What a great life you have! Living and working in the wilderness, machine work, and blowing rocks up, could be a man's dream!
How to apply
Yeah this job seems so stimulating I’ll do it for free. I think the job title is irrigation specialist.
Your country has such a large land area. The place where we live is crowded, we don't have a single hill to cultivate

Don't kid yourself, this isn't work for him! He's having too much fun blowing things up! Love it.
Post 10 needs dynamite......
No I don't think he does lol
Why, so we all end up with beaver tails and heads raining down on us
Lol I just got a post 10 video after this
Hey everyone
I don’t care who you are that was funny
Wow! Those detonations were absolutely awesome! You've got more energy than I do in a week. Much respect.
"Wow! Those detonations were absolutely awesome! You've got more energy than I do in a week. Much respect." I worked as a mechanic for a company decades ago that did seismic work in the oil field industry, and other things. One time they hired out to drill shot-holes in the floor of a rock pit so they could loosen up more rock to excavate. The floor of the pit was 100 feet below grade. I had to go out there and replace the starter on the shot-hole rig so they could get it started and drive it out of the pit. While I was doing that they got all the holes they had drilled packed with explosives and as the shot-hole rig was driven out of the pit they ran the wire that connected all the holes together up to the top out of the pit. So I hung around to watch what happened. When they set off the explosives you really could not hear it but felt it through your feet. I stood there and watched the floor of the pit, about the size of a football field, rise up into the air with part of it going about 300 feet into the air. I quickly rolled under my pickup to avoid being hit by rocks that flew over to where we had stationed ourselves at the rim of the pit. I think they used a little too much ammonia nitrate between the sticks of TNT in the holes.
Kinda looked like me taking a dump, shit flying everywhere. Thats what happens under pressure.
That last slo-mo shot was the best. Very cool video. When you cut a drainage ditch right across the road. That is exactly what I would have done.
AGREED THE SLO MO WAS AWESOME
Не знаю как я попал на этот канал, но я восхищен! То что мы все так любили делать в детсве, чувак теперь делает во взрослой и намного масштабней. Ручь стали больше и взрывы помощьней) что сказать,просто работа мечты!
Ручейки пускает 😁
В какой стране такой засранный лес?
Don't you just love this guy, what a fabulous attitude to have he actually loves what he does and laughs at himself when he cocks up come yuotube hands on with him get his site the recognition it deserves. Cheers Buddy loved it again.
I've watched professional blasters use just enough explosive to break the rock into manageable pieces for an excavator (Hi Dave!), but your method is much more fun and there's almost nothing left to clear up 😁
HI Jay!
Dave is very adaptable to situations, when demolishing near structures or people he is careful and uses little explosives. When he's sure he won't do any damage he works like this guy using lots of explosives. Demolishing with dynamite requires adapting to the situation. When you don't have digging machines nearby, the explosive not only breaks the rock but also displaces it
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast This made me laugh!
Watching you drill and blast the rock brought back memories of when I was a teenager and I would help my Dad to do the same thing. We used an air operated drill run by a gas compressor and would poke a hole in the end of the dynamite and insert the blasting cap. The cap was detonated by a fuse which we would have about 10 feet long. Light it and run. We were doing this to create a dam on a creek and had federal approval. Can't do that anymore. I still remember the sound as it went off. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory.
Unusual, interesting and sometimes remarkable. Your camera work and editing is intelligent. The content is real frontier activity which one doesn't get much chance to see, let alone do anymore. Thanks for this channel; it is now a favourite and I expect the subscriptions will soar. From rural South Australia (limestone and granite country so blasting using nitropril has been frequently used).
of course he is intelligent - he has got swedish ancestors!
There are literally dozens, if not hundreds of channels documenting the same, or similar things. You don't realize that they exist because you haven't searched for them and are waiting for them to be recommended to you, but they're out there.
1) its a bot 2) those channels buy massive amount of bots 3) this guy is so stupid, why not just dig a small canal next to the rock instead of exploding it? @@K-Fed
The man is a combo of Letsdig18 and Andrew Camarata. Excellent slow-motion shots. I really enjoy watching your videos.
thats funny you said that i was thinking the same thing while watching the video
Maybe some post 10 as-well
@@jenschristianpedersen Demolition Dave too!
More like @post10 with a bigger budget. Just need some beavers for him to blow up at the same time.
