Illegal Parks And A Close Encounter With A Bear In Gatlinburg

[@janetswope5695]

I’m so glad you pointed out the bear…I realized I had been staring at a BUSH the whole time!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@scottshaver5495]

I finally got to see you on the streets of Gatlinburg!! I was on East Parkway, by the Clarion Point Hotel walking towards Anakeesta! I was so glad to spot you fast enough to wave. Thankfully, Kristen and you noticed me waving and waved and honked back! This was the first time to see you on the streets of Gatlinburg live! My wife and I watch all of your videos. She wasn’t with me today, she was already at the aquarium. From Kentucky ❤️

[@johnfoster8902]

There was once an old bluegrass song by Lester Flatt entitled "I Backed it all the Way to Birmingham" about a trucker in Chicago who could not turn his rig of steel around so he backed it all the way to Birmingham. I never thought it plausible until these last 2 videos of yours. If anyone could pull it off, you get my vote! Well done, ole boy.

[@EverythingAutos]

Thank you John!!

[@bfrederick1]

Kentucky doesn't require tags on trailers or boat trailers either. Jeff is the "Towmater" of tow truck drivers when it comes to driving backwards!

[@richardthomas1743]

Jeff can drive in reverse while backing up a pain in the rear short trailer better than most people can drive frontwards! Thumbs UP guys!!

[@donniehelmly4920]

My wife says the same thing about my driving....

[@pegedey1291]

You are the KING 🤴 of backing up!!!

[@kyredneck220]

BACK THAT THANG UP ! Damn that is talent son ! I have a hard enough time backing my bass boat down a busy ramp,, you da man !

[@jimmeyer824]

That bear was checking out those fancy lights on your truck. He's curious just like us, but be careful.

[@busbyadventures]

Jeff your backing skills are fantastic. You should teach a class on backing

[@geraldluque9607]

Just found your site. Relly enjoy the vids, great work ethics. Don't see that much anymore. Watching you from Pacso, Washington state

[@bobmcdoggish9659]

Congratulations! Once the storage fees build up to the value of a used and abused trailer, you will have a free trailer and building materials. For a state not to require the registering trailers is insane.

[@johnjamison6082]

Jeff does have mad skills in backing!

[@allisonbrown6903]

Jeff it sucks just as bad or worse to detach a trailer on a incline with outer slope on both sides with a Harley loaded in the trailer too..your definitely got your work out for the day.

[@gatorgogo2742]

No two tows are the same!! Keep the videos coming!

[@irma1313mimi]

❤Kristen gets startled by the tree, but so calm there’s a bear 😮 😅 😂😂

[@jimmeyer824]

No way, backing up a trailer in your situation under your conditions, wow you need a star on your safety vest

[@tamsjoint9402]

Gravity sucks when trying to load a trailer on a mountain. Great job guys (and bear). Best wishes from Scotland. Pay to park!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@keithsanders2792]

Gatlinburg bears are getting so used to humans. Years ago it was rather rare to see one in town. Well Jeff & Kristen, I guess you will now be the owners of an equipment trailer with construction junk. Aren't you all the lucky ones! 😄

[@kinsley7777]

that trailer ... good grief 🤦‍♀️ the way it was loaded I'm guessing that they had no intention of hauling it of of there ... btw, enjoying binging your channel ... and, the Mrs looked particularly lovely 🌹

[@mistycunningham6772]

Omg what a beautiful property...enjoy it...or sell it for millions and by a Rv and travel...whatever you do..enjoy life and thankyou for you father service to the community 🙏

[@RobertMurray-b1e]

Awesome backing skills!!! Comment about hitching the trailer, I was unhitching my rv on uneven site, had chocked the tires, as it came off the ball it started to shift! I immediately dropped it back on the ball and told my wife we’d find a different site! Scary moment indeed!!

[@pklaws455]

BEAR! BEAR! I love those illegal parks. The couple with the Jeep was really nice. I understand their situation. Yes, that trailer was crazy. Great job again guys.

[@neesiecarman9674]

Mad backing skills! I love how you two can work together. If I had to have worked with my ex, they would still be looking for the body. Also appreciate how kind you are to those folks that don't deserve it.

