So happy to hear both of you are okay! You can replace vehicles, create new machines, but never get back a lost life. Take it slow, rest up, and thanx for posting this all-important info here. Doug@ the "ranch"

Dang! I'm glad you guys are OK. I'm very sorry to see your hard work get damaged. I really do think they should offer or even require some training so people know what to expect when towing serious loads. We all learn through trial by fire but some of us aren't as lucky and don't make it through. I've lost control of loads but only through this trail by fire could I save myself these days. Besides holding the wheel straight, not letting off the gas and actually accelerating (along with applying only the trailer brakes) will save you. It's our natural instinct to over-correct and apply the brakes when these situations happen. I can't believe any modern vehicle would catch on fire like that. That's scary.

The GF brought that up too that they should include towing advice along with the initial walk thru of your trailer purchase. Your totally right - that probably would of made all the difference.

Wow Jeff! So sorry to hear about this but am glad you both are ok. On the bright side, I think I know what some of your upcoming video content might consist of. Take care!

I’m so glad you are still with us! What a miracle and a great message 👍🏻

Shit guys... :( So glad you are both still with us after that. And the dogs. Gives me some bad flashbacks to my shop fire last winter. Don't know what to say, except I'm really happy you are both relatively ok. Sorry about the buggy. You'll bring her back though. :)

I can definately identify with this crash. About 12 years ago a tractor-trailer passed me but didn't complete the pass before cutting over into my lane. This move forced me off the highway and down an imbankment. Trying not to hit the huge trees at the bottom I tried to turn away. The trailer overpowered the truck and everything rolled over. Of course the tractor-trailer kept right on going like nothing happened. It seems you got knocked about much worse than I did. Thank God you survived! Things can be replaced or repaired. People, on the other hand not so easy. Take care of yourself and heal up. We'll be praying for you.

This happens a whole heck of a lot because truck drivers are always pissed they don’t make enough money for their time on the road. They are paid by the mile but the trucks are limited to a certain speed and no more. Also drivers are limited to 11 hours during any time of the day, no matter what common sense would make you believe. So this forces drivers to drive fatigued change lanes aggressively, and sit in the passing lane for minutes on end trying to pass trucks going 0.5mph slower. Because they know that half a mile an hour for 11 hours is an extra 5 miles and an extra $2-$5 in their pocket every day. That adds up quick over many months and years. There must be a change for driver compensation, reasonable driving hours, and road etiquette. Government already messed it up, they shouldn’t get involved again. Drivers just need to form a massive union and pass their own laws.

You have had a couple of bad years, hope things come together. Trailer whip is scary and I have had it happen a few times. We just have to remember stuff can be rebuilt or replaced, life can't be. You have to keep telling yourself that until it doesn't bother you any more.

Thanks for sharing . I'm happy i found ur channel last nite . I'm in New Zealand. I need positive people to watch. Do you think it's possible to run a Nissan leaf without a battery and only on a petrol generater in the trunk. I'm hoping to find dead battery leafs to play with soon.

@@testing-sp2en Hi there! Not sure how to answer your question. Actually not familiar with that car. Just purchased the battery's which they delivered. Do as much research as possible prior to purchasing anything to try to figure out if that thought will be financially feasible to execute. Some times the final job can excel the previous thought for investment. (Worried about costing too much for you!)

That sucks Jeff. We know how much pride you put into your toys. At least you'all are alive and mostly well. I always look forward to your videos, your a genius. Good luck on your recovery

😢. Man, that cart was such an awesome build, hope you get everything taken care of. Lots of personal man hours have to be re invested. That sucks, man

Took the kart to a car frame shop several days ago. Another friend told me that guy is really good. Stopped Monday - weird for me to have someone doing things for me. Looks very, very good what he has done so far. The kart will live on!

holy shit. sorry you all had to go through this but at least the two of you and the animals walked away from it. life is a funny thing. love and positivity will keep you well : ) sending support and well wishes from Perth, Scotland. Jamie

Wow Jeff sorry to hear about your bad luck accident! Glad you are both ok though!