@@jenschristianpedersen definitely a some Post 10 content going on here.
The entire video was without a doubt, excellent! But that last big blast? Talk about OVER-THE-TOP!! EPIC!!
Worth the effort of doing that horizontal drill after turning that rock into gravel ! Great video.
Excellent video and great videography. Very interesting and informative watching you address the issues you're faced with.
Oh my god! We used to use those drills as conscripts back in 2012 in the pioneer battalion. Never thought i ever see one again
Always your content is fun to watch. On the top of that, you just remind me when I lived in Stockholm/Sweden back in 2007-2011 .Beautiful country with pure nature ❤ Greetings from USA
He gets to use every cool machine, tool, or vehicle, I am envious.
This was so much fun to watch. If you zigzag the drainage ditch it will slow down the force of the water so less erodes and you won't have as much to keep clearing out
From the rock he is digging up,it would require many explosive discharges and be very expensive
Best video opening ever, "This rock is in the way and we will use explosives to move it"! haha. Note to self, 5 sticks is a lot if you ever get around to blasting rocks. Beautiful and Thank You. Your drone shot shows a lot of standing water. It will be a few weeks before you get into the forest for sure. 5th day in the row with thunder storms here in Texas. Lots of water also right now. Farmers grow a lot of cotton around me so I am sure they are very happy. Thanks for the video.
Мира и добра. Замечательная работа. Тихо спокойно не спеша и всё сделано. Удачи во всех начинаниях.
That last one 'blowed up good!'
That last blast was over done, but it was cool. You made what’s called a counterforce charge. Essentially it’s just explosive waves colliding and multiplying inside a hard target. You could’ve had a slightly better effect on the rock if you did not place a charge in the center. Also if you have detcord or blasting cap at the furthest out point. The wave will travel more effectively through the explosive and into the target.
Wow, thanks a lot for risking your camera equipment. Those slow-motion shots of the explosion were spectacular.
Risking his camera? How about risking his lungs? No PPE. Nil.
@@Tedinoz Bro he was at least a hundred feet away, behind a tree, and outside. Any particulates would have settled down before he even managed to get back to the site, and if the explosion itself managed to cause him harm I'm not sure PPE would have been able to do much either.
@@mortemexmachina187 Pretty sure they're referring to the dust from drilling. There are a few shots where he is wearing a mask but most are without. Hopefully it's just an effect of how the video is set up, silicosis is terrible
another video! honestly, Im really enjoying your work and your personality. great stuff, looking forward to see more!
Man oh man explosives are too much fun, is there no end to your talents? How did you learn so much at such an early age? I’m capable of the things you do with the exception of explosives, it took me 60 years to learn what you know and you’re better at many things than me. You are a very astute young man and I’m so glad I found your channel. Much respect, be well.
Thanks for the kind words Dave!
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM you deserve it, to be this accomplished at your age your dad must’ve been a great teacher. Please say hello to your family for me. Be blessed.
Some ppl just got the feeling for it and others don't. Thats with everything, years of experience don't say anything and that the reason we dont say our years of experience here in europ
finally. another man who EDCs a hammer drill and dynamite. I keep mine in an ankle holster just in case.
Amazing video man, I can’t believe only 30k people have been subscribed while this content is so good too watch, keep it up !
Oh... I'll be watching this when I get peace tonight, thank again 🏴🏴
There's somethjng very satisfying in watching things go boom. Warms the heart of my cockles.
Tusen takk for god underholdning. Godt jobba. 👍🤗👍
Work of precision when blasting of those rocks. Great results 💥💥👍
13:57 Wow! That is a lot of rock down both sides of the road.
Man o man, THAT was awesome! I’ve watched many videos on this same subject. This video is, far and away, the best!
I wish you and Andrew Camarata from NY USA could get together. You are both so much alike and yet your styles are completely different. Your camera work and editing are outstanding. I don't know how you both know so much about so many things. I'm in awe. Again, I hope you have some friends that can share the experiences you go through. Happiness is not real unless its shared.
Agreed
Such fun !!! I think that's a great way to get some stone on to the roadway !!!!! Good job Man..... love the drone footage 😉😎
Always great viewing. Love the camera work and editing, the slow mo & drone footage is cool. Keep up the great work.
