Life Flight Saved The Driver, We’re Saving The Truck.

[@Retiredmom2]

That 17 year old is a hero of this incident

[@wrangler6977]

Even though his father was not aware that his son was in the truck he apparently was supposed be there at that time, who knows how long the driver would have been down there before he was found and the out come may have been very different. Glad to see that you and Grumpy were the one’s to help them recover the vehicle.

[@eRevere85]

Somebody better get that kid an award, not many kids even leave the house more less do something that selfless

[@dbrown8388]

👍

[@AKDONURSE]

As a remote flight nurse, I want to say thank you for helping people in situations like these. I often wonder what happens to the vehicles after rescues.

[@user-se5zz3yj9c]

Knowing many peeps that like to get out there…and sometimes things just don’t go right..even for the experienced…other times peeps are idiots..your there for em All either way…Thank You👊🇺🇸👊

[@jeffvallentine913]

Strong work Casey and Grumpy. The camera never shows how steep things are but that looked pretty steep! Just clearing the "trail" looked like it must've taken a bit of effort.

[@AtoZFarm]

As a frequent viewer of recovery channels, I often wonder about the vehicle occupants! We've seen some gnarly things, and the laws of probability say that it's likely not everyone is ok after these wrecks. 😕 I'm in awe of the work that you do, with critically injured people in unthinkable conditions. ❤️

[@davestevens4263]

This is a Toyota, he’s gonna put a windshield in it , was it & drive it . Win for Toyota, I hope he recovers.

[@throttlewatch4614]

Thank you for all you do as well

[@nikonikorian6124]

What I appreciated the most was the Family there to police and collect the debris and prep for recovery. Leaving the area a tad bent and broken but not littered. Great recovery. And Spikes are good luck for sure!

[@michaelmaynard8079]

Grumpy did a great job on the controls. That was a great recovery, one less thing the family has to worry about.

[@jamesbigham9036]

Casey you and grumpy deserve a lot of credit for all that you do. This was a big recovery and kind of tricky with that cliff you got the job done. Having the family involved with the recovery definitely seemed to make the recovery a little easier. I am glad the driver survived the accident. That 17 year old young man saved the driver's life getting him out then getting him help

[@CaseyLaDelle]

They absolutely made it easier with all their work the previous day, and were a great help on the recovery as well. And yes, that kid most definitely saved the drivers life

[@AbesNbacon]

Great video Casey. And Grumpy is going to need a raise, now that he’s been promoted from part time cameraman to hydraulic operating engineer. Congratulations Grumpy, you deserve the raise.

[@davestevens4263]

I approve of this message!!!!! Lol

[@johnnyadams1755]

I'm sure Casey will double his pay. Twice nothing is still nothing 😂

[@AbesNbacon]

@@johnnyadams1755 Possibly a little more expensive gas station Snacks will have to suffice? A man of his talents deserves at least that.

[@bgslade1]

maybe a set of Rugged Radios for instances like this would be handy

[@AbesNbacon]

@@bgslade1 Your suggestion is absolutely correct. But with Casey’s exceptional organizational skills, the radios would always be in the other truck (pick one). And that’s if the batteries were charged up. LOL. Just making fun of the guy. I love his videos and the good he does. Edit; BTW the additional comments help his KZbin channel.

[@holdmycoffee4470]

For someone who is "not very good at this" that was an impressive recovery! Of course you did have an "old dude" on the winch and old dudes rock! Way to go Grumpy!

[@AlaynaBostian]

Im so proud of my brother in this situation he planned it in sections he told me but im just so proud of him. Also dave (the driver) is ok, his eye is not doing good and he broke some ribs but hes ok. Thank you for getting the truck out for us that would have took long time. Thank you for doing it we appreciate it.

[@mightyocelot]

Props to your whole family for pitching in to help out

[@genepatterson4375]

Casey, I think this ranks up there as one of your more spectacular recoveries, so awesome seeing that truck come up and out. Great job!!!

