who would have thought back in the olden
0:08
days that there would be a television
0:10
that you could watch while you pumped
0:12
gas welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:16
remember when convenience stores tried
0:19
to do away with the
0:25
nonbiodegradable styrofoam containers
0:25
they're back they're back with a
0:26
vengeance everywhere has these things
0:28
again
0:31
I don't know where I'm going with this
0:32
it's my second channel daily Vlog
0:33
channel it's the
0:35
daily I have always been a bit of a
0:38
thrift store and flea market junkie and
0:42
no place that I spend more time in the
0:45
early to mid to late '90s
0:47
then right up here I would pull down
0:50
this very
0:51
Road and head straight into the Oola
0:55
flea and Farmers Market I think I'm
0:58
going to park right here at this dead
0:59
end
1:03
seems like a good of places any this
1:03
used to be the sign advertising the
1:06
property and now it says Western spirit
1:08
and right over there is the last store
1:11
on the premises that is currently having
1:14
a going out of business sale and also
1:18
this bar has been here for ages and it
1:21
is now abandoned as well but right over
1:23
there behind that fence was a massive
1:27
thriving flea market that I spent pretty
1:30
much every single weekend that spending
1:33
all my hard-earned dimes nickels
1:36
quarters and sometimes dollars you would
1:39
pass by this sign drive right where that
1:42
gate is now closed and pull around to
1:45
the nether regions if you will of the
1:47
flea market you would get out of your
1:49
vehicle and you would shop the countless
1:51
booths and aisles I just crashed my
1:54
drone it hit a tree lost signal I don't
1:57
know where it is but basically hit the
1:59
Branch fell to the ground it's somewhere
2:02
on this property that I am not allowed
2:05
inside of so this should be
2:13
interesting it was very difficult to
2:13
pinpoint what tree it is but I finally
2:15
found it under this tree check it
2:20
out the wreck drone right there on the
2:22
ground the problem is there's barb wire
2:27
all along here the battery fell out of
2:29
it and and it's sitting basically in a
2:31
mud puddle on its
2:33
side and look at it the battery power is
2:37
still on it's still Juiced
2:45
up I don't know if the stick is long
2:45
enough trying to get the stick down in
2:48
there to try to pull it over but my
2:50
hands are like way too big to fit
2:52
through this
2:53
hole I need a bigger stick gosh this
2:58
isn't going to work I cannot seem to
2:59
find a to break anywhere in this fence
3:01
all the way around the property plus
3:04
there's a police officer down there so
3:07
jumping this
3:09
thing onto private property probably not
3:12
the best idea but as they say where
3:13
there's a will there's a way and I will
3:16
get that thing oh yes I will looks like
3:19
someone has discarded their old
3:21
television or computer monitor right
3:23
here in the ditch look that
3:26
eagle is circling
3:30
it's saying I think I'm going to get
3:31
myself a nice new DJI Phantom 4 that
3:35
someone left out here get out of here
3:37
bird pay no attention to that downed
3:40
drone in the corner I have to find
3:42
something that I can lean over the
3:45
fence to try to grab that those ceiling
3:47
fans will not work maybe there's
3:49
something on the back side of this
3:51
abandoned bar oh wait wait a second
3:56
maybe this and holy cow look at this
3:58
it's like a cat cow or a steer or a
4:01
bullhead
4:04
skull that's freaking creepy you found
4:07
me I don't know how you found me maybe
4:10
they thought I was going to chase them
4:12
down with this
4:14
PVC pipe SL pool
4:18
que they're just driving off where are
4:21
you going help me I need your help at
4:25
first I thought it was a property owner
4:26
and I was kind of scared they were going
4:27
to be like get off my property you're
4:29
trespassing Ing and then I realized it
4:31
was someone that recognized my van just
4:33
wanting to say hi they screamed my name
4:36
said Adam I started vlogging and then
4:39
they drove
4:41
off there's the Drone and the battery
4:44
and this is basically what I came up
4:45
with a pool stick and a piece of PVC
4:48
pipe when I try to stick it over there
4:50
and grab the Drone and behind me less
4:53
than 100 yards are a few police officers
4:56
walking around I don't know why has
4:58
nothing to do with the property they're
4:59
looking for someone or something
5:02
hopefully not
5:15
me look at
5:15
this I got it now the battery is going
5:18
to be a little bit tougher to
5:21
get to get out of there there's no way I
5:24
can clamp onto it
5:31
see it's very hard to get it up over
5:31
that ledge right there I have sustained
5:34
a little bit of a a wound from this
5:37
endeavor I can't get it with the
5:39
equipment that I have I cannot reach it
5:41
I cannot grab it I cannot put my
5:43
tentacles around it and pull it through
5:44
the fence I have one other idea that
5:46
hopefully the Home Depot can help me out
5:48
with they have this thing called the
5:50
Nifty nabber it's only 3 ft long I don't
