Watching you drill and blast the rock brought back memories of when I was a teenager and I would help my Dad to do the same thing. We used an air operated drill run by a gas compressor and would poke a hole in the end of the dynamite and insert the blasting cap. The cap was detonated by a fuse which we would have about 10 feet long. Light it and run. We were doing this to create a dam on a creek and had federal approval. Can't do that anymore. I still remember the sound as it went off. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory.

[@miguelclarkeottovonbismarck]

must have been back in the 60;s or 70's, the golden era of course. Now you can't do it anymore as civilization is declining and decaying. Full of robosapiens.

[@jaykay3080]

I've watched professional blasters use just enough explosive to break the rock into manageable pieces for an excavator (Hi Dave!), but your method is much more fun and there's almost nothing left to clear up 😁

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

HI Jay!

[@laurencedarabia2000]

Dave is very adaptable to situations, when demolishing near structures or people he is careful and uses little explosives. When he's sure he won't do any damage he works like this guy using lots of explosives. Demolishing with dynamite requires adapting to the situation. When you don't have digging machines nearby, the explosive not only breaks the rock but also displaces it

[@TechGorilla1987]

[@jonesrick1]

Wow! Those detonations were absolutely awesome! You've got more energy than I do in a week. Much respect.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

"Wow! Those detonations were absolutely awesome! You've got more energy than I do in a week. Much respect." I worked as a mechanic for a company decades ago that did seismic work in the oil field industry, and other things. One time they hired out to drill shot-holes in the floor of a rock pit so they could loosen up more rock to excavate. The floor of the pit was 100 feet below grade. I had to go out there and replace the starter on the shot-hole rig so they could get it started and drive it out of the pit. While I was doing that they got all the holes they had drilled packed with explosives and as the shot-hole rig was driven out of the pit they ran the wire that connected all the holes together up to the top out of the pit. So I hung around to watch what happened. When they set off the explosives you really could not hear it but felt it through your feet. I stood there and watched the floor of the pit, about the size of a football field, rise up into the air with part of it going about 300 feet into the air. I quickly rolled under my pickup to avoid being hit by rocks that flew over to where we had stationed ourselves at the rim of the pit. I think they used a little too much ammonia nitrate between the sticks of TNT in the holes.

[@kjstutzman7692]

Thanks! More blasting please! This video was awesome! Do you have plans to up your video output (say once a week?) Also many of your earlier videos, you say you will finish some items later … but have not so far! Like your water well Like your rock crusher Like road work Love the work, please more videos!

[@M.BJOERNSTROEM]

Wow, thanks! As it is right now, there is no way i can do that. But hopefully more often than now in the future. The problem with the bigger projects is that they get really expensive, and i need bigger machinery to handle it. So i'm saving up to get it. But the crusher and the road is somethings i'm going to work with this summer.

[@DanKoning777]

I noticed others have asked the same question before, and I was thinking the same. After seeing just a few videos I wondered why there's only 54k subs when the content/editing, and Bjoernstroem are all great. The videos wouldn't need to be as long, or as finely tuned re: the editing, making it easier to produce more videos which would be more profitable for him. He should have 500k to 750k subs easy, but that's jmo.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

The entire video was without a doubt, excellent! But that last big blast? Talk about OVER-THE-TOP!! EPIC!!

[@richardmiels3402]

Unusual, interesting and sometimes remarkable. Your camera work and editing is intelligent. The content is real frontier activity which one doesn't get much chance to see, let alone do anymore. Thanks for this channel; it is now a favourite and I expect the subscriptions will soar. From rural South Australia (limestone and granite country so blasting using nitropril has been frequently used).

There are literally dozens, if not hundreds of channels documenting the same, or similar things. You don't realize that they exist because you haven't searched for them and are waiting for them to be recommended to you, but they're out there.

Worth the effort of doing that horizontal drill after turning that rock into gravel ! Great video.

[@quietbrianquiet]

Best video opening ever, "This rock is in the way and we will use explosives to move it"! haha. Note to self, 5 sticks is a lot if you ever get around to blasting rocks. Beautiful and Thank You. Your drone shot shows a lot of standing water. It will be a few weeks before you get into the forest for sure. 5th day in the row with thunder storms here in Texas. Lots of water also right now. Farmers grow a lot of cotton around me so I am sure they are very happy. Thanks for the video.

[@IncredibleCorey]

This was so much fun to watch. If you zigzag the drainage ditch it will slow down the force of the water so less erodes and you won't have as much to keep clearing out

[@jimthayer9837]

From the rock he is digging up,it would require many explosive discharges and be very expensive

[@EricKremer]

That last blast was over done, but it was cool. You made what’s called a counterforce charge. Essentially it’s just explosive waves colliding and multiplying inside a hard target. You could’ve had a slightly better effect on the rock if you did not place a charge in the center. Also if you have detcord or blasting cap at the furthest out point. The wave will travel more effectively through the explosive and into the target.

Not seeing the whole picture, however looks like it could have been done intentionally as a check dam which helps slow the water preventing erosion and acts as a sediment trap.

Hey man, have been enjoiying your video's ,watching them alllll the way through, its addictive for me, that boulder at 43:54, just before you touch off the explosive, the boulder looks so solid, to then just kinda melt into SO manny small bits, love the view from the drone, you really see how far it throws them bits of rock into the woods, so cool, it dose such a neet job, you would think its way more messy, really appreciate you and your video's, really love watching stuff like this, the rock crusher vid was the first i seen, really loved that one, didunt miss a minet of it, most people dont talk to, but you make it more intresting by infourming us what you are doing, your plan of acction and all, and just the diffrent camra angles, really enjoiy it, thank you ever so much for shareing it with us all, i will happly keep watching, you have a sub from me.

[@usernamesreprise4068]

There is a really good reason why professional explosive demolition workers dig the holes deeper and back fill the drillings with quick drying concrete slurry once the charges are in place, it is because doing so gives a bigger bang for half the weight of explosive charges by impulse expansion, you obviously know that if you take a handfull of black powder for instance and pour it into a heap on a flat table surface and ignite it, it simply goes POOOOF in a giant cloud of black smoke - but take the same amount of powder and seal it in an airtight case and loose it off there is a sudden HUGE expanding vapour explosion, you could have done the same job with around a quarter of the explosive you used and if back filled deeply enough with rock hard set slurry would have just instantly vapourised that boulder rather than just smash it into largish chunks....but then I suppose you wouldnt have gotten half the BANG you were looking for - just an ex boulder and a hole where it used to be.

If you only fill the holes 30-50% with explosives and pack with clay, you can blow up a lot more rocks per kilo of boom boom and not need to deconflict your drone. You will also break up the bottom of the rocks better.
