Teaching the youngster how to throw the chain 😅😅

That company man would’ve been calling the floor asking what the fuck taking so long

Who the f*ck wraps the chain without the backup tongs latched on. Staged.

Green hard hat is on the wrong guy!

Decades ago we BC miners used to mock Albertan workers by doing 4 and 3 finger handshakes.

We always like break the FNG in but remember, these guys are us.

He should get a looser fitting shirt to ensure it gets caught in the chain

I’ve been there… (still have all ten fingers, luckily)

Learn to throw the chain left handed! It really works better

Easier draw works side my opinion. And hold tail with other hand so don’t get candy caned. At least made em walk up on first try. Keep it up and will get faster

Why are we still using chains?

Need to teach him when to let go 🤣

Howcome this is so primitive and dangerous system. I dont get it.

Don’t stick your hand in there! Practice makes perfect. Thing of pride to throw that chain and keep going down hole.

And they’re complaining that there aren’t three varieties of coffee in their office.

Spinning chain. Dont do it.

Good team and your effort they will not let you down.

Oilfield stronge

Geezez

I’d almost rather be doing this than sitting in the “frack van”

@jakelogan What happens if that chain doesn't tighten it all the way?

Working the floor is tough and the old school roughnecks show no mercy ...he will catch hell in the doghouse

Bro 😂

letem get his hand caught and then he will learn😆

Why is he working? The easiest way to make cash in this situation is to drop the chain and call the blue hats over.

I've never worked on a rig, but it sure seems like we'd have developed an easier/safer way to do that.

never stick your digits where you wouldn't stick your...

no cigarettes?

If the country runs out of these guys, it's over. We return to horse carts, roadside markets and the wild west. That's after most of the world's population has succumbed to starvation, civil wars and outlaws.

That face is now fucked. NFG you just created a flow path. That’s completely comprised. Do not put that in the hole.

LOL I remember the first time I threw chain, motorhand forgot to tell me to let it slip thru your hand when it tightens up and starts to spin, it pulled me I pulled my lead hand away and watched the glove I was wearing go round and round... good times

we rarely used chain like 20 years ago.
