Hey Matt who’s the new guy wearing a florescent jacket? 😂

[@jonvenden4284]

Matt if you want to reduce the window fog with no defroster get a small 12 volt fan and let it blow air across the windshield. When you race stock cars in Seattle area its a thing to do this because of the moisture in the fall.

[@rubenbraekman4515]

Or just fix the defrost

[@aharmonicparticle6776]

This, also a quick 'hack' is to put the folding headliner shades down so they trap hotter air against the windshield. Helps defrost/defog a LOT faster.

[@biggyrat7808]

Defrost doesn't work in my Navigator. Friend told me to try desicant, like the little packs you find in packages. Bought 2 one pound bags on Amazon for $20. They're each about the size of your hand. Put them on the dash and haven't had a foggy window since then.

[@bigredc222]

@@biggyrat7808 Wow that's neat.

[@bigredc222]

Let's guess what the Morrvair needs to have defrost. I think it needs a heater core, fan, duct, and holes in the dash. Ten to one the Morrvair will never have heat or defrost.

[@teressarenslow5992]

I wondered how long it would be before Matt took that coat off! Lol! My other half works for a tow company in Evergreen, Colorado...they do lots of roll-overs and "down-over-the-hill" recoveries, steep and slippery in the snow. I enjoy watching Matt's crew and comparing the different skills needed for recoveries that don't include sheer drop-offs and assistance from State Patrol. Keep safe, guys!

I drove a 1972 VW Super Beetle on US60 across West Virginia, in a snowstorm, with no heat/defrost (or starter). I pray to never, never do that again. I used an ice scraper hanging on a gumband from the rearview mirror to scrape the inside of the windshield. The outside air was about 22F, so the snow just flowed over the outside of windshield. One positive, a VW bug handles snow very well.

Those two are just two true friends. They just slightly rub each other the wrong way but work so well together.

[@thephantom1492]

Fun fact, the "10" part in "10-4" for example was mostly made to add delay to the actual code. Back in the old day of early radio, they were using tubes, not transistors. Those had to warm up. That could add a second between the time you key in and the transmitter actually transmit on the actual frequency. This mean that you lose the start of every transmission. Plus, people often started to talk right as they press the button or slightly before. By adding "10" before every code, you ensure a second or so of delay, which worked great. So instead of hearing "..or" for "four", you now hear "n four". Now, why the codes were made? It was because the airwaves were being super congested. So they had to shorten the transmission. So they made the 10 codes, which vary from group to group. So instead of saying "I am on site and I am going for investigation", they just need to say "10-17 10-18". It is always funny to hear some transmision with more numbers than words... "431 to central, 10-17 10-18 10-07 10-09 and send the 1038 and 2034"

[@herrbrahms]

Interesting tidbit of radio history, thank you!

[@thephantom1492]

@@herrbrahms Even on modern radio you often miss the start of the words. Specially on digital radio, and even worse on trunked system (like most firefighters and police use). For analog, people start to talk as they move their fingers, so they literally talk before they clicked the button... Digital have that, plus a small delay at the start of the transmission for sync data and some other stuff. Still a split second usually, but some can be almost a full second. I've seen some 'walkie talkies' that emitted a "bebebebebebebeep" when you pressed the button to remind you to wait. People still talk over that beep. Trunked system is even worse. When you key in, it first contact the tower via a control frequency, ask for the autorisation to transmit, the tower acknowledge or deny it, if allowed it tell it on which frequency to transmit. Then the voice radio switch to that frequency, start to transmit it's sync data, then start to transmit the voice. Note that usually trunked system have 2 radios inside, one that monitor the control frequency, one that do the audio. Fortunatelly, some system fix this by buffering the audio that you want to transmit, and start to record right as you key in, then once it got the authorisation it start to transmit it back, And when you release the button it continue to transmit the rest of the audio.

[@BikeNewLondon]

I work in a plant that's got a lot of levels and different areas where we can't all see each other. Everyone carries a radio, pretty similar to police radios. We constantly have problems with people (usually newer employees) front-clipping their transmissions, that is talking before the radio and repeater are picking up. And of course most people say the most important thing at the beginning when they speak. So the 10- code or an informal "How about you, XXXXX" before you call the name or say where someone needs to meet you makes sure that the radio is broadcasting and people pay attention and get the message. (BTW I'm pretty sure no CB radio was ever built with tubes... everything from the 70s was transistors. But definitely not like modern digital radio technology.)

[@thephantom1492]

@@BikeNewLondon Tube CB, no, but I used "CB" pretty looselly here. Any radio transmitter. Could be on a train, or a boat, or whatever. Whatever required a two way radio back then. Could even be HAM operators... Point is, if you have a radio that can transmit and you key in, and don't let the equipment stabilise before speaking, you lose the start of what you said.

