Reds Activist are so goddamn stupid

Interested but a waste of time, volume all the way up, and still can not hear what he is trying to say!

Pull don't jerk!!!

Great Video! Well laid out and explained!!👍🏼

im semi guilty BUT.. i will never pull from any oart of the hitch when a vehicle is in to its axles/frame... that would be a winch job with proper winch rope and not wound cable.. the only time i used the ball is tipping a pickup from its side back into its wheel with no one around or chain pulling a disabled but still able to roll vehicle.. NEVER do i ever snach pull anything up to its axle.. as a mechanic ive actually seen hitches bent up or bent down and even the bar that goes in the receiver has a crack/fracture i usually end up cutting the hitch on the owner to destroy it they learn quick..

Really good info. Can’t tell you how many trucks I’ve popped out with a static rope and a trailer ball. Never again for sure. Going to invest in the proper gear.

ROPE can kill. They will go through the windshield also. Its less likely but you can't say "this won't happen again" with the right gear. But the right gear is the best you can do. Just be prepared so you're not sitting in the stuck vehicle without some kind of shield between your head and the line of fire, and a windshield is not enough protection even with the right gear. if you don't listen to that, you're going to give people a false sense of security with this video and that is dangerous.

I will not use a drop hitch that drops more than 4inches! I also won't use a 2inch ball with a shank smaller than 1 inch. My 2and 5/16 ball has a 1and 1/4 inch shank. My weakest point is the little 5/8 inch soft pin that holds the receiver in my hitch!

this is retarded. waste of firewood and no protection from wind. the real way to do this is build a snow trench high enough to fit your body. with a layer of pine bough on the floor and on top with a small fire 2-3 feet from the entrance. this trench can be dug with hands and requires no tools besides for gathering the wood.

My volume on high and can not hear a word he is saying

1lb =0.45kg ...... so, 10,000lbs = 4,500kg

Thank you for assisting our communities!!!!

Here in Limon and Lincoln County, we appreciate your work.

I have enjoyed every video you put out. Thank you for what you do.

Good job!

thank you folks.

Thank you. raphael nyc

couple years later just perusing youtube and came across this. I know the guy who owns the rig. I was at his house when you guys came through in the evening to drop some stuff off, i remember the white Rubi specifically. I never did get the full story on how this happened, but your professionalism on the recovery is unmatched. All the respect in the world to you guys!

The forces involved in these operations are hard to fathom.

Thanks to the widow who let this be shared.

Is there any evidence that this can happen if only chains are used with no rope or cable? I have a hard time believing a solid chain would stretch and snap like a rope or cable would...

That pic. of the bent steering wheel as a 'witness mark' is astounding.

Thank you very much. I’ve shared this with my son who occasionally pulls.

great informational/knowledge video for safety

Great job on an excellent recovery equip. video, there is a lot of good advice given. and...that Snookum shackle may overhead crane rated, but this kid still isn't walking underneath it to find out.

Great 👍🏻 job

Ram to the rescue 🛟

I thought Switzerland was an easy trail ?

Awesome great job. This pictorial saved life's

Nice job. Thank you.

like laying a baby down in the crib! nice job team!

How do you roll there. Been to the top probably 6 times ? If your gonna drop a video about a recovery why not tell us how it happened ? Education is very important in off-roading to avoid these very dangerous accidents.

Thumbs up, at least they kept the recovery on the trail rather then chewing up the ground along the road, great video

I hope nobody was hurt in this.

Thank you for this

great job guys!

Wonder what vehicle did to that alpine stream?

Recovery skill level: Expert!

Wow! Thanks for posting this.

Excellent work here, folks!

Hopefully the driver/passengers were OK. Nice recovery!

Im pretty sure that wont buff out. Just saying.

Thats a bad day for sure!

Fascinating. I hope the guy who was doing the towing was not charged with anything. Are there limit with respect to where the towing pieces are attached to the towing vehicle?

Its probably over fifteen minutes was at the 15:00 mark. Uncanny. Thanks from a beginner off-roader.

"Multiple mph" " thousands feet per second " so which is it? 150 mph is only 222fps so... what? thousand MPH? More? 1500mph to make " thousands of feet per second"? That ball did not accelerate to 2000mph lol. ( thousandS of feet per sec)

I mean if you’re pulling a small tree or something like that those ball hitches are perfectly fine. There’s like a few hundred pounds of force at most

Don't be cheap when it comes to off-road. You pay back with life

One thing occurs to me: i hear a lot of people in the comments saying they've been doing this for years and gotten away with it. I've also heard folks talk about steel not being as strong as it used to be. Might not be a coincidence. Especially if your hitch came from Harbor freight.
