Just regular folks helping other folks in need. No political crap anywhere. God bless you guys.
Sean using his personal time and wealth to help those in need is the sign of a true hero.
Dude spent 15k on chainsaws.
It's a sign of a loving kind heart
And missing Government
Brought tears to my eyes seeing his giving heart. Conservatives need to conserve that.
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"
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.
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 ✓
Amen !!!
You know that guy is going to take care of it.
you guys are the best example of what people can do for each other! God bless all of you!
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.

Need large solar panels with Tesla powerwalls, electric heated blankets, jackets, etc.
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.
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.
God is working through these men! God bless the volunteers!
Cant imagine how much money you spent on all these supplies. God bless you and your team Sean! 🙏
God Bless you guys!
Love from Wisconsin❤
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 ❤
♥ 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 🙏🏼
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.
God bless you guys. You guys are amazing donating your time and money (a lot of it) and spreading God’s message.
This world needs more people like these people!!!
Credit to you and your family for what you have done.
As a Australian Believer in lifts my heart to see so many, loving their neighbour.
Wow, wonderful thing you are doing. You don't just preach the word, you live it.
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.💗
I have lived in Asheville my whole life, and have never seen it like this, but good people like this and the good Lord will get us back on our feet. God bless
“They hunt for a person with one arm” that got me. Thank for all you do Sean.

It's wild to see my town on all these different youtube channels. Thanks for your help. We appreciate it 🙏
wow all the coordination is being managed by the Christian ministries, God is great !!
If your imagined deity was real let alone great it would not have happened, time to grow up bro and stop believing in fairy tales.
@@adylevene4318SADLY WHEN YOU FAFO THE HARD WAY IT'LL PROBABLY BE TOO LATE 😔. 🙏GOD HELP US ALL 🙏🇺🇲
@@adylevene4318 You don't have to listen to the spirit of error. It's your choice.
@adylevene4318 if they were an atheist group, would you say the same thing? What does it matter what their diety is? Looks to me like people trying to serve those in need are fairly "grown" and would counter you need to grow up leave all that hate in your heart behind the weight may be liberating. No one is pushing faith to these people they are just helping the needy. I hope if you are ever in the situation you need help you could set aside the hate for Christians and other faiths and accept their aid. Even if you didn't they'd still help you. Whatever the reason is you hate people of faith hopefully you find peace and love for your fellow man one day. 🙏
If god was real he created the universe and it's laws. So he is responsible for the hurricane in the first place
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿RESPECT, you brothas are a blessing.
Everyone involved in the video is doing great work, and I know its much appreciated by those needing it.
Stay safe 🙏🏻 brother.
I'm so glad to see the update. Now that Milton is past, we can get back into gear! Wings of Compassion on the go!
Watching this brings me joy. I'm super happy you guys are able to help.
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.

