Kayaking Upside Down In An Avalanche

[@stevenrichey5068]

I saw on the news here in Arkansas. where the suv hit the semi head on...(saw your tow truck.).. Sorry you had to work that wreck..while working Security and helping several of the local fire-police and state department's I have been to some bad ones. Just have to pray and work with what you have. ... Be safe.. from Steven Richey

[@RonPratt]

Yeah, the crash you are talking about was a bad one. I don't post pictures or videos of fatality accidents out of respect for the families and others involved. I have to, as I explain it....go into "auto-pilot"..., and get the job done. Worked all day yesterday with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Major Crash Team while they performed their post-crash investigation on the wreckage at our shop. It's all part of the job. Thank you and God bless.

[@stevenrichey5068]

Be safe. ..keep up the great work...

[@kevinschmidt3887]

I saw it on the news in Texas too bless you, I know how hard calls like that are.

[@Robert-bm3pb]

I take pictures of wrecks I work but I'm with you when it comes to serious injuries or fatalities I keep my phone in my pocket. I worked one on the interstate a couple months back. Construction had traffic at a dead stop. A semi truck came through full speed and rear ended a GMC Sierra and pushed it into another semi that was in front of it. It was a miracle the guy survived. He saw the truck coming and just as he got out of his vehicle it hit and he was actually drug up under the semi. Amputated hand, almost lost his arm and several other injuries. A month later he showed up at our shop in a wheel chair speaking just like normal. Someone was definitely looking out for him that night. Its dangerous out there.

Wow!!! Another fascinating episode of "Ron Pratt: Tow Truck Driver" has made it to our "silver" screen once again. Thank you for taking the time to post this, as we were all getting withdrawal symptoms from not having a video from you for a few days. So glad that the driver wasn't killed, even though he was injured. Guardian angels were hard at work with this gent. Prayers have been sent for his speedy recovery. God Bless you and your family.

I think what I like about towing so far is any trip out is never the same, weather it's a simple hook and go or an accident, it keeps you thinking and interesting. Stay safe !

[@hfraat25]

I watch a lot of your videos. As I did this job for a while both cars and trucks in the UK. Need to know the job really well. Never easy. Just procedure. Take care on the roads with the traffic.

[@SilentCougar]

Another sterling job Ron. The timelapse at the end makes it look like your task is easy, but watching the start to finish shows the pitfalls and hidden dangers. Even down to the extra bug spray because of the long grass, something many would overlook, well done again.

[@hgradyspruce1975]

Ron I appreciate you videos. I worked for trucking firm years ago and was one of six mechanics that was certified to recover our own wrecks with an old 650 or 850 Holmes, took tractors to replace a mechanical failure within a 5 state area etc. It brings back memories for sure. I finally was able to enter into full time ministry as a pastor rather than bi-vocational. I want to thank you for your witness and high moral standards that are easily seen and heard in your work. God bless my brother.

[@delandbrooks3291]

Ron, good vid !! To unload easier,slide the snatch block under the car to the rear. Pin it and push the load button on the remote. It's easier on the equipment, works every time and takes no longer.

Thank God the driver wasn't seriously injured. Surviving that with minor injuries is truly one of God's miracles. As for believing or not, I definitely do believe and have faith. I don't know how anyone can get through the loss of a loved one without faith. I know what that's like, lost my mom and dad within four months of each other, lost my husband and the love of my life in 2004, two brothers and a nephew. You must have faith. May God bless all of you and keep you safe.

Payers and well wishes go out to the driver of the avalanche. Ron, to bad you couldn't unhook everything connecting and get a good running start in reverse and "SLAM" on the breaks. That unload technique works the best, a little ruff on the equipment though. Aren't you glad I don't work for you with my mind set. Great recovery Bud. Thanks for the hard work Champ !!.

[@RonPratt]

Thanks for the prayers. Driver only had minor injuries. Trust me, when I have a completely totaled wreck and I have the opportunity to "throw" it off the bed by slamming on the brakes, I LOVE it. There is a certain feeling of satisfaction or vindication that I just can't explain. Thanks for watching and God bless.

You probably have a different viewpoint but the harder the job is, the more entertaining it is for us "watchers". Enjoy your videos. Many thanks for creating, editing and uploading them, even the "easy" jobs. Appeciate them all.

[@RonPratt]

You are correct. I am glad there were no significant injuries. Nice Kayaks though. God bless.

[@benbencom]

Ron, most cars have a "shift lock release" near the shifter where you poke something in (usually a key) to allow shifting when the battery is dead or the ignition key is unavailable.

