What a few days! Thank you so much for all the help. Another one for the history books. It's always great when the gang comes to town!!
Watching you ride in to Cerro Gordo on the top of the water tank was epic!
Love both Dave's and your content Brent. Looking to try to make a trip out west and see some of the areas you have filmed like the salt tram over the mountain and cerro Gordo of course.
Wish i could live there with all you amazing people. I would work for free just to be there in such paradise
Cool they got Jesse ‘the body’ Ventura to narrate.
i’m sorry abt the flood brent!! i hope you are figuring that all out as best as you can!! wishing you the best luck!!!!
I'm a simple man. I see Cerro Gordo, I click.
me too
"Mama told me...when I was younnngg...she sat beside me"
Amen
Same 😎

That final load looks like something straight out of Snowrunner. I'm very impressed.
Especially if you use the GWC Goliath mod. It adds what is basically the HEMTT
Watching these videos make me feel lazy. Never cease to amaze me what you guys accomplish! Keep doing great things 🤙
Looks like a super mover project to me!
Whenever someone gets passive aggressive with Alan I just end up liking the guy more. Wholesome, eccentric, unending positivity... What a guy!
Alan is the best!
I bet Allan is 27 and just had a hard life.
I Love Alan and His Channel too, as well as being a Very Proud Patreon Member of Alan's Channel.
God Bless Y'all ❤️🙏
Tough as a coffin nail! Huge heart, Alen is the Wizard that helps make the magic happen, he cannot be beat.
Where is jacks link?
If everyone had a friend like Dave Sparks the world would be a better place. Truly using his zest for life to enrich everyone he encounters. Only way to better this effort would have been to have Hunter along.
God Bless Dave Sparks and his entire crew, Thank you Lord for Dave as we love the gifts that you provide us and Dave is one of the best. Thank you Lord for keeping Dave and his whole crew safe on these ventures and please continue to provide for Dave and all his loved ones! God Bless you Dave, you have a great heart!
Yep anything I’ve ever got excited for was either out of my budget, my health or terrible toxic work environment.
If everyone WAS a friend like Dave Sparks the world would be a better place too....
To be fair if everybody had the money heavyD has the world would be an even better place.
But yeah - at least he spends our money helping others, unlike some rich folk.
Mind you, some rich folk are lobbying governments to tax them more... and it's STILL not happening! Is heavyD lobbying (either way)?
Where's Hunter?
Love the LOTR esque intro! You guys crack me up. Love this channel!
Dave and his guys are top notch people! And Brent has become such an awsome story teller! I could listen to him talk about Cerro Gordo all day!
Makes for a great 📹
You guys helping Brent seriously warms my heart. I’m fascinated with Cerro gordo and the amazing things he’s done up there! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi
You realize Brent is the face of a group of investors looking to turn it into a business retreat right? It’s not like he cares about history just share holders
@@captainfancypants4933 where did you hear that
@@captainfancypants4933, lol yeah because he is just swimming in big investor money. 18 monts to start what would be the cornerstone of such a operation in the hotel. Idiot statement from someone that obviously hasnt watched Brents videos.
This is the best RUclips collaboration ever.. change my mind
I bet Brent and Alan have a lot in common. They've endured similar hardships and are struggling to build something on their own that will be amazing when finished!
My hat off to everyone of the sponsors that helped with the project . It was a sit on the edge of your seat video. Dave your right at top my list. You are the man. Great video can't wait for the next one.
If Brent ever has some kids and they have some grandkids, he one day can tell them the story of how his grandfather road the water tower into town.
Or they could just watch it on the internet 😂😂
Huge props to Dave's sponsors! They know that their equipment is going to be tested in REAL WORLD conditions...so many RUclipsrs will sugar coat their sponsors without ever even putting them to the test! Dave has his way of doing things that, well, most would be scared to tackle! I am never disappointed in anything this guy does! Love Cerro Gordo as well!
