4X4 TRUCK STUCK IN SWAMP by BSF Recovery Team

A 4X4 Chevy Truck was stuck in this swamp for about 4 weeks, several tries to pull it out failed. so we brought the wrecker over to get it out.

The man that started the recovery videos the king of recovery thank you for your videos for the past 10 years

You are on the right track. The cable, when it snaps is realeasing all of the energy it built up while being stretched. The point in which it snaps is where the energy is released. The blanket absorbs the energy and basically causes both cable halves to fall to the ground. The blanket would have to be made taught in order to accelorate at the same rate as the cable. It is kinda like punching a board versus a couch cusion. All kinetic energy is absorved before movement can take place.

[@DOMINION4x4]

Nice video. And that is one bad-ass old school Chevy wrecker !!

[@Grizzydan]

I've watched so many of your vids over the last few years. This was the one that got me hooked. I really enjoy watching you drive out of trails with someone hooked up behind you. Really makes me want to build a wrecker. Amazing stuff man! Can't wait to see more.

[@dustinreeher2538]

I have been watching this guys show for years now and I just figured out what keeps me coming back. its the great commentary.

[@elev8j10]

At least that chevy had that awesome chrome rollbar and lights just in case.

[@crashbandit7270]

Love the baby driving at the end lol

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

That was Abby, and look at her now.

[@thevdubguy7881]

Glad you guys showed up. That suburban needs to be scrapped! Love watching your videos tho. Sad about the old wrecker, but the new one seems to be doing just fine! Keep the videos coming

[@ryanscott2548]

I dont see a suburban...

That’s a Badass tow truck.

That was a professional at work from start to finish. Nice job!

[@maracing6175]

Excellent work my friend. You have made a new fan for sure!!!

[@geraldg3130]

Cheese and Crackers Man !! That is one bad-ass winch !! So much could have gone wrong with this recovery - luck or some other mysterious force was on your side.

[@DK_tk3]

I got A Jeep stuck so bad A wrecker with all of us jumping on the front couldn’t get it to move. Can back 3 weeks later it was out with A note from A Michigan wheeling club. It said “ You call that stuck”

[@xmo552]

Trevor That's awesome. I hope you find them.

[@Shonuff42080]

Were at in Michigan?

[@AmericanMadeMud]

Many years ago a fellow on my shift at the mine took his new F-250 down in the river an got it stuck up to the door handles. He walked over to the stop where the mine bus picked and went to work. While at work he organized a rescue mission for after work. When we arrived at the river with men and trucks we found two fellas who had winched the Ford out and were cleaning up their tools, straps and winch. Seems they had gone down to the river found the stuck truck and thought it a great opportunity to use their new winch. It was a tense meeting at first which thankfully turned into a bonfire and beer party.

That old wrecker is a lifesaver! Beside his trouble and fee get that man a case of his choice as a thank you!

[@81cutlass267]

another awsome video, thats the great thing about hydraulic winches, they just keep going till something breaks.

[@460mudder]

No kidding! They're great engines, but they're not the ONLY great engines.

Both of them trucks BFF you guys rock get er done every time you guys are bad to the bone

I had my own 4X4 shop in Tempe AZ for years, and had a sign in my shop that said "4 wheel drive does not take the place of Common Sense".

That is one badass wrecker!!

[@azimaz5483]

Two beautful trucks. Did great job pulling it out

[@MrBebopKid]

It sucks because it's a really nice looking truck too... people need to treat their stuff with respect..

[@cwk1981]

um ya i wouldnt add anymore weight lol.. but that rig did look great with the tires up in the air.. great job with the videos. hope to see you in the woods next year when my rig is done..

[@lucasoilfan]

that tow truck is so cool. you need to ditch that old rotator light bar and get a whelen liberty light bar for that truck!

