Recovering a 1 TON Ram on the most remote road in North America [S1E26]

Our journey north on the Dempster Highway was stopped short when we ran into some trouble along the way... these Australian explorers were lucky their truck didn't roll into the tundra swamp! It's going to take some ingenuity to extract this Ram 1 ton pickup..

Thanks for the tip. Buying an overland trailer to pull with my jeep. Hopefully we may cross paths. Cheers

Look at baby girl dance. Lol. She'll remember these adventures with her mom and dad forever. Especially, if you take a lot of pictures and videos. Keep having some family fun out there!

There is nothing more satisfying than helping people out of a tight situation. Nice work!

[@danieltimisan6820]

great recovery ! ... I love your kind hearts to help those unfortunate travelers ... this Earth needs more people like you ! great teaching moment and character shaping for the little Caroline too

[@r.g.bronson1866]

Fantastic video Kevin and family. I have watched all your videos and they are all very good but this one stands out for the simple fact of all the goodness in it....a tip of the cap to you and your lovely family. Great stuff!

[@TheDenisedrake]

It's such a great feeling to help people off road. Great job figuring out how to get them out.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks, Denise!!

[@mpower6004]

This is an epic story , with a great rescue and a beautiful sunset at the end of the day . Job well done guys .

[@jburritt426]

Absolutely beautiful. Nice recovery too. It is like being there again. I will never forget the beauty up there.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@andyrichey1192]

God bless you, that was a great recovery. I knew there is still good people left in the world, appreciate you sharing you're Adventure i'll be watching more

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for the support!

[@GriffinHooper]

I absolutely love watching your videos! My 3 boys, 8,4,3 are starting to stop,sit, and watch these with me! They loved seeing the beaver in the last video and like seeing all of the beautiful things that you show! - Thank you! 12:15am and watching the sunset, what an interesting experience!

[@LifestyleOverland]

That's so cool! Glad you're enjoying them as a family! Yes, that daylight schedule really started to get to us!

[@sullit1]

Some people are always gonna add their 2c from the peanut gallery, but honestly, this was a very impressive recovery of a large vehicle in a tough spot. I"m impressed guys. Good work!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks 🙌

[@timweimar8768]

Wow, simply amazing!! Genuine concern for others and a great sense of teamwork. The memories and stories Caroline will be able to share when she is older will be amazing!! Oh, lots of kudos to Sarah for getting started without coffee, wow don't know if I could do that. Thanks for sharing!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Haha, yeah she didn't want to make it in the rain... We we're dangerously close to defcon 4.

[@whenopportunitycomes8718]

You guys are not only out there for adventure - you are always prepared to help others too. That's really amazing. What you did will encourage others all the time. So many thanks. 👍

[@theninja001]

I love doing a good recovery! It makes you focus intently on the the changing situation, and it requires awareness of so many variables! You did a great job of it!

[@LifestyleOverland]

We had a blast too!

[@gabhanno]

Nice job on the recovery, Kevin. They were lucky you came along and could help. You are such good people.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks, Gavin! They would have done the same for us too. They are awesome folks!

[@Gunshy55]

​@@LifestyleOverland Thanks Kevin for helping some fellow countrymen. From an Aussie in SA (South Australia)😄.

[@bobshaw4063]

That's for sure and the other truck helped also . The people were very lucky the truck camper didn't roll over and thank goodness no one was hurt during the recovery operation .

[@thecyberadventurer]

I'd say that a great recovery given the conditions and equipment had. It's amazing to see the generosity of people out on the roads sometimes. As always great video and I'm enjoying every second of it. Also, glad that cop showed up the last minute haha

[@LifestyleOverland]

We were really surprised it even worked to be honest. A lot of factors at play! Thanks for watching!

[@pilotahmed777]

You deserve more subscribers with the quality and the love put into these videos♥️

[@prakashghalley87]

Really appreciated what you did. That is humanity. Great respect to you and your family.

[@darrellgreen4588]

its so remote... you have to help, though i'm surprised there was no recovery available from Dawson!! Nice work

[@royhawkins9499]

Thanks for sharing that was an excellent recovery! Your Alaska videos have been of great interest to me as I am planning the trip in May. Keep up the great work.

[@kaliorocks5202]

I have been apart of and watched many recoveries but this has been one of the best I have seen. You guys were very meticulous, patient and well prepared. I loved your explanation for the viewer's and you saved that couple alot of time and money. Awsome work team, and you have a Toyota rig, chur from your new New Zealand subscriber.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@LivinLifeinDrive]

That's awesome! I always say the easy road you wont remember, but the hard road and times you will always talk about!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it! We had a blast!

[@gregormiller4037]

Great post. I started watching LJMJ about 2 years ago and other sites. Ran into yours' and the one thing that always sticks out, is how you get to spend the day with your family. I'm sure there are challenges like anything else, but what amazes me is how kids seem to acclimate/adjust to being in a car for long periods, and camping every day. For me, it would be a childhood dream...bless your lucky stars.

[@calevel]

oh man, that great feeling that you most have been experiencing after such an epic recovery. Helping some random people and testing your recovery gear! Thumbs way up guys!!!

[@stevenstewart615]

I just found your channel a few days ago it is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good content, also glad you were able to safely assist another adventurer.

[@maratines]

I really enjoyed this video. Your act of humanity has earned you an immediate like and subscribe. God bless your beautiful family.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the channel!

[@3.2.1.adventure4]

Had a similar experience in sedona where we towed a stranded camper van in reverse as there where tow points in front, 5 miles to the highway. Having able rig and being able to help is very rewarding. Awesome job guys!

[@psdicko100]

Wow lucky you came along, not a good situation. Very envious of what you are doing, what a great memory for Carolyn.all the best on your travels.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much!