Thanks Bikes and Beards team . We're cheering for your good help and giving.
God Bless and keep you all! What a shining example of God’s love you all are!
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!
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 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!
thank you so much
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
THIS!⏫️⏫️⏫️❤️
Thank you for helping western NC
Thank you for giving your time and recourses for all those people. Have been watching you and Berm Peak for years now.
Good men. More fortunate helping the less fortunate. God is happy with you. Bless you all from Canada
You guys have been such an amazing blessing. May GOD continue to bless all that you are doing and our prayers go out to all of those impacted by these storms.
Hey Bro, thanks for you and your team getting out. This makes my eyes leak, I’m from East Tenn originally and love that area keep up the good work- God bless and keep you.
I'm the granddaughter of a TN hillbilly, and this rips my heart out. 😭eM 🙏
Sean. We need more people like you in the world!!
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!
Wow what an example of Christianity amazing work and seeing from the UK what is happening on the ground compared to what is reported in our media is facinating.
Grateful for your in-depth instructions & grant efforts for this rescue mission!
Winter is coming next donation phrase should be for weather protection!
God bless America & the World ! 🙏❤🙏
What amazes me is the lack of national gaurd, the defiant lack of support from the goverment. Is such a disgraceful action from who we pay to protect us from these disasters
They were there, probably still are there. There's not that many of them, though, so I'm not sure why people think you'd see them on every street.
🤣😆😂
Unfortunately, we aren’t represented by them.
Citizens are always more useful than government, God bless everyone. G.H
It is so cool that guy y'all met was like y'all are going out to find ways to help and he was in to do what ever needed to be done. Strangers coming together ✓
This is October winter is coming. These folks have a hard time now and harder time coming! Prayers to all involved!
It’s nice to hear my home state of Louisiana is still out there helping.
Cajun Navy's like...no boats? Cajun Marines.
💔✊🇺🇸from Scotland 🏴.
I could not believe this volunteer, who is able to go and get food, took the vegetables, when many more needed it more than him. UNBELIEVABLE. a "Christian" too
Bless you all brothers. Take care, stay safe, and god’s speed. 🙏🫵
Total respect - your generosity affirms belief in the decency of folks being tested this election season.
God bless all your work brother.
Y’all have a wonderful servants heart! May God bless y’all and keep y’all safe!!!!!
Thank you so much!
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 🙏🏼
emotional video... Keep fighting the good fight brothers!
Sean you're doing such great work out there man. this warms my heart to see this. please help as much and as often as you can. You and everyone that went to help is awesome
The way you and other youtube guys like Jimmy world are banding together to help in everyway brings tears to my eyes, Your comment about the government isnt coming hit home and made me think of one of my favorite songs "we take care of our own" by springsteen and about New orleans after Katrina and how the people had to help because of the mess that was/is fema. My testimony is rooted in 2 Timothy, and Godbless you and your team and all the others . Chris from Alaska
Just want to say thank you 🙏 and God bless you brother, for what you are doing and have done , this was tragic once again God bless you and your family
The scale of the devastation is just not something we are used to in the United States. All those communities, roads, bridges, power lines swept away, buried under mud and debris.
Correction, it's not something they're used to in North Georgia or the Carolinas, but unfortunately, it's become almost a yearly occurrence in Florida, and a semi-annual occurrence in the coastal parts of Northeast Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. As a native Floridian experiencing such devastation somewhere in the state each year has become the norm, not the exception, and we often experience multiple storms in the same year only weeks or months apart.
When Wilma struck us about 6 weeks after Katrina in 2005, my neighborhood was left without power, running water, cable or internet for more than a month afterwards. For more than two weeks flooded streets had knee deep standing water in them. And when city water was finally restored we had to boil it for an additional 2 plus weeks before it could be used from the tap. We are taught from when we're in school as kids that whenever our area is in the forecast "Cone of Uncertainty" to prepare by storing enough nonperishable food, canned goods, and bottled water to live off of for up to two weeks, to top off the cars and fill-up cans with gas, get propane cans for the grill, secure anything loose from outside that could become a projectile, board up windows and sandbag around the garage and exterior doors, and purchase fresh batteries for lanterns and radios.
What makes the situation they are experiencing in the Carolinas unique is such storms have until now been extremely rare, and when they have occurred in the past many fewer people were living there. So no one was prepared for this, and there is no institutional knowledge to fall back on how to recover from it. Unfortunately, with such disasters experience makes preparation and recovery easier to deal with because with that experience comes resiliency and an understanding of what to do for the next time. Building codes and flood zones will need updating to take into account such events. Institutions will need hardening so recovery can begin sooner, and collective memories will make recovery easier to deal with in the future.
The dude with the chainsaws not cutting you a break on the price is wild🤯
Yep, first thing I noticed. He will have a good Christmas.
Typical, if people can take advantage of you, odds are they will. I saw $5 bottles of water sign in one video. People that went up there to help with tree removal had $7K minimums to do any work. So 1 tree could cost $7K to remove. Luckily there are good people that are helping out and not trying to take advantage of people
I’m not defending the guy, he’s in business. He should have gave a discount and maybe he did, we just didn’t see it. Who knows. But he has to keep his doors open too.
How do you know he didn't? I didn't see Sean ask for a deal and the guy say no.
The bill was like $14,500 and the total with tax on 25 20" saws and extra chains is closer to $17,000 so he definitely did what he could to help them out
I'm so happy for community. Thanks for all you do. i was disappointed how she slammed FEMA. People are dying in Florida and bodies washing up. I'm glad recovery is happening there. Florida is next.
You guys are awesome. Politicians are useless and couldn’t care less about the people in this disaster.
God bless you and your team! Thanks for showing what things are really like down there and how many good people are helping those who need it.
Thank you Sean and team!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰🥰
You and your people have renewed my faith in how we help each other. Thank you
Amazing work to your team!! I was in Marshall, NC last weekend. It was truly inspiring to see how the community came together and the amount of supplies that were pouring in from surrounding communities as far as seven hours away. FEMA nowhere to be found while I was there.
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
To me your bike shows are good but this takes the top for sure man so much help needed there you definitely went awesome on this one
I think you hit the nail on the head. That is always the biggest challenge is connecting the people that want to help with people that actually need help.
Thank you for all of your wonderful gifts of time and supplies! God Bless You!
God bless you and your team, y’all are awesome!
Get out of my head that's exactly what I was thinking is why don't they have people adopt a family/person. Love it!❤
With Calvary Chapel, I went on a mission trip to take care of kids. Abandoned kids, some rescued from dumpsters, some so messed up that their parents didn’t want them. Some parents don’t deserve their children. Calvary Chapel is awesome.
Sara. Most of us don’t deserve the providence of the Lord. We must all keep trying and praying.
thank you for your work, prayers to you and your team
Thank you for what you're doing.
You are an outstanding human being.
God Bless and keep you and your family and the People in North Carolina. Amen. 🙏
God bless this man beyond belief

THIS GIVES ME HOPE FOR OUR WORLD, SO BLESSED THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP, .
Thank you for serving 👏🕊👍 I’m sure you’ve been a huge blessing 🥰🌅
Thank you all so much from Haywood county.
Have you seen all the military assistance?
Neither have I.
Not all hero’s wear capes!!
I brought 4 large batteries from my Ryobi riding mower along with some offroading lights and 16 gauge outdoor cable to Word of Life Church in Johnson City who was able to find a shelter camp in Poga that is now using them for lighting at night. They'll be able to power lights all night every night for a long time just with that.
I recently found out that an idea i had sevrral years ago while brainstorming with some missionaries in the Amazon was used and has been very successful in Venezuela. At first i was shocked when you left Samaritans Purse but glad God gave you a different approach. Hooking up these folks with new friends to help on a long term basis is first I've heard of. Simple yet brilliant. Good stuff 🙏
You gentlemen are amazing! God bless y'all!
