Rescue Missions From Hurricane Ian.. Record Breaking Flood Waters

[@JHDieseland4X4]

This Hit us really close to home guys. Just want to say thank you for the support. I believe anybody who watches us would have done the same thing if they had the proper resources. These people are going to need help for the next few months if not years to come. If we find a charity we trust and that we know the money will go to the people I will let you guys know.

[@matthewmachin5614]

You are a top man!!

[@klc3478]

I really respect you for that. What you're doing shows the kind of person you really are, I remember the Bible saying that the Lord doesn't look at the outside of a man, but on his heart. You have a good heart. As a man of God I'd like to say, trust in the Lord, He'll never fail you or let go of you , even if you let go of Him.

[@davefroman4700]

Im gonna take a guess and think you got water in that trucks transmission..... Small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. You're a good man JH. I wish the rest of our society would realize that cooperation and collaboration IS the true human nature. Not this dog eat dog, gimme my mansion BS narrative they tell us is a valid social/economic system....

[@jdshanahan4215]

Please do let us know. Ill happily donate no questions asked.

[@JHDieseland4X4]

@@davefroman4700 actually no. The transmission always shifted kinda funny on that truck and even had a check trans light come on a few times before. I guess it was just on its way out. We checked the fluid level and it was clean. No water. Fluid smelled pretty bad

[@SS454LS6]

Mad respect for NOT filming people as their entire lives are literally under water. Amazing what you guys did to help out.

[@privilegedwhitemale306]

Definitely. If he filmed the distraught folk getting rescued, it would look cheap and id of lost respect for him. To get views off of someone's vulnerability, that has just been devastated by a tragedy is pretty low. I don't even watch the news when they show that stuff.

[@michaelbakker5314]

I wanted to say exactly the same. I have a lot of respect for JH for how he portrayed everything

[@4x4BMW]

This is how we know we follow good people .

[@drewwyatt1274]

Exactly this. There is nothing worse than seeing someone shove a camera in someones face and ask "You have just lost your whole life and don't know if your friends and loved ones are okay. How does that make you feel?" This was a very respectful video, showing the aftermath without exploiting people.

[@niewissen9912]

I agree 100% much respect JH

[@klondikeconan8833]

This is how Americans should help each other no matter age, sex, religion, political views, THANK YOU JH DIESEL

[@melaniethies4064]

Gods Faithful Servants. “What you do for the least of my brethren, you do in the name of Me.” Thank you for blessing others with your kindness and compassion.

[@MrPuddinJones]

HUGE RESPECT for not filming people at their lowest point. horrible to see this destruction, thanks for helping who you can

[@allanpolk2681]

As an Arcadia native, I have lived most of my 72 years there, and only recently moved to North Florida. I have never seen flooding there in DeSoto county, Myakka, and North Port anywhere even close to the severity of this in the wake of Ian. It is indeed a disaster that has forever changed countless thousands of lives. Much praise and kudos to JH and the crew along with Garret and James and crew. Desperate times indeed call for desperate measures,and in times such as this stout hearted men step up, to give a hand up. JH, I appreciate you wisdom and consideration to protect the dignity of those that you rescued by not recording them while they were at what is probably the lowest point of their lives. A TRUE HERO. God bless you all. Every one in that area is much in our prayer.

[@ThatOldStoner]

Serious respect for not recording those you helped. A lot of youtubers would go for the views.

[@ronmack1767]

Thank you for helping these people in desperate need. Take care and God bless.

[@timmykidd2119]

WOW !!! I am an AEMT & work the ambulance full time. I did vol. fire, rescue & medical for 11 yr's.. Even growing up, I used to stay up all night helping people. I've been through floods & storms ( helping people ) & understand Florida's situation.

[@_JustinCider_]

You're an absolute legend JH, no doubt about it. I've been through floods in NZ and bush fires in Aus but nothing like what you've shown here. So telling of your character to not record the rescues and you're so right, the last thing those families need is a camera shoved in their faces. Kia Kaha, Kia Maia, Kia Manawanui to all Floridians from Aotearoa New Zealand. Be strong, be brave, be steadfast.

