Truck disaster - History of the mountain Trucks

In this video I talk a little about the History of the two trucks that carry the brunt of the building materials to the top of the mountain and the Disaster that totaled the first.

[@joesmith1067]

Alan we were cut from the same cloth. People think I'm strange I build weird stuff I save everything. I also have many crazy stories to tell. By all rights I should have died long ago. But still kicking by the grace of God. Kinda. Bad health. But you and some other youtubers are inspiring me to pull myself together. And start building crazy stuff again and possibly film in for the world to see. So I thank you for telling your stories. And that mountain "rocks" lol. My swamp is way different.

[@timrowe28]

Wow , God was certainly looking out for you Allen . That was an amazing story about your escape from disaster.

[@mclarenscca]

So glad you had the presence of mind to bail out! God was watching over you for sure sir!

[@latinoclint]

just relax. Talk on camera like you would with sparks. you'll do fine.. lol.. just relax and breath.. your a future KZbin rock star brother..

[@mattbeamer6918]

You've got to find a way to use those rocks. They are far too cool not to use them. Keep up the great work!

[@motawarrior5201]

Im glad you made it out unharmed Your grandmother needed you to be by her side. My condolences....

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thank you. I just had hoped to show her my project when the main building was done. Well now she has a birds eye view...

[@matthewmccormick7768]

Very sorry for the loss of your grandmother, Alan.

[@jerryseal6062]

Alan, you are anatural at this. My Dad was like you in that hecould build all kinds of stuff. Thanks for sharing with us. Bless you.

[@go_on_life]

Fantastic story, praise God He spared you!! Thanks for taking us to those spots.

[@jackkeeble9272]

God bless you Alan! It's a lot to deal with! Keep up the good fight! Your friend from Tennessee 🦌👍

[@kylemoquin6151]

I’ve watched all of your videos man I’m a 7th generation mason and I’m super impressed! You’re one tough man everyone could learn a lot from you! Last of a dying breed man 👊💪

[@diggerd9267]

Wow what a frightening experience! Thank you Lord Jesus for keeping Alan safe. Keep the videos coming when you can there great 👍

[@Docmiller4425]

I have been trying to watch some of the videos that i had not seen and this was one of them. You definitely had the Lord watching out for you that day. It looks like it was quite the wreck and something you will never forget. Have a blessed week and God bless you as you continue to work on your project on the moutain.

[@jeffreyclemmens8229]

Thank you for the in depth on the truck roll....glad you were safe. My respect is yours

[@texasww6853]

Wow that was scary Alan I’m glad you had the presence of mind to jump out just in time, thank the Lord

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Yes, Thank you. Looking back I am amazed I made it out... I definitely had a guardian angel helping on that one.

[@Kathy98363]

Alan you are so knowledgable about so much. This Great G-ma is learning stuff lol. Doing some binge-watching. 💯👍

[@peterwaroblak166]

I can see that it's a constant battle between you and the mountain, the mountain seems rather unforgiving, and so does the wind. I know that you said you have not had much luck with windmills. Years ago I remember seeing a merry-go-round setup about 20" in diameter using 55 gallon drums cut in half that might workout good there, you could rig up some sort of a centrifugal brake in case it got out of control.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

I will be talking all about wind turbines in my videos. Thanks for the ideas!

[@oldguyBMX]

God bless you. Sorry to hear about your grandmother! 🙏

[@devrabiallas1292]

Amazing that you stayed in the truck as long as you did, glad you're ok! Everyone share his channel!

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thank you! Everything happened so quick, looking back I was amazed I was able to open the door since I was pushing it almost straight up.

[@DreamTruckStuff]

Love the story’s. Incredible location and can’t wait to see progress unfold! 🏁

[@utubecharley0447]

What an amazing adventure! I too, work alone. I have never had any luck with helpers. I have a mental image of how everything goes together. My help will have their own image and likely won't be compatible. A good chance someone will end up in the emergency room. I find that the two greatest hazards in my life are helpers and gravity! I'm looking forward to more videos.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Yes, you are right. I actually found it took more time to do something with help than if I did it myself. Very hard to find someone who can work without constant supervision. Thank you!

[@yungdolphin9130]

@@mtnfortresslabs dude I love that I came across this comment it's so sad that the world is like that we're supposed to be compatible but people are so full of s*** and or conceited or just lazy and it never works out

[@mtnfortresslabs]

@@yungdolphin9130 It still works out and I enjoy the works. Thanks

[@Wooolfey]

Helpers and Gravity. Very eloquently expressed...