Couldn’t disagree more. This guy is so wealthy he bought a Blackhawk and probably is worth millions. But he’s operating Chinese Sany equipment.
He should buy a Chinese military helicopter and fly it around….
Sparks will give it the test anyone will be impressed by. Pushes his work to the limits and then figures out a way to surpass himself or get out of a jam.. inspirational crew he's got too. Helping cerro gordo and Brent was a great partnership.
@@ThePropwash03 so he should spend money on heavy equipment that is made in America with Chinese parts and Chinese steel and breaks down more often?
Agreed.
Forget these fools chiming in on whatever 'ccn' whatever..as they likely comment to a video they enjoy on a device made in a factory making next to what the fukever your talking about. Amerika! I'm in on, but ignorance will drown us all if you lie to your selves on what commerce and worldly reliances provide. Borders and politics are Bs.we watch This channel because of the sponsors and the countries who make the devices that get touted on..I love my country! I'm red white and blue through and through! I love our neighbors too though, who, through commerce can and have made the great machines we use daily..In which , is how Dave makes his money and the content we see day to day.
I'm So So Glad Jax is back on the Channel and that Intro was EPIC!!! Sending much Love from across the Pond here in Yorkshire, UK
True that, the Intro was next level *epic*
I love when Jax joins a video! It's always fun with him, especially when Jim and Bud are there, too. That tank looked crazy, but it worked. Great problem solving skills guys! Great drone footage, too.
Dave, his crew, H&S and other volunteers are a God send. They are wonderful humans. They always help others anyway they can.
I pray that the are blessed 10 fold.
THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS!
You guys edited this in less than a week (I saw the instagram stories last weekend when you were there) and the production value of this video is amazing. The editors on this channel are some talented people, hats off.
Dave's the only person on RUclips that can make 50 minute videos and have everyone watch till the end
49 minutes….😂
SO FREAKING EPIC!!! The intro, drone footage, score, and the editing were top knotch!! Everything evoked so many emotions!!! Thank you for sharing the adventures
What an all around great crew. From the welders, to the driver's, to the owners, to the editors, filmers and laborers etc. Amazing.
From an engineering and logistic perspective this was truly ingenious. Everything went so smoothly it is hard to truly appreciate the planning, design, and experience it took to make this happen. Very impressive as always guys but this one for me was over the top.
All I could think while watching that massive tank go up the hill is that somehow Dave Sparks bloodline runs deep to Egyptian times of building pyramids. The man finds a way to get it done!!!
I am blown away with all the good you are doing and how you treat people. It is such a pleasure to be able to see the many things you do. God Bless you ! 🙏😃💖
Just think about what the miners had to do to get their materials to their mine sites 100 years ago, water tanks, lumber, CONCRETE, cables!! My hats off to the miners who built this country! With out those miners and without mining today there is no tomorrow. This includes oil drilling. God Speed and Great job to Dave. I need to come up with a project for Dave and crew out here at the Copper Outlet Ghost Town...
Dave Sparks you are a monster at what you do. Your content is off the chain. I have family in Salt Lake City Utah. I would love more than anything to be able to meet you and your crew. I just want you to know how much I envy you and hope to be just half or a quarter I successful As You Are. Much love brother nothing but my respect for you and your guys I just recently started a RUclips channel myself I name it live bottom Truckin. Still waiting on the cameras to install on my rig so I've got a couple goofy videos on my channel now but I'm going to try to up my game LOL everybody's got to start somewhere. You have inspired me to do just that I'm making a decent living running a small trucking company the struggle is real but I'm not afraid to at least put myself out there and try you never know if you don't try.