Wow. Glad you all walked away from that. Things can go sideways in a heartbeat. The only thing we can do after is learn from it and get back on the horse. Hope you have a swift recovery.

you seem to have a big guardian angel. good to hear that all of you guys came out alive with only minor injuries. all the best. Greetings from germany

Been watching your channel for a while and am in shock over this news. Thankful that you're all OK but real sorry for your injuries and loss. Life is precious and you just never know what day might be your last. Keep the faith, Jeff.

Wow, glad everyone is okay, good lesson here about steering w trailer. Hope everything is fully covered by insurance.

Holly crap man. I'm glad your okay but man, you took good slug to the head. I hate to see such a loss of material things but they can be replaced. You could have brought this to us is so many ways but you choose to be positive. Good for you Jeff.

Glad you are ok. Stay safe.

Thank God you are OK I hope you will be able to rebuild the Kart

holy crap dude !! SO HAPPY YOU TWO ARE SAFE, dogs too ! One blessing out of this for us viewers is that you are still here with us and we get to watch some awesome videos of the rebuilds ,,,,,,,sorry it happened but already anxious to see the progress ! Edited to say that i left out the " women drivers" jokes. I thought em but i didnt say em LOL

I'm so glad you are both OK ♥️

Thankyou for the advice.

Glad you two are ok! You can replace stuff (even cool stuff) but... You can't replace a life.

Nooooooo!!! That is horrible. Why did this happen to you? Your the nicest person ever and we are all so glad your ok. Thank you for this life saving tip. Hopefully I won’t ever have to use it but you never know.

Sorry about your lost. Glade to see you are OK! Later

Sorry for your loss brother! Sure am glad you and the Mrs. are ok

So glad you both are alright. Look forward to seeing the toys after you fix them. I'm sure they will be better than before. God Bless.

WOW.......shocked. First and foremost, super glad you both survived this! Very sad to see your super nice toys in that state, but NO DOUBTS you will put them (maybe not the truck) back in better condition than they were before the mishap. Again, sorry for your troubles, but very thankful you both made it thru this. Looking forward very much to more videos from you!

That's some scary stuff Bud!! I'm glad you're both ok!!

Wow, you were really lucky! It may not seem like it but you both got out along with your pets and that's all that really matters! Stuff can be replaced but life cannot! I disagree on the airing up the tires to the maximum psi though! That means when the tire gets hot it is over it's maximum and therefore more likely to have a blowout. Having tires and vehicles that meet the load rating for what you are pulling is important along with knowing the actual weight of your trailer when it is loaded with everything is very important and people just assume they know when the truth is it usually weighs a lot more than you think!

So sorry to hear about your material loss Jeff. However like a lot,of other viewers have stated, it's the material things that can be replaced or rebuilt. Not however the lives, and none were lost in this unfortunate event. Glad you and the girlfriend and the puppies are alive and well.

I'm so very sorry for you all even little dog also. Oh my. Gol ley so sorry. Is anyone hurt. God bless you and yours. Accidents just seem to happen. I'm very sorry. Bless that little dogs heart. Tried save you. Man alive. So so sorry. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Jeff! The good Lord was with you that day and I'm really glad he was. It's heart breaking to see stuff you've poured so much time and effort into like that, but you got a toolbox and the skill to fix any broken stuff, broken people on the other hand..... well that's whole different toolbox and shop and I'd much rather be spending time in your shop! Thanks for letting us know what happened and that ya'll are alright. PS. This is just one of the reasons all my trailers over 12 ft are either 5th wheel or gooseneck

Prayers for a fast and full recovery from Shawano.

What a blessing that everyone is safe.

Wow that was a bad one and the misses was unscaved, glad you in one piece.

