[@eddiewatts7792]

always fascinated by recovery work. a proper challenge of conditions and physics

[@Georgiee.and.Dan.]

Just what I need 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great content as per been waiting for this all day

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Waheyyy glad you enjoyed it!! 😎

[@Georgiee.and.Dan.]

Yeh little lad loved every minute

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

In the army we used a anchor set consisting of a plate with six holes either side and one meter pins were driven in at 45 degrees you could ad more plates and in different patterns depending on the ground and winch from them

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Yes that's right I have seen them before, we have similar stuff for light recovery and ground anchors, heavy is a subby we use locally, there work load is mainly bus and coaches but they help us out on some jobs round here, so not geared up for 24.7 off road recovery etc like some others may be! thanks for the watch

[@liamdowner1883]

Loved that different aspect of recovery that you can't normally cover, looking forward to seeing more of fraud winter jobs for the jeep and some transit tilt and slides!

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Wahey glad you enjoyed, yes not my everyday job but I do sub at least a few a month out in different areas! BUT this one was local so thought would create a video for you all, winter is going to be FUN for us, not for the customer obviously!

[@125sm3]

Wow, what a recovery, glad I am not paying the bill for that one. Also wouldn't fancy being that lorry driver when he gets back to the boss lol.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Its the real world, s**t happens, tomorrow is another day, can always be worse! Thanks for the watch!

[@neilthomas4407]

Great job Greg,well done. That's the trouble with an 8 wheeler,one those front axles sink,your buggered! Well thought out on the winching side,a Holmes tree,or stump in this case always comes in handy. Satch blocks certainly saved the day too. That DAF wrecker had a tidy wheelbase on her,not the best for confined spaces,respect to Kev! Stay safe,here's to the next one.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Yeah doesn't take much, absolute zero weight on the drive axles aswell, if he was loaded I think he could of got him self out! , I wasn't very confident on that stump with how low it was cut, but once I cut a groove in the stump and used a chain no bother at all! , Took ages packing the winch lines back in / carrying the kit! , Yeah that dafs got good equipment on it long reach underlift for coaches and buses that's there main bread and butter! , Thanks for the comment! Catch you on the next one!

[@karlsmith242]

Hi pal great video yet again like always love watching them All good fun with heavy recovery

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching, catch you on the next one!

[@bensmith3613]

One of the best so far! Love it

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Glad you enjoyed, the best in winter is yet to come.

[@dansargeant2087]

C'mon Greg , almost at 10k keep up the good work 👍💪

[@Andy-pl2zg]

That looked a tough job! Especially in the dark, a high risk of H&S at its worst 😬 well done, all worked out in the end hey, great video showing the job from beginning to end 👍

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Yeah was not a straight forward one for sure! , the job always gets done ;) might need a few Andy weather updates on some of me videos come winter ;) ive seen them all!

[@budboy14]

great video @gdb rescue & recovery i had to watch it again

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Waheyyy if you enjoyed this there will be way more come the winter weather! Catch you on the next one!

[@budboy14]

@@GDBRescueandrecovery how is the mobile tyre van now you got a new engine

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

@@budboy14 Yes all is well few little things I want to change for new, but nothing major, will make a video very soon on the mobile tyre van front!

[@aerovulcanmedia]

Great start to the week beer in hand and GDB video on the tv. Great video Greg. :)

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

wahey sounds like your doing it right ;) haha catch you on the next one! Thanks again!

[@6522BLACKJACK]

Well-done Greg... not an easy one as normal a cool head and you got it done...

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks for the watch! , Very true no day is ever the same, will only get more interesting content as winter comes closer. Cool head is the best way in any operation not panicking and stressing lol else customers would have no faith in your abilities! And helps to leave us alone to do the job, nothing worse than somebody looking over you 24.7 on a job

[@jason.aldridge5004]

Very interesting wish I found you sooner. I surpose in the ideal would a couple of air bag jacks would be useful in situations like this to just lift the vehicle put sleepers or some kinda planks under the driving wheels drive out under its own power unless I'm missing something.im now subbed and be watching every uploads 👍

[@markdavison2389]

Hi greg i always look forward to ur vids great vid and keep them comming mate

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

thanks for watching and your comment i appreciate it! 😄

[@colinblackwell5059]

hi GDB Rescue & Recovery i have a question if you dont mined me asking do you still have your land rover and the isuzu and the land rover discovery or have you got rid of them and the old truck.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Evening Colin! The discovery 3 blew up, the discovery 4 also blew up. The isuzu i had a few of them! But all long sold or broken for spares! Thanks for watching!

[@gwilymjones1298]

Loved this video!! I have seen many heavy recoveries where I live but nothing like this!! Love it 😊 Just a thought, have you ever thought of buying radios so instead of having to shout and using phones etc, you can use the radios on scene?