Subbed up broski, you got this 💪🏾💪🏾
keep at it LBT, U know what u gotta do so go make it happen. Big hugs to u. UK out ;-)
Thank you man that's all a guy can do is try. That's definitely what I'm going to do I have to start somewhere lol I uploaded a couple new videos that says hear me out but I'm not sure if they're posted on my Channel or not. I ordered cameras for my truck. I've at least got to try thanks again
@@JSTIVISON64 don't try. Plan for success and go for it! Trying is attempting. Doing is getting to it! If it fails, find another way to do it. You got this if you want it.
Thanks for all the support and help guys an gals. I'll get better 👌👍!! Thank you all for the support!!
WHAT BRENT HAS DONE WITH CERRO GORDO IS ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING. GREAT COLLABORATION ALL!🔥🙌🏾
Driving such a 5 axle truck is definitely on my dream list. Such a cool vehicle 😎😎
One of the best channels on RUclips. Absolutely love seeing the help and stoked to witness the rebuild of history.
Most people don’t realize that there is a lot of thought goes into heavy hauling or awkward loads..
Y’all are getting it done! Kudos
Videos make it look easier than it is! Lovin it boys 😜
When they loaded that thing onto the Hemit I thought for sure it was going to be way too top heavy and they’d need to come up with a counterbalance system. But you pulled it off with ease. Grats on a job well done.
And he’s paid all these people too, all that help doesn’t come cheap.
No doubt! Bid that out! You won’t like it much lol
Two things:
First, I got a kick out of the scene where the two Yahoo's were riding into town on top of that tank hooping and hollering like conquering hero's. Halarious!
Secondly, I can only imagine how awesome it must be for Dave's young son to go with dad and his friends and pull off a crazy adventure like this one. It must have been big fun...
I look forward to when he's older and working along side dad.
Your videos bring back fond memories of when I was deployed with the 1st armored division and all the "impossible" obstacles we had to overcome.
This is a top tier co op and content !!!
I’ve watched Brent since he started his channel. It was truly heartbreaking seeing how torn he was in the upload after the hotel burned down. Was so glad when you guys got connected for the concrete, helping both of your all’s channels, but ultimately helping get the hotel back. Then this ingenious plan to help with the #1 necessity in the middle of nowhere in a desert, water. You all are great humans. Can’t wait for more videos, stay safe fellas!
Please, make it a happy day for him!
The guys are the real deal. I love everyone of them.
@@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage absolutely. People can say they’re doing it just for money blah blah blah but obviously someone doing this stuff they do just for money wouldn’t get in the dirt like they do, or go in the mines etc. They would get there, drop it off, try to get in Brent’s videos for promotion, then leave. I truly believe they are “real” down to earth humans.
They really are making a difference. Sure they get $, but that $ is forwarded towards helping others.
I remember when the town was for sale and I looked at it and daydreamed about owning it. The first time I watched video of the town was @Wonderhussy Adventures and the American Hotel was beautiful. It broke my heart when I heard it burned down so I can only imagine how Bret felt.
Most of Brent's water problems are with a poorly designed system at the bottom. The hump in the pipe between the water source and pump is creating an easy way for the pump to lose prime, which is the #1 problem. The pump is also taxed fairly heavily pushing the water up 600+ft. Id add a second line to the bottom with the function of being able to pour water down and re-prime the pump from the surface, as well as adding an intermediate reservoir and second pump half way up so that the lower pump isn't having to lift as far. As I recall, Brent has found ways into some of the upper levels without using the shaft Also flattening the run of line between the pump and the sump at the bottom so there isn't that downhill slope away from the pump on the feed line.
Yes
Yeah, I know it might not be in the budget but two more tanks: one right at the top of the shaft to cover the prime problem, and a dedicated fire irrigation system so you always have full tank available for fire suppression would be ideal. How much water can the aquifer provide? You would have to be able to assemble a drill system on the bottom level to drill deep enough to supply the town. That’s a huge hassle. Also, thinking about off grid solutions for the other utilities. That’s a major headache.
There were a lot more people in the town, back in the hey day, they must have had more water? Water collection on the surface, from snow and rain, may be an option too.
