    Today we attempt to get not one........but two trucks unstuck from a dry lake bed out in Lake Powell. Be cautious when thinking about driving through a dry lake because looks can be deceiving. Sometimes they aren't so dry!

    Best line of the video.
    Michelle: "How was Dad as an instructor?"
    Landon: "OK, if you can read his mind sometimes."

    😂 I love u guys. It was great seeing y'all working together as a family. One of the most profound statements I've ever came across as a retired Pastor is "MORE IS CAUGHT THAN TAUGHT" Those working and living with you 2 are learning more than you could ever teach. Thanks for being real.........not perfect.....just y'all.

    I’m the same way Paul, I expect everyone to be on the same page but I’ve realized sometimes people aren’t even reading the same book. Good stuff. Last time I tried to visit everyone was gone getting the golden nugget out of the forest, I’ll try again next month.

    @jamesbigham9036 2 года назад

    This was definitely a fun video in my opinion teaching Landon the ropes at an early age from what I have seen he is doing really good so far.
    Learning from Paul is one of the best ways to learn with the experience that he has
    I respect how the entire family is part of the channel and recoveries that is a good thing to see.
    Keep up the great work everyone

    Where Fab Rats pulled both vehicles out was under water a year ago. I camped at lone rock and boated around it. This is so sad for an amazing lake. A couple miles from Lone rock is Blue pool wash. A wonder slot canyon. Thanks for getting those folks out.

    The FJ, seems to have the sound of more power since you dit the motor swap! Looks totally Bad "A" out there! Y'all are the stuff of legend! Looked easy but I know how it could have been. I've been stuck in peanut butter mud in my Cherokee and dug for hours trying to get out. Had to give up and text for a pull out. Once dark fell my impetus to lay and dig out with the folding military shovel went away as the gator tracks in the mud not far away told me laying on a tarp digging wasn't smart after dark! Lol
