He’s not wrong

Actually some jobs you are working around energized lines. Regardless you assume all lines could become reenergized. Once everything is isolated you still maintain your safety.

Yea 7k volts will stop your heart.

Sure wayne. We are all critical. Or maybe we see through bs and recognize some kid got handed a job by daddy and it’s insulting af to the real linemen.

There has to be some morons commenting in every video. They seem to feel it makes them important.

No it's not...

John M pay this fucker no attention.

KLM This is the guy running the job 😐

You're both shit talking losers taking his words right out of context. He made a mistake, extinguish instead of distinguish. He might be underslept, exhausted. You're both losers.

Yeah.... Nevermind all the other dumb shit he said and did... This video is fucking retarded....

@@ashfordminer2390 Actually, he said distinguish instead of extinguish. And this in no way is taking words out of context. That's exactly what he said. Yes, he made a simple mistake, just like you did. Mistakes are to be acknowledged and avoided, not have excuses made for them.

@@stargazer7644 This video is a joke. Real lineman are heroes, but they don't look or talk like this. They don't casually walk on-screen in a group when they show up. They don't stand in the middle of the street making a video when they should be opening switches after lines are down on the road. They don't pull out a piece of paper and proclaim "It shows here that IM IN CHARGE". This isn't 1980, the information about an outage (which they all have since they showed up in the right place) doesn't come on a piece of paper. They have a sense of urgency and if they're just arriving on site they're looking up at the problem and the work they need to start preparing for (while discussing it), they're getting on their radio getting work authorization, parts, additional resources and help, and they're assessing risks to safety and property, as well as assessing other damage. They don't stand there like minions awaiting commands from a dweeb with a god complex that has to tell them "it's overhead".

That's what I was thinking

@@smokum0 lmao two years later someone feels the same thing

@Donald Henson Every one working on it needs to have a lock on it. That is basic lock out tag out procedure

Yes in a perfect world everyone should have a lock however in this industry there's not always a lock so the lead puts the tag on the poles on both ends. Also before you heat anything up you call dispatch and they will aslo tell you if anyone else is work on the line

@@whitelightinggaming3737 even with that, a tag should have the name and number of the lead or foreman that locked it out on it.

Yea its like in plumbing. You only get OT when a bug storm comes and clogs up drains

Gotta love them outages... Not.. Most of the time it can wait until the morning. Especially if you have to wait on power

@@boxfox1239 God I hate those bug storms.

@@stargazer7644 here in Bayou bug storms happen to offen

Cars hitting them over here is common. People either looking at their phones, drunk or had some medical issue.

I'm actually surprised. Every seabee i talked to loved their job (until they were forced too cross rate). I just finished 5 years as a EM, did a little construction and roofing and thinking about being a lineman. What about the job is the worst? (Edit: I tried to convert to construction electrician in 2016, 23 ppl applied and 2 ppl got it in my command)

Austin Crane line work is easy more than it’s hard. Worst thing is working with dumb asses or someone that knows it all. Or working with ppl that’s there just for a check. Transmission is the way to go, that away from distribution.

Thank you sweetheart thank you 🙏🏻 well

Hmmm, I've worked cable before. Funny, I could have swore that we worked at height, in trenches and alongside power. I guess that wasn't electricity flowing through my lines to power the amps that bring your TV and Internet into your house. Hmmm, I guess I didn't read that safety bulletin about the cable installer who was killed because an electrician back fed power onto CATV causing the installer to be electrocuted. I guess those classes I took in electrical theory and engineering must have been a dream. I'd like to see you do the job. Bet you wouldn't last a day. I worked great with the power guys and they worked great with me. At least I know what channel to block from KZfaq now.

@@mikel9567 Listen here, young man. You haven’t touched or even heard of electrical equipment. Now go on and get back to your TikTok videos and your MP3s. Your generation makes me sad. Yes, I’m talking to you Mikey-boy.