[@dakotashireman6404]

Some people help a ton.. Some people help a little... Helping someone is all that matters. Thank you

[@RHomer-ov5pz]

I'd just like to say, thank you for being a exceptional human being. World would be so much better with more people like you in it.

[@jdshanahan4215]

Out here doing what real men do. From a fellow florida man thank you fom the bottom of my heart for helping all those people. This world needs more people like you JH.

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Justin you are a man of Steel and Gritt buddy, a real people's hero!!! 🙏

[@michaelgarcia2440]

Thank you for your service. You all are true heroes.

[@Mwierenga]

Mad respect JH. Helping people in need with your resources and not filming out of respect. You were one of many in the rescue efforts and you absolutely made a difference in many peoples lives the last week

[@brandonbuckwalter9824]

JH Diesel and 4x4. It takes slot of courage to do what you do. You are like angels to these people in their time of need. Well done for the time you set aside to help others

[@KDad514]

I've learned more about the devastation and hardships from JH and Cleetus than from any news source. Appreciate the respect you show by not filming rescues. Breaks my heart for all those who lost everything. Respect to you brother and your big heart.

[@andrewtegarden9589]

Florida residents are very blessed to have good people like yourself Justin Hildebrand!!! You talked about lives being changed, you reached out in a time of need and changed many lives. Run for President as we’re due a great leader as you showed how much you care. God bless and prayers to all affected. ❤

[@shanecopeland8892]

As a Floridian I'm very proud of you sir using your blessings to help others

[@ednaroberts6500]

Thanks for helping all the ones you helped . God bless you.

[@andrewobrien6282]

JH, I gotta say dude, Florida man to Florida man, this series of videos has shown the man you are more than ANY video you've ever put out. I'm up in the Jacksonville area and we were basically unaffected by the hurricane outside of wind and rain. This city has been blessed to avoid these storms over the last few years. As a man who's lived this area of Florida his entire 31 years, I've never seen something as devastating as Ian wreck the home state. Thank you(and Justin and Drew) for being humble enough to lend your machines and services and time to rescue our fellow Floridians. And for being a smart youtuber that doesn't shove a camera in the faces of people who have gone through something so devastating. You're a true hero to those that were stranded and they'll never forget the dude on the air boat/ army truck that got them out. Much respect to you both, sirs. Much respect. Note to everybody: If you're ever given a platform, THIS is how you show who you are and what you're about. Just be a decent human and be willing to help when you have the means to do so. It's NOT a dog-eat-dog world. Just help your fellow man, or woman.

[@allieandbo]

Might be the best comment on here. Well said Andrew. We went through the same thing with Ida last year here in South Louisiana so I know firsthand what they're dealing with. Sending love and prayers to our Gulf Coast friends down there. It WILL get better. Just takes time.

[@tailwatcher2500]

You ain't done yet, the St John's still has to flow north and you're in flood tide season, you might get several feet above a regular high tide

[@ricktroxell6448]

You are so right if everyone would just help out their fellow man the world would be a much better place

[@superbike155]

Thank you for the videos, no need to show peoples despair. You did a great job without capitalizing on others suffering.

[@thatguychad5075]

Thank you for your service. The world needs more people like you who are thankless.

[@turtle2448thomas]

I'm a born and raised Fort Myers native. I came back to watch this again in wake of what they're calling "the worst hurricane season". Thank you for helping our neighbors up north out. I will never forget the street behind me turning into a river and wondering if my house was next. Thank you for helping out neighbors to the north

[@robertjohnson4784]

Hey Justin I'm 61 born and raised in Florida I've never seen this much devastation so close to home we live a little North of you and we got blessed this video made me cry seeing people lost everything God-bless you Justin and all the people that help Florida proud and strong

[@LAN45850]

THANK YOU for being respectful of the people you are rescuing!!

[@puffthepimp]

JH, Cleeter, and crew.... What amazing human beings. Every event, every T-shirt was worth every penny. This is why I support these guys.

[@MrLucidity]

In a world that's going to shit, seeing stuff like this - people helping others in a time of need - that restores my faith that there is still goodness in the world.

