From a Canadian Heli pilot to another pilot. Best thing for deicing is warm windshield washer fluid in a sprayer it will not refreeze. Please don’t ever take a tiger torch to your blades the heat will make them delaminate. Fly safe

Hey Dave!!!!... you need to get some blade sleeves for the next time you're going to be in freezing weather!! Worked for an air medical company, and our heli always had the sleeves on board during the winter months just in case the crew ran into inclement non-flyable weather.. Crew could set her down, put the sleeves on the blades and when weather cleared, they could remove the sleeves and head back to the hanger.. !!!!STAY FROSTY!!!!

I am an aircraft deicing technician up here in Ottawa, Canada and Type 1 deicing fluid will clean that ice and snow off very quickly with no damage to your equipment. I have deiced a lot of Dash 8 props and not sure the pilot would like to see us come out with a blow torch...unique idea. PS, -35C/-31F here right now, that would make Ottawa the coldest capital city on the planet.

If I were a kid watching this video , I’d know what I wanted to be when I grew up! A badass pilot with mechanic skills ... Your a rare find my friend. Loved every second of this video

this guy has the most random equipment, I swear he has a tool for everything.

Nice video! As a former helicopter engineer in the German Navy I really appreciate you left the "Balkenkreuz" on the tail cone. I love that some of the German Army BO 105 are still in flying condition and that you take good care of your nice little helicopter! Best wishes to you and your team.

Best and easiest way to defrost anything that’s parked outside, like cars, trucks or the occasional helicopter, is a large quick-up tent placed over the vehicle and a industrial propane heater. You’ll only need it to get to about 10-15 degrees Celsius inside and let it sit in there melting for a couple hours while you sit and drink coffee. But that wouldn’t look that good on YT😄 Regards, your average Norwegian

We have this stuff called "Winter windshield washer" here in 🇨🇦. You made this job way harder than it could have been. Take the windshield washer, warm it up, spray it on, wait, watch ice fall off, fly away. 12°F/-11°C is about our daytime high this Jan and so far it has been a mild winter. If going to fly in winter get some blade socks! Was fun to watch Americans working to hard though! 🧐 🙂🙃

As someone who lives in Cache Valley, it was nice seeing the aerial video of the mountains in our area. Gotta love the mountains around Bear Lake. Glad you explained about the new helicopter. I was curious why it was black instead of red.

This man lives the life that I’m sure most outdoors men wanna live. Helicopters, military vehicles, a ripsaw, every type of side by side/ four wheel made, just everything that a man could ever want or need! Love the videos and content!

Don't know if you know this but when your skids are buried in snow or sand bring the collective up to take off power then push the anti torque pedals left and right a few times so there is less coverage of the substance on the skids. If one skid pops out sooner than the other it may trip the helicopter on its side.

Nice you made it home safely! Delicate task, to melt all the ice out of that flying beast. Helicopters seem so finicky. Glad you get it back . Great flight views. I studied most of my youth to become a pilot, just to realise I couldn't because of my view. Instead, I've become a musician, most of my life. Had a stroke and now, almost can't play anymore. Really enjoy your recovery videos! Take care and cheers from the French Alps!

Good recovery in the ARMY we used blade covers and they were made local at a Boat Cover Shop. We also had a cover for the Front Windshield. Took about 10 minutes to cover things up with 2 people. We did it in the Field when it was snowing covered up everything and brushed the rest off. We started a Fab and everyone wanted a set.

Hey heavy D, love the content from you guys, especially love the aviation side since I’m a rotorcraft junkie my self! How about a walk around video of the new Bo-105? Or wait till you reveal the 2nd new helicopter and do a walk around of both inside and out! Either way I’ll keep watching you guys, keep up the good work, God bless y’all and your families!

A old MA-1A. Used to start jet engines but modified to use as a snow remover/anti-ice tool. First used by the air force in the late 70's.

If you guys haven't figured it out yet, the turbine (hot section) is most likely cooked from all the hot starts trying to get it to run. It was most likely used up before that which is why you couldn't get rpms out of it. So, if the pressure ratio (EPR) doesn't get high enough, it probably cuts it off. That's my best guess.

Literally my favourite YouTube channel now! Hands down some of the best blokes to watch🙂

Never thought I'd be so invested in watching two guys shovel snow for 30 minutes, but here we are...

I love the flying videos and pretty much anything about plains and helicopters thanks for making such a wide range of content its perfect for my ADHD👊🙏😎