Some one who is a real pro at this job should help him out and design an installation which would work. FREE.
I love watching your adventures! You're such good people and you truly care about everyone you help. I would love to meet you all some day! May God bless and protect you always!!!🤗💜🤗
I love how the projects keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I love the tv show but could watch you guys on here for ever. What a god group of guys.
Seeing the amazement on Brent's face when you all arrive to help is something that I will never forget. I found your channel through Ghost Town Living. It's hard to put into words, but I'm glad there are still good people in the world willing to help others without putting their hand out for something in return.
I love the way Dave Sparks makes everything look so easy casually driving to Hemet with a giant sketchy tank strapped to the top while eating a peach like this is just how I planned it I'm not even worried about it because I planned it and it's going to work just fine
Dave you guys never cease to amaze me. I am so jealous, you get to play with the Real Tonka Toys. I am a 60 year old grandmother who drives a truck. Thank you for what you do, you guys are amazing. Thanks from Delaware
Heavy D - you and your team are amazing - That combined with your awesome RUclips editing and video footage is just awesome... Keep the content coming... loving every minute of it...
Never in wildest dreams would I believe that transporting a water tank would be fascinating to watch
Dave I have to say this from a 747 Pilot, You have what it takes and you know how to Move it. We are watching this going over the Atlantic Ocean with a load of Cargo. Impressive.
I have Something huge for you☝️☝️
Distracted flying haha
@@mrmotofy If I'm not mistaken there is a sort of Auto Pilot system-
Also report the bot
Hey Guys, we have been considering Butcher Box for a couple of months now. Just haven't been sure of the quality. But now, after seeing y'all chow down those steaks, I'm going to be working to convince my Husband it's a good investment. I always trust your word. It all looks so freaking delicious. Thank you.
I love watching the camaraderie all of you have together. As well as the determination you have to get the job done. It also nice to see that there are still good hearted people in this world we live in today. Keep doing the awesome things you do.
It's easy to see why this channels so huge, your guys life is something different man
I know dude. i never been interested in big trucks or rescue missions until i discovered this channel. the videos / editing are amazing. (who ever is the editor needs a raise lol )
@@UNCULTUREDSTEVE same it’s made me want to get some big machines 😂
Money changed these guys, for the best! They use their blessings to help others. They do a lot that's not recorded as well . This channel isn't to show off. It's to motivate. The whole Diesel team is awesome!
the way you helped Alen with his shop fire, and with what you are doing for brent, the housboat stuck aground at Lake Mead, and the plethora of other good deeds, yall are some real upstanding dudes,
Idk what the camera guys and editor makes but they need a raise. That b roll cinematography with the soundtrack was epic. Right at dusk. Film quality content coming out of here.
The video was totally amazing! I was surprised to see that large load made it up the mountain! It was seriously exciting! Dave Sparks is a friend everyone needs! If it seems impossible he will try it just to see if can be done! Great job guys! I can’t wait to see the second video!
Can´t even tell you how much i *love* this heartwarming collaboration between the Diesel Brothers and Brent.
Always puts a big smile on my face throughout the whole video. Looks like a real friendship, the chemistry just works.
I want this to *never* end. And the return of Jax adds even more positive vibes.
Over 50k views in the first 45 minutes, I think you all are up to something amazing here. That tank is stupendous for Cerro Gordo, thank you Diesel Brothers for all of your help getting Brent the things he needs for his dream. This is the meaning of good, hard work, and why any gard work should ever be done. 💪✌️🤝
I love Allen, just a soul of gold. Just love him so much.... Stay beautiful Allen. Happy Belated birthday!!!!
That 10 wheeler just marched on up the hill with that "totally fine with OSHA" tank. Worked wonderfully well.