TB 175! What my machine (TB 135)aspire to become when it grows up! Great video! Og hilsen fra nabolandet 😁
Well, that was fun! Your a hard worker, thanks for the video look at the work that you do. The camera locations and slow motion shots were great. Glad you didn't shoot down the drone! Be careful.
So does anyone else think that Post10 might be just a little bit jealous of this set up? 🤔😉
Damn it looks awesome in slowmotion, when you blastet that big rock - cool! 🙈🙉💥
If you have a rock crusher you have all the stone you need for the road bed and perfect road. Love your videos. Keep em coming.
Yeah, I think I have one in the garage somewhere.
Good job building that road with the TB175! 👍 I suffer from much the same conditions, granite stone everywhere… Come and visit and bring the dynamite 😁
Last demolition's video was as if it captured an exploding meteor at the time of ejection - the moment hurled debris enters into a collision course adventure in space! Very nice placement of cameras created a great visual of that rock's demolition, well done! You have some interesting videos, I have subscribed to your channel.👍
You mean a Space X launch
Explosion seen from the air at 43:21 is truly impressive: the pieces of rock fly really high!
Loved all the shots of the final blast!
With the amount of stone you have and your crusher, you could pave that road.
While going to work and filming videos, I really admire you. Wish you good health
Great video, It's a man's dream job. Jack hammers, big excavators and dynamite ! ! 🤩
👏🎥🔍 This video is top-notch! The videography is outstanding, capturing all the details as you tackle the challenges head-on. It's both intriguing and educational to see how you address the issues and ensure smooth water flow. I'm curious about the techniques and tools you use. Keep up the great work! 💪💦🌊
Dayymmm this shot is Fire🔥 43:55
Trying to pull that trailer out of the mud with a quad was funny!
Thats some tough digging, good job getting it done.
WOW on these boulders!!!!!!
A burning fuse would definitely be much easier especially in the remote woods as you say running the cord to the remote area is a pain !
مشاهدة رائعة دائما. أحب عمل الكاميرا وتحريرها، فالتصوير البطيء ولقطات الطائرة بدون طيار رائعة. استمروا في العمل العظيم
Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho que realiza
Awesome!!! Thanks for so many repeat shots of the explosions!
....and inside was the last T-rex egg..... thank you...😅🤣
✅. ………. everything shows that you invented gunpowder‼️ Nevertheless, greetings from the Netherlands Stay safe, be humble and be blessed
The thing that strikes me first, is how little planning went into the making of this road.
Not seeing the whole picture, however looks like it could have been done intentionally as a check dam which helps slow the water preventing erosion and acts as a sediment trap. I install these regularly for storm water prevention plans and from the angle at the 3 min mark it seemed like that could be exactly what this was. Anyways like I said can’t see the bigger picture to be sure…best wishes
with all your creative skills, you should make an attachment for your drill to your excavator.
Got a lot of drilling ahead so it's on the todo list!
You hiring? Middle of nowhere, working alone, working the land.... my kind of job.
Fantastic camera angles on that explosion. I greatly appreciate it
Not much point in blowing stuff up unless you get to see it a few times - forwards, backwards, slomo . . . and loved the drone shot.
Minute 37:51 man enjoying his work 🤠
Your mic cover for the headset is just the cutest ever.
"So the rock is pretty much gone now" PRETTY MUCH?? that rock got turned into ASH
Stunning scenery
As many has already said, it was very interesting to watch. Great work :)
Awesome footage of your blasting especially the last big rock……👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I'm wondering why you're cleaning in the direction of the flow. As you'll risk creating flooding downstream if there are obstructions and when you're releasing "large" amounts of water, also you're building a dam on the downwards side of the road which will make flooding more severe if it happened as the road is on the upwards side of the dam that it creates.
When recovering trailers like that stick a wheel or even stick in the ground under the winch line. This transfers the force to lift the front edge of the trailer. A wheel is best as it rolls with the winch line, but a stick or log will work for an initial lift .
those drone shots are such a treat
Having been a combat engineer in Vietnam I can tell you i have never seen a guy trying harder to get killed. I don''t know a single safety rule he didn't break. - God must have a special liking for this guy. He scared the crap out of me just watching him.
Well, on private land there are no safety laws so he can do what he wants. Overall, you really making it worse then it is. (Btw why do amaricans always say they experience? It doesn't mean your good at what you did, it only says you did it short enough not to get killed. I dont get that about amaricans, nobody else does it...) he clearly knows what he is doing so you dont have to tell him what to do
Hey my man, you can move that rock with that excavator easy but you just wanna blow it up I know!!! 😂
You got a valid point there!
