Good People Helping People. Sorry, but I just don’t see goodness - or badness - stopping at country borders. No insult intended, just my own Reality Check on what i believe to be the common humanity of people helping where there is need. Which seems to be ALL OVER the WORLD during these times !!
@@RideFaster Not many have heard that Trump DONATED $15 MILLION to the recovery. Unconfirmed at this stage but I would say it is in his nature to do that. The man for the people.
I'm a old crippled man in far Northern Idaho and you boys have made me so proud and pulled tears outta me. Mercy me ya'll's blessings to others are a true blessing to our Nation! I am praying 🙏 for you and everyone and giving thanks to God for such men as y'all. Thank you
@johnevans1969 I'm as old as dirt, and I've NEVER been so proud of my fellow Americans in my whole life. I'm happy STRONG men are there to help these folks who are in dire need. 😎 I sit here watching men work in deplorable conditions out of love for our country, and I pray for each and every one of them. Maybe I've lost my mind because I'll sit here in OK and watch these men work for HOURS. I'll be donating to local churches or fire departments monthly for the rest of my life. If Jesus tells me to buy the winning lotto ticket, I'll rebuild some of those places myself. Our government has failed us in every way. We must help each other and get back to our Christian roots; it's the ONLY way God will bless our country again. Trump/Vance 2024 eM 🖖
Thank you to everyone who has donated time, money, supplies and prayers for all of us in western NC. My husband is a wounded warrior and we have three young children. We have run supplies from local residents to tornado victims in oklahoma and other states in the past, and it feels strange to now be in need of help. Our American citizens are some of the best people on this earth. This is the definition of community❤❤❤❤
You may want to talk to your neighbors about acting more welcoming. Volunteers have brought support and supplies, but after being treated like unwanted pests they left taking the donations to the northerners in Florida!! Which is sad. The only ones that wanted them were the drug addicts in Asheville. They only wanted high dollar items they can resale 😢. Maybe they will be forced to get clean, but they are stealing from the dead just a week in.
@@SassafrasPaul-cq7uw the people of NC are dealing with PTSD. If you have no understanding of that don't go try to help. I detest doctors who assume people in pain hurt and are cranky so they label them an 11:24 d walk away. No wonder people go to the street!
I love the way these videos work out. Sean does all the work, we watch, he makes money, to continue to help. Great use of the platform. Doing what an actual christian should do.
Asheville resident here. I'm gobsmacked that so many beautiful men are rising up to do God's work and to help this traumatized community. God bless you many times over for all you and everybody have been so generously doing and contributing!
@@judithmcdonald9001 1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
I have a few dead friends and one missing cousin. Our home was spared and i feel grateful. So many people have came into WNC wanting to help. This situation compared to the way people acted during COVID lockdowns is like night and day. Thank you for what you're doing
Frank You can't compare COVID to a hurricane. The reason people are acting differently is because it is a different situation. Everyone was doing what they could during covid and now they are doing what they can during a hurricane.
Hey I just wanted to tell you that I live in the city of Asheville and my bandmate lost his entire home and I really appreciate what you’re doing in our community thank you so much!❤
My husband and I just returned from Weaverville,NC, made a trip down from West Virginia with box trailers full Of supplies. Traveled with a young man, Brandon Ledford, who lives in our area but grew up in this area. Our drop point was T Birds in Weaverville, it’s not a church or school Or fire dept, it’s a bar, and I was overwhelmed by what they have done inside with the room they have. So much supplies for all or anyone who needs them, and what a system they have assembled. Maybe if you’re near there, you could check them out also. God bless you all for doing all that you are 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I been wondering about Weaverville ..I go there a lot to Blue Mountain Pizza and Wellbread Bakery ..I am about an hour away over the mountain in Tennessee..I hate it so much for the good folks of North Carolina..Thank you so much for helping them ..God Bless you
@susieroot8213 That's a beautiful story, and thanks for sharing with us. It's important for our country's healing to hear and see the love of our fellow citizens on full display. We don't need the government's money/control. Trump/Vance 2024 eM 🖖
Thank you to those mule owners volunteering too! WE built America on sweat, tears, and the willingness of these beautiful animals gifted to us from God to be our partners.
Just got back from SC doing tree work for the lineman. The people in the areas I worked were incredibly nice and offering food and drinks. By the time we left almost everyone in the area we worked was restored with power, so hopefully it’s getting better
Most places do have power now, but there are some that simply won't have power for months. The ground itself has changed, so they'll have to completely rethink how to do it.
I am in tears but happy ones. To hear that man say they would help them rebuild was a miracle I wanted to hear. Bless all those who are committed to those affected. I knew no one would have insurance so the worst was possibly to come . Thank you thank you. Praying for all
That Mark 3 husqvarna you gave that guy in the end is awesome. When he was talking about him having his Craftsman saw and he is out there with it. I hope it serves him well. Thank you guys for what you are doing.
You guys are awesome. I donated to Mercury One. They claim 100% goes to the people. I'm learning a lot from your videos. And even though I'm on the West Coast, I'm building my knowledge and supplies for when the SHTF here. I just wanted you to know that what you're doing creates huge ripples! Even if we can't be right there, your info lifts up and educates all of America. Keep it up.
I donated to the NASCAR group 100% to NC + TN . They sent trucks and rescue helicopters for rescue. Also Y'all Squad. Will continue to donate. All those who can, please continue donating. This is a long haul.