[@artm6723]

Sure hope the driver of that truck makes it through this. Best of luck brother. Great work as usual Casey! Looks like you’re keeping the “lucky” spikes!

[@danlynch6194]

That was a tough recovery. Good job, Casey.

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

If this was Heavy D, they would have a crew of 12, 6 vehicles, one giant inflated ego, 20 tonnes of utter bullshit and half of the video would be adverts for dodgy products. Casey has a Grumpy with a silly hat.

[@nbrowser]

Perfect summation, deadly accurate!

[@SquareKnotProductions]

Heavy D would have also piloted the life flight.

[@George-dy3pt]

Facts

[@wendy833]

I don't think they're to ego-y. They help a lot of people also.

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

​@@wendy833helping people out doesn't negate my points, they are looking for content the same way Casey does, or MOOR. The fact that people can be helped for free and the helper get paid is one of the best parts of You Tube. I wish more people made this type of content. As for the ego thing, watch the next video analytically, see how often Heavy D say "my" or "I" , look how much of the video is taken up by a close up of Heavy D talking despite everything and everyone else being way more interesting, how often he has to be in control of the machinery, they literally stop the recoveries so they can film heavy D climbing into and using each machine from 4 different angles, usually with someone praising how good he is, this is the reinforce he is the master, the focus, vehicles are never "the Het" it is always " my Het " then with a comment about how great it is, then by inference how special he is for owning it. He has started no end of videos with comments like " this is the greatest 'whatever' video you will ever see" " or " stop what you are doing now and listen" only for it to be yet another dodgy product. If that isn't inflated ego, I have no clue what is. And an honourable mention to the fake Titles video where he flew to Scotland and lied throughout an entire video to promote a known scam. That is ego, thinking his paycheck for selling his integrity was worth ripping off the viewers, despite him being richer than most of them already.

[@nbrowser]

Just hope the driver will be alright, also nice to see you and Grumpy working together...while you two have the grandest of fun you two certainly get down to business when needed. That said...his spike hat, hilarious!

[@tammyreeves168]

Wow. That was a crazy rescue. Only a Toyota would crank and drive along the river bed after that fall. Our entire family drives either Toyotas or Fords. I’m so glad you’ll were safe during that. Prayers for the man that was in hospital from the wreck. Stay safe and God Bless

[@jeremyhutchens984]

@@tammyreeves168I was going to say the same thing I’ve had several tacomas and as long as I did the maintenance they never let me down once and I used them mercilessly off-road and on the farm and daily drivers never had a bad one

[@margreetanceaux3906]

There must be a fine line for Carina, knowing your expertise and you being very sensible, and then seeing you clinging to a hillside above a creek.

[@jeno264]

😰

[@gracebrockway3020]

i'm a 74 year old grandmother; i watch all of your videos because i love to watch men at work, especially ones who have such a delightfully intuitive understanding of physics!

[@kevlarandchrome]

What a hell of a recovery. The camera may not show how steep it is, but Casey standing with one foot on the dash and one foot on the roof perpendicular to the ground sure drove the point home. Nice job.

[@johnstark4723]

That was a heck of a ride off the road. They were lucky to survive. Made for an interesting recovery. Be safe you two!

[@imagseer]

Good teamwork guys on an awkward extraction from the creek; impressed that you got all the junk back up out of there too. Looks like the spikes gave Grumpy super powers. Hope the driver makes a good recovery

[@davida267]

I happened to be listening to the scanner and heard this call, glad everyone is gonna be okay.

[@bradley-eblesisor]

What a ride that was. Nice family that needed some help from Casey and that grumpy feller. You guys reaffirm my faith in humanity! ❤👍👍

[@marktucker7454]

Good to see Grumpy back with Casey. What great recovery from the middle of nowhere's ville.

