People always apologize profusely for putting up vids longer than 15-20 min. This is fascinating and fun to watch. Very enjoyable. Put up vids no matter how long they are. Feels like I'm learning at the same time.
I have 3 videos currently that are over 45 minutes so far.
I watched the video while cooking a corned beef in the Instant Pot. Seemed like a good thing. Watch Andrew, then have a feast! LOL All that work.
I find Andrew's videos very therapeutic, and relaxing....
It may be just a guy thing to see machinery at work?
You are a life saver. I am here sitting in the emergency room and you just gave me a over hour long video I can watch to kill the time.
Time Table just read your comment, hope you are or who ever is there is okay. Sorry to here that you are there :(
Hope all is ok now! Best wishes for healing. Peace and Good Fortune to you.
Life saver, emergency, and kill all in one comment. If u need help blink twice👀
All is good. Just nothing too much of a emergency.
I love how Potbelly yells "WHOA" at the camper, as if it will suddenly stop falling forward on its own. GREAT music as usual, Andrew!
I was watching, and going "oh no..." You could see that coming WAY before it actually dropped. XD I think the camper's tongue ended up bent there? It looks a bit wonky.
Some guys have 6-packs,, others have 30 - packs!1 lol

Imagine if we could replicate this guy 10,000 times across all disciplines. He works too hard, too smart and gets too much stuff done. People like him make the world go around. Thank God.
He is a rare bird and I thought the same way you have. He is a driven man and way to hyper for anything else other then what he is doing and I wished I had him to fix up my place but I live in Nevada so I will just dream.
I have some employees who have the same work ethic’s that Andrew has. I’ve been watching him from the beginning. It was his hard working abilities that got me hooked. His way of doing things right and his long hrs to get the job done!! I wish I had 10 of Andrews I could finally retire!! I’ve worked hard all my life!! I got 4 kids who are all successful in their jobs. One works for a nuclear power plant (Forman). My other son works for a fire alarm company (senior electrician programmer) a daughter who’s a teacher, with her masters teaching teachers.. The other works as a Business marketing specialist and is one of their top executives. I made sure that my kids would contribute to Society and not depend on anyone.
You can’t get to much stuff done
Andrew does great work and clean jobs it's hard to beat his jobs i see on here.
I don't really know what people typically commission you to do, but every project it seems like you go above and beyond. Great vid, job well done.
You’re the man Andrew. Always positive and showing true American spirit. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Andrews channel is the ONLY one I wouldn't mind ads in the middle. To make him more money because he deserves every penny he makes off of RUclips. By far the hardest working man I think I have ever watched. His determination alone is worth 10 times what he is making. Andrew if you are reading this my hats off to you brother. Keep it up and be safe out there.
Mini Digging I want him to use more power and "less Andrew". His body..especially his joints..can't take long term abuse like he's putting them thru. UNLESS , he's gonna retire early. But that ethic doesn't retire. So I am concerned. I speak from experience.
No commercials make it so much enjoyable to watch. Hopefully whatever money he losses out on is made back on subscribers, if that’s even a thing.
You can only get money from ads on videos i think
@@lancethomas4566 There is also money from people that pay for RUclips Red, assuming they are watching his videos. I don't know how it is now, but when they rolled out YTR I heard some creators say it was actually better money than ad revenue.
@Jay Holman , I completely agree with you , adverts are such a pain in the arse 🇬🇧
It really does show you something else about ACs character (besides the great work ethic). He’s not a Sell-Out!
🤜🤛
Really good point. Thank you AC!
Funny how you can tell how skilled someone is by how damn simple they make every job look. Pretty to watch , young fella, and always a pleasure...
So satisfying. I love the way he meticulously cleans up after each job. True professional.
Andrew , I think you helped
everyone in town in this video. Great job. 👍
"Alright, I am out here on this job today to put in a gravel pad for a camper, but first, let's just do a whole backyard makeover." Nice work man!
10% gravel, 90% gravy
lol, I was just thinking the same thing
Wont loast a winter i dont think. A concrete slab would have been much better. Bigger cost I know.
@@x01e gravel properly drained would last ok, but that's gravel in a bathtub almost. I agree it won't work too well and I'm sure Andrew let them know.
I was hoping he works by the hour, or at least has an hourly-add-on rate for when he gets there to do one thing and another contractor asks him to do something else.
