Y’all are a spectacular group of guys. Your “no trash in MY backyard” attitude is one to be copied and admired by more people in this country. Because of this I started doing the same thing around my own neighborhood in Ohio. I don’t have the equipment to recover and remove abandoned cars, but the day before yesterday I was thinking of y’all as I picked up boxes (7) of trash and old clothes that someone either tossed or lost out of their vehicle. Thanks so very much for all you do, and for the inspiration to get me to stop and clean up a mess someone else left on my road. Keep up the great work and keep your tremendously inspiring videos coming.

[@kevinsworld.7086]

Soooo true. That's a great compliment from you and honestly your attitude should be admired and copied by many!

Having a cool boss makes it nice too! Heavy D keeps a cheer full outlook and demeanor even when things go sideways. I learned working in commercial aviation that "nothing is ever easy". Seems like every job takes twice as long as I think it should. My car is never fixed until I have pulled every tool out of the tool box. Lately I have figured out a way to save time fixing my car..... I open every drawer in my tool box then just kick it over spilling out every tool I own on the ground. Since implementing this practice my car and other projects are done in half the time! 🤪

You pay bills every month to have a hanger and aviation license the overhead doesn't just disappear. Dave has what most people don't because he's willing to go further than most people ever will.

Can’t beat a hemmitt!! I remember several years ago while I was in the military, the ammo guys brought us a Hemmitt full of 4.2 mm mortar rounds down range in FT. Knox.. It was quitting time for them so they left the Hemmitt for us to unload. My Staff Sergeant asked the driver if he left the keys in it in case we needed to move it.. of course he did.. So we unloaded it, got the sides put back up and ate chow.. just as the sun went down, without saying a word to anyone, Staff Sergeant walks out to the Hemmitt fires it up… Then proceeds to do his damndest to cut the best doughnuts possible in such a big machine.. about half way around his first doughnut every single com-phone each of us had in our 113’s just ripped right out the back of or tracks.. as he finally starts getting it into a full spin, all you could see under the Hemmitt was our com-phones wrapping all around the driveshaft!! Freakin hilarious!! Next three hours were spent cutting all the com-wire from around the axles, driveshaft etc… great memories!! Thanks guys.. Stay blessed!!

[@kellyjohnston5648]

I love your videos. Being from a heavy haul trucking background and many years of off-road recovery’s/adventure I would say next time instead of alternating chains I think you would benefit front chaining up the front four steers and leave the rear naked if you only have four total chains. Utilizing the surface area in all one area might have made the difference in making it up without issue. All scenarios are different but that is my two cents. Great job on overcoming the challenges and getting the job done. Another great job!!

[@dogleg6669]

There is a heavy rubber insert for those wheel & tires that are an internal bead locker. Pain in the rear to put in but worth the effort if you need to air down. Would suggest getting the axle interlock fixed too, not having lockers really hurt y'all on this one.

[@JohnH20111]

when you put that vehicle in Low 1 & engage the 8x8 axle interlock, all the power & torque from that Detroit Diesel gets split between all 8 tires i know from experience, & that motor has enough torque to snap the driveshafts and the u-joints

Having a loyal crew with a sense of humor makes the job so much easier. I enjoy the well edited videos. I have a suggestion as far as playing in the snow. Since you seem to have an unlimited budget for machinery, get a used logging skidder or 2 with a good set of tire chains. Skidders have miles of cable on powerful winches and are designed specifically for pulling huge loads over rough terrain in deep snow and mud. If it was to have an old Detroit 2 cycle so much the better. There would be great sound effects.

when you end up spinning out on an icy hill like that put it in reverse and try not to lock up the brakes and just try and give enough throttle to keep traction yet not go any faster than you have to. It seems wrong to do but trust me ... it helps you keep your ability to steer and helps keep from shinning up your tire tracks any more than you have to in a hill. in my 16yrs of hauling oversized off-road heavy haul, I've got a few more close calls than I care to remember going downhill backward with over 200k lbs behind me. The first winter I was lucky to have a few seasoned drivers teach me that and it has saved me many times. As for spinning, you are right but the biggest reason you don't want to spin with chains and let it hop is it is torture on your drive train. each hop of the tire basically slaps the gears inside your axles back and forth on each other and makes it easy to strip and snap gears. Imagine everything turning one-way and then in a blink of an eye, every gear forced the opposite way but many times back and forth at once. it makes it very easy to find out how expensive rear end and transmission parts cost.

