I was in the path of totality here in northeast Texas. When it got dark all the street lights and solar lights came on. It got really cool and the birds started landing on the electric lines as if to go to sleep. Im glad i was able to witness this eclipse, it was realy something!🌑

[@davidjames2431]

That sounds awesome. I'm so jealous.

[@daywalker4029]

We had totality on the last one that happened a while back. Everything happened like that here also.

[@vickifrakes9488]

That’s what we did 60 years ago. I’m 66, so I remember the poking a hole in a box and holding a piece of paper behind it. Worked perfect. We couldn’t afford the glasses for watching all the different eclipses.

[@NobhillFunny]

You saw a Mark 4 tamper roll by. That machine lifts and levels the tracks. I’m sure off camera another machine went by which would have been a ballast regulator which follows the tamper and makes the ballast look good!

[@lindadonahue9279]

I was in the path of totality here in Ohio. It was magnificent and something I will never forget. Keep the great videos coming!

[@fireside9503]

I hear it’s really out of this world.

[@barbiebrannam233]

Another awesome video,I just watched it on the TV. Couldn't find any glasses.😁❤

[@CurtisBeckett-x7o]

Another recell on Ford gas

[@nancykelsey1661]

All libraries gave them out free..oh well, next time

[@shanepepi9148]

bloody hell crazy how many beers you had 🤣 cheers from the land down under

[@CrazyQuady]

Always have extras in the cooler in case someone stops by!

[@Stardusster12]

Thanks, Mike for all the video content you do. Always fun being along for the ride. I was in the path of totality here in Texas. Like you, I try to avoid big crowds and only had 30-50 people where I was. I drove 243 miles but it was so worth it. Totality was so worth the travel time. The temperature dropped and everything got quiet including the birds. Pictures don't do it justice and the total experience was amazing. A once in a lifetime experience. Keep up the adventures, I am always riding shotgun. G

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

Yes, Sonic Drive-thru is the Premier Manufacturer of Precision Eclipse Optometry. 👍 🙂 Good video, thanks!

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@donmich3332]

Most definitely need to buy a case of bottled water 12 oz or 16 oz to keep as a backup for the backup 😊

[@KeithGentry-lp8qm]

I was gonna suggest keeping 2 half-gallon jugs of water that can be bought at Dollar Tree, if they are in your area, as back-ups.

[@ChipWoods-bp3ex]

In the Silverado you always had bottled water in the door.

[@salvatorebaleno9807]

We were in the path of totality, but had significant cloud cover. The darkness was neat. The 360° bright horizon was cool, it was like a crazy sunset in every direction.

[@CrazyQuady]

Yeah its an amazing experience

[@daysofmylife2652]

Relaxing video really appreciate your video 📷

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@kimberlys.7132]

Hey, you can be Smoky and I could be your Bandit!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

You always seam” two have fun when you are camping. Have a good night.Ms.Vella.I am 86.

[@Steve-Goff]

The next solar eclipse in the US will be 2044. I highly recommend being in the path of totality. It was truly remarkable. I thought it was going to be lame but it was amazing. Almost spiritual.

[@jeff_ro2610]

That was a tamper. It tamps the ballast under the ties to adjust the tracks

[@TikitourOverland]

Mac n cheese is the best! Nice camp Quady cheers again 😊

[@CrazyQuady]

🍻

[@jeffmclaren6352]

That was a mark iv it lift and tamps track

[@michaelterry5840]

Hey Mike It was my first time looking at solar eclipse..

[@cosmecasas9342]

Don't leave no stone unturned Mike Q. This video was profound, and I m glad you did a video on the eclipse. The next one is 2026. I saw it thanks to a friend who gave me glasses.. IInteresting that maybe the next video for any eclipse will be more in-depth. Take care and continue progressing.. See ya .

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@kristigail]

I was driving back to north Texas after car camping in Kentucky, at the LBL with a bunch of my Sasquatch loving, weirdo friends. I always try to stop for gas at Love's along the way. Sure nuff, I see the sign, pull off the highway, and find the most lovely little Love's ever. I was somewhere in Arkansas, the place was well off the highway and surrounded by tall pines. I filled the tank then pulled up to the building to use the facilities, but first, I checked Facebook. Face buried in my device, I started hearing sounds of awe and delight. I looked up to find it completely dark outside! I jumped out of my Honda Element, and what I sight. I had somehow stopped for gas at the perfect time, and was rewarded with a once in a lifetime experience, shared with strangers in a parking lot. It was incredible! Love your stuff! Tell me where you get your sheets! Hard to find them to fit my cot. ❤️🏕🏞🌌👣

[@fireside9503]

Excellent vidja, Mikey

[@timhawk3555]

The equipment that went by before the train is a tamper. It lifts the tracks to level them then tamps ballast under the ties.

