  • Matt, from Matt's Off Road Recovery, occasionally gives Paul a call to help with tows when they're closer to Paul's area. This family got stuck in an area in Southern Utah by Kanab. It was a pretty sandy situation! Check out to see if Paul can get them un-stuck and back on their way.

    Peekaboo trail gets them every time. Rode back there in around the same time and there were 7 vehicles stuck in the sand, digging with branches, floor mats etc. Its almost as good as watching people load boats at the boat ramp.

    • @richardjensen2769
      @richardjensen2769 2 года назад

      I wondered why my brother-in-Law headed for the boat ramp before noon on the Labor Day weekend. Then we sat and watched a kind of (Warning: Politically Incorrect!) Chinese Fire Drill go on for 2 or 3 hours. My B-in-L had towed artillery pieces in a far-away war zone for a bit. The park ranger's jaw dropped about to his knees when the wheels on that Ford spun in REVERSE and the trailer ended Perfectly Positioned for my sister to "Load Up." (She had to blip the throttle pretty hard to correct for a cross-wind, but she got the little runabout Nosed In to where I could snap onto the bow eye; and the three of us were "Outta There." Elapsed Time, 'considerably' Less than five minutes.)

      One of the best things about Paul's channel is that he runs a Toyota. So reliable. So well built. They last forever.

      Who does Matt call when he needs extra help? The Tacoma. Why would he trade that for a Heep when it does all the hard stuff just fine?

      DW much as I love the old Cherokee’s I’d take that taco over Matt’s Jeep any day if I was given the choice 😁

    CRAE CRAE how they tried to run over your rope... several times. 😳. I know it was the communication gap, but on the initial pull, if you didn’t have the ability to over power them, they would have gotten your Yankum right off the jump!

    Why don’t you or Matt keep a good portable or permanent mount air compressor with you to air up once you’re done with recovery? Or maybe a refillable small tank?
