Nothing can stop Andrew, even a broken foot! Your determination to carry on and not even be phased by it is inspiring!
driving with left foot like a boss 😎
I have a dude in my office job who took sick leave for 3 weeks because he had knee surgery and couldn't walk, even though we only have one office day per week and it's not mandatory. Could have easily just worked from home those three weeks. And then there's Andrew doing some welding and excavating with a broken foot, lol
I see no stopping. With his prothetic he run around with 90% of two feet.
You know you did it right when the doctor issues a peg leg to keep weight off it
At least they gave him a new leg to walk on for now. Probably even made it himself. 😆
I like how the broken foot just does not bother him at all. Pretty crazy Hope it heals soon, keep up the awesome content.
Like with all his videos (not criticism, they are good the way he does them) they are filmed over a long period of time. I'm pretty sure his foot has already been healed for quite a while. Was probably early summer or something that he broke it (just guessing).
@@atnfn the pile of Trees and bushes he piled up was the one that was burning in the last video. that was one Indicator of time passing

You are just a spoiled ass suburban child that was never spanked, your day is comming lil bitch lol;
I cant imagine this guy sitting on a chair for more than a minute ... well unless hes editing !!!!!
I feel like if every bone in the man’s body were literally broken, he’d still be operating an excavator with mind control or some shit, this dude is an absolute unit💪🏻
Fluanting his excavator skills the way he put the new bucket in the bed haha
Excavator is all done by Hands ahaha

Pond looks great and a joy to watch Cody and Blue having fun. I guess the water may clear in time but you could put some water plants in it.
From an old deaf Canadian, thanks for the subtitles, Andrew. Entertaining as always. Salute!
I think those are auto generated.
@@tuju- Yes, and this was Andrew's first video where captions were available, right.
@@garsonprice3441 you think he himself wrote those loose words like ’good’ and ’foreign’ etc that were translated from noise? Right
Andrew hat off, man working with broken leg in such active business , my respect. Quick recovery!
I’ve got your package right here…open wide troll

Awesome job building a pond for Cody & Blue! They obviously love it. 🐾❤️
Or was it Blue & Blue. 🤣🤣
every lab needs a pond. :)
I love how due to the length of time he records videos over, by the end of the video his foot is back to normal. Shows the timescales and dedication over them! Wonder how many projects he has on the do at once? The footage must be interesting to try and keep organised
So anyway, my foot broke for, like, NO reason.
Although I am NOTHING like Andrew, I keep folder of projects and shove all the footage in them after each day. They assemble themselves in date order so it's not that hard.. More difficult with screen-recoeds, drone footage and more than one camera..!
Andrew, I'm an x-ray tech so listen. If the fracture is at the bottom of the 5th metatarsal then there is an increased chance the blood supply can be cut off which creates its own problems. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice because of the reason mentioned. Still, I love your "can do" attitude! You're an inspiration!!!!
Hal's Pals, what do you think the chances are of his ignoring his doctor's advice and, instead, taking advice from, God knows who or what, in a YT comments section?
Andrew putting all of us to shame being more productive in one leg than we are on two!
Andrew has the coolest toys.
@@BruceBoschek on god
Thanks for all the updates. Pond and the landscaping looks great! Nice job as always.
Ingenuity at work again on the larger bucket adaptation. Amazing transformation from an ugly spot to a beautiful pond & surroundings. Great to see Samantha and you working together again and enjoying the dogs. Can't get over their love of water! 👍👍👍
I wish Andrew would show more videos of actual jobs he does for people like he used to. I enjoy watching what he puts out but I enjoyed that too.
He said he hasn’t taken on any jobs for other this years but hopes to next year
He’s to busy driving up and down the hill at his new property to do actual jobs..making that KZhead Moneys
What jobs?
The jobs were pretty interesting but watching this mountain come together is going to be super cool
Sometimes the shoe shiner has to shine his own shoes!
Broken foot, still works like nothing is wrong, we need more people like andrew. Always great videos and i think the pond is probably the nicest addition to your mountaintop. Keep up your great work and stay safe
Ain't no joke- very few in the new generation like him! OUTSTANDING VIDEO YET AGAIN !
