Just to let everyone know, I didn't put the ATV in the bucket for a VERY good reason. The SANY slides on many parts of the trail and if I had to use the bucket to hold the excavator from sliding, I would have destroyed the ATV, also I used the SANY to fix parts of the road so having the ATV in the bucket would really be a problem... Thanks everyone for your comments!
I was just thinking that he should have drug that old faded green truck box that is behind him at the top down to the pull out where he was saying it would be nice to have a shed. That's pretty much a pre made shed that is ready to set in place, and the Sany would make short work of it.
Worked industrial and commercial construction for 51 years. You are a very hard working individual. I was impressed with your construction skills. Your pride in your work stands for itself.
Allan seems like you Dave and Dave The whole crew are really good people setting a good example like your fixing the world by just being your selves so Bravo !!!!!!! God Bless you
Al, you are very inspiring to be doing what you are. I have been binging on all your videos since l watched the initial discovery on HeavyDsparks. Be safe!
Well done sir, on your midpoint you were talking about putting a shed for tools what I was thinking about was putting a little wood stove and a little room with some little bit of food and a little bit of water in case in the winter if you get storm and you're coming up the hill and something breaks I don't know what the weather is like out there but when it's cold it'll suck it out of you quicker than anything just a thought you remind me of one of my family members that I lost a couple of years ago and he was about his wild and unconventional as you. It's almost nice to see a glimpse of him through you. You have a good day. Thank you Bob from Virginia USA
I watch sparks motors watch them when they came to your place the first time your an amazing hard working man your place is amazing and Dave is blessed having you on his team you have amazing knowledge love your channel and content Dave is from watching him on t-tube is the biggest hearted man I’ve ever seen please tell him for me y’all don’t change god bless
Hey Allan, can u do a beginnings video. I am mostly interested in your mindset all those years ago, before you bought the mountain. What made you do it, how did you find this spot (and why) Are you a prepper or dooms-dayer? or is this more of a legacy project?
Alan if you take those boulders from the pullout and lay a small rock wall near that sluff zone when the stuff sluffs it will back fill and make a nice back wall for a shed. That SANY sure is nice...
It's a awesome miracle that you met Dave now we can see you on both the channels doing some exciting work And as always you are good at everything ✌🏻 Love from India ✌🏻✌🏻🔥
I’m feeling there is RUclips gold here. Some clever editing and video labeling and we have some great shorts. ‘How to get an excavator out of a hole ‘ etc
Park a truck down at ur lil pull out with a cap on the back so u can keep some half way point tool s and supply s or whatever u might need at the half way point ,
Once the gravel/dirt seam is emptied it will make an excellent cistern(water storage). Snow and rainfall could help fill it and any overflow could be dammed and use to water a nice big garden. A solar powered submersible water heater would keep it flowing in winter.
Alan, Love the videos ! I have a friendly suggestion: build a cage/ framework for the atv that would hook over the counterweight of the Sany. You could make it to where you could drive it on, using ramps that would flip/ fold up out of the way with a simple locking mechanism. That way, you could operate the Sany down to bottom of the mountain and then unload the atv and go back up to the top fortress. Just a friendly suggestion, that’s all. Looking forward to binging on the rest of your videos !
Good morning Alan nice to see you again. You had my jaw dropping when you turned that cab around and backed your way out of that hole, I have to admit I'd thought of that but I didn't think you'd actually do it. Silly me. As for having to walk 45 minutes from the bottom to the top wow, if you get the Sany back again or if you get stuck in that position again with your other excavator you might want to consider putting the ATV on the excavator bucket somehow or hanging it from the excavator bucket and just taking it with you as you go down or up so you have it with you... just a thought. Anyway I'm going to get back to watching you shovel your concrete and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
Oh hell! I was only watching on video but, when you started going through that gate at the top and we could see how close to the edge you seemed plus that very steep drop off and having to skid around that turn even wider because your gate stuck out as well, I was gritting my teeth half expecting to wind up starting to skid off the edge! You've either got a pair of grapefruit down there or are crazy, that had me terrified and I'm only watching on a pc later. Sorry your river gravel seemed to peter out. Could it be running in a different direction maybe? Ancient river beds might not follow the same path as the natural cleavage planes of the bedrock so maybe it's there, just not where you were looking this time.
