  • The first job was a Kia sport age pulling a small trailer that became stuck in the sand out at Sand Hollow State Park.
    Because it wasn’t stuck too bad, it was fairly easy to get them out on solid ground.
    The second job was 130 miles away from the shop out on the Arizona strip in a place called White pocket.
    The customer had become stuck in sand in a very remote area without good cell coverage.
    She did manage to get a text out with her GPS coordinates so we were able to pinpoint her location.
    After driving for several hours, we were able to find the customer and get them safely back to their motel.
    The third job was a Chevy Silverado that have become stuck at Sand Hollow State Park.
    Even though the truck was practically sitting on the frame, we were able to get a good tug on it, and pull them to safety.

    Way back in '79 or '80 I was towing an old Dodge Army truck behind a '73 Land Cruiser. Bad idea. We rolled the LC on the highway just outside of Hurricane. Matt's predecessor hauled us back to his yard, then set us up with a place to stay till my brother came from Cali to take us home. Pretty much everybody in town knew what happened and took care of us. (It was really a small town then.) Good to see that small town friendliness and hospitality is still alive and well in Hurricane. Thanks Matt for these entertaining and uplifting videos.

      back in the mid 90s, my dad and I were towing a small travel trailer up towards Cedar City. Blew a U-joint on the driveshaft and someone offered to stop at the first mechanic and call us a tow (what did we do before cell phones!!) and an hour or so later, a truck from Condie's towing showed up to get us. Picked up the truck and trailer all in one go with his old wheel lift truck and hauled us back into St. George. I don't remember if his shop did the repair or if he dropped us somewhere else, but the same day, they grabbed a driveshaft out of the yard, installed a new yoke and U-joint and had us on the way.
      No idea if they're still in business or not but really great people who even let a young me play on the Nintendo in the back office.

      There's not much to latch onto on those CUVs. I stopped to help a lady out the other day and her little Jeep Liberty or whatever had no trailer hitch in the rear and no tow hooks up front. Unless you have pro gear, like those J hooks on a chain, you could cause a lot of damage if you don't know what you're doing and hook up where you shouldn't. That Kia in the first segment would have been an easy pull out from the rear, since he has a receiver. That little Runaway mini camper could have easily been rotated 90 degrees by hand and pulled out. Then the Kia could have been pulled out from the rear. I could have easily done it with my tow strap.

      There was nothing to tie a strap too. Most people don’t go out with tow truck recovery hooks, just straps that loop onto tow hooks or hitches. Most people are willing to help but if there’s nothing on the car to hook up to then most can’t help. This is the price you pay when you off-road in a vehicle that has no business being off road.

    Back in the 1980's I lived for several seasons in that little house where you rescued that poor lost lady. I wish you would have been there in the daylight, I would have loved to see the place again. It was a 100 section (100 sq miles) ranch in those days. Lots of adventures I could relate. We would go to white pockets for sunday afternoons. No one went there in those days, there was no parking lot or fence. I went back a few years ago, the house was the same at big sink, many corals and flea dips were all fallen down. Seen the old brand XX (x-diamond-x) on a fence board, the place where my brother lost his toe and my name still carved in the sandstone at poverty, which is nothing but the barn where my dad was attacked by a mountain lion. Yes, lots of memories. I love your channel Matt. I found it several months ago and enjoyed seeing the scenery. Now I love to also see you and Jamie, Randy, Ed and Lizzy and everyone else like family. Its a great way to escape the gray gloom of Seattle, an escape I look forward to. Thanks for all your hard work producing these videos.

The easy tow for the people in the sand right off a main road is probably cheap (relatively speaking). I'm sure the Explorer 1 was expensive since he had to trailer the Yellow Banana, then drive her to her hotel and then home again. 2 guys, 2 vehicles, gas and hours of time. I'd guess close to $1,500 for everything.