Hurricane Helene Airlift Rescue out of Statesville. All money and supplies 100% to Helene victims. They are doing air drops, Rescue, and recovery all on their dollar or donated resources from others like fuel supply for the planes. Matt and Joel also decided to create United Carolina Calvary. A nonprofit to continue this work now and in the future. They were some of the first ones in helping from Statesville airport. Also teaming with Concord, Hickory, and Indian Trail airports.
This was the verse of the day on my Bible app, how great is out God! Isaiah 6:8 says, "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me'". This was the exact verse I was hearing in my head watching this!
So neat watching this. I passed that Fruitland Baptist every day going to my highschool. My parents live about 15 minutes away from there and finally got power yesterday (2 weeks to the day). The power company that fixed their lines were from Canada.
Yeah my buddy is a lineman from Arizona. His company got sent to North Carolina and now he's headed to Florida to help get power on. Crazy the places people are coming from to come together but the government isn't helping as much as they should. My tax dollars pay for stuff like this.. They're seriously dropping the ball.
@@Chris.Rhodes The government arranges assistance from power companies (all utility companies needed) all over the U.S and from other countries. Whenever there is a storm that is likely to cause widespread power outages, assistance is sent in from other utility companies. We had several additional utility companies in WNC before the storm hit due to the disaster declaration. This is part of FEMAs job. They brought them in along with additional DOT crews.. (They had additional first responders here as well.) They are the primary point of contact for utility companies. Several people really don’t know or fully understand what FEMA does and that creates misunderstandings.
@@pollysshore2539 Hmm... I'll have to look more into it. From what I'm hearing (i guess it's misinformation or something then) FEMA is denying help, and doing things to hurt helping people. I know some of what they do, but politics should never be in between helping people. But yeah, I'll have to research some more into what's actually going on. Thanks for the info!
@@Chris.RhodesOne thing I’ve heard several people say that has been a bit boggling is…. Why isn’t FEMA here fixing my power? Why isn’t FEMA clearing my road? The guys you see restoring power and cleaning your state roads - the power companies and department of transportation - are there because of FEMA. They know better than that! They know who works on utilities and state roads. Some are just wagging their jaws and stirring the pot (and someone needs to tell Lisa to stop gossiping). ** oops. almost dropped my phone and accidentally hit send. The amount of damage done is catastrophic. Infrastructure has been obliterated in some areas. They will keep bringing in various crews from all over.
Yeah! I can tell the novelty is definitely wearing off--the adrenaline of crisis. It's the long pull now.and budgeting rest, peace and quiet is important. The road is endless, after all. As an earthquake victim I know the feeling of trying to find stability in a shifting world. The earth will settle some more. The temp roads look good!!
God bless you all. I live in Mitchell county in western NC and videos just don’t do justice to the extent of the damage. The water peaked at over 26 feet on one of our main streets through town. Generators are badly needed, the nights are getting cold and some people in the higher elevations are being told it’ll be months without power. Again god bless you and everyone who has supported western NC through this. If anyone has lost faith in god, humanity or the United States just come to my area and the amount of volunteers, donations, and overall kindness you witness will reaffirm your faith.
I give you huge props man. You really are the best hearted RUclipsr I've seen I feel like. You have spent tens of thousands of dollars helping people it seems like and I love it wish I was in a position to do the same. So many millionaires and Billionaires who Im sure have did nothing to help but help themselves. You are truly a godsend brother keep up everything you do man!!!
So cool y'all saved the diamond Chainsaw for y'all's new friend who showed up by himself because he got a calling from a higher source. Thank God for men like all of you ✓
You guys are being a great example of being a decent human being. Helping your fellow man no matter race, politics or creed is something to be proud of
As someone who's volunteered to help people in these situations, I just can't have anything but respect for your actions. I'm glad that you're giving of yourself to help those in need.
It’s so awesome to see those generators with scripture written out on the side! You guys are amazing 🤩 God bless you and multiply the results of your efforts ❤
It's good to see so many giving,compassionate people helping our fellow man in this difficult time.Thank You to everyone involved in this effort and away from home as they do their best !!!
Hearts With Hands in Swannanoa NC is awesome! I have supported them for years and they serve US and even global connections. They pre stage for hurricanes and are boots on the ground within hours for tornado relief, fires, floods. I am 68 and I have never needed support like this until now. I am so grateful for any and everything. Proud of you! Be safe! Oh yes get to know your neighbors if you don't already!
Reminds me of World Central Kitchen. They go to disaster areas all around the world 🌎 to feed people traditional food in the local area they're assisting at the time. Always lifts my spirits when I check out what they're doing. 💙🇱🇷
People are AMAZING man, social media has cast a fake curtain upon society but when you get out & around real folks especially in situations like this folks absolutely SHINE. Amazing, fills my heart man god bless yall and god bless the USA.
Amen, this is who we really are in rural areas. We help each other and that's how we make it. We pay favors forward and help someone else in need. Most ppl I know would give you the shirt off their backs and a seat at their table. I've had strangers I never met pay for a tow truck to get us home when the car broke down and they wouldn't let me pay them back. I didn't have cash on me and they took cash. We are often the forgotten, but when we help each other we all make it. ❤
Suggestions: 1) mechanics to repair tools/generators etc 2) display what types of skills that teams can be compromised of 3) could more mule, goat or horse teams b of help? 4) could milk goats be brought to remote areas that need to feed babies
On goats milk for babies - it’s not a complete nutritional profile, it needs to be fortified w some different things. I’ve got some farmer friends in touch w folks in WNC in case a momma wants fresh goat milk ❤
In a pinch for temporary, goats milk is better than nothing. And mothers you can often restore a milk supply if you nurse for a few days. Just saying it works on supply and demand. Our bodies are well equipped to feed our babies. 😊 Our milk is totally designed to be what's best for our infants if you need to.
