If We Can Move It...WE CAN HAVE IT! 🤯

[@AmbitionStrikes]

What should we turn this tower into!?

[@brokenarrow2835]

Culvert or one hell of a root cellar.

[@andrewward4246]

water supply? firefighting... droughts... not a bad idea

[@timschwartz_trains]

What you use it for depends on what was in it. Spiral staircase in it to multi level watch tower to see all those beautiful views in your area.

[@StacyODell]

I mean, just use it for it's intended purpose. Stand it up on concrete pylons at a high(ish) point on the land and sandblast it and paint it for corrosion protection. You might even consider cutting into it having the interior inspected for any potential problems or contaminants. That should hold a hell of a lot of water for multiple buildings on the property.

[@lastfirst9791]

Water supply

[@kearnsey64]

A fire fighting water tank. Pour a concrete slab, get a crane to set it, fill it with water and have a pump and hoses at the ready. You can slowly fill it from the well once the weather gets warmer.

[@JimfromIndy]

May be set it up as potable water so it can function as an emergency water supply as well.

[@mochouinard]

I knew from the start you couldn't get it in the middle of it. You managed to reconfigured it in a way I though you would damage the water tower... I don't know if you are just so good, or just so lucky ! I saw you both talking next to this things and in my mind, I was just watching it and I was scared a strap or a tire blow and this thing roll over on me... Anyway, I'm glad you guys made it ok. If they can get it a bit further in the mountain, gravity could provide good water pressure to their house. I would have just bought a bunch of 1000l tot at 30$ each if it was just for that tough. Anyway, looking forward the future video.

[@niotnt9779]

With your logo on it.

[@highrx]

Yup, water tank and a Lightning rod holder. Being all metal, that tank will need a lightning rod and a big concrete slab with a metric ton of rebar in the slab. You may need to add a red FAA beacon on the top? You could add a cable winch elevator to make getting to the top easier?

[@merrymanrc]

Yeah get it set up for water tank in case their is a fire then you have water to help put it out

[@olebloom1641]

I've done a lot of sketchy things and that was pushing the limits of what I would do. Great job on not dying.

[@rickperalta1921]

Courtney is generally - overly cautious. On this one she was not cautious enough... Consider making a cradle for the end of the tank that allows for lifting above the center of mass. It will help resist rolling ... CONGRATULATIONS! For not having a disaster!!!

Long time watcher, first time commentator but, I had to say that this is exponentially the sketchiest thing I have ever seen you do. I have done things like this on a much smaller scale and have been really nervous. This tank moving is about the most ambitious strike with the bare essentials needed to attempt it, including minimal information on the engineering of the tank and all components used, the most unforgiving of terrain and the contingent of disastrous things that could have gone wrong. However, it's obvious that you were successful because of your vital teamwork, resourcefulness, and above all patience. You managed to turn, what I would call 40/60 odds against situation into a 51/49 success. Kudos, and I'm so glad nothing was lost or damaged and no one injured. It was thrilling and nerve wracking to watch, let alone what it was to actually do it. Please let this be the riskiest thing you ever do in terms of real danger and keep on making great videos.

[@MrZZeroG]

Agreed. Watching cranes go over and other large items like this it’s crazy how fast it begins, but how slowly your situation goes from good to tragic. Glad they made it through it.

[@fluffffs]

I was singing "Riley's doing sketchy shit, doo dah doo dah" in my head over and over this whole episode :D

[@Chris-lp3dm]

Yes, while impressed by their success the whole thing was far too recklessly accomplished. It succeeded on luck alone. They needed help from someone with better equipment and experience. This sort of luck only lasts so long. Eventually the lucky party tries something where it goes wrong in the worst possible way.

[@axolotl5]

Well said @bangler62!

[@MBZ-Nation]

Sweet video to see something we built on your video! We actually built that tank! Doesn't appear to be that old based on how the paint and attachments look. They're initially designed as a pressure vessel for cryogenic liquids, meaning they can hold liquids or gasses, but they are often converted to water towers in the used market. Since they are built as pressure vessels, they always are made with at least two layers of core material- outer core usually of steel/stainless and inner core steel/stainless/super composite material, with an insulating material in between. You dented the outside, but the inside will most likely be just fine. With that said, after building these, we only store them on "C" pedestals at each end. The ends are the strongest supporting sides regardless of which direction it's facing. The neck fill or dispensing ports are not designed to hold weight and be used as a lifting point. I'm surprised you were able to lift it without breaking considering your tank probably weighs around 34-38 thousand pounds. You can also see the original supports have been welded off, which sucks because we design them to be absolutely dead centered on a perfect grade. It will NOT be easy to weld something back and align the tank up as straight as it was originally. I got so much anxiety watching you stand next to it without it being really secured. Those straps do nothing. We use those large C pedestals along with chains due to previous near miss instances.

[@markphillips8019]

Duuuuuudddde!!!!! As a radio ham I am soooooo jealous of your find. Not only could you use it to store precious water needed for your family but you could then add antennas to the top for your various needs. Put your Starlink on the top. Add a GMRS repeater radio system for your site communications. Even get a TV antenna on it too. Good luck!