HR getting a misconduct boner

Going in for a lil’ squeeze.

Linemen used to be rough guys. Pull everything with ropes. Nowadays linework is like navy seals. It isn't too hard and every big kid wants to do it. I climbed with no buck squeeze and let me tell you when you're 90 foot up, looking down with 2 spikes 1/4 inch in the pole, you lose it for a moment. One slip you're done. I slipped coming down and not falling is the only fucking thing God has done for me. I slipped on a step down and one knee jammed into my chest. Those bucksqueezes save lives, but allow some pussies to be linemen. Alot of guys wouldn't do it without bucksqueezes. I'm all for them though. A safety measure to save someone from lifelong impairment is a good thing. I think they waited so long to make them because linework was "mans" work. It's kinda like tight rope walking. Everyone'll do it if there's a safety to keep you from falling. Nobody will do it, very few, if there's no safety.

@@jonathanwillard663 You: "This safety equipment means some pussies or doing the job" Also you: "This safety equipment saves lives" Also you: "I'm all for them". You sound like a moron, nobody is a pussy because they demand standard safety equipment.

@@jonathanwillard663 Okay 🐀

@@jonathanwillard663 I work for a cable company and we dont use buck squeezes. just your regular climbing strap. I had a co-worker slip down a pole, he hugged on to the thing and boy did that pole fuck up his stomach and chest. we dont need to climb as high as power lineman, i think the highest ive climb was 40 - 50 feet high,, but after 15 feet, whos counting. thats high enough to kill. still though, it never bothered me, i feel safer strapped to the pole than on a extension ladder on a downhill line. have you ever been on a 30 foot ladder then have it slip only to have it hanging on by the tip of one strand hook? it takes nerves of steel just NOT to jump off.

@@jonathanwillard663 you’re a fucking moron. Imagine degrading someone for being safe. I’m sick of all you old school lineman calling out the new guys because they use fall protection. I have a family to go home to. I’ll be god damned if I’m going to put myself at risk of losing that. You realize being a lineman already is dangerous and they’ve come a long way to making it a safer job... the idea of fall protection just makes the job that much more safe. Quit bitching you idiot fuck.

He’s a lineman, not a public speaker 🤷‍♂️

The guy talking said dso relinquished site authority to him so I'm assuming he's in charge of this job

I think he was being sarcastic.

LOL First thing I thought of was he`s a company suck ass! I could only watch so much of this because it was starting to make me sick, as to how he is saying look at me i'm the boss and all you lowlifes are below me and need to kiss my ass if you want to keep your jobs. oh and dont forget safety first!

I would think someone would have to be a lineman before they can be a foreman?

mrpatt1983 ... exactly...comment above is ignorant..Foreman is sitting on his ass because usually he's done what the crew is doing about 1000 more times than them..lol

I’m a lineman in New York. My title is “working foreman “ I work with my guys. We are a team. I am not above my brother. I’m just a JL that writes all the paperwork and takes all the responsibility

Guys that say "ok" that much drive me crazy. Likes he's talking down to you like you're a dumbass

That's y my food got ruined, cause this guy making you tube video.

I don’t know but he does have an earring

James Lee he knows the set up and should have practice if he didn’t. If you don’t don’t something every day your not gonna be good at it. Besides, we just dumb asses doing a job nobody else will do.

Maybe there's a resistance to authority

That’s a whole different trade tho

Gary Nelson how come?

Go on...

Ok Popofab and ChrisB. Just briefly. He uses the word "I" in a "Team Event" a little too much. 2nd) once the Crew arrive, you don't dictate anything. You ALL WALK OR DRIVE the Lead or a portion of the Ckt, to make sure nothing else has broken or come down. Once in a while you'll find a smoldering body under a Line. During this ride /walk visual, WE, come up with a Plan, NOT "I"He talking to Office Folk so a lot of what he HAVE to say is not the reality. The rest is just stuff that us Lineman are laughing at when we watch this. It's not a Critique on this LineMech or the Crew. STAY SAFE MEN!!!!