[@geoffreyfox7618]

Grumpy, that's the best response to the silly spike covers, keep up the good work Casey

[@davidwoermansr]

Be careful there's a guy on here (unless I made him have a coronary) that no matter how many times I told him the spikes are plastic and bumping into them will knock them off the truck had a fit about my comment that my boys have them on their trucks saying if he bumps into them and gets cut up he'll sue and only bad drivers have them to crowd into cars shredding the side of the car I believe he thinks mad max is based on a true story he'd probably crap his pants if I parked my Fury next to him in a parking lot

[@davidpenwell7418]

That man needs some kinda reward for that hike for service to call 911

[@TheScoundrel70]

Bad accident! Lucky outcome, all things considered, and what a blessing that the 17 year old young man was there, and not trapped, or badly injured. Well done on a challenging recovery! Plus 👍👍 for cleaning up the debris, and following "leave no trace" even under such difficult conditions. Spiky Grumpy for the WIN(ch)!😀

[@petgranny194]

Glad folks survived that fall, wow. And well done tO Mr Bostian for his clear headedness in managing the crisis - very smart.

[@davidfarmer1666]

Wonderful team work on that rescue. Casey you directed the recovery with your operator skills. Grumpy was so necessary for the recovery and appeared to run the wrecker winches to Casey's direction. Casey hooking into the Toyota where necessary to move the Toyota truck past tree stumps and up the hill to the road. This was a great day for Casey and Grumpy when it comes to recovery work. Great job by both and the customers help. Stay safe and enjoy this recovery for awhile.

[@tamo9520]

What a job! What - a - job. Great work! Glad to hear that everyone is recovering, and what a smart 17 yr old! Great job & quick thinking on his part!

[@Derf1313]

Gotta love Grumpy's sense of humor, heck of a recovery, I'm sure it was a lumpy ride going down... Thanx !

[@brucehobbs1734]

Casey, you really shine in these messes. Great Job.

[@guycooper806]

Hats off to all you guys! Someone raised that 17 year old right great job!

[@donwilliams3626]

Looks like Grumpy got good instruction on how to run the boom and winch lines. Casey climbed down and got the truck out and then they went back down to bring out the trash. Soon nature will remove any trace that they were there. Hope everyone is safe.

[@thaddeustroyer]

Casey, as a retired FF some "clear" commands might help and create less confusion when multiple people are giving commands. A brief pre-flight/pre-winch review works wonders, Slack Tension Stop These are really all you need, there are of course more, but anything else and I have seen people question what the commands were when the screaming starts. You did amazing (like always, you have an awesome understanding of this stuff) I am just offering a suggestion and not trying to critique. Keep up the great work, i appreciate your videos and usually learn something new. Never too old to learn.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

That was a difficult pull. Your tow truck showed what it's made of today.

[@tsar-bomba2413]

Another great recovery, very technical this one and it was done flawlessly. 👍

[@donaldmarty8445]

Another difficult recovery effortlessly performed by Casey and Grumpy! Good job and thank you for helping the people out. BTW Grumpy's hat is gonna blow up the internet🤣🤣🤣

[@CarswithNash]

Definitely a bad one, glad everybody made it out alive.

[@duaneb193]

Hey, Grumpy - back on January 11th you forecasted Casey hitting 200K shortly. He's now at 200K, so you weren't too far off in your estimate. Love the spike hat, but you know it's going to go right over the heads of the people that whined about them 🙂 It's always fascinating to watch Casey haul up something that's been damaged to the extent that this truck was - far more skill than most people recognize.

[@JoeWoolley-rf5fq]

Hey Casey. How about taking a drone with you on some of your callouts ? Just don’t like seeing you guys get hurt . Thank you for helping people out. . 👍👍👍

[@SaltAirLiving]

Hell of a recovery. That Tacoma looks like it handled the wreck like a champ. Impressive work

[@funkypaul2822]

Nice to have Grumpy. We need more Grumpy on the channel!

