    A lot of us DO realise the amount of time and the hours that you put in to make these videos Paul and we really appreciate the effort you put into them. Nice job getting those people and vehicles out of that slippery situation. What all of you do and film, make for a very enjoyable time for us out here. Some of us have spent a lot of time 'offroad' so we can easily relate to the situations people can get into. We've probably been there ourselves a time or two, so thanks for the video and all of them.

My first exposure to 4 wheel drive vehicles was when I was a teenager and I went with my dad in his International Carryall to go rescue a bunch of vehicles stuck on a muddy road trying to leave a summer camp in the mountains of NM. I think we pulled out 6 or 7 vehicles that day. The first time he intentionally drove through and across the bar ditch I was sold, and have owned a bunch of 4x4s since then.

My grandfather had a 72 GMC pickup that we "picked up," hauled, and pulled all sorts of things with. We pulled up stumps, old fence posts, pulled the cattle trailer, hauled firewood, cattle feed, fertilizer, and all sorts of stuff; that thing would do whatever we needed it to.

    I love the 4 light square body swb step sides. GMC should bring back a retro version. Nice job!

    I really appreciate y'all uploading a educational video. Learning about navigating on treacherous muddy roads and not sliding off the side of the hill/mountain

    Great job in some slimy mud. Calm, cool and collected. You make it look easy when it was far from that.
