Just a little bit of damage… 😬

I've been wanting to try this new recovery technique for quite awhile, an my first attempt at it shows exactly why I never tried it on an actual job. The goal was to be able to lift the high side of the bus, spike down the front axle of the bus, and run a catch line to set it down softly, all while stabilizing the boom, with only two winches. I had to re rig it to prevent sheave head interference, then realized I incorrectly rigged the catch line to the rim, but on the second attempt everything went really smooth. Now that I've done this method in the yard, I would feel confident doing it on an actual job if needed, and since I now know exactly how to rig it, I think I could do the complete rigging in under 15 minutes.

[@wiresmith2398]

For anyone watching - Casey never said he was good at this, but THIS is how you get good!

[@sled9263]

Practicing new techniques for your trade. Great to see a professional honing their skills.

[@rogersteinberg2555]

A true professional practices and constantly improves. That distinguishes a pro from a lesser craftsman who rests on past successes.

[@nickd.4512]

As a retired wrecker operator, no one understands how much goes into a recovery. Even when it seems "routine". And they love to complain about how long it takes. Great job with this "experiment".

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

I found there is nothing routine about ANY recovery. About the time you get into a "routine" that next recovery is going to knock your balls into the dirt. I did a bunch of stuff in the snow, man you wanna add spice to a recovery go on the snow and ice. Worse yet some idiot breaks through ice on the lake... you are cold, slipping and falling. Now your wet and you just got your gear and winch cable to the Beer delivery truck that rolled into the ditch.

[@U20E27]

Casey’s wife probably listens to him talking about these ideas in his sleep😆😆. One thing is for sure most people driving by a rescue operation have no damn idea how much goes into getting a wreck safely cleared and off the road. Glad we have people like Casey working on solutions and practicing this stuff!! We need more people like that doing other important jobs like our gov. Because Casey can’t do everything!!

Good to see Grumpy out and about. Good morning to you both. Great job and video

[@deanschaffran3258]

Petition to call this rigging "Grumpy Style"

[@briankipper5496]

I am incredibly impressed with how smoothly it set the bus down the second time. I really like seeing you push the limits, because it's obvious you know what you are doing, and try to do it as safely as possible

[@IvorClegg]

The LaDelle Technique is deeply impressive!

[@marlar58]

Nothing wrong with LaDelle, but Cascade Mountain technique is where it happened, and sounds monumental. 😂

[@rythemzlatin]

​@@marlar58 👏 Sure as HILL does ! 🏔⛰

[@lonpearson2134]

Good rigging job Casey. This old tugboat captain figured it would work, but was surprised by how gentle the upright positioning occurred.

[@collinchinn]

there is a 99.99998% chance this info will never be useful to my life, but I found it fascinating!

[@kevinirwinirwin7666]

Always good to see grumpy and learn some things

[@sleim754]

You know your geometry sir. Good vid.

[@deandennis2838]

I’m sooo glad you were not hurt worse when you ripped your bag off. Damn, I can’t imagine the pain you felt.

[@Emb0341]

I’m impressed how you don’t settle in away and just stay stagnant. You continue to improve your craft and how to use your vehicle in a safe manor and get more done. Good job Casey.

[@lauriegraham5924]

The Grumpy roll!

[@davidbreaux5989]

One of my favorite Casey sayings, "So if any one says.... They're wrong."😅😂😂

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Casey, This is a big boy playing with his big toys to find out what happens when something out of the norm is tried. Experimentation, A great teacher. And glad there was no harm to the personel !

[@bobbendt1698]

Wow. That was a pretty cool setup Casey. Glad you tried it again the second time with the setup on the wheel to the outside.

[@TheKerberos84]

You could clamp a wood block on the outer side of the tire, it would increase the distance. And prevent the fender or rope from taking damage.

[@frank-t6857]

That is a cheap and quick solution as long as the block is secured to the rim and don't shoot out

[@davidbreaux5989]

Big zip ties to hold the block to the wheel

[@user-cv1jw7uc6u]

Good idea....thought the same thing before reading your comment.

[@whatnow5313]

A lot of thinking went into this idea, I'm sure.

