ABANDONED Camper Needs A Lift!

I teamed up with @troysOffroadRecovery to get this abandoned truck camper out go the National Forest for PLS Bend as part of our forest cleanup efforts. It was DEEP in the woods and had been there for many years. The people who put it there somehow managed to get it perched onto a precarious set of stands next to a canal, and we had to get it down without dropping it off the stands and blowing it to pieces in the woods. So Troy brought out his 6x6 military wrecker to lift it, while I used my skid steer to maneuver my car trailer up the forest trail and into position. We then removed all the stands, lowered it onto my trailer, and hauled it back out to my rollback, where we loaded everything back up and hauled it to the storage area where it can be processed.

@@George-dy3pt first off. You have no idea who I am and what I do. Since retirement I run a farm down here. Rescuing abused and neglected horses. Through the Veterans rehab services, vets With TBI/PTSD/homeless/ recovering addicts come here. Through councilling and therapy, these vets regain their self respect, get vocational training in construction trades, and get to point of self sufficiency. Being a Native American , it is a large part of our life to return "life" to our community and family. In as much as that. I can only say to you, conversation in like driving a stick shift car. You operate the clutch before you engage the gears, engage your common sense and brain before you engage your speech. With this I will end contact. Goodbye and enjoy your life elsewhere.

[@kensherwin4544]

Using a short "tractor" and pushing that trailer for visibility and maneuverability was either sheer genius or long-time experience (probably both). Very well done.

This was cool, glad to see some M936 wrecker action. When those trucks are kept up on maintenance, very useful to have when you need it. Hope to see you and troy collab in some more videos, you guys make a good team and thanks to you both and anyone else involved who volunteered their time, money, and equipment to help clean the environment.

Casey, when I was working for the asphalt co. we had all of our bobcats fitted with tow bar receivers on the back of them so that when we moved stuff with them we were not looking over our shoulders all the time to see where we were going.. this might be a great idea for you to to do saves the neck and back.

[@katherineh9950]

So satisfying to see how you guys work with these big "toys"... and volunteering to clean up public lands to boot! Well done. 😀

[@lonhoschar1943]

Love watching big equipment working! I used to build foundations for pre-built modular homes. I'd pre-grade the lot and staging area. The truck would haul in the home and the setting crew would roll the home onto the foundation. In some cases, a crane would lift and swing it onto the foundation one half at a time. I loved watching the setting crew scurrying around getting everything lined up while it was being lowered onto the foundation. I provided a "turn-key" service for the owners. When I was done all they had to do was move in. All utilities were installed and turned on, lot was finish graded and either sodded or seeded and driveways and walks poured.

[@waynesligar5948]

I'm so glad that there are people like you that just does the right thing no matter what thank you Casey

[@allanarndt3047]

That was some slick maneuvering putting your trailer under the camper with the skid steer,I never thought of using a skid steer that way? Smart thinking!

[@m2hmghb]

"I'm not good at landing" At least you know how to roll. Great video Casey.

[@billclisham8668]

That makes me want a 936 wrecker even more now! Troy was up there looking like he was running an 8" deck gun on a destroyer!

[@oleflks]

Don't know about 936, but remember m62 5 ton way back in late 50's. Used it as crane on Nike AA sites

[@outterlimits1]

I like seeing those old military trucks beings put back to use. Maybe, you guys can add a WW2 Army amphibious D.U.K.W. to your rescue vehicle collections and add lake, floods and swampy rescues to your channel?

I love this safety helmet stuff, it’s not much use even if complied with. It will (maybe) protect you from a falling wing nut,anything heavier and you’d better hope you don’t get a square hit. Nothing, but nothing, protects you better than using your senses (including common sense) and being aware of what is around you that could hurt you. For what these guys are doing, swapping the baseball caps for bump caps might help ,but only might.