[@jonvenusti]

this makes me want to make one of my wrecker lifted

[@jasonnelson3524]

swamp suction at its best..great video

[@dewaynemartin6437]

Years ago, a friend of mine was lied to by someone stuck off-road in the mud in order to get him to go into the woods with his wrecker. They got to the truck stuck in the mud, my friend said, "I'm not getting muddy....here, you hook it up". The guy asked, "What do I hook the cable to?" My friend replied, " Hook it to the part you want to come out"😉

[@willyphast2509]

good job eric. nice to see gm3500 pull her sister out of that mess.

[@Mercmad]

I used to drive a Ford wrecker and we would have done this a lot differently. First I would have chained a snatch block to the front of the Chevy, doubling the pulling power of the winch by running the cable back to the Ford and shackleing it to the rear deck. Also, I wouldn't run the cable over the crane but through a fair lead on the deck. It's not only safer in case the cable parts,but allows the cable to pull straight and lessen the load on the chassis. We also rear wheel chain plates...

[@c0derealitydotcom]

Damn dude, I bet that truck was badass af.

One of the best videos I've ever seen

[@Beandiptheredneck]

[@mtnman1984]

Hearing that cable ting and seeing the bumper bent up like that, I'm surprised nothing broke.

[@SuperTooShea]

Just a suggestion to the camera woman.. If she had a MONO pod it would make it easier for her to hold the cam steady and she could move around fairly easily still :D.. Love the vids keep them coming!!

[@CrazyCurtass]

Im lucky I have a backhoe.Pulled a few guys out lol Been buryed myself about the same ouch my poor truck.Pulled a shit load of guys out quading with my grizzly.Iv got double winches one on the front and one on the back,works awsome.Sweet old tow truck keep pulling.But dont pull to hard it might fall off lol.

[@LincolnSP150]

Good Job of Recovery,............ Well Done!!

[@FILIPFROMSALMO]

Nice job. Winches are wonderful and in cases like this, essential

[@mcmc8496]

Good effort and video, only one issue, I don't think that I could have trusted that iffy bumper to duck under after you got it out,but that's just me. Thanks and keep em coming....

[@mrRhwalden]

It's amazing what you can do with a wrecker. they are just versatile trucks.

[@CarswithNash]

Cool truck, hope it gets fixed.

[@jameselliotttt92]

didnt even watch the whole vid before i subscribed... the tow truck plowing through the mud in the first 5 seconds got me hooked ;) literally lol

[@Tboninator]

Goodyear Wrangler MT's... They're 37x12.50x16.50 off of a Humvee. You can get a set of 4 for about 400, but they're used. Can usually get them from Trailworthy Fab with 90-95% tread per tire.

[@JR-kr1lv]

Been there but not a month, 24 hours max, lots of jacking up, friends getting rocks from anywhere they could and build a rock road out if that shit, yes you must go in and under, it's worse during the winter and you break threw the ice and get stuck in the hole. Can only hook to the frame part or you will tear off shit. I went swimming one night in ice cold water and it was 5 degrees out, thank you for beer, felt like 25 degrees, hair was wet and all. I hooked up the chain so well, it was the best hookup I done, I guess I didn't want to go in a 2nd time. We got out in a hour. Heavy Chevy, I'll never put mudding tires in again, always dug and got stuck, my all season tires that's 32's in 15 inch rims went threw everything in my 1969 Chevy. Put Mud Kings on, got stuck everywhere after that. My cousin went everywhere in 2 WD in his Toyota with 39 inch tires, super swampers go anywhere. Not cheap back then. Started breaking parts on his new 1987 Truck. Just 2 years old. Void warranty.

[@danielrobinson4227]

They should hire you to recover the titanic.

[@garyrobinson3735]

Fuck no, this guy has to be the worst recover I've ever seen

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Gary Robinson the truck has one winch line on it and limited capabilities. He also doesn’t charge for this stuff so he’s not going in the water to do much. Please elaborate on why he’s so bad

[@garyrobinson3735]

@@Beandiptheredneck I can't explain excellence. It is grasped or it is not. I can say that calling this outfit is not worth the damages. After watching the channel it maybe cheaper to just call a contracter. Like wow.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Gary Robinson I still don’t know how you say he’s so bad. Most times they are pulling broke down crap out of mud pits Bush trails and obstacles. Something is going to break. Besides, I don’t see you out there doing it for nothing more than a thank you. Always someone that thinks they could do better..

