HAZMAT HEAVY TOW... TATOR TIME WITH FAMILY

This is a long video of me using our 1150R rotator to tow a heavy box truck loaded with HAZMAT cylinders. Part of the video is simply me talking with the driver of the truck, who happens to be my cousin. Watch until the end and you will understand why I wanted my viewers to get to know him. Thanks for watching and God bless.

Several viewers have expressed interest in helping my cousin Rodney and requested that I set up a GoFundMe account. I have done so and will attach the link to the bottom of this comment. I am so Blessed to have such caring viewers!!! Thank you and God bless!!! www.gofundme.com/f/house-fire-help-for-rodney-amp-family?+share-flow-1

[@roninofindy]

Sorry for what happened. I will donate when I can.

[@stuartpulvermacher6861]

You sure can tell you guys are family, while talking in the truck ,I would bet he was your brother , you both look so much alike must be some strong genes lol

[@brianvassar2556]

Ron Pratt what caused the fire

[@mikehoncho658]

This was back in September tho, how’s he doing now that’s what I’m concerned about

[@nathanbrodeur]

Ron Pratt your cousin and his family will be in my prayers throughout this rough patch that they are going through

[@phillipjump4830]

It's always good to chat with family when you get the chance. Because life gets so busy.

[@rodneypoe]

My girlfriend and I would like to express our gratitude to everyone here that kept us in their thoughts and prayers. Through the tragic events we’ve experienced this year, the amount of help we’ve received from family, friends, and even complete strangers is just unbelievable. There are no words that could begin to express the type of gratitude we have for all of you!! The volume of help we have received is truly a blessing and really shows how many wonderful and generous people there are in the world. Thank you to all of you who have donated! Thank you to Ron for setting up the GoFundMe account and this video. Thank you to the viewer who donated the Nest detector to us, it will be the first thing connected when we purchase a new home!!

AMEN and MR. RODNEY my heart goes out to you and your girlfriend !!! TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH

[@gloriachurchill8744]

💜 much love from new Zealand, rodney and family

[@jerryburdick8051]

I really enjoyed the video. Watching you demonstrate your expertise and incredibly kind demeanor is always a pleasure and an inspiration. At the scene and during the drive back to your shop I kept thinking to myself, "Rodney sure seems like a sweet fellow." Once I saw the tragic news I first hugged my dogs and then clicked on the link. It's an honor to donate. Please share a big hug with Rodney.

[@n4gix]

Ron I am so saddened at the loss of Rodney's home and especially the three pups. Prayers going up to God as I type. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@tommax26]

Love the way Ron habitually practices excellent work habit of placing all used tools, etc. back where they belong.

[@70rosebud]

Thanks Ron for another wonderful video today, prayers to Rodney and his family 🙏😪❤️👌🏿🌸🌺

[@philipmichel215]

God Bless Rodney and his family. Thankful nobody injured.

[@nbrowser]

The things you'll always find in a Ron Pratt video, professionalism, respect and compassion. Never lose those traits Mr. Pratt.

[@sandrajordan301]

I’m so sorry for what happened to your cousin. Prayers to them.

[@averypressley6642]

Sorry for Rodney's great loss. I appreciate how you always take care of everyone even when you are on another call. That is what separates you from all the others in the business. Thanks for sharing with us. We are praying that Rodney is able to receive better than he has ever had and that God will be glorified in the blessing.

[@staceyb8783]

Prayers for Rodney & family, so sorry to hear about the fire/loss of pups!! Thank our Lord the rest of the family is safe.

[@philippenaluna2312]

Hi, Ron. Thanks for another great video. It was a pleasure to 'meet' your cousin. I'll be praying for him and his folks in the aftermath of the fire. I'm glad that there were no injuries, though it must be devastating to lose the pups and the house. God bless you all, especially Rodney and family. If God is for us, who can be against us?

[@guitarpopi06]

Thank you for introducing us to Rodney.... So sorry about their loss, but will be praying for him and family. God bless you and your crew and keep you safe during this bad weather, (01-24-2020)....

[@richardschantz98]

So sorry to hear about Rodney's misfortune. My thoughts and prayers go out for him and his family. Also like to thank you for all you do in trying to help others. God Bless you and your family

[@kylebowersox3754]

May God Bless you and Rodney!! What you did for him was a real Blessing!!! and the viewers pulled through for the best outcome!!!

[@sharonnowlin2297]

Sending prayers for Rodney and his family! It was so nice being able to see you visit with your cousin, much of what you guys were talking I had no idea, but you added commits to let us know what you were talking about. Thanks for sharing with us! Again PRAYERS for Rodney and his family!!!

[@hamrad645]

Ron, my prayers are with your cousin and his girlfriend. As a small child, we lost our home, and all our winter clothes -- we lived in Oklahoma, then Arkansas, and it was cold that first winter without our coats (which were burned). Losing a pet alone is a hard thing. A house fire is just devastating because you can never replace everything. I hope Rodney can recover from this horrible loss, I know it's hard 'cause I've been there. God bless you and your family.

