You made a right mess of that paddock Dave. Whoever has to mow that next is gunna be really unhappy.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Shhhhhh.... don't tell anybody.

[@landlifem5872]

Never heard of a rock rake huh ?

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Less of a mess than a SpaceX launch.

[@srp01983]

@@tiredoldmechanic1791 😂😂😂 Good one !!

[@ReturnMoreFire]

Way she goes buddy boy.

[@davec7076]

6 minutes and 29 seconds ... AGAIN and AGAIN !!! Your uncovered shots are always great fun - and this one is WOW-worthy. Thanks Dave - again...

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave.

[@bobw222]

Nothing better than starting the day off eating breakfast and watching Dave turn massive boulders into flying rocks.

[@paulcooper2897]

That 199 hole shot was awesome! Love the "no cover" shots ... memories of the road clearing you did a while back! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Not many times that I get to do this many holes in one shot Paul. Did a few like this on the South Face Road project. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fouadnuBoMScfJY

[@TrevorDennis100]

You've got to love those no cover jobs. The slow motion view @5:40 was sensational. As good a blast I can remember on your channel. I bet you enjoy that sort of job yourself despite having been doing it for so long.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

That is for sure Trevor, much prefer these ones to working under a house of similar.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

Det Cord, no delays, happy views.

[@benjaminshropshire2900]

No cover, not delays, and no need to dig that out afterwards, just drag the larger bits of gravel out of the way.

[@Splits-man]

Glorious country Dave. “I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains”

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

"A land of drought and flooding rains"... tell that to the climate change brigade.

[@timothyryan4523]

Fantastic job. You would not stand a chance if you were hit by a shard of that granite,now I know why you cover most of your jobs. Keep them coming.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

For sure Tim, we get well away from these ones.

[@AlanHardacre]

@@demolitiondavedrillandblast , how far away were you for the first shot?

[@rockman531]

Hi Dave, GREAT way to start the day! Bangers go BOOM with no dirt to spoil it!! Love it!! Take Care. Stay safe! Jim

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks for tuning in again Jim.

[@michaelc.3812]

Such a beautiful country (and continent)! Just amazing David.

[@shayne7300]

Dave's impression of SpaceX's launch pad..noice...

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Noice, yes the pad did come out a bit second hand.

[@grumpyg9350]

More like a Great Dane. That was spectacular Dave.👍👍

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Yeah, I can see that Grumpy.

[@Andy-Gibb]

That second bang will pucker your sphincter if you are near it. It was awesome, nice work. I wish all your blasts were that spectacular but it would peeve off some folks next door if those rocks came to visit them.

[@tokencivilian8507]

Love those uncovered shots. That blowed up REAL good.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

It sure did TC, was good to watch!

[@Hutch400]

.....and he looked upon his work...and it was gooooooood..!! Great vid

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

... And then he rested.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

The sound must travel forever!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

It sure does, had to engage with a lot of neighbors for this job.

[@markmunro8753]

Man these uncovered shots are beautiful😊😊😊.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

I hear you brother.

[@GARDENER42]

I was just thinking "could do with another Dave video" & here we are. 😊

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

More soon #42

[@jimwilloughby]

That rock that looks like a Labrador's head brought back memories of my childhood. I grew up on a 163 acre farm that had a outcrop of a huge rock that looked like a Saind Bernard's head. It was much bigger than yours. We would climb up the back of it and sit on what would be considered the top of its nose and enjoy the sun and the view. There's some nice rock for a stone wall, if the landowner has to build one. UI think your camera is a bit lippy. It should keep its mouth shut until the batteries get down to 25%. Whoa! One of your cameras almost got hit on that second blast. Some of the little bits must have gone quite a ways up . They took their time coming back down.

[@jwdickinson643]

gorgeous country, Dave!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

It sure is JWD.

[@chriscooper654]

Again, great respect for your skills in applied chemistry! As impressive as it is to see those couch-sized chunks leaping into the sky, the nasty hail of small pebbles coming down a little later... gives me an increased appreciation for your headgear.

[@morrislouiseeagle7161]

woo hoo free range rocks-marvlous thank you for sharing this with us Mr D much appreciated

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

No problem MLE, glad that you enjoyed it.

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼…………………………………………………….Love it when the rocks FLY!! LOL!!

[@sweetor6714]

We all need a little devastation now and then...awesone work, excellent video Dave!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

That was the word for it.

[@Codebreakerblue]

Some fantastic booms, this was a great watch!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks for watching, it was even better being there and being able to feel it.

[@michaelc.3812]

I love the Labrador rock - very cool, and I hope it won’t face time with Dave and his blasting assortment!

[@johnolsen7073]

Great job on airstrip levelling Dave. I flew professionally for over 50 years, some of that time in the Canadian bush. I can only say, I wish some of the bush strips I landed on, were as level and smooth as what you blew up. Thank you for producing the videos. It is great to view controlled demolition it is also great to see explosives used for the visual effects of debris flying.