[@alexwade9797]

Well well Greg! Brilliant video! Definitely enjoyed this one! Hgv winch out Brilliant! Although not impressed with the bloody adverts 🤬

[@utilitarian]

You need adblock if on PC

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

I control the adverts kind of like being monetised for 50p here and there, but no idea when they show or don't show like! sorry brother!

[@joshpreecepk]

This is a question not related to this video in one of your previous videos you used magnetic lights on the back of a car when you spec lifted it where did you buy these from as I’m fed up of using my light board any help would be great also keep up the great videos !

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

That is correct! go on eBay type in magnetic trailer lights! Think our brand is called Connix or something normally get about 12 months out of them before they loose sync or cables come tired from charging blah blah, I get a new set ever year ish.

[@liammckinney3345]

good video dont see much of this in the uk. but if only the driver of the 8 wheeler had put his diff locks on,

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Very true mainly USA have good HGV KZbin content, this country is very picky fussy and people judge a 10000x more, so not many of the big boys show content TBH, but I like to show we live in a real world, and things are not always straight out as they seem and there is danger in jobs to, I would like others to make content for KZbin in the uk in this industry I think its a good watch! and his diff lock was not working to begin with reckons it had a fault.... unsure can't comment any further!

[@joshuapeaker]

KEEP COMING!!! ;) Good video though mate keep them coming please 👍

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Whilst we have your comments and good reactions we will continue to post for you all! winter is coming, BEST IS YET TO COME, obvs not for the customer..... see you on the next one!

[@scotspie501douglas7]

loved the video how did it happen

[@aaronburgh1207]

Great recovery in difficult circumstances. Reminded me of Ron Pratt in the US where they used trees to right a semi trailer. Do you ever think you will go bigger?

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Ahh yeah ive seen a few of their videos before ! You often have to use trees for a good majority of heavy jobs off road TBH ! , No won't get any bigger here, been there done that had the t shirt! Previous video I uploaded before this one shows that story!

[@aaronburgh1207]

​@@GDBRescueandrecovery Thanks. Watched that now. You definitely had the T-Shirt and some!

[@timmy5521]

That was a job and half there. I’ve seen you can get screw in pilings you put in with a handheld petrol auger kind of machine. Do you think it’s something you could use to winch off ? I’ve used turfer winch’s before with ground anchors in the army.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Yes that true pins that go into ground and ground anchors and so forth we have equipment for light recovery as that's what we do and specialise in, but hgv we don't own nor specialise in house, so we don't have the equipment for that! IF we did own a hgv we would obviously have that bit extra equipment for diff scenarios! and the subby does not specialise in accident recovery they mainly do bus / coaches etc!

[@craigdoig9486]

Interesting content

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks for the watch!!

[@matthewwright9365]

Nice work Greg. But what's them 🔦 you running look mega.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Stay tuned for a cheeky video on them ;)

[@mini4x]

Can you tone down the intro music to match the audio? The intro music blasts my ears out, but they I can't hear you talking without turning up the volume, , your editing software should have some audio normalization options. Keep up the good work too!

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Noted! Not very technical at this end, I know some clips can be different from using multiple cameras will have a nosey on the next video that gets made!

[@mattholland4774]

Really enjoyed the video, must add some time on and hassle recording it?

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Was no real hassle recording this one as was on a chest cam just 2x clicks of the button, but YES I could of made video 100x better if I had somebody holding camera and getting the angles etc, this was just a quick insight really for the fans!

[@ianm4722]

How did he end up where he did in the first place Greg?

[@utilitarian]

Literally wondering this myself yet nobody but you has asked! It's like he's driven in go position himself before reversing and it's sunk

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

I think there was notes of a potential brake issue at the unload.. ( could of been worse )

[@RichardArblaster]

'ey up Greg 😎

[@danielsouthern55]

Have you got any jobs going

[@callumpatton6010]

hello Greg keep up the good work and please look at emails as sent you one

[@RichardArblaster]

This is gonna be fun 😆😆😆

@GDB Rescue & Recovery 😆😆😆

[@RichardArblaster]

How long did it take in the end to get the HGV out?

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

All varys to what part ie from when job came in or when we arrived or once everything was set up! Total from call to job complete probably 4 hours

[@RichardArblaster]

@GDB Rescue & Recovery Wow 😮

[@miketaylor1916]

Could you not of used your 4x4 as a snatch block mount and chocked it in?!

[@paulgray2387]

No wonder hgv’s only want to do kerbside deliveries!

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

100% can't blame them in certain areas and driveways etc.

[@recoverytransport3276]

To much pissing around

[@ergotot45]

Driver error! When going to tip ,always consider how you re going to get out with much less weight on your drive axles! Cannot take a tipper company that proclaims to be a logistics company seriously, come on now!

[@jamesbratton3161]

God sake u made bit of mess get your self jcb fast track would off done job more money back in your pocket

[@philipsanders5024]

So you can't go right hand down on the stuck truck, because of the metal pole??? Have another look !! Right hand down hard will move the cab away from the pole!!! Not hard to work out is it?? Stop farting about with your silly cameras and concentrate on the job !!!!