[@way2easy2love]

it helps control the cable if it breaks, they can be deadly i saw a guy lose an arm from a snapped cable, he died from blood loss its very haunting to me

[@1anearthling1]

After four weeks , that truck was almost a part of the swamp . It was glued to the bottom . That's a strong wrecker , that was a tough pull . Maybe that chevy needs a new nick name .

[@karlk6860]

God I love that answer to how long the pickups bee in the water, OH ABOUT A MONTH!!! Hilarious!!!!!

[@cwk1981]

great job getten that out..might wana think about adding alittle more weight to the front of the wrecker tho lol

[@clearererick]

Every so often I always end up on this channel somehow. Haha I am finanlly going to Sub.

[@curtekstrom6600]

The wrecker wouldn't have to strap himself to another anchor point. Lower the boom on the wrecker and your front end won't come off the ground.

[@racingfool69]

love the videos man and love the wrecker....was just curious what do you charge these guys who get stuck or break when there out wheeling?

[@rob37greenbike]

lick to meet you, but not cuz I need help.. another wicked vid by BSF,.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

The front of the wrecker has a lot of extra weight, the bumper/winch is about 375lbs, and the Hummer tires/wheels on the front with the bead locks and run flats add about 200lbs each. not sure if want it any heavier :(

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

The winch is hydraulic, with a belt driven pump, I was watching the bumper VERY close the whole time. the winch cable is 7/16" galvanized 6x19 with a steel core. I didn't use a snatch block because the winch wasn't even close to stalling out, I just needed to hold the truck from sliding.

That was an awesome recovery at the time

[@eddierose8836]

Man that. Bad. Ass. Old. Chevy. Power

[@ericerto8250]

I really enjoy your videos

[@thelastengineer2315]

I’m guessing the reason the other trucks failed was that the driver of the Chevy had no idea what direction his wheels where turned and had it full lock to the right, which explains why both front tires where flat and the right side front wheel was packed with mud. The twit didn’t think to steer in the direction he was being pulled.

[@dwitherell88]

glad to see those bolts still held the bumper on and then some. that would not have been good.

[@83vette]

I would have never drove that shortbox into a slough like that. At least not there. I looks like he was trying to drive through it rather than across. I think of a few things before I punch it through a mudpit. 1. Can I Make it. 2. Will I Get stuck 3. Can my friends get me out. I've heard of people getting stuck, ditch the truck. come back 2 weeks later and find your truck on it side stripped of dana 44's and everything else that is of use. Too cool though nice wreckin rig.

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

truck upside down

[@83vette]

Upside down or laying on its side with a few free sockets and missing axles

[@l337pwnage]

Loafy Loaf eh, shotgun traps help mitigate that.

[@Positrack]

Yeah, I guess that's right. I didn't notice the short bed with it mired in the swamp, but he does have 1-ton badges on it. It's still a nice truck though, even if it is a 1/2-ton.

[@victorbart]

Your almost winched his bumper off! I don't think you want to stand near the truck when it brake off...... What kind of winch is it? PTO driven? and what size cable do you use? and why didn't you use a pully for this heavy pull? Eric thanx again for the great video!

[@eagle1046]

great recovery bro, maybe next time they will listen to others when they tell them not to go in there, lol... keep the great videos coming...

[@goofyexponent]

If the cable breaks, teh blanket will weigh it down and provide enough aerodynamic drag to keep it from killing someone standing at teh back of the wrecker. A flring cable can cut an operator clean in half!

[@Super1949ford]

it would be way better than what is on the shit tube now i for one would love to see this made into a tv show