You've got a really awesome compound Alan. Working out there by yourself always try to be careful we want to see you continue this project for a long time to come 👍☮️🇺🇲
Nice to see a other Al working , what are you doing whos land is this , are you looking for gold or ??!M nice how many acres do you have lol,I’m a junker , and I to have an excavator of my own ,an ol 2800 link-Belt , it crushes my car like you can stomp your foot on aluminum can lol nice thanks BigAl California. That was a good house boat rescue lake mead , lol !! Thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen
Wow. It looks like trying to move any earth on that kind of terrain is just violent as can be. I never realized how lucky I am to live in an area of thick soft dirt where the only real problems are the occasional giant roots
I gotta admit Alan. That was pretty impressive getting out of that hole. People don't realize how hard that is. I've seen allot people damage machines trying stuff like that.
Yo allan my guy. You should start selling off some of those truck. It's obvious by their tires that they are just being left to waste away. And there are so so many that people could be saving..
Hey alan love the videos and all the stuff you do. Do you have a po box people can send stuff too? I have a spare chest sling for action cameras that I'm sure you could get to work for your videos.
Not too bad you have some pretty good excavator skills you're an awesome dude I was going to make some donations to you a while back but the thing about it is that I'm jobless I'm hurting you work for an awesome legit man and and you got us some s*** going on so you got some cash I like me empty pockets
it would be so cool to see if there’s gold on the lower section and dig a tunnel to your fortress two birds with one stone or atleast have a underground tunnel from your fortress to the lower area
the tracks have foot pedals for a reason... switching your hands back and forth instead of just becoming accustomed to the controls makes zero sense to me. especially when climbing adverse terrain. if you're anywhere that a machine can unexpectedly slide or tip and you aren't on the controls you aren't in control.... mid slide over rocks isn't a great time to be letting go of boom control to run tracks.
Couple questions Alan * What is that rock around your land - sandstone? *Was it not possible to secure the quad to your bucket and take it down? * Have you considered 2 cameras for better editing? For example when you set up the camera outside of the Sany, perhaps it would have been good to have the 2nd one with you in the machine? You don't have to run both cameras all the time. Just when you need to. * Have you considered some simple options for mounted cameras so you can keep your hands free? Here's a link about what I mean - ruclips.net/video/L27YS7l5kso/видео.html Meanwhile, another cool video!
In order to use 2 cameras he has to edit. Like he said he's just learning this thing. I've been doing videos for over a year now and learning how to edit just using my phone. I did one video with another camera and edited it to work. I bet he doesn't have much time to edit seeing that he has so much work to do just like me. I don't have time in my life to edit every video.
@@chefshadetree3972 I understand. However, Cam2 would only provide short-period footage, with most still coming from Cam1 - keeping editing time down. And he now works with HeavyDSparks who has a team of videographers (including drone cam). I'm sure they would lend a hand until Alan can find a Cam-Operator offsider. Videos (and their quality) are the lifeblood of RUclipsrs subscribers. Alan is really starting to gain popularity and momentum now - and with that disastrous fire even more will want to help him. And good video (coupled with great stories) will be the #1 way that support will flow in. And he deserves it.
@@gideonporter537 I'm pretty sure Alan probably wants to do it on his own, like me and figure it out himself. I'm also pretty sure that Heavys team has plenty to do themselves and probably maybe offered their services to Alan. Some people like to do things themselves. It's hard to video and edit, I'm learning that myself. I need a team to help me but then I'm not big nor have the money to pay somebody. I have about 1/4 of what Alan has and I'm busy all the time doing something. This heat isn't helping my progress either lol
So funny how he makes a dank turnout on that trail and then he immediately wants to put something in that open spot. Which is meant for a turnaround spot lol. Really interesting guy
Me too, but as I watched him work and viewed the area around him below I realized how hard it must be and remembered exactly how old I am and I knew since I was tired just thinking about it I couldn't do it anymore at this age so watching is the best I can do

It's the first time I've caught you video and subscribed. Wow what loverly seenery. I'd be afraid of your trank down, I'd make it wider. Thanks for the video.
