Same. I did wince a bit hearing how his house and hangar are built to the highest hurricane rating and insured. Don't risk it! Get the family somewhere safe and fly back once the weathers calmed down.
Brother I would absolutely watch any hurricane prep or hurricane clean up content especially if I supports you guys. Stay safe guys I know your cars mean a lot to you but your life’s are infinitely more important.
@@macbook802 If you knew anything about Garret... You'd be ashamed to the core right now! Cleet is a genuine stand up guy who cares deeply about his friends and family. I've watched him build his life from the very beginning and he deserves all of the good furtune he has and more! Even Sam, a 80 + year old dude chooses to roll with Cleet and his crew for his remaining years. Everyone who works for him or with him is always smiling. This dude isn't pretending to be anything, He is just living his life to the fullest potential and takes us along for the ride... and this, for some reason seems to piss you off. Sad... I pity you sir
I wouldn’t say that I wouldn’t watch it but they need to focus on preparing their individual homes, with everything else. There’s a time to film and a time to be present in order to protect your family. It’s stressful enough when you’re looking down the barrel of Mother Nature’s gun, especially right after seeing what just happened in the mountains a few hundred miles north of them. We need to just be patient and watch them as they come and not put unnecessary pressure to put out content on top of everything else just because we wanna see what’s happening. Im not meaning all of this to be a dickish response, i just feel bad for everyone down there right now.
BE SAFE!! We aren't far and already are loaded with supplies if you guys need assistance after the storm! It's probably going to get pretty rough out there... Praying for everyone staying in the area.
Western NC resident here...Thank you for bringing your helicopter up here and helping us. 🙏 Praying for you, your family, and everyone in the path of Hurricane Milton. Stay safe. Hell Yeah Brother !!! 💪😎🏁🇺🇲

He has a team doesn't he? It is pretty impressive. My first home was out in the country living the dream. But after a few years, I got so tired of mowing and trimming and housework and crap. I couldn't even enjoy it. Even though my house was up on a hill over a large lake. I could've went fishing every day but didn't have the time.

My prayers are out there for the safety of everyone in the path of the storm. My friend just moved from Florida after the last hurricane flooded her family's home. My sister and her family in N.C. were very fortunate they weren't flooded. Thank you Cleet and the private chopper pilots that volunteered to fly in relief supplies and help save lives! You guy's and gals are true hero's. Thank you!
I have family and in-laws all around you guys. So far the news has been positive from them, minor damage, no power or water. But houses still standing, not under water, no injuries and able to reach out to give us an all good check in.
A million thanks for the help you provided here in NC! Prayers for you and yours with Milton headed your way. Glad to see preparations are underway. Stay safe!

Brother, I live in East TN right over the NC line, we got hit hard by Helene and just now being able to get on and see if you guys was alright as I was worried about you. And then I see that you came up and helped us and even saved some people. Brother I'm in Tears right now, a 36 year old man and I don't cry at all. You truly are 1 of a kind man, I'll praise you until the day I die. I hope and pray you all make it through Milton brother. Godspeed.
Sending major prayers out to you Cleetus especially after all that you have done to help so many others who needed help during the first hurricane. Be safe and know that you and your loved ones are in our prayers and we will continue to pray for all who need help!!!!!💝🙏
Im about an hour/90 minutes north of you right on the coast brother. Prayers for us ALL. ALOT of my neighbor's have already lost everything. Mine and my parents houses were lucky. Hopefully we'll be lucky again 🤞🏼🤞🏼
We are praying for you and your family's safety during this hurricane. You are truly a wonderful person, and we hope you all make it through this challenging time.

Play it safe Cleet, we can help you replace all the things you have. We need you, your awesome family and your amazing team around to fill our lives with laughter and love. Good luck
I am amazed that yourself and other youtube channels do everything you can to help. Government has to get mobilized but you have everything ready to help without thinking twice.
I have a few friends that live near the Freedom Factory. None of them are leaving. Im honestly a little disappointed in them. It's not like they're actually going to be working. Just be safe and head out!
And then they will blame Biden if it does happen, or the weather channel if it doesn’t. Blame game in the USA is abhorrent. The amount of people blaming people serving in the air force flying planes into the storm to track it, saying they are “cloud seeding to take out the red states” is disgraceful
Cletus uses his large platform to joke about storm payments going to Ukraine instead of putting down the awful comments our national guard and troops aren’t doing anything to help NC or “cloud seeding” Milton, ridiculous.
Right now there are no requirements to leave the inland Bradenton area. So why create more problems for those who have to evacuate right now? The roads are already jammed. Don't add to the problem.
Stay safe!!! if it is safe to do so and the eye goes directly over you, that may be some real good footage. Thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family, and all the great people that participate in making this RUclips channel as amazing as it is. Y'all are a national treasure!
I was in clearwater, florida yesterday, helping out with the cleanup from the first hurricane and they made us go back home to Texas. I should be going back Friday or Saturday to help with this hurricane. Hope you guys stay safe and my prayers are with you.
Stay safe Cleetus and all those in the hurricane path. Remember things can be replaced. Lives can't. Wishing you all the best from Melbourne Australia.
Hope everyone gets somewhere safe! I know this is a stressful time but ti was nice to see you guys still have a little humor in it all. Gotta stay human to stay alive!
Hang in there Cleetus. I know you and your family and your crew have big hearts and big wallets that you open for your community. And its nice to see you getting more done to help folks in need more than DC ever could.
Praying for you, your family, your friends and the freedom factory crew. Be careful of the water. Katrina put 26 ft into our house. Wind didn’t hurt. Please be safe