With the insane politics everywhere and the country divided, I am incredibly happy to sit and watch your videos. They are honestly calming. And thank you for the nice long video. It was great to just sit back and watch you turn a jungle into a nice park like yard. Maybe you can talk her into doing some of your incredible stone walls there.. That would really make the place!!!
I agree. This isn't the Kardashians or the Jersey Shore rot that the big broadcasters are selling! This is everyday life for the majority of Americans.
If every US Citizen had this mans work ethic and outlook on getting things done...man oh man what a position we'd be in. We need to start educating youth to be this self sufficient.
Agreed completely. Who needs Cable TV when we have this!
Andrew you’re the only person that I know that when you say that you are removing a stump you remove the roots too you do an awesome job keep it up
Without digging around the stump to clear the roots there's no way you'll get that stump out even with a giant excavator
Andrew is the master at using his skid steers and excavators as an extension of his body meaning he handles them with incredible dexterity and precision. Also, Andrew is very neat and tidy in all his work and has the best supervisor there is in Levi!
Why are you commenting this? Just think it in your head
Man I was just about to go to sleep...Now I have to watch this for over an hour...fiiinnnee.
Me too, got to love Andrew's skills, he's great to watch!
It's 1:45 am and I just woke up after falling asleep on the couch. Looks like it will be about 3:am before I hit the sack. Oh well. Nothing on the agenda to get me up early. 😂
I'm laughing because - I had the exact same though process. I was hoping for a 20 minute video...
It's 2:02 a.m. and I'm only 28 minutes in. Know what you're talking about. Looks like I'm looking forward to watching this tomorrow, I mean later today.
Exactly
I admired this dude a lot..
Past tense, present tense it's all the same.
Same here!!
A) That is some mighty fine not-like-the-normal-shale-workshop soil! b) Great precision work with the blade, excavator, etc. That equipment is like an extension of your body. c) great video! (I ain't even 1/3 the way thru yet!)
My quarantine life is now late-night with Andrew and his machines. I've watched so many hours over the last 3 months that I'm considering buying a tractor bcz those things are hella useful
Have you bought a tractor yet?
My 2 year old son loves your vids. He can properly identify all the different machines but his favorite are the excavators. Thank you for posting these vids.
Skilled labor ain’t cheap, and cheap labor ain’t skilled! Beautiful work as usual !
3100 views and only 347 thumbs up are you folks for real is it that hard for a thumbs up, this guy's voids are great, never asks for thumbs up or anything else and less then 10% of the people who view can take a second and hit a thumbs up, wtf why even try making a good video thanks for effort ac
@Roger Loesch, Easy there Big Feller !
@Roger Loesch
Calm down sonny.
Thanks again for sharing another slice of your awesome life Andrew!
Mate. I'm in Australia, you do amazing work. You can tell the amount of care you out into each job. We need more people like you. Keep up the good work.
Andrew: I'm going to be a bit of a "Dutch Uncle" here. As a young man I worked in my fathers construction business running backhoe, six-way blade dozer and operating dumptrucks doing what you're doing. But do yourself a favour...find some nice open weave shirts that allow you to breathe and also protect you from the sun. Basal cell carcinoma can take years to show up and believe me I know. You are one of the hardest working young person I know but take care of yourself too. Love your videos and love watching your projects!
Love the new "transits" that are available now...we used to hammer stakes and mark with cross tees and make notation with magic marker. Things have changed and I must admit most for the better!
Frank Curley...You got that right. Only, Basil Cell is on a good day. I speak from experience X several...and no right eye either from it. SUNGLASSES everyone! With side guard protection too. Andrew, Be Careful out there!
The universe is out of balance with those different mud flaps!
It's funny how he upgraded everything, but was content with mismatched mudflaps....that would of drove me crazy at just the thought of it...
Would've (or would have). You're bothered by mud flaps, I'm bothered by grammar lol.
@@denniswinspear7478 your spelling drives some people crazy ;)
Wait 3 weeks and all is good....
@@denniswinspear7478 You don't have much experience with Andrew, if it's not broke he doesn't fix it.
Well, gentlemen, Andrew is doing what we all want to do, but we can't. That's why we watch his works. And he is doing them fine.
Greetings from Finland, Andy.