The 3 masterminds all together in one place. Cool for Alan and Brent to meet, the two mountain top moguls haha
Yeah right they both king of the hill, they will besties in no time
They’ve met in previous videos I thought?
this is good for alan he and brent have alot in common somewhat on how they live on top of big mountain steep winding road. building there dream. and they both lost something that meant alot 2 them in a fire. rebuilding with three chins up and not giving up is the best medicine for them and meeting each other. can't wait to see part 2.
That video was totally exciting! Y’all make things look so easy! That new water tank was needed desperately upon that mountain! So glad you were able to come to rescue of a friend in need! Thanks for the show!
Huge HELLO To yall from Tn. I am an older guy that is kind of handicapped and spends a lot of time watching your videos yall are amazing people and I wish I was able to be a part of the wild crazy things you do. Makes my life in my powerchair much more enjoyable just watching the super group of people doing so much to help others and friends out. May God Bless you all and stay safe in the crazy adventures ahead .. love yall from Sweetwater Tn
Jax narrating the opening 👌👌
You guys are the dream team Brett needed get Cerro Gordo up and running again. All the people working on this project have done so much. You all have helped to reignite his fire and helped his vision come back into life. Brett's last update you could feel the excitement on his upcoming projects and making them happen.
The logistics to make this happen, and to film with this much dedication. It takes a great team. Impressive
Great to see everyone working things out what a crew. Great to see everything.. watching from New Zealand
Jax's intro for sure...priceless 😄🤘 Oooh I can't get enough of these Cerro Gordo moments, I'm in for a treat!!
Love the intro and the can do attitude of HeavyD taking on jobs that others would laugh and walk away. Heavy you bring something to the world I wish we had more of. Thank you for being you.
So many projects would have been halted without D and the crew. You guys are keeping dreams alive! Thank you for being a positive inspiration in guiding light in this world of chaos and negativity we are living in now. You guys are pure hope and inspiration.
He literally will not allow his friends to fail at their goals, no matter how ambitious! Doing the best possible thing with his success - helping others achieve the same. I came for the trucks, but I stuck around for the inspiring personalities, best bait n switch ever.
Diesel Dave's bloody mad!! Surfing 24' in the air while Sparkes flies up the last bit of track. That 10 x 10 must have really good suspension! Thanks for the vid. Jim Bell (Australia)
Loved every part of this video. You and your team are absolutely amazing. There are good people in the world. Thanks for doing your part to make this world amazing 👏💜
Love the Cerro Gordo content! Seeing content on Brent's channel will be fun...and .It is SO NICE to see Jax on the crew again! Dude is a legend, the opener content was sweet! The correography was pretty impressive here..Great sound, great video angles...Felt like I was watching a movie.
one of my all time favorite YT collabs that thankfully keep coming! Keep up the vids guys love em"
Thank you so much! I have deep roots in Cerro Gordo having grown up in Bishop and my dad going up there all the time for his translators. I don’t know what we would’ve done without you. The history is so important and I’m glad you see the vision. Thank you all so much!
Simply amazing Heavy D!!! Make a task that seems next to impossible, possible. Love watching your Vlogs helping Brent out with his Cerro Gordo project. You and your crew are truly a blessing. Kudos to you and your crew!! Another great Vlog!!
Hands down the most ridiculous stuff I've ever seen! You guys routinely do the "impossible", and that's why I watch. Keep up the good work boys!
Glad to see another collaboration with Brent and his Ghost Town, Cerro Gordo.
No more Fires at the Hotel, and plenty of water for everyone there. Great Job Everyone !!
You guys should make some t-shirts that say- HEMETT DON’T CARE!!! With a picture of that brute under it! What a machine!
I cant say enough how much i love the production style of your videos. The way you throw in the fun little "on the road" snippets of all the goofiness reminds me of awesome skateboarding/snowboarding videos of the 90's
The way ya'll treat everyone with complete RESPECT has made your team what it is.
Every person you work with is happy to be there working with you (well except for one 🤣)
This is what success is made of!
