I'm old school Tow truck driver and owner. Nice to see one person who know how to use a sling. Most driver now days don't even know what a sling is. Other than know how to use it. You're a 100% right in all you did to hook up the sling and you are 100% on known what you're talking about. Keep up the good work.
I don't comment to help the algorithm, I comment because I believe in what Casey is doing and support him in the only way that I can because I cannot afford to buy merchandise because of being financially strapped with my wife's medical bills.
A long time ago we had a concrete truck with a rock stuck between the first set of rear wheels. The driver was trying to hit the rock loose. He had no luck. I went over to him and said do you want me to get the rock out? He said yes, I took a chain went over the top of rock and placed the hook to the chain. The other end of chain and put behind his front tire on the ground and laid excess next to chain on the ground. I told him to back up. The front tire ran over the chain on the ground and pinned it to the ground and when chain tightened up it pulled the rock out.
Your talk about creating a toll booth in the middle of nowhere, got me remembering the scene in Blazing Saddles. "Somebody go back to town and get a fist full of dimes". 😆
Did I just watch a 46 minute and 20 second infomercial for Yankum Ropes and Soft Shackles. I like it. Best infomercial ever. Casey and Allen Well done.
It's still nice to see the little tow truck come out to play. It's been a long time since the last time we saw your little tow truck out to do some work. With that flat tire, I bet this is the last time we'll see it.
Casey is 100% right. I was towing vehicles 50 yrs ago with a tow truck similar to the one in the video. The straps carry the load and the chains are just there for safety so they should be a bit loose.
Amazing--I got here within minutes of this being posted and only 6 comments. I find myself wondering why would someone steal this kind of vehicle, drive it to an isolated place to abandon it? A disgruntled employee? Or a teen joyrider? No matter the circumstances, with Casey, it's always fun, entertaining, and educational, as well as scenic. A very nice excursion.
@@simonbremner2707Yep, the quick easy stuff to sell that people don't ask too many questions about. One of the tool boxes was swinging open as they towed. I'd bet the lock is broken.
Watching this video brings two quotes to mind. "Gimme 40 acres to turn this rig around" old song and "a roll back on a dirt road" from the other Casey. Love the views and the varied adventures you share. Hello Allen! Thanks Casey!
I like your honesty and that you explain how come you do what you do with the equipment you use. I’m not a truck driver so when you explain things, I enjoy watching much better because I learn something. I also love the history, nature, and scenic information you show.😊
I have one of those shirts and I stopped by Alan’s both at expo while wearing I hate Casey LaDelle shirt and was told you were out doing this recovery 😂
Thanks for stopping and reading the history boards and sharing cool stuff with us, Casey! It really adds to the video and that's cool! Also: always happy to see the wrecker out and about. So many times I ALMOST stopped at AA to ask if they wanted to sell it because it's a cool rig. Hope to keep seeing it and that if you ever get rid of it that it goes to a good home where we can keep seeing it. Maybe some day I'll have one like. ❤
I’m glad you explained this because when I was taught how to hook up my sling I was taught the way that has the chains tight! I watched older videos of yours and seen that you kept em loose so ever since I swapped my rubber I have been doing it your way and it doesn’t tear up any bumpers fyi I been towing for like 5 years
The live video idea is actually brilliant! Id probably do it in a more controlable environment though like when you were playing with tipping over the school buss
So Wise , Thank You for the Beautiful scenery . Thank You for giving Allen an excuse to get out of the shop. Thank You for the fine history lesson. As a point i thought that you generally unhooked the drive shaft. A fine Video ,fine scenery and a fine Yankum comercial
I think you should do a livestream recovery where your viewers instruct you how to do it. start by showing a pic of the vehicle you need to recover, let viewers tell you which truck to use, then when you get there how you should hook to it, whether to pull it out forward or backward, whether to remove the driveshaft, etc. It would be interesting to see how the internet "experts" do.
I am so much enjoying your videos. Having lived in Central Oregon for 15 years, I love watching these videos.....I can even smell the sweetness of the Central Oregon juniper and pine forests!!!
Love you, and my brother-in-law has the same condition you do. He's quite a bit older but eats what he wants and plays golf like an expert as he always did. So continue on your doing great. love watching your videos.
Im blown away by the MD of a company out with a customer/affiliate and seeing first hand how his products behave in the wild. He also admitted his products are expensive but but here is a cheep sacrificial sleeve to prolong the life of the soft shackle. I don't know Alan, but he doesn't seem to be money crazy. Use the cheep sleeve so you don't have to buy another expensive piece of equipment from him, just another cheep sleeve. You can see why so many off roading RUclipsrs like to hang out with him.
Nice recovery brother. That truck is now at Co-Part in Eugene. I work for Crocket Interstate & Recovery in the valley, we hauled it over the mountain yesterday. Been really busy with the low boy hauling high dollar motor coaches off the mountain. For some reason there is quite a few breaking down this happy camper season.
Considering what happened to the truck's steering wheel and the cabinet doors being messed up, the tree service company decided to let it go to buy a new truck.