SANY is sure noisier than a rocket ship flying off into heaven. It does it's job well rather than having to use a spade and manpower LOL!!! Great job SANY it was great watching the Wizard hard at work on that noisy machine but it was interesting. Wizard you really need your wand so you don't forget to look after yourself e.g. water, water, everywhere but not a drop to drink LOL!!!
Yes! Hire a camera man and editor and you will quadruple your subs overnight! Everyone loves dirt work. Especially kids! You could grow this channel to a million subs with the right editing. Time lapses are the key to this kind of content! Keep it up! We all love it!
Hi mate I’m in Australia Tasmania and I just want to say keep your dreams real when shit gets real you just use 3ply in stead of single ply toilet paper .......fire is just a Hurdle not a show stopper ...hey look at this way mr evil kanivile wasn’t stoped by fire nor will you .....as we say in Australia Bugger........but we will continue to strive and survive let our kangaroos run wild! Love your vision love your dream create and continue to run wild mate . Kindest thoughts all the way from the little island Tasmania.
In the emergency pull-out if you got a small box off like a delivery truck just like a 8'x10' that could make a nice tool shed/break area ! Are you interested in someone thats retired & looking for a place to stay in exchange for rent ? I got my own rv & am looking !
Extremely inspiring watching you man I just started watching Dave a few weeks ago and when I saw the videos today of ur compound I was blown away! Hope to see more videos of this place it truly is amazing!
I know this is an old video but Alan what's your plans for all the cars ,trucks ect ? I'd love to know or does any of you guys know, It's put my OCD into turbo power I'd need to have a plan to clear the place or just arrange it better just to audit what you have, there must be a few bucks laying around with all that stuff, can someone please please!!!! tell me his plan or I'm going to have to fly over from Scotland to sort that place out😂
Sorry to be commenting on an old post, but I'm just catching up with the Wizard's origin story so to speak. I wonder if one of the ebike companies would be interested in sponsoring/providing an ebike for the mountain? It would sure make the trip up and down easier when solo ferrying vehicles and equipment, and with the terrain and altitude change it would highlight the ebikes strengths, and easy to charge up on a couple solar panels.
Maybe set up a solar charging station at the turn-out area. You could utilize a OneWheel Pint or electric fat-tire mountain bike stationed there or hauled up and down with you on a tractor or ATV. Then ride when you need to. A personal jet-pack is probably a little too pricey at this point.🤪👍 You’re clever and resourceful. You’ll think of something. Cheers.
Now all I can visualize is Al up in a motorized power pack flying the skies like Superman, The landings would be a little tough if they were emergency landings all that rock and all but wow what a visual
Hello Alan watch your post great work. Your windows need to be stalnless steel or steel. Aluminum windows will corrode. Because the two metals are dissimilar, upvc or wooden framed windows wood do the trick you could use an epoxy inhibitor. I hope you read your comments Allan best regards!
I was just wondering since you have an excavator why did you not swing your four wheeler up in the bucket and carry it down and then you could’ve driven back up to the top? Kind of seems like a no-brainer.
You could’ve put your ATV in the bucket or hanging from the cable drive it back up save you some time but you won’t get your exercise thank you Allen for your great mountain top fortress would love to come help sometime
Just to let everyone know, I didn't put the ATV in the bucket for a VERY good reason.

I would love to see all your vehicles at least run
The worst part of sending a machine back is that all the sudden you realize all the things you should of done while you had it

Yeah seeing this video after d Sparks video of helping Alan
@@timvandijknl Wizardry?
@@lotharschiese8559 Alan's go-to catchphrase is "totally wizard". It's an older version of "cool" or "awesome" 😁
Totally agree, the Sparks Motors family is growing and now we have Matts off road recovery as part of the family.
I’m feeling there is RUclips gold here. Some clever editing and video labeling and we have some great shorts. ‘How to get an excavator out of a hole ‘ etc
I hope he doesn't start doing shorts, there too... short.
