One Mistake... Almost Ended Badly

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The creator, joined by his friend Frankie, discusses the necessity of removing the lake docks during winter to prevent ice and snowmobiles from damaging them. Two dock sections are visible on the shore. He and Frankie manually position and push the first long dock section into the lake. While pushing, the creator slips and experiences a sharp pain in his back, noting that 'something snapped.' Despite the injury, they continue to maneuver the first dock section into place.

Goal: Position and install the first lake dock section.

Tools and materials

  • Lake Dock Section — The primary component being installed
  • Work Boots Brunt — Foot protection and traction, though in this case, a slip still occurred

What they say

broke the camel's back. Okay, we got some work to do. Frankie, the property looked awesome, by the way. So, um we got to push both docks in. For you guys that live in the South, we have to pull docks in the winter up here cuz the ice will rip them out if we don't. >> Or your snowmobilers will hit them. You know, if there's snowmobilers in the lake. >> Yeah. So, we got the impact. >> I think we believe it's in here. >> Okay. All right. So, we we this one we can just push push out, right? Cuz we didn't do anything with it. >> Nope. >> So, we should be able to just push it straight out. >> Uh if you're going to line it up with the cabin, maybe we might Ah, that's pretty close. >> I don't know. What do we really got to line it up with the cabin? We just want to create that central area swim area. So, did we yank that one over at all? >> That one I just pulled straight out. >> And this one? >> Well, you can see where they were cuz they're dead. Grass is dead from where they sat last year. You know, that one sat there and the other one Yeah. Same spot we could put them. Cuz that was a pretty good setup last year. >> That's fine. Works for me. Let's do it. When I was pushing that dock in with Frankie, my foot slipped and something snapped in my back. But like every blue-collar man out there, you don't pay any attention to it and you just keep going. It's weird, you guys. It's that little slip that just ripped something in my back. We might as well get the machine because we got to use it on the other one. I'm sure of that. >> You want to push with the UTV? >> Yeah, cuz we can put that right in the bucket and kind of >> You want to use the loader or the UTV? >> No. >> Imagine that. >> it then. >> An equipment operator wanting to cheat. All right, you guys. Here's something that you don't normally see me do, and that's putting a sponsored segment in my videos. And I get hit up probably 10, 15 times almost per day at from different companies asking me to do this. And I just say no unless I'm really comfortable and familiar with the product. And Brunt asked me to do a sponsored segment in this, and I'm like, "Well, sure, because I'm actually a Brunt fan. I actually wear Brunt boots." In fact, this is the boot that I typically wear 90% of the time. This is the old man slip-on style boot. You probably you guys probably aren't going to like these. I love…