[@jeremiahsummers8054]

If you have been watching them for a hot minute they already have a plan. It would be strange if they didn't. Part of their shtick is looking like they don't know what they're doing when they really do. They're pretty talented and a lot of that comes from experience we never got to see. However the sketchiness of this video still makes me wonder.. lol

And the German in me threw his hands up in horror on what possibly could have gone wrong :-O You guys are crazy. And I like that.

[@petegraham1458]

This is the craziest thing I have seen you two take on , I am a retired engineer who has done significant project work on 5 continents, seen some sketchy stuff this was equally frightening as some of the best! I could tell by the fittings and tank hat hand bottom outlet it was a dual wall insulated LP cyro tank . Had my fingers crossed for you the whole time.

[@brianbeuning9279]

You can use it for electricity storage. Install it up the hill. In the summer when you have extra power, pump water to the tank. In the winter when you need power, drain the tank and have the water run a hydro generator.

[@paulwisconsin456]

Keep a pump up sprayer filled with water around when cutting up stuff like this, makes managing these small fires much easier

[@SlickBubbles]

If they use the tank to hold a water reserve, they won't need a pump-up sprayer; the water pressure will be plenty from a full tank.

[@dineguru]

You two are both absolutely fearless! Fearless doesn’t mean you’re not scared it means you won’t let fear intimidate you into surrendering to it. There’s no quit in you two. I love it!

[@martinwyke]

The obvious suggestion is stand it up as a water tank. If so I suggest add a watchtower on top. Somehow I think you probably have a totally left field Idea.

[@soulis1000]

And maybe some kind of wind turbine on a additional tower on top of it :D

[@kenoguy10]

WOW!!! THAT WAS INTENSE!!! HOORAY!! YOU MADE IT!!! EXCELLENT!!! Congratulations!. Yes, a fire supression water tank ... or for whatever else a water supply it cold be used for.... maybe even heat storage. (water is good for that) Stand up the tower or easier if possible to mount it horizontally in cradles (make sure no leaks) and insulate it.

Editing tip for Cortney, Change the encoder/codec of your editing software to use H.265 (HEVC) and also change cameras to use H.265 instead of H.264. It's up to 50% better for zero cost.

[@T-Serees-qv5pv]

I spent 30 years in seattle, i was one of the few certified by boeing for fire suppression and water instal, i would hook pipes and build a solar box with a high pressure pump from under tank. i would pipe and install 3 p.i.v. valves post indicator valves, they are what you can hook a fire hose to, i would put 1 in back of house and 1 on each side in front, these are like hydrants, you have a valve box and they are below freezing and you use a valve wrench to open them, doing this will give you high pressure 3 inch firehose ability all around your house and shop, all ideas are good, but this protects you and family.

[@ralphjelomono9068]

I thought for sure this thing was going to end up rolling out of sight down the hill. Congrats on another beautiful creative on-the -fly engineering operation.

What a great find. I'm with several others though - VERY sketchy to move it that way. Will make a great water tank.

I just found your channel in the last week and I cannot stop watching it that might say something about my life at this point. I think you two are amazing I don't know what you're like today cuz I've always seen one episode recent with the big tank family found something good to watch on this KZbin thing

[@bigmikes2140]

That would have some good water pressure if it’s full I would guess

[@G15Movies]

No, water pressure only depends on the hight and not the volume, diameter or shape. So 10m hight is just 14,504 psi (0,1mPa or 1 Bar)

[@trentgay3437]

Set the conical bottom plus legs in concrete. pipe out the bottom set up for hooking to a fire pump. Add guy wires and stairs around it, or ladder. build a small fire lookout/fort on top. Fill with rainwater from roof. Place above house for view or if want more water faster below something with a large roof, Or build a rain catch/little storage shed above it. Or just hide it up in the woods so there's gravity feed to the house.

Ahh, I actually bought the 30 miles down the freeway and said, “No way, these guys are freaking crazy!” Thanks Riley, that was good for a chuckle… glad you made it!!!🎉

[@ShookD]

THAT! Was truly a Nail Bitter! Glad ya all is safe!

I watch all your videos, and I honest to God leaned forward in my chair during this one. This was by far the craziest, and at the same time most epic episode yet. Well done!!! Keep up the great work. And maybe you could fill it with beer? Kidding of course. Perhaps a water tank, or split it and make two tanks? Above your compounds elevation for gravity water pressure. So if there is ever an electrical issue, you can still cook, clean and shower.

I had to read that twice...I thought you were saying God leaned forward in his chair! 😂 (And I thought, "yeah...probably!")

[@MrMinuteman69]

Stand it up and make it into an observation tower. Cut windows in it near top and door at bottom. Put a floor in it near top and ladder inside to get to upper floor. Lower area can be storage.

[@ZeljkoSerdar]

WOW, this is ideal for a sand battery. A sand Battery is a large-scale, high-temperature thermal energy storage system that uses sand as its storage medium. I'm currently making a sand battery for our homestead.

[@joncollier1934]

Great idea it's big enough you could almost do a molten salt box inside it

[@jnl.]

that was my thought as well

[@jnl.]

@@joncollier1934 salt would eat through the metal way too fast.

[@donnapryor2104]

Wow! Amazing! ...No wonder you guys were tired...betcha slept good! Really look forward to watching these videos❤

[@TheConlinHomestead]

I love the chaos that is this channel!♥

[@AmbitionStrikes]

This week felt extra chaotic… 😂😬