Not to be offensive, but nobody cares about shorts 🤣
You should find a good spot and build a cement pond up there just for extra water, in case of a fire or equipment, or too even purifie to drink.
Alan you could of tied the four wheeler to the bucket and carried it down with you. Ain’t that heavy lol.
Park a truck down at ur lil pull out with a cap on the back so u can keep some half way point tool s and supply s or whatever u might need at the half way point ,
Yeah, and some extra water! 💦
What an adventure Alan, be careful and don't overheat.
I was going to say the same thing, Alan you should ALWAYS keep water in ALL of the vehicle's on the property, and in the excavator!
Once the gravel/dirt seam is emptied it will make an excellent cistern(water storage). Snow and rainfall could help fill it and any overflow could be dammed and use to water a nice big garden. A solar powered submersible water heater would keep it flowing in winter.
That Dave Sparks seems to be a good friend to have.
I would’ve drove the mountain truck up and hauled the ATV back down.😅
feel like hes just making a bad ass capture the flag mountain top 50vs50 paintball fortress.
Love the fortress ..Alan your the wizard ✨✨✨
Alan, Love the videos ! I have a friendly suggestion: build a cage/ framework for the atv that would hook over the counterweight of the Sany.

Keep up the good work! Great video! How did you acquire so much stuff it's amazing! Your friend from Tennessee 🦌👍
Make the best of it as per. Thank you, for sharing your steadfast work ethic.
Nice moves with the Excavator. I was scared as shit watching that and looks like your doing that shit alone. Your nuts bro!
Wait a minute this ain't work he's having a ball . Good on ya Alan 👍😎👍
Just hook the atv to the bucket and carry it down 😆
I gotta admit Alan. That was pretty impressive getting out of that hole. People don't realize how hard that is. I've seen allot people damage machines trying stuff like that.
Would been alot easyer if he used his feet to cat with 😅😅
Hey Alan someday do a video with you inventory all your junk so we can all see your true insanity thanks in advance..
You are such a joy to watch Allan.
Nice video! Hopefully you are doing well!
Tenacity, persistence, self motivated, what a concept!
Great video Alan. btw Could you strap your atv to the bucket and carry it down?
How much of the collectors items were on property when you purchased?
That’s a lot of collectibles ( trucks, wheels…).
You need a drone !
Yo allan my guy. You should start selling off some of those truck. It's obvious by their tires that they are just being left to waste away. And there are so so many that people could be saving..
I'm just glad you are OK. Hope all continues to do well for you.
Finally another video, I was waiting for too much time :)
Hey alan love the videos and all the stuff you do. Do you have a po box people can send stuff too? I have a spare chest sling for action cameras that I'm sure you could get to work for your videos.
I think he was saying that he has one of those already. I'm pretty sure that's what he was using while he was at the controls of the excavator.
Not too bad you have some pretty good excavator skills you're an awesome dude I was going to make some donations to you a while back but the thing about it is that I'm jobless I'm hurting you work for an awesome legit man and and you got us some s*** going on so you got some cash I like me empty pockets
it would be so cool to see if there’s gold on the lower section and dig a tunnel to your fortress two birds with one stone or atleast have a underground tunnel from your fortress to the lower area
Have u tested any more/gravel for values ?
You are an awesome person. I respect you sooo much. All the best with your projects. Kind regards from Fiji my friend. Take care
That is a nice-looking machine you have there. Looks like it hasn't seem much action in the quarries.
Alan, if you park a side by side in the pull off shed you can go get the tools either way, saves walking.
You need an ice making machine on top of mountain.
What’s up with them four tires beside that red atv Four wheeler
the tracks have foot pedals for a reason... switching your hands back and forth instead of just becoming accustomed to the controls makes zero sense to me. especially when climbing adverse terrain. if you're anywhere that a machine can unexpectedly slide or tip and you aren't on the controls you aren't in control.... mid slide over rocks isn't a great time to be letting go of boom control to run tracks.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that was thinking this. He was beating the snot out of that machine too 😂 ouch. I bet Dave skipped over this video lol
almost at a million total views on the channel lets go buddy keep the uploads comin
Ever use a railroad tie between the bucket and thumb to grade with? Works awesome!!!
