Think what you may of those Pakistani dudes, but I can tell you I've spent what amounts to hours (maybe even days) watching them.  They're impressive.

What do you think guys like George Racho, or Booty would think of those Pakis?

Im not familiar with this Pakistani stuff you speak of.  My guess is it is probably scary to watch, and primitive as can be based on the comments.

My guess ????   " how do I get a couple of them here to work ?"

Back in the 80's and 90's my Polish cousin, ran his whole demolition company with Illegal Polacks. He was giving them like 100 a day and they worked here for a couple of years living cheap, and then go back to Poland with 50 or 100K saved up. From what they told me American Dollars went a long way in Poland, and if you had 50 or 100k in US Dollars you were a very wealthy man

Seriously. I think you'd enjoy watching them. It really is a good escape from political BS and all that nonsense.

Here is a great free book on Lead acid batteries. It's old old like 1920. Goes over all the rebuilding and repair

Close to me here in Throop Pa. there was Marjol Battery. It ended up a Superfund site. I hauled into it in the late '80s.  You pulled into a lot, dumped and then went to the truck wash. Guys in suits washed the truck off and you were under NO circumstances to get out of the truck. Several of the local guys from there developed health issuses and have since passed away.  Who knows, maybe 40 or 50 years there'll be superfund sites in Pakistan.

I delivered trailer mounted equipment to the Lipari Landfill down in Pittman NJ. Same deal, I couldn't set foot on the ground even to drop and hook. And they washed my tractor before I left. That was a big superfund site. The town of Pittman had a big cancer cluster in the 70's. If I remember right there was a lake there and the stuff got in the lake that people swam and fished in

You see stuff like this, and realize we have become the world's biggest sissies. When you see them in some of the other videos and they are breaking equipment, it isn't because they are stupid, it's because the money is so big, that it just isn't that big of deal

3 load straps and a tarp..  Yeah thats good enough to hold this locomotive..  I love it.  I have been holding back a thought ive had for years.  Not to offend but to shed light. 

Here in the U.S. we have become wimpy when it comes to getting a job done.  Too many rules put in place as substitutes for common sense, and too many hungry lawyers looking for top dollar in law suits. I will be going through an assortment of safety trainings with my city this spring and i know half of it is B.S. Just CYA crap.  I know that if I was to put on all the gear for confined spaces entry, i would not be able to fit through the hole in some cases, and also my visibility is compromised because i cant see my perifrial's.  Anyway..  im likin the videos

i think 99% of pakistan is already a superfund site.... they just do not have an epa there to declare the country as one. 

have you ever watched any of the ship breaker videos? pakistan is one of the largest ship breakers
