Pulling pipe with Brent 12k lbs worth.

Well it’s another day in paradise for the Mammoth Mountain Life crews. June Lake is moving along nicely now finally and the tennis court project is wrapping. Brent gave me a call about a well down in Crowley that had to be pulled with the crane so I decided to head on down and get some footage. Take a look and see how things went.

Nice variety of clips showing projects. You guys keep showing all thst delicious food and you will have to put a sign out front...WARMING HUT 2

[@stephenpacovich7724]

Keep showing the food im glad you have the dogs and food

[@slomo1716]

WHO the heck doesn't like your food? It looks amazing and I'm especially impressed THAT YOU ARE THE CHEF! I love learning new thing and especially LOVE the scenery! Gorgeous God's Country!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

If someone has a problem with your food, it’s simple to unsubscribe and watch another person’s meals!

[@TexasTimelapse]

Your food always looks good to me. Thats the kind of stuff I eat.

3:57 Where Dave McCoy first left his mark on Mammoth/Long Valley. When I first saw it it didn't look like much of a ski slope; but the advantage for Dave was he never had to worry about grooming the slopes. The glacial moraine took care of that all by itself.

Ben, you guys should have brought the torch out with rosebud to heat coupler to break sections of well pipe. Works like a charm

[@user-rp6nf9sz6t]

I want some tacos...Your grub always looks great; please don't stop. These are helpful to me.

[@JD-zm4eh]

Food looks good, I eat the same thing often. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, medium green chiles, cheese and some siracha inside a burrito.

What was the outcome on the well pipe?

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

5:55 I’m glad to see that LADWP doesn’t claim every drop of water!

[@robertsellers1153]

wrench handle was definitely bending

[@user-rp6nf9sz6t]

Bud's always hungry.

[@stephenpacovich7724]

You can feed Owen but don’t give him the loader to run in the mud LOL

[@briane173]

Wouldn't have mattered _who_ was running a loader, they weren't getting outta that bog once it was discovered to be a bog. It's easy to assume that much of the ground there is granite or basalt or tephra because the whole area is full of it. Really difficult to know how deep forest detritus is until you find out the hard way.

[@stephenpacovich7724]

@@briane173 yes agreed but we love watching you and your whole crew And yes 90 days til opening day at the mountain LOL

[@SuziPoozi]

I'm really curious what the purpose of the felt is, I've never seen it used before. I've always seen the gravel put directly on the cobble so the smaller rocks fill the cervices and pack down nice and solid.

[@plowbrothers365]

Keeps the cobble free of debris so water will flow through

[@SuziPoozi]

@@plowbrothers365 Gotcha. I was thinking that you'd want the very top layer to pack down, but not knowing what the water table is going to be like in the winter, that makes sense.

[@e020443]

So, did they ever break that pipe loose? Did they pull the whole string? How did it go? June Lake project is looking good. I'm curious if the two drains to "daylight" are still running -- I'd like to see how much each is flowing.

[@briane173]

I'm curious about the same thing; it would be gratifying to know the water is running out nicely after all the trouble they went through to reclaim the lot.

[@briane173]

5:00 Apparently someone thought it would be cute to use these placard displays for target practice. This isn't just state (taxpayer) money tied up in these displays, it's volunteer donor money as well; would be nice for people to stop and think for just a moment before going asshole mode immediately.

[@bb-fe9ur]

Im surprised you used the same size pipe on the fence, if it snows like that again it will just bend it all over again..

[@plowbrothers365]

It needs to be removed each year… they didn’t get it down in time last year.

[@jeremyrhoades2579]

u hiring

[@plowbrothers365]

Always 😎

[@jaysoncody8716]

I couldn't hear the story the Tool Pusher was trying to tell about a drilling accident that had happen in the past. Why were they pulling out all the pipe for anyway, to replace a pump head ? Add more substance to the story please! Not all of us can read between the lines of what your trying to film.

[@plowbrothers365]

Installing a new pump.
