Building Our Road (no music, just equipment sounds)

No music, no fluff, just old iron getting put to work. This video is for the guys (and gals) that just want to hear the equipment! #asmr
ENTIRE Road Building Series: • We Bought The Biggest ...
This summer we tackled our biggest project ever... Turning ¾ mile of unmaintained skidder trails into a proper road.
We're a husband and wife team who bought 20 acres of bare off-grid land in North Idaho. Follow along as we turn a pole barn into our dream shop with an upstairs apartment!

Heavy equipment getting the job done and no talking…. What more can a man ask for? How peaceful.

[@LaureReminick]

These shots bring home just how HUGE the project was, and how STEEP that grade had been. You guys are amazing

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We are relieved the project is over, but Riley is already scheming up the next one!

No one would ever know the struggles you guys went through building this road after watching this video, yet for us who fallowed the build week after week we can look back and say what a great accomplishment you made. Your self built million dollar road deserves a commemorative detication sign. Its truely a phenomenal job, many thanks to all that lent a helping hand in its construction.😊

[@suzannekrause9601]

Thank you for the compilation video on the road building. I don’t think one gets the scope of a project until you can see the compilation. Every big project needs a compilation video for your own library but also for your viewers. These videos do not come together in 5 minutes. It must take hours to do this. We are so used to you building some big project and making a mini movie every week that the viewers have become a little greedy for content. In a way it is a huge compliment that you are that good. I have watched your camper video and your tiny house video a few times marveling at what you accomplish. ❤️

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Sometimes it's fun to mix things up and try something new. This certainly won't be our content every week, but it was a fun editing challenge!

[@suzannekrause9601]

You two rock (literally).

[@AC-pr9vr]

Best video ever! Been doing this for almost 40 years, never gets old. Music to my ears! You have what it takes to easily do this every day.

[@freddien7]

You 2 Amaze me!!, Riley never driven a Dozer before, now driving like a Pro!!, Courtney, you have the knack of getting into Any Construction machine, no matter what size and just drive it like a Pro too.!! Good job guys!!

[@thisolesignguy2733]

This is a video for Oliver, when he's 4-5yrs old just play this on loop and it'll keep him busy for hours 😁 That's how my mom kept me busy, she just played bill dance fishing shows on loop and I was 'hooked' lol

[@davidcutter5418]

Great job with that old dozer. If you’re finished with the road it might not be practical to invest in repairing the transmission in it, but I’m sure many viewers (myself included) would be very curious what’s inside it. A repair would make fascinating content.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We are still very torn on whether or not to fix the dozer. Riley is equally as curious as what's going on inside the transmission.

So the massive road construction is now completed? Wow! That’s really quite an accomplishment! Congrats on a job well done! 👍

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks Steve! There is more long term road work we will be doing, but for now our primary road is complete.

[@FirstLastOne]

Oddly soothing and relaxing even knowing how many things didn't go as planned during your road building project but you guys just powered through with a can do attitude and fixed the set backs, one at a time. That's the sign of progress and greatness in the making. Keep up the great work you two!

[@ctech14367]

I was going to be negative and say something about old content, but really after watching this I think it was one of the better videos y’all have posted. Well done!

[@MichelleLHiga]

The massive scale of that project is overwhelming! What a feat of accomplishment!! It looks amazing!! What an amazing transformation!! So incredibly impressive that you were able to power thru, keep plugging away regardless of the setbacks, and git ‘er done!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Sometimes we forget how far we've come with this road. It's fun to watch out videos and see just how much work it took to get to this point!

[@1944chevytruck]

good job everyone!....that was a big job!

[@bc-guy852]

Isn't it incredible - what you can achieve - and what you can learn to do?? Of course, one (or two) have to have Immense Balls of Steel - and you (both) do!! What you have accomplished at your homestead - and on your channel - and of course - achieved the pinnacle with bringing Oliver into the world - is truly inspiring. Congratulations to you both!

[@woody5109]

That old dozer is a caterpillar model 68A, it was my first machine back in 1977. Even in minus 40 that thing would always start because of the pup motor. By the way guys, when you’re dealing with rock, half throttle at best. Otherwise you’ll wreck everything. Never let your tracks spin, push as much as you can without spinning. Enjoy.

[@claramullen]

Wow talk about moving mountains. What a job well done.

[@jbfreeman2762]

Had already watched all the previous episodes of the road building. I’d prefer seeing how the new storage area is coming along.

[@billvandorn5332]

You have come a long way Pilgrims :-)

[@djpWilson]

This really puts the enormity of the project into perspective! Thanks guys. Hope the container shop is going well!

[@creekerjeeper3879]

It was nice to see you hydro seed your roadway cuts in previous video. It will reduce the erosion and decrease the amount of future work you will need to do on your road. I really enjoy your channel and your content.

[@PeterMacvichie]

I love this video, it’s like my 6th time watching it.

[@Michael-uo8sg]

Little by little, bits by bits. Really sums it up. That song will always remind me of you guys when I hear it. Extremely well put together video. Gives a very good perspective of the work that was done to build that road and with no experience to top it off. Congratulation, this was not an easy task. And you got to spend the summer with your friends. You guys rock.

Another cool thing about your videos is when you run into a problem and how you troubleshoot, then comments and help from professional operators come in. Pretty cool insight, and actually builds my confidence in trying new things. Safe building!

Great job! That road looks awsome. It now looks like a senic fun and safer place to enjoy.

[@fikilenako1805]

It's unbelievable the amount of work that was put into building your road. The final test is winter, and snow. Shoukd it withstand it, of which I know it will, you guys must be certified, road constructors, period!

[@ck9006tt]

Something very hypnotic about watching this😊

[@jdmann9551]

I wanted to mention this before, but forgot. Get ahold of your local horticulture organization and see about native wildflower seeds and scatter them alongside the beautiful new driveway. Also there are some places who give away or sell fairly cheaply wildflower seeds and plants for polinators (bees & flutterbys). And scatter those alongside the road as well. Think of the gorgeous drive in and out once they are established. Grass is nice, flowers and plants are better.

[@edadpops1709]

Yep your biggest success yet 😊

[@sleepybubble2]

Love this bringing it all together. Also wad super pleased when @vanwives showed up last week. Been a long time subscriber of both channels. It was a crossover from heaven.

[@thomasjay975]

never realized just how much i needed one of these quiet, heavy equipment, roadbuilding, ASMR videos. Man that was so relaxing and enjoyable. What I think is really cool, is the pride you guys must have in knowing that you guys did everything yourselves. with how well the road turned out. And even if there is something that's not perfect down the road (pun intended) when muddy season comes around, you guys have the equipment, and skills necessary to fix it. SUPER awesome.

I've watched enough to realize you're likely busy IRL with Oliver or traveling when you put out a quick video like this one. I hope we get to see some more hijinks with the vanwives soon. Maybe another video about your boat. Anyway, I hope fortune continues to shine on you both. I'll look forward to next weeks video.
