With that first tight squeeze I would have dropped the jeep then winched it through the trees so you could use the Jeep's steering, instead of cutting down the tree

Drop the Jeep and rerig it. 45 minutes. Chainsaw. 3 minutes and firewood. Chainsaw for the Win!

I could watch your videos all day and do nothing else.. you rock

Good thing the guy was in the jeep. I know a lot of modern wreckers have a chain that hangs out the back of the body through a chain grab cut into the body that they use, or, well, are supposed to use, when road traveling. I used to follow a youtuber named Reponut who discussed those safety chains a few times and I've seen them hanging off the back of trucks sometimes.

Could have ratchet strapped the single tree into the group of 5 to the right and just bent the tree enough to get past it

Most wreckers I know of on road have a pair of safety chains connected to the chassis of the towed vehicle back to chain hooks welded to the wrecker body. Crossed over so they don't bind up on sharp corners and completely independent of each other and of the main towing hookup, I'm surprised you haven't done this before given the harsh environment you tow in.

Problem is is anything tied between the sling and the truck bed will bind up given the terrain he goes through. When I'm in rough country in my 85 GMC I don't use safety chains til I'm back on pavement

Nice one, it happens, but a safety device would be a good idea... stay safe BSF

if you would have locked up the rear of the jeep it would have tracked straight with the truck or just lower the jeep on the ground so he could have steered it around the tree

no fun when they come loose . i have had that happen to me too. i was lucky i had an extra chain on it that kept it together and it really shoved the old truck around . glad i was going slow when it came loose . that one safety chain is all that saved it . didn't do any damage . lucky is right . makes your heart jump too.lol safe wheeling and keep 'em coming .

Why not set the Jeep down and flat tow him so he can steer through the tight parts, then re hook him..

i would have unhooked then just used tow strap and let guy steer it around trree

LOL I hear ya but obviously common sense didn't come into play here. And I'm talking about the wrecker driver not the keyboard warriors. If he didn't have so many videos on KZread I'd think that was his first tow.

If that wrecker proves its worth, you should put the money in it that it deserves.

I've missed your videos of recoveries.....Just clicked on 11 videos to watch later! ^_^

thanks for your time

.Thanks for the new post.

So I'm not the rocket scientist, but instead of cutting trees, why did you not drop the jeep and use the cable to pull...let the owner of the jeep behind you steer around the obstacle??? yes, it might be rough but he should still be able to steer.

Maybe should of made sure tree was on ground before leaving, just made a widow maker

at least he had a chainsaw on him how many Wreckers do you know carry a chainsaw with them LOL great video

Why didn't you let the Jeep down and just leave the cable hooked to the Jeep and just tow the Jeep and let the driver steer the Jeep out past the trees to where you can hooked it up and take him to where it has to go.

an elastic recovery rope like the bubba rope would b good for pullin people outta the woods its stretchy so u dont have that jolt when the strap tensions i found one of the short bubba ropes layin on the trail its my favorite strap iv ever used

Holy Jeep destruction!

Should have lowered the sling and he could have steered the tow vehicle enough to avoid the tree slaughter.

Definitely do not want this guy towing a hot wheels vehicle.

Don't worry yours is safe

only times i broke any chains is when jerking them with the tractor pulling stumps and the chain being slightly compromised by being drug at some point

Nice work

I would not called for a tow! There's other vehicles that could have flat towed the HEEP back.

i'm going to go with the easiest guess, the new safety feature now is one of you'r people to sit in the drivers seat/check brakes! God was on your side with this one just glad it didn't happen any worse!

Why would you ever use the hook vs. strap for a rig with working wheels and steering?

that's a nice older truck

Awesome cool 🆒️ 😎 👍

let me guess either chains or cables that go from the loops of the boom arm down the tow bar and a safety chain hooked from wrecker to to vehicle.

Reminds me of my uncle cut the tree down that would be his fix can't get over the road move the road hahaha your awsome bro

Should have been a flat tow to begin with. you wouldn't have had to cut the tree down.

James Schrumm is saying he should have flat towed instead what he did. Tho I feel picking up the front is a better option but could have switched to flat tow for a few minutes but truly 1 tree wont hurt anything. He dosent cut down trees often and you saw how much he tried to not cut the tree down.

so is this a offroad park that u recover these vehicles at, if so do u own it or just work there

WADR - Think you could get that Chevy V8 running on at-least 4 cylinders? It'd be an improvement!

The narration killed me.... the tree was lucky he didn't have to listen to this guy talk lol

You used a come along to move the Jeep, why not just attach it to a bigger tree and pull the smaller tree over a few inches to get the Jeep by it?

Team! Yes...

have words to oxy your videos for a long time where is this place located and how much do they charge to ride out there and what are you charge to tow somebody in

More important to use safety chains on every tow

What a fun job problem solving 101

With all bouncing around and tight turns i'm surprised haven't had more pop off the wrecker. But this is a good example as to why u have owner ride in the rig being towed.

Man where do you begin on the mistakes made here.

They should have put all 4 tires of the jeep on the ground for better control of it.

Instead for all the time turning the jeep around tow it from the rear it was not disabled to the point it could not roll on the front wheels then the jeep has the capability of maneuvering itself thru the trails

Amazing how many people go off-road in 2wd trucks and Jeep's. no lockers to be found anywhere

I don't know why everyone is complaining about a tree being cut down. This forest looks way too think and that tree looked diseased as well.

if you make that boom swivel it will solve a lot of your problems

Did they ever think about just putting the guys window down?

Hold the camera straight holy shh!!!

Wheres this at?

the rear wheels are following the ruts

Hahaha I bet you couldn't back a trailer out of a tight spot if your life depended on it

set jeep back on wheels and you can steer it through! dhuh

Really? Just flat tow the dam Jeep, then he could of just steered around the dam tree!

You could have move out wide to the other side of the trail. It seems clear to me
