Here is a thought from an old Cowboy from Seligman AZ, carry a bottle or two of rubber cement with you. Those small thorns don't come out easy but if you lather some rubber cement over them let is set up you can peel the cement off and the thorns will come with it even the little hair ones that you can't see they tend to wake you up later in the night letting you know you missed something. Good Luck Pards.

Matt is trying to preserve the nature, park rangers go "nah, just drive around". This is truly a testament on how good build the Wrecker is. I do not think the camera picked up how steep that area is.

[@Patrick.Weightman]

It's a fertile area, it'll all grow back. But leaving a destroyed vehicle will pollute and entice others to risk their safety to salvage parts off it

[@demoths]

I love seeing Matt's love for nature, and the care he puts into leaving the land better than he found it (well, when possible). A truly wise man

[@diegomonroy2317]

I think the ranger was more worried about the destruction the wrecker banging around could lead to. He also knew the vegetation they would drive over would grow back and be less risky. That’s why even said he didn’t want to tell how to do his job but also tell Matt it was ok to drive over some vegetation to make it safer for all. The rangers out here love nature just as much as Matt does.
