I Almost Didn’t Make It

We got called out to recover a damaged trailer on the Toquerville falls road.
We picked it up with the jeep and the off-road trailer and took it down to pavement where we transferred it to my Freightliner, rollback, tow truck.
Next we got called out for a razor that had become stuck and damaged at the Sand dune‘s.
We were just about to the scene when the customer called to cancel the call. We decided to head up to the dunes and check out the conditions anyway, since we were so close.
After talking to a few people we decided to head back and I drove over a dune that had a hidden rock on the other side. And I become stuck for a moment while many people watched.
I thought I was going to have to call for help for a few moments. But I was able to maneuver the Jeep around the rock and past a sketchy situation until I made it out.

[@EvanMoon]

We all enjoy stories and every video is a miniature story. We get to go on an adventure with him and we do not know what he will find. There’s that tension about whether he will get stuck or will he be able to get the vehicle out. We were created to want to hear stories and to tell our stories. That’s what we watch these videos and then tell others about these videos. The biggest story is about how Jesus came to earth And rescued us by dying on the cross, but there is not a good video about it so we won’t want to watch it.

It always makes me nervous when the dogs are out. Obviously they're pretty aware and used to it, and Matt is watching for them, but other drivers might not be. Never know when a side by side is gonna fall 30 feet out of the air and cartwheel for 100 feet right?

Ok Matt, since it´s obvious that you have plenty of experience and are a very good driver, I have an idea for your channel: How about you give us small tips while recovering cars? what to do and not to do in the situations you find. I´ve been stuck in the mud once or twice; since there are no recovery services in my country, on one occasion I was forced to leave my truck in a mudpit for the night. For example explain how to avoid getting stuck on a particular situation or how to get out if you are alone.

[@romeo2473]

Common sense is the best thing available. Like don't push you 2wd SUV (hiunday tucson) on heavy offroad trails where you would have troubles even walking. Most important rule in snow and mud, once you're moving don't stop if it's not urgent. Secondly don't overspin the tires and create a rocking movement, shift in drive gently press the accelerator, quick shift in reverse press the accelarator. Balancing back and forth will help you a lot. If this does not help, call Matt!

[@flybyairplane3528]

Romeo hello, I SEE YOU MENTIONED COMMON SENSE, but I regret to inform you that COMMON SENSE has exited, from MOST BRAINS, this is something I have been observing for OVER 50 YEARS The MORE EDUCATED THEY Are ,,is the LEAST available, and for some, it’s like living on the edge of a RAZOR BLADE, GENIOUS/INSANITY,, Cheers from NJ. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
