I Scratched Ol Blue, 3 Trys To Do A Job

Early on a Sunday morning I got a call about a person stuck at the end of 10 Mile Wash. They had sent out an satellite SOS to their emergency contact. So I headed in with Ol Blue to get them. I was told it was a Dodge Pickup that was stuck. So I figured I needed something to possibly lift and had some weight. So in I went. I knew there would be some trees and bushes and I would probably end up scratching the new paint, but it was gonna happen eventually, so be it. Turns out it was a large rock that stopped me cuz I couldn't fit. So we ran back to town to get the Scrambler. While the Scrambler fit and made it down to the vehicle it didnt have the weight or the rigging to get it out from how deep it was stuck. So since it was way after dark, we called it and went back to town. The following morning we loaded the guys and 2 rigs up and went back in. This time with an extra vehicle and more rigging we got it unstuck and drove it out. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

I was just talking to my son who lives out west, and he was complementing you on your defense of the trail net work and our responsibility to always do the right thing so we can’t be accused of the other.

[@thelonewrangler1008]

People who don't choose to do the right thing are why we all can't have nice things. Pat yourself on the back for raising a kid that not only does the right thing but also recognizes and appreciates when others do the same. That's a compliment that I unfortunately can't give to a lot of parents today👏🇺🇲

[@kevbev1524]

Most people want to do the right thing, it's the additives that mostly change a person's perception of the moment and situation that makes intentions turn into laxadazical follow through for a positive outcome and overall well manored finally.😢❤

[@regmcguire5582]

I had to stop watching Robby, it has become a running product advertisement. Matt isn’t as bad, Fab Rats still awesome as well

[@mudfun3703]

@@regmcguire5582 Matt sold his soul to Hollywood a long time ago. Haven't watched any of his videos since they had the stupid fishing video game. Advertising froze up my phone. I only watch trail mater and BSF recovery. And of course, dirt Billy Deluxe.

I still like fab rats, and Casey’s off-road recovery is good- just who he is no ads or other nonsense

Mike, "I bet Rory's freezin" Shawn, wicked laughter. That's yer boyz, Rory!!

[@UncleManuel]

Nah Rory, those markings are called "pinstripes". They make an old paintjob even better! 😂😁😜

[@scotthastings5794]

That hurt when the paint was scratched, but Respect for not letting the paint stop you from using Ole Blue for what you built it for.

"I got scared" (at 16:32). Mike's quick wit is so good.

[@clivewilliams3661]

Don't worry about scratches to Ol' Blu because they are earned battle scars, which far from distracting adds to the credibility.

[@firstlast8603]

Shawns laugh gets me laughing every time. You guys are the same personalities as my friends and I. Always having a good time regardless of the situation.

The first scratch is tha hardest, we know it is a work truck and you know the limits of your riggs. Great job

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

Mike pulling a Trevor move out of the buggy and then shortly after saying;"...... it was an optional delusion." Were the too funniest things I've seen and heard all week!!!!😊😅😂

Moab pin stripes. The sign of a champion. On older vehicles, they are also known as smile lines. Ol' Blue has had many smile events.

[@HammerPowered]

Now you don't have to take Ol Blue up to Pritchett, although I'm sure it the situation calls for it you would anyhow. Got that scratch situation taken care of....lol. Great points on the use of a kinetic rope in this situation. They have their use, but times like these it's not the best tool to use to recover a vehicle.

[@chrisprattt]

Need to have a segment called…(Lessons with Rory) 🤣🤣👊

[@DonPerry-nx4sr]

great post gentlemen...Rory's comment about the Gandalfy rock "you shall not pass" is the funniest thing that I've heard for a long time 🤣🤣

[@doggonedk]

You guys know the tire trick for getting lift on a pull like that. When you stand a tall spare rolled up to the stuck vehicle and loop your tow cable over top of it to get some lift. I'm sure you do. In some cases it works in others it just gets in the way. But it works when you have no other way to lift. You guys I swear are a regular comedy trio. It's great to work with close friends like that and have that much fun at work. Outstanding video as usual keep up the great work!

[@Kevin-go2dw]

I saw this method many years ago and am surprised that I have not seen it on a recovery channel.

[@robinredman5192]

Time 8:57 and Mike performs a head Forward, Tuck Dive with a Degree of Difficulty of 100 and, wait for it, yes!, he receives a score of 9.5 %, an almost perfect Dive except for the landing, which was a bit rough in its execution. The crowd goes wild!!!! Thanks for taking us along and great catch Shawn 😅🤣😂. Y'all take care and have a blessed Christmas. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

[@kenmurray4232]

Scratches on Old Blue just give the wind a direction to go. Howling Wolf did a great job on the paint. He did say he expected scratches. Beautiful country to work in even in the cold. Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine. Thanks for sharing.

[@robinrapport8728]

Those aren’t lectures you give, it’s good useful information for everybody. They’re only lectures for the people that are dumb enough not to listen to somebody else’s suggestions. And listening to suggestions doesn’t mean you have to follow them but at least you listened.

