Pulled from its Grave - Saving IT - Vw Bus Rescue in Woods

We finally dig the forgotten Vw Bus out from the NH stream. The rusty old split window Bus moves for the first time in decades! This buried old car has been sitting over 50 years in the woods.

[@benkrom2737]

I'm thinking, you need to get a Heliocopter License to get some of these cars. Looking like you're in Vietnam trying to get to soldiers in distress 😳

[@PSthefirst1]

If I was in the area I’d offer to help. Looks like a team of fans would get it done quicker.

[@MZ-gz8vz]

VW Bus fans all over the world are rooting for you!! Love the episode!!

[@mustie1]

but wait theres more,

[@mten8965]

🤘👍

[@Jan-pw4po]

Yup, Mustie nailed it

[@TheFurriestOne]

Think you could get any good parts off that engine that was sitting in the bus?

[@patricksmith9610]

Appreciate your passion and tenacity.

[@01AceAlpha]

You have a sickness my friend and it is good!

[@lancenutter1067]

Sometimes things that seem cheap or free, aren’t worth the price of admission…

[@Rock-Forehead]

And thats how the pyramids where built.

[@BerndHemlock]

😂🤝👍👍

[@shake544]

i would've gradually added smaller logs

[@SteveB88]

You need to keep a set of traction boards with you when you’re going out to sloppy mud holes like that.

[@442olds7]

Craziness... in a good way!

[@fredrikjohannesson250]

Woooaaa 😅,, you made it, congrats man, i hope for same sucsess for the 15w 👍

[@dubbedaway]

Dedication at the next level brother! Looking forward to the 15 window rescue 😂

[@steveb9822]

Got to admire your perseverance. Those logs remind me of the Flintstones.

[@65bugnut]

You got 1 of them. You could always spend the night in the abandoned farm house, if you had to. It didn't look at all haunted. Beetle juice beetle juice beetle juice.

[@meetjohndoe1078]

You remembered your Charlemagne from Indiana Jones lol! “Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the sky”

[@breakinn403]

I sure hope you find those hidden gold bars in there......... There are gold bars.... Right?? You are a remarkable person. I really enjoy this series.

[@usedtobecool6874]

love you're attitude man.....always find the positive out of every negative is the way....cheers

[@dlavarco]

I'm not a VW aficionado so I do not see the redeeming value in that. I am hopeful that you'll video your wife's expression when you bring it home.

[@Wiltshire-observer]

I was thinking ten minutes to the end, his luck is about to run out ! - the rain and wind will arrive and ten steps backwards ….. and it happened !. Well done Jason, you’ll get ‘em ! ……

[@almclean4835]

It’s nearly there. Got to admire your determination. Winch on the front of the tow vehicle might be handy. The 15 window will be easier, you’ll have learnt a lot getting the first bus out

[@CGW11]

Glad to see you build a simple sled. The wheel chocks worked great. Watch the weather forecast closely. It looks to be very difficult to work there when wet. Since the bus has large holes in the floor it might need to be wrapped when on the trailer, so that you won’t spill small parts everywhere.

[@michaelmccann4706]

The usual Jay determination, great haircut, you look a lot younger. Those buses are worth saving.👏👍

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you Michael , I appreciate it

[@uhn100]

Well Jason that was well planned and executed and great engineering as well sorry you ended up with a muddy mess again I think you have the patience of a saint really well done I look forward to the next part I was cheering you on best regards Andy Allen.

[@carlkwasnjuk9518]

I would weld up a frame 3 feet wide or more with 4 pneumatic tires that bolts up to the frame horns for situations like this. It would come in handy many times over.

[@jaws6869]

I been waiting months to see these buses dragged out, not disappointed. I admire your determination, well done 👏

[@vwcadwagon]

I was hoping! I was cheering! I was YELLING! I was so glad when that Bus started moving. Your ingenuity paid off. I really wish I was closer. I'd love to help in this adventure. Ignore the "Why askers!" Keep doing what you're doing. It's all going to be worth it. I'm amazed at how good the nose of that blue Bus looks. Can't wait for the next video. Take care of yourself.

[@stephenricketts7764]

It is ready to load says Jason. Well it was but you didn't count on the water under the truck. Seriously though you ARE heading in the right direction. I would fill in some of that track with dry soil if possible, that would make a BIG difference. Yes I know it is easy for me to say I am not there after all but I am giving you 100% support Jason. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍

[@bruceanderson5525]

My cat Jazz and I have a whole new respect for you. My goodness, I thought this bus was there for good. I might mention that when they're ready to raise the Titanic, they should just call you. Incredible job my friend!