@@metalmamasue3680Reglan (metocloprimide) increases prolactin in mom. Prolactin is necessary for milk production. Feed mom a good diet, plenty of fluids and dose Reglan. Put the baby to the breast to stimulate milk production. This method is used by adoptive mothers to facilitate breastfeeding because Mother's milk is the way to go.
It’s amazing how the people of the South have come together to take care of our own communities. After witnessing it personally, and then all the videos and posts, it really is amazing. You’re appreciated bikes and beards
If I was just a little bit more financially stable I would 100% be there to help in many ways, Im a handyman and do just about everything. If God presents a way for me to be there I will but I am definitely praying for everyone. My hometown with all ny family and friends just got hit again on the coast of SW Florida too. I just want to say for everyone helping God sees your hard work, thank you.
@@mjmartinez3244 Thank you, God bless you too! I am blow away by how real God is I just looked at my verse of the day on my Bible app and it was the exact verse I was thinking about watching these videos! Isaiah 6:8 says, "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me'".
The Bible verses on the boxes lifted my spirit so much 🥹 The Spirit of God is powerful, real and is meeting needs through his children. Good work guys 🙌🏼
This is what America is truly about and what we were built on! People working hard to help one another. I wish I could help but I have some health issues. It is just so good to see people really helping! Thank ya'll so much!!!!
Bless bikes and beards for helping out everyone in North Carolina. You definitely already have your wings buddy. Walk right pass Peter because you are already in the best Club.
We are not saved by works but by grace, the free gift given through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ to atone for the sins of those who will repent and put their faith in Christ.
I have volunteered with Samaritans purse many times. Great organization. Have been to New Orleans three times, Tuscaloosa twice, and Nashville on rebuilding trips. Been to henryville, in, Washington, Il and Sullivan Indiana immediately after the disaster. They’re are such organized and that is why I volunteer with them.
one thing i love about what y'all are doing is y'all are not waiting to be told what you need to do-y'all take a lead in finding things to do that can help!
@@judithmcdonald9001 absolutely right. his first video was like that. can't always just show up and try to help without direction or knowledge. but glad they were able to help now that things are a bit more organized
I don't even live in the US but seeing good people like you, raises my optimism in mankind. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. God Bless
There are always bad people everywhere. But there are alot of good people in the US. People that would give you the shirt off their back if that was all they had.
I just gave what I could to calvary chapel. Thank you for showing me where to send my money. I have been holding off because I wanted to make sure it's getting where it needs to go. I wish I could volunteer, I love on the coast of nc, but I am disabled. If you can think of something I can do that doesn't have me on my feet too much I'm there!
Re: Title I feel like it IS getting better. Look at all the honor, sacrifice, heroism & love pouring in from caring citizens, churches, businesses, organizations, linemen, first responders, local fire-police-sheriff’s personnel. I’ve heard National Guard dropped in somewhere by helicopters with guys & heavy machinery. Not to mention RUclipsrs!! Communication is rocky, but will get better. This video was packed with practical takeaways for managing expectations & how to navigate connections to interface in the most efficient way possible. The journey put a really fine point on the many “why’s “ behing the “what’s” of that insight. Visionary contribution that will multiply blessing many times over. Epic! Keep praying 🙏 If Fed government is there, anywhere, it would sure help if they would invite some of the youtube influencers volunteering to film & report on their work.
The federal government is here. In droves. They don't care about their reputation. The only people criticizing them are 1000 miles away. If you're here, get with FEMA, don't let some punk across the country with political aspirations ruin your life.
@@hereseangoes Thank you for your reply - that’s good to know. I haven’t heard anyone but locals & dedicated volunteers sharing their personal observations. Everyone has a different piece of the puzzle and with communication still coming online, each can only speak to what they’ve seen in their limited deployment zones. It would be helpful to see Fema’s broader efforts because it’s amazing to see the kinds of things happening at scale that are impossible for volunteers and NGO’s to accomplish. I feel like the story of citizens sacrifices and government’s capacity partnering would be a great narrative. What Fema did in New Orleans was front page news… easy to get behind. It’s not unreasonable to want those optics, to understand Fema’s work in real time in real time and make informed conclusions about it’s present effectiveness. I’m not suggesting it’s not there. It’s FEMA, right? I It’s what they do and I hope it’s epic too. I’d just like to be able to see whatever it looks like rolling out…Personal preference - no disrespect intended. Every boot on the ground there counts in this critical time. By now there’s certainly videos out there. I’ll go look around. Thx again for your balanced reply. 👍
Adoptive family is an incredibly great idea. I think you need to just do a whole separate video on that they can go viral. As so many people want to help but you don’t know how this is the solution to the problem. May the Lord bless it and grow it!
