I have to watch Ron every Friday. His videos are always good, he shows the good in people, he always helps with no fuss, he explains things he is doing unless he is in a hurry. Then there is how professional he is, his skill with his equipment and he teaches things. So, weather he is fishing for fish with a rod and reel or fishing for cars with the Rotator, this channel is always wholesome, Christian and just all around awesome. That, like me, could be why you are here every Friday and every other day he releases a video.

One thing I noticed in this video is that is very important to me as a former Towing & Recovery Operator along with being a member of the volunteer fire service and my favorite. A 10 year member to my local emergency service department as an EMT. I noticed some of the first responders had their backs facing traffic. I was hoping someone would notice that and mention that to them it’s always important to have your eyes on the traffic coming at you especially while working on a busy road way such as the one in this video. Great recovery and so great seeing Terry back at it!!