Gary Nelson fuck it bruh, I’ll help ya. Ear ring, one wheel chock, no gloves running the hand line, no one checked the pole before climbing and no one checked the adjacent poles before work started. All should have been covered in the pre job briefing. And for heavens sake let the damn hoist out before u try to put it on. Put ya grip on the conductor first. Might wanna let every one know the out riggers r coming down. Didn’t barricaded the trucks so I guess they were grounded. Ok I might have missed something. I ain’t scared to call somebody out. Oh, the 7yr lead man is in charge if ya didn’t know. With the clear glasses on. Ok I’m gonna stop now. 🤣there ya go popofabulous and Chris.like he said, as a linemen this is hard to watch. Ok I’m done, no for real this time I’m done. 😂🤣. He didn’t check them rubber gloves.

@@scorpion5700 Your right,. THe guy is an ego maniac. How bout the we been doing this with block and tackle for thousands of years and that type of stuff. I mean come on man. Yeah long hrs. then gopes on to say I work 16 then go home for 8 . etc etc. Its embarrassing.. I think even some of the Bell Guys would have an issue working with this lineman.. The dude is a joke with his ego. cant work for someone like that. where its me me me me me. not we we we we. this dude is a real charm i bet to work with i bet...!!! LOL. embarrassing. But hes trying hard he probly just doesnt know how to talk to the general public without sounding like a General on the battlefield who isnt really a general..

you apply for electricity at school. then either get work as an electrician, a telephone guy, or a lineman. Depends on where you end up .

Dude. Chill. He’s a real lineman and the line is his. He’s hard money af 😂 😂

@@MadNlGER bruhh these dudes are straight newbs lol I'm sure that one guy still trying to get that wire into that sleeve with that hoist sucked all the way in😂😂

You know he was sweating his ass off when he realized he two blocked that hoist on camera

Hector Ortega no thats the manditory working hours when on storm restoration 16 on 8 off for as many days as your on Storm Restoration.

AR556NATO he’s nervous man...his boss probably made him do this video

Ok

He’s trying to dumb it down for the people. He could definitely start talking ohm’s law, amps, watts, volts, grounding, transmission, transformers, insulation, the electrical properties of metals used for wires, the purpose of step down transformers, how what he’s working on gets down to house current etc… but the presentation would be a few days long and half the people there wouldn’t understand any of it.

Hmm

I think he means that the block and tackle has been used for thousands of years to help lift heavy things, not just heavy electrical cable.

I work in plant maintenance for an isp. We’re banned from using pickles as they are all failing on us a few years later. Pretty dangerous for some guys up on their ladders hanging drops haha. We use straight preforms only now.

In line work that's all up to you really

He has his wedding ring on also, dumbass!

and ring... Ridiculous. But Hes trying hard. Hes Just not a good presenter . Its not his best job to do presentations. Though I would beleive he may be good at his job ..

Beats using a multimeter..

@Brexit Monger yeah takes big balls to stand around and watch

So try really, really hard not to get electocuted. Mm'kay?

Where else do you keep your lockout key, aren't they required to be on your person so it can't be re-energized while you're working?

There's some guy in China working on a drone with fully articulating arms thinking: _hold my beer..._

+Alex Armstrong Okay.

Ok

He could not be in the position he is in unless he had already worked as a lineman.

@@MrPatt1983 That would probably describe you. I worked my way through college as a lineman. Depending on the number of outages that guy could be a lead lineman on a job one day and up on the pole with gaffs the next. Also as a supervisor/foreman to inspect a job lineman did you have to go where the lineman was. Up a pole or down in the hole. When I graduated and worked my way to become a field engineer, on rare occasion, you where up the pole or down the hole as well. If this was the military and you saw his ribbons and badges you would know he’s worked his way up doing the job. Yes a little politics is in everything, but he’s no poser.