[@OuradventuresGU]

Loving how you used the small trucks to get such large loads up the mountain! great initiative and proves anything can be achieved when you put your mind to it! You're very inspiring and I have to follow my dream and bring my woodland lodge to reality! thank you your videos are brilliant

[@timothyballinger6280]

Looking out at the mountains looks so majestic! What an amazing place. I watched the video heavy D done about your lab your building. That's so amazing. I'm glad you made your own channel. Can't wait for more videos. Thanks Allen

[@Oliver-rb1tf]

So glad you made it out of the truck safely ! Please attach some, let's say transport-cage, to the front of your actual vehicle. This will ensure the weight is helping you to stay on the trial. And think about smaller loads, just every time you drive to the top pick something up with you. Keep going, I want to see more!

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Yes, after that I worked out a very good way to keep the concrete forward. That is done by putting a small stack of empty pallets in the back of the bed and using ratchet straps to the frame to hold everything in place. It works great.. Thanks!

[@chriscanterbury8647]

Sorry to hear about your grandma brother. Thats a good amount of time with her

[@fyerfyter339]

Sorry about losing your grandma. Be safe, stay healthy, keep posting these videos. Seems like building a flat-bed would make loading/unloading easier. With tie-downs and receivers to custom restrain all types of loads. Plus a small fork lift attachment on the 331. 👍

[@THE1THEONLYBODACIOUS]

Right on Allan. Be careful brother. God Bless n Be With you Allan

[@vicferrari9380]

Happy to know your still kicking.

[@Bobk2633]

Sorry to hear of your grandmothers passing.

[@user-rs3qm6nr3i]

i hope you do film full time.. love watching you and you projects

[@slickatoe]

You remind me if my professor at university. It makes me smile, thinking of how I would go out and help him with various projects. You even look like him. Your speech cadence is so similar, its laughable. Please don't ever change.

[@hannahcofam360]

Awsome stuff and glad you are safe and blessed.

[@bill7320c]

You are blessed Alan

[@MrGixxer1300r]

As always Alan great content I look forward to seeing more of your videos

[@sandyshores915]

Keep up the good work.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thank you!

[@roadhog1987]

I'm just glad you're ok and are still here to talk to all of us

[@upcyclebob692]

Grandma’s are gold . bless you for being there for her .

[@willscottrell6919]

my condolences Alan

[@kerrylewis2581]

I'm not much for television, but I enjoy learning and listening to others who I find interesting. Alan, you are definitely an interesting man who has a past and a future to share, and for that reason, I have become one of your Patreon supporters. Looking forward to your success, progress, and future posts.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@faelsinnes]

Wow, good job you managed to get out

[@yungdolphin9130]

Dude it has Bobcat tires in the rear did anyone else notice that Great idea by the way and if you wonder I'm commenting on these videos that I didn't watch I have a couple days off so I'm going through some videos

[@mtnfortresslabs]

I did not put the skid-steer tires on the front yet, not sure yet on the turning. They last 100 times longer than regular LT tires on that rock.

[@vickiepeek2279]

Good Gawd ! You were beyond lucky to get out of that truck !

[@johnodell1610]

Hey I enjoy your Fortress build. and hope you finish. It's great that you are mixing concrete by hand. i did it for a basement, was enough.

[@shawnharriman3433]

Great info.

[@Ellis157]

those rocks look like tailings from a mining operation even the land scape looks like it but from a very long time ago

[@jayjones6904]

God bless you brother you've been through it never give up

[@Oldtimered]

Has anyone else stopped the video and just look at the scenery? I wouldn't mind my ashes being scattered here. Hope I get to see it first.

[@jwacker6590]

I was already impressed then to realize you are an unashamed believer! Just awesome!

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Jesus Christ is my foundation. I am just amazed he chose a cracked block such as myself for his kingdom. Thank you!

[@apolloace3118]

Alan, you are amazing! A t this point, all you're talking about is how the mountain ate your truck and you stil find the beauty. I WISH I was half the man you are!

[@juanaction2715]

Alan. So sorry to hear of your loss. My Swedish grandfather (morfar) in southern rural Blekinge taught me so much about life. I can only imagine your pain and mental anguish. Stay strong man. Peace and love brother.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

She is with the Lord now. I am releaved that she isn't miserable anymore. Thank you!

[@troywalker5485]

GBY and RIP Grandma!

[@wildbilljr3369]

[@andrewutter2924]

Keep up the good work you’re a beast!!