I love this idea, brilliant! I know the churches there know where help is needed and you guys are truly a blessing. I am subbing to your channel to help support your work. It sounds like communication and coordination of all help centers would be an efficient way to make the most of the supplies on hand. You did an excellent job redirecting supplies where they were needed most. The idea of adopting a family is great. It is similar to the idea of “wrap services for an individual or family.” In social work, it is forming a team of professionals to work together to meet the needs of the family. Families are matched to services providers. This helps getting the right services to each particular family and avoids duplication. - retired social worker from Alabama.
Sean, you guys are Earthly Archangels! So happy to have found your channel! Your organization/friends are helping to save the victims & motivate those who "hear" the message "Love thy neighbor as thyself!" Praying for your organization, your families, victims, survivors, etc.!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
♥ Your heuristic journey in the process of lending aide in WNC is a _master-class_ for us urban people who have no idea wtf we would do in this type of situation. Very inspirational. THANK YOU B&B ! Real men.... doing real work..... GOD BLESS 🙏🏼
Thank God for you men to help these people. I live in North Port Fl. We have been in Ian in 2022, Helene & Milton just 2 days ago. We are seniors, most of us haven’t even had roofs, carports, metal all over the place. We’ve had water surge . We had all kinds of contractors , volunteers,some will scam people like it happened to us. I am praying 🙏 for you men to send you to the most important places that need help. 🙏🙏🙏
you're the only person to actually make me question my own agnostic beliefs, just from the strength of your belief and the good you do in the name of it, keep it up you beautiful humans
look hard for truth, God bless you I your efforts, its a war and we could use you. evil= lies- Jesus truth and freedom, Christ came to set the captives free.
BEing Agnostic doesn't mean one isn't a GOOD Person. It simply means they haven't figured out God yet. When it's our time, God Reveals Himself .. in a way which is right for each soul. 🙏
Native Ashevillian here. The biggest problem isn’t supplies, it’s rebuilding the main waterlines. The pipes didn’t just get hit, they are completely gone. Civil engineers are working in tandem with construction contractors to dig and put pipes in place as fast possible it’s complicated because of height differentials. Going up and down mountains with half-ton pipes isn’t something that can be done in a few days. The second is that trash pile up, rubble is in such remote places that it’s either incredibly hard to clear and clean or impossible because it’s inaccessible. I guarantee you’ll be seeing destroyed houses along Yancey county River sides probably forever. We don’t have a lot of money around here except for Reynolds mountain and Biltmore and they keep to themselves. A lot of those people have their second or third homes in those places. Edit: I’m in no way at trying to deter what y’all are doing, it’s good work. I just wanted to inform everyone of the current situation. Also, there was a pvc manufacturing plant that leaked toxic chemicals into the French broad so a lot of the clean up was postponed till the EPA comes in. If you do any near River clean ups in the future. IE River arts district, Marshall, please wear 95s and PPE!
Nobody thinks about all the stuff running under city streets. Water mains, communication lines, electric lines, Natural gas lines, sewer lines. When all that is ripped away with severe flooding, it becomes a logistical nightmare. Stone and gravel and dirt has to be replaced to make a road bed first to even begin to start replacing the said type of pipelines . In clean up of areas that are contaminated, even mold can become an issue. Full respirator and hazmat PPE should be worn. You do NOT want that touching skin. I've been in flooding. Been there done that. Prayers from Wisconsin.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thanks for the info I hurd about the toxic spill but in all the videos I've watched I never hurd anything about the under infrastructure being destroyed and it definitely never crossed my mine
Loved your video! You all rocked it, to God be the honor for everything you’ve done! I’ve been praying for specifically my plan in NC. Your video was super helpful to me!
As someone who has been in the situation these folks are in. Thank you for helping. Having people show up that care enough to help you out with anything means a lot.
Just so you know Sean. You are welcome to be as late as you need on the OCC bike build off. You are doing vastly more important work. God bless you and your team.
A word from someone who has been through some serious flooding and seen some terrible things: If you're going down to help, bring everything you need to be self-sustaining. Often, assistance groups, despite their good intentions find themselves dropping supplies, chainsawing all day and into the night, then become a burden on the community they came to help as they haven't brought their own food, water, tents or campers etc. Where we were in 2011, there was nothing left but ruins, so bring everything you need down to bathing water and toilet paper.
There's a surprisingly ample amount of resources in the area, I can confirm this. I was there. Stores are stocked and at this point getting things in is no problem, it just depends on which direction you come from. It's getting things to specific houses or neighborhoods that can be challenging.
True, most people in the USA are not very good travelers, they just throw money around. There is a system of protocol during emergencies and so many people do whatever they want without co-ordinating that it slowss things down. It's good to see some semblance of organization going on. People still complain. at first that it's too slow. That happens every time. I worked in prosecutions and like every drunk driver had "2 beers"
I highly doubt anyone down there receiving aid will ever consider the basic needs of the volunteers a burden. You sound like the kind of person that would rather have robots doing the work.
In rural areas, we are each other's helpers and supporters. It's truly a beautiful thing and I wouldn't live anywhere else. Also it some of God's prettiest country on earth. ❤
The videos pull in a lot of money, more subscribers and donations. It's a win-win, and It's really about the time, energy and making sure things get to the right people that really matters here.
@@sharoncrawford7192 Helps so much, been in a huge disaster myself. 1998 ice storm, smack in the middle 600,000 people without power, water in the middle of winter, then flooding when it melted :| We just got to work and helped, I didn't have power for 4 weeks.