[@jimboy819]

These are the videos I enjoy are the ones when you tow people. They all seem to have an excuse for it. I'd like to see more of your faces in the videos. Keep up the towing.

[@nancystewart2063]

Another great video. I can't believe that those people were walking outside knowing the bear was that close.

[@michaelshepperd1844]

Just started watching your videos. You are so down to earth and honest. Anytime you are in Wears Valley stop by and see us at GSM Outfitters. We will always give you 20% off on any regular priced merch. Just remind us when you stop by and introduce yourself. We have the best brands and we are always well stocked for winter and summer. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

[@IrishLincoln]

Yup, when a curious bear gets curious, then start clapping and yelling. Arms up and yell. The Gburg bears are so desensitized though. When I was at the Convention Center they used to get in the compactor all the time. We'd throw fire crackers out the back door to frighten them off. Always a problem there until they remodeled. I'm not sure they go down the ramp now or not.

[@Bama1963]

Unless you pulled it slowly I don’t see how that trailer didn’t fishtail real bad with no tongue weight. Thanks for another great video.

[@kyrangerman519]

You should have heard me holler when you stuck your fingers under that hitch! I've come close to losing fingertips when hooking up boats for customers. Whew! Excellent trailer backing job! Short trailers are the hardest to back...

[@reedschumacher7494]

I lived in the Adirondack Mountains for 12 years and one night a bear was getting in our neighbors garbage and the neighbor shot the bear and so it was wounded and we didn’t know that the bear went just behind our house and went down the hiking trail and disappeared so it was a good thing our neighbor saw us going towards the hiking trail for a walk and yelled for us to stop and not go back there until the game warden found the wounded bear and took care of the bear so no one would get hurt I wish we had the bear spray back then as an added protection and again I enjoy your videos alot and still marvel how talented you are Jeff and how great a team you both are keep up the good work and don’t let those people that choose to ignore the no parking signs get to you I would love to ask them if they payed to rent a parking space so they had a place to park when they had to get to their job and someone parked in the space what would they do would they have who ever parked in their space towed or would they let it go and try and find somewhere else to park and there are more than enough signs and it’s not your fault they got towed it was the security guard that called you for removal and you always call the police department and tell them that you towed the car or truck or van from where and who called you for removal so the police department knows what you are doing and where the car is located and if it wasn’t legal like those illegal parked people say then the police department would stop you and since your not doing anything wrong it’s the illegal Parker that’s doing something wrong they have absolutely nothing to complain about especially when they park so close to the sign and no matter what anyone tells them they should go by what the sign says and go somewhere else to pay to park

[@patcarden3028]

Hey, I bet the Bear also was a fan and watch your channel and was just coming over to tell you too. You two are the best, take care.

[@janetswope5695]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. I bet you’re RIGHT!!!!

[@alantillman588]

Enjoyed the video Jeff and Kristen. Here in North Florida i've only seen black bears in my yard around November out where i feed the deer. So far they haven't done any damage , but they sure give me an uneasy feeling. Nice job on backing the small trailer Jeff , i think backing a small trailer is more difficult than a longer one. You guys stay safe out there.

[@donniehelmly4920]

Where in North Florida. I live in North Florida. Born and rasied in Palm Valley. In the 60s we use to hunt black bear here.

[@robervin9107]

The trailer was interesting because it was on lazy lodge and the people were to lazy to move it out of the way. Unbelievable Also Jeff good job handling the bear. You protected Kristin and us lol. I love how it stood up and was like it that Jeff and Kristin. Yes I think it is let me walk by I’m nervous to say hello or shy lol this video was epic.

[@woodworker2424]

Another great video and job well done with the trailer. Jeff you drive better going in reverse then some people can going forward.

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

I'm coming to Ogleburg to find Spot #30 so I can get towed to your place and come meet y'all!

[@hpdedude814]

Looks like you have a new trailer

[@ninjatuna317]

I second that. It is your trailer now. Use and keep or sell as you see fit.

