We took Consuela home, but went right back to where we got her to run some missions. She ran good, helped people out, and we made it home safely. Not the video I ever thought it would be... wild.

Consuela is a beast. I can't believe some of the spots we made it into this weekend. Most importantly she kept us and our passengers safe, no hiccups. I tell her what to do and she does it, couldn't ask for more. Thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to be able to help these people.
Did you hear about the pilot threatened by the Fire Chief?
Good job brother.
Couldn't have a better owner! Doing God's work Cleet, stay safe out there brother.
I’m in eastern NC. Can you get me in contact with volunteer crews for manpower? I’d love to help
So much respect for everything you've done to help these hurricane victims
He gets a brand new helicopter and immediately starts doing humanitarian missions. what a legend.
Perfect Timing!!
Absolute legend
Humble about it too, very pleasant to hear.
When God calls on you go with everything you have.
Best RUclipsr out there!!
Hey Garrett, I don’t know if you’ll see this message, but Chief Pressley from the SC National Guard (the pilot of the chinook you took a photo in) is a great friend of mine and I’d be happy to link the two of you up if you want to go up and get some flight time in one of their chinooks or Lakotas . I can sponsor you to get on base if need be.
Bumping this up
Bump this!

What you did was amazing, proud to call you a friend
Couldn't agree more!

Changed my perspective of the man.
@@MrBest4tyres K swapped heli? I'm in!
Quote if the year💅
Thank you for being here. You flew over us many times and it was awesome to see you helping.
You're proud of the machine, but the whole community is proud of you!
We made the right person famous.
It sure feels like it, doesn't it?
Amen
Absolutely
👍👌
Facts 🙏💯♥️
I know this comment will get buried but all of us in the East Tn/Western NC area really appreciates you and all the other pilots that came when nobody asked you to. We definitely made the right person famous, but I wanna brag on Maddie. What a wingman. The both of you just jumping into action no questions asked speaks VOLUMES about you guys as humans. I will forever be a fan of you guys. Do it for Dale, and for community.
Don't let this comment get buried !!
❤❤❤❤
Don’t let girth get buried
"GirthBrooks" Nice one bro 😂👍🏻
As a resident of WNC, amen
You got a grown man crying over here, I'm so damn proud of you bro. Do you know what Consuela means? It's derived from "to console" or "comfort". You brought massive comfort to these people. I believe God has blessed you and i hope and pray he blessed you even more. Great job Cleet, you're a good man!
Thats awesome,, “to console or comfort”
I cried like a baby it was such a beautiful thing this video is my new fav video he has ever done. Also wifey in the side seat is the best
When they rescued the baby I teared up also
AMEN!!!
You sir are a good man! Outstanding
Being one of the people you helped this weekend. I wanted to personally thank you cleetus! We all appreciate everything you done for for us! I got pics of that beautiful bird in the sky!
How do we get your comment pinned into a sticky at the top.
So cool you commented to let us all know. 👍 I hope you're doing ok.
Thanks for saying thanks!
What a lovely thing to hear
Cleet would need to pin it himself, only the channel owners can pin stuff. We can get it upto the top comments with likes tho. @@randywl8925
God bless you, I lost my home in Punta Gorda also Florida. Best of luck to you
this man is a legend. He spent all that money on that helicopter and then helped out US citizens who needed help. You are my hero Garrett Mitchell.
Watch our Politicians prioritize Israelis and Ukrainians
@@shawnkay5462your government is made up of isralies, who are trying to take Ukraine for themselves.
Bunting cloverleaf - greater israel.
Look into it
There are still good people in this country, looks as though someone somewhere just knows where to get them, no matter what we may believe, God does act in mysterious ways, hope he blesses these kind souls, they deserve it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR IMMENSE KINDNESS.
Well Buddy, after all you have just done with you Helico, for the people in need, you deserve another to back up this one, one that you can keep all for yourself. Than You for your Charity, God Bless You.
