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.

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.

[@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.

[@blondebeard6335]

I was probably missing something, cause it seemed to me you could have just got it with a pickup. Then again if I had that truck I'd find excuses to use it as much as possible.

[@BobbieJeanM]

As a non-wife old lady, I didn’t like the part where he was standing under the boom with the bar attached, that scared me more. Only bad experience I had was when I climbed on the hitch of a dump trailer to hold a branch out of the way as the trailer lifted all the way up. Equipment was fine but my balance is lousy now and my friend was yelling at me to get down…as he sat in the cab of his pickup with the radio on and truck running. I kept yelling that I couldn’t get down (knew I would fall without help). That went on for a while as we yelled louder and louder and some pointed words were added (by me). When he finally got out of the truck and heard me say I needed help, he did help and I did fall but not badly. When I apologized for yelling so much and my language, he said he hadn’t heard me at all. 😖🤦🏼‍♀️😆. Lesson learned.