[@olD_Eazy681]

That little trick shot pulling out the beer was a cool idea

[@kimpatella1606]

I loved the quarters on the track! Cool Eclipse!

[@patshankle3281]

Yea here saw the same thing least we know when u filmed this. Thursday is a good day. Really enjoyed this video. ❤😊

[@Crazytrain334]

quady they dont light meaning the boxes because they are laced with a special liquid that causs them not to be flameable so a fire can spread which is why they dont light they burn but dont light that well. They have to reach a certin temp to get it to burn

[@kj6jfx]

I don’t remember the exact year, but some time in the late 70s I made a viewing box and got extra credit in my science class. I’ve used the same principle to view other eclipses throughout the years.

[@ChipWoods-bp3ex]

Was 100% here in Massillon Ohio. Was awesome.

[@deeisme1369]

We would use a box with a hole and a piece of paper. That was our glasses back then, coolest part was when it almost felt like nighttime

[@derekduncan900]

Please do teepee style fire's instead of log cabin. My boy scout days still bug me. Dont light anything till you have built the whole structure. Ball up a bunch of newspapers, put kindling on top, then smaller logs and light

[@raydick9080]

never ever look into the sun without protecting spectacles! great vlog like always

[@jasonedwards2606]

Loving the close up of the fire kindling

[@themickster63]

Morning y'all. Great as usual. Love your shots of the eclipse.

[@CrazyQuady]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@Zederok]

Now that Mike is back to posting twice a week I feel grateful.

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@philbolton1300]

Hello Mike from Melbourne Australia off the eclipse was a non event downunder thought you did a Sterling job and yes the cardboard and hole trick was a great favorite way to view an eclipse here also keep videos coming most enjoyable.....

[@RobertStroupe]

Great video. I had to look up what a morel was! Lol. Thanks for taking us along. 👍🇺🇸

[@CrazyQuady]

You bet!

[@felipegaytan8895]

I lost it when he said “ I don’t know what that says “ Then BOOM “ OHHHH, BUENO “ 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀

[@olD_Eazy681]

You should always have a case of water in the truck. Never know what can happen.

[@davespoemsandsongs9497]

Hello Mike great camping site chicken Bacon Ranch with Mac&cheese did you enjoy it

[@danielcarter305]

Yep, everytime there was a solar eclipses me and my sisters would make the pin hole viewers we cut a hole in one side of the box and put a sheet of aluminum foil and poked the pin hole in that so you got a clearer projection of the sun.

[@ritafoster8625]

Watched it o. My back deck in Indiana. It was dark enough for my solar lights to go on. Cool

[@tominohio8332]

We were in full totality here in Cleveland and it was awesome for those 4 minutes

[@Lisajb11]

Hey Mike, great video. I'm always worried when you use a larger pot to boil water that it might spill and burn you be careful 😊 Food looked great, and I loved the Eclipse footage. TY! I Liked the artwork on the beer box and can too! Loved the Wizard ! Always fun watching! Looking forward to next adventure 😊

[@rayshellgoretee2891]

My birthday was April 8th😊 I slept next to tracks across America for many years. Im retired now, but It still always feel like home. Loved Uncle pete pulling a junker on by.. I Always thought them rigs were just line fixers 😂 Cool video

[@CrazyQuady]

Happy birthday!!

[@otekabarton4012]

I watched it and we had a total eclipse were I live we had so much fun to.

[@Allnightexplor]

Good video. I am into model trains so a rail fanning video would be awesome!

[@fungula34]

30 yrs on the Railroad and I couldn't tell what that machine was Lol...looked like a tamper

[@otekabarton4012]

Thanks Mike love watching 👀 all the time ⏲️ hope you are having fun 😀

[@CrazyQuady]

Always! Thanks for tuning in!

[@dluu25]

Full belly and then cozy under the covers watching a movie must feel so good.

[@liferepair3508]

@crazyquady the machine on the tracks is a tamper. It lifts the ties and shakes gravel under to level the track.