[@greggbala6686]

Nice bear! I remember seeing that utility trailer at your place a couple of days after you picked that thing up! 👍

[@dalewood6766]

Great job Jeff and Kristen I'm Surprised the Jeep Customer wasn't mad and was real nice Business and the one's you backed out real good job. I know the Single axel trailer's are hard to back up sometimes but you and your Wife like always doing a Great Job. Be safe out there and keep the Videos going.

[@camishaffer9322]

I can’t believe how well you do in reverse

[@amandaboynton3295]

Another awesome video. I had a back procedure on minds and have been in a lot of pain but your videos put me in a good mood so thank you!!!

[@rogerokelley]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@debbycolflesh7892]

You guys never have a dull moment. Always enjoy watching.

[@steveley8030]

I heard you state that you were a good backer. You've figured out that backing up a trailer is like dealing with your spouse. If you turn your wheel opposite oc the way you want to go, you'll do fine!.

[@BackTrackHooligans78]

Good Job Guy's keep up the great work. Sevierville's A team on the Job Ready to Back anything you got.

[@cadence4527]

A little advise, check the sprayer occasionally and make sure it works.

[@ritewayempire]

Really enjoyed the video. Couldn't imagine walking around knowing a bear is close but great job

[@tinamarie264]

Going backwards it looks like ths jeep is pulling the tow truck 😂

[@Kats4Brekkie]

Love watching your tows and recovery jobs! What music do you use for the end sections. I really like it, and would like to get ahold of the full piece of it.

[@teressawright353]

Love your videos. Stay safe .

[@bobbyjoe225]

good to see with no cap

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands . I think you're going to be the new owners of a trailer with a lot of dilapidated mess on it . thanks for the video EA-Team . Sincerely Hollandduck

[@jimbouk4131]

Reversing king that was some great driving.

[@ichidragon4546]

Just found out that this year’s Shades will be the last one. I’ll miss the strip. Hope to see you in Sept. I need a hat…

[@kelliwhipkey8137]

Happy belated birthday Jeff we love the videos

[@henryhankwarrenyohe2541]

Kentucky has the same problem with unregistered utility trailers.

[@seabliss22]

You know I did my happy dance when I saw Bear in the title ☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@SummEr0614]

Lol looks like you all got you a new used trailer then what it looks like to me!

[@dianeenlow123]

Great video once again

[@ThomasKent1346]

At least it wasn't a Grizzly bear: "The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter. They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge. Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away. It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat. Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper."

[@sheilamartin3464]

Great video guys!

[@everythinglife7743]

Im dying to pet addy through the screen with that sweet head down pet me please posture :))

[@johnvincent7509]

that fox body in the shop ❤

[@ChrisJones-nu6cu]

Looks like you guys got some building supplies and a new trailer if they don't claim it

[@frankoscar5741]

I still think Jeff backs up better than going forward. He drives pretty good forward too.

[@kathyhoot7277]

My friend and her family rented a cabin and the oldest granddaughter saw the bear in the truck. She said her SIL went for the gun, her daughter went after the toddler. Granddaughter came running with bear spray! Everyone thought of different stuff at the scary point. They were fine and she only had scratches where the bear got the hand sanitizer in the console! I keep thinking about your safety when it's dark. Stay safe!

[@jackiewarner5896]

You are amazing!

[@HariKarier11]

I like the rebar caps. At least you won't cut yourself.

[@jeannettekane6950]

damn you can really drive in reverse man. i can t even back out of a parking spot at the grocery store with out a spotter. ya i do not drive much any more.

[@lorieharris7691]

Wow!! To close for comfort lol go away bear

[@andrewhaenel9732]

Tennessee isn't the only state that trailers don't have to be registered. Wisconsin is one as well.

[@staceygiometti9680]

Crazy Trailer Story, Guessing They Were Hoping It Would Get Stolen. No Lock, Parked Stupid & The Hitch Sitting On The Ground Not On A Block Or Anything.

[@Inigo_The_Son]

Not only does the trailer owner not know where to park; he also doesn't know how to load a trailer. All the weight was behind the axel.