A large log works even better. Use what you got or can get!
Alan, could you rig a sling and hold the atv from the bucket and take it with you so you don’t have to walk up, that is a steep climb
That is a smart idea, to put a shed there for tools you may need.
You could put a spare ATV there too for emergency transportation
@@devrabiallas1292 or even park one of the extra trucks there!
I could be preaching the obvious here. But, why not use the Sany to haul the quad down?
I was thinking that too
Several others have mentioned that too, and I'm thinking that is a pretty good idea!
That Pepsi sounded good as hell! Let me go get one!.
HOW MANY ACERS DO YOU OWN ON THE MOUNTAIN ALEN AND HOW OLD ARE YOU.
Thank you, Dave for helping Alan out with the use of the sany. God Bless
Why didn't you carry the ATV down in the bucket?
It won't fit in the bucket, but he could chain it or strap it to the back of the bucket.
Wait, the sany has a broken window..?
Hope its there. The sand and gravel will help out big time.
Saying goodbye to a sany Is a very good thing.

Extremely inspiring watching you man I just started watching Dave a few weeks ago and when I saw the videos today of ur compound I was blown away! Hope to see more videos of this place it truly is amazing!
Does anyone know of any other channel like this? Apart from Bret at Cerro Gordo? These guys are literally living my dream.
I know this is an old video but Alan what's your plans for all the cars ,trucks ect ? I'd love to know or does any of you guys know, It's put my OCD into turbo power I'd need to have a plan to clear the place or just arrange it better just to audit what you have, there must be a few bucks laying around with all that stuff, can someone please please!!!! tell me his plan or I'm going to have to fly over from Scotland to sort that place out😂
I have a decent GoPro I wouldn’t mind shipping to you if you would like to have and use it? Great content brother, let’s chat!
Oh Boy, a spare camera! Lights, camera, action!
Sorry to be commenting on an old post, but I'm just catching up with the Wizard's origin story so to speak. I wonder if one of the ebike companies would be interested in sponsoring/providing an ebike for the mountain? It would sure make the trip up and down easier when solo ferrying vehicles and equipment, and with the terrain and altitude change it would highlight the ebikes strengths, and easy to charge up on a couple solar panels.
Straps and a bucket ride for the ATV??? Beats walking all the way back up!
Ah yes hydraulics. Whe God said "Move The World." Man said "Give Me Hydraulics!"
Maybe set up a solar charging station at the turn-out area. You could utilize a OneWheel Pint or electric fat-tire mountain bike stationed there or hauled up and down with you on a tractor or ATV. Then ride when you need to.
A personal jet-pack is probably a little too pricey at this point.🤪👍 You’re clever and resourceful. You’ll think of something. Cheers.
Now all I can visualize is Al up in a motorized power pack flying the skies like Superman, The landings would be a little tough if they were emergency landings all that rock and all but wow what a visual
Hello Alan watch your post great work. Your windows need to be stalnless steel or steel. Aluminum windows will corrode. Because the two metals are dissimilar, upvc or wooden framed windows wood do the trick you could use an epoxy inhibitor. I hope you read your comments Allan best regards!
I was just wondering since you have an excavator why did you not swing your four wheeler up in the bucket and carry it down and then you could’ve driven back up to the top? Kind of seems like a no-brainer.
You could’ve put your ATV in the bucket or hanging from the cable drive it back up save you some time but you won’t get your exercise thank you Allen for your great mountain top fortress would love to come help sometime
😎👍 next time sling atv to bucket no walk back 😅
i appreciate you putting the camera on a stationary tripod because a head mounted camera makes me motion sick
I'm 71, an Aspie, that visual overdrive in trying to focus, almost puts me on the floor, like your in freefall, with no parachute!
@@lotharschiese8559 what do you mean by "visual overdrive"? the fast camera movements when someone uses a head-mounted camera?
Alan you have a fortune in aggregate. It can run from 14 to 30 smack a rue's per ton in my area. Consider yourself fortunate.
Hey, build a fence/guard up yer mountain trail, as people travel the road, as they go up or down!!!
Congratulation on your 100K that was sweet. Nice!
