our Lord and Savor. Learn proper grammar would help your cause as well.
That is excellent. The individual and corporate donations are outstanding. This is really a 2 part rescue. One is in the bin. The second is coming out of the hatch and down the ladder. I can only imagine pulling the person out onto a snow and ice covered shed roof and trying to control the victim lowering them to the ground. God bless the volunteer and career firefighters. Thanks for bringing this video to everyone.
Thanks for the contribution to the Gacke, ND fire department. Small town and low populations make for neighboring departments helping each other. This contribution has the potential to help a large area.
Zach what you have done is great I will have been a volunteer fire man for over thirty years I have also been a farmer all my life volunteer fire departments need all the help they can get now days as an ex fire chief I know how hard it is to get funds for equipment. My hat is off to you and your family you are special to be able to do what you do God bless you and thanks
Man that looks tough, especially in a real scenario, but they did a good job, that auger with the drill is a good idea, an those panels too, thanks setting this up Randy, thanks for sharing zach, awesome video, thanks for sharing, much appreciated! 🇱🇷
As a retired farmer, I Thank You. The fact that farming is at or near the top of the list for most hazardous occupations in the U.S. matters little to the general population due to the fact the percentage that are farmers is so small. It does my heart good to see there are people and organizations being proactive with regard to grain bin rescue efforts. Until you. Have been trapped in. A bin it is hard t truly appreciate. Stay safe.
Thanks for this video. Absolutely wonderful video. Heartfelt thanks to all that do this work. Thanks to all firefighters that train for this type of event. Not easy that is for sure. Wonderful training facility. Thanks to all that save life’s in these events. Thanks Zach for doing this. Retired Air Force veteran. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Wow! My eyes were sweating. Ibe been in that situation in a grain hopper transport trick. I know the feeling of helplessness. Thank you Millennial Farmer for what you are doing.
A Big thanks to you and your family for doing the Grain Bin Safety Campaign Zach. Also a big thanks to the K-town fire department for letting you film them in action.
Thank you for doing what you do. As a firefighter, it is hard to deal with a lack of equipment as a reason to lose that battle. That equipment will save lives!!
As a Fire Fighter i am very proud of what everyone has done here. I have been on fires at farms but never had to do a grain bin rescue. How ever we did a Coal Bunker rescue and it was very much the same idea. Millennial Farmer keep up the hard work and Tell Randy to stay safe as well.
One of the best videos I’ve seen on RUclips. I was raised on a small farm but we never had silos or grain bins. I was very curious to see how these rescues happened. Those panels are genius in their simplicity. Thanks for doing this video.
A farm is one of the most dangerous workplaces in the world. I grew up on one. There are 1000’s of different ways to get yourself hurt or killed. As you mentioned a slurry pit kills quite a few. Loca farmer had 3 folks lose their lives when someone was down in trying to fix the discharge pump when fumes took him down. Two helpers jumped in the pit to try to pull him out and they died too. Anything spinning can take you out pretty quick too. PTO shafts are deadly. Getting caught on any kinda roller chain whether it be on a hay elevator, baler, or something will kill or maim. Getting crushed is a real possibility if your working under something and it gives way. Just countless ways.
@@jayss10 Ah yes, but I'm Dutch! Over here we don't really have open air pits. But older barns still have cellars where they keep the manure. In those it's asphyxiation that gets you first :S
@@jayss10 the farmer in chief on the farm I work on (aka my friend's grandpa) had his face broken in three places by hay elevator crank over the summer. They installed a ratchet crank on it after that. We still stacked hay that day too. (He's not usually a stacker so no hitches there)
@@jayss10 This will sound unbelievable, but it's true. When I was a kid growing up on a New Hampshire dairy farm in the 1940's I fell through an open trap door in the floor into a manure pile up to my neck. Luckily my grandfather found and rescued me and I ended up in front of the farm house getting washed down with a garden hose. It's all funny now for my family, but I'm lucky to be here at 77 years old (not full of shit from that anyway).