[@GrinReaper411]

I thought the same thing. Glad I saw this comment. The block or you could fabricate a piece that you can keep with the truck.

[@glyn1]

MORNING CASEY You are a man that takes no risk you do what i do Do your home work first make sure that their is no big risk to you or other people or property Called a 5x5 plan

[@richieixtar5849]

Man! That second try wouldn't have cracked an egg! Brilliant mate. Loved it!

[@NYCSanman]

Since the passenger side fender is still intact you could reverse the flip to see if the fender holds up or not. Enjoying your videos. Thanks

[@tomg6214]

Love that you practice, practice, practice so that you are SAFE and efficient when out in the field on a job!!! Also, ZackLift just got another great video on the capabilities of their product to show prospective customers!

[@jaymckean3274]

Yes it should work. No it's not hard to understand. Much love and blessings to all ❤️ Stay safe everyone 🤘😎

[@tigra770]

LOVED THE OUTTAKE! i work in IT, and this came up today. 1. analyze the problem 2. come up with a theory. 3. test the theory. life and experience is all about the testing. keep up the good work!

[@TRFerron]

Saw a german towing company use special swivel hooks mounted in a special 'rim' which they mounted by unscrewing every second screw on the tire and using longer screws. So the line is outside the vehicle when it drops.

[@frank-t6857]

That's a neat technique for sure

[@towtruckaj]

That’s a lot more work than just rigging it normally and disconnecting from underneath when it’s uprighted.

[@larrybe2900]

Fine idea but having a 4x4 on the outside of the tire would/might keep off the fender.

[@whatnow5313]

How long have you been hallucinating?

[@--_DJ_--]

Was that on a light duty application? By screws, I assume you mean wheel bolts, which trucks and almost all vehicles in North America don't have. We use studs which cannot be easily removed roadside. There are a few European cars that have them, but I've never seen them on anything but cars and the odd boat trailer.

[@JAMESMT-mm6zl]

Nice rigging job. The way you walked yourself thru the process, not once, but three times, was impressive. Attention to detail is the key. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@donwilliams3626]

Watching Casey practicing recovery is like watching your team turning double plays. You don't know exactly when you will need it, but when you do - your ready.

[@JointerMark]

In my head I had switched where you anchored the spike and the lift, and until you walked through each of the lines and where they were actually anchored i was completely buffaloed on how it was supposed to work. Very impressed with your rigging thought process, thank you for the clear explanation.

[@technikschaf1574]

You might never have said you are good at what you are doing but that look really smooth. Mad respect for all who keep practicing and learning new techniques in their job.

[@truebluepatriot2739]

💙🇺🇲 I call it a win! It's always good to practice, practice, practice, safety, safety, and safety, which makes you an ace tow-er and keeps you alive too!!!😅

[@BQwain]

Thank you @CaseyLaDelle for this very detailed, very technical, and very informatively and geeky peek into your thought process. I do towing (yes, even recovery) for the USPS and as huge as our fleet is, we are only ever setup for towing. Recovery is a whole different beast and requires an entirely different mindset and group of tools. Due to our lack of proper equipment, I find myself improvising. Frequently. This vid really helps exercise the alternative thinking we need to do all the time. Keep up the Excellent work and thank you for keeping me thinking.

[@sped6954]

Once you had it all rigged up and I saw it, I kinda figured it would work. Before you cut to Grumpy, when you said you were going to get somneone very special to give their thoughts on all of this, I thought you were going to go get Riley to double check your work 🤣

[@marlar58]

I thought it was going to be Rancher Rick.

[@kenc1800]

Yes, Rancher Rick is a hoot ! He even taught Casey a thing or two!

[@cwarburton90]

That old practice bus is the best thing you may have ever bought Casey.Much respect from New Zealand.

[@marlar58]

Practice makes it "closer" to perfect. I'm sure you'll run into instances where perfect is impossible.

[@whatnow5313]

There are NO instances where perfect is possible. 😢

[@jarchie84]

Excellent work Casey!!!

[@robinmcfadden3909]

Hi Grumpy. Casey I enjoyed this. Makes sense to me. Thank you for the entertaining explanation 👏👏👏

[@Beandiptheredneck]

That second go round was flawless. Practice makes perfect

[@Mark_Bridges]

Regarding the catch line on the left front wheel: could you put a wood block between the wheel and line, spacing it out 4 or 6 inches and completely missing the fender as the bus lands on the ground?