I don’t see him checking citizenship documents, just helping *people*, like a true humanitarian.
It is so refreshing reading some of these comments. They are clearly not bots, but in fact well written, intelligent, heartfelt posts by real folks. Gives me some hope for our country's future. Thank you Cleetus for bringing everyone together.
You may not ever see this message but, I am Hendersonville resident and a Henderson County Sheriffs Deputy. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much! We’ve been devastated and the help you and other people have brought here is awesome. Thank you again!
Stay Strong brother, Brunswick county went through it during Florence in 2018. Keep on!!
Northern Pickens County here. Not far from you. Lived in Travelers Rest all my life until recently. We are in Chimney Rock about every week on the bike.
I was in Hendersonville last Sunday helping a friend cut tress off her house. A small group of friends are headed back tomorrow morning to help out more. Stay strong we are here to help
thank you Sir, and thank him. SW Va.
I'm looking for truth, DID FEMA OR ANYONE ELSE MAKE YOU STOP HELPING?
Couldn’t ask for a better influencer we all appreciate what you do cleet
Probably the first time i can say i truly like an respect an influencer
@@cplusmcretiredwhats funny exactly?
Meanwhile where’s Dave sparks? Making ad videos checking out old wrecked a-10s?
I don't think Cleet can be called an influencer. There is a bad aura surounding influencers, so let's stay away from that label. He is simply a youtuber, a car person and just legendary human ;)
I dont consider cleet an influencer. Hes way more and way better than that word. He's a national treasure at this point.
I'm a grown man 41yrs old and I'm sitting 27:58 here with watery eyes watching this. The world needs more people like you. You took a chance on ruining your new chopper just to help us out up here in the mtns of NC. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE.
Im from Brevard NC BTW. we're about 30 miles S-SW from a-ville. We got pounded also. So thank everyone for the support.
Same here. American Hero. Him and Greg Biffle, and all the others, deserve the Presidential Freedom Award
You got that right
Same dude. Can't think of a more deserving person to have the success he has, and I hope it continues forever!
HE IS A LIAR. THATS THE SAME DAY TRAINED LE, FIRE RESCUE PILOT HAD TO LEAVE AN ELDERLY MAN HANGING OFF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN. You haven't shown me anything.
@@LindaKateskittle2lkns wtf you talking about?
I’m a truck driver ( one of many ) and I’m in Asheville delivering water to Missions Hospital.
I would like to thank you and your wife for all you did to help the people of Asheville.
I was a fan of yours before this . I’m definitely a fan for life .
Awesome job Cleet and Madi!! So proud to be able to call you guys friends.
Please reassure him we don't think he does this for clicks. He has footage that _needs_ to be out there, and he's helping in ways most of us can't.
For sure
Bro if you were in Hickory probably went over my house on the way. We were lucky here but can't imagine the scene going down I40 past Morganton. So awesome you are here to help.
i have never met any of you all, and can say I consider all of you friends.
You're so lucky to have Garrett as an actual friend.
As a cyberfriend of both Cleetus AND yourself, I thank you both for what you do.
(...but Cleeter obviously wins this round) 🤣
People like this man and his wife are what makes America truly great. GOD BLESS AMERICA
💯🙏
Well, the people anyway. Not the useless governmenmt.
God Bless you and may the Lord keep you safe✝️🙏🇺🇸
@@scaryfakeviruswho do you think organized the air space? Or supplies?
@@OPFlyFisher304 You need to listen to people who have tried to get supplies to the victims and have been thwarted by the authorities at every turn. Supplies have not been organised at all. Stop listening to CNN.
God bless you! I’m a 65 yr old man crying like a baby when I saw the footage of you rescuing the family with the baby! You and your wife are heroes!
I'm 40 and haven't even made it that far. 😢
God had a plan for this chopper.
Amen to that
Definitely a blurry screen video
Same here Brother, I’m 60 and crying also!! This is what makes America Great people like him and his wife! Put all aside and risk it all for people they don’t know but needed help!! Much respect to both of them and all the pilots that done this!! ❤
This is a youtuber with money and assets that does selfless good and its incredible to watch. Not just shelling out money to poor people for content, actually getting in the thick of it and doing real good. Youre a great guy.