So thankful for all the caring support form everyone coming toghter. Accident's happen in a blink of a eye no matter how careful one trys to be. I am a survivor
For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone would go into a grain bin without wearing a harness attached to an overhead winch that they could activate at the first sign of trouble to winch themselves up. I've got to believe that the grain bin manufacturers have such a system available for newer bins, and with all the ingenuity that farmers have, they could rig something up along these lines to work on the older bins.
@@blakescountrylife7063 I think it’s supposed to be “the farmer does what he has to in order to get grain moved. Where would the winch go? How would it be powered? Inspected...”
@@larsharris I'd say the winch would have to obviously be attached at the top of the bin. If there isn't already power up there, it doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult or expensive to run the power up to the top of the bin. I'd have a harness stored at the top of the bin so I wouldn't have to remember it each time, just like any tool that I took to the top of the bin would be on a one-way trip as I would leave it in a tool box at the top. If you used the tool once at the top, you'll eventually need it again. I'm trying to eliminate additional climbs to the top carrying tools.
@@MillennialFarmer Nice!!! Can't wait to see what you do for it bud!!! I'm sure you won't disappoint one bit!!! Wish the best for you and your family this year, what better way to ring in the new year than a massive smokey firey burn out!!!
I don't know what to say - well, I guess I really do. One of the smartest uses of RUclips I've seen to both raise money to fund these tools for VFD's and see the training to make it even more valuable in others. Good work! Smart work and Safe work in one of the most dangerous work environments.
Awesome awareness with bins being as big ad they are and if you live in a rural community it's a rush too beat the clock. This is real and I thank you for sharing and donating too this bin safety.
@@RecoveryChad Thats how it is in most all rural areas.. I live in the country and farm part of new york. Same thing. Fire fighters are volunteers and they all have regular jobs too. The fire hall is also where the union carpenters meet and hold classes. The fact he is a volunteer fire fighter too just speaks more about his character.
One word...Spectacular!!!...Its hard to fund raise, choose and distribute funds. Well done. The Rescue Scenarios are indeed, Dynamic!!. This Video was one of your Best!! It’s truly an Honor to see what all have to go through to make these rescues happen. Thanks for taking the time to make this and share this with us city folk. I’m so Proud of ALL our Farmers. When you walk into the Grocery Store...it’s the 24/7 Farmer...it’s not grown in the back room!! Thanks Zach
Thank you for filming this video and for raising as much as you did. As a former volunteer firefighter for just over 15 years I thank you for what you did. I was even more excited to see my former department as one of the recipients.
Man this is awesome to see that people are training for this, I had a bin accident in September almost lost my right leg, it's nice to know people are preparing for these accidents. Then the one guy ask is that your bad leg that hit home hard I got my right leg cought in a unload drag for a grain silo that brought a lot back to mind.
My local fire dept is one of the lucky recipients to get supplies needed for rescues like these. I am sure they will appreciate it, the chief is a farmer as are several of the firefighters.
I greatly appreciate you filming this so people can learn about grain bin safety! Keep it up Millennial Farmer!
I agree. I’m not in farming or around it, but it’s still worth knowing what to do.
Thank you Zack and randy for putting the safety video together. It will be very helpful .
I’m on Deer Creek Fire Department. Thank you so much for the generous donation Millennial Farmer!
The Pemberville Freedom Fire Department if 5 miles from my house. I'm sure there very thankful. It means alot to our small rural towns. So thank you very much.
You guys did a great thing. Proud of you Zach.
I agree
I agree too
I agree three
Thank you Zach, you never know when this could happen and with the video we can know what to expect. Hopefully the rescue squad will have similar equipment.

Impressive work by the rescuers AND by the Johnson family to help local fire departments acquire the needed equipment.
After retiring from 30 years as a volunteer fireman specializing in crash/rescue, I can tell you the training these guys get is invaluable. Thank you for all you are doing t help these heroes.
At 65 with a lifetime of confined entry tank welding and repairs THAT WAS the best training I have ever seen and we have a strong Saftey Process
I am not sure which is most important, the equipment, or the training. BOTH are the best but I feel training would help even if they did not have the equipment!! This is fantastic!! Great move Zach!! This will pay dividends for YEARS to come!! Bless you.