Next month when you have your blackhawk you will be able to help more with cerro grodo and moving bigger things to help others. Keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼
I will never get tired of Jax's awesome narrations
You seem to make the impossible possible. And make people happy and give them a huge jump start to get back on track. your involvement with Brent’s channel just makes it that much more special I can’t get enough of this!
You guys have the true dream job. Big equipment, unlimited network of help, and you get to help people in need. these are the videos i like the best. My favorite video is when you hauled all the hay down to the farmer and then helped paid for it. hats off to ya
As I watch this from Australia, its like watching a well oiled machine, hats off to everyone who was involved, I've worked with heavy hauling equipment, and it takes a great deal of time and effort to make sure that it runs smoothly, great video guys, fantastic welding by the factory MEN, what a monumental event 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
I came to this channel via Brent's channel.
Love both of them, they're completely different channels but you can tell both are 100% genuine people.
I'm a simpler man I see HeavyD and I simply click and watch!!!
I always love seeing the RUclipsrs collaborating. Dave helping out Cerro Gordo is such a great thing, it’s such a beautiful town with so much history to it.
This was an incredible feat, but Dave Sparks and all of the crew did it easy peasy! I don't think I've ever seen Brent smile so big! Great job everyone! ❤ & respect from Ohio
Alan, and Brent, one soul destined to meet the other man. Two men of the mountain, both devastated by the havoc of the beautiful but wrathful might of mistress fire. Two men overcoming unique hardships to fulfil their dreams. Two men whom have not given up the ghost, and endured, and will fight to the bitter end!
Absolutely love this content and the amazing things that you and your team continue to do for Brent and Cerro Gordo. You are the man.
Jaxx doing voiceover intro??? Love it. Sounds like his inflections.
wow that intro is pure bomb , the music, the voice and the editing is perfect, so great to see all you guys putting all the hard work and make it appear so easy. always a pleasure to watch!!
Best reality show ever! Tension, camaraderie, humor, pathos... It has it all. Love it! Some nail biting moments, and some great beauty. Thank you!
Are you guys for real standing on top of the water tank going up the mountain? Incredible!
is there ANYTHING Dave and the crew can't do ??? love this channel !! hurry , publish the next one , lol...
“It takes a village” I’m always amazed what you all can do!
Happy Birthday Alan🥳🥳
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see Part 2!!
I think this is your best intro ever - the rotating video and Jax's voice over are and incredible combination!!
This episode was unreal . Just like out of transformer movie , especially the Optimus Prime intro speech at the beginning 👍👏 Good work guys .
There's zero chance Brent could have got this done without you guys. Thank you for helping ensure Cerro Gordo lives on for years to come.
Brent did this. Brent got them there. you can't take Brent's accomplishments away from him like that. Dave is cool, but Brent made all this possible.
@@BikingWIthPanda No I totally get that & agree 100%. I guess I should've specified the trucks, resources, willingness, and balls to tackle a challenge like this. I know how much trouble Brents had finding trucks that will deliver up there. I'm not trying to take away Brent's accomplishments. Slow down sir.
The amount of equipment, ingenuity, planning and hardworking that goes into these jobs is nothing short of astounding....bravo gentlemen
Love the friendship you y’all have made with Brett!! Thank you for helping the town stay a live
Awesome guys w hearts of gold... what most ppl wouldn't give to have a friend like Heavy D. Great content... keep 'em coming!!!
I’ve watched Brent since he started and he’s a genuinely good guy. Seeing Dave Sparks and his gang help out in a tremendous way is overwhelming my heart. A big shout out to Diesel Brothers. God Bless fellow Utahs.
Hands down the best content on RUclips. Dave and his crew are truly on another level. Much respect from Australia!
You guys along with help saved that resort town to thrive and go on. Thanks Guys 💪👍
It’s no wonder that you attract like minded, hard working generous people! Good people helping restore our faith in humanity, best to you all Dave and co.