Hope your affected minimally stud, so you can get back out and use your infrastructure to help others. Let us know if and what we can do to help! United We Stand ❤ God bless guys.
I grew up in Tampa and we always joked about riding out every hurricane, but some are just too strong and hit you too directly. Looks like you're as prepared as you can be and have good contingency plans. Stay safe and can't wait for the update once the storm has passed! Also, absolutely loved the North Carolina disaster relief video. Never worry about posting content like that. Your fans know you have a huge heart. It was powerful and emotional watching you , and all the other awesome volunteers, helping in ways many of us can't.
Following this Hurricane from up here in Canada... Stay safe USA brothers and sisters ! There is no shame to quit the area, safety first for your families. Sending prayers !
Thank you for everything you've been doing for the community and surrounding states! The content is just a bonus to you being a good guy! This is EXACLTY the reason I have never had hesitation buying merch, going to events and supporting this channel. Stay Safe!
It's crazy you find yourself in this situation after doing the amazing work you did helping the mountain communities in NC , TN & VA last weekend , best of luck with Milton
You, your family and all the crew will be in our thoughts, Cleet! Do whatever y'all have to do to stay safe. Toys and other things can be replaced, y'all cannot. Hoping the next video is an update of everyone safe and sound!
A video from the eye if it hits the freedom factory, but main thing is keep everybody safe, the channel wouldnt be the same if we lost anybody. Take no risks for content, take no risks period!
I was in corpus for Hurricane Allen. lesson learned 44 years ago. 9 foot surge, ~270 dead. max minds 190 mph NEC8215. we just did our job from the UH-1N. Invest in a roof parking area or MOVE. Best of luck
Cleetus I have a close family member about an hour north of you and they are battening down too. You and your family and the crew and my cousin will be in our thoughts and prayers for this one. We live in wildfire country out west, I know what it is like to face stuff like this.
Cletus I hope you, the family all the guys and the cars will be safe! If it’s bad I hope the new developments get hit the hardest and loose there permits or just get flooded out! For real though I hope it doesn’t turn into much and blows over, be safe everyone.
Hey, brother, hopefully you and your family's doing okay down there? We're just checking in praying for you guys down there. Hope everything went well with the hurricane. Stay safe 🇺🇸
I really hope you do keep us updated with even short videos. I've been checking tracking and everything just because of y'all. I would totally like to see a few videos a day until this is over.
Prayers go out to you, your family & everyone else who has been through the crazy storms down in the lower 48. Being as I've lived in North Pole, Alaska my entire life I honestly can't believe how you guys pull through and clean up again & again. The worst I have to deal with is -65*F in the dead of winter and that's only for a month or so. Which is a walk in the park compared to what I've seen happen just to you alone. God bless you & your Amazing family (which includes your entire team) And I hope the next update is as uneventful as it possibly can be (in a good way, if that makes sense)

Man make sure yall got enough stuff for at minimum a week of no power, the lineman are getting stretched thin rn so no guarantee you’ll have power back very quickly
Love
It’s a Cat 5 hurricane. You’re looking at potentially dying.
@@mattv18930it has reduced thank god.
If you haven't already...get cash now!
My prayers are out there for the safety of everyone in the path of the storm. My friend just moved from Florida after the last hurricane flooded her family's home. My sister and her family in N.C. were very fortunate they weren't flooded. Thank you Cleet and the private chopper pilots that volunteered to fly in relief supplies and help save lives! You guy's and gals are true hero's. Thank you!
I have family and in-laws all around you guys. So far the news has been positive from them, minor damage, no power or water. But houses still standing, not under water, no injuries and able to reach out to give us an all good check in.
A million thanks for the help you provided here in NC! Prayers for you and yours with Milton headed your way. Glad to see preparations are underway. Stay safe!
Stay safe. Hope all of you make it thru without loss