Greetings from Athens - Hellas (Greece)! Mr Andrew Camarata you are a legend. Your videos are psychotherapeutic, they can heal depression, also you are a brilliant mechanic and you easy teach others about big vehicles. May always be Healthy and Happy...
Broken fifth metatarsal is no joke. Took four months to recover from mine about 20 years ago. At least was able to avoid surgery. Hope yours goes well, Andrew!
Great seeing Sam in more videos. She is quite the mechanic also. Love your vedios!!
Who is Sam? Is she his sister or his main squeeze? I've seen her in videos before, but didn't catch the relationship.
@@born2soon Girlfriend
A casual goddess
@@marxman00 😂😂
Great job on the pond. Your determination is amazing. Nothing can keep you down. You and Sam are a wonderful team . 👍👍😊
Honestly, halfway through the video I was expecting to learn that the leg crutch was junk and see Andrew improve its design.
LOL 😂 at your comment… 👍
I was waiting for it to break for no reason.
or put on a pirate hat
I'm a little surprised that he did not try to weld the broken bone with his tig welder.
@@robertputnam9046 that’s what happened to his leg
Great video, Andrew! Some work, some healing, some pups and Samantha! All together with a new pup pond. Doesn't get much better than this! Be well, be safe!
These are incredible videos Andrew. Just getting things done. & having fun. Well done. 👍👍
Great video. Glad to see you back hope the foot heals up good. Can’t wait for more videos. Your ways doing something interesting and fun as well as creative.
No click bait. Just a bad ass with a broken foot living his dream. And sharing the fascination with us all. Love ya Andrew
Nothing slopws you down Andrew, Your a true testament to what a man with a mission can do. Hope you heal up fast bro, Love from Norther NJ
i am so happy for both of you, you have it all now andrew, and then you build your dogs a pond just for fun. what a man you are. god bless you all. thank you for the video andrew. the road up to the trailers is looking so good.
Who's the other guy?
@@BenDover-ks1hb I think it's his son?
@@Trialnerror what? Try again. Andrew doesn't have any kids. Probably just another one of his friends. Ever see when he goes snowmobiling or 4 wheeling how large his friend group is?
Y'all are joking right? Pretty sure that's not a guy.
His GF for sure . Anyway it’s not our buisness. I’m happy for you Andrew !
Another great video from the best team on KZhead! I hate you broke the foot but as we've seen it doesn't slow you down, Loved watching the pond come together and keep up the great content you two!
Nice to see you both sitting side by side on the big rock by the side of the pond.
who was that sitting next to Andrew?
@@georgeomax5013 I hope it’s a girl.
What I love about your videos is how you only say the things that need to be said, and the footage tells the rest od the story. I also love how you don't try and push any politics or ideas. This is a rare and special channel, keep it up!
Just love the way Andrew rearranged a mountain to suit his needs!
Guide to tourists: " There used to be mountains here." Tourists: "What happened?" Guide:"Andrew Camarata!"
Good to see another video guys hope life is treating you both good look after that foot .
What a beautiful little oasis in the woods. Love the big rocks. Thanks for sharing and be safe.
Let's see Sam on the excavator and other equipment. I think she has become an important part of the show now. I think she would be an excellent operator if given the chance. Instead of driving all the vehicles. Give her a chance....
@@JJ-yn8fl She has a youtube channel too her name is Samantha Weber.
Girl? I thought Andrew liked young teenage boys. She looks like a dude.
Considering all the stuff you get into you managed to break a foot running. You kept on working, god for you. Nice pond for the dogs, they obviously like it. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great Andrew. You might want to consider selecting specific species of plants to put in the pond, not to overtake it but to help filter the water. Not sure how fish would survive with the critters in it woods but if it's deep enough they might survive
Frogs show up quick
@@AndrewCamarata Tank you Andrew we watch from Europe, outstanding work as always, Blu did grow quick.. both dogs love that pond since was small with dirty water and even more after rain when you added blue stuff ! Big Love man, keep us happy with any content you can !