Man Casey, you missed a great opportunity for content. Where you parked the rollback, Skylight cave was only about a quarter mile down the road.. really cool lava tube that’s definitely worth stopping at
okay i will make a comment lol being in ontario canada most of my recovery are done with recovery straps 2-3-4” but when it comes to heavy i always use grade 70 chains because of the number of failures i’ve had with straps i have much respect for All and the yank um ropes and i appreciate his comments
Love your side tracks featuring Oregon. My grandmother came to Oregon in a covered wagon at age six and her family settled in the NE logging communities. My grandfather had ancestry that is buried in the first formal graveyard in the Oregon Territory in what is now Washougal WA. By the way, love your sense of humor.
I think you should pull the roll back with the Zac lift. The roll back needs to have one of your pickups on it all while towing the small wrecker with a vehicle hooked to it.
I got a comment if I may, I use to pull frames on a frame machine, and I would put a towel on top of the cable, then the cable would go in a down ward motion, and lesser snap.😮 But the yank rope is very cooler, from Michigan. 😊
Unbelievable, you are so towing savvy. This, my friend, is your calling . May all your services prosper as their vehicles are in good professional hands, We are all safe on the road with your expertise and safety considerations. Congratulations and happy 4th. Mark
I feel like having this job would actually be really fulfilling... Going to new places, encountering and overcoming new problems... Yeah, I can see it's challenging (I have watched several of his videos), but the sense of accomplishing what they do... I just love it...
I have found that it is best to Work With Nature. When the bumblebee got stuck in the corner, it was trying to get back to The Light. If you had thrown a jacket or floormat love the window, it would have likely found the open door, the closest and brightest light source. This works when a bird gets caught in a garage, black out the windows, and leave the door open. Their instincts are to fly Up and to the light. They will go down if you darken the garage and leave them alone.
What would now be REALLY cool is if you had a Yankum V-Bridle with T & R Hooks and a Mini J on each end to utilize the correct T-Slot Tow Points on vehicles like that one has in the frame rails!!! Very cool place to be working, the scenery is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for showing the Oregon Historical Marker. I now have another place to go visit. If you haven't ever stopped and checked out the interuprative center at Fish lake it is worth a vist. I tells about another sectio of the Santiam Wagon Road and the USFS Remount Station next to Fish Lake. Showing the historical stuff is just another reason to watch your channel. Thank you Casey!
Casey, can you take us on a summer trek to Fish Lake to see these sites? Great video as always. Thank you! Sorry about the flat tire and Happy Independence Day!
Thank you for calling a binder it's proper name. Here in the Midwest they call them boomers. Being from the West Coast myself and hauling logs for a few years, I know the correct terminology for "boomer chains" and binders. I get into discussions/arguments all the time with native Missourians. Love your channel. Keep up the good works that you do for others.
It must be a regional thing, in my memory they were always called "binders." I have heard people refer to the use of a binder as "boom it down" (that is, tie down a load. Tight to the point of near damage, usually). Missouri, at one time thought of as "a catch basin for everything running loose," can be as varied in people, methods, and language, (not to mention hospitality or insularity) as it's topography.
@@randyc4959 That’s right Randy. The phrase “boom it down” that you referred to, came from what we called “boomer chains” in logging. That’s what we belly wrapped the logs with so they couldn’t try to roll.
That Was Cool & That Really Did Show Just How Good & Safe That Roap Really Is & There Are Alot Of Times You Could Nead To Drag Something Up A Hill Or Something & Not Trust A Chain Not To Break at The Worst Time Ever, Great Stuff !!!!!
One long "Infomercial brought to you by Casey, Alan and Yankum ropes. When you absolutely have to tie it up, pull it or simply, drag it. Yankum ropes..... Cha-Ching.
I think I speak for a lot of people here when I say there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just two good people working to put food on their tables while entertaining us.
Another with Casey and some history thrown in. Good recovery with Alan along to talk products and how to use them. Should have removed that rock from between the dually.
I'm still waiting for Casey to turn the Western Star into a track jeep. I know the thought has definitely bounced around in the back of his mind by now; it's only a matter of time.
You are correct about the sling. I drove a tow truck for a couple years after high school. It wasn't 4x4 but similar. Of course back then, most cars had steel bumpers and RWD!
It's funny to hear someone say that from my perspective. Those things are always the biggest pieces of trash on the road when you see the odd one that still survives, but 30 years of salt is pretty hard on them.
I love your vids! The scenery is amazing. I'm a 3/4 century old and now know how to use a Snatch block, soft shackle, Yankum Ropes, a sling tow, and the other thingys that you run under the tires for a tow! I don't think I'll ever be in a situation to any of this but man can I supervise now!
I bet Alan loved seeing the shackle and sleave being used out in the field and under normal use so to speak. Can test as much as you like in a lab, real world testing and not just for advertisement must be satisfying and encouraging for him to keep innovating further products that will literally save lives of tow operators like yourself along with offroad enthusiasts. Keep up the good work Casey, enjoying the videos fella.

