I know its an older video on your list Ron, but I stumbled on it today. Want to say I how glad I am to see you teaching your boy rite about hard work, clean living, respect, and the roots of America. Hats off to you sir.

It surprises no one that your son wanted to learn from working with his Dad during summer break months. Like Father, Like Son. Obviously you are proud of him, justifiably so. Many youths want to lie in bed, play video games and accomplish nothing during summer break. Summer break is simply a break from school, not a break from life or responsibilities or growing as an individual. It appears your son will also be a good, honest, sincere, respectful, trustworthy and hard-working gentleman - you and your Dad teach by example. You are raising a wonderful son/man. We need more role models like you.

Most kids today don't know what a good day of work is. Glad to see someone teaching their kids about hard work instead of letting them play games all day, getting in trouble, and just being lazy. Parenting done right. When I was his age I was pulling mainline, hooking chokers, and driving a log skidder in the woods. God bless you Ron and your family.

It's a blessing to see your son out of the truck helping instead of staying inside on a telephone or i-pad like so many are allowed to do. A good dad will teach/show his children by example and insist they pay attention and learn by doing. Build a strong work ethic and it will follow you always.

Not an edge-of-your-chair thriller, but interesting to see how it's done - and the story has a happy ending. Again I'm impressed with your high-tech equipment and the fact that it looks carefully maintained. Even if your son ends up in some other field of interest, the memories of working with his dad will be with him forever.

Awe, this reminds me when my brother would be out of school for the summer and he would go with my dad on trips. My father hauled steel. Then when he was old enough he ended up following in my dad's footsteps! I also went on a few trips with my brother. Instead of driving a truck I ended up being a bus driver! 😀

Amazing father figure! Teach your kids a trade and what hard work involves! My grandfather built his own machine shop, past it off to my dad and he showed me and my older brother "the ropes". Instead of getting worked up/mad when your kid did not shovel in the places you hoped, you explained why and in a calm voice! Well done! Father of the year is Ron Pratt!!

Ron as a former light med and repo operator and former wreckmaster certifed operator your videos bring back the best years of my life. I can feel through your videos your adrenaline and how your mind is working when you arrive on scene. Your ability to asses the situation and put into action a safe and thought out execution of each recovery. The best video was the MOSD one that hits home because it's why I left towing, I was hit on interstate 78 in NJ and nearly paralized because of a reckless driver. Please be careful out there, and May God always keep you safe. I wish all the best to you and your family both of them. Take Care Ron. #thethinyellowline #moveoverslowdown.

What has happened to me? I was leaving to go to the grocery store. I received notification Ron has a video up. No way could I leave LOL.. Good deal this was in day light. Just had liquid sunshine. Hello Ethan! God Bless, be safe.!

You are very patient and understanding with your son. It's nice to see. He is going to start to understand all this in leaps and bounds in the next few years. Right now a lot of it is a mystery and it's hard for young ones to see the big picture at that age and once they do see the big picture, the stuff they are asked to do makes more sense and they do it without being asked. Great attitude on both sides. God Bless.

Awesome that you are passing your experience down to the next generation. Pls let him know we appreciate his desire to learn the trade for he will be one of a rare breed of safe recovery specialists. This video brought back so many memories from when I did recovery operations for the 1st Armored Division in Germany. Great job.

Thank you so much for the supportive comments. Ethan is now 14 and is just beginning to learn. He is timid, but has a desire. I am glad these videos are bringing fond memories for many viewers of their own childhoods. God bless and thank you for your service.

Another fantastic recovery in a tight spot. Ethan did his part, and it was a great job. :) Methinks your mirror buttons may have slightly shorted out after getting wet, hence the weird acting mirror. Been there, done that. :) Thank you for taking the time to record this, as this is informative, and kind of fun. Most days, it makes me wish I was about 30 yrs younger, so I could learn how to use one. :) Stay safe and can't wait until the next installment of "A Typical Day with Mr. Pratt" ;)

I think you may be correct that the mirror buttons got some of the dampness in them. Things seem to have taken care of themselves now. Thanks for such positive comments and for continuing to support my channel through your views and input. I am so glad you still are enjoying the videos. God bless.

I could do the same even with a trailer, its a matter of matching speed and minor corrections, not turning more than needed to keep straight as overdoing it would lead to well I am sure you can imagine.

Yesterday i went out of town, for work we went down a road which is quicker than going the main road, we seen a coach lying on it,s side in a paddock, this was good encouragement to get there SAFE and Sound, better to be SAFE and get there in one piece! I guess a tow truck will have to recover the coach, i HOPE NO ONE WAS HURT!!

Words from Canada: Not only a heavy tow expert, but a special fother tyo yur son also! Kudos both of you! Nathan knows what real work is, so when times get tough he will not likely flag! That may also be well beyond both our times,but it does us good to see it! Nathan: you'/re lucky to have a father like that! all to many young people don't! Also you take well to it, that's to YOUR credit! Bruce M.

I'm proud of both my kids. My daughter is married and works with us. My son is still in high school, but loves going out on jobs with me. He hates going out on the interstate jobs, because I won't let him get out of the truck due to the dangers of being out on the interstate. He wants to be out there helping so bad. All in due time. Thanks for watching and God bless.