[@jackofallhobbies1545]

For a diesel loving red neck Your level of respect and care for others is awesome

[@anthonyestevez118]

Way to be local heroes guys! Thoughts and prayers to all the people affected by hurricane Ian.

[@marcmuke6378]

You guys are people's heroes. I don't think you know how much you affected some of their lives. My respect

You're a good man Charlie Brown. Neighbors helping Neighbors is good to see!

[@countryboy99656]

JH, you make me damn proud to be an American. The way you selflessly put it on the line for people in your community. If I ever have the pleasure of running across you in life, best bet I’m gonna buy you a beer. Thank you sir.

[@rbdworks4342]

Thank you for your help. We will build back stronger!

[@pyro323]

I live in NY State and I've never experienced a hurricane or flooding, but my heart goes out to these familes who lost everything. Bless you JH and Garrett for rescuing those who are trapped and need help!

their privacy/dignity is important so above all else that ya'll are doing thanks for taking care of that.

[@lynntanner2499]

Thank you for all you've done and for not filming people needing rescue. You are amazing!

[@hinglemccringleberry9138]

You're a legend JH, a true hero. Thank you for being an amazing example of what a real man is.

[@AnN-py2em]

This is horrible, it’s amazing how well the citizens of Florida are equipped to help out their fellow neighbors. Great works

[@lmcwill0502]

No not all of us are equipped as JH is , I wish , I agree who would not want to go save lives and get people out of what must be misery.

[@petgranny194]

Glad your family is ok. So dangerous in those flood waters. Truck down. I so appreciate your respect for those you assisted. Thanks for your good work.

[@ferdis7]

You guys did a tremendous service to your community, well done boys

[@ChairMan71196]

Respect to JH man. You’re using your gas your equipment and your time. Another win for the good ole boys, thanks man!

[@Buddy713]

Man that’s even tough to watch. I know you guys aren’t doing it for any type of recognition but definitely deserve a a big thanks you! To you and all out helping is huge. Keep us posted on any places to donate. It’s tough knowing so many friends I’ve made through bogging out there that are affected by this. I’ll be down in iron horse next week. If you or anyone needs anything just ask!

[@jasonsparshott7208]

Guys I’m not a Florida resident ( yet anyway) but I do have family ( including my oldest son ) and friends there they all made it through with no issues. But I have gone through several large destructive hurricanes over my life here in my home state of Virginia. We only get hit hard every 5-10 years it seems but when they do come up the Chesapeake bay they hit us hard and we on the coast and even inland some have to deal with flooding and huge power outages. I’m lucky I’m the fact that my skill set is very extensive and I’ve always been able to keep my homes safe with all the creature comforts that we have so become used to and have always had my family and friends that aren’t as blessed with me through these time and because of my skills Ive been able to go out and help others as you and your crew did ! I truly appreciate and respect your efforts and care for your fellow American weather you know them or not ! If more people in this screwed up none caring about one another world we have allowed were like you and your crew / friends we could actually be the great nation United as one that we are supposed to be by our forefathers design ! Thank you for all you do and continue to do people should follow in your example ? Respect ✊ and love ❤ sir !!

[@bridgettevazquez4857]

I think that you not filming the family's y'all helped is amazing. It just shows what a real man looks like. So Thank You...

[@rockysquirrel4776]

My cousin and her family are in Naples and are thankful for running water. I'm grateful for folks like you out there helping your neighbors simply because it's the right thing to do. God be with you, JH.

[@travisrenaker2851]

JH I'm just going to say your a god send. You never had to left a finger. But you took every resource you had to help people. I have been in Florida for 5 days now helping. Got two mud trucks that we built up to run for long periods of time. An sealed everything up an put every vent above the cab. An we brought small boats with bigger motors an 2 jet boats. One dosent make any sense cause it's a LS7 with a 2650 Maggie. But helped alot of people an really I totally understand. It's so hard to see the devastation an heart break that all these Americans had to go through an losing almost everything they have. I'm 100% saying sir JH your a hero. Glad to see you an Cleetus an many others that are in you tube to help there American friends an family an random people that just need it. Couldn't tell you have many we did help cause it was incredibly difficult to remember all of them. But thank you sir JH for helping Americans. Biden you suck. Wheres the help. Need more everything out there.
