Using a Helicopter to move a Drill Rig

- In this video you'll see how a drill is moved from one spot to another in the pursuit of seeking out precious metals Northern Canada. This is real life, and unfiltered, trying to keep as much original footage as possible to show what its's like to work in remote North, this time with Spanish speaking Drillers.
I want to add that this is the first time these drillers have worked with a Heli-drill project, as they don't generally have the luxury of using a helicopter where they are from.
Last year i did another video on moving drills but with French-Canadian drillers, you can watch that here • How to move a Diamond ...
It remains a mistery what Gabriel and MC have been up to in those 20 minutes.
😂😂😂
The external gopro view was great, glad it lasted for so long!
As a pilot and former well driller, this video had me riveted!
glad you liked it!
Thanks for taking us along
The precise flying needed for this is wild!! Keep these videos coming. Love it.
I am not a rigger, but I do play one at hilltop repeater sites and I was aghast at the rigging and conduct of these drillers. How many times did they stand under the load "in the bite".
Massive props to whomever did the translations. That was hilarious.
yeah i get it, but it is their first time working on a heli drill project, so gotta cut them slack for that, and the language barrier. They did alright
@@bushpiloting Fair I guess, but don't cut them too much slack. I'm lead rigger for a heli company on a mine north of Terrace; we had a drill crew new to heli work last year, and they lost their rod rack mid flight cause they thought it would be a dandy idea to attach a drag to the single ratchet strap holding the rack to the rods. luckily it landed in the bush a few hundred metres outside of camp, but the storm that caused I never want to experience again. If it doesn't look right, I always get them to set it down, and make damn sure its good to fly. Just my 2 cents
Love the videos, keep up the stellar work!
yea, theres also a point where one of them is telling the helo to lift up, but the other guy isnt even done connecting and then he gives the signal lol.
@@staymad7206 ya that was MC. kind of crazy.
I’m a diamond driller and I love watching what it’s like on the other side of the longline. Great video as always 🤙🏻
thanks man! I appreciate your support!
You’re pretty tidy with the line, brother! Kudos. Also, comment for the algorithm.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing all communications between you guys! So much precision! So much attention to not get hurt anybody! Wonderful fottage in all angles!
I can't aford a pilot license being a poor guy in Brazil, but I can always watch those videos, nice work
Hey Darc' loved that one. It shows me you have the same frustrations as me with radio comms. good to see you kept level headed. ❤❤
Youve got so much patience there mate!!
i think they were being patient with me hahah
So good, such a great view! Keep 'em coming 🤙🏼
Solid job there with the sling loads.
Also commenting for the algorithm.
I worked on an oil rig 50 years ago in borneo. The entire operation was dependant on choppers, from moving the rig and camp and bringing in all the consumables.
Another good one mate.
bloody good video mate!
Nice Flying 😎 Not so nice rigging haha.. I drive a crane sometimes and it’s beyond my comprehension how some lads cannot visualise how a load is going to lift with how they rig it! Especially when they have done it hundreds of times!
Great patient video. I first rode in a helicopter in Golden at 10 years old(206) and first worked on them fire fighting at 17(Hughes 500) crew needs at least a briefing. Buddy could have lost fingers pretty easy while that lady signaled you to go.
I had some poor English speakers once. I bought some nice tequila for them and it seemed to improve their English oddly enough lol
i love this channel (:
Sick!
love this stuFf!
Another great video... what I like so much about this one is that it shows just how important communication is between ground and aircrew... if either of you needs something improved or enhanced, ASK!!!! well done on both your parts.... on another note, your sling skills look very polished on the 407.. getting any more comfortable with the SD2??? 😎👍
Hahahah nah I’ve haven’t flown the SD2 in a while now, back in the 407 where I belong!
another banga!
Nice
Could you put a camera where you are looking out of that bubble please? It would be great to see your perspective
Ya okay, good idea!
I love the glass dome also how are your videos so high quality?
i just try to do everying in 4k when i can
what do you mean by glass dome?
@@bushpiloting idk the name of it, the thing that lets you look down in your helicopter thats like a glass dome thing, they just look really cool lol.
That would be very challenging.....particularly the language barrier...
Nice work! Just wondering what length line your run for the drill moves in this flat country?
100ft is the standard, only go longer if I need to for trees/mountains n stuff
Nice work buddy, you still up there?
Just got back from working up there!
@@bushpiloting from that particular camp or just another tour?
@@matsworld9386 na just from working up there in general, i was doing some water stuff last week but this content is from summer
Where is this exactly? Google earth link? Thanks for posting, love it.
This is in the Mackenzie mountains, NWT, Canada.
i cant give you the exact location but it is about just north of Nahanni national park.
As usual sick flying! however, crap rigging. 😁👍
How long was this flight? :o
about 2 hours, thats as much as i can get in a fuel cycle in the 407
@ Nice ! I fly ASTAR in Chile, but I am looking forward to get an abroad commercial license, where do you fly?
@@geraldsepulvedajorquera6144 mostly in Canada, sometimes Australia, and wherever the wind takes me XD
are these drilling teams from spain or mexico?
I believe they were each from a different country down south, mecxico, Guatemala, and Columbia I believe
Geez those fellas need some training in rigging loads…
yeah I know, i just want to add that this is the first time these drillers have worked with a Heli-drill project, as they don't generally have the luxury of using a helicopter where they are from
@@bushpiloting where are they from? i cant tell if its a spanish or mexican dialect
@@staymad7206 mexico, ecuador and Guatamala!
