As a nearly 20 year veteran snow cat operator who has been all over the world in all sorts of scary hairy situations this one brought me to tears. I’m so glad your friends were there to help. Thank you for sharing your story.
Don’t be a wimp
Does not compute. If the first part is true the second part is incongruent so prob a line of crock
Disregard the typo. The story was like watching a documentary. God bless to Dave and his team. Im glad all were saved and was able to go home. A horrible start with an amazing end.
The typo was that they came to rescue the snowcat in 2024 right?
Thanks for being so kind diesel Dave to my grandson. He was up in the shop that day when you guys came and got snow cat. It’s neat that these young little boys can have such good men to look up to. Thank you for your kindness.
Dan is the HeavyD in Morgan county. Anyone that has lived in Morgan has been saved by Dan and his wife or his family at one point or another. He has been more of a hero to all of us younger guys that grew up with his kids. You can actually hear how much of an influence he is by listening to all those who mimic his classic Morgan accent. What an incredible video! The world is better as a whole that those men are still around (btw the “other man” is just as good of a guy, too bad his story was untold but that should confirm what a good guy he is by not wanting the spotlight). I’m super happy that I now know Dave and Dan know each other because they are cut from the same cloth. Thanks for helping my Hero, I always look forward to ur videos!
Did the other guy make it?
Yes. Dan was the only one in ICU
Kudos to the video editor who put together a very good story. As good as it gets!
I especially at 71, greatly appreciate the crystal-clear audio! Great production which beats Discovery channel all to hell and back.
It’s more than just an editor. It’s the producer, director and camera man and others. Videos on YT arnt a one man show anymore they are a whole team
Goes from serious music, straight into an ad… smack my head.
I know both of his editors were sitting back laughing at the possible reactions they thought of in their head. lmao
Bothered me too. Just a bad editing mistake. Everyone makes mistakes at some point.
how do you think people make money on KZhead do you think this is all just free Dave doesn't need KZhead this is no different then TV every time something is about to happen boom AD its crazy to me how people complain about free content you don't pay for this yet you cry about ADs
@@ironfistvailit was a bad placement of ad, this was a very moving video and it ruined part of the intro
a midroll ad on this video was fucking shitty. should have saved it for the end and said " this is a sponsored video" at the beginning
I worked for the Wilkinson family in Evanston at Morgan Valley Polaris. Dan, Shane, Jon, the whole family was always awesome to work for. People can be as toxic as they want but what you guys do really does make a difference in peoples lives. Good work as always.
❓❓maybe you can answer my questions❓ Did 1 Person pass❓❓. Who was the 7th person❓❓was she the 7th person❓❓I’m a little confused ‼️‼️
@@cindyzelmer9228 good question, was someone else in the cab your right ?
It was another man named Russ. He was taken to the hospital banged up but ok. Dan was the only one in ICU.
Dave and his crew are just plain out generous and amazing people. This is what they love to do
They make a ton of money on their videos, not to mention everything else surrounding these "free" recoveries, so it's not like they're being generous. It's part of their business model, just like Juan from ThatWasEpic, Dawson from BigDawsTV, & Steven Shapiro, etc... That's not to say it isn't awesome that they put together such an awesome business model, cuz it certainly is rad and badazz!
@@-108- they could of easily said no to say its not generous is ludacris
@@dwstrat1377 Yeah, that was a little extreme a phrasing for what I actually meant. It's generous, and it's business - They are in the business of being generous. And that's awesome that they can do that - that people can literally make a great living off of giving stuff of great value to people in need.
