Being a Lineman - Episode 30

I had started editing this one on December 23rd... Then things took a turn :( . My father became ill and we got hit with multiple bad storms. After a real busy month and then some time off for the family, things are slowly getting back to normal. My father was a big part of my life and will be missed greatly. Love ya always Dad 🕊️

Condolences from Germany, may your dad rest in peace. I am an german electrician. My father was an electrician to, but he was gone to heaven as i was 12 years... A great hugh to you.

Very sorry to hear your dad has passed. My best to you and your family

I can tell from your presence that he was a great man - like father, like son. Peace be with you and your family, and in your spare time, do your best to preserve his history as your father, that his grand and great grand children may learn of his strength and example.

I had a friend who was a journeyman trouble man lineman here in Kansas City and knowing him and knowing the work you guys do I respect you guys more than I do a policeman or fireman you guys deal with voltages and amperage that will kill you every hour of the day/night! You guys work in terrible weather and are out at all times of the day and night! Sorry to hear about your Father passing away! I lost my friend two years ago and I cry and miss him everyday! He and I were closer than I am with my blood brothers!

May your father rest in peace. Stay strong!

Brutal weather conditions to be out in repairing like that, much respect!

Sending you courage and strength Aaron to you and your entire family for the lost of your father and friend , i know deep in my heart he will keep an eye on you and to continue protect and love every one he knew 🤗

Sorry to hear about your Dad my thoughts and prays are with you and your family

Even though we're all mostly distant from you geographically, we're family, as electricians and linemen, bro. Appreciate you taking us into your work environments and sharing your experiences and knowledge with us. As always, keep safe, continue to do well and last, but not least, condolences to you and yours on the passing if your Dad. Keep the fire in the wire ✊️

I'm sorry for you loss. I hope your dad rests in peace knowing he raised a terrific young man.

So sorry for your loss of your dad my condolences to you may he rest in peace

This is something I really try to impress on anyone with zero electrical background. Those arcs can do the exact same eye damage as the arc from a welder. The amount of IR and UV light put out by those arcs can cause retinal and corneal burns. It's plenty fine to point a camera at them as they don't damage electronic eyes, but never look directly at them with your own eyes. You are correct even the heaviest tinted safety or sunglasses will not protect your eyes from the arc only a welding mask will provide adequate protection for your eyes from arcs.

I don't know why these videos keep getting recommended to me, but as someone who lives in a VERY tree-torn prone area in the midwest of the US, I appreciate just how much transparency this provides to what you have to do when weather knocks out power, makes me understand even more why it may take a while to get electricity back on after a substantial outage in a region

Man, I really enjoy your videos. As a residential electrician, it's super awesome to see what happens on the other side of the meter :) thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Always appreciated what yall did, but it's still really interesting to see it all unfold. We haven't had a snow like that where I'm from since the mid 90s lol!

That a great video of what you do during a winter storm. the work lights on your trucks are great ! I am in Boston ,NY, USA. we has quite a winter as well. 2 major snow storms and a ICE storm. some times the weather is so bad you have to stand buy. what happened hear 80 MPH wind in Blizzard. so much came down in snow and power lines. took a few days to get everyone back on. We even lost a feed to substation . that a lot of costumers out. I think we had linemen from Canada come across the piece bridge to help us out. Big THANK YOU for all who helped us out. Our local fire and Police are very good hear to. I see costumers bring coffee out to workers quite often. every one helps out. That how we get threw it.

That driving in the Storm makes me wanna go log rd cruising/rallying.......haa

All that in one night. Here in Michigan, one flicker of the lights and we start scrambling to prepare for the stone age that will be the next week or two.

Sorry about your pops brother, hope you and the family are doing alright.

Best lineman youtuber ever, greetings from Sweden. May your pops rest in peace.