[@TSLAaddict]

Egyptians did it the same way when they moved chunks of rock around, rolled it on logs.

[@scottnyc6572]

Wood scaffolding boards have a high weight rating.They’re hard to come by but if you ever see them they’re stamped showing rating.

[@pdrphil8159]

You are a diehard v.w. guy to go thru all that for a rotted & roached bus... Must be something about it you just cant live without...

[@AlanG58]

Outstanding work once again! That thing looked like it was buried there for good - but you showed it! I'm amazed how it held together somehow.

[@toshnee]

Some special efforts put in there jay. Unbelievable how you got that thing outa there.

[@robertnauss4815]

Great work I'm outta steam just watching you outta steam ....you must of had a sore stiff ass the next day.. 😮

[@BerndHemlock]

🏆for the Champion off Miners.. Top Job!...🇩🇪🤝.

[@upstate-.-alien]

I dunno about the spirits . But I appreciate your persistence. 👽

Your videos are therapeutic for me, thank you very much.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Awesome work Jason I am really enjoying these videos 👍🏻

[@erichieber2035]

Danbury guy here.. .. love watching your content..

[@fuzzwack1]

I think the screws in the tire helped 100% ..LOL!

[@knutbkristiansen]

Awesome episode buddy

[@maverick4177]

Good effort 👏🏻👏🏻 can’t help thinking Mustie1 and dubwerks should be the helping out though 😂 Hey will soon be wanting some parts off them 😂😂

[@jimihendrix1575]

Wish I were nearby, I'd enjoy helping you. I really enjoy your video's, Jason. Thanks for always taking us along!

[@andrewphillips9123]

You are doing remarkabley well. I'm just willing that blue kombi to move for you. Doing it and filming it above and beyond . I wish I was there tp help you. You deserve a medal.

[@robertwells1650]

Well done! Patience and thinking outside the box has resulted in getting that bus out. Looking forward to more videos on the 2 buses. Cheers

[@22gonefishing]

The spirits didn't want you to give up so they gave you one good day so you still had hope, ok, he's coming back, let it rain. You're doing good, almost got it. Maybe a real truck with off road tires might help in that muddy mess.

[@richvw1974]

You are amazing. Ultimate rescuer

[@johnsarian_cu]

I'm starting to get why Mustie1 hasn't made an appearance to help LOL. Major shout out to your dedication so far.

[@jamesthompson8008]

So I need some help here understanding WHY this is worth saving. I get that its obviously an early bus, with the small taillights & all, but nothing I'm seeing says uber-rare, valuable, etc.

[@VorlonFrog]

Dude, this video was incredible. Congrats getting that first bus out of the way!!

[@avanm420]

I love watching your recovery safaris. You are positive and see the potential in those old busses.

[@ineverhadthemoney7857]

what you can do is buy a boom truck for towing 4 wheel drive //make your jobeasy in life

[@CrusadesOClock]

Crazy you got one out already, I was expecting a 1000 part series! Haha!

[@Wil_Liam1]

Where's your friends when you need them... What are your plans for this van J ??

[@josephperry6822]

I see your twin brother Daryl is back at it! Awesome! He's a good getter!

[@ob1vw]

Got the blue one out. A lot of back breaking work there. Can't wait to see the 15 window getting out. Is any of the frame left on the blue one?

[@dermottbarrett764]

ingenuity and hard work paid off, maximum effort! Well done….

[@melvinjones3895]

Check on that guy that repos Sheds he gets this pulled out of every where. The idea of making a sled is a good idea you need portable wheels.

[@CTmoog]

Holy smokes! This is has to be your most epic rescue ever! Nice job man! 😎😎😎

[@5150mxVW]

Most expensive for sure😭 , thanks man !

[@joshuagraham3222]

I’ll be interested to see what you can do with this one. Looks a little beyond help at this point.

[@vw5085]

Ohhh yeah. Nice work Jay. Can’t wait for part 3. We’re loving every minute of it.