Garrett, having served 24 years in the Coast Guard as a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer, I’d fly with you any day! Thank you for stepping up and serving this country and community. BZ 👍
Thanks for your service ❤
Im sure this means a lot coming from someone with your expertise!
Thank you so much for your service good sir!
Thank you for your service!
Semper Paratus!
As a former Army Blackhawk CrewChief/Mechanic,

I can’t think of a better way to “break in” a Fresh Bird!!! Way to go guys!!!!!❤❤❤❤
BTW, that was some incredibly excellent flying, in a HIGH STRESS environment!
Good Job Cleet!!
ft Eustis fckn sucks
He's proving to be a real bushwhacker!
It'd be even more sincere if he left the cameras and channel at home.
@@exothermal.sprocketare you mentally challenged?
@@exothermal.sprocketpipe down lil bro, you’re not the moral authority
Garrett after watching your Confined Area Approaches and Departures over and over, I can say, as a 4000 hr Army Instructor Pilot in OH- 58 A, C and D aircraft that your LZ recon and operations were as good as any Army pilot I have had the honor to fly with! You and your wife should be very proud of the way you took a blessing and blessed people you will never meet but will keep you both in their prayers for the rest of their lives. Thank you for stepping up and placing yourself’s in harms way for the sake of strangers.🫡🚁
I knew it! During a local news story about C-17s from Charlotte's Air Nat Guard delivering supplies to a nearby airport, I spotted a beautiful Blue MD500 in the background. I froze the frame and zoomed in on N42FF! and said, "Look, Cletus and Consuelo are flying relief missions in the NC Mountains!" Hell yeah Brother!👌
Proud to say him and Maddie are American. Well done. Incredible people.
God bless you and your wife from Canada . My brother in law is a retired employee from Ontario
Hydro . He flew down with a partner to help restore power . It is outstanding the help stories that came from private people . A big shout out to all of you for the hands on help .
We did hear about the substantial monetary donation from Dolly Pardon . God bless all of you .🙏
Another Canadian saying Thank You! You and your wife are two amazing people ❤
After spending so much time and money to fix up your helicopter, you finally get it and then immediately put it to work in less than ideal conditions to help out a bunch of strangers. You truly are a good man 🙏🏼👏🏼
Props to having a wife as selfless and determined as you. Probably the best co-pilot you could ask for.
Amen! It's such a great feeling to see Americans using teamwork to make a dreamwork. God bless these people.
She had her double phones going with her head on swivel! Excellent team of the 3 of you….pilot, co-pilot and machine!
she's one of those NON-ANNOYING women. They are rare AS F.
@@Al_Dente-d1pBuzzkill.
Agreed, many wives out there would have tried to stop their husband, but these two went out to help
You and your wife are doing what Americans do in the time of need. You two are American HERO’s. Thank God for folks like you two.
You two are American HERO’s. Thank God for folks like you two.
I couldn’t agree more! So proud of two Americans ! Wtg! Great job!
This must be the greatest experience to have in my opinion. Going out with the helicopters, delivering rescue supplies, making sure anyone who needs a lift gets one. You guys are heroes in my eyes. Same with people on the ground also trying to deliver supplies.
Madi needs a serious shout out! You may have the stick time but for her to pickup and go on short notice as a newbie, navigator, crew chief, loadmaster and ground support coordinator your young lady is incredible. Keeping your lunch down is one thing as the pilot but keeping her head on a swivel plus juggling comms and your surroundings is tough.
I noticed how dialed in she was! Outstanding crew and pilot!
Notice that too maddie was on point massive shout out too maddie and clet from being top human beings
Also as the mom needing to go help the other mom. Cleet was the right one to make famous, and he picked the right one to join him.
Solid communications and situational awareness - impressive stuff.
