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

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.

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

[@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.

[@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!

So nice to see you guys still together after so many years.

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.

[@bradleymadosh911]

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.

[@timpowell3255]

Awesome video Y'all ! Hunter is a trooper, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty when need be. And it was a little surprise to see Michelle back in the day, she sure can sing and neither one of them have changed much at all ! Thanks for sharing these recovery adventures and the snippets of y'all's life with us all Folks ! ✌️❤️🙏

Great recovery! And Hunter you’re a hard worker and great asset to the team!

[@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!

Hunter,work smarter not harder,that was Helmet time!! The Truck has all the right tools for the job,as usual. Michelle was killin it!! Love you guys

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.

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.

As an offroad rider/racer for 50 years and a dad,...I politely recommend a helmet and goggles for Hunter while he's driving the Canam....