How many people are still missing? Some say 1,000, others say 2,000. Thank you for stepping up and helping in time of need. So much devastation and heartbreak. But North Carolinians are a strong-kind hearted, God fearing people. That stand with each other. And will prevail. ❤
@@mikeyoung490 Thank you , it really bothers me that we can’t believe anything our news say anymore. It’s all political and the current ones in charge don’t want to look bad so they make it sound like 200 people died. This isn’t honoring or helping the families that have been so devastated by losing a loved one.
Sean just wanted to leave a comment to thank you and your crew. God is great. May he continue to bless yall for everything yall are doing and have done. Thank you guys/gals for helping fellow Americans in need.
There's quite a few channels that are organizing and helping. It's always been about Americans helping each other. The ones in the seats of power are useless and worried about what enriches them. Bless y'all for helping. 😊
Bless you all for the work and charity your team has been providing so many people recovering from Hurricane Helene. After seeing some influencers going out to "help" but really going for content, you've melted my heart. Thank you!
Thank you Sean for being such an honorable vessel for God's work and his army here on earth. Thank you also for helping people who want to help by cutting through the fog and giving them accurate guidance and direction towards those who can do the most good. Bless you for all that you do and all those who need help. Galatians 6:9: “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
Stunning what you are doing! As I was watching I laid my hand on my bible to ask GOD to help you and all involved with anything needed and for blessing to be freely given to all helpers! Great show of compassion through Christ and his teaching's!
Our southern men and women are THE best! The outpouring of help and compassion is amazing. Illustrating that “the government is not coming to help”. Ever.
Mr. Sean and team I started following your channel when I saw what amazing work you all are doing to make a difference!!! It’s we the People who get the job done!!! In Jesus Name …… Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you guys for all you do. I love how you are out here helping people while at the same time having fun and joking around. You are all a great group of guys.
It makes my heart fit to burst seeing everyone help each other in a world that's hurting atm it's lovely to see humans caring for each other love to you all.💗
Just saw a post about the man with cancer!!!! How cool. Y’all rock. There’s also a guy who needs a spot fixed in his driveway/ bridge. He has cancer and wants to get home to be at peace where he is. His daughters also want to visit this holiday. Let me see if I can find his exact coordinates.
That’s awesome. My team organized the storage shed at Calvary Chapel… I was wondering who donated ALL those saws! Thank y’all! They’re all hung up and organized now, easy to access and keep accounted for now for the volunteers.
Americans being Americans!! Thank you guys for showing others what being a good American means. Helping your neighbors!!
even if it's in Springfield Ohio . . . !!!

Good People Helping People. Sorry, but I just don’t see goodness - or badness - stopping at country borders. No insult intended, just my own Reality Check on what i believe to be the common humanity of people helping where there is need.

We have run supplies from local residents to tornado victims in oklahoma and other states in the past, and it feels strange to now be in need of help. Our American citizens are some of the best people on this earth. This is the definition of community❤❤❤❤
You may want to talk to your neighbors about acting more welcoming. Volunteers have brought support and supplies, but after being treated like unwanted pests they left taking the donations to the northerners in Florida!! Which is sad. The only ones that wanted them were the drug addicts in Asheville. They only wanted high dollar items they can resale 😢. Maybe they will be forced to get clean, but they are stealing from the dead just a week in.
@@SassafrasPaul-cq7uw the people of NC are dealing with PTSD. If you have no understanding of that don't go try to help. I detest doctors who assume people in pain hurt and are cranky so they label them an 11:24 d walk away. No wonder people go to the street!

Thoes chain saws will be a mercy tool for the un reachables in the wilderness. Especially with winter coming. Turn thoes fallen trees into wood heat.

It seems to me that a whole bunch of water did God's work. Now they're trying to recover.
This world needs more people like these people!!!
As a NC native and a biker I wouldn't expect any less!! Not many people with integrity and morals anymore!!
Thank you Sean, Jimmy, Cleetus, Jason, and so many others who are giving their time, money, and resources to help those in need.
At worst they're breaking even by raising money from their fans, selling merch, ad revenue, and building their brand.
We hope to send @CleetusMcFarland back from

So sorry for your losses. Stay strong and God bless you.
Save homes. Rebuild homes.
My deepest sympathy for your losses! Praying continually for everyone affected by this disaster!!
So very sorry for your heartbreaking losses!! Praise God that you are still here with us!! ❤

You can't compare COVID to a hurricane.
The reason people are acting differently is because it is a different situation.
Everyone was doing what they could during covid and now they are doing what they can during a hurricane.
Just regular folks helping other folks in need. No political crap anywhere. God bless you guys.
The politicians in DC are trying to make it harder than it needs to be though.
Exactly. Political crap is NOT helpful. 👍
It's no longer about politics, it's good vs evil.

Hey I just wanted to tell you that I live in the city of Asheville and my bandmate lost his entire home and I really appreciate what you’re doing in our community thank you so much!❤
My husband and I just returned from Weaverville,NC, made a trip down from West Virginia with box trailers full
Of supplies. Traveled with a young man, Brandon Ledford, who lives in our area but grew up in this area. Our drop point was T Birds in Weaverville, it’s not a church or school
Or fire dept, it’s a bar, and I was overwhelmed by what they have done inside with the room they have. So much supplies for all or anyone who needs them, and what a system they have assembled. Maybe if you’re near there, you could check them out also. God bless you all for doing all that you are 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I been wondering about Weaverville ..I go there a lot to Blue Mountain Pizza and Wellbread Bakery ..I am about an hour away over the mountain in Tennessee..I hate it so much for the good folks of North Carolina..Thank you so much for helping them ..God Bless you
God bless you 🙏🏼❤️. Thank you for sharing.