[@TrailTribune]

Always a good feeling to pull out another camper. I helped recover a 2wd sprinter one time that decided to bury itself to the axle down a sandy wash. We didn’t have max tracks or a winch but did have some chopped firewood and a tow strap which worked nicely.

[@TheMtnNomad]

Love your videos. I watched you guys a while back through new Mexico and Colorado. Thanks for this Alaska series. I’m headed up north to Tuk and Alaska with my buddy this summer. Your videos are allowing me to check off gear and ensure we are prepared. Doing it in an FJ with a RTT and no trailer. Your rig is well set up. Thanks.

[@calvofrancisco]

awesome video, recovery, photograpy...etc... I love the the adventures spirit of your clan. family travels are the best experience. Safe travels!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks!!

[@andreasmuller8345]

What a great teamwork that's how it works to be successful. 👌💪😎 I was traveling by VW - Van alone in the deep winter time across Canada from the West Coast to the East Coast up to Alaska and back to Vancouver 31 year's ago alone. I was helping a car driver with his wife out of the snow up north from Whistler Mountain (BC). I had a great time all the way and now problems with my old 1968 VW - Buli! I love it that easy way to travel. I was before three times traveling across the USA at different parts that was a great experience. Wish you all safe traveling where ever you are! Good luck 🐞👍🍀 Best wishes from Asia 🐘🇨🇭

[@billcashman4006]

Hi guys, my brother and I meet up with you at expo west. I have many years of experience in heavy duty recovery, and just from the video points of view, I would say you did an outstanding job. You were dealing with a whole slew of different obstacles, from sucking mud, to off camber angled pull, to very top-heavy vehicle. The other thing you did right was pull him out the way he went in. I have seen many cases where someone would try to pull out forward in that situation,and things went from bad to worse. But the best thing I saw was that you guys took the time to assess the whole situation, and plan out your recovery. Outstanding!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for the support, Bill! We appreciate it!

[@canesser1]

A new friendship baptized in the Yukon muskeg, doesn't get better than that folks! Awesome adventure and a tribute to all the blood, sweat and tears you've put into that 4Runner; giving the Overland community a golden name! We do need to see a "sunset" ike that in person some day!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for watching! Yes, everyone needs to see an Arctic sunset in their life!

[@unkermus7581]

God bless you and your family for all the good and sincere deeds you have done.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much!

[@RollinDirtyOverland]

That was some rock solid recovery work.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks, man!

[@joelletendre1011]

I agree.

[@curtissharris1602]

yes good work I'd think it would be real easy to dump that rig over.

[@EZoutAtSecond]

...great video...I love it...I get to see the world through your eyes...when I was young books were my highway...now it's vids like this...from what I have read from other posts they enjoyed too...all I can add is...keep up the freat vids and most of all...THANK YOU...!!! Happy Trails to you and family...California

[@LifestyleOverland]

So glad you're enjoying the story!

[@dougbourdo2589]

Bravo to you and everyone involved in the recovery effort. Great example of Man's humanity. The Golden Rule.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Really good video I bet you those people are really happy that you came along and gave him a hand getting out of that hole looking forward to your next video. And yes we will be friends for life. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@garthrichert5256]

Lifestyle Overland wow wow wow. Once again. You’re a master a recovery. They were lucky to have you come along! Rarely is a recovery NOT dangerous! That’s where taking it slow, thinking it through and EXPERIENCE is essential! I still have that little scar from our trip! Haha!!

[@srqlisa7881]

So the lesson is drive thru the pothole. great video, nice save. Can you say Mudflaps: ) peace

[@xtremeoverlandusa1616]

Really good job on the recovery guys, That rig could have easily rolled in that situation. We really enjoy watching your adventures as they unfold , you never know what will happen day to day. Keep up the good work! Steve Xtreme Overland USA

Haha, hardly a master but thanks for the vote of confidence! Looking forward to our next time to "test the trailers" ;) Safe Travels, bud!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Always a tough call... we have a run-in with a pothole that doesn't end so well in the future... (spoiler alert). Wish we had put some bigger, heavy mud flaps on for the trip!

[@MichaelEPerez]

Good video. Always a good feeling to be able to help someone while on the road. One way to "pay it forward"

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikecolesvids]

Can’t thank ya enough for sharing your AK experience. We went this past summer and found it to be a life altering experience. Youre vids really are bringing back memories of the open road freedom the we long for. Well played sir! 🏆

[@Roarmeister2]

Excellent recovery -- very good teamwork. Traction aides, 2 tow vehicles, extra trees for matting, lots of eyes to watch, and patience - lots and lots of patience. And look, another person carrying a pocket knife... well done.

[@hugestudiosdenver]

Very cool Rescue ! And that was a big rig ... Awesome work ! And Jason did not injured himself ! ha, ha, ha !!! thanks for sharing !! :))

An Aussie invention coming to the rescue of some Aussies a long way from home. I don't leave the garage for trip without my maxtrax on board. Saved me and others plenty of times.

[@MrWinger1951]

Well done and very smart of you to set up video equipment and film the entire recovery procedure.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Haha, I told them I would help, but they had to let me film 😉 We had fun!

[@garykos1308]

Now I know this is 2 years later but I feel like I need to help a brother out....When you said, "I was supposed to take her to Scotland, instead..." and her response was "I don't want to compare the two..." that plus facial expression and body language translates to you are still taking me to Scotland. Nice rescue.

That was a very good common sense recovery of a TC, being a TCer myself I know how difficult one of these rig can be during a recovery process. I'll be checking out your other videos as well, we did the Dempster road and the Tuktoyaktuk road all the way to the Arctic Ocean during mid summer of 2018.