[@Hh11873]

Thank heaven you were not pulled down the mountain with the truck. How did you get the main frame back up? So very sorry to hear about your Grandma. Take care as always. Loved the video.

[@leighvrooman2824]

Mad e wise decision to get the heck out of the truck.

[@abertzaleharroaii7449]

God bless you

[@makinitsch9113]

I love granny low in the hay field. You can load your hay without a driver.

[@mp194801]

GOD is with you Wizard, everywhere you go. Our 'Guardian Angels' are our overseers watching ahead of us removing any obstructions that may be in our pathway. When I drive away on a long trip and my family is with me I always pray for protection and safe journey to my destination and for my return home. I call upon our Creator Source (GOD) to allow my guardian angels to drive my car (spiritually), watch over us, keep us safe, and return us home safely and I then able to relax and enjoy the journey otherwise I would be a nervous wreck. So keep safe Wizard we enjoy your journey and your projects.

[@zxcvbnm24242424]

gr8 content!

[@rodobrien3488]

I'm really sorry for your lose Allen.

[@kingmanstudent]

I love my Old Power Wagon. She’s been a tank

[@djeoutdoors]

You made a good call to jump out. You are very lucky you weren’t injured.

[@davidmcpherson7451]

The seats is a little beat! Lol

[@craigmickel6637]

What a view

[@StevenCampbell1955]

" The front of the truck went straight up. At which point I knew I has to get out"......

[@timmasimer146]

Alan, love the videos that you are posting. I am very intriegued by the fortress and learning more about your vision and ideas for energy. I do have one question, would you be willing to sell one of your old chevy pickup trucks? They are super hard to come by these days and I want to purchase one so I can cut firewood and not worry about a scratch or a ding. If you don't, I understand. Keep posting and I will keep supporting the channel.

[@conover1978]

You got sooooo lucky!

[@KR-ti5uz]

Sorry to hear about your grandma

[@patrickblock2477]

Wow!

[@user-rs3qm6nr3i]

wow. thats crazy

[@dandannels8821]

Sorry buddy I lost your grandma my thoughts and my thoughts are with you but let’s load make more trips. It’s easier on your trucks and your tractors and could be easier on your body. Feel better whenever I was your age I can pick up 350 pounds now at 68 I can’t hardly pick up 35 pounds so work smart take more trips. This is a godly Redneck set. Enjoy and be safe.

[@janetphillips8196]

My condolences hun. God has a new Angel. Interesting video. How is the big housing project going?.

[@themikarenolds2910]

trying to save it and got out the last second insane cool thermal patches last video and then tying into them insane

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thanks, Thinking back there were two things I might have tried to stop the truck, but it happened so fast...

[@bobcoopersliveyoutubevlog]

thumbs up for alan

[@darkestwish5947]

With that step grade I was wondering if you had any problems. I'm just glad god was watching out for you. Losing a loved one is always hard. I'm sorry for your lose.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thank you. Grandma was awesome. -> The steep grade is a pro and a con, but the dodge pickups really do a great job moving materials up.

[@dennisrcole]

* * * * You need to find a LARGE Used Cement Mixer about an 8 or 1o HP , and a larger water pump and get your water supply up higher . Looking Good

[@upcyclebob692]

Shit happens ! glad you made it out !

[@sptnmud07]

Alan awesome channel!! Are any of your trucks for sale?

[@jeffersonbritton5518]

dont give up it will come

[@scotsorenson6344]

Alan, sorry for your loss doesn't cover it. Keep the faith.

[@mtnfortresslabs]

Thank you... God bless you and your family..

[@sunnyray7819]

Dang... Definitely Angels watching over you...

[@cditzler6313]

take a bit of doing but a decent sized drag line would/could get you that rock to build that castle a good bit of welding but you seem to have enough scrap steel to make a decent sized drag bucket

[@joshjablonicky171]

Personally whatever rig you use going up and down the hall stuff and the future do it without a driver's door just in case like when we drive out on the lake fishing we'll usually you roll your windows down lot of times will open the door in case something happens you can bail out immediately

[@stevendavis8636]

Geez, Alan, sell your junk pile, get some cash and finish your fortress. Our just turn into a junkyard business. It kind of looks like an EPA disaster cleanup site.

[@uffegud]

👍👍👍

[@mikehuth3541]

I'm sorry to here about you grandma.

[@marcuscoquer5958]

Do you think it possible that the rear hub had broken and caused the accident?

[@63jeepj20]

Any chance you have any Jeep pickups up there? Not the M715 the civilian pickups.

[@crxdan1]

You are very lucky to be alive