Comment
I don't comment to help the algorithm, I comment because I believe in what Casey is doing and support him in the only way that I can because I cannot afford to buy merchandise because of being financially strapped with my wife's medical bills.
$6 in 1896 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $224.34 today, an increase of $218.34 over 128 years.
Basically like the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Sounds about right I found $236
Percentage increase ??.
Imagine if it was in silver or gold coins?
In the 1860's when the road was built, $6 would be equivalent to $227.04.
A long time ago we had a concrete truck with a rock stuck between the first set of rear wheels. The driver was trying to hit the rock loose. He had no luck.

Remember your vehicles offroad capabilities are directly proportional to how much you care about it
Surely inversely proportional. The more you care, the less you are willing to put it in harms way
It's also proportional to your driving abilities
Very True 😂👍🏻🫣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@inquisitivemind2465 And what is needed
My 85 dodge charger had more than a few off road incidents
Casey's show has always been my favorite. His thinking methods along with his friends. The Historical parts were just gravy on top.
Your talk about creating a toll booth in the middle of nowhere, got me remembering the scene in Blazing Saddles. "Somebody go back to town and get a fist full of dimes". 😆
It's a whole shit load of dimes.
That was an awesome movie
that was the movie this week at Harkin's Tuesday Night Classic. It was awesome, as always.
@@fourhillsfarmI came here to say that I remembered the quote differently but that the g-rated version works as well.
Here's a tip: When you pull out your rope from the sheath to inspect it, pull a paracord in with it so you can pull it back through easily.
Great idea!
Did I just watch a 46 minute and 20 second infomercial for Yankum Ropes and Soft Shackles. I like it. Best infomercial ever. Casey and Allen Well done.
I'm a chevy guy, but I gotta say I LOVE that old ford wrecker. 👌
Pretty cool of Allen to join you. Seems like a likeable dude.
He got roped in?
@@PaulBarwicki think he was yanked in..
He got "synthetic " roped in!!😅😅😅

the last time I remember it and it's been awhile is that van
He has a plan for everything he owns. Pretty cool.
The little puffs of air each time the rock hit the ground were...amusing. To me watching from home anyway.
I think the best part of your work is the scenic countryside
Casey is 100% right. I was towing vehicles 50 yrs ago with a tow truck similar to the one in the video. The straps

Was probably loaded with chainsaws and tools etc. Thats why most tradie and farm vehicles get stolen here in Australia.
Insurance fraud by the owner?

Leaving Alan in the woods while driving off - Classic!
And a fun time was had by all, even with the Yankum sales pitch! Allen is a great personality to have along, no matter whose channel!!!

Sometimes, the best tool for the job is actually 2 tools. Love the combo of the rollback and the little wrecker to get the job done.
I love when you share the history of the places you go. Thanks.
I have one of those shirts and I stopped by Alan’s both at expo while wearing I hate Casey LaDelle shirt and was told you were out doing this recovery 😂
More times then not I learn something new every time I watch one of Casey’s videos
Thats why its call a sling rig, 20,000 lbs, chains are a safty addition. I used to drive a HOMES 440 rig,
