POV- Pulling Camper Out of Trees with Excavator after Hurricane Helene - Fixing Driveway

[@rocks-if6uh]

Sorry to everyone that has lost so much in these storm damaged area's. It just tears at my heart 😢 for ya'll. Thank you Kings Excavation for getting these communities the help that they need and taking the time to still be personal and professional to these great people that im sure are still feeling so much pain and lost. Thank you for sharing your videos that takes more of your time to edit and post. Please take care of your mental health also as im sure there are some times we see things that can become overwhelming and it can wear on you down the road. Hope everyone stays safe and your crew gets back to home and gets some rest. ❤ hearing the story about the rainbow 🌈 bridge dropped me to my knees😢 😢 it took my breath away❤ im humbled as im so proud and lucky to have been adopted by a feline 🐈 in 2014 and she means more to me than i could ever believe and she showed up just when i needed ❤ 😊 much love and prayers to all! Thank you again and we are all in this together.

Said it before & will say it again: That kid operating the backhoe, it's just like poetry. Smooth & beautiful! ❤

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

He reads these comments, so I'm sure he'll like this! Thank you!

[@joanneweislocher8540]

There’s that awesome kid! God Bless everyone there🙏

[@brendachilders8075]

I was masonry foreman for years, up to 15 years ago, if we’d had coms back then like y’all do now… man, the man hours saved… I’m loving your work, guys! 🙏💪🇺🇸

[@allysonmurray1731]

Damn, that young man operates that machinery likes its an extension of himself. Awesome skill to have.

[@Night_hack]

He’s got the touch doesn’t he?

[@jtrncr]

There's another person's channel, the family runs (ran) a farm, and the teen son is unbelievably good with heavy equipment. I suppose he's done it since his father considered him "big/old enough" and it shows. Probably this young man learned young as well. Definitely a great skill and it pays good too I bet!

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Agreed! His 22nd birthday is actually today!

[@Gsnoop440]

Bless Yall for helping!!

[@joanneweislocher8540]

You’ve all done a beautiful job!🌹

[@carmenbecktel849]

[@autumncooper74]

[@cherylhaugen1897]

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

[@margaretnifong6419]

Y’all are amazing! Makes my heart so happy to see your work! Thank you so much!

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

[@hannahloveesbeachhy]

Dang he's a good operator!!

[@Night_hack]

I’ve enjoyed watching your crew. Safe journey home…😊

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Thank you!

[@aaronsavage5522]

Great job guys!

[@marilynbowe650]

Don’t you just love big equipment and the operators! 🙏🏻❤️

[@debracater61]

Love to watch your videos. You work so well as a team, smooth and efficient. The Volvo operator is just perfection. He that machine like it's part of his body.

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Thank you so much!

[@aprilchamberlain1677]

My mom's neighbor amazes me every time I see him running his machines. They are like an extension of his body and he knows how to use it! I love watching these guys in action! I don't know how they make it look so smooth!! Keep up the good work! Seeing good operators in action reminds me of a puppeteer it's magical! I really appreciate you sharing this!!!! It's awesome!

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Thanks for your support!

[@GDub1958]

Seeing this RV, reminds me that the electrical system in RV's are awesome, i.e. HeavyDuty 12ga 30' x 3 prong connector, invertor module to convert from 110V to 12V and circuit to charge RV's 12V batteries, the RV breaker boxes are awesome and serviceable and repairable, kitchen refrigerators are worth looking at because they usually can run on 110V/12V and or switchable to propane etc., that could be used in some of the tiny homes to reduce cost. Hard surfaces can be treated for mold(s) including electrical wiring. Anything with electronics probably not usuable(?) might work but insides are contaminated and need cleaned/sanitized. PLEASE I do not want to suggest that someone that has gone thru such devastation doesn't deserve the best BUT only that when "new" is not an option for what ever reason. The builders of all the tiny homes may want to consider new RV components when feasible and acceptable and up to code, in their designs, right? Thanks for all the Awesome Mountain Neighbors that are setting an example to All Americans on what the "Golden Rule" means and use as an example when explaining how we should all treat one another, to our children!❤❤❤ IN GOD WE TRUST ❤ G_Dub

[@lucmarchand617]

This good give chance young guys run heavy equipment learn on this.Calgary alberta 2013 floods south town high rivers got same golf course,camping ground,baseball ground huge mess.Helping folks just god sense.Thanks update amen.😮

[@normam1222]

This guys has some mad skills!!! Awesome job!

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Thank you so much!

[@HildaNethercuttMclawhorn]

King’s excavation is doing a super job ❤

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Thank you!!

[@PamelaGundy]

I’m a little teapot! I love it! You all are awesome and amazing!❤😂❤

[@poetmaggie1]

All that downed wood could be used this winter even if it has not aged much, someplace in the devistated area.

[@annaowens7053]

Awesome job you all do ! 👍

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Thank you so much 😀

[@BJH862]

Thank you for all you are doing. I do have an idea that. Might help owners. If you could post a picture of vehicles license plates that are found then owners could decide what to do with them.

[@bryanstaten5585]

Wow, mold city inside there. Maybe could have cleared the debris before pulling it through it? Probably doesn't matter, camper is trashed.

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

Yeah it was totally trashed & all bent up anyway

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Were they going to be able to repair the camper that was jammed up against the tree for somebody to live in until they can find a place to live or rebuild a house

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

no it's a total loss

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Is it possible for those big trees to be milled into lumber to raise money to help the victims? I know some are in difficult to access areas for retrieval, but some like the one shown seems to be in a decent location.

[@goodwaterhikes]

👍😎

[@dougeing6521]

Why is there no crusher plant on site? Doesn’t it make sense to make crusher run for paving and 3/4” stone for construction use right there where it’s needed?

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

There's a few crushing sites spread out but not near here

[@dougeing6521]

@ I understand that. Building and paving is going to be a long term project. Why not use what has been washed up and exposed to achieve these goals? Why try to bury that stone and haul in new stone from a distant location? Crushers and screens are transportable. They can be moved as the existing materials are consumed. No mining involved! Call me stupid but I see a big opportunity to serve the desperate needs of that area and make a ton of money! All of that heavy equipment is not going to be running for free.

[@sunset6010]

If this driver is is 21 y.o., when did he start? 🎉

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

He grew up on a farm, which helps!

[@Rok_Piletic]

that would be a lot of woodchips_?

[@KingsExcavationSTL]

yes it would

[@enjoydride1083]

I hope you all know that you need masks. Black mould causes severe respiratory illness. Stay safe.

[@buddyphelps9692]

need a new crew