What can I say! Poetry in motion! You are so talented!!!! Peace and Good Fortune to you! Really enjoy your videos!
perhaps a smudge {levelling frame} attached to the front of the skid steer would be of use!!!
Good job Andrew.
I really like the honesty in these videos. Things don't always work out exactly as we expect, but they work out!
Watched every second of the 1 hour and 13 minutes, and I still crave for more ... that's quality content in a nutshell!
Andrew, your videos are much better than these made by Discovery about some miners or fishers. You can watch their videos for the entire season and see no progress. In your videos tremendous amount of work is done in just days. Well done! Amazing! Keep it up!
seeing a video posted 1 minute ago is so satisfying omg, especially from Andrew!
The lifting capability of that small Yanmar is quite impressive.
What about the log in the skid steer I don't know how much that skid steer ways but I was impressed!!! Ive lifted some big logs with my 12 tonne excavator's I don't know if my new machine would pick that log up at full reach! and the new machine is around 13.5 tonne....
Rob J and that was with a bucket that's about twice as heavy as a Normal dirt bucket. I particularly don't care for foreign things but they can sure make a hell of a piece of equipment. Like yanmar also why buy a John Deere for twice the price when they all use yanmar motors
Andrew tends to over load some of these machines, he likely hasn't had a catastrophic failure yet, but when he does he will likely regret it. I've seen some major injuries caused by people using these machines and the machines failed. I hope it doesn't happen, cuz I'd hate to not have him making vids, or have to do it from a wheelchair.
@@Rattlerjake1 if you ain't had her on her toes you ain't runna bitch....
Overloading and then breaking an excavator is almost impossible. Only thing that will happen in treework sometimes is the cilinders getting bend. But thats operator error. Hoses do break some times but often you catch them beforehand
I always have to remember that he does everything alone... andrew is simply a professional !
Not always, remember his new levels on his home and roof where his friends did a lot of work. Great friends I got to say. And the end results are like the best. Can't wait till he gets his Tesla track and start reengineering it! Oh Elon, you don't know what's coming. Terry
That was suppose to be 'truck'....sheeee!.
Love, love, love the drone shot of the tree work! Let's take care of that now (calmly, he says), as the stump proves how strong it is. Best weed puller ever! Yahoo to you, Andrew, from Dixonville, Oregon, home to nothing but cows, deer, both black and white tail, turkeys ( human and two-legged) and lots of wood. And EC, he lives here.
You, my dear, have excellent taste in YT channels. Different kinds of work, both masters of their crafts.
Thanks Andrew another great video , You keep making the videos and I will keep watching the videos.
Thank you for the video Andrew! Keep them coming
Thanks Andrew good to see you back really enjoy all videos take care from Australia🐕🦘
Jill, You have a great looking lot and a beautiful camper....And you certainly hired the right guy for the Job!
Andrew, Great work and thanks for another excellent video!
One off the things worth noting about Andrews videos is how good he is at camera angles, lighting, editing, knowing when to speed up the the camera. I've watched similar videos and if the editing is not right you just turn off. Andrew does a really good job with this.
I think Andrew is the best youtuber
drops camper, used wrong equipment at times, but at least the job got done. best? no, but funny to watch. just my opinion...
@@ROTTK9 but they aren't what makes a good youtuber, it's his effort to put out quality content and the fact that he puts out good videos that aren't full of clickbate. The amount of time it must have taken him to edit this full video, not to mention its recorded over multiple days where as most youtubers would just put out a crappy few minute long video daily.
Andrew is the best, fook haters 🚜
Yeah, the haters work shit jobs that make them miserable. Young Mr. Camarata has his own business, chooses his jobs, has a beautiful property, a house, atv's, a boat, jet skis, a great and loyal dog, friends, a good relationship with his dad, a successful RUclips channel, he's good at what he does and probably a lot more we never see.
Amen to that Scott. The haters are usually those that can’t do it but love to bitch and whine about the capabilities of someone else
For the Record: The clients who hired you got waaaayyyy more effort and results, versus what could be expected. Unreal effort.. You never give in!! Great job!!!!!!
Tough, multi-faceted job ... kudos to you AC for your efforts ... but my favorite part was the seed/straw/puppy portion at the end !!!
I never thought I'd see anyone do precision work with an excavator, but Andy proved me wrong. Good work young man.