[@thalleshoward3962]

That thing you saw on the track I don't know what they call it. But I 90 % sure it repair the tracks

[@ScottGarrett-w7o]

Hey buddy,this is big Scotty enjoying your new video from Rogers Arkansas! We had an awesome eclipse here . My wife and I grilled Carna Asada and Jalapeño sausages....😮Almost totality here.

[@eddierichardson4205]

Keep them coming. From London Kentucky. ❤

[@CrazyQuady]

Will do!

[@janiecamden9061]

We got 99.9% totality here in wood river illinois about 20 minutes from downtown stl. Looked like waterworld and it got chilly way cool. We found 6 lbs of morels im cutting them up and soaking them watching you hunt.

[@CrazyQuady]

6 pounds! Nice!

[@Highplains_Dirtbagger]

Hey Mike! Fellow railroader here and huge fan of your channel. (Sent you the folding table 😅) That machine was a Tamper. It tamps that rock underneath the ties or timbers as some call it. It’s used to keep the track smooth and in spec! Hopefully he didn’t have his face in his phone, it’s a big no no! 😂 Be careful out there man!

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for the info!

[@Highplains_Dirtbagger]

Heck yeah! Anything railroad I can help you with I would love to. You’ve inspired me to build out my truck and camp out in it. Least I could do for you.

[@MrStevo440]

I remember My Dad poking holes in a box and watching an eclipse back in 69 .. I was 6 or 7..

[@tracker5849]

Long ago in school I remember watching 1 thru a paper towel tube that was 60 plus years ago.

[@Ellis157]

its the troll trail lol

[@michaelgawel5823]

Best coverage of the eclipse on the internet! Great KZbin! Thanks Mike!

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnholliday364]

Did the cardboard box/paper trick with the partial eclipse in Lincoln in ‘94, it definitely works. I looked the event up and it says it was “annular” which is a little different somehow I think.

[@kpNov23]

Moon shadow is too small for totality

[@fatsdulange]

Way cool vid. Loved the train part, as YT just lost a guy (drowned) named Hobo Shoestring that used to ride the rails. Maybe some hatch green chilies in that meal. Theres a group of folks that are look alikes of characters from the movie, going around to festivals and recreating scenes. They've got the cars and semi too. Eastbound and Down Tribute. When you turned on the movie, i thought of one song, Bandit. Sorta fits you in a way. "They call you the Bandit, an outlaw untamed. Shackled only by freedom, you wear no man's chain. Some say they despise you, well, maybe they do. But deep down inside them, I bet they wish they were you." 😎

[@CrazyQuady]

Dang, I didn't hear that about Hobo, I've watched some of his stuff

[@James-sir]

If you have any sweets you can mix the coffee in the sweets if you have no water eat the coffee

The eclipse here in our state of Maine was very very special. Didn't have to travel at all!! Just drink some beers, and cook foods right here at home. Traffic was horrible for visitors, it was insane!!!

The eclipse was cool. We were 90% here in south west Michigan. Crazy how bright it still was. Great video! Man, I want to go camping. Maybe I should take my wagon and camp in the back of that. 👍

[@CrazyQuady]

You should! Thanks for watching!

[@literalvampirepotbellygobl5629]

Man, I can't believe you missed totality because you didn't want to be around people. I hope you get to see it some day. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and partial eclipses don't even come close. Love your stuff man!

[@CrazyQuady]

We had a full eclipse here in 2017, I saw the whole thing. Check out the video I linked in the description

[@literalvampirepotbellygobl5629]

@@CrazyQuady Awesome! Glad you got to see one. I'll check that out in a few.

[@mjball44verzal57]

I wasn’t too wild about the solar eclipse either. It was a bad omen for me. My truck broke down in Chicago and my con worker driver picked me up and I road back to Milwaukee. They towed the truck. I loved your freight train and eclipse video. The train was so awesome. You had a great spot picked out nice work. I love it. Never gets boaring with you Quady. The food looked really delicious as well. Keep up the good work hoss. Can’t wait for a night of Thunderstorm camping. ⛈️ 🏕️

I found a torch attachment at Wal-Mart in the camping section for around $14 that is used with the coleman single canister propane containers. I also use it to start fires in my fireplace. It would help you start your campfires.

I have a couple of them, but I didn't transfer all of my junk from my old truck over. I talked about that but ended up cutting it out of the video 😂