@@-108-Do you have any idea how much it cost to drive across the country with all those semis and equipment to just help people for free like when they dug those people out of the mountains in 12 ft of snow well I'll tell you right now I make my living doing snow removal and things like they do and I as much as I would love to physically could not do it for free not that I don't want to but they are taking the money they are making from the videos and instead of wasting it they're putting it back in to helping people there's a big difference
@@karlwithak.That is no lesson that they learn they had to go right into the avalanche zone to get the cat and they have to go through avalanche zones to get to his personal cabin you can't avoid it when you live here
Growing up in Morgan with this family, working for their business, and many days on the mountain with them, this hits real close to home. I know each of them personally, Dan has been a mentor to me most of my life. I thank God he’s alive, and thank everybody that helped them. Thank you for the great video! The people making negative comments about his wife “Carole”, obviously don’t know her. Also, Russ is good👍
Was wondering, what about the other guy, Russ?
I don’t know the specifics, my brother told me he’s doing fine. Maybe camera shy😂
So all are alive?
@@olliespackrt5763yes he just said Russ is good. Nobody know who Russ is but if you put the pieces together one can only assume Russ is the “second man” in the snow cat nobody talked about in the video
Man regardless abt that negative comment🫤 the word he says am not a boss we like friends that part hits me because it really sucks when you lose a close one you can tell this guy is full of kindaness just by the way he talks glad he made it out alive I hope he stays bless and there’s always going be hate even tho people don’t know what to put I just say fk the hater and am glad this man made it out and that this was a good video🔥
Man, this was a good one. Dan seems like one of those, “once in a lifetime” kind of people that everyone strives to find in their lives. Blood runs skin deep, but family is what you make it, and those people are the kind of family that everyone on this planet wishes they could be a part of. Thanks for sharing, this was one of my favourite videos yet!
My heart dropped when his wife was sitting next to an empty chair. I’m glad Dan is okay. Good people all around.
The world needs more people like this. Dave and his crew are amazing people and others should take note. Help your friends and neighbours. Well done lads!
What a story. Thank god Dan is still around and obviously very liked and cared about by his buddies, which are family now. Diesel Bros I swear is always off being of service to others and it is so great to see and watch. Heaven definitely had/has a plan for Dave and Dave. Isn’t it kinda wild, seriously, how they were born handsome, larger than average, extremely motivated which makes the entire crew at DB very successful. It’s awesome 🤩🙌. PS…every member of diesel bro team is AWESOME 🤩🙌
The respect that everyone showed for each other means a lot . Glad the story had a happy ending.
This shows that he was smart in that he went with friends & was not alone in the mountains. Great recovery Dave, glad you could do the job.
Honestly Dave Sparks these type of videos are the reason I watch this channel. Stuff like this show your support to the community
Stay tuned as we recover this snowcat next December! 🤦🏼♂️ #typo
I think everyone was saying the same thing lol
😂
😂👌✌️🍻
Wish we had snow here in West Oz 🤣
Did the other gentleman in the accident survive? This had to be tough on y'all having had a similar experience. 💚
I love the work you guys put in and the spirit you all have for what you do! That product placement for AG1 was ROUGH though. All the build up of the back story was immediately and abruptly broken. Maybe on videos like these just lead in with it.
Did you get your year supply of vitamin D from the cringe Ad?
Yeah, I made a similar observation. Shame on the editor, at least just this once.
@@Ducky69247why is it shame on the editor ag1 just paid to rescue those people snowcat unless you want him asking the people for money from themselves the money has to come from somewhere and these videos and the sponsors are what pay it there wouldn't have been a better place to put the ad in a video of this sort if you want to do the rescue you need the money to get it done you can't just go in the red on every rescue to everyone
@@freedomfox8183 hmm, I wonder who put the advertisement in that position in the video. We'll it probably wasn't the camera guy.
Heave D Sparks Dave and team is one classy group which this world needs more of. Great content sir!!!
IM not crying you are!!!!!! How gut wrenching and heartwarming all at the same time!!!
Tears flowing...thanks Dave and team for always being there in times of need!
The help that Diesel Brothers gives without expecting anything in return is so amazing. God bless you guys. You are truley nights in shining armor. The world needs more of you.
You know they get paid eh. Sponsorship and KZhead ad revenue. This is why they do this lol.
