It’s really cool to see how well you guys are doing with KZread.. Honestly during the years of the TV show, I was a massive hater.. but when you guys got out of that and picked up your KZread channel, there was a notable shift in the quality of the content and in the overall vibe you guys had (for the better, in my opinion). Slowly became a fan, and now I am addicted to the videos. You’re doing great work, especially the way you’ve gone out of your way to find large scale projects that are great content and extremely charitable at the same time. People helping people is a beautiful thing!

I remember watching every video on the recovery I was stuck in the hospital for a good 3+ weeks and to see the toll i knew it took on you guys helped me to change my attitude about getting out of that dam hospital bed and back to my regular life which did give me that motivation I needed to get out of there so thank you guys cuz even tho I got out of there I still had a good month of daily nurse visits and over a year of physical therapy im still not back to 100% but im fine with that

Watched thru to "The End" -- this came Mighty Close to a Problem that people who strap ice skates to their booted feet have to Deal With, after the 1st skater goes through the ice; at what point to you decide to "Cut your Losses." (The really Intelligent skaters prepare, with a coil of rope -- instead of "Suspenders and Belt" -- belt With overlapping Rope.)

In my 22 years in the Army, I had some miserable recoveries (mostly Deep South Georgia swamp). Nothing I had compares to this, and I had some doozies. I can’t imagine the suck of this mission… love the channel!

Just goes to show that we can never take anything for granted, you've got all these very capable vehicles that for one reason or another just didn't cut it. Congrats for the perseverance to finally get that beast out. And you certainly have a great bunch of people working for you. Don't quite understand why the state were giving you such a hard time, couldn't they see you were doing everything you possibly could to remedy the situation. Anyway kudos to you all.

If it's anything like the Arkansas river up in Tulsa Oklahoma area that much damage to it will permanently weaken it. Making it 100x easier for the next person to get stuck worse. The Arkansas river has claimed lives from this. One moment you're driving along on a sand bar next moment you are buried/eaten alive almost instantly. And damn near nothing will pull you out. It's illegal for that reason to ever go into that river when "dry"

It's a life lesson to us all that if the best of us can come unstuck, then so can the rest of us - it's not just Karma and the Gods being mean to the little guys...and then the most important lesson - don't give up, just keep going and trying different angles until you get it right. I feel just a little inspired by this to go out and tackle a few issues I have - thank you again!

Great video guys, love watching what you guys do!

You and Brent have these killer videos out right now. Love the dedication and hard work

How did you explain to Jim that the only reason you did not sink anymore vehicles was because you had no more vehicles left on the island to sink.

Dave and all of your crew, thanks for a very remarkable video! I Love you won't give up attitude, that was quite an extensive recovery. Keep up the good work guys and always be safe 👍✌️🇺🇲

Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes of the difficult recovery.

Never in my life have I seen tracked equipment that sunk and stuck! This includes 8 years in the Army and mud holes from hell it's self! I'm 56 and thought I'd seen every way and type of vehicle stuck that you could stick! I was wrong, this literally dropped my jaw! How many times were you asked why it took you all those stuck vehicles to say, ENOUGH!! 😆😎 It was certainly good emergency, drop everything guys and come help training! Your truly blessed to have all those resources available to you...🤘

thank you for talking about the scammers and your experience.

This was a fun episode of story time with HeavyD.. amazing content and the backstory of that Island excavator recovery makes much more sense now..

What a recovery!! Thank you 🙏 for your honest human humbleness . It takes a real man to show the world his stuff ups of the high and low’s … You have a amazing team you can call family. This could have broken you all but you came out as winners Even if we try as hard as we might to right the mess that is in front of us ,We as humans are put in Situations that pull us to breaking point … We rise up and conquer ❤

Loved this look back, always working, never quitting, getting it done. Great job, Team Sparks!!

Wow that is quite the ultimate brown storm! What a incredible situation that cooked up and so quickly it took so much longer to undo, what a amazing team you have.

I admire your grit and determination to keep going. It did sound like the island didn’t want you there. Sounds like a good story now, but I bet at the time, you were all cussing each other out. Love ya HeavyD! I have finally caught up!

I'm glad you were able to get all of your equipment out and that everyone is safe and sound

Thank you Dave and friends that video describes how it's like to live with mental illness and depression , keep moving forward everyday

Wow! The thing that impressed me was the calibre of the guys and the teamwork to problem solve the situation. Well done.

definitely relate to this one. had our 330 excavator stuck and used our 450 excavator and D8 dozer for an entire 12hr to get it done. and it was ROUGH. we had more solid ground surrounding thankfully. but it was a rough day

Wow that was a humdinger of a situation getting those vehicles stuck like that. There is one thing we can say about you, you don't give up. May God Bless and keep you and your crew Safe. Stay Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy Everyone 💞

I wish you guys were from scotland when I live,I’m a 56 disabled truck and bus driver and had to give work up due to my disability and all I ever want is a motorhome with disabled access built for me and with not a lot of cash but I need away with my wife of 40 years and after watching you guys I’m impressed,you do everything so professionally

Wow! I commend you and your crew for staying on top of it even when it looked and felt hopeless. At the end, the island let you have your vehicles back and you left the island be. Mother Nature always wins, but she's open for negotiations. This felt like one of Mr. Ballen's videos!!!😮😮🤙

Absolutely love the videos and hard work

Amazing job and crew.

HeavyD your greatest asset is your authenticity. This is why the fake truck recovery was a mis-step. People cheer for you because you are a good, kind person. Stay true to your roots, your heritage and keep generating genuine content. You'll enjoy continued success.

It sucks recovering equipment for people performing the work, and breakage involved is a heart breaker, and recovering your own equipment is done with all your own expense and its not just monetary loses you said it your self almost lost two employees, friendship with the local government, and the feeling of doubt. It sucks but you are one of the best at what you do, so you always get the job done pissed, sad, overworked, you and your crew always get the job done. Kudos for the great content to you and your crew. If what you do wasn't hard anyone could do it, and you would be just another run of the mill so called recovery experts like a lot of the other youtubers.

Respect for the camera and editing team of this channel. You guys know what you're doing!

Thanks for the Videos and especially for the Heads Up on the Scammers. I keep getting them Pop Up on my Facebook Posts.

What a great and, to me, completely unknown story. Thanks for making this. While it wouldn’t help with any recovery I wonder if you’ve ever thought of hovercraft for moving people etc in these shallow-water / sandy / muddy condition. They certainly have their drawbacks but there isn’t another mode of transport that can beat an air-cushion vehicle where you can’t walk, drive yet the terrain is relatively flat and unobstructed. Thanks!