@@AndrewCamarata...well now you can do some gigging and have frog legs.
Two large bags of aluminum sulfate would clear that pond over night. It's also used to keep pickles crisp while canning.
@@AndrewCamarata hey Andrew I bought 2 hoodies off your website what us taking yo so long to ship them its been 7 days I didn't get a notice in my email please let me know thanks
The 2 of you sitting together on that rock next to the pond was a very nice sight. It was heart w.arming
Thank you for the video, at 27:40 watching you and Sam sharing a moment sitting on a rock was nice.
Look at that fall foliage ! Those trees are turning many pretty colors !
that last shot was well done. its so fun getting cinematic shots with the DJI drones. a little more effort of course but those smooth shots are so worth it.
LOL I have to smile at your way of uncomplicatedly solving complicated issues. I live in another country, but would love to work with you. TWO thumbs up !
A nice feature to your mountain top retreat. An enjoyable spot to escape to, and once again, great call and vision for your property!
Like I always said Andrew I wish I had a quarter of your determination and work ethics wow.
Another great video , as usual . Love the pond , looks great , only going to improve over time , plants would be great . I think that Blue is the smart one he waits till Cody has done the work then takes the bounty himself !! Cant wait to see the rock crusher in action , you have a lot of road surfaces to improve !!
We missed you Andrew! Always glad when you drop a new joint
Get Well soon, Andrew, with the very best wishes from Germany!💪🍀
In this moment with all of the bad things thatvare happening now in iran only thing that i need is your video to make me calm down thank you andrew ❤
Persians are great people and God willing they will throw off their oppressive regime!
What's going on there now?
Maziar, acabe de sacar un Disco te invito a escucharlo se que te gustará 🍷👍🏼🥂
I've been watching for about three years and I am amazed that this is the first cast we've seen.
Andrew's the man !! broken foot and all, didn't miss a beat
Get well soon Andrew & Great content as always..
Two uploads in one week! It’s our lucky day fellas!
Nice work! I've seen you weld on Kubota ears like this before, using the machines coupler and some c clamps to get them in the correct position. Not sure if you do this but it wasn't shown in the video, but adding a 1/16" shim between one ear and the coupler helps a lot. I did one that ended up a bit too tight.
I agree with adding a shim when building - even just 5-10 sheets of paper is sufficient.
A couple layers of masking tape works well
Good info. Thanks
Great job on the pond. I admire your determination to keep going with a broken foot.
You should put bluestone all the way around that pond. Would look great! your vids are money in the bank. Keep em coming, Andrew.
Glad to hear (from your comment replies) that the foot is healed. just in time for snowmobile season!
I never saw that kind of brace for a broken foot. I hope it heals as fast as possible for you Andrew
Great having you back and busy.
Another great project concluded Andrew Great job
I love Andrews music choices. Wish he could ID the artist occasionally. This is all greatest content ever
Enjoyed the video very much. It's nice seeing you two sitting on rock together. Nothing wrong with having a sweetheart.
you are such nice parents to build the kids a pool!!! Glad to see your foot healed.
You are straight up one bad ass determined hard working and awesome person. Thanks.
Another interesting video, just wish it was a bit longer. I hope Andrews's foot gets better sooner than later.🔆
I think the Video with the Excavator Shovel is an older Video, in the Last Video he walk normally (The Video where he reparis the Road up the Hill) Hope it´s correct, my english isn´t very well 😅
His foot was healed at the end od the video where he was sitting on a rock by the pond. Go back and take a look. 👍
At the end of the video, when your drone was flying high and pulling back, one can see a series of large lakes off in the distance and to the left of the middle on some of the hills out there. I think that it's an awkward place to see lakes of that size and grouping on the side of that hill, but I could be wrong. The question I have is "are they natural lakes or dug and manicured by some humans"? You have shown us some very interesting landmarks in the past with rocks and water and hills. This type of ending is one of your video trademarks, and it adds so much of a peaceful conclusion to them that it is nice to see it coming rather than the abrupt ending that so many other people have on their videos. This is one reason that you get so many compliments on the camera work you do.