@@g.p.880 not only reason they do this stuff , they have will to do it no matter what but something has to keep the tanks full and employees paid
I wish all Boss's looked at their employees like that. Like friends/ equals just tryin to survive and make a living. Im glad everyone was ok in this accident. God bless
Hell of a story! Loved every second of it! Glad it had a happy ending! Hold onto your loved ones and friends! There’s no time to hold grudges and staying upset at someone we care about. We never know when it’s time to go. Thanks for sharing this story
That’s a great heart felt video I have to admit. So glad that he made it out and y’all helped him out. A little more recovery footage would have made it even that much better 😉
Damn, what a story. That brought tears to the old eyes. Glad you guys could do your part and help out. Big hearts all around.
The perfect combo of guys wanting to play with their toys and also have the most compassion and generosity, possible. Win/win for everyone.
What he said at 16:35 : "I dont like the phrase boss, It bothers me. We're friends, we work together, we try to make a livin'." Just hits in a spot I didnt know it would but its true. This story is truly incredible. Glad to Dave and his guys helping you out with getting the snowcat and all.
recovering it in december 2024 is impressive! heavy recovery and now time travel
Agreed....aint that something....lol
ong
december 2023, video took a month to edit lol
@@Examoonno it’s definitely time travel. They had iPhone 16s and that’s how you know
Haha stupid December 2024 Is in December this year.
I'd like to grab a beer with Dan. That's a solid guy there. Glad he's ok! The world needs more guys like Dan around.
Kudos to the video editors. This was a very well told story with video clips.
Was there two people in the wrecked plow? How did the other person fair? Or did I miss something. Thanks for sharing this scary heart warming video!
Thanks to the fast thinking of the 5 individuals on the other snowcat they were able to rescue the first individual (who was transported by ambulance to a hospital with a head injury but was in stable condition) and they were able to dig a hole so the 2nd individual could breath even though his leg was trapped under the snowcat.
@@RFMSS808 Thank You, I am so relieved to hear this!
I was wondering the same thing. Glad someone answered.
I started watching and wondering the same thing@@projectzip
@@x35mmman guess thats how they drive engagement in the comments to create more in the algorithm
I’m so happy you guys can help people like this and the crashed airplane for the guy’s wife so she can get the life insurance for her family to survive. KZhead has done so much for this man so he can help people like thos
Ah; WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER GUY? Didn't they say there was two guys in the thing, or is there a part 2! Great half'a story!!
i had to find this out to the news story when it happened said russ was fine just an injured foot
A very moving story and choked me up. One of your guys best videos in my opinion. You could feel the intensity, gratitude and meaning of life all at the same time. Thank you for sharing
Great story and Dan seems like an amazing human being glad he is still alive today.
he might not like the label "boss" but I think Mentor and Dad fit well for this guy. Clearly he commands a type of respect from his guys that is hard to acquire and he should be insanely proud of that.
I have always known in my heart that Dave and Dave are truly upstanding citizens. The kind of man I would be honored to work with. God bless you what you do for so many people
Never give up. What a story. Thanks for sharing Dan.
These guys sure know how to bring a tear to a grown mans eyes. Dave and his guys are amazing
Thank god for the men’s strength and determination to save that man’s life. They coulda easily took the easy way out and said it was to much, and nobody woulda had a bad thought about em. So praise the men for saving their mentor. Dave Sparks again shows us his great heart and love for people. Thank you to Diesel Brothers and all the guys for being the caliper of men that you are. Could you imagine if everyone in the US had that same heart and love for their neighbor. This warmed my heart today and put me in higher spirits to see so many great people on one video. God bless you men.
That was an amazing recovery! Thank you guys for such a heroic effort getting that snowcat off the mountain! Kudos to Dave and his team for their kindness!
With all of the "me-first", "look what I did" types in the media and online today - I am thankful for fellow Americans, like these men, that aren't afraid to take action at their own peril to ensure the safety of a fellow human. Well done, gentlemen!