@macbook802 or he genuinely cares?
@@macbook802Did he “pretend to fly” to North Carolina to help that hurricane? Did he “pretend” to collect 100’s of toys every year for toys for tots at the annual Christmas tree drag race he holds? What a dumbass thing to say…. Gave you 2 examples in 30 seconds.
@@DukeGang11does he do double the amount of pollution at every event to any kind of good deed hes ever done. Does he advertise draft kings on a kid friendly platform?
@@macbook802 He does more for his community than probably 90% of his subscribers combined the money he brings into his town is astronomical and not to mention when something happens he’s out there helping not for clout because his community means something to him go be a Debbie downer somewhere else pos!
Gather your babies and fly away. It’s gonna get weird. I’m hearing some parts of NC got 40” of rain in 12 hours. Prayers for all! Much love
Cleetus. bro. from your Helene search and rescue efforts in Consuella to providing crew staging on your property, I am even more impressed and that much greater of a fan.
SAME HERE, bless you all. praying you will be safe
Wishing you the best from Black Mountain, North Carolina. Thanks for coming to help our community!
Ditto from Blowing Rock, NC.
Stay safe keep you all in our prayers!
Brother, I live in East TN right over the NC line, we got hit hard by Helene and just now being able to get on and see if you guys was alright as I was worried about you. And then I see that you came up and helped us and even saved some people. Brother I'm in Tears right now, a 36 year old man and I don't cry at all. You truly are 1 of a kind man, I'll praise you until the day I die. I hope and pray you all make it through Milton brother. Godspeed.
Sending major prayers out to you Cleetus especially after all that you have done to help so many others who needed help during the first hurricane. Be safe and know that you and your loved ones are in our prayers and we will continue to pray for all who need help!!!!!💝🙏
Isn't god in charge of the weather?
God bless you for helping NC brother! Praying yall stay safe!
Im about an hour/90 minutes north of you right on the coast brother. Prayers for us ALL. ALOT of my neighbor's have already lost everything. Mine and my parents houses were lucky. Hopefully we'll be lucky again 🤞🏼🤞🏼
We are praying for you and your family's safety during this hurricane. You are truly a wonderful person, and we hope you all make it through this challenging time. From the Willman family to yours, please know that we are here for you. Your selfless contributions to others, even those you don’t know, mean more than you can ever realize.

NOT AGAIN . PRAYERS FROM MICHIGAN ! 🙏
My Michigan brother!
Michigan on top
Good thing he knows a guy with a helicopter. Stay safe everyone!
Fellow Michiganders, hello from the Thumb
Hello from West Branch!
I am amazed that yourself and other youtube channels do everything you can to help. Government has to get mobilized but you have everything ready to help without thinking twice.
I have a few friends that live near the Freedom Factory. None of them are leaving. Im honestly a little disappointed in them. It's not like they're actually going to be working. Just be safe and head out!
And then they will blame Biden if it does happen, or the weather channel if it doesn’t. Blame game in the USA is abhorrent. The amount of people blaming people serving in the air force flying planes into the storm to track it, saying they are “cloud seeding to take out the red states” is disgraceful
Cletus uses his large platform to joke about storm payments going to Ukraine instead of putting down the awful comments our national guard and troops aren’t doing anything to help NC or “cloud seeding” Milton, ridiculous.
Seriously. If I lived there and had an RV like that, I'd be LONG gone.
Right now there are no requirements to leave the inland Bradenton area. So why create more problems for those who have to evacuate right now? The roads are already jammed. Don't add to the problem.
@@AB-80X I'm talking retrospectively. I would have left days ago.
Stay safe!!! if it is safe to do so and the eye goes directly over you, that may be some real good footage. Thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family, and all the great people that participate in making this RUclips channel as amazing as it is. Y'all are a national treasure!
I was in clearwater, florida yesterday, helping out with the cleanup from the first hurricane and they made us go back home to Texas.
I should be going back Friday or Saturday to help with this hurricane. Hope you guys stay safe and my prayers are with you.
What part of TX? I’m originally from the Clearwater area, but been in central Tx for the last 20 years.
Might see you on the road then. I've got family over in Tampa, and I'm planning to go that way if it gets bad.
Stay safe Cleetus and all those in the hurricane path. Remember things can be replaced. Lives can't. Wishing you all the best from Melbourne Australia.
Keeping everyone in Florida in our prayers from Texas! Be safe y'all. NO ELECTRIC VEHICLES INDOORS
Or Generators lol
why no EVs indoors?
@@neonicecube908 the batteries catch fire in water
Hope everyone gets somewhere safe! I know this is a stressful time but ti was nice to see you guys still have a little humor in it all. Gotta stay human to stay alive!
Hang in there Cleetus. I know you and your family and your crew have big hearts and big wallets that you open for your community. And its nice to see you getting more done to help folks in need more than DC ever could.
😂😂😂
Prayers to you and your family and Florida... Stay safe!
Y'all stay safe down there! Old Milton is back to a Cat 5, so hold on to your hats.
I really hope your family and team are doing ok. My prayers go out to all of you guys
Looking forward to your updates. Thank you for supporting us in TN and NC.... BE SAFE!
Praying for you, your family, your friends and the freedom factory crew. Be careful of the water. Katrina put 26 ft into our house. Wind didn’t hurt. Please be safe
Yeah. Wind does hurt when it carries a projectile at 150+ mph, but water? Different story. As they say, hide from the wind, but run from the water.
From all of us up here in Northeastern Washington we’re sending all our Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the storms path. Hope your affected minimally stud, so you can get back out and use your infrastructure to help others. Let us know if and what we can do to help! United We Stand ❤
God bless guys.
I grew up in Tampa and we always joked about riding out every hurricane, but some are just too strong and hit you too directly. Looks like you're as prepared as you can be and have good contingency plans. Stay safe and can't wait for the update once the storm has passed!
Also, absolutely loved the North Carolina disaster relief video. Never worry about posting content like that. Your fans know you have a huge heart. It was powerful and emotional watching you , and all the other awesome volunteers, helping in ways many of us can't.
We on the way cleet! Lineman out of texas leaving .mobile this morning
Following this Hurricane from up here in Canada... Stay safe USA brothers and sisters ! There is no shame to quit the area, safety first for your families. Sending prayers !
Get everything ready and get out! Be safe. Thinking of the whole crew and family.
Thank you for everything you've been doing for the community and surrounding states! The content is just a bonus to you being a good guy! This is EXACLTY the reason I have never had hesitation buying merch, going to events and supporting this channel. Stay Safe!
It's crazy you find yourself in this situation after doing the amazing work you did helping the mountain communities in NC , TN & VA last weekend , best of luck with Milton
Prayers from South Carolina for everyone in Milton's path. 🙏🏽
Praying for everybody in all affected areas of Milton as well as those that are still feeling the devastation from Helene. BE SAFE!!
You, your family and all the crew will be in our thoughts, Cleet! Do whatever y'all have to do to stay safe. Toys and other things can be replaced, y'all cannot. Hoping the next video is an update of everyone safe and sound!
Our prayers are with you, and as much as we can donate financially to the recovery, we will. God bless.
Prayers to cleet and the crew.