Isn't that what church's are supposed to do?
Just got back from SC doing tree work for the lineman. The people in the areas I worked were incredibly nice and offering food and drinks. By the time we left almost everyone in the area we worked was restored with power, so hopefully it’s getting better
Most places do have power now, but there are some that simply won't have power for months. The ground itself has changed, so they'll have to completely rethink how to do it.
Thank you for your hard work. SC appreciates all you and all the tree crews have done.
Great job brother!!!!!!!!
This guy has much needed info.
That's great!❤😊😊😊
I am in tears but happy ones. To hear that man say they would help them rebuild was a miracle I wanted to hear. Bless all those who are committed to those affected. I knew no one would have insurance so the worst was possibly to come . Thank you thank you. Praying for all

You guys are awesome. I donated to Mercury One. They claim 100% goes to the people.
I'm learning a lot from your videos. And even though I'm on the West Coast, I'm building my knowledge and supplies for when the SHTF here. I just wanted you to know that what you're doing creates huge ripples! Even if we can't be right there, your info lifts up and educates all of America. Keep it up.
I donated to the NASCAR group 100% to NC + TN . They sent trucks and rescue helicopters for rescue. Also Y'all Squad. Will continue to donate. All those who can, please continue donating. This is a long haul.
Mercuryone is a good charity. And 100% does go to helping. They're operating costs are paid through a different company.
Hurricane Helene Airlift Rescue out of Statesville. All money and supplies 100% to Helene victims. They are doing air drops, Rescue, and recovery all on their dollar or donated resources from others like fuel supply for the planes. Matt and Joel also decided to create United Carolina Calvary. A nonprofit to continue this work now and in the future. They were some of the first ones in helping from Statesville airport. Also teaming with Concord, Hickory, and Indian Trail airports.
SHTF here every year. Fires are our hurricanes.
. Whoo who!
Again… thank you so much for helping my community. You’re literally just a few miles from me in this video. It’s been real tough.
This was the verse of the day on my Bible app, how great is out God! Isaiah 6:8 says, "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me'".
This was the exact verse I was hearing in my head watching this!
THIS GIVES ME HOPE FOR OUR WORLD, SO BLESSED THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP, .
Overwhelming thank you to all the brave hikers who traveled miles thru treacherous terrain to find & save those in need!
As a Australian Believer in lifts my heart to see so many, loving their neighbour.
So neat watching this. I passed that Fruitland Baptist every day going to my highschool. My parents live about 15 minutes away from there and finally got power yesterday (2 weeks to the day). The power company that fixed their lines were from Canada.
Yeah my buddy is a lineman from Arizona. His company got sent to North Carolina and now he's headed to Florida to help get power on. Crazy the places people are coming from to come together but the government isn't helping as much as they should. My tax dollars pay for stuff like this.. They're seriously dropping the ball.
@@Chris.Rhodes The government arranges assistance from power companies (all utility companies needed) all over the U.S and from other countries.
Whenever there is a storm that is likely to cause widespread power outages, assistance is sent in from other utility companies.
We had several additional utility companies in WNC before the storm hit due to the disaster declaration.
This is part of FEMAs job. They brought them in along with additional DOT crews..
(They had additional first responders here as well.)
They are the primary point of contact for utility companies.
Several people really don’t know or fully understand what FEMA does and that creates misunderstandings.
@@pollysshore2539 Hmm... I'll have to look more into it. From what I'm hearing (i guess it's misinformation or something then) FEMA is denying help, and doing things to hurt helping people. I know some of what they do, but politics should never be in between helping people. But yeah, I'll have to research some more into what's actually going on. Thanks for the info!
@@Chris.RhodesOne thing I’ve heard several people say that has been a bit boggling is….
Why isn’t FEMA here fixing my power? Why isn’t FEMA clearing my road?
The guys you see restoring power and cleaning your state roads - the power companies and department of transportation - are there because of FEMA.
They know better than that! They know who works on utilities and state roads.
Some are just wagging their jaws and stirring the pot (and someone needs to tell Lisa to stop gossiping).
** oops. almost dropped my phone and accidentally hit send.
The amount of damage done is catastrophic. Infrastructure has been obliterated in some areas. They will keep bringing in various crews from all over.
Thank you, 🇨🇦!
WNC native here and I appreciate what you're doing. Get some rest bro, I can tell.
Yeah! I can tell the novelty is definitely wearing off--the adrenaline of crisis. It's the long pull now.and budgeting rest, peace and quiet is important. The road is endless, after all. As an earthquake victim I know the feeling of trying to find stability in a shifting world. The earth will settle some more. The temp roads look good!!
God bless you all. I live in Mitchell county in western NC and videos just don’t do justice to the extent of the damage. The water peaked at over 26 feet on one of our main streets through town. Generators are badly needed, the nights are getting cold and some people in the higher elevations are being told it’ll be months without power. Again god bless you and everyone who has supported western NC through this. If anyone has lost faith in god, humanity or the United States just come to my area and the amount of volunteers, donations, and overall kindness you witness will reaffirm your faith.

