Status up date of my drowned Bronco. I just wanted to let my viewers know where I'm currently at today.
Getting the truck safely recovered was only the first step...
The endless headaches with my insurance company, Ford Roadside Assistance and God knows what else is only beginning.
I have the week off to try and sort thru everything, but it's a total uphill battle.
That sucks!! It has to be tough having to deal with all that. But it must've been an adventure in itself. I wish you the best and speedy return.
So sorry.
Man I’ve been subscribed to your channel for awhile and been seeing those pics for a few days now. I had no idea it was your truck. Glad you are ok and have some great friends.
Great friends that I never met before in my life 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
Glad you got out okay. Clearly you found the situation sobering. Good for you. It could have been really bad. But it was not and there is no sense in beating yourself up. Couple of lessons to be learned I think.
1) Get a UTV for this stuff. They handle the water a lot better.
2) Use the bronco and an off road trailer if you want to get to out of the way places but don't be going on any bridges in the bush with a Bronco
3) The truck is a write off and some insurance companies would have told you to get stuffed. Your lucky I think unless you actually opted for offroad coverage.
4) Get a Garmin Inreach. It costs us $25 cdn for service. I don't know were you were exactly but the places I have been this summer I would figure that you would be lucky to cover 1-2km per hour walking out. 20 km into the bush means 10 to 20 hr walk over extremely tough terrain.
Glad you and the dog are safe. Cheers mahn.
I cannot imagine what you were going through and all of the emotions you were dealing with. I admire your composure and collectiveness to talk about this situation. As many have said, a Bronco can be replaced but you can’t! I am so glad you’re okay and I applaud every single person involved in the recovery efforts. You all are amazing and made this possible! 👏
Oh dude. This is heartbreaking. I have no words. Stay strong. Im glad you and the dog are ok physically.
On my financing I have full replacement coverage. Did you check into that?
Sending you a hug and tons of positive energy in a really tough situation ❤
No, no full replacement... Well, the 1st year from Ford I think is. But not my insurance. However, my 2 door appreciated over the last to year... However a NEW one is $14k more than what i paid for the same truck two years ago. 🤷
@@TLOverlander crap 😞
Yea the appreciation on them has been crazy
Again, I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Take care man.
So glad you and your sidekick are OK … too bad about the Bronco. Truly feel for you.
Most important is you and the pup! These things happen to the best of them! Come back stronger!
So sorry
Thanks for the update. Glad you are Ok.
I've been watching your channel for a while now and have always admired your heart and dedication in, and to your videos. The love and passion you have in your videos is so strong that it's almost tangible. I started to cry when you did, we all know how much you loved your rig. I know it sounds silly (especially right now) but everything happens for a reason. And while everything seems dark and cloudy right now, the sun will come out again. Please keep your head up, we're all here for you
Thanks for the kind words...
It's certainly dark and cloudy right now 😔
Glad you and your dog came out Safe… Wish you the best Man 🫶🏻
Oh man Eric. Unbelievable, I am so glad you and Lexi are safe, that is what is important.
Could of very easily been a lot worse going into that water, that's for sure.
Oh Eric, I can just see it in you how painful this entire situation has been for you. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the original post on the group an my heart sank as I knew right away it was you! I can only imagine all the emotions you have been feeling and will for the next months to come. The silver lining is you had amazing help and you and Lexi made it out safe with and incredible memory 🥰
So sorry Eric. I know that truck was your pride and joy. 😢
Thank goodness you and Lexie are ok.
Damn, that's rough. Glad you and the pup are safe. I had watched your previous video of you packing for the swisha loop, then a couple days later I saw the Facebook recovery picture of your rig and was like oh no that's the lonely overlander! Hoping for the best outcome for you man, and hope the situation doesn't dissuade you from more adventures!
Eric what an ordeal. The way everyone came together to help you is incredible.
It is an ordeal... And the other worldly generosity of everyone involved....?
I have no words. Truly beside myself ♥️
I read about this on the Bronco forum.. Again I’m so happy you and your dog are okay..
Thanks Scott... Definitely could of had a worse out come.
Dude, I can’t imagine. I am glad you and the dawg weren’t physically injured, but you come off as a bit shell-shocked, for understandable reasons. Make sure that part of you is taken care of too! Hug your dawg extra tight. I hope you’re back into a new set of wheels soon and I get to meet you on the trail. Hugs brother. Some day this will all be a wild tale around a campfire.
I saw the FB post and had no idea it was you. My deepest sympathy for your situation. I can tell that vehicle meant a lot to you. Sending prayers your way.
so glad you guys are home and safe after this, the truck can be replaced but you cant :) there will be more stories in the future just keep your head up.
Sorry man. Don’t let this incident bust your adventurous spirit. You’ll get through this… much better days ahead. Best wishes to you and Lexi moving forward. I have a car trailer and willing Chevy, let me know if I can help. 👍🏼
Glad you're safe bro.. stay strong!!
Tough situation, all the best with the outcome.
Not sure why you thought Attempting to cross a bridge that was meant for atvs on an atv trail with a brand new bronco was a good idea. I was there today, it’s completely destroyed, the trail is almost useless unless you know the area and can get around
Trail?? It's a road... De La Plage and google maps sent me down it enroute to Otter Lake. Rough? You bet, in some spots. The bridge, while narrow, was wide enough for my Bronco. I could see both front tire placement on the trail cam.
Was it a good idea to cross it? In hind sight, obviously not.
But it was also getting late, I was low on gas and I just passed a cottage, so I assumed to bridge was used by locals and safe to cross. If it wasn't, I'd expect to see signs saying as such, like I did in the days prior on this trip.
It's regretful that a local did far more damage to the bridge than we did, but me and our local club have started a fund drive to raise money to donate to the Federation des Club 4x4 du Quebec to hopefully make a better, safer crossing.
Oh man, didn't realize that was you. Glad you and the pup are safe! Keep us updated on the insurance. Truck can be replaced, not your life.
Your both safe, that is what matters!
Hugs!!! Poor Bronco!
It will all work out. People make mistakes. I see the stress but u will be ok.
Great to know you and your pup are doing good. Did you capture the ordeal on your camera’s?
There is some footage. For some reason, the 1 camera was in time-lapse mode, so 6 seconds worth 🤷
I might be able to pull usable frames from it
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I know you'll build back better. A lot of dramatic content to film, hopefully get the channel monetized so you can earn a couple of extra bucks from this tragedy.
I saw the picture floating around for a few days, then I was checking the 6g forum and saw it was you. I felt so bad. I get it. I get attached to my vehicles as well. The best news is you and pupper made it back home safely, that is most important thing. Everything else will work out. 🫂