[@kensherwin4544]

After first seeing you use those tail-less ratchet straps, I bought a set. I thank you all over again every time I use them, Ron.

[@Rockpil]

I bought a set also after seeing them in on of his videos. Absolutely love them.

[@michaelhyde-parker6344]

me too, I've only used them a couple of times, but very worth it.

[@MikeSmith-lu2xe]

Same here Ken...now i've got my eye on one of those Dewalt spot lights.

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

It’s always good to see someone you haven’t seen in a while. I towed a old friend of mine septic truck a while back. Never seen him in a long time. He was In the area, and called for a tow because his truck broke down. I went on over to it, and it turned out to be him. It was good catching up with him and seeing how he was doing. I towed him back to the shop and got him ready to go quickly.

[@i_junior]

It’s sad to see bad things happen to good people. Prayers to him and his family. Good thing is they weren’t home on the time of the accident. It’s good to see that there are still people out there willing to help out someone in need!!!! Let’s keep the donations coming!!!!

[@cal844]

Ron, you are such an inspiration for many of your viewers, keep up the great work and videos. Sending beat wishes to Rodney, and the rest of the family, including the Midwest team! Having a relaxing night in a cold Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@acrane3541]

Ron, thank you for sharing the valuable service you provide with us. Please give our best regards to Rodney. We hope things go well for him.

[@Bobtidbury]

Thanks for the chat with your cousin and I hope he was well insured but a great loss of the pups .

[@RonPratt]

Losing the pups was probably the hardest thing for him. Our family LOVES our pets. They are not just animals to us, they are FAMILY. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@peewee3ie]

@@RonPratt I am also sorry to hear about your cousin house fire. I know know what you mean when you have a pet that passes a way. I also love our pets and they like yours they are part of the family.

[@lordsnot2268]

Video has been up for 13 minutes, and despite being 48 minutes long there's 103 likes already. Yeah, we just love what you do.

[@ThatOldStoner]

It's awesome that a tow channel has so many subscribers!

[@13bgunbunny42]

@@ThatOldStoner I think it's because Ron is an honest man that shows respect to everybody regardless of who they are or what they believe in. He is also highly intelligent with his job and thinks things through before tackling a project. I personally like the way that he explains what he is doing and why he does it. 😊

[@dancrafton89]

We broke down in southwest Missouri and my first thought was I wish Ron was in this part of the state so I could call him. Thankfully we have a good one here in northeast Oklahoma that come and got us on Thanksgiving day while his family was having dinner. He gave us a great deal to.

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

I'm so sorry for Rodney's loss, and I'm almost crying at the loss of those poor innocent pups! :-(

[@1geisterfahrer]

Prayers for Rodney and family. The loss of pets is heart-wrenching at any time, and even greater to an incident like this. Add that to the loss of a home and personal belongings, this has to be a devastating time for him.

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

I am so sorry about Rodney's house. God bless him. I am crying right now for his misfortune and loss especially because animals were involved. I pray he makes a full recovery. Thankfully no human lives were hurt.

[@christieross2755]

Ron great to see the family side. Prayers for Rodneys family. Thank God they weren’t there. May God bless you for all you do. Thanks for all your great videos. Great to see the personal side not just business.🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

[@84953]

The thing I love about Ron is that even when he's yelling, he's not yelling. He never seems to get rattled by anything. Ron AKA "CAAC" (cool as a cucumber). LOL

Sorry about your cousin I'm a volunteer firefighter and it's hard seeing stuff like that and that's not even mine it's sad my prayers are out to your family

Sorry to hear about Rodney's home. He sounds like a pretty cool guy. Prayers for him and his family. On another note, I appreciate how you explain what you are doing int these videos. I was a truck/trailer mechanic for over 30 years and understand what is going on. My wife loves watching your videos with me and knows nothing about vehicles or recovery. You give a good understanding of it all. Thanks again and God bless you, your family, your employees and business. Rick

So sad to see this happen to him. Wish I could've donated 1,000x more! I do know that God will help him and his family get through this tough time. We can always count on you, Ron, to do God's work!

Ron, I agree with you at the end of the video about your phone. I have an S10 and it forces updates without my permission. Also, God Bless Rodney with the terrible tragedy that unfolded. I would hate to lose a dog in a fire, let alone 3. Let him know i am praying for him. He is a great guy!

I know that Ethan will watch, observe and take to heart all you're teaching him. I'm sure that he'll do well. Again, thoughts and prayers for your cousin, Rodney.

[@llloyd4]

Wow. Yeah, been there in the '94 Northridge quake here in So Cal. The important thing is that no one was killed, property can be replaced, lives can't. May God provide him what he needs and, in time, through faith, provide him a 10 fold bounty just like He did for Job.

[@delandbrooks3291]

Great Vid Ron, I really enjoyed the visit with Rodney. My cousin who I had only seen a couple of times (other than funerals) called me a couple of years ago. We're just a few years apart in age but had never taken a road trip together. We drove from Seattle W. to Austin Tx for our first road trip together in our 60's. Nothing like having some time to really connect with family.
