***** 5 Stars ***** Once again, AWESOME video! Keep up the great work! Man, I think it is hot right now in Cali. By the way, I just sponsored a group of soldiers in Iraq and they said it gets incredibly hot there just like you said. The stuff we take for granted. Thanks again and God bless!

[LifesEyesFilms]

Good for you! Those are some lucky soldiers to have you! Thanks for watching, and thanks for the great comment!

war is overrated :(

[kicknbazz1615]

how hot does it get out there

[LifesEyesFilms]

The highest ground temperature reading that we took was 160F in open sun light on the hottest day of the year. Granted, ambient temperatures were a little lower, around 140, again on the hottest day. Average around summer was around 120F.

I guess the quick answer is, "Frickin Hot"!

[kicknbazz1615]

jeez and your in all that gear you guys must have been fryen

[LifesEyesFilms]

yup yup!

[Loaf859]

Wow, thanks again. =]

[LifesEyesFilms]

Oh no, Thank you!

[mpoertner]

Awesome video!!! The cut to the pictures went a little too fast but then again maybe I'm just too slow. haha Cheers!

[LifesEyesFilms]

Yeah, I was worried about that. I'm not too happy about it either. I guess, try using the pause button if you really want to see the pics, that's what I have to do.

Thanks for checking it out though!

Thats a desolute looking place over there. How have you guys been? Fine I hope. I did some mechanic work on Steppinwolfs tour bus back in the 80`s. The best I can remember the lead singer was the only original member.They let me in their concert on the guest list. I went to jail that night. LOL.

How do you get permission to use music from UniversalMusicGroup? I went to the link but I didnt see where to ask them.

Thanks guys!

Very desolate in parts.

We've been good, but quite busy. Some big changes around here, but for the best.

That's awesome that you had such a close personal connection! I'm sure that's quite a story, and I'd love to hear more!

[blair9123]

[LifesEyesFilms]

HOT indeed!

Thanks for stopping by man!

[demisangbelge]

What is the tractor like vehicle at 02:28? Awesome video!

[LifesEyesFilms]

It's basically an over sized metal detector/mine sweeper called a Meerkat.

[azbecerril]

Sweet GREAT VID AND SONG!!!

[LifesEyesFilms]

Thank you so much! I love the song too, Foo Fighters and many other current bands must have gotten some of their inspiration from these guys!

[azbecerril]

I bet they did!

[AZNGoSu]

how did you guys refuel?

[LifesEyesFilms]

Very carefully!

[dudeskinn]

[002BLACKSITE]

Awesome video!

[LifesEyesFilms]

Well thank you, very glad you liked it!

[dvospeed1]

Still a good video. You guys used some interesting vehicles.

[LifesEyesFilms]

Yeah, there is no shortage of unusual gear in service in the Middle East right now.

It was fun to work with though!

[dvospeed1]

I bet it was. Have you ever seen the mine-field clearing vehicle called the Aardvaark Mark IV?

That looks like a lot of fun to drive!

[LifesEyesFilms]

I've heard of it, but I never got to work with one.

[nesten1]