So here'z to Cleetus's
"Wingman" Maddie!
Attagirl!! 😎👍
Not all heros wear capes... some wear mullets... GREAT WORK MY DUDE!!!

That’s what builds America. Capable and competent citizens standing together and helping one another. Beautiful.
Amen, brother.
While the government sends more money to Israel and Ukraine and can’t afford more relief funds for your own country now.
Yessum
As a Veteran Helicopter mechanic watching this video, you have restored a bit of my faith in humanity. I have followed you for quite some time and finally Subbed today(sorry). Seeing you behind that cyclic and pushing the rudder controls to hit the small LZ's between power lines to infill and Ex fill so smooth with your wife by your side really tugged at my heart strings. The teamwork between you two for those landing is something to be proud of. Thank you for using your personal resources to help the people in need. You and your wife are wonderful people, and I hope you continue to be successful in all of your endeavors.
Putting your refurbished helicopter into rescue mode is a boss move. Great job, buddy 🇺🇸💪
Here's a Boss Move: The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. [Nahum 1:3 KJV]
Please don't ever feel bad for posting real life events. Most of the people who will complain about you doing this for views or "clout" are also the people who are doing nothing to help, you are an amazing person and that is why the fans of this channel choose to watch, always remember YOU are the person putting in a lot of this hard work and dedication we are just here to support you.
Bringing continued awareness (and support) to what the news will soon forget is essential
I am sure this post will grow the channel, even if that was not your primary intention. But that is a great thing, as all of us viewers pay with our clicks and likes, which is money that goes through you to the people that need help desperately. In other words, we all can use RUclips to make donations. Nothing wrong with that at all 😊
Yup, you don't ever diss people for helping, ESPECIALLY if you aren't. As the old joke goes, some people would complain if their nuts were in a vise. ;-/ We have Milton pointing right at my house right now, though the cone is large, so who knows, really. Took a tree @ 31k in Charlie, which is literally nothing compared to what some of these poor people are going through. We didn't have power for two weeks, but all the stuff that is really necessary to live was readily available, including gas for the genny. Fl seems to be more aware of what hurricane damage looks like, and we seem to be at least a bit more ready, and of course, we don't have mountains to contend with. I commend Cleetus, and everyone else up their helping out. What they DO NOT need, though, is all the channels I see recommended with, "We drove through such and such area, to see the hurricane damage". That is MUCH WORSE than useless, using up the limited resources that they have for sightseers. Those people ARE attention whores.
Agreed! Americans all over the country want a birds eye view to see what is happening because the national news sure isn't covering these stories with any detail. This is boots on the ground and rotors in the air!!! So thankful for heros like this! Thank you for helping so many in need. ❤❤
Cleet man, this one hits home. I am an airline pilot from Spruce Pine NC, a small town just outside of Asheville. All of my family still lives there and everyone locally is devastated. Seeing you fly up to help out means the world to not only me but everyone up there. So from the bottom of my heart thank you all so much.
Amen. I too have family in Spruce Pine , Bakersville, Burnsville. GOD bless you all.
Consuela is gorgeous ! God bless you for all your work when it was needed the most!❤
I just want to thank you for helping my family in Pensacola, NC. I can not find word’s except thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping this wonderful community. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WING WOMAN AND FAMILY,GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Amen
Damnit Cleet, you're gonna make a grown man cry. I'm so incredibly proud of you, you're one hell of a man.
was just saying the same
No shame in it fellas. It's touching to watch our guy do amazing work, especially when he doesn't have any obligation to
Brother this guys out saving new born babies, and I’m crying like one😭
He IS making a grown man cry........love it ....🇳🇿
Yea my eyes got watery too. Glad I’m not the only one. What an amazing human Garret is.
We absolutely made the right man famous. An amazing man Cleeter. Flew to a different state ONLY to help people in need, without being asked or asking for anything in return. Beautiful.