[@kenpool8507]

The uncover shots are fantastic !! Awesome video again Dave. Thank you and God bless you and your family

[@RoxnDox]

Oh, what a lovely little mushroom cloud that first one made! Love to see these uncovered rocks in flight…. 🪨💥☄️

[@williambryce8527]

The first shot man! Full Det cord send! no delays with cinematic perfection on the slomo @5:40! Just pure hard rock perfection that if you know you know, I can sell it like it was yesterday!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Glad that you enjoyed it William.

[@williamjacobs236]

Another great video Dave ! You need to put stirrups on your jackhammer! Then you can ride m cowboy 😂 !

[@cosmopezzolla996]

I was just saying to myself wish Dave would blow something up uncovered soon...... and then......BOOM ...a 199 hole shot! That was amazing! I just wish you drilled 1 more hole to make it 200, my OCD is running wild 😂. Thanks for the great videos as always! Cheers 🍻

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Oh we do like some heavy uncovered wallops ! Great to see the rock fly ! Hope they are still fun for you like this ! 😊

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Oh yeah, this never gets old David.

[@brunomckay1875]

Nothing like letting a commando free baller go off in the middle of no where. Top effort, brother

[@austinadventure]

The Labradors head was cool, along with the blasting as usual. Thanks for taking us along Dave! Cheers from Canada

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Somebody suggested it looks more like a Great Dane and I have to agree. Thanks for coming.

[@westvirginiaridgewalker]

YES another great video, thank you Dave!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks Eric.

[@paulsto6516]

5:51 would make an awesome record album cover!

[@jasethesmiff5683]

Always a joy to see u making a mess.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

I'm the only guy that makes a mess and then sends a bill.

I always love me a Dave video thank mate✌️ Napa California

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks Sean.

[@ianslow1234]

Nice paddock rocks...very scenic...but a bit harsh on the tractor.

[@bobbaer869]

Great video Dave 👍

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Fantastic out with a Bang great job thanks for sharing Dave 🦘

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

It was huge bang Kerry!

[@macw2234]

Truly awesome.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks for watching and contributing Monty.

[@timothypirnat3754]

Wow! That was so cool Dave. I think uncovered blasting is some of your best content. I love to see those rocks fly. See the power of the explosives. It reminds oneself to be careful on those jobs when handling the boom stuff. lol

[@swishswish386]

Outstanding Dave, perfect in every manner…The weather, vista and the kabooms… Nicely done man 👍👍👍👍

[@TheWarySamaritan]

Amazing work. Great video. Love seeing the uncovered shots.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Glad you enjoyed it, I like doing these jobs also

[@michaelleivers1863]

Hi Dave so enjoy your escapades lost for words on this one except two, AWESOME, OUTSTANDING, kind regards Mike U.K.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks Michael, I also enjoy these jobs.

[@stevehansen5477]

l love it when you make rocks fly.

[@DFPercush]

No need to cover up - we're going commando, boys! Nice mushroom cloud, btw. I love that first frame, and the ones you put on the outro. A sizeable chunk of earth just instantly turns to fire. "Art is an explosion!"

[@eddiekilby]

Wow what a site love those uncovered ones.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Great to be working away from houses for a change.

[@koolaskoalas]

Flash Bang What a Photograph!!!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

It was a shocker of a bang.

[@xuejiaoxu6778]

Once again the 📷 had a close call at 11:30. Thanks for posting Dave

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

There was a little poop on the ground next to the camera.

[@tugboat2739]

Howdy demolition Dave

[@Silverhornet81]

Love some good uncovered shots!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Me too #81

[@awestwood3955]

Love the drone footage

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks

[@johnbrown-rm8kc]

Awesome slow Mo !! looked like one of those J Dam bomb explosions

[@cormackeenan8175]

That was your best one yet Dave you should make prints of those explosions.

[@davidpook5778]

WOW that was AWESOME!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks for watching and contributing David.

[@dennis2376]

What a beautiful day and beautiful photography. Chicken Little was right the sky is falling. :) Thank you and have a great week.

[@carl_h]

I enjoy the blasts out in the country, without the fuss of covering it up with dirt and mats

[@albutterfield5965]

I guess that it is safe to say that you start off every day with a bang

[@jacobcachia4237]

Love your work demo Dave 👊🏼

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks, I appreciate that Jacob.

[@kat2641]

WoW 😮 now I understand why you put a mountain of dirt on top before you blast.. I always figured that you did it to force the energy down to shatter it in smaller pieces but now I know why you put them out in the dirt on top. There was a few of them I would say that made 100 foot in the air… but that was really great to see the force of energy difference between being open, uncovered, and sealed and covered… laughing but man oh man, do you guys got any dirt over there? Is it nothing but a massive plate of stone with few cm of dirt…❤

[@webes7]

Job well done sir!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@CliffordRainwater]

Oh Yah, now that was fun to watch.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks Cliff.