Crazy story awesome you and the boy could help these guys out no questions asked. Well done Dave and all the diesel brothers 👏
The fact that you guys use your success to help so many others really speaks volumes about your character.
Dave is a saint. Doing the Lord’s work.
Well done guys. This is what sets you apart from all the other big KZheadrs as you genuinely care and enjoy a challenge to recover anything and this jas made your channel so successful and thats why brands want to work with you. Thanks for the great content.
You guys and i do mean ALL you guys are making a really GOOD reputation for yourselves. I for one have a huge amount of respect for ALL of you ! I Thank God for you being here and all you do for others. I think you are Angels ! You all have earned your wings more than once.
Man, what a story! Very well told and brilliant edit. Great to see him walk in at the end!
Dave Sparks is one in a billion. Videos like this are why he's my idol! The dude has a heart of gold and is willing to help everyone he can without expecting anything in return. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
The cinematography and story telling in the video are next level! All you dudes on the production team are just as awesome as Dave and the Crew who work on the other side of the camera. Incredible story. Well done!
God bless to Dave and his team. well done on the recovery
Another succesfull recovery. Bravo Diesel Bros and team! Cheers from Argentina.
I commented the other night on your videos sir. You are great and have the hearts of a lion ,the support and help you give to others is amazing. I surely would like to meet all of you in person. I'm a retired trucker of 39 yrs. A cowboy at heart, diesel runs thru my veins.
Dave and his crew are got to be the best guys. the stuff that you do for everybody and how generous you are a blessing for so many.
Thank you for sharing your story!! Glad you are all safe.
How about Russ? They dont mention it.
@lietuvis96 He is all good, and it's just super disappointing that they didn't include my dad in the video and story
What a story! I can only imagine feeling encased in snow unable to move and breathe, feeling it’s the end. Only to find out it’s not over yet due to some determined men… Cold chills…
It's stuff like this is why I have a lot of respect for him and his crew. They don't hesitate to drop whatever they are doing to help someone who respectfully asks for help.
So glad Dan and everyone was ok! Thanks for telling the story. I love what Dan said about the word “Boss”. Words to live by!!
This video made me cry. I’m glad he’s ok
Great video and great story u guys really make a difference in everything yall do
To me this is video is in the top 3. What you guys do is amazing and it would be nice if the entire world was like this. With the videos of what you do has motivated many others to do the same thing and it’s just amazing to see.
The love from the crew is heart warming and you can see why they love their boss. Dave as always is amazing and an animal!
That brutal realization that it might be your last breath must be the worst thing ever. But having a crew behind you like those guys? Best thing ever.
Damn this year went fast lmao December 2024
I love how you always bring the human element to the stories you film. Plus your filming style is so engaging. I watch not because I’m interested in heavy equipment but the fantastic storytelling you present.
Awsomization day!! Brought to you by The Diesel Brothers!!!!
Thank you and your guys for what you do Dave, God bless you guys
I'm curious what happened to the other person in the buried snowcat? Maybe I missed it, I have a lot going on around me as I'm watching this. You are really good men, all of you. You have huge hearts & seem to always step up when needed. I think you guys may also be a little bit crazy! 😘 For the love of God, stay safe out there!!
Yeh I don't think they actually say what happened to the other person? I was a bit confused too.
Don't feel bad, we are confused about the other person also???
i had to look up the news story they were both dug out and only 1 foot injury between them so he was fine
I watched it a second time because I was confused too. They only mentioned about digging Dan out. I looked up the news article to find out the both were safe.
I was wondering why there was little mention of him too, then I read a comment by a local that knows the men involved. He said the other man that was in the Snowcat with Dan, didn’t want to be in the spotlight and didn’t want to be included in this video. So, they are just honoring his wishes.
Grampa John and Gramma Loraine were definitely watching over their son on that day. What a remarkable family. Thank you diesel bros for getting that out, you’ve made a lifelong friend in Morgan county. Both you and Dave have helped us more than you know by always willing to help whenever we call whether it be riding around gathering food in our pantry parade, or doing a flyby to a demolition derby(? I think it was?), to helping an amazing family get a very heavy piece of machinery off the mountain. Thank you.