I hope that is a normal thing to do if people are in need 🙂
Here in Denmark it's a key thing in our culture 🇩🇰
@@sismofytter well, things have gotten gross, culture wise here. People only do nice things for the sake of recording it, so it would seem. Not to mention, the filth perpetrated in our culture.
He made him self famous fella. He did the work and due to that the people chose to subscribe. Keep it real
@@IANHANDSkeep it real. Despite the hard work he's put in, he still wouldn't be famous if he wasn't watched. It's not just him and it's not just us that made him famous. It's his hard work AND the community of fans surrounding him
@@sismofytterwe are a huge country. In many places, yes it's normal..
Your channel just popped up. I'm happy it did. I've wanted to see pics of what's going on. I live in Arizona. We have to deal with alot of wildfires. God bless you for helping these people. I drink about 6-8 bottles of water a day. When I see you dropping off water, I think how grateful I am that I don't have to wait for you to drop me off some water. You and your wife are good people! God bless you! Please be safe. Your co-pilot is the best co-pilot you could ask for! Good on you folks!
As an American and a veteran nothing makes me more proud of this country than to see people you sir coming together to help each other out in times like this. Total strangers willing to give of their time and money to help those in need in whatever way they can be in a small or a large way. We have our differences at times especially it seems these days but when events like this happen the country and the world gets to see what Americans hearts are really like. We love our country and each other and come together as one when it really counts. I salute you sir and all of my fellow Americans and those from other countries that are supporting these areas in their time of need. May God bless you all and keep you safe.
Very kind comment. Thank you for all you have given to our once great nation. You are appreciated.
Good feelings eh
some of those landing spots were totally sketchy....Unlevel and Tight. You didnt see him back down...Focused on getting help to those people. When FEMA has by orders from above used all the resources at the boarder.....Americans should remember this when they check the box in November.
Thank you for your service sir. And that goes to any service man or woman that may see this. If it weren't for people like you we would not be as free as we are.
Sadly Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and his administration did nothing to help these Americans in dire need of help.
Praise God for the woman who was so efficient getting directions and supplies and information together to get the help to those in need.
She is amazing....and so many city managers and mayors were trying to stop the helicopters. They should all be fired without pay.
@@carolynschatte2965 YES!
My compliments to your wife Maddy for being such a valuable real part of the rescue crew. A good pilot needs a great observer.
We are mountain people and we are very tough but this has brought us to our knees..I'm so very thankful for your help I promise that If ever you need us we will be there for you.I have tears In my eyes as I say this..Thank you guys so much.
Absolutely beautiful things you did here man. I’m going to try doing my best to help & hope to encourage everyone else to do the same 🙌🏽💪🏽
You gotta get into some aviation.
Thank you Gavin! Hope you and the team can help out as much as possible!
Crazy to see you here 🤘🏼😂
Crazy to know my 2 favorite channels support each other! I love it!
Love that my 2 favorite channels support eachother! You guys rock!
Garrett, bud, you look like youve been put through the ringer. Just remember that if you have any trouble following this, talk to someone. Im sure you saw a hell of a lot more than you want to say.
You and the wifey did a hell of a lot of good and should be proud of yourselves.
Well said 👍
^^^ THIS, I’m a retired veteran pediatric nurse, this catastrophic event and the widespread aftermath and unimaginable damage will affect anyone and everyone involved or impacted psychologically, PLEASE talk to someone, your life and existence are important, valuable and needed. 🙏🏻❤️
As a retired first responder it doesn’t make you weak or less of a man if you need to talk to someone. Believe me it helps.
🙌💕
What would he have seen that he needs to talk about? Far as I can tell he just saw a bunch of devastation to infrastructure and peoples homes, some families that were stuck at their houses for a while looking for some rides down the mountain. I'm not minimizing what he did, it's inspiring as heck and he's a great guy for so selflessly giving up his time, fuel, helicopter wear and tear... But it's not like he saw a bunch of dead bodies everywhere or anything traumatic like that. What am I missing here, if you all can tell me without ripping my head off.