[@billhill4479]

That's exactly what l was thinking. lf for some reason a chain wasn't available it would be a great way to protect the soft sling and possibly the fender.

[@keithcress1335]

Very nice teaching form Casey! Thanks.

[@occthequartetofcatastrophe9973]

School of hard knocks in session Professor Casey in the house😂

[@michelbrodeur6055]

You don't get good by sitting on your butt you get good by doing and trying. They also say practice makes perfect but every body knows nothing is perfect just reasonably close to it. Good work Casey

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Great way to learn and see how physics and geometry work together. Beautifully Done, Casy

[@JointerMark]

Could you place a wooden block on the rim to off set the grab line outboard of the fender? With another 4 inches the grab line may have cleared the fender but adding the block may be more fiddling than its worth? Thank you for showing the second iteration of the "whoever thought of it first" technique. I am the farthest thing possible from a recovery person but your explanations are so clear that i think i understand what you are doing well enough to ask questions. By the way, thank you for some of the towing tips you showed over the last while, i had occaision to use my pickup to unstuck several vehicles the last snowstorm we had and I would not have been as successful with out the knowledge I've gained watching you.

[@novavroomvroom3435]

Casey, you ought to make a video on how to upright a TRACKED WHEELCHAIR...!!!!

[@marlar58]

Yes, while the "dummy mean guy" is still in it.

[@fleurdelune5240]

Absolutely freaking cool!!! Great job. ❤

[@patricklunn3210]

I hope Alan is going to buy you a new sheephead since it was his rope that broke it! He'll probably want the damaged one in exchange so he can show off how good the Yankum products are.

[@dalebailey1844]

Casey needs to write a book of this subject and sell it. Keep up the good practice, it makes perfect.

[@jaimebaguyoshaircutsandvlo8838]

Good job Casey!

[@rotironwerks]

I really appreciate your ability to articulate your thoughts.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Practice makes perfect! I enjoy what you do because you always think it through. Thank you for sharing! 👌 😊

[@guygrotke8059]

There is no substitute for full-scale experimentation.

[@kenc1800]

Good morning, Casey! I enjoy your learning/teaching school bus roll-over, not that I will ever be tasked with this, BUT it sure is fun watching you work, thinking OUT LOUD and creating some cool video for YT.

[@kenc1800]

Casey, you are a natural promoter for Zacklift and Yankum Ropes. Keep on promoting!

[@markmonroe7330]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. This is exactly why you try stuff to work out any bugs beforehand.

[@carlhearn4548]

Paint the blue line hook blue !!! It was before.

[@janebarnes4449]

That second pull got a spontaneous 'Beautiful' from me. Well done.

[@dab1068]

Judging by some of the comments, I think I'm the only one commenting before finishing the video, LOL. I feel that it will work fabulously but you will get a little twist on the frame and the ass end will come down a little harder than the front, but it will work. The comments I'm reading tell me I'm probably wrong and that it worked very well according to plan.

[@Thom1973]

Hey Casey at timestamp 29:58 for the first time it was pretty darn good ...... yes the more you do it the better you will get

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

Good Explanation as you work.

[@alearn3312]

Your explanations before the pull helped me a lot in understanding your plan. Thank you! It's nice to see an expert practicing.

[@thoughtstream9591]

Grumpy!! Also hi Cassey 😂😂

[@todayletsbuild2153]

I would even add a dunnage block to that wheel sling to get it further from the fender.

[@kadmow]

- or catch off the bus body (choose one of the chassis rails)..

[@dyson9422]

It is good to see Grumpy.

[@johngookinsable]

You can solve the fender slice by exactly what you said by running the rim sling inside to outside 👍

[@andrewgilbreath1331]

Man it might not have been your level of perfection but it was smooth none the less..

[@MarkoMygun]

Nice job Smooth Operator lol

[@timmorin69]

If you keep this up, you're going to be able to say that you're good at this Casey!! lol That's a man that takes his work seriously right there!