I have a question
@@SuperiorRobynwhat?
Amen, this is who we really are in rural areas. We help each other and that's how we make it. We pay favors forward and help someone else in need.
Most ppl I know would give you the shirt off their backs and a seat at their table. I've had strangers I never met pay for a tow truck to get us home when the car broke down and they wouldn't let me pay them back. I didn't have cash on me and they took cash.
We are often the forgotten, but when we help each other we all make it. ❤
Suggestions:
1) mechanics to repair tools/generators etc
2) display what types of skills that teams can be compromised of
3) could more mule, goat or horse teams b of help?
4) could milk goats be brought to remote areas that need to feed babies
On goats milk for babies - it’s not a complete nutritional profile, it needs to be fortified w some different things. I’ve got some farmer friends in touch w folks in WNC in case a momma wants fresh goat milk ❤
In a pinch for temporary, goats milk is better than nothing. And mothers you can often restore a milk supply if you nurse for a few days. Just saying it works on supply and demand. Our bodies are well equipped to feed our babies. 😊 Our milk is totally designed to be what's best for our infants if you need to.
@@metalmamasue3680Reglan (metocloprimide) increases prolactin in mom. Prolactin is necessary for milk production. Feed mom a good diet, plenty of fluids and dose Reglan. Put the baby to the breast to stimulate milk production. This method is used by adoptive mothers to facilitate breastfeeding because Mother's milk is the way to go.
It’s amazing how the people of the South have come together to take care of our own communities. After witnessing it personally, and then all the videos and posts, it really is amazing. You’re appreciated bikes and beards

Re: Title
I feel like it IS getting better. Look at all the honor, sacrifice, heroism & love pouring in from caring citizens, churches, businesses, organizations, linemen, first responders, local fire-police-sheriff’s personnel. I’ve heard National Guard dropped in somewhere by helicopters with guys & heavy machinery. Not to mention RUclipsrs!! Communication is rocky, but will get better. This video was packed with practical takeaways for managing expectations & how to navigate connections to interface in the most efficient way possible. The journey put a really fine point on the many “why’s “ behing the “what’s” of that insight. Visionary contribution that will multiply blessing many times over. Epic!
Keep praying 🙏
If Fed government is there, anywhere, it would sure help if they would invite some of the youtube influencers volunteering to film & report on their work.
The federal government is here. In droves. They don't care about their reputation. The only people criticizing them are 1000 miles away. If you're here, get with FEMA, don't let some punk across the country with political aspirations ruin your life.
@@hereseangoes Thank you for your reply - that’s good to know. I haven’t heard anyone but locals & dedicated volunteers sharing their personal observations. Everyone has a different piece of the puzzle and with communication still coming online, each can only speak to what they’ve seen in their limited deployment zones. It would be helpful to see Fema’s broader efforts because it’s amazing to see the kinds of things happening at scale that are impossible for volunteers and NGO’s to accomplish. I feel like the story of citizens sacrifices and government’s capacity partnering would be a great narrative. What Fema did in New Orleans was front page news… easy to get behind. It’s not unreasonable to want those optics, to understand Fema’s work in real time in real time and make informed conclusions about it’s present effectiveness. I’m not suggesting it’s not there. It’s FEMA, right? I It’s what they do and I hope it’s epic too. I’d just like to be able to see whatever it looks like rolling out…Personal preference - no disrespect intended. Every boot on the ground there counts in this critical time. By now there’s certainly videos out there. I’ll go look around. Thx again for your balanced reply. 👍
Adoptive family is an incredibly great idea. I think you need to just do a whole separate video on that they can go viral. As so many people want to help but you don’t know how this is the solution to the problem. May the Lord bless it and grow it!
I love this idea, brilliant! I know the churches there know where help is needed and you guys are truly a blessing. I am subbing to your channel to help support your work. It sounds like communication and coordination of all help centers would be an efficient way to make the most of the supplies on hand. You did an excellent job redirecting supplies where they were needed most. The idea of adopting a family is great. It is similar to the idea of “wrap services for an individual or family.” In social work, it is forming a team of professionals to work together to meet the needs of the family. Families are matched to services providers. This helps getting the right services to each particular family and avoids duplication.

I agree! Would love more info as how me as one person could help directly when I’m unable to physically get there.
Yes, great idea!

BEing Agnostic doesn't mean one isn't a GOOD Person. It simply means they haven't figured out God yet. When it's our time, God Reveals Himself .. in a way which is right for each soul. 🙏
God Loves You and Wants You. That's exactly why you are here...
Native Ashevillian here. The biggest problem isn’t supplies, it’s rebuilding the main waterlines.
The pipes didn’t just get hit, they are completely gone.
Civil engineers are working in tandem with construction contractors to dig and put pipes in place as fast possible it’s complicated because of height differentials.
Going up and down mountains with half-ton pipes isn’t something that can be done in a few days.
The second is that trash pile up, rubble is in such remote places that it’s either incredibly hard to clear and clean or impossible because it’s inaccessible.
I guarantee you’ll be seeing destroyed houses along Yancey county River sides probably forever.
We don’t have a lot of money around here except for Reynolds mountain and Biltmore and they keep to themselves.
A lot of those people have their second or third homes in those places.
Edit: I’m in no way at trying to deter what y’all are doing, it’s good work.
I just wanted to inform everyone of the current situation.
