Latching up a collar going back in the hole. The rig wasn't leveled real well. The blocks hung a little to the left.

  • First of all Patterson dont let you latch on the run. Second this was when I was breaking out. Third I would have had to pull them all the way back in the alley to have them ready....aint happening. Im working the board and if that driller dont like the way I do shit then he can find someone else. Probally like my third time in the derrick. Everyone is a critic. Im bigger Im better Im faster....who gives a fuck! I will upload some new videos as soon as I get some. And yes I was afraid of heights

  • just another lazy fuck derrick hand that dont want too pull back and put them in the fingers must be american

  • hey like I said thats how it is done around here.....I could put them in the fingers if I needed it only a collar!

  • don't even say that shit they don't go in the fingers ass! Put them where they want them.

  • Why don't yall rack your collars in the fingers? I've never seen anyone that'll let you stand em in the derrick like that. Our safety man would shit himself if he saw that.

  • Every rig I have worked on we racked them in the derrick...never done it any other way. Did work with a couple of guys who had.

see all

  • you puss! you dont latch collars w the elevators comin down!! you tell the drill to stop coming up! i can latch a collar in under30 seconds.WORM!!!!!

  • Going in the hole, been a long time since I worked a derrick. Used to handle the 3/1/2, and 4/1/2 triples no problem, but that 5/1/2 pipe kicked my butt. I'd like to see if I could still trip pipe for eight hours going in or out. Nice video of the collar work, brought back some memory's.

  • I'm wndring, why the collars are not on the fingers side?

    

  • lol @ all the comments, wow anyways well done no shame in how you do it as long as you get it done, i used the pussy rope all the time in the derrick no one cared that i did. my excuse you ever seen an old ass company man waddling around with gimpyed up t rex arms and a hump back.. yeah i dont wanna look like that at his age

  • Wow, how slow is that!
