This INSANE 4x4 Trail Snapped Our Winch Line!!! The Entire Group Needed An Off Road Recovery!!!

We break a winch line on an intense PNW trail! 4 wheeling in the Pacific Northwest is my favorite. We have a ton of short trails that really test the capability and durability of your off road rig. This was a group of very capable 4x4s, with me being the smallest on a set of 39's. Everybody got stuck multiple times and had to winch! Throughout the day there was a point where every single rig needed an off road recovery. It was awesome! Great weather, great people and great trails in today's video! I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed filming it!

I’m so glad you took on KZbin full time. It’s paying off so quickly. Your quality has shot up exponentially !!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks! Me too, This has been a ton of fun

[@usdohs]

You might have missed your calling as a filmmaker.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks! I really enjoy it

[@johnlichtenstein6158]

The way I see it, he is a filmmaker 😂

[@michaeldurling793]

He is a film maker and professional too, your not thinking hollywierd I hope.

[@nexgenRC]

This was put together SO well dude. Kudos man, keep it up.

[@IFHSP2]

Agreed. Best Jeep channel on the Tube

[@dlove0434]

Need a build/walk around video on rubber ducky! All the jeeps in this group are awesome!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Agreed! I'll ask him 👍

[@rubberduckyTJ]

I agree Nate!!!

[@surendarrox]

Damn the quality of your content has shot up over the year!!!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks man!

[@zacharymiller5690]

Your channel has some of the best video/editing quality! Keep it up man I love seeing how far you’ve come!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@messix7768]

and thank you for "lets pull winch i've got three more rigs to get through" that does save the repair work that has to go into the trails after trying to "send it a little too hard" .

[@DirtLifestyle]

I'm a big fan of using the winch when neccessary and I try to make that decision as quickly as possible. My ego isn't wrapped up in whether or not my Jeep makes it up every obstacle lol.

[@joeybarrentine5714]

That intro, I mean the whole video but, that intro 👌

[@letsdosomething806]

Man that was one funky looking trail. Great video quality, i swear each video just gets better and better.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@jeepingadventureswithjoeki6220]

You guys beat the living daylights out of your rigs but that is a testament on how well built they are. Keep up the great content and thank you for keeping it real.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! Alot of hard miles on these builds lol

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for posting! Looks like a lot of fun, one of these days I need to load up my KTM 200 and do some riding out there, I hear there’s miles of trails 👍 hello from the Olympic peninsula!

[@halohalohikers3571]

My mind is blown! I can’t believe you guys were winching between those two trees all while on top of that much rubble. Serious skills!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! It's a tough trail!

[@tschwag1420]

Great video please go back and explore alot more trails there. Keep the wheeling and building videos coming and thank you always look forward to the next.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I definitely plan on it 👍

[@wormswiggleinn]

I haven't commented in a while, but I'm still here. That was a beautiful video, you are a master of your craft.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you very much for the support and the kind words 👊

[@CFairNH]

Very cool video!!! Thanks for posting and taking us along!!

[@jk_wrangler13]

Love the rubber ducky set up, it's cool

[@marki-p5065]

Your photography is outstanding......great video.....great images....great jeeps....👌

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[@WeekendWrenchTurner]

FRAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNZZZZZ!!!! Good stuff man, even better with the Toyotas in it 👍👍👍

[@sirmerlin860]

the production value of this video is on another level. I have an Idea: maybe overlay a map at the beginning of the video when you show GPS coordinates. Keep up the great work.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I have a few ideas like that but I'm still learning how to do all these editing tricks 👍

[@vincentcarriere183]

It's crazy how capable that ruberduky tj is, one of the most capable full body tj I've ever seen

[@rubberduckyTJ]

Thanks for that! Unfortunately I got stuck a ton that day, Driver mod needed 🤣

[@8Lugproductions]

The production quality is topnotch. You have seriously upped your game.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@ianmburke]

Stepping up your KZbin game EVERY video 👊👊👊👊 you are killing it brother nice work

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks man!

[@motoristx]

Great capture on that snapped line. Seeing it pop like a rubber band leaving nothing but dust was crazy!

[@DirtLifestyle]

It was nuts! We barely caught it on camera which is why the shot is so short. It was pretty wicked in slo-mo

[@leopardskills69]

Good to see Rubber Duck added to your crew

[@DirtLifestyle]

He is great! 🤘

[@michaelharris1455]

Yes, I enjoyed the video! As Aways! I even dig the music, alot more than I can say about alot of other folk's videos! Thanks for everything, Nate!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you very much! It takes alot of hours to make one of these so I appreciate the kind words 👊

[@mikehoffman3690]

No breaks and a beautiful trail to boot. 🤟

[@DirtLifestyle]

Very fortunate! I imagine this trail claims victims often and that day we weren't one of them. 👍

[@wildthingsgarage]

Love the music! Like to see you changing it up a little, not that the previous stuff was bad... Great day on the trails!!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@coreylakey2266]

Cool to see you guys back at reiter... I miss old Reiter but some amazing people built some great trails 👍

[@btemp855]

Another awesome video! The videos you’re cranking out just keep getting better and better. Loved all the different views you got

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@alyhaarsma6558]

I really enjoy this channel. It's nice to see people who know their vehicles and actually know how to drive trust me its not common haha. If you are ever in New Zealand, we will have to show you around.