Those might have been man made.
Are you guys sure those are lakes cause they contour with the land and there are trees in them? They look like fields to me.

That pond turned out perfect nice job man an i like how u put the whole build an the updates afterwards that was pretty cool
This guy is an animal. True definition of a hard worker! I'm laying here just got a new hip 3 days ago thinking you couldn't pay me enough to do that. KEEP UP YHE GREAT WORK!
Nice work Andrew! Hoping you heal quickly! Used to do a lot of Ortho surgery up here in Albany. Hopefully you didn’t need surgery! I guess you went to Kingston if you needed surgery. Great video, great pond!
Most definitely dog approved, The perfect place to have a little pond and a place you can picnic Samantha is a keeper
Great video as always ! Love watching, always interesting, great skills, love the machines. Dogs are ace to watch.
Love the pond. Hope you heal quickly!
We've admired Andrew's work ethic and unstoppable can-do attitude. Seeing this episode reminded us that the road up to mountain-top really needs attention. Animatedly looking to see Andrew do this.
Ernest, acabe de sacar un Disco te invito a escucharlo se que te gustará 🍷👍🏼🥂
Not even a broken foot stops this guy. Bionic Man 😂
Wow, those shears are an amazing time saver when it comes to light brush processing.
Dude you got it going on. Love watching and keep being creative!
Andrew is like the US Mail...NOTHING will stop him from completing a task. Broken foot , no problem. Guy is a legend.
He was a postal employee at one time
@@kevinthomas895 I know that.. that's the joke.
The Advantage of youth!. leg support was off by the time the video wa ended over period of month or so. glad to see the pond held its water. at my age it would take a year for that leg to heal (pushing 80) But it's kinda hard for me to break anything unless I fall out of this chair! which is whereI spend most my days watching YT!. Thanks again Adndrew for another interesting video and for sharing. ECF
I wish I was there to help you but I’m glad you still did it. I hope you get better soon Andrew
Man that tree cutting attachments awesome. I could use that all day and never get tired of it. Make trails everywhere!
Hi, Andrew - obviously not for heavy work, but just for mucking around the house I use velcro strapped old man shoes just for between the house and the shop. It's almost impossible to trip over them and I have to get them on in a hurry when taking the dog out in the middle 'o' the night so similar setup as what you were doing, on a nightly basis. Brooks Addiction Walkers are AMAZING!!! I'm due for another pair.
This is why I like Andrews videos he's like me work work gets hurt carries on working even though injured
15:13 for those wondering what happened to Andrews foot... Although I would suggest watching the full video, as Andrew is one of the best content creators on KZhead.
"This foot broke for no reason" 🤣🤣
@@howsyourdangler Haha, that whould have been a PRICELESS joke! XD
Hey Andrew pretty fun video,, The pond is great..thanks..
That's pond is amazing 👏 😍 you guys did a great job. This was a good'ol old school top of the line video. Well done. Made me feel like I was apart of it. You truly have an amazing life. You're so very very Blessed. Your hard work has been multiplied 10 fold because you're such a good man. 👍
How’d you break your foot Andrew ?
I guess you’ve answered that one for me Andrew
0:48 Good to see you're keeping your foot out the way of that torch! 😁 Get well soon!
Hope your foot gets better soon Andrew, all the best :)
Andrew, congratulations on your ability to overcome the broken foot. Re the pond, there's obviously a lot of silt/clay in there. Would a gravel lining help and/or an aerator/filter assy?
@@anttihuttula6547 koita ny käyttäytyä.
Love that you just let your dogs be dogs, it's so cool to have land and be "free" allowing them to run...
wow good job on the pond nice to see such a hard working man! love it.
Excellent video Andrew, pupperoni's needed a water hole to jump into, and that one is really nice. Very zen video, nice to relax with. Nice to see you and Sam chillin'. Btw, Dirt Perfect, Mat from Diesel Creek, and letsdig18 want you to show up to some events. Matt from diesel creek does a lot of antique excavation shows, you should go to one. Cross pollinate the channels, it provides great content and you would go crazy operating cable equipment..I guarantee it!