I find it wonderful that the quad bike managed to remove itself. Not daft those quad bikes.
Love the camera shot under the trailer:)
Love your stuff!! You are multitalented my man.
Thanks!
Don't know how I fell on this video I love it... dream work
Good example of why one should always clean their drills after every use, and store them in a vertical position so they remain clean and dry inside. Also, if they are not used a lot, or if you have a lot of insects in your storage area, seal them up so bugs don't make nests inside them.
Hey man, have been enjoiying your video's ,watching them alllll the way through, its addictive for me, that boulder at 43:54, just before you touch off the explosive, the boulder looks so solid, to then just kinda melt into SO manny small bits, love the view from the drone, you really see how far it throws them bits of rock into the woods, so cool, it dose such a neet job, you would think its way more messy, really appreciate you and your video's, really love watching stuff like this, the rock crusher vid was the first i seen, really loved that one, didunt miss a minet of it, most people dont talk to, but you make it more intresting by infourming us what you are doing, your plan of acction and all, and just the diffrent camra angles, really enjoiy it, thank you ever so much for shareing it with us all, i will happly keep watching, you have a sub from me.
I love watching people dig :). You would've had a lot of fun with a rotortilt for the excavator!
This was fun. Subbed, ill be diving into your other content when i can. Definitely a very intelligent dude, cant wait to see what you get up to. 🤙
Lovin' this job already! Go explode some huge rocks, play Mudrunner in Reallife with your Quad in some dirt puddles, getting to pull that caravan outta the mud, getting to use and work with a excavator making new paths for a river while still being in the middle of nature surrounded by trees and whatsoever. I don't know, but the thought of this being a Job is kinda satisfying. Sweden is awesome!
I only recently found your channel and am enjoying them very much! It is very interesting seeing you at work and you are a hard worker. The footage of the rock being blown up was absolutely stunning. Perhaps because of my upbringing on a farm in Wales where certain trees and rocks act as landmarks and often from which the name of the field derives, I always feel a sense of sadness or longing when a large tree gets felled or a rock destroyed. Even though I know it has to be done and have helped to do so. I felt it with that rock too, even though I would do exactly the same thing. I wonder if anyone else feels that way. Perhaps it is a Welsh thing as we have a strong sense of 'hiraeth' (longing) even though we Welsh mined coal and slate in huge amounts!
Watched it again!! Because the blasting is all that good!!
Gillar dina videos, intressanta och bra gjorda😃
Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video. Sincerely Hollandduck
Ha! Enjoyed the video and the capture from every angle of the rock explosions! 💯👌
On 16:01 you realise the problem. You dig more in direction street than to the forrest so there is space ony for one vehicle at the end. I hope there will never ever be a fire there. But you are doing a great deal of job there. 👍👏
Remove that plate on the bucket and you will be surprised how well it handles tough rock dense dirt
Holy shit, lol, that last rock explosion was saweeettt, 💪💪✊👌🤙
Dude, that last rock blast was awesome! You got some REALLY good shots! Looks like you're having fun. Can you talk about the road a bit more? It's just for logging correct? How long is it? Stay safe brother.
Zb. . Cb
This video made me realise how actually scary explosions are in comparison to video games and movies.
9:26 LOL i love the safety hand. its an upgrade from safety squints. if the cable goes it will only take some fingers instead of your eyes. pretty good trade i think hahaha
That's the best job in the world. Drive around on a quad in the woods blow some stuff up
love the multiple angle views and slow motion of the blasting's...
Great video again Mattias, I have so many questions... What's the story with the caravan? And the road , its in your property ? someone is paying you to fix and improve ? about the pionjar, maybe for horizontal drilling, making some sort of jig to fix on the quad and push ? or the takeuchi perhaps ? Keep on making videos, they are really nice
Thanks, the caravan was there for when building the road and Its family owned property. A jig is on the Todo list!
This was the very first engineering. Great work! Excellent videography! As critique, You could have placed a 12" diameter pvc pipe in one of the trenches you dug across the road, then covered it. Also, you could have used more timelapse, the video was unecessarily long. All in all it's a great video. No doubt making it slowed down your work but I'm really thankful you did.