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you , well there is a good 6 hours of night time work ( serious struggle ) that didn’t get filmed due to darkness …let’s just say the bad spirit must of been on vaca for this day lol

[@angelsone-five7912]

Hats off to your determination and efforts, I get tired just watching! 😆

[@vagabond96h]

Get in touch with a Rambler guy to get those Ramblers out of there. We are as sick as you VW geeks. Lol

[@5150mxVW]

VW Geeks😆

[@billtopka2584]

Didn’t think it would ever come out after seeing the show when the water was running. 👍😎

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you , from time to time I wasn’t sure I was going to either

[@JovanJelic-jd5sx]

I wish you good luck with this VW bus.Great job!

[@dalestofer4301]

You're almost ready to build the VW Bus pyramid.

[@oedsnicolai4989]

That's out of there. At least you won't have to do a will it run on this one. 😂

[@hardware5777]

Yeah.....maybe I was yellin.

[@dreammaker730]

You are one determined man , where there is a will there is a way 💪💪👍👍

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

I see you got a haircut for the funeral for this bus😂

[@philipsdefreville6138]

Cool content! Looking forward to the coral Samba!

[@stevegrim]

Did you pay for these? If you did I hope it wasn't a lot.

[@MarkHenion-pd9qs]

One man gathers what another man spills!! Way to go!!

[@poppopkustomkars1234]

Somebody call UDizzy to help Jay out!!

[@greened57]

I’m amazed at what the will of man can do. Good job 👍

[@sammaze2103]

Come on Josh- wear the Honda Hat I sent you!!!!!

[@pnijhof8028]

Realy great to watch you save m. Grts from the Netherlands

[@5150mxVW]

[@KevinSimpson_MTB]

Amazing work Jay. This is your best rescue series yet 👊

[@5150mxVW]

[@meetjohndoe1078]

Molly Hatchet Flirtin' With Disaster!

[@Joesrustbuckets]

Of course it was jJo Shirley

[@johnnyhag675]

You gotta hand it to your perseverance.

[@jasonmullins5460]

Your love for these through your work for them !

[@Joesrustbuckets]

Now that's what I call the Flintstones

[@delskeens5274]

You need a buddy to help you in your endeavors

[@stormcloud3027]

Absolutely awesome well done,,,lk👌👍

[@Rumpleskin]

Can't say you are lazy. Lot of work!

[@jasonmullins5460]

You might just be 5150 ??!!😅

[@snowdogs59]

You are good at this. Classic rescue.

[@stevenyuhas1510]

Same way they built the pyramids.

[@fredrikjohannesson250]

Shit 😂,, i wrote to soon before the ending

[@internetkilledthevideostar]

@5150mxvw Using the logs you cut, build a pyramid underneath both busses, and make s’mores with Josh, as you watch them burn ;)

[@internetkilledthevideostar]

That spirit’s bad ju-ju…not to mention…Jen’s gonna be pissed.

[@stevedaniels1558]

What? Where’d that rain come from? The last 30 sec was the climax of that clip! You’ve left us hanging!!

[@5150mxVW]

30 second intro to the 10 hours of struggle ahead 😭

[@IEchuckie]

Persistent. We believe! We think 😅

[@tolbaszy8067]

You are a silly man! Thanks for sharing all the fun! (At least it's blue) I hope you were in the cozy confines of your tents and sheds, in Jen's backyard, editing this, and not sleeping in your stuck truck in the woods while Josh edited the content you emailed.

[@remibenoit763]

everyone of those bus need to be save

[@jonhill6440]

Epic stuff, well done!

[@PONO-go3ee]

Since you Recover So many VW’s make a Willie’s Type Fender with a Flat bottom and weld 2 Bars that Cross the Bolt Pattern like a ❌so it’s like A Snowmobile Slide or it will Make a Triangulated Slider on Old Steel UpsideDown Fender, Weld Flat Stock Steel drill Holes in the That You can Run Longer Lug Bolts through into the hub Lug holes and can bolt them yo can even Make it Height Adjustable with Holes higher up the VDUB So light 1/8 flat stock steel is plenty strong that the Hub can Slide along in

[@danielcopp6773]

Gotta hand it to you: if that was me I'd be reciting a bunch of Samuel Jackson lines for sure!! Thanks for sticking with it!!

[@guitarsteveman]

omg, awesome, hang in there ..

[@tryingagain14]

Good to see it ready to load. Water at the end sucks though. Now you know how you're getting the other one. Hopefully it'll be basically the same.