5:53
know if that's going to be long enough
5:54
but check it out I can grasp onto the
5:57
battery perhaps upon further inspection
5:59
this is not going to be long enough plus
6:02
I went back to the chain link section
6:03
and this will not fit through the chain
6:05
link holes I found something else that
6:07
might possibly work it's this long stick
6:11
with this weird metal shaped hand on the
6:13
end and Home Depot sells Halloween stuff
6:16
Halloween has taken over every
6:18
entrepreneurial business known to man
6:21
look at this guy look at this guy here
6:25
he's a pirate skeleton got all Frankie
6:29
chilling there and this crazy looking
6:31
witch with creepy fingers and look at
6:35
this there is a horse skeleton right
6:38
here that's kind of terrifying in its
6:41
own its own way and we're off we're
6:43
going back over check see if the
6:45
battery's still there and use that new
6:47
tool cross your
6:59
fingers it still there oh wait
6:59
yep there it is still down
7:16
there the problem is I can't get my hand
7:16
through the chain link fence and you can
7:18
see it's just barely Out Of Reach but I
7:21
can kind of scoop it just a little bit I
7:24
can kind of scoop underneath it but that
7:27
lip little miniature cliff right there
7:30
is a little too tall to push the battery
7:33
up over it my fingers are getting
7:35
mangled in the chain link this thing
7:37
needs to be about another 2 ft
7:40
longer there's really nothing I can like
7:42
grab onto there's nothing that the
7:43
clamps can hook onto the battery and I
7:46
can't get underneath it to pull it up
7:48
over that lip I kind of have an idea I
7:51
might take the original pole made out of
7:54
the pool que and the PVC and Slide the
7:58
battery along that little Cliff that
8:00
miniature Cliff all the way down here
8:03
where it's a little bit more accessible
8:06
and then I can use that weird fingery
8:09
metal thing to pull it up from
8:21
here I almost lost the stick that would
8:21
not have been good don't don't fall give
8:24
me that give me that
8:26
stick I think I lost the stick crap
8:35
this is not going
8:35
well come on I think I'm honestly about
8:37
to lose the stick now just hanging on by
8:40
a thread and I can't pull it close
8:43
enough to where I can grab it with this
8:45
chain link in this Barb Wire I just
8:47
don't know how to get it over any closer
8:49
they really have secured this place down
8:51
pretty good the chain link goes way into
8:53
the ground and then they got this so I
8:55
can't reach my hand through somehow I
8:57
have managed to grab the pole and lean
8:59
it up against here so I think I might
9:02
have the pole back in my possession look
9:04
at
9:05
this freaking Adventure man this is a
9:08
freaking
9:30
Adventure it took it incredible amount
9:30
of time but I have moved it from all the
9:32
way down there to right there look it is
9:35
within View and that little section that
9:38
little incline is not as steep here as
9:42
it was down there you will be mine oh
9:46
yes you will be mine
10:23
success persistence pays off my friends
10:23
that was an undertaking but success got
10:27
a little dirt all inside them but all in
10:30
all I'm pretty happy to have these guys
10:32
back welcome back fellas I got a lot of
10:36
cuts and scratches all over my arms
10:39
luckily I have these bottles of water I
10:41
can like get cleaned up a little bit but
10:42
I got another scratch here one on the
10:45
hand one on this hand one here look at
10:47
that I probably need to like put some
10:49
kind of medicine on there get that dirt
10:51
out of there before infection starts to
10:53
rear its ugly head but all in
10:56
all quite the adventure I must say I had
11:00
my doubts about getting that battery
11:04
but and now to return what I
11:14
borrowed thank you p q and PVC pipe
11:14
connected together you served me well oh
11:18
yes you served me well what happens when
11:21
you crash the Drone is the micro SD card
11:24
that's in there gets corrupt and you
11:26
can't download the file so I'm fil the
11:29
footage off my phone off the DJI app on
11:34
my DSLR and then I'll drop this footage
11:37
in the Vlog you can see I was just
11:39
creening above the flea market this is
11:41
the only way I can show it to you so
11:43
let's skim along and get to the get to
11:47
the part where I hit the tree you can
11:49
see the proximity of the crossroads
11:51
there where the flea market used to be
11:53
everything was going well until I was
11:56
going to get a really cool shot from
11:58
here and and I started to tilt it to the
12:01
left and then over to the right and
12:03
then the
12:05
tree bam and then I thought I was in the
12:08
clear nope pretty Majestic cloud back
12:11
there billowing in the
12:14
heavens and I love Florida clouds I do
12:17
not like Florida rain and thunderstorms
12:19
and
12:20
humidity but the aesthetic of the sky is
12:24
always
12:25
wonderful there it is right there
12:33
the old flea
12:33
market a lot of memories from my youth
12:36
there and now a memory from my
12:40
adulthood
12:43
that was quite a
12:45
day Vlog over
