I spent one day helping a trail crew of volunteers last Spring in Sierra National Forest. The group, Stewards of the Sierra, have been doing it for decades. It was very rewarding and I plan to do it again. The OHV staging area was closed to public for a good part of the summer due to using it as a base for fires near Yosemite.

Don’t sell yourself short on how much help you are to the PLS, as the other gentleman at the end said it was a big portion of your viewers that showed up and shared these videos just like I do, and I live in Michigan.

If those cars have not been reported stolen their owners should get fined and billed for the cleanup. I doubt pigs that dump these rigs are bright enough to find all identifying numbers.

[@aliceevans3357]

Congratulations on 100 thousand subscribers! 👏 I was appalled at how much crap you guys had to clean up and am horrified to imagine what that beautiful land would look like if folks like you didn't work to keep it beautiful. People truly are the worst inhabitants on planet earth. I hope they can sell scrap (and vehicles) to help offset the cost of keeping these areas beautiful and free for use. I'm not going to hazard a guess on how much you guys collected to throw away but I'll be horrified at the final tally. I humbly thank you and all the others that paid in one manner or another to undertake this daunting task. I enjoy seeing a video up to find what you're up to next. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@bobwoods5017]

Out riding dirt bikes long time ago & there was a pickup dirty side up! There were four if us so we stopped to watch. The owner and his buddy pulled it out and rolled right side up. Then they popped the hood, pulled the oil dip stick out. Then he pulled all the spark plugs out then went around and got into the drivers seat. My three buddies like looky Lou's and stood two on one side with one on the other while leaning into the engine compartment just as the ignition key was turned! Oil sprayed out of every cylinder just soaking my buddies! I laughed so hard my ribs still hurt 40 years later. The truck owner looked at them like they were in his way, never said a word and went on to put the plugs back in. My buddies were good guys had a lot of fun with them! I'm the only one left from that little group! Good times! Good video!

My group cleaned the trash off that silver Corolla. Best we could figure, there was another car at the next site over that might have been that black Taurus. We grabbed the safety glass and a few parts left over from a car that was removed by something with tracks. Edited to add: someone in our area stopped us to tell us their vehicle was disabled and we were free to haul it away... the cars were adding up even as we cleaned!

The people that show up for these clean-ups, are not the ones that should be cleaning it up ... but enforcement is just so difficult. That was a tremendous effort by all who participated.

A friend of mine here in California has 3 of those 6x6 X military wreckers/crane trucks. They are awesome off road when big mussel is needed. And he uses them in winter for yanking big rigs out of snow banks. When others are rigging to wench a big rig out. He hooks with a really big strap and yanks then out and back onto the road. His scene is cleared and on to the next while others are still fighting wenching from snow banks. He has used them for off road airplane crash recoveries those 6x6 trucks are big brutes and are a great tool to have

Great job by you and all of the volunteers cleaning up the forest and hopefully it doesn't get littered up again so quickly. Unfortunately as you pointed out in this video there are a lot of people who are contracted to do clean ups on a property and will charge a person for a landfill and intentionally dump the mess into a national forrest to increase their profits and rather than pay for the landfill charges. You definitely need one of those heavy tow rigs with the skills you already have you could increase your capacities for off road recoveries and add some great KZbin content. 👍
