We came upon this Yukon rescue as we worked our way into Arches, and ultimately Delicate Arch, in our two rented Jeeps on July 2. We really enjoyed talking with Rory, Mike and Shaun, finding out what happened and why the customer ended up rolling over. We would have stayed to talk longer, but we didn't want to keep you from doing your job, even if y ou were waiting on the Park Ranger to show up with the keys. (We never did see them on the way into the park.) Meeting the tree of you on the job made our day, which was already special as we were celebrating our 30th anniversary at the place we wanted to get married at all those years ago. Ben & Angie

Just want to add my recent experience with Rory. He’s a genuine standup guy and everyone in the area is lucky that he’s around doing his job. I ripped the frame and trackbar mount out of my jeep coming out of cliffhanger last Sunday. Managed to get a call out to Rory and he came out immediately in the hottest part of the day to rescue us, welded the mount back on and accompanied us off the trail to make sure we made it out. He didnt need to take the call or make sure we made it off the trail. He does the right thing even regardless of the situation. Thanks again for the help Rory, your friends from Washington.

The more I watch Trailmater, MORR and FABRATS, the more I hate today’s technology in vehicles of all types. Take me back to the days before electronics. I’ve always wanted a CJ8 Scrambler,, then I saw the Gladiators, but the electronics are nothing but a nightmare, just like in this Tahoe. I yearn for simpler days of the CJs and all the vehicles before computers. Great video and thanks Mike for educating us on the biology of the desert.

I do enjoy watching y'all do your thing and the beautiful scenery adds to how great this channel is, but I can't say I could do anything y'all do any better. I did run a roll-back wrecker in the early 90's for a year or two but what you guys do is light years away from conventional recoveries. One thing I can say, being involved with a KZbin channel myself, is miserable people and haters lurk in the comment section so just keep doing what ya do and don't worry too much about them.

Today is honestly the first time I clearly heard Mike's Sconnie come through. Excellent nature walk, and even though I feel like I could handle a recovery on my own after so much awesome tutelage from Rory and Matt, I learn more from unsaid things. Especially since you know from the shadows moving that there were 20-30 minutes of "super salty B-roll material" while they sorted out the Neutral issue. Then a solution and successful resolution. Once again- we do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy.
