Massive flood… hydrant hit

[@michelleshaw1211]

Whoever sent treats, Thank You. That was very thoughtful and kind. These hard working men with such good attitudes deserve it. Thanks, have a beautiful day. A Colorado Mountain Grandma USA 💜✌️🌞

[@Ali-ct9pb]

So glad the hydrant got managed. Like you all needed another deluge of water. But on the other hand it was a good test of preparation for flooding knowledge. Bud and Sadie. Too funny. I had a Golden, actually I had two, Maximus and Budd. We named Budd, Barkin Budd. He was a talker. Sweet boys they were. I miss them, so it’s great to see your pups. They make me laugh and smile. Have a great and safe camping trip. You all deserve some relax time. So Nice of folks to send treats. Thanks to viewers. Your guys deserve rewards. It’s kinda strange to see the pavement, but it’s also great!!! God bless you all.

Sir, always with respect, I'm old - really (82) and when I walk down the road where I live, no one moves over a little - traffic is light, even when there is no traffic, trucks, and cars will not move over an inch. I don't know what is going on in people's minds, but there is so little respect. I have a home on the intercoastal canal in Boca Raton Florida. There are multi-million dollar yachts parked on the canal - there are POSTED speed limits - NO WAKE zones, yet still people go racing by creating large damaging wakes - no one cares. I am not an advocate for additional laws, but perhaps some people are simply not capable of driving. (boats, cars, trucks, whatever...) I don't know. Life is crazy. Your team are life savers. Great effort.

It is because of the many YT channel film crews...people know they are on camera so they punch it.

[@carrierobertson293]

Watching your youtube channel from Maryland. On your recent KZbin hydrant hit and flood, you showed the recent snow mound, and you mentioned it might be there till September. As time goes by, you can mention to your patrons how much snow has melted since April 2023. You have really shown us some excellent video of the high portions of Mamith Mountain. This past winter you have basically done a gigantic commercial for life at Mamith mountain resort. Great job.😊

[@2ddw]

I hope you reward your workers well. They have been working really hard!

[@deanstackhouse8775]

Have you seen his cooking often shared with several ? Makes your mouth water. I think they appear to well treated in all respects.

[@JamesBoyd-gc8it]

Thankyou so much again for another awesome video!! I'm looking forward to the camping trip!!! Have a great day

[@steveaumann6335]

Another excellent video 👍👍.

[@susangunn5866]

Love the videos. Can't wait to see the camping trip. Hi Sadie and Bud.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

You don’t know how much, How bad, I wished I would have been out there to help you and be with you and your team. I am completely familiar with massive snow removal operations. Born and raised here in NW Montana. And I can run a wide variety of heavy equipment. Furthermore, I have been a supervisor in the oil fields of Eastern Montana Western, North Dakota. Besides That, I grew up and was raised in a logging family that has owned a tremendous amount of various pieces of heavy equipment for logging, AND Western Star Rigs for our log trucking-side. My family on a yearly basis keeps between 40 and 45 Western Stars, running. And my father, side of the family, and 3 of his brothers, along with him, and some of my cousins and, 2 of my brothers, they own and run a sizable road building company that builds and maintains dirt Roads for the U.S. Forest🌳 Service. Here in NW / SW / And Western Montana & Eastern Idaho. All Off-Road Building and maintaining hundreds of miles of dirt roads through the national forest and the U.S. Forest 🌳 Service.

[@50dafuz]

That guy standing on ice at the edge of the hangar shoveling snow with no safety harness made me cringe.

[@briane173]

"I'm a professional -- I know what I'm doing." I suspect that if he did go sliding off it wouldn't be a long fall, with as much snow as there is piled up behind the hangars.

[@mary-ue4ir]

Was thinking that too!

[@GT-mn3bx]

I jumped off a 2 story roof the other day. I think I caught 3 feet of air!.

[@rainmaker3700]

You will be surprised how fast things melt out once it starts getting really warm, especially snow with a lot if dirt in it. The dirt actually absorbs the sunlight making it melt faster. In 2010-11 I thought we would have snow all year, but it was pretty much gone by mid August, some North facing protected chutes up high had snow till about end of September-early Oct.

[@TheBillyBlack]

The fire department hit their own hydrant?? Yikes!!

[@kathrynbaker8215]

Great video. It’s hard to imagine as I sit here in the Midwest where there was virtually no winter. Good luck!

[@JamesBoyd-gc8it]

I was wondering if you can tell us how your two sweet puppies came into your life! They love hanging out with their dad!! 🐕🐶🚜🦴 Thanks for all you do!! Brittany

[@dmccollom1969]

I hate it when high clearance vehicles ford deep water without any consideration for a wake. I lived in an area the used to flood and waves would enter my garage. I finally just tossed a bunch of four foot dimensional lumber into the puddle so that they would hit them at speed and slow the F down.

[@MB12116]

That is illegal.

[@gregprince2523]

Row row row your boat!!!!

[@MB12116]

Hey, when you get a chance, I would be interested in hearing more about your business model…ie same crews for framing and shoveling, snow removal in the winter custom homes in the summer? Also still don’t know your name.

[@earndoggy]

There's gonna be flooding even without fire hydrants busting, what a mess! Glad they were able to get it under control soon. We're going to have some problems where we live in Alaska. There's been a lot of snow here too and we haven't even started breakup yet. We have sandbags and pumps ready to go at our house LOL

[@ddl2k7]

I would tie stuff around the trees where the snow finally stopped to show people how much snow there really was after it melts, that's insanity

[@GT-mn3bx]

We have marker trees in the woods. Highest I've seen is 50 feet and they have had many bigger years.