Cletus, I’m proud of you and your wife for helping people in need with your helo. I’m a retired EMS Flight Paramedic with 30 years of service. It was some of the most rewarding and challenging missions to fly.
What you experienced is what EMS helo’s do everyday. What you did will not be forgotten by you or the ones you’ve helped.
Thank you brother and God bless you!
Thankyou for your service.
Hats off to you for 30 selfless years! Amazing.
God bless you and your wife for your heart of compassion.

Not the only one Brother
whoa... overcome with emotion watching Maddie give you a "clear" when you took off... seeing the bigger purpose of all the work you and your team did right there in that moment had this guy, me, tear up a bit.. powerful stuff Cleet!
He's absolutely killing it!..Wowza..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
Got me choked up aswell
I dont really ever comment on youtube but that moment especially stood out to me too. You can see how serious they were both taking it and I admire that a lot. For sure one hell of a person. I am not surprised by Cleeter's spring to action but if there was ever a doubt in anyone's mind over why Cleetus chose Maddie that moment should have erased it. Standup people for sure.
This among many other reasons is why if you hate cleet then that just shows there's something wrong with you and you're a jealous human.. We made the right person famous
@@viktur34 couldn't have said it better myself!
This is the difference between a content creator and a true influencer. I love all the car content, but when a person gives up their time and personal resources to selflessly help others in need, that's how you influence people. Huge props to Garrett and Madi for helping so many people in need simply because they could. Lots of respect to the other pilots and individuals that stepped up to make all of this happen so quickly. These are the kind of people that restore my faith in humanity.
Obviously FEMA needs the lady who had her stuff together for the choppers and had all accurate info!
FEMA doesn't handle food or supply distribution. They fund charitable organizations that do. It's crazy how many people don't understand that the Federal Emergency Management Agency generally provides management...not boots on the ground. Say what you will, but it's an effective system.
@@allenklingsporn6993it was far from effective
@@allenklingsporn6993Correct! They provide training, funding, and coordination for relief. They work by contracting and managing resources via their NIMS and ICS systems and they provide individual outreach for people to get initial financial aid and to help people to apply for grants and loans to rebuild.
Thank you for assisting, God bless you
Using Consuela to provide relief to the victims of Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC was an unanticipated but noble first mission for the newly renovated aircraft. Although it wasn’t intended for such operations, its use in this critical situation highlighted the positive difference it could make. Cleetus, putting it to use in this way was both timely and meaningful. Job well done to everyone involved in making this happen!
This gives me chills. Thank you. The woman with a 4 month old was one of my good friends’ best friend. We here in NC really appreciate all you did. I’ve been a long time fan for years and this really means a lot to us fans and especially NC residents. (Those tight landings you made are next level, I know Paul is proud too 😂). We love ya Garrett and thank you for this. Also big shout out to Co-Pilot Madi, what a champ. You both are amazing. ❤
Thank you for helping us up here
Thank yall so much for jumping into action & helping these people!!!!May God bless you!!!🎉❤🎉❤🎉
As a former national guardsman and Floridian. Appreciate you brother. Tremendously
Thank you for your service! Yeah so awesome of Cleetus to do
This is the most gangster stuff I ever seen man. Imagine taking off in your fresh chopper to an area you never been to, IN THE MOUNTAINS LOADED WITH TREES. Only a couple hundred flight hours, to save some people . This is what bravery looks like. Name a tougher group of people… I’ll wait. You guys are some of the most genuine people I have ever seen and it’s a privilege to be able to watch this channel.
Kid, you’re a badass. I’ve been a follower since turbowhistles and wooden driveshafts. I bet your father’s chest swells with pride when he speaks of you. You are a man among men.
A very proud father of his sons he is indeed
Absolutely!! Well said brother!
Well said!
As a former Blackhawk crewchief who has flown on countless search and rescue missions in peace time and combat, I promise you that you and the other civilian aircraft stepped up big time. Thank you for doing that. I have friends in that area that were helped by one of the other aircrew.

