One thing I really like is how you don’t have a big introduction and get right into the action. You share a lot of good information making what you do interesting. I like how you get your whole team involved in your work and aren’t a one man band. Doing this will make your team better. I’m a 41 year retired City Of Phoenix employee that spent all my time in specialized heavy maintenance and repair. I was a supervisor my last 11 years and had to learn and trust my people to do the work. Team building is a key principle to success. Some day in my travels I hope to pay you a visit along with others you introduce on you channel (Robby and Paul). Thank you for providing good clean entertainment.

Great choice in recovery point, I work with road vehicles from ditches, fields, and accidents and the control arms are great points to pull from!

Check the high pressure cutoff switch, and the low pressure clutch cycling switch. My AC worked great and then the compressor pulley bearing started failing, so I replaced everything because the kit wasn't much more than the compressor alone, shortly after my high pressure switch failed, I replaced it, and a month later the low pressure switch failed, replaced it. And for the last 3 years I haven't had a problem with the AC.

Anyway when these props churn up the marsh mud it smells pretty foul and yes much like waste water or sewer. Its not from contamination or sewer, its from decaying matter that settles in the mud at the bottom of water systems. Chances are what y'all are smelling is merely decaying living matter that died after the water receded and when people are churning up the mud with their tires, well, your gonna get that wonderful aroma.

First customer: “I thought I had some off roading skill” Everyone watching the video: Driving down a gravel driveway isn’t some off-roading skill.

Now my experience is just from ATV's, but wouldn't a lot of paved road travel also wear down the offroad tires of the recover rigs faster?

yes but, im pretty sure patagonia sponsors the channel. he even said the tires for golden nugget were donated provided patagonia (and lots of other things like raceline wheels, driveshafts, recovery gear, and other big parts)

he has stated a bunch of times that new tires don't work well at all for the type of recoveries that he does.

@@MrMrsregor FYI, the company is Milestar, Patagonia is the model of tire. Trevor has been wearing a Milestar hat in several of the recent videos. They definitely have a sponsorship deal with MORR...

Rules schmules! What matters is getting it done & back home safe. Matt & his capable crew always rise to the challenge. It’s not always pretty, but it gets them out. Ed’s one tough cookie. Many much younger folks wouldn’t be game to keep doing what he does in hot weather, but when you’ve got such a passion & love of doing something comfort comes a distant second.

They're more what you'd call guidelines, than rules.
