Good morning Casey! I am glad that the people that were in the Toyota are okay. That was a steep embankment, it was pretty amazing that the truck stayed upright. Sorry about your 360 Camera , maybe the makers will send you a new one. I am going to send them an e mail and ask! Thanks for taking us along Casey and of course thumbs UP!! 👍

[@jackblah5842]

It can't hurt to ask Insta360 to send you a replacement. You are really using that camera to get the shots that are difficult if not impossible with a regular rig.

[@nbrowser]

Yeah, knowing whoever was in that truck was ok...that's the main thing out of this.

[@psychosk8er]

I’m always fascinated by how much cameras will flatten out terrain.

[@dwaynet2184]

It won't do that if you see someone standing on the hill looking crossways , with the person standing up straight then it reveals the angle of the ground.

[@aliceevans3357]

Unfortunately sometimes the terrain will also flatten out cameras 😥 as in this video.

[@DawnaSchwab]

I absolutely love watching a real tow truck driver. Towing is a creative way to express yourself. It's art

[@smarthome2660]

Easy recovery, from my living room. You always make it look so easy though. Some insurance companies can be difficult to deal with. When my 4x4 truck got totaled they didn't even look at it, and wanted to give me $4,400. I told them to look at it and see that it is a special edition worth approx. 3x that. They called the body shop and asked which truck it was, then paid the correct amount which was $11,500.00. This was put towards my new truck costing $40,000.00. My old truck was so bad, it was not even worth buying back to try to salvage anything. Two good things were I doubled my towing capacity from 6,000lbs. to 12,000lbs. & added an extended cab.

[@imagseer]

Good recovery and giving us sensible reasons why not to tow one of those backwards, and not to pull out in front of tow trucks! Your footage from the beautiful part of Oregon you live in probably boosts the local tourist trade in both summer and winter and I hope you get the camera fixed or replaced asap.

Hi Casey. I am 81 yrs old and enjoy watching your channel. I was pleased that you explained how KZbin works and how you get financially rewarded. You’ll be pleased to know when I watch your show I let all the commercials run their scheduled times to make sure you get the maximum payment. I’m a former radio and tv producer and your doing a truly professional presentation. I once done a few years driving trucks ( road trains) in the Northern Territory of Australia. They pull 3 trailers moving cattle and machinery to the various gold mines. I got sick of office life and always wanted to drive trucks as my father done. Your a good man Casey.. keep up the good work. Regards Bill . Australia.

Thanks to RJ for helping, and thanks for his work with the fire department. Nice young man helping you. I appreciate your work Casey, and especially you helping folks in need. I was in those shoes recently, $338.00 for a rollback to get a vehicle from point A to point B. I didn't complain because I saw how hard he worked and I also thought about how hard you work helping folks. All I had left was 5 dollars but I convinced him to take it so he could get a cold drink- it was over 100° here in Oklahoma that day. Thanks for all you do. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@davidmcelfresh3024]

I use my 4WD on most dirt and gravel roads just for the added stability. I often go into low range on steeper rocky trails so I don’t have to ride the brakes so much. I’d rather drive slower and safer than risk unnecessary damage or overheated brakes.

One thing I really appreciate about mine is having low range with an open centre diff. On really tight, steep but high traction surfaces and especially when towing it's great.

As you were talking about why you used 4 wheel drive, it reminded me of times not to use 4 wheel drive. I have a mile and a half drive out to the mailbox. Last winter was the first use of a Polaris to get the mail. Icy road so 4-wheel drive to get up the hill away from the house, level for a mile, then a 12% downhill to cross a creek before uphill to the road. I came to the little, hill started down and took my foot off the throttle and became a Polaris snow disk. After that, it was 2-wheel drive down that hill so I could steer. .

If the lens on the 360 camera is plastic you might be able to save it with some brasso metal polish in the blue and white can with wadding. It takes the top most layer off the plastic enough to smooth out the gouges and make it nice and clear again.

[@vangoodwin7335]

Casey, Thank You for showing us one use for your little tires. I firmly believe you should explain to everyone that they are to prevent you from TURTLEing the long pickup/ wrecker. They can be mounted in the middle of the truck to roll over tall objects that might otherwise high center your rig. Young man I do worry about your viewers that actually asked about their use. As a wood worker I've made custom ergonomic canoe and kayak paddles from exotic woods. I think the buyers of my paddles asked the stupid questions of you. Why? Because I keep seeing my paddles as home decor rather then being put to use in rivers and lakes, it's a crying shame. Fine work recovering that pickup and staying safe. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@ZombieKillerRex]

Casey 4wd down hill helps the road too, but most importantly, is that you have the immediate ability to back up, when encountering uphill traffic, which as you know, has the right of way.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Nope, I have the right of way.

[@scudderville]

The lenses are likely replaceable and if light scratches repairable. The oem has a repair center in Irvine. Although not an insta360 I've replaced badly scratched 360 cam lenses; after which I immediately bought lens protectors. Good luck. Enjoyed the vid, thanks for sharing it.

[@justanothergunowner3772]

I always thought the little wheel on top of your truck was in case you flipped it, you could just engage them and keep driving😂

How almost human was the camera looking at Casey stopping, zoom in as he was climbing out and following him and looking up to be picked up! 5 Years ago that would have been "witchcraft"! Fantastic recovery of the Toyota and camera!

Casey does all that in editing. The 360 cam records everything, he just shows us the section that makes sense for the video.

[@christopherjahn2044]

Even if it's going to be totaled out, the shop can collect storage fees for it until the insurance company arranges a scrap pickup. Or the shop can collect the sfrap fee. It's win/win.

Hopefully if the 360 Camera is repairable it doesn't cost as much as the full camera did when you bought it. Tough break there. Best of luck to you.