I love how you put so much more content than the title say in many of your videos, man. Very nice, and very rewatchable.
Know its getting close to the end when Levi shows up🐕
quality control
and levi never misses a pond to walk through...
@KT - I was wondering when the vegan would announce his arrival...
Right across the road from the water. Nice. Great job on the interior of that old camper.
Rain Coast thanks! I designed the interior and my brother did all the work.
Great video as always. Lots of work for a little camper.
This guy, I swear, well not swear, or be blocked, but he fixes everything. Good job dude. Don't curse or be banned.
@16:30 I would say that 1/2 ton truck is just a BIT overloaded.
You see that screwed wood vertical extension on the sides? That adds at least 3 ton to its capacity if it was weld steel with 100% american design that could go up to 6.
I just really enjoy "working with Andrew"
😁 fixes a truck in the middle of a job!!! TY TY that made my week!!!
☮
thanks for doing 1 big video. any other youtuber would have made this into a 10-video series
This was oddly satisfying to watch:) Thanks for sharing this with us! Jill's explanation posted was quite a good read after watching the video in full. I would agree with most of the posters here that Andrew has surgical skills that most folks can admire. Keep up the great work!
The backbone of America!
Proof America is still great!!
Thank you for another spectacular video!!
Andrew Camarata the gold standard for RUclips channels
Joshua Porter Yeah, all that GOLD Andrew's accumulated doin' the repairs himself.
It's like a work of art and the editing is above par every time. Be careful dumping them logs out of the big truck. You're putting enormous forces on the truck with all that shifting weight. Stay safe Andrew.
You work miracles, Andrew. People don't understand the kind of work it takes to develop a lot like that.
..
I've viewed your vids for a long time now; enjoy every one. As a viewer, I thought it might be fun to try to pick the most useful tools/machines you have acquired over the years. This vid, which I have seen twice includes what would be my top picks: Yanmar, CL35 and the ten wheeler.
This guy amazes me all the time.😱 He does everything! Nothing is impossible to him. Keep on doing good Andrew.
Damn... I was just falling asleep and I noticed your video.. Now im gonna have to watch it again in the morning!!!
Levi: Good work Andrew, on to the next job.
You're a very hard worker Andrew Camarata. It's very encouraging to see someone work as hard as you do and then work on videos plus. Keep up the great work.
Hey Andrew your my favorite person ever on RUclips so glad I found you and like yoyr willingness for hard work and humbleness. I'm here in east tn.
Hi, Andrew. As always a great video and review of equipment that makes the work easier. Quick tip: when drilling, listen for the drill sound to go higher pitched, this means you are almost through and can ease off on the pressure. Makes the back side of the hole much cleaner. Hope that helps.
The guy with the beer gut helping to hitch the camper one-handed, with the obligatory beer in the other. CLASSIC! lol
THAT'S A BEER AND MEAT GUT.
Can’t believe you got that big log on that little trailer. Nice log stacking!
For real!! I wish he showed the truck pulling off.
That's what my wife says.
And who gets rid of fire wood???
@@jamewakk Has a pad built for a fire pit, gets rid of all the firewood. Haha.
I am surprised that the trailer carried those logs.
That yard looks like a legit campground, beautiful work man. Also the laser level tool on your excavator, brilliant.
Towards the end you sure had enough supervisors around. I liked that compactor, it looked old but sure got the job done. I really like older machinery, built to last and hardly ever break. Another job well done.
This dude’s amazing. Just started watching the channel, Instantly hooked. Good job 👏🏽
Warm this summer in Upstate... good to see you getting some nice work done! Great drone shots too!
I do love those warm NY summers hehe
👍👍. Glad to see another one of your videos! Iv been waiting all week! Keep up the good work!
Same here! im sitting at home with a broken leg and cant do any dirt work so i get my fix on Andrews videos. keep it up man!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOn
"been awhile since Andrew's posted. Hope everything's okay." Cue hour+ video upload. Hell yea, it's Saturday boys.
Took a while to get this edited.
@@AndrewCamarata We understand. Worth the wait.
Yes, well worth the wait!
Great job on the project and the video Andrew!
Why my face look like yours!!scary shit.

God bless you, Andrew, for your gift of patience and amicable customer relations !!!