My admiration for Diesel Brothers started when they helped that old farmer family out with the delivery of hay.
WHY do yous always do this to me every time I think it won't happen again yous go and save another person and get me all teared up 😢😢😢I feel like an idiot but wouldn't change it for the world thankyou❤❤❤
Your promo pluging was the most scandalous timing
That is just an amazing story of survival, and love for other humans. When they father called his son to say good bye, and tell him he needs to grow up now. I had tears in my eyes, so heart breaking. Makes me wish my dad was still around.
I don’t think Dan “called” his son, I believe his son was right there.
This video was perfectly edited to tell the story. Im just glad everyone survived. You’re a tough man Dan, and the high quality of your friends tells me all I need to know about you.
Dang them kids are strong
Best recovery video yet from you guys... awesome!!
Wow, this made me tear up as well. What a captivating story. Fantastic job to everybody involved.
It is so good to know that people like Dave and crew are out there and so giving of their time and energy to help others out, great job you guys!
What a great story guys!👍👍👍
I'm glad that everyone survived, great team effort by his friends, well done team on the recovery
Did everyone survive? They didn't say anything about Russ other than he was with Dan in the snowcat.
You guys amaze me every time the kindness you guys are always willing to jump in and help when help is needed. Keep up the great work heavy D and crew.
Hes A Wheeler!!! He doesnt Quit..justs adjusts the problem to fix it..Dan im glad your around to enjoy another one! Diesel Bros are just blessed..They help anyone in a tight spot.. Dan Your boys are now closer to you..Take care..
I live in Austria and every winter we are dealing with avalances where people got hurt or even die. Watching these pictures and the emotions of the victims makes me even more thinking how thankful we can be to know such guys who are helping without thinking of profit. And such guys are all over the world regardless of race and country. So let us make the world great again!! Thank you for sharing such a video! ❤🤍❤
Good GAWD ALMIGHTY, WOW what a powerful story of survival and teamwork to get this man out of the situation. God Bless his friends for being determined even after 911 told them to get out.
Diesel Bros time-travelling to December 2024
haha, thats what I was thinkin
haha same😁😁
Lol
Wow this story hits hard after 35 years of being involved with snowcats and helping people. Keep up the good work and stay safe in the hills.
Props for making the family/friends the main focal point of the video, only like a single minute of your own footage and it was all relevant to the story. Class act.
They never really spoke about the second man in Dans snow cat ??? Was there a second man ? Did he survive or did I totally miss something in the video ??
news said he was fine since they just left their "friend" out of this story
December 2024 you recovered it
Guys live in the future I see.
It’s so awesome that you shared an amazing story of love, family and friends and didn’t just make another recovery video. I mean the recovery ones are great, but this one hits your heart:-) I love that you guys realize God has blessed you so you can be a blessing to others around you!
Way to go guys. Such a blessing to have you guys in this world. This sorry touched my heart.
You came to recover it December of 2024? That's impressive!
December 2024? Time travel and recoveries 👌🏻
You guys are one of a kind ! Wish there were more guys like you in it . SPARKS for president! Thanks for being you .
Great story with a good outcome with some very determined young men this one had me tearing up and has far as Dave and his crew that's just who they are and what they do most of all his videos he's helping someone out somewhere
Shiiiiit we have a recovery in the FUTURE 😱
Dave and Crew, sure, there was a distraction at the beginning of this video, one which has captured the majority of attention in the comments, don't let that get to you. We know this is an important story, that distraction does not take away from it, even though it might feel like it does. It's great to see these guys are all okay. It was admirable that this video ended on Dan. Great work, fellas.
I don't know how many people let you all know you guys are a great set of people. Keep being awesome these awsome stories the make you cry and feel that some people still have to heart 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thanks you guys
The diesel brothers and their crew constantly show why they earned the title American heroes🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