[@jasonebert6342]

Your videos are looking great. Keep up the good work I love watching your videos.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@cerberuszj33]

Sarah was GETTIN IT! Always love your videos Nate, and love seeing my friends in them too lol. Keep up the great entertainment! I cant wait to drag my 80-series up to Reiter and see how badly I can destroy it!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks man! Sarah does a great job!

[@alsims8280]

That new intro is great! Your production skills are getting better all the time, so hopefully that translates to having to spend less time doing it, and more time with family. You should plan a Meet n Greet on a camping trip. Start small and watch what happens...

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! Lots of work! I'm trying to iron out the details on a meet and greet 👍

[@rickcarter7278]

Next time I am going to Reiter I hope to see you there. I live in Oregon now but I am sure we know a lot of the same people if you wheel there often.

[@mjenner89]

Love the new intro Nate. It reminds me of something you would see on the Discovery or History channel. Well done!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@jarrad4397]

Stoked you guys are hitting up Reiter more, one of the best spots in the PNW but that's my opinion. I just moved to the 253 and I haven't been to elbe yet.

[@DirtLifestyle]

I agree, reiter is outstanding 🤘

[@SirEpsidufus]

Love your 4wheeling videos, by far the best I've seen.

[@metaldog7128]

That was outstanding filming just the perfect music and the slow mo stuff just 👌cool. Absolutely love your jeep 😍 if you could just stick a stamp on it and pop it in the post for me 😁 that would just be wonderful thank you 😊

Lol thanks brother 👊

I’m a Suzuki guy, but i really love your TJ😍. Awesome with trail video👍

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I'm also a Suzuki guy lol in all honesty I like anything 4x4👍

[@donhappel9928]

Just think of the TJ as a 125% Zuk - and who doesn't love a tin-top Sammi???

[@Jarod1941]

Another epic vid Nate. Your filming and editing skills are improving by leaps and bounds. You started out far better than any other channels, but now you've eclipsed them by miles. How about a walk-around of Rubber Ducky? It looks like a well thought-out build. Keep em' coming. Loving every second of footage.🤙

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you very much for the big compliment! I'm always trying to improve from each video 👍. You are right about Rubber ducky TJ. I need to do a walk around

Thanks!

[@603jeeper7]

Watch the video from the gruesome 2some they had a ball joint indicating shim to correct the tire leaning out 😎

[@matty86suk]

Knots will decrease a ropes strength by 50%...random fact I learned from the navy.

[@DirtLifestyle]

I've heard the same. I'm just the guy with the camera so it wasn't my call. I think ryan just did what he had to to get off the trail. The knot held so it was the right decision 👍

[@matty86suk]

Dirt Lifestyle you gotta do what ya gotta do out on the trails..I’m just putting random, semi relevant facts out there..cheers!

[@BerserkerCatSplat]

@@DirtLifestyle It takes a few more minutes than a knot, but with synthetic winch line it's very easy to just re-splice a new eye onto the broken end (and it's extremely straightforward to learn how - might make for a good video) and that way your trail-repaired line doesn't lose a bunch of strength, unlike the knot method - which is important if you might find yourself winching again that day. Knots don't always fit through the fairlead, either. You can even splice the two broken ends back together if you need the length, though it takes a bit longer. Some guys carry a splicing tool ("fid") in the glove box, but you can make do with a thin pen and some tape. Keep up the great videos! You've got one of the best 4x4 channels out there.

[@donhappel9928]

Depends on the knot. All of them are weaker than the line by itself but they vary significantly. Figure you'll loose 20% at a min and up to 50% for some knots. You can find plenty of charts and testing data with a quick search, especially among the climbing and sailing sets.

[@messix7768]

@@BerserkerCatSplat tape and a stick will work in a pinch

[@jacksonrezab]

your editing it getting so much better dude! that intro was awesome!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks man!

[@Huck248]

Went to reiter last Saturday.. with John in the 59 fiat ...haven't been up there in 12 years... that place is small but its gnarly... i have stickies on my jeep and was having all kinds of traction problems...we ran the yellow trail... what a shit show... lol... see you around ...

[@DirtLifestyle]

It's a great spot! I'm on stickies too but this place favors an older style build. Something tall to keep you away from the rocks! My jeep is pretty short for a lcog and it shows at reiter. Lol

[@bmstone2004]

I love your videos it's hard to find good wheeling and fab videos on youtube and your really close to me we should go wheeling sometime

[@evankimbel1930]

You need to come down to catahoula off-road here in central Louisiana, you’ll love it. I’d love to meet you one day.

As always, love your videos... It just deeply saddens me and pisses me off to see all those trees damaged by people not using treesavers and just wrapping their winch lines around the trees. Living on the east coast you learn to respect and care for them since we don't have very many old growth trees like ya have out west.
