Working Northern BC

[mysushi9]

I noticed that when you buy deere tractors now you just paying for the name

I've looked at several tractors from them all with plastic fenders and body attached to a metal frame..

[bert26a]

Sounds like radio is just as shitty in Northern B.C. as it is in Southern Manitoba.

[skidooHM]

i also have a 872dx. best grader weve had.

[CDNcatskinner]

@skidooHM I love em, I am definately a converted cat grader fan, its sad actually, deere is what cat should be right now

[HitachiZaxis450LC]

cool job looks like a lot of fun. Are you guys sleeping on site? What exactly is this job? good video.

[CDNcatskinner]

@HitachiZaxis450LC Sometimes we drove from town, sometimes we stayed in our campers, This job was a high grade gravel road construction project for a large oil company....they plan on drilling many gas wells in the area

[Elva89]

Cant wait to get my heavy equiptment operators license

[CDNcatskinner]

@Elva89 its a good life, I am surprised mare people don't do it...good luck!

[Elva89]

@CDNcatskinner THanks man.

[Fireheart528]

@CDNcatskinner Any advice on getting that license that you could let a newbie in on? It's the only profession I know of that you get to play in the dirt and get paid for it. Sorry for the double video comment.

is that a cattle drive going up the road at 0:35?!?!?

[CDNcatskinner]

@Fireheart528 There are some operator training courses around, it may even get to the point that tickets will be required in the future...I got in the old way, I went to work for an uncle that trained me right after high school, didn't get on a seat right away, had to work as a labourer, putting in culverts and fueling machines...I think a good way to get started is just send a resume in and start at the bottom

[13frontrow]

great video & channel buddy.

[pufflesareverygay]

i like the video cuz no one has a dodge =P, gmc, chevy, and ford for life

[aid2003]

There is some heavy traffic in this wood..

Cows-machines -trucks..LOL

[CATMUSCLE]

Hay there Jeff, been offline for a while man, good to come back and see another quality CDN Production!!! =D

[cheeptorque]

[Gasteraner]

Wow !

[ironflyer]

Good vid. I liked the culvert carry, smart idea.

[equipmentfan93]

awesome video as always Jeff!

[artistfarmer]

Awesome Jeff!! Well at least you can video from the grader....you could be stuck in the scraper...LOL....and great to see the cattle drive....I've been on a couple myself.....short hauls... and glad to see you're keeping busy!

[CDNcatskinner]

I think this drive was about 20k drive, going from private ranchland to a gov't lease....it would be hard to film in the buggy...i would end up eating the ditch or the cam

[artistfarmer]

HAHAHA......that's why I said it.....the buggy videos would make us dizzy.......LOL

[cjminokc]

Great footage!

[CDNcatskinner]

thanks so much for watching!

[klasstruckit61]

lo a cow walk through,, not every day you see that, nice grader,,jeff  do you have AC in it,,

[CDNcatskinner]

...and finding a song like "get-a-long little doggie" is impossible to find....ya its got the AC and thank god for that...its been over 30 for the past 2 weeks...thx klass!

[twoplyboy]

hey...we used to have "the bear" here in ottawa to. it was the same logo and bear growl until they were bought out by virgin radio about 6 months ago. I miss the old bear. great video.

[CDNcatskinner]

our bear is a bit amateurish, but Edmonton has a very good one...must be a frachise type thing

[ZoeToots]

Real horses...and...cows? For real? I really am a city girl!!! To see that was really shockingly cool! I'm glad you filmed that. My fave part!!! are you enjoying yourself?

[CDNcatskinner]

oh yeah!!  cattle drives and shootouts happen daily!....jk! I am enjoying this, actually thinking about doing this for real and giving up the other gig, but who knows, I'm a whore for money right now and I may change my mind again...but the pay is really good doing this too and much less hassel

[ZoeToots]

I do wonder what you will choose. Hope your doing good!

[69rd96]

Good to know you're still busy, I'll bet those trailers suck in the heat.

[CDNcatskinner]

Yep still going and it sounds like a lot of work to go....and you are right, its not happy happy fun time when we get back to the shacks at night when its above 30 all day

[500passwords]

you dont see a cattle drive everyday . 5 stars

[CDNcatskinner]

They made us shut down for the duration...it was a good extra half hour off

[mackjack525]

Top Vid Jeff, you got some nice gear up there mate..

[CDNcatskinner]

Thanks...I am liking the equipment, just got another 2 new(er) G series scrapers so I am hoping they upgrade me to a 872D now that we have 5 scrapers going