[@davegeorge7094]

Uncovered is the best!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

My favorite type of job.

[@brucet8551]

great shots there Dave especially the first.a lot of hard work though to prepare them.thanks for the entertainment.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Oh yeah, it was hot when Kevin and I did most of the drilling.

[@ralphdeemie4916]

That is some hard rock great job!!!!!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks for watching Ralph.

[@leonmarut7092]

another fine job mr

[@ammelovmokum7346]

keep em comin mate, love your neverending fight with them rocks...

[@iaingibbs9589]

That makes a nice hard standing for him The park is Aeroplane on That was some pretty countryside with some well weird looking rock

[@jimsvideos7201]

It's always fun seeing chunks the size of luggage going ballistic.

[@roddoel1028]

FaaaarrK.. that was fantastic one of the best ever.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

He, he, he...

[@Zendukai]

What a blast !!!! Loved it Dave , cheers matey !!!!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks Z

[@Rodneygd]

Thanks Dave! I do so love the uncovered blasts!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Me too!

[@apollorobb]

Sir i think you now have those rocks attention !!

[@MrJeffro56]

Love these jobs that are not covered. Get to see the full force of the explosion. Good work!

[@release19]

some nice altitude and hang time on a couple of those large bits

[@paulpierson2137]

I really like the open top blasting. It has less labor and clean up, and the blast is sensational. My favorite (favourite) shot is at 5:50.

[@AlexJBaldwin]

The A-10 is back!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt at 10:14 !!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Sure id Doc.

[@michaelc.3812]

Is so much more fun and enjoyable when you don’t have to bury the rocks!!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Indeed!

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

We do like a few uncovered bangs!

[@LouKodge]

Hi Dave, upper gully Lou here. Everybody just loves uncovered ones. Have never noticed mushroom cloud before. Beautiful.. Could you possibly name what suburb or district at start of vids. Many thanks.

[@MrLukealbanese]

Nice one Dave 😁😁😁

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Thanks Luke, more video soon.

[@darrelleaf]

Nice one Dave

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Indeed, thanks fore watching Darrel.

[@jwdickinson643]

you got a sheila monitoring your battery? DAYUM! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

At least there is a button to switch her off JW.

[@Tiger351]

Another great job Dave, almost as many holes as some of those housing development jobs you've done. Had to laugh at Labrador rock, if the farmer ever wants to get rid of it I'm sure some sculptor will grab it and finish what nature started. 😂

[@yt650]

The decimator of rocks.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

- Geocide.

[@richwielechowski5191]

Dave, do you have to notify the local police and fire departments when you are blasting uncovered in an area? Incredible views you have provided the last couple videos, thanks for sharing.

[@art1muz13]

DANG DAVEY 96 LIKES AT 33 MINUTES! I THOUGHT I'D BE ONE OF THE FIRST FEW LIKE! YOU'RE GETTING POPULAR, NO DOUBT!!!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Sounds like it is off to a good start AR. Thanks for watching.

[@gregoryburton4328]

Another job well done 💥. thank you for the awesome video 👍🙏

[@SJR_Media_Group]

*_Granite has been classified as an endangered rock species in Australia...boom.._*

[@lancer2204]

Another uplifting experience.

[@billraccio3835]

Dave been missing you and your bangers!!!

[@Wilbargosh]

Even when you clear an area of grazing country, the earth seems to continue producing granite to the surface. Helicopter might be better suited than a fixed wing at this airfield!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Yes, I find this in my own back yard Paul.

[@brianpatrick9480]

The sheer raw power that a chemical reaction and expanding gases can create is scientifically fascinating. Always a great video Dave!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

It is Brian, 1Kg of explosive contains about 4 Mega Joules of energy. When you spend that energy in just a few milliseconds, it is always going to be very violent.

[@General_Confusion]

Well he's sure got rocks on his runway now. If i was him i would buy a helicopter.

[@laurencedarabia2000]

This time you had fun, no houses or buildings to protect, no roads to block. Loaded without saving explosives

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

My favorite type of job.

[@ChrisB257]

HUGE!! Lot of drilling too - 199 holes - phew, and a lot of stemming too. Wondering what the ''brew'' was - gel, gel+emulsion? Looked pretty effective for sure... super satisfying, with some nice fly rock. Second one was equally satisfying, and others - threw a bit further. More joy :)

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

The load was mostly 32mm packaged emulsion, with a dash of ANFO.

[@vsvnrg3263]

1:17, eagle rock.

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

I hope the light aircraft that will use the runway appreciate that the flying rock traveled 250 times faster than they can fly through the air and at many times the mass of the said aircraft.