Also, there was a pvc manufacturing plant that leaked toxic chemicals into the French broad so a lot of the clean up was postponed till the EPA comes in.
If you do any near River clean ups in the future. IE River arts district, Marshall, please wear 95s and PPE!
Democrat? You sound like it.
Nobody thinks about all the stuff running under city streets. Water mains, communication lines, electric lines, Natural gas lines, sewer lines. When all that is ripped away with severe flooding, it becomes a logistical nightmare. Stone and gravel and dirt has to be replaced to make a road bed first to even begin to start replacing the said type of pipelines . In clean up of areas that are contaminated, even mold can become an issue. Full respirator and hazmat PPE should be worn. You do NOT want that touching skin. I've been in flooding. Been there done that. Prayers from Wisconsin.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
The one comment I have is N95s really won't work. People in potentially contaminated areas need half face masks and organic cartridge filters.
Thanks for the info I hurd about the toxic spill but in all the videos I've watched I never hurd anything about the under infrastructure being destroyed and it definitely never crossed my mine
That sounds horrible. Can you put some pipes above ground as a temporary fix before the problem is solved?
Loved your video! You all rocked it, to God be the honor for everything you’ve done! I’ve been praying for specifically my plan in NC. Your video was super helpful to me!
As someone who has been in the situation these folks are in. Thank you for helping. Having people show up that care enough to help you out with anything means a lot.
Just so you know Sean. You are welcome to be as late as you need on the OCC bike build off. You are doing vastly more important work. God bless you and your team.
Thanks for that!
God bless you all and God Bless America! We've been there 4 times to cut trees and we'll be back. Praying for All Y'all!!
A word from someone who has been through some serious flooding and seen some terrible things: If you're going down to help, bring everything you need to be self-sustaining. Often, assistance groups, despite their good intentions find themselves dropping supplies, chainsawing all day and into the night, then become a burden on the community they came to help as they haven't brought their own food, water, tents or campers etc. Where we were in 2011, there was nothing left but ruins, so bring everything you need down to bathing water and toilet paper.
There's a surprisingly ample amount of resources in the area, I can confirm this. I was there. Stores are stocked and at this point getting things in is no problem, it just depends on which direction you come from. It's getting things to specific houses or neighborhoods that can be challenging.
True, most people in the USA are not very good travelers, they just throw money around. There is a system of protocol during emergencies and so many people do whatever they want without co-ordinating that it slowss things down. It's good to see some semblance of organization going on. People still complain. at first that it's too slow. That happens every time. I worked in prosecutions and like every drunk driver had "2 beers"
@@judithmcdonald9001it is ALWAYS the "just 2 beers." 😂
I highly doubt anyone down there receiving aid will ever consider the basic needs of the volunteers a burden. You sound like the kind of person that would rather have robots doing the work.

As an Asheville resident, I really appreciate your efforts and the efforts of everyone else who is helping in any way. Thank you.
Thank you Sean for being such an honorable vessel for God's work and his army here on earth. Thank you also for helping people who want to help by cutting through the fog and giving them accurate guidance and direction towards those who can do the most good. Bless you for all that you do and all those who need help.
Galatians 6:9: “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
Stunning what you are doing! As I was watching I laid my hand on my bible to ask GOD to help you and all involved with anything needed and for blessing to be freely given to all helpers! Great show of compassion through Christ and his teaching's!
Our southern men and women are THE best! The outpouring of help and compassion is amazing. Illustrating that “the government is not coming to help”. Ever.
Mr. Sean and team
I started following your channel when I saw what amazing work you all are doing to make a difference!!! It’s we the People who get the job done!!! In Jesus Name …… Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you guys for all you do. I love how you are out here helping people while at the same time having fun and joking around. You are all a great group of guys.
God bless all who donate 🙏 and help sending love and prayers 🙏
Sean you're a Real Christian Brothers Keeper kind of guy. Proud to be a fan-follower of your YT channel. Thanks so much, stay safe in your adventures.
It makes my heart fit to burst seeing everyone help each other in a world that's hurting atm it's lovely to see humans caring for each other love to you all.💗
Better than a shot of B12! I NEEDED to see there are people who really still care in our country!
God bless you all for what you’re doing for these people in need. My prayers are with everyone.
Just saw a post about the man with cancer!!!! How cool. Y’all rock. There’s also a guy who needs a spot fixed in his driveway/ bridge. He has cancer and wants to get home to be at peace where he is. His daughters also want to visit this holiday. Let me see if I can find his exact coordinates.
Praying for you in Jesus' Name.
God Bless you folks! Now this is what Helping In Time of Need is ALL about!! Prayers for All from Wa. State ❣
FEMA is here in a big way and many people are helping… thanks for sending angels
FEMA is an obstruction,not a help. Plus it's broke
You sir are delusional.
Everyone involved in the video is doing great work, and I know its much appreciated by those needing it.
Stay safe 🙏🏻 brother.
It's wild to see my town on all these different youtube channels. Thanks for your help. We appreciate it 🙏
That’s awesome. My team organized the storage shed at Calvary Chapel… I was wondering who donated ALL those saws! Thank y’all! They’re all hung up and organized now, easy to access and keep accounted for now for the volunteers.
Thanks so much to all volunteers, and people sending supplies. Our Church in West Virginia is sending supplies next week.
Are you sending to "Calvary Chapel, Ashville"?