Used to be on our volunteer fire department. We laughed and joked too, but the training is essential and could and has saved lives!
As lighthearted as the training is, the reality is truly terrifying.
along with the spark-ignition potential scary situation indeed. Similar to a coal dust problem but, not as much distance as a mine.
Thinking back to that time and why this is a thing. My son in laws dad was on that FD.
and dangerous. Anyone that enters a confined space is at risk.
That's a fact.
Thank you for all you done for the fire departments all over the world

Brasil!! I'm here.
Thank you for doing what you do. As a firefighter, it is hard to deal with a lack of equipment as a reason to lose that battle. That equipment will save lives!!
"facility"? Fafility?
What was that?
He was quoting Jim Carrey from the Cable Guy. I love the little 90s movie quotes Zach throws in. So funny!
A Cable Guy movie reference!

BINGO!
As a Fire Fighter i am very proud of what everyone has done here. I have been on fires at farms but never had to do a grain bin rescue. How ever we did a Coal Bunker rescue and it was very much the same idea. Millennial Farmer keep up the hard work and Tell Randy to stay safe as well.
I instantly thought about scrooge mcduck swimming in all his gold..... In his huge grain bin in his house
One of the best videos I’ve seen on RUclips. I was raised on a small farm but we never had silos or grain bins. I was very curious to see how these rescues happened. Those panels are genius in their simplicity. Thanks for doing this video.
0:13 : ah yes fafilivy
A BIG thankyou to Mr. and Mrs. Millennial Farmer for all you do to help keep those who work to feed us all, job well done
This always reminds me how every farmer I know has a story about someone dying in their manure pit...
A farm is one of the most dangerous workplaces in the world. I grew up on one. There are 1000’s of different ways to get yourself hurt or killed. As you mentioned a slurry pit kills quite a few. Loca farmer had 3 folks lose their lives when someone was down in trying to fix the discharge pump when fumes took him down. Two helpers jumped in the pit to try to pull him out and they died too.
Anything spinning can take you out pretty quick too. PTO shafts are deadly. Getting caught on any kinda roller chain whether it be on a hay elevator, baler, or something will kill or maim. Getting crushed is a real possibility if your working under something and it gives way. Just countless ways.
@@jayss10 Ah yes, but I'm Dutch! Over here we don't really have open air pits. But older barns still have cellars where they keep the manure. In those it's asphyxiation that gets you first :S
@@jayss10 the farmer in chief on the farm I work on (aka my friend's grandpa) had his face broken in three places by hay elevator crank over the summer. They installed a ratchet crank on it after that. We still stacked hay that day too. (He's not usually a stacker so no hitches there)
@@jayss10 This will sound unbelievable, but it's true. When I was a kid growing up on a New Hampshire dairy farm in the 1940's I fell through an open trap door in the floor into a manure pile up to my neck. Luckily my grandfather found and rescued me and I ended up in front of the farm house getting washed down with a garden hose. It's all funny now for my family, but I'm lucky to be here at 77 years old (not full of shit from that anyway).
So thankful for all the caring support form everyone coming toghter. Accident's happen in a blink of a eye no matter how careful one trys to be. I am a survivor
the warning : do not attempt this at home
Me: walks to my friends grain bin
😂😂😂
Thank you for the support for all the local fire department. Plus thank you for helping out my local fire department.
For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone would go into a grain bin without wearing a harness attached to an overhead winch that they could activate at the first sign of trouble to winch themselves up. I've got to believe that the grain bin manufacturers have such a system available for newer bins, and with all the ingenuity that farmers have, they could rig something up along these lines to work on the older bins.
Us farmers have to.and were you the winch go
@@blakescountrylife7063 I recognize all of the words, but the order makes no sense...
@@blakescountrylife7063 I think it’s supposed to be “the farmer does what he has to in order to get grain moved. Where would the winch go? How would it be powered? Inspected...”