I’m in Spruce Pine NC. You and many others have courageously delivered life saving supplies. I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you for sharing you gifts and talent to help out! All of the private general aviation saved a LOT of lives those first few days after Helene. Western NC and Eastern TN thank you all!
1,000,000 % DO NOT hold back when doing content like this. We know your intentions at heart are nothing but amazing ! Love to see it and I’m sure a lot can say the same!
Seeing Maddie Clear you… and working with you, trusting you!! THATS A POWER COUPLE FOLKS!!!! True amazement that she trusts you enough to risk yours and her life to help other when you have 2 babies at home. Almost makes me emotional to see the bond you both have.
Well said sir... When the bond is real and this strong, it can move mountains and shake the earth.
Well said. They will always be successful with a bond that strong. 🇺🇸🦅🚁
The embrace she gives him to do what he loves and be there in even the toughest moments. Wow
Maddie was into it ❤❤
100%
I'm just now seeing/watching this video. Thank you so much for coming and helping us we needed it and still need it you are a great person Cleetus and so is your wife Maddie once again thank y'all for coming into our neighborhood to help thank yall.
Madi is a true MVP! The help spotting landings and helping folks was awesome to see. And of course Garret for devoting his time and resources to help those in need.
yes very important job
Hey man. I live in Swannanoa.. I’m so glad that you came to help. It’s very very appreciated that you were willing to help. And I work in a pharmacy. We’ve been struggling. We welcome any help we can get. Love you buddy.
Consuela is part Appalachian she was rebuilt in central Kentucky repainted in eastern Kentucky (Appalachia) then flew right back to Appalachia to help save the lives of many in need you all are great people with a great mentality and outlook on life
God bless you awesome Americans 👍🇺🇸
Bless all of you that help those who are in need.
As a first responder working on a rescue and recovery team since Friday evening in the Black Mountain and Swannanoa area, we all appreciate you so much. You have brought hope to a lot of families. Thank you.
Thank you and all the other first responders for your service it's people like you that make this the greatest country in the world ❤
I've not heard from a friend who lives near Collettsville on the west side of Johns River. Old Johns River RD.
Thank you for everything you are doing also.
Your wife being your extra eyes at 7:04 is nothing short of amazingly supportive. Don't ever doubt the love and support she has for you.
Dude has won the game of life. I’m sure he knows how lucky he is but damn their baby has an amazing life ahead of him.
THIS is America 🇺🇲 I'm so proud of everyone that helped and volunteered. Thank you!
I always believed that our fellow citizens would step up and help each other during a disaster. Thank you, and God bless you.
From booger sugar to life-saving supplies. The Venezuelan princess has seen it all.
😂❤
tbf that does have legit medical use.
@@breakupgoogle I've never seen bugle used as medicine? Codeine maybe 😂
From booger sugar to blood sugar.😂
That needs to be her caption on IG
This is what America’s all about. People helping people regardless of beliefs. 💪🏻🇺🇸
Yeah but tomorrow everyone will be road raging and getting drunk fighting again 😂
Hell yeah brother💪🏼this is why we’re great when we put our heads together as one
@MaNNeRz91 please don't think that way❤
not anymore unfortunately.
@@JasonAldeen-ln8gjit really mostly is lol. Thats just not what gets attention
This is why we all love Garrett. Brand new machine. Not a scratch on it. Puts it all aside and says just get out of my way the Calvary is coming in hot. This is why I am a subscriber and a fan Garrett’s. Family man. Community Man.
"Cavalry coming in hot" ...... nail on the head .... well said mate , g'day from Oz
I love seeing videos like this--good people helping people because they can.
Using your own resources to help people in need, is a top rocks move. You’re the best RUclipsr and human.
Hard not to tear up watching this video. A youtube celeb who came up in the ranks because of "the people" turning around and taking care of "the people". I'm so freaking proud of this dude, you have no idea! God bless you sir! Cleetus McFarland for life!