[@chrischristenson4547]

17-year-old sounds like a very sound mind a very strong body and a lot of courage

[@hotflashfoto]

Am I mistaken? I didn't see the Taco on the trailer and the last I saw was it "driving away". Did that "wreck" actually start and run and drive away under its own power? And good job by Grumpy working those controls gently and smoothly, too! That's the beauty of hydraulics over electrics. That 17-year-old did a heroic deed after stabilizing the driver, too. Great job by all!

[@davidwoermansr]

The guy said that the day before they flipped it on it's wheels and drove it down the creek and as far up as they could so I'm sure they drove it home

[@EnufIsTooMuch]

There was a comment in the video about the owner bringing out a trailer. I don't know that it was running, thought I heard somebody say to pop the clutch to start it. But just rolling it down hill to the trailer out of view could have been all they did.

[@troybostian9004]

Yes, the Toyota started up and drove onto the trailer under its own power.

[@nathanbusse1642]

We drove it up onthe trailer to take it home

That Recovery was awesome! Thank goodness everyone is recovering. Nice to see Grumpy! Thank you for sharing! 😊

Sobering recovery. I have an 04 Tacoma with extended cab and a shell. 300k miles and seen some difficult roads and terrain, and it makes me grateful to be keeping wheels down so far.

[@garlandweissenfluh4549]

I hope the driver is doing well and the 17 year old passenger is as well. Casey and Grumpy have done another great job. Job well done. Thank you for everything you do for people.

[@revee1000]

Amazing the 17 year old took action and knew exactly what needed to be done.

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

The jobs you get done with that little one ton wrecker are just amazing. That diesel must weigh a ton for the front wheels to stay on the ground, most of the time, and a heavy frame. I'm a Chevy guy but I have seen several of them, around the same vintage as yours, with the frame bowed between the bed and cab. You have a tough one that along with your knowledge has done it all without fail. I wish the driver a full recovery.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

That’s why you never tie down the front end. That’s the trucks way of telling you to try something different

[@barneygirl9643]

Grumpy’s Spiked Hat😂Great recovery😳both lucky to survive! Thanks for the awesome video 👍😎Stay safe!❤️🙏

[@carolhursh8547]

Good that you had some extra help that was quite a rescue!🌹

[@billsimmons7754]

All that brush that made this so difficult was probably what saved the drivers life and possibly others. I am sure it slowed the decent into the ravine. It was good to see that some capable help was there to assist.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Most likely so. It’s definitely what saved the last car that went off there

[@mr_mongo7228]

You were not lying that guy is very lucky to be alive! You and Grumpyioust P Spikelhood did an excellent job getting everything out of there. Thank you for sharing this video it’s definitely one of the best ones you’ve had for a while!

[@darrenbutler1938]

Nice work guys it's nice to see people helping others

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

I never took physics in school, I didn't even know what it meant way back then. But the more I watch these recovery channels, the more I am learning what it is. You have a great understanding of physics, Casey, and you're very good at teaching it also. Thank you for my continuing education in my retirement!

Good to see Grumpy ! Appears to be getting around pretty well! GREAT Job!

[@edwinschlee8374]

Very lucky people. Surprising that the truck could still run once you got it on the road! Good job guys.

[@davidwoermansr]

I was more impressed it steered getting them running is usually the easy part

[@3vs547]

A cool thing about you putting these videos up is that when the driver of the truck gets to feeling better, he'll be able to watch you getting his truck out of the ditch!

Why folks unsubscribe for video's like this is beyond me but I am unsure what American's are thinking these days. I subscribed for these and everything is else is a bonus. You do good work, Casey, and crew, you should be proud. Thanks.

[@scottjohnson7726]

Please don't take these as negative comments as I don't do your job, just observations. Watch where you put your hands inside, if it's warm and sticky you don't want to touch it - no judgements on anyone, just a general rule. Climbing harness to winch yourself up and down? This is going to happen again. Y'all did a fantastic job of recovery - I just want you to be as safe as possible. Thank you for a great video!
