I use my jeep to recover vehicles and pick trash from the woods i am disabled 6 leg surgeries and still collect enough trash to fill a few pickup trucks a year. I have no funding but still do my part to keep our forests prestine!! TY for helping the rest of us out who clean up
I drove wreckers for 12 years. Other than seeing a couple of your guy’s not having. Some cable awareness and standing behind the car. You guy’s did a good job.
Yep. Apparently they don't remember or know what that cable will do to a human body. Actually that recovery wasn't a super challenge. Guess they've never seen " highway to hell" tv
"No vehicle could possibly drive up that creek." Well hell, now I'm expecting Ed from Matt's Off Road Recovery to come cruising up the creek in a primer gray stock El Camino to ask what you guys are doing.
I’ve done a bit of winching and what we’ve done before with that size of load is thread the winch line through a tire or two so if the line does break the tire will grab the wire rope and stop the recoil. Maybe some said it earlier in these comments.
If its a really long line, Ive tied a couple of towels to it as well so if it whips out of the tyre the towel slows it down massively cos retarding force as a result of air resistance increases with velocity and a towel creates a lot of air resistance
Me being a tow truck driver that was awesome!! I’ve done some crazy recovery’s on vehicles that went down cliffs but that just looked effortless!! Nice job Heavy D!!!
Being someone who works for a tow company, I laugh at others pain and misery doing difficult recovery's. Then I remember I have done these and I empathize with their pain.
Wow you guys are amazing❤ my husband droved wrecker and did some amazing recoverys here in newfoundland canada for 19 years before he got cancer. It was his life.he misses it like crazy. Love watching you guys.
It's fake, it's no different. That car was way to clean for going down that hill. Damage was from an accident. I'll bet I can find this vehicle in a salvage auction.
Getting close to 750K! That is impressive man! It is just a testament to your content and more importantly, your character. All of your shop personnel are stand up dudes! Thank you for what you do for our great state of Utah! Sparks for Mayor!
Great Job guys! Hell of a team! Wish there were more people trying to keep of Country clean like this! But every little bit helps and counts! Thank You!
Add some outriggers to the boom for heavy lifting, from boom to the ground with a heavy chain across the bottom between the ground pads on the bottom of the outriggers poles. You can have the poles be adjustable for height and just pin to the boom at top.
Nope-Because their can only be one boss and Matt will not play second fiddle to no one Nor will the other guys on This crew. Both team's do not want to be the number 2 guy.

Born in the bush on a stone fruit orchard in Australia Northern new south Wales. Always kept everything clean we had a workshop plenty of tools plenty of parts and supplies and fuel and done our maintained during the off season. Helped our neighbours when we could. I still today keep everything clean and recycle.
Enjoy the vids. Recovery went pretty smooth. You guys might want to address the end of the winch cable though, sooner or later it'll cause a problem, needs a thimble and preferably a splice, but definitely, a thimble and three wire rope clamps. I've rigged a lot of stuff over the years, and cable ends are usually what lets go. IMHO.
I have to say, you and your team are able to go far beyond what most people can accomplish given the equipment you are working with. Most companies would be out there with their 25 ton or 50 ton wrecker to do what you just did with your 5 ton. Love your videos. You also have a knack for making your narration interesting and fun to watch. Great job.
I love your channel I binged watched all your episodes keep up the good honest work not to many people around like you and your crew thanks much love and appreciate everything you do for our land once again thank you to you and your crew.

‘The cable stores energy’ old mate walking directly behind the car is waiting to see if he can catch that energy should the cable break and bottle it and start a company.
That looked like a fun one! We just did a pretty gnarly recovery of a Dodge Journey at the bottom of a steep pipeline road up 9 mile canyon! We ended up connecting two RZRs together to pull it up the hill! Recoveries are fun! 🤘🏼

@Jay AR Stolen or not, it's in way too nice of condition have been there a year. Not covered in fallen leaves, no rust or tarnish, tires fully inflated
There’s rust on the hood, on the front bumper steel where it’s been hit, and paint knocked off.Corrosion in some undercarriage. Been there long enough for that to happen. This is high country, semi arid a lot of the year, it’s been snowed on all winter, snow naturally cleans a vehicle pretty well. No fresh tracks, so they’ve been washed away. Besides, why would he say it’s been there at least 6 months or longer if it hasn’t? Doesn’t make the video any more interesting if it’s been wrecked 1 year or 1 day.
I know this is old news now but I am still watching lol and I believe (even though it happens a lot) no big issues with this recovery. You got this! Be safe Brother :)

Thank you guys soooo much for these videos and a HUGE, THANK YOU!!!, for sharing yourselves and the recoveries with us!!! From my heart, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! 🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘
That's why I think this was a "Shit, I owe too much and I can't pay it off." abandon job. 1. Only the radio got taken. Thieves would have take a lot more. 2. All the doors are locked, but the window is busted. Thieves wouldn't have bothered 3. I didn't see the airbags deploy, so it wasn't ON when it went for a roll. (I could be wrong on this point.)
Its such a blessing that you guys did the recovery for no monies. I would like to see more tow truck companies do more charity work for our home state. Always happy to see people in my hometown do greater than what's expected!
"we're hobbyists" yeah, I can tell from the extreme disregard for cable safety. "We're being extra cautious because cables store a lot of energy" *guy walks 5ft alongside cable under load*
Hey guys I just started watching your channel, LOL you guys are awesome. I am at C-5 quadriplegic and before I got hurt this was the condo and stuff I used to like to do, of course none on the scale of you guys! But I love watching you guys thank you!
When you have seen a cable break, you will not be anywhere in the radius that it could take when it gets loose. The one that I saw was just like this except the front wheels of the wrecker were in the air when the cable broke. The cable was like a whip being cracked and it came up over a hill, flew over the truck and took out some utility lines across the street in front of the wrecker. I was standing off to one side looking at it from about 75 feet away. It was like it happened in slow motion, a loud snap, the truck crashing down and the wiplash of the cable as it flew by knocking the phone lines down across the street.
@@FastLaneLyfe Maybe it was stolen, maybe the owner was doing something stupid and it ended up rolling down that steep hill with no one in it. The owner had a nice radio in it, so he went down took the radio, locked the doors and took the keys. Then reported it stolen. Maybe something similar, or I'm completely wrong.
I'm glad you were ask to recover this SUV from a nice creek. I won't want to be in that SUV while it went for that ride. Yep, it's nice and hidden from view. Smooth tow
You guys should check out Matt's Offroad Recovery on youtube. Along with rescues and recoveries in the Utah area, Matt and his crew built a custom Corvair 4x4 recovery vehicle!. 🇺🇲 👍
That was very impressive! I have an M816 as well, but I've always been afraid to use the 100 ton winch in the back, that thing is too big for me. I've used the winch in the front, it has a sheer pin in the drive shaft and the sheer pin will break before the cable snaps. Once I broke the cable under load and it fell straight down, it did not whip like some people fear, because it does not stretch.

Their cable awareness was awful especially after he says something about it the next clip is 4 people standing next to it.
When they first started pulling it, there was a guy standing like 30 feet down hill of it. That’s definitely not a location I’d be standing at!
Yeah their positioning around the cable had me nope’ing