Well I have finally caught up with most of the recovery videos and I have one suggestion that has worked for me. You usually carry a welder, now I know they are cumbersome but sheets of 4by8 1/16 or possibly 1/18 steel can be chained or welded under what you are pulling and will help slide and float heavy objects. You guys are absolutely a blast to watch and I have done alot of similar recoveries. So it may help sometime. Can't wait for more!

I was thinking the same. Build some skid plates. Curve them up at the end so as they don't dig in the ground happy days. It does seem sometimes they're trying a dead pull without completely clearing a smooth path to Winch out.. I think this may be why they snap so many cables.... Still all a learning curve good entertainment...

ski is a four letter word

Always fun when the biggest rig in the neighborhood gets stuck. Done the walk of shame myself. Got a 4-wheeler stuck in a mudhole. Walked back to the shop, got the boss. Drove a bigger tractor out there, managed to get that stuck, too. We both did the walk of shame.

Love seeing these vlogs, you show what really happens when you are out in the bush and thing go sideways, keep it up

[@billy3114]

I should be doing school but Id rather watch this

[@LikePhoenixFromAshes]

I just adore the sense of humour in this episode. More of those edits pls!

[@joanczarnick7510]

That was wonderful to watch shows not all recovering is easy for you guys

[@waltercarroll382]

I'm impressed at your passion and efforts to clean up the ravine

[@johntucker803]

Love the videos, teamwork and enthusiasm! I always get a good laugh and learn something. To get out of some of those slick spots in the future might I suggest... Learn how to do a Detroit slingshot brother (not with chains, just air down). As you know, those trucks can store a ton of torque in their drive line. It's a power brake without spinning out. Half throttle while holding the left foot on the brake (yeah it's a tight fit with the column lol). You will feel the truck torque load. Hammer down and when the throttle pedal hits the floor let off the brake. Stay in the throttle until you are on top. I'm asking you brother... please don't use the crane for winching. Your luck will run out and the boom and/or cylinders are bent or torqued and you can't stow the crane. I'm not telling you what to do with your own toy but I've seen this happen many times over and it's not a fun or cheap fix. Any way, thanks again for taking us along with you on all the adventures. Stay safe.

Interesting Adventure, and recovery. I love that you guys stay calm and just work through every problem there is. That can do attitude really pays off.

[@Sam-qt1rj]

I'm from Harrisburg Pennsylvania I watched your seasons on discovery and follow you on KZbin I loved the show and I like all your videos on here I check all the time for new builds and give aways you do your crew is amazing I'm a country boy clear from the mountains of northern Pennsylvania I'm proud you guys support the US military ranks I'm glad I found your crew just exploring my Roku in 2018

[@jgelliot]

People who dump anything in public lands are huge losers. Thanks for helping keep things clean for everyone else!

[@JohnRoberts71]

[@AChe-lj7xl]

Love the feeling when the mission is accomplished for the day 😆

[@philtomb579]

[@bharshaw8960]

Awesome new video. Glad to see your still a little kid at heart and dream big things and actually do them. Now you have your Blackhawk

[@somethingtolookat808]

Excited for the video! NOT excited to see the HEMTT broke 😟 Thanks for cleaning up other people’s mess 🤨

[@sebastianschroeder5863]

So hyped for another recovery.

[@tomroy5355]

That 5 ton wrecker would have been the best bet. HMMTs aren't meant for deep snow

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

That's why we always used big solid block for our outriggers to brace off of and to spread out its load so it doesn't poke holes in the ground/blacktop or pavement.

[@bigboigaming3443]

Absolutely live watching all these recovery videos

[@spdesignsest9707]

That man who edits the videos🙌pure gold with constant content,action,lots of memes and vibes. Liking this channel a lot and long time Fan from Estonia!

[@droolguy]

Now that you know it is a failure point, you should probably make a drive line loop for it so that it doesn't cause collateral damage in the future.

[@michellerodriguez4000]

Heavy D you're one of a kind brother God bless you stay strong brother