[@markb.1259]

Love watching your videos! I know this recovery is nearly a year old, but I'm left scratching my head as to why you didn't put out any safety cones? Great videos Ron! Thanks!

[@stevencarter2900]

For those hard to unload have you ever tried to take your Redirect Cable block set parking Brake chain off to the rear anchors and winch backward, granted you are missing the control of load. But just for this Purpose I have thought of mounting a second (5000/10,000 LBS)Electric Winch just for this and that way you could still have a Safety/Control connection with Main Winch

[@RonPratt]

Yes, I have used that method many times. In this video I am showing only ONE method and will show other methods in future videos. I am doing this per viewer request and will eventually show all the different methods that I use. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@RonPratt]

Thank you and God bless.

[@ronaldjohnson2875]

I've always wondered about how to unload a vehicle. Thought you had some trick by redirecting the wench cable off the bottom of the bed back up to a hook on the front axle and use the wench to eject the car. This is probably more fun!

you always do an excellent job taking care of things no matter the condition. you'd be a good man to call to move toolboxes. guy i worked with hired a rollback to move his toolboxes. didn't secure the load and his service cart rolled right off it completely mangled. afterwards at the shop another coworker mentioned "well at least he only charged you half price" guy who's out a service cart "yeah because i only got half a toolbox now" hahaha. rollback driver showed up later in the day with a new service cart he had purchased for him. guy says "i don't want a new service cart, i wanted mine here in one piece" there was no hard feelings and the whole situation was pretty comical how the owner of the toolboxes delt with it.

[@RonPratt]

Those things can happen easily. I failed early on, to secure mine in a service truck and did a lot of pick up afterwards. You really only have to do that one time and that's enough. God bless.

[@TheYuggo]

Dear Ron! I am not sure why this video of yours "Kayaking upside down.." came up as "suggested to you [me]" by the algorithm in KZbin, but the title, unfortunately, (see more on why I write unfortunately further down below) sounded interesting enough. 😜 Watching the video, hearing your and the Policeman's comments, hearing your and the Police-officers politeness, respect and caring towards driver and each other and also reading some of your followers comments did however give me much more satisfaction and joy than a real kayaking video would have done. I have also seen some more of you postings, and see that they follow the same path, but it was the 'Kayaking' video that started it all, hence I write here. I would like to thank you for simply sharing what I assume is more or less an ordinary day in an ordinary US citizens workday. Most of the stuff on KZbin in general is quite extreme, one way or the other, regardless of origin; being private, official, commercial, fun or sad, from the US, Europe, Russia or Asia. Like 'kayaking upside down..' would imply. Extreme. Not to mention the news and specifically the American TV-series we get here, what people post on Facebook etc. about their so-called, "daily happenings" or achievements in their life etc. Always extreme and exaggerated, good or bad, happiness or unhappy. Political extremes. In-human endeavours etc. Posted as ordinary. But in reality always far-out from ordinary life. Never the ordinary, daily life. Never what people actually do for living or in their spare time with family or friends. And, being from Europe-Scandinavia, what we hear about the US in news and documentaries is even more extreme so to say, or at least, far from reality and everyday life as seen from your angle (my assumption); it is very focused on politics (what did President Trump or some vicious Congressman say today) or "what does the ordinary American think" as represented by the journalist interviewing some protesting mob outside the White House. As anyone of these comments or sayings would really represent a normal tax-paying hard-working American's opinion or thoughts? Never do the news go to catch the voice from anyone in Arkansas, Nevada, Arizona, South Dakota or wherever. Thus, we are thought that the U.S. is as seen from events in Downtown Manhattan N.Y, Washington DC or some vigorous School Shooting. That is U.S. Or not? Very seldom info from Midwest or anywhere else where normal people stay. The outcome of that is that when meeting American citizens in Europe we think they are a different breed altogether, having nothing in common with "true Americans" as presented in the news and TV-series. "So there are normal Americans out there" is unfortunately not a too uncommon comment when people in Europe meet travellers from the U.S. So, again, thanks for sharing. Have a nice day! And as you say "God bless!". Thanks!

[@robt2151]

Ron's right about the salvage potential. Still plenty of value on there if it is dismantled properly. I used to work in a breaker's yard and on one occasion we pulled in a burnt-out Jensen Interceptor (the owner had replaced the fuel line with a plastic section running next to the exhaust manifold); literally the only salvageable part was a front indicator, but the insurance company still wanted the wreck.

[@RonPratt]

Yes, when the driver has full coverage insurance, the insurance company definitely wants the vehicle for any salvage they can get. Thanks for watching and God bless.