Video the storm an whatever happing maybe a live stream if you still have internet an things get interesting
A video from the eye if it hits the freedom factory, but main thing is keep everybody safe, the channel wouldnt be the same if we lost anybody. Take no risks for content, take no risks period!

Cleetus I have a close family member about an hour north of you and they are battening down too. You and your family and the crew and my cousin will be in our thoughts and prayers for this one. We live in wildfire country out west, I know what it is like to face stuff like this.
Cletus I hope you, the family all the guys and the cars will be safe! If it’s bad I hope the new developments get hit the hardest and loose there permits or just get flooded out! For real though I hope it doesn’t turn into much and blows over, be safe everyone.
Be safe. Praying for everyone in the path of Milton! You have a great attitude and smart to make sure you have "backups"!
Hey, brother, hopefully you and your family's doing okay down there? We're just checking in praying for you guys down there. Hope everything went well with the hurricane.
Stay safe 🇺🇸
I really hope you do keep us updated with even short videos. I've been checking tracking and everything just because of y'all. I would totally like to see a few videos a day until this is over.
After the month you've spent helping people, I hope others are prepared to do the same for you when the time comes. God bless yall and stay safe 🙏
Millions of us are praying for the area. I'll be watching
and yet the storm didnt stop. go figure.
@@13christbaneit’s not going to stop fool. We pray that no one gets hurt/killed
With you brother. Disregard "why does evil exist" commenters. God bless you
@@Ken72142 so... god will protect the people who pray. but wont just stop the storm. got ya.
Prayers go out to you, your family & everyone else who has been through the crazy storms down in the lower 48. Being as I've lived in North Pole, Alaska my entire life I honestly can't believe how you guys pull through and clean up again & again. The worst I have to deal with is -65*F in the dead of winter and that's only for a month or so. Which is a walk in the park compared to what I've seen happen just to you alone.
God bless you & your Amazing family (which includes your entire team) And I hope the next update is as uneventful as it possibly can be (in a good way, if that makes sense)

First - thank you for ALL you and your buddies did for Helene victims. We appreciate the supplies but more important, we thank you for caring from your heart.
Second - Prayers for all of you. We will be continually praying through the night. Hope regular Americans come to your aid.

Unfortunately i think this is going to be really bad for the Bradenton area, especially the tracks.. Tampa hasn't been hit like this in almost 70 years. REALLY hope im wrong