@@anttihuttula6547 is english a second language for you, you make zero sense...
I would be very interested to see what sort of plans you've drawn out on paper or in your imagination for the mountain top property. The puppy pond was a great idea. I'm fairly sure you aren't just going haphazard. Show us your ideas.
Ditto.
You know Lionel, I kind of like the way Andrew sees an opportunity and capitalises on it. I'm guessing he sees potential in something, (a tool, a part, a bucket, or a location etc) and develops a concept that works for him, does the mental logistics on it, weighs up the cost/benefit (is it worth it) and then goes for it. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is probably the most efficient way to do things; no plans to draw up, and redraw and follow.... Well done Andrew (and helpers).
@@dachord Can,t wait
@@elliejackson6907 - I’m pretty sure you are exactly right!”😂😂. He can see the end results in his head before doing the work! I work similarly. If I have very specific plans, they change anyway. I do a lot of decks for family and friends and I have it in my head. Lumber list, everything. Eventually I will write the number and size of the lumber needed as well as concrete etc. then I mark it out and build it. Since I get very great responses to the product I build, I guess people that know me have come to trust me. I take their tastes and styles, budgets get expanded because it’s a hobby for me. I cover my costs plus about 10%. I don’t do any work for strangers or people that do not know me well. I only book one job at a time so my plans don’t get messed up!😂😂. They are floating free form up there!! Heh heh. Andrew is much the same, BUT I believe he can juggle more than one project very easily!! Makes me a bit jealous,,, haha. You are definitely good at determining how a person seems to think.
Great to have 2 vids dropped in a week! Love it! 👍
If Andrew were in the military, he'd be the most bad ass special forces guy there is. Nothing stops him.
Look at that , my leg broke for no reason ... Still gettin er done though huh . Get well soon if this was recorded now , dude .
Just discovered your channel. The best tool I found in years.. In a week's time I've discovered how to curb 20K off our upcoming land purchase new home and garage build. Thank you keep the great work
The Bond looks good Andrew!!. 👍👍 I hope you get better soon!
sorry to see you on the injured list and as always thanks for the videos! its funny to see what they turned the walking cast into.. it was first used in india to help with amputees and was originally 2 boards a length of branch and some rope....im betting your cast costs hundreds when the original cost pennies
Hundreds IF you have insurance.
Thank god for the NHS in the uk just pop in get fixed and leave no bills no fuss

I can't believe he's driving with his left foot😂, that's actually crazy, I've tried doing that just out of curiosity and I legit almost crashed, your left foot just isn't used to the light touch required for driving, so that is seriously impressive on his part, must have taken him a bit to get used to
That’s probably true for anyone who didn’t do any go karting as a kid. I can regulate both my feet just as well. In karting you brake exclusively with your left foot.
I broke my right leg, ankle, and foot in several places many years ago, and once I got out of the hospital, just 3 weeks later was driving my cars again. First few times it's a little sketchy, but you quickly get the hang of it. Using your left foot to brake takes some getting used to. Even after my foot was considered "healed", I continued using my left foot to brake for a while, until I built up strength in my right foot and got the muscles in my right leg back up to par.
I drove with my left foot delivering mail for years.
@@AndrewCamarata lol right cause it's on the other side, that's crazy....you know what would be an awesome video, you buying an old little postal truck and doing like a tour of the thing about all it's 'quirks and features' and like accidentally roll it off a cliff like what happened with that Toyota you had😂
@@AndrewCamarata I think you may have a scammer that responded to Andrew London. And they have been saying to others they have gifts just didn't want anybody to get scammed. Just a heads up they are using your same KZhead profile picture. Love your content keep it up brother!
Great video Andrew enjoyed it.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love to see dogs having so much fun.❤️
I was just wondering if you've seen a Mecalac MCR before... It is a skid steer and excavator all in one and I can do everything that both of them can do but it's in one platform. Apparently it's super popular and it just came to the United States a few years back.
Beautiful pond and woods Andrew. 👍👍👍
Andrew's got a leg up on the competition
