The old footage of Michelle is pure gold!

"old footage" ? you might want to run & hide for awhile...you know women don't like that word "old" 😂

[@87teggy]

It's crazy to think that 2002 is a long time ago but a child born back then is now old enough to drink. My son is the example and that sure makes me feel OLD!

Michelle was quite the entertainer back in the day. Awesome footage. Hunter is a great addition.

Who gives Hunter a hard time? He's hilarious and great addition to the crew.

[@NDBoost]

He's definitely a good sport, a good addition to the crew, in my book.

That's why they give him a bad time. He's a likeable guy.

Great stroll down memory lane ….. who knew Michelle could sing and hunter could actually crew gum and walk at same time. :)

We fly into the bar 10 every fall. They feed us well and we enjoy hanging out on the patios for a while before heading home.

Michelle sure was cute in her outfit on her job-and sang/sings beautifully! Treasure your memories and your relationship! We celebrated 50 years last year-at the Grand Canyon!

Yes, just awesome beautiful. Cheers Cape town 👌👌

[@bullittdog4352]

Great stuff as usual guys..you both wear 20+ years pretty damn good! How can anyone give Hunter any crap..he jumps in feet first on everything Paul gets him into and manages to roll with the punches.

[@dstaff4134]

Paul - "Quit hurtin his(Hunter's) feelings, he only has a couple left." I busted a gut laughing at this!! The Fab Rats family and crew are so awesome!! Great content as always!

[@craigfism]

Love your voice Michelle, you should do a singing segment in one of your videos....

[@rickydonahue1586]

Hunter is loyal and he is always there when Paul calls on him. You do you Hunter and let the haters hate buddy.😁

Wait, Who's hating Hunter?

@@nitramdh Read the comments from past videos, unfortunately a lot of jealous haters out there...

[@Sophiebanks2014]

Paul, did you check and see if there were any live mussels on the trailer before you took it home? I noticed some weed seeds attached to the hitch that might produce some cross contamination with the local home flora. We don't want Deputy Dog to come to the shop with another ticket. Thanks for sharing

[@donboehner6005]

Paul: Criminal 😂 Hunter: Gopher 👍 Michele: Fab’ uless.

[@michaelpayne1737]

Yeah she's a Star!! No wonder Paul married her.

[@amywilmarth8141]

💯 on Fab’ uless , perfect for Michele.

[@amazeddude1780]

More like Fab-U-Lass!

[@michaelyoung3337]

I think Fab' ulous might be a better compliment, but we all agree!

[@chaosk1964]

Paul: King Rat (from the novel/movie); Hunter: Remy ( from Ratatouille); Michelle: while i can't disagree with Fab'uless, keeping with the theme, I'd propose the indomitable Mrs. Brisby (from the Secret of NIMH)

“Yep, Grandma’s in the way!” Love your channel chemistry and family values. The twenty year flash-back to 2002 was fantastic!

It's so awesome to see the love that Paul and Michelle have, it's like a match made in heaven. 🇺🇸 God Bless ya'll be safe out there.

[@davidjudd8597]

Found your channel through Matt’s Off Road Recovery and started watching Merlin after the Yellow Submarine series. I think it’s great how you all support one another. This episode brought back memories for my wife and I. We were at the Bar-10 and saw that show! I could have sworn anyways. But when I checked we were there in 2007. Great content. Love you guys.

[@personaldronerepair6141]

I like the idea of seeing all that there is to do around your area.

Michelle is a good singer. Im glad Hunter joined the team also. This channel has gotten so big since i first started watching it. Im glad Paul decided to quit his job and work at home and make these awesome videos. Thanks you FabRats for making me laugh and have something good to watch on KZbin.

Awe Michelle, Rocks the center stage with talent !!! Ur a Lucky man Paul, Hunters a hoot 💛 Thank you “Fab ulous Rats” ✌️

Never thought I would see the same mile markers along a dirt road that I see along the interstate. That is wild.

[@bigbob16]

I was thinking the same thing

[@MrJest2]

It's an "official" County or State road. I live in AZ; there's lots of unpaved roads that still have number designations, street signs, the whole deal. They are maintained and graded by the government, they're just not paved.

[@davidgates1122]

@@MrJest2 The state forest I hunt in has 100 miles of dirt roads that are officially county roads and are maintained by the county. But none of them have mile markers on them. I would have never imagined in a million years that a county would install mile markers on a dirt road.

[@Crewsy]

Well. That is an interstate “highway” considering they started off in Utah and the Bar 10 Ranch is in Arizona just north of the big ditch.

[@bennym1956]

@@MrJest2 My county in Ga. used to be the same way ! If you saw a car/van/truck with a dirty/dusty/muddy back end in the 5 surrounding counties, you KNEW it was my county !!!

[@LarryRay-cv2ui]

Thanks for letting me participate in your lives, I enjoyed seeing your early videos of your jobs and of Paul showing his intentions toward you. That brought tears to my eyes because it reminded me of my days when I was courting my wife (of 53 years before she passed) and it reminds me to offer a lookback at how important our beginnings were-----after a decade we tend to get used to living and we forget how important being married can be and should be. "Two heads are better than one" is a gross understatement---your lives are enhanced 100 times better than if you were living single. Remember what it says in Genesis about Adam and Eve and review it often because your marriage was sanctified by God. Everything that stems from the two of you is relevant and sanctified by God. Remember to assure your spouse of how much you love them every chance you get because when one of you get to being single again, you will know that you tried to do the right thing and have no regrets! God bless your union! And God bless the two of you!

[@leansmith2292]

Great content, Michell's old job, the drive out, and the recovery. Growing up in a small town, a small community is great.

We learned in auto mechanic school to always put the tire underneath the car when the wheels are off the car & it's on a jack.

Loved seeing that country again. My great grandparents settled out on the strip. My grandfather was born out there and met and married my grandmother in Tuweep Valley where the families had their ranches. They spent a lot of time around Nixon and Mt. Trumble. My grandmother even ran the mail over the mountain for a while. I'd love to get back out there again.

Wow, we are going to have to call Michelle 'Miss Hollywood'! She was quite the singer and entertainer! We can see why Paul fell for her! It's good to see Michelle back on the trails with Paul. And Hunter is the comic relief for the videos, all in all Fab Rats has a great team!!

Good morning I am looking forward to the video on the things to do in your area will definitely be interesting and educational.

He will get better with practice and experience. I may joke around but I have a lot of respect for Hunter