[@Telephony954]

It might be green on the outside, but she's blue at heart. don't fret the scratches, they will buff right out. Be well.

[@jlyonsden3677]

Instead of " Man Down" , it was " Mike Down". Poor Mike is always the one taking one for the team. As far as Ole Blue, she is a 'Work Truck". Not a Pavement Princess. Could Rory have listened to them when they said bring the Buggy. Yes but Rory does Rory and Rory will always error on the side of Rory and should. His odds are pretty damn good. I'll take his odds every day. The Man is a Legend. If you ain't following this channel, then get left behind. You're truly missing out. This channel is doing it bare knuckle style and I like it. You guys are as good as meat and potatoes. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 to you and your families and thank you for your services. 🤟✌️✝️🇺🇸 Merica

Rory, we absolutely love it when you show the scenic shots like that. It's the only way we get to see any of Utah. You and the crew do fantastic videos, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful

[@edchenal821]

Hooded cotton sweatshirts and polar fleece don't cut the mustard when you're in an open vehicle in cold weather. Nylon or canvas type material as an outer layer works better for the cold. You guys need an outdoor clothing outfitter as a sponsor. Keep up the Good Work.

Sorry to see those racing stripes on ole' Blue. Of course we all knew it wouldn't be long before the trails reached out and grabbed a victim. Third try is charm! Thanks for sharing.

I love this channel no bullshit editing just the real good content and you and your team the best hooligans. Always totally shearing the wealth of information.

I would have stayed blue on blue OR gone NEON GREEN. That would have been cool. But your classic look is good too. Your truck. I bet you get get it out and nobody dies. 👍

[@homegrownson]

It is still a work truck and you are still magical bringing out many Vehicles that go places they dont belong, because of those people going places they shouldnt be anyway, to do the Work there will always be scratches or you are more interested in keeping her pretty then getting the Job Done. Keep Doing what you do so well, even if old blue getting scratched

[@drwright2006]

That looked like a fun road to travel and scenic to boot.

My brother's would like to wish you and your families happy holiday.I also would like for you to know you guys are awesome role models for our kids. Thank you

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

This is an example of where a big airbag underneath would provide lift over a large area and the Jeep might have been able to pull it out if the suction could be broken... In theory. It's also a great example of why Rory doesn't have to carry as much recovery equipment because his experience has taught him well.

[@shirleyallen6072]

What a Trail Mater SCOUT MASTER and his dedicated committed team Mike & Shawn are very SPECIAL people! I can't imagine OFF ROAD RECOVERIES without you!!! Thank you for such great video and commentary and those SHAWN laughs when most of us would be crying or ??

[@WS102]

I knew of a guy who bought a custom Radon commercial fishing boat on the Central Pacific Coast. These boats are highly desired and very expensive. He ran it up onto an oyster bar and scratched the hell out of the hull on the first day out and nobody could believe he did that. He said something along the lines of, "It's a work boat, now I can feel comfortable using it." Rory definitely gets it. Use your equipment, it can always be rebuilt and repainted.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

Was kind of a battle to get out there. That mud with the thick crusty layer on top was wicked. Levering it up with the rollcage was a good idea. Having great equipment is important, the knowledge and creativity to make it work only comes with experience. You guys really know your business. Fun to watch! Twisting and gerryrigging the steering column made me smile...

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

The wonderful part of winter is you can just wait until the mud freezes to get out.

[@brockryan3405]

8:53 What a team player! Mike went for immediately for the soil inspection! That wasn't a slip up.

[@treverwhetzel9603]

Why can't Rory have nice things? It was just a matter of time until Ol' Blue got its first paint scratch. Too bad that time was basically within the first 10 minutes after getting it back, and all for naught as it turned out. Now you can use it with reckless abandon from here on out. Glass half full philosophy. Thanks for the content!

[@randypurtteman1183]

I , as a member of the recovery industry for more than a half a century, must commend you on you talent.

[@MarkoMygun]

Boy good thing that mud was frozen, or that recovery could have been a lot harder. Fine job guy's and thanks for the video.

Looking at a vista and trying to take a picture of that same vista are two very different things. The camera does not replicate what your eyes see. Yep, you got pinstripes on Ole Blue and didn't have to pay for them. Great video.

I always talk about Rory’s driving and spotting skills but Mike and Shawn are both skilled drivers and spotters. I think sometimes they get overlooked because they are so understated . Driving,spotting, rigging and mechanic skills, Rory was right ,Trailmater is the A Team of off-road recovery.💪

[@pmkstudios]

Still calling the green painted blue truck blue is classic! Could you have run the front winch over the roll bars to the back to get the required lift? That Ram definitely seemed to be a bit oversized for where he ended up but the skills you have to get them back out is always impressive. "If you would have made it you would have had it you were there" almost deserves its own Tshirt.

[@edwinschlee8374]

Old Blue was eventually going to get scratched no matter where you took it! like Walmart where someone runs a cart into it! Third time was a charm and you got it out!

It takes me back to Saturday Matinees and cowboy movies. I love how you are protective and respectful of the environment you live work and play in. Keep up the great content but electrical tape?
