Getting used to the heat in the summer is a lot easier for me. Most people don’t spend any appreciable amount of time outside in extreme heat or cold, so it’s hard to realize your body and mind can acclimate. Cold weather still sux though.

You’re a huge inspiration bud, I wanted to buy brand new truck and i said Andrew fixes his stuff, let me fix mine, and if you have to buy - buy a second hand, who needs all the headache with payments etc. Andrew knows how to run the business 👍

[@Dawt_Calm]

I'll give that a thumbs up. If someone is looking to have a shiny truck that looks good pulling up to the contractor door at Home Depot, then by all means go for it. But you're right, a work truck doesn't need to look good, it needs to get the job done. Plow trucks take a huge amount of abuse, especially in rural areas. It's not like plowing paved driveways in the suburbs. There are hidden stumps and boulders under the snow. Hell I cracked a frame on some frozen ground that heaved up once. I limped home, welded some patches and it's still holding strong four years later. One of my cousins bought a plow for his 2018 F250, he drives it like it's made of glass because a major hit will screw up his beautiful truck and cost a bundle. Useless.

[@crippledrider]

Very impressive, you seem to be a capable young man, nothing stops you

I think my favorite part about watching the snow plow videos is the fact you get to see all the other jobsites I've witnessed in other videos, except covered in snow, which shows time has passed..

[@winstonviceroy6125]

Recognized the silver travel trailer parked in the trees where you did a job, and also that building you took down some trees and dug out behind it for better drainage on another job.

[@jonguyton1]

I agree with you. This guy has tons of wood just lying around so having a nice wood stove to back up to every now and then would not seem to be to expensive.

[@jamesnm21]

I dont like messing around with getting the wood stove going so unless it's pretty cold I don't bother. When I do though I do it the same way every time. Crumpled newspapers, 6 pieces of firewood stacked 2 on 2 on 2, diesel fuel and blowtorch. Takes about 5 minutes and includes hauling the wood from the pile.

I spend countless hours in a tree stand hunting and let me tell you, when you cant move and your exposed to the wind day I n and day out you start to build up a tolerance to the cold.
