One of those rare genius comments XD

When I was young, there was a neighbor who's daughter nearly died after being pulled beneath a corn pile. Farming is risky business! Thanks for sharing this.

As a retired farmer, I Thank You. The fact that farming is at or near the top of the list for most hazardous occupations in the U.S. matters little to the general population due to the fact the percentage that are farmers is so small. It does my heart good to see there are people and organizations being proactive with regard to grain bin rescue efforts. Until you. Have been trapped in. A bin it is hard t truly appreciate. Stay safe.

Good thing the unconscious patient was able to cooperate with the rescue! Would have been a struggle otherwise! + My deepest respect for supporting the emergency services this way, some unfortunate farmers will be very grateful for this.

We were trained for hazardous waste rescue at my job. The closest professional help to the job site was over an hour away. When the person was found unconscious we got a hit for every time we asked or had them do anything during the rescue. Afterwards the teacher explained everything to us and gave pointers to help us out. I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you Zack.

Thank you for raising this money for grain bin rescue. As a retired city firefighter - I never had to go on a grain bin rescue. But sadly we have lost some in our and neighboring counties over the years. I've seen this equipment a few years ago at a rescue training. Take care - be safe. Again a big thank you for doing this. 'Spin'

I worked in a coop at 14. My first job! I was lowered into the silos on a harness to level out the grain. You gotta love the 70's

Well done video. I was a Township Trustee for 32 years, and worked with the local Fire Departments to provide, and find funding for such programs. Our local volunteer fireman are so dedicated, bless them all. Good work, Zach!!

The Pemberville Freedom Fire Department if 5 miles from my house. I'm sure there very thankful. It means alot to our small rural towns. So thank you very much.

Thank you for all you done for the fire departments all over the world

Oh man.. if you're claustrophobic, you'll have a great time watching this video. Hats off to you good sirs!

After retiring from 30 years as a volunteer fireman specializing in crash/rescue, I can tell you the training these guys get is invaluable. Thank you for all you are doing t help these heroes.

Zach and Becky, Randy and the rest, THANK YOU! I'm excited to see how far the equipment and techniques have come in just a few years. I'm retired EMT after 20 years of high angle technical rescue from Mankato/Blue Earth County, MN. I've seen my share of grain bin fatalities. Education for the farmers and trainings such as this WILL save lives.

Cool nice to see our local FD received some funds. Thank you all

We just took this training with your instructor in the colony to the north of us good training good instructor they built good equipment to all the fellow firefighters and first responders be safe and remember we all go home

Impressive work by the rescuers AND by the Johnson family to help local fire departments acquire the needed equipment.

I spent a ton of time in a corn bin. Came close to getting stuck but, always got out on my own. Never even thought about "what if". Dad said, go shovel out the hard spots and up the ladder and in the bin I went. Pretty dark in the old York Bin way back when. Hated that job nearly as much as picking rocks. Rural response time is the real question for me. Might help to always have a cell phone in the bin. If you can even get a signal in there. So good to see this Grain Bin Rescue raising awareness. Those who have been on the front lines in the bins alway risk their life going down the corn hole. Snickerfits.

Very cool video. I was an EMT in my younger days. We did specialized training where we had to rappel off grain bins to rescue injured folks. This was in the early 80s.

That is truly how you make América great again. Donate what you can even if it’s just time you have to help some one. I’m ready for regularly scheduled videos again😉. Again thank you Zach and everyone eles that contributed.

Valuable tools and training. This is a serious condition that can trap anyone so quickly they can't get out. Thanks Zach for starting this and Thanks to all the contributors.

So awesome to see it in action! Thanks to Randy's department for sharing.

A farm is one of the most dangerous workplaces in the world. I grew up on one. There are 1000’s of different ways to get yourself hurt or killed. As you mentioned a slurry pit kills quite a few. Loca farmer had 3 folks lose their lives when someone was down in trying to fix the discharge pump when fumes took him down. Two helpers jumped in the pit to try to pull him out and they died too. Anything spinning can take you out pretty quick too. PTO shafts are deadly. Getting caught on any kinda roller chain whether it be on a hay elevator, baler, or something will kill or maim. Getting crushed is a real possibility if your working under something and it gives way. Just countless ways.

For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone would go into a grain bin without wearing a harness attached to an overhead winch that they could activate at the first sign of trouble to winch themselves up. I've got to believe that the grain bin manufacturers have such a system available for newer bins, and with all the ingenuity that farmers have, they could rig something up along these lines to work on the older bins.

I'd have a harness stored at the top of the bin so I wouldn't have to remember it each time, just like any tool that I took to the top of the bin would be on a one-way trip as I would leave it in a tool box at the top. If you used the tool once at the top, you'll eventually need it again. I'm trying to eliminate additional climbs to the top carrying tools.