THANK YOU CLEETUS!!! from all of north carolina ❤
Showed up in Tarheel blue too🥹
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm in Gaston County NC we just lost power for three days and some trees down, nothing compared to what western part of our state is going thru, he just showed us he supports us just as much as we support him!!! 😢 good stuff 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
you are just good people and it's not like you didn't have any thing to do at home . but to take the the time to go help the folks that really need it is great. good job guys
Randomly started tearing up watching this. He wanted to realize that this is what America is. All these people that are volunteering their time to help others even when they're in bad situations themselves. Every single person in this video is a hero. This is what I mean when I say I love my country.
I absolutely love to see this "American Spirit" from far away - not f*** politics, war and crime 🤦🏻♀️ God bless you guys 🙏🍀 Best regards from Switzerland 🙋🏻♀️🇨🇭
Its people are lovable, it’s people.
This is incredible man. From goofy kid on 1320 video, to law school dropout, to one of the most recognized figures in the RUclips car scene, now to humanitarian. To no benefit of your own, you're out there helping people at your own cost with the resources you've gained from all your hard work. Thanks for being awesome brother! 👏👏
He also helped out with flood victims right after he built the jet boats. Cleet is willing to help wherever and however possible
The world needs more people like you Cleetus, your a good dude.
Millions left in America...many of us just need a chance to get out from under the thumb of the usurers that perpetuate debt slavery. Paycheck to paycheck folks would love to be able to leave work for a wk or 2 to help people out, but we got families to take care of too. Nobody paying our bills or filling our cupboards.
@@bobhemphut4011 right there with you on that.
I’m Canadian and see a lot of harsh videos of the States. This one shows me the true American spirit ❤ It’s nice to see you all come together in times like this. Thanks for sharing your video. It’s really good to share things like this and not for clout. Who cares if anyone ever accuses you of that. The world deserves to see Americans true hearts of gold not all these awful gun violence videos. Please keep posting the good stuff. It more truthful than anything else I have ever watched on RUclips. This is what I have always imagined people would be like in times like this. ❤
This brought a grown man to tears. This is why we support you Garrett, you guys truly are 14:24 special.
Same just gotta respect and love such amazing people as his wife and him
This is what humanity is, the best of it, our governments couldn’t disgust me more these days
Hi to Maddie, thank you for locating family with baby. I'm a grandma and it made me cry knowing they were safe.💖
I'm crying too. Thx from nw Asheville. Power bk yesterday. Internet bk 1 hr ago. Big fallen trees just missed our house. Feeling blessed. Y'all are heroes. Thx ✌🏻
Do not downplay what you accomplished Cleetus. You and your wife saved lives and have people hope. Few people in life get the chance to be amazing. God bless you.
Humble, another fine trait in humans.
This was more emotional than I thought, we're proud of a selfless influencer like yourself Cleet. Bless you.
Mad respect for you, Garrett. Not only did you take your spotless new helicopter out into the mud (and puke) from the get-go, you were a true humanitarian while doing it. You also showed that social media is useful for things other than hateful arguments and ego-centric "influencer" videos. You used your "influence" to help those in need and create some good in this world. And all the while you remain humble and thankful for the millions of folks who have supported you and your crazy projects over the past few years. You not only have an awesome chopper, but you've also got an amazing wife, family, and crew to go with it. Hell yeah, brother!
This is how a true American handles adversity! We share our victories, defeats, and catastrophes as a nation and should be there for each other in any way we can. Respect to you and yours Garrett you made a true difference. If only all with the ability to do the same would act the same way. You’ll always have my support brother!
Agreed - any politics aside, we should all be there for each other in times of need and be a united force.
this comment right here....Lengendary"
Cleet, anyone who would accuse you of growing the channel on the rescue and help of Americans in need wouldnt have lifted a finger. There are many people with the ability and resources that never left the couch. 1000s of fans are happy to have followed you in everything else AND the flying out to help those folks. Good on you brother!!!!!!!!!
Those people would be armchair coward liberals !