I've watched several of this young man's videos. His workmanship is beyond his years. He always submits excellent quality video. Did anyone else see the hummingbird? Keep diggin!😎
I knew if I kept refreshing RUclips a video would magically appear!
So subscribe!.
I check everyday and have to be satisfied with Letsdig21 or one of those guys. Cottontop, etc. They only hold me over until Andrew posts a video.
Amazing! Hard working, high tech... Never ever dreamed of seeing laser leveling for such a job. Maybe a wrong impression but i do not think you enjoyed that much this Project...
Taught himself to level the ground using that laser.
Totally enjoyed it Andrew thanks for the video
Very interesting project. I don't know why, but i grinned like an idiot through the entire video. I love that the owner filled is in with all the details! Very interesting indeed.
I've been a nurse over 30 years and I swear Andrew has better feel and delicate dexterity than many Surgeons! Amazing skills
Awesome job Andrew and it's Levi approved. Doesn't get better than that. Thumbs up !!
Looking forward to the video on repairing the IHIs broken blade! As well as the sequel: Shouting Dads: a Tale of Beer, Darts and Potbellies.
Hello Andrew, you have done a fantastic job, it is good to watch you work especially you working on your own.......
Nice upgrade to the mud flaps. Maybe attach a magnet on the bottom of them and you could lift them up and out of the way by sticking them against the bumper or frame when you know you might pull them off.
I wish we had more people around like him. He can do about anything that is to be done in the landscaping operation.
I absolutely love getting this notification
True story ...
While sprucing up my yard ... used "Andrew" technique: dug out a couple pavestones around water faucet ... leveled everything ... neatly replaced dirt (scooping with hand as though an excavator)
"Job done ... alright, let's move on to the next one." ✌🚛
Who needs tv when we have this to watch,
Great work man
Piazzawoodworks, I still use a 25" tube TV. I watch more YT than TV. I may replace it someday so I can plug in my computer into the flat screen and watch YT on a big screen.
Nice.. love these old school campers,reminds me of my childhood camping in the late 70’s. The refab looks great. Good job on it! Andrew you do great work
I have not watch TV since I have been watching your channel. I worked in the engine room on ships for ten years, and just think it's fabulous work go about your work. this is now my favourite RUclips channel.
Excellent viewing, great excavator and skid steer skills.
Love the interior decor of the caravan 😃
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
Awesome video! I have gone through and watched every video you have ever posted from the beginning... can't wait for the next video. You always inspire me to work on things myself! I now have my own garage/repair shop for small engines and other things. Keep the dream alive! Thank You!
That camper scene was a little stressful, but Andrew handled it like a pro as usual.
Yes I don't think I've seen Andrew to aggravated but that one was pushing his buttons "whoa whoa" lol
Mad Titan I would have been very annoyed. When that other guy was using the pry bar he dented the chrome of his bumper
I used one of those twin drum vibrating rollers over 40 years ago .. it was fantastic .2" more compaction than a heavy whacker plate .
If there isn't a bare-bellied old guy around carrying a beer with a cigarette in his mouth, you ain't got proper supervision.
And BTW--That's with all due respect. I've been known to fit that description myself.
@@RickRose they come with the territory and are essential to getting the job done pretty much properly.
Seems when a guy is doing work they show up automatically 😂
For me most of the time it's my granddad tho, it's like he can smell me working or something
@@RickRose I'm guessing 9 out of ten people that watch these fit that description ,but I could be wrong .
I'm still lmao....Holler when you hit it....no that's close you've got about a foot, etc....
It’s going to be a good Saturday night, Andrew put up another video.
1:05:45 Cig, beer, pot belly, yeah!
Sure I'll help, hold my beer. Second thought ,I'll hold it.
NEVER LET A DRUNKTARD BEER BELLY GOBLIN TRY TO "HELP" ITS DISASTROUS
Very good thx for running a long U tube! So complete! THX
I do like that you dont edit out things going wrong like most people do.jobs dont always go according to plan. Equipment breaks,vehicles get stuck.it happens to all of us.nice job
If you had a job that was a continuation of the way you played as a child in your backyard and sandbox, it would look very much like what Andrew does wrangling earth moving equipment. How many of us would love to ditch our day office job and do what Andrew does? I get the feeling that there's a very close match between what Andrew would love to do and what he actually does. God bless Andrew and the way he takes all of us along for the ride.