People forget all kinds of safety when they are in a hurry, or tired
@@larsharris I'd say the winch would have to obviously be attached at the top of the bin. If there isn't already power up there, it doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult or expensive to run the power up to the top of the bin. I'd have a harness stored at the top of the bin so I wouldn't have to remember it each time, just like any tool that I took to the top of the bin would be on a one-way trip as I would leave it in a tool box at the top. If you used the tool once at the top, you'll eventually need it again. I'm trying to eliminate additional climbs to the top carrying tools.
Zach and Becky you did a great thing by organizing this fund raiser. Local Fire Departs and rescue service need this kind of support.
YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED OUT BY ONE LONELY FARMER FOR ZIP TIES AND BIAS PLIES BURN OUT CHALLENGE!!! YOU HAVE 7 DAYS TO SMOKE SOME RUBBER!!!
WHATS IT GOT, MILLENNIAL FARMER MAN!?!?!?

@@MillennialFarmer Nice!!! Can't wait to see what you do for it bud!!! I'm sure you won't disappoint one bit!!! Wish the best for you and your family this year, what better way to ring in the new year than a massive smokey firey burn out!!!
Following
Can't wait to see this was watching the one lonely farmer video that he challenged you and was waiting for you to answer
I don't know what to say - well, I guess I really do. One of the smartest uses of RUclips I've seen to both raise money to fund these tools for VFD's and see the training to make it even more valuable in others. Good work! Smart work and Safe work in one of the most dangerous work environments.
They needed "dead weight", Randy said no problem, lol!
Awesome awareness with bins being as big ad they are and if you live in a rural community it's a rush too beat the clock. This is real and I thank you for sharing and donating too this bin safety.
Zach, putting that “don’t do this” warning in the beginning just makes people want to do it more
He has to so no blame gets put on him
Nice work!!! You rock!! And so do all those Volunteers at our nations rural Fire Departments!! Thank you for all you do!!
Looked like they were trying to thread a needle with a sausage stuffing TMPL through that opening...
This is very cool training. Thank you Zach for championing his effort. Lives will be saved because of this.
Is Randy a fire fighter too? He seems like he fits the bill.
Ya he is. You should look at his Instagram. He puts up some stuff about it sometimes
@@diarmuid858 I don't have an instant gram account.
Up in Minnesota we do everything the population isnt such where we can have specialized people in each position. Plus were just that good
@@RecoveryChad Thats how it is in most all rural areas.. I live in the country and farm part of new york. Same thing. Fire fighters are volunteers and they all have regular jobs too. The fire hall is also where the union carpenters meet and hold classes. The fact he is a volunteer fire fighter too just speaks more about his character.
@@mikeznel6048 yup I live about 100 miles south of MF. Country Boys can and do everything
Its amazing seeing how many fire houses were able to benefit from your work. GREAT JOB!!
Great information and video! Still missing some masks tho guys!
One word...Spectacular!!!...Its hard to fund raise, choose and distribute funds. Well done. The Rescue Scenarios are indeed, Dynamic!!. This Video was one of your Best!! It’s truly an Honor to see what all have to go through to make these rescues happen. Thanks for taking the time to make this and share this with us city folk. I’m so Proud of ALL our Farmers. When you walk into the Grocery Store...it’s the 24/7 Farmer...it’s not grown in the back room!! Thanks Zach
now i carnt talk, move, pet my dog, breath, drive (when im older) bt i can still use my brain
Thank you for filming this video and for raising as much as you did. As a former volunteer firefighter for just over 15 years I thank you for what you did. I was even more excited to see my former department as one of the recipients.
Hi lol I’m 12 years old watching farmers lol
Man this is awesome to see that people are training for this, I had a bin accident in September almost lost my right leg, it's nice to know people are preparing for these accidents. Then the one guy ask is that your bad leg that hit home hard I got my right leg cought in a unload drag for a grain silo that brought a lot back to mind.
Not first, don’t care all I want to do is watch the vid
My local fire dept is one of the lucky recipients to get supplies needed for rescues like these. I am sure they will appreciate it, the chief is a farmer as are several of the firefighters.