Wow crazy to hear and happy to hear you guys and the dog got out hoping for the best for you guys

wow, so glad you guys are ok. that was pretty intense, how quick things can happen.

I'm glad your still with us I've been in that same scenario with my dad we flipped over on the interstate he hit the brake not the gas. I'm sure you will have that stuff fixed up again like your backhoe

Holy crap! So glad you both are ok!!!

Check in on your videos from time to time. Always learn from them. Glad you all are alive and recovering. Probably have a new perspective on life after that experience.

OMG First off I'M thankful you and Kathy are ok and alive material things can be replaced. I have been towing various types of trailer since 1977 i agree with you if they start to sway do what you said to do and everything will be ok. I am so sorry to see the 3 wheeler and the go kart damaged the first video of your i ever watched and got me to sub to your channel was the first one in the series of building the kart been watching your videos every since. I will be praying for the both of. I'M sure you were shaken up for a few days after a crash like that. Good Luck and have a better week buddy!!!

Omg what a scare, im happy you are both OK !

Toys can be rebuilt ,replaced i'm just glad you guys are ok. God Bless.............

Glad you guys are alive Jeff. health is wealth. All the other shit just doesnt matter. its just stuff. Be well.

Wow this is one of those devastating crashes where your wondering did they live? Glad to hear your ok. I saw a guy pulling a 39 ft camera with a v8 explorer enough motor but not enough tow vehicle. I asked him about sway and sway bar. He told me it was bad on windy days even with a sway bar he had almost wrecked swaying a couple of times. I have towed a 30 ft camper and others for many years it can go bad fast as you know. I am glad you are both around to tell others you story and how to handle it. I was also a first responder for more than 20 years the things I have seen sometimes you just say it was just luck that no one was killed. Good luck repairing all you nice things those wheelers were beautiful.

Just happy your still here. Have lost a few over past few years that I enjoyed watching. Blessings to you.

Scary. Glad you guys are ok.

Jeff, glad to know you and the living beings were able to walk away. The rest of it is just stuff and can be replaced or just remembered. Thanks too for the Public Service Announcement. Good advice.

THANK GOD YOUR ALIVE!!! I just know you'll rebuild everything!!! Get well soon!!

That's terrible Jeff. I hate to see that. I'm glad yous are o.k. It's just things and I know you are resilliant and krafty and won't let it shake you. Like one of my Uncles used to say ....."It Ain't No Thang But A Chicken Wang."

Wow! Crap... Sure am glad everyone is okay... It is just stuff and you both are ok and that is what is important... LLAP

Glad your ok. This cud of been fatal

These toys are nothing. Your life is what is important. If you have your health, you can have anything else too.

Merry Christmas

I didn’t know about keeping steering straight when trailer start wiggling. I’ll keep it in mind.

Its me old friend. Sorry to see this happen hope your 👌

Dam That sucks. I hope your insurance treats you good. On a lighter note will make some great videos on the rebuilding process

glad you are ok, what happened to the second three wheeler? that was in the pictures that was in the front of the video?

Glad you and your puppy survived. Were you not wearing your seatbelt, or had you unfastened it to reach for the trailer break?

You were very lucky. Unfortunately this is something we see in the fire service to much. Your truck is to small for this trailer you were at best 600 lb under the capacity of your truck. Figuring dry tanks and no luggage. There is no replacement for a heavier tow vehicle and experience. As for the response time remember somebody has to make a phone call. Has to be taken down by dispatcher and toned out to the crew. Then they're turn out time and drive time start.

Holy!

I know it sucks but honestly you should be doing backflips in excitement, you could easily be dead! Remember that!

How on earth did you walk away from that? I was going to say that you were lucky but that didn’t sound right.

Sorry dude that really sucks, but its way better than dead. Get better!!

I hope Jeff is not drinking alcohol Sorry, but he seems to be a little short on sound judgment. That’s two strikes… ; tic tac toe, 2jeffs in a row. :( Thanks for posting. Thumbs up.