[@SummEr0614]

They have the same trailer laws in Kentucky as well

[@r.f.richardsonjr5691]

Maybe the car belongs to the bear and he wants to pay the drop fee 😆

[@michealcain6053]

That's a nice little trailer. I would hate to see the release price

[@TowMan127]

🐻 just wanted to say hi 😂

[@russketcher5400]

I'm 72 years old i used to could backup like Jeff but those days are gone 😢

[@scooterlawson]

@Everything Autos.. can you make a small video on your mustang if u dont care please?? i would love to know and see more about it..and maybe a small drive video in it?....i love the old foxbodys

[@smokymountaincabinrentaltours]

We own a place near Pigeon Forge , Tn we have had it 9 years but , I visited a few times a month for 23 years and I have never seen a bear any where yet in The Great Smoky Mountains ! I will jinx myself I know . I’m all over The Great Smoky Mountains doing my cabin tours so it’s just not that it’s the area I am in cause I’m all over the place . We also have our home place back in Rural Southeast Ky we have the Appalchian Mountains there as well and the other night a bear was on my dads porch in Ky with cubs he actually walked outside on it. Then at my moms house in Ky right next door another Bear visited a bigger one:. Then two years ago another was outside my home in Ky walking down my fence line . Anyways in total I’ve seen about 30 in Ky lots on Pine Mountain , Ky while visiting family and just out and about.along side of the roads a bunch on pine Mtn , Ky . Glad you all are safe ! I can live without seeing one in Tn though lol I’ve had enough encounters in Ky . It just amazes me how many is in Ky the fish and wild life repopulated them in Ky because , they basically died out of our area we had a handful left and they are back in booming numbers . Now Jeff wait and see if I don’t tell ya I seen a bear in Tn cause I know now I will saying I have never lol

[@T1987-c6w]

I need to get a t shirt next time I come up!

[@pooch7607]

Jeff, I guess the trailer is yours now. They don't want to pay for it!

[@janetswope5695]

I wonder why the Edelweiss renters didn’t park in the number corresponding to their unit? They said they were renting the one next door? Just curious.

[@jamesrogers6376]

Blocks go under the tail when u park it.

[@Chris38908]

Hoa should have known whoever did work up there on their building lol that’s probably why they left it couldn’t get it back on their vehicle. lol

[@earthlifeus1656]

Just a bear, like it's just a bird.

[@raylocke8609]

Hello , from Horseheads, NY. Hope you guys are staying cool.. So you now own a utility trailer. If they don't want to pay the bill. How's that going to work in the long run??

[@cornerstone403]

All the other folks I see on KZbin, to get a bears attention, say "Hey, Bear! Hey, Bear!!

[@lisawilson5662]

Thanks for sharing! No crazies!! lol Just curious if you have noticed a slight decrease in visitors lately??? Was down there couple weeks ago and thought traffic and crowds were a little less. Whats your thoughts? Have a great week!! :) :)

[@EverythingAutos]

It’s definitely been a little slower.

[@johnbourgeois1414]

Good job on the bear situation, if I ever have to spray a bear it will be with lead! I enjoy watching I’ve seen them all!

[@jtrain100179]

I have been told to make loud noises to scare the bear off.

[@garychelf9359]

Looks like you own that trailer lol

[@invictusbp1prop143]

That little furry fella probably been getting fed by more than just the dumpsters around there…

[@ilovemeidastouch]

do you get paid by person who calls an illegal park in if when u get there the person is no longer parked there?

[@corvettegirl5074]

So watching this video 2yrs later, what happened to the trailer, it says they didn't want to pay to release it

[@leehamm9784]

Love illegal parking!!!!

[@saras4181]

It always amazes me when people park/leave their vehicles on someone's property without permission. Seems like it would cause great worry! Great video!

[@corvettegirl5074]

Maybe the reason they left the trailer there was because they couldn't hitch it

[@ironmanonaninja3025]

Commercial/business trailers are "supposed" to be tagged and registered.

[@jfaber99]

Another great video. Truck is sounding a lot lot louder in this video. Different muffler?

[@EverythingAutos]

Nope same old stuff, but would love to delete it soon.

[@masterofreality1552]

Lol,BUSTED.He parked on her property for 3 days because it broke down,yet they drove it away?I know you have alot of experience,but be careful feeling around a trailer hitch and ball like that.I was standing next to a guy when trailer dropped at that exact moment and he lost a finger.