[@throttlewatch4614]

YOU WRECKED MY FENDER !!!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Its always a good day when no one gets any life threatening injuries. Hope you had that checked out. The way you described it didn't sound all too friendly

[@jimderrick846]

Great work Casey, I have been waiting for this video after the short posted. It is always interesting to view and learn complex rigging and see it work. Keep it up man 🎉🎉

[@briane5140]

Two suggestions. I don't know how possible they would be but here you are. Could the slight movement the bus does before it gets it bite in the rollback be reduced. And second could a horizontal support be placed on the fender to spread the weight across the body when the truck is back on its wheels but not on the ground yet. Love your video's.

[@kg6mov]

The hat cam does surprisingly well when you look into the sun, on the other hand, it shortens Grumpy!

[@jamesbigham9036]

Good morning Casey you are proof practice makes perfect and shows why you are one of the best at what you do

[@BrainsofFrank]

I think you nailed it pretty good. I don't know how times you can lay a bus on its side before it's a write-off

[@mikehunt908]

Nicely done 👍👌😎

[@LTDunltd]

I was amazed by how much the bus frame twisted at the end of the video. 😮

[@douglasbrooker5834]

Casey is a creator of entertaining training videos.😊

[@mtu-engineer3220]

Keep an eye on that snatch block on the left leg, the lines entering and leaving the sheave are side loading the rope on the edge of the pulley.

[@rickbrandt9559]

Quote Steve Morris Engines "Caution You May Learn Something Fromm Watching This" -- Bruce Cook tribute Roll over recovery!!

[@danbaxter4690]

Genius! This is what makes your videos great! You explain everything well and prove yourself time and time again! Grumpy Approved!

[@danbaxter4690]

I like the idea of bringing the catch/rim sling through the outside of the rim with a piece of 6x6 blocking to help hold the sling off of and away from the fender.

[@whatnow5313]

​@danbaxter4690 Yeah, nothing could go wrong there 🙄

[@jimwest3891]

Wow!! Good job rigging on that bus!!!

[@TowMan127]

It’s always great to practice in your yard. Practicing will never make you perfect but it will always make you better. I like these videos. Maybe a block of wood between the rim and the sling so when it comes over and down it will keep the sling away from the fender as much as possible.

[@davidbreaux5989]

Practice with mistakes, learing your mistake and correcting them, final result is success. Good job

[@macgvrs]

Very creative! Looks like it works well. I am wondering if connecting the catch line further back, say to the frame under the drivers seat, would make the catch work better. Also wondering if that would cause body damage or not. Not sure if connecting that far back is a good idea or not but I was wondering about that. Anyway, fun to watch.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Great rigging job Casey. It’s so good to practice. You have some good ideas on how to make slight adjustments to make the recovery go even better. Very educational video. Thanks

[@timothyearp631]

One more thing to consider is to put a chain on the lift line where the hook is at the top of the bus that keeps the chain from sliding forward and off the front of the cab. I think you did a good job.

[@whatnow5313]

Casey, how about catching using the driver's side window support? This would eliminate the wheel/fender damage.

[@edwinschlee8374]

Like they say practice makes perfect and you are getting a lot of practice with that bus!

[@jasonmansfieldsr8645]

In the army we always have room available, or at least we train that way. Well back the wrecker perpendicular to the rolled vehicle and then use the main winch to right the rolled vehicle (using a chain from the upside wheels) and use the trucks overhead crane to “catch” the vehicle at the tipping point and let it down onto the wheels nice and easy. Overall, there aren’t any side loads. That’s peacetime. If bullets are flying, you’ll get guys that hook up the winch (same right angle orientation) and drive-pull to right the vehicle to let it slam and bounce on the wheels. It’s a much faster rig, limiting your exposure to the bad guys. Overall, nice job with the multiple part rigging! You have much more equipment available on one truck than we typically do on those 8-wheel Oshkosh HEMTTs.

[@JoshBeq]

The bus was such a great investment to try new things and expand your capabilities and trust in the equipment.

[@BestPlacetoBe996]

Casey, geometry and physics as well as common sense play a big roll in what you do and you have all of it !!! I am extremely impressed and I watch all your videos. Keep up the great work Casey!! God Bless and be safe ✝️🙏