[@stargazer7644]

Malarkey. They didn’t turn the tube filaments on and off each time you keyed up. The tubes didn’t have to warm up when you transmitted. The tubes warmed up when you turned the power on. The “10” indicates it is a ten code. Just like a “Q” indicates a q-signal. If you just said “4” it wouldn’t be clear what you meant. 10-4 is clear.

[@Efraboy87]

Hey Matt. Set up the VOX feature on your radios, it allows you to speak hands free without having to press the PTT(push to talk) button. That way you can place the handheld on your lapel and talk.

[@aarronwoods6389]

@@-Jethro- It does and you can say garbage words at first to lessen the impact, but that's hard to do when you have something urgent to say. The best way to use these is a headset with PTT, but those can be a pain too.

@@-Jethro- yes! I think if you mess with the sensitivity of the vox it helps but it will start activating every time it hears something.

Another great recovery! Thanks for the awesome content! I started a job last year where radio use is the daily norm, but the only code regularly used is 10-4. One day to break the monotony I said 10-32, idk why it was 32, it just came out. When asked what it meant, someone else chimed in with "nekkid grandma", and that became a regular joke for a while. Flash forward a few weeks and I decide to look it up to see what 10-32 actually is. Man with gun. Don't say 10-32 on open radio waves, it means man with gun. 10-33 is emergency, 10-51 is wrecker needed, and 10-92 is improperly parked vehicle. Thought these may be relevant for ya!

I’ve been binge watching all your recoveries. Great show. Love it. Keep up the good work

My God , what a magnificent view off that mountain !

From situations I have been in, I put a receiver on the front of my truck and already had one on the rear and ran a quick disconnect wire front and rear and put a badlands apex winch on a cradle so I can use it at either end. It is one of the best, smartest things I have ever done because unless I get in a really bad situation, I can recover myself and I can also help someone in need. If I am going to the mountains, I always have 4 thirty foot straps, 12000lb winch with 80 feet of synthetic line, v bar tire chains, traction pads, a 30ft x 1 inch kinetic rope and a 20ft x 7/8 kinetic rope, snatch block, soft shackles, different size clevises and 2 receiver shackles. I refuse to be in a situation with my family again where I don't have the means to get myself out. Now I just need to figure out how to shave 4000 pounds off of my truck

So I slide off into a deep mud hole that was frozen over. In my 07 Wrangler, 4in lift, 37in tires. All the goods underneath. Just replaced the front drive shaft. Didn't plan on getting muddy/icy but my new tires are wider than my old ones and I couldn't help it. I connected my 12000lb winch and it immediately cracked. The entire housing. Gears and motor fell out. Had to ratchet strap it together to try to get it to work. It never pulled. This was the first time I used it. Also, one last hooraaa to get out, the last hit busted my axle housing! Could this be because of the cold elements?

[@simonsays5979]

@Kayana Danielle mud is extremely hard on even the best equipment and puts a lot of undue stress on everything because it is so heavy and dense and it causes suction that can be next impossible to break. I have had ice form around my brakes and front axles from snow wheeling and letting my vehicle sit over night I couldn't drive because everything was frozen in place. As far as everything that happened to you, it's hard telling, there are many things that added up to cause the issues, it was just an isolated thing. My guess is, the last hoorah when your axle housing broke, the mud was just stronger. What kind of winch?

Tip for the trucks with the Allison 2006 and above. When stuck on very slippery surfaces like snow and ice. Put the truck in M and select gear number 2. It’s actually designed for those situations. Long story short I was stuck for hours doing and trying everything and broke out the truck owners manual and then the Allison trans manual that came with the truck. I found this information because it told me specifically when and what to use it for. After reading that I was able to get out.

[@scottienichols9332]

Love how you tried to play like you might not be heading out. You know very well you live for that stuff.

[@billbillinger2491]

What a difference the radios make in communication!

[@jeffpolsene680]

There is a little trick you can try next time your driving in the snow that might help. Get the snow and crap off the windshield. Then turn the defrosters off and just runthe heat blowing down below. Let the windshield get cold. Then proceed to drive. With a cold windshield, the snow will ot stick to it so you wont need the wipers going and the windshield stays clean. Thats an old truckers trick. Ive been a trucker for over 30 years, and when I lived in Wisconsin, an old trucker told me that. Give it a try.

Just watched your last video of the van rescue .looked like a job for the heavy wrecker even with The banana and blue steel didn't didn't have enough weight to pull it up over the bank easily. But you never give up Bravo. Cliff

[@loosemoose9799]

Matt, an outstanding rescue that you made look easy.