[@lucmarchand617]

I run dozer many years ago on pipeline job when open right a way I near hit h2s pipe and valve due big snow bank in northern alberta is very scary see stuff under snow in california thanks video show people.

[@danielshires3580]

Wow, I really feel for you guys. It’s gonna be a crazy couple of months. Lots of water.

[@cdawg9149]

Dude that had to find the valve that turns the hydrant off probably called in sick once he heard about the news.

[@DavesW]

You’ve got the most California surfer accent ever hahaha it’s hilarious, I mean that in a good way dude!

[@patroberts5449]

If you get that Piston Bulky be sure to review what happened to Jeremy Rener and his horrible accident! For sure not just a big snow toy! Please use with training and caution!

[@skitown11]

They come with emergency brakes, which that idiot chose not to use.

[@theathjr]

Insane how tall those snow banks are !!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

What amazing piles of snow! It’s too bad that we just can’t have “normal” winters, but we probably never really did have them?

[@flinch622]

Yes, there have been piles that high before: probably remains through June. Melt from the high side always undercuts on its way downhill.

[@robertkeller5930]

90 degrees in the shade in extreme northwest Iowa. Sunday April 9th was the first 50 degrees day of the year. Are there two fire stations in Mammoth? I lived in the Blue Goose Inn in 2013-14 and the area around that fire station looks completely different.

[@chuckdworak1909]

All I can say with all that snow still there is wow you guys will be skiing at the end of August😮😮

[@GT-mn3bx]

Not the first time. Way back they shut down all but a few lifts mid August so they could pull maintainance for the upcoming season. Then reopened those and shut down the others.

[@GT-mn3bx]

7:38....This is why when people haul azz through water and drown out their rig with wet electrical or water in the intake, it's hard to feel bad for them. Luckily she's in a truck, but still.

[@MusicLovingFool1]

Yup! Agreed. I learned a long time ago going thru flash flooding on city streets in Glendale/Phoenix AZ...go slow or you lose your brakes...at least with a 1973 duster...hehe

[@le_th_]

Short-sleeve weather worries me. That's A LOT of snow to melt. sheesh

[@martinklaus2203]

That MDF will not be happy with all that water.

[@GT-mn3bx]

19:49 Reds meadow or out by the airport? In 1995 We had our sleds and a local guy break trail and take us to the ones in Reds, from Old Mammoth, during a dump at Midnight of all times on a goat trail. Luckily we went out on the main road/203. I still want to find that route again. Dude was a human GPS.

[@teddybear4020]

maybe set the 40 foot ladder in back of pickup. that would make it taller . plus it could be braced well and srcured safely . with straps.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Are the PlowBrothers also home builders and developers? KZbin brought me to your channel only a couple of months ago.

[@teddybear4020]

it would be interesting 2 know how they look after snow melts away . cause now only see roof and smoke stacks

[@rustybarbacles355]

We always called our driveway deer lake

[@bigmikes2140]

You guys ever cover a roof or anything with a black tarp that’s in the sun to melt snow?

[@jmb1864]

We just came back from Mammoth. It was crazy to see in person.

[@nononsenseBennett]

Would placing black tarps on the roof help melt the ice faster?

[@briane173]

The Big Thaw, she's a'comin'. I'm hoping against hope that I can get down there in the next couple weeks before it gets crazy. Can anyone tell me what shape the Quality Inn is in down there? Planning two nights and don't wanna spend a ton of $ on a room, but last I saw the hotel was buried to the point where you almost couldn't see it.

[@deanstackhouse8775]

I hope the noise from my jet didn't throw a loop in the video ya'all. I asked for the quiet version so I could rest on the way to my oil fields. I'm single and drive an Audi. My P.O. Box is 007 in Lion town Idaho

[@MelvinSharp-qz2zo]

I thought that was the Plow Brothers jet dropping them off from a night in L.A.

[@shawnalLovesJesus]

Sadie is such a kick. Did you say something? No. Okay back to putting the head in the snow, waggy tail butt in the air.

[@teddybear4020]

WHERE WAS that .... the cabins or homes . where basicicly u only saw roof top and smoke stacks. where is that at . i do not think u say .

[@jackstearns1549]

The bad part of melting snow is that it gets real dirty and ugly.

It sounded like you said “we hit a fire hydrant” does that mean your company is responsible for all the home damage from flooding?

He said I'm glad we didn't hit it,I guess a firetruck hit it.

When you pump water you use it to melt the snow around your skies

One fire hydrant. There's a lot of snow to melt.

what ?? no drains 4 the water. !!!!! now it mayb going into people garages.after hydrant was hit by another contractor causing a river .!!!!

[@tinydancer7426]

I see a regrading and repaving of a driveway job in your future so that you don't have standing water in your driveway. Shouldn't it have been graded and paved to drain to the road in the first place?

[@jefferybublitz7968]

Yeh, this busted hydrant, should have been," A No Brainer," with all this snow!!! Everywhere.!!! It kinda like that statement about call th utility company, before you dig.

Usually the FD marks these well and exposes them. Not sure if they missed this one or what.

AT THIS.rate. i would not evan complain . about the mud . after about 50-75 feet snow. I just do not understand digging alllllllll that snow near new building sites . because it is like they trying RUSH THINGS and things can happpen evan more dangers can happen

hi, hey maybe you could have some kind of a contest to win merch by leaving a 5ft square piece 12ft high or more and of course guesses for what date it melts down to 1ft high, leave a piece in the lot with the dump trailer, people enjoy guessing games to win free stuff.

[@SkepticalRaptor]

A friend from mammoth told me that someone died falling off the roof while cleaning it. I hope it wasn’t one of your guys.
