Completely agree and I was going to post something very similar, spare fuel, keys & for crying out loud chains if you go out in the snow & ice. Rubber vs ice is no contest-the ice will win.First base in Europe to fit chains. Sorry for criticism but your procedures need tightening up.. ..because you have committed all 3 offences a number of times. You never forget to fill up with food though! Great videoes & team though, I always tune in. Mike

Since Matt has forgotten the keys on a number of rescues I think its only fitting punishment that on the next 3 rescues Tom must ask Matt "Do we have the Keys" every 10 minutes. This will reinforce the memory of checking for the keys in both parties. I love your videos, And yes I believe in tough love.

Put a phone on a long stick and get it as high as possible. Open your phone as a hotspot and make the call from a phone linked to the hotspot, or from the radio info system if it has a bluetooth link. You can make a dish shaped reflector out of aluminum foil for extra range. Text messages work better than voice. Your phone will try several times to get the text message through.

Love how Ed called exactly what happened with the tailgate! He’s seen enough in his lifetime to know exactly what happened.

Tom's punishment is to remember to ask Matt if he has completed the checklist.

You guys are the best 4x4 channel going. Dumb question for you folks. Why is it you never use chains when dealing with ice?

It looks like ya'll could use some Pewag ASV tire chains, even some Pewag Brenta-C tire chains would be a million times better than what you had. But you got them out, that's important, great job.

Tomtom’s punishment should be to formulate a pre-recovery checklist. You should have a routine that occurs before EVERY call to avoid mistakes like this. Using a challenge response method to complete the checklist will involve two parties and greatly reduce the opportunity for mistakes to occur. This is what we do in aviation for each step of the flight. You guys have already employed this tactic with your 6 steps when entering a customers vehicle.

Matt, as the leader of the group, should develop a "check list" of everything that may or will be needed on the recovery that is not already loaded in the rescue vehicles and go over that check list prior to leaving the shop! Tom-Tom did NOT hear the order and therefore is not responsible for the missing keys.

Ok at 19:50 y'all got me. I was so invested into the dang video I actually got a little jump 😂

Great recovery, as always! You're right about the use of caravan: in France they use it (caravane) for both a camper trailer or a string of vehicules doing a long journey together. Here in Quebec, the mostly french-speaking part of Canada, we use the word "roulotte" for a camper-trailer but we use the word "remorque" for a trailer not used for camping/living. Now you can "word-drop" french words in your videos! Cheers!

There's a gentleman in Colorado that has you guys to thank because if not for this channel, I would NOT have had the confidence to get him unstuck last night, just simple stuck in the snow but you can damage a lot doing this stuff.

Don't forget the kitchen sink.

I feel sorry for Tom... everyone is aloud to make a mistake...so take him to lunch because you are so lucky to have such good people to help you

And to top them all off, Ed, “WOW, did the trailer come loose?”

Man, Ed is sharp, "Trailer come loose ?".

You know how you have lizzy inventory and make sure the ropes , shackles et.. are in there for every recovery? You delegated that task but it's on you to make sure it's getting done! Same with Keys! Any and all deal breaker tasks fall to the boss. You don't get out of this one Matt.

If your going to blame Tom, my suggestion would be to get Tom to make up a checklist of stuff you guys need before each rescue. Get it laminated, supersize it if you have to and mark it off before you leave every time to make sure you have everything.

This is so worth rewatching. All the funny cracks you guys are making is hilarious.

Great spot you found!!! I'm amazed at how the folks found the copper back during those days.

Tire Chains and Winter Tires on all 4, they make a huge difference, especially for recovery vehicles. Please, at least keep chains in the vehicles, we don't want to lose you, guys and gals ... love your videos. While you're at it, maybe get some of those mini chains that fit your boots too for those slippery slopes. As for the keys ... we all make mistakes, keys happen.

Your teams should add a satellite communicator like the Garmin Inreach or Zoleo to each of your rigs. Then you can send text messages from wherever you are and if you get into real trouble you've got the SOS feature to call for more help.

In some vids you can see a Garmin inreach mounted in the morrvair, I don't know if those can communicate if you have more of them?

Inreach is a great little device. It's saved me once already.

Excellent Production! Thank you for sharing your successful mission with the DJI 30T🙏👏

How does Matt ALWAYS leave keys behind??😂😂😂 Its his responsibilty as the boss. I would recommend getting a HAM operators license so you dont have to rely on cell service.

Jaime, you scared the heck out of me with the edited "explosion". Thought you and the rest watching would get a kick out of that. Great recoveries!!

There should be no "punishment" Matt is ultimately responsible as the leader to make sure, in the process of recovery, that all aspects of every recovery are covered. Tim probably felt terrible enough. Add this to the beginning of the checklist process!

You can't be too harsh on him, we've all done it. I once snow catted in ten miles to the top of a mountain only to look at my buddy and we both realized nobody brought keys. I of course blamed it on my buddy.

There’s not many that could do what you do Thankyou for that and the entertainment

Ending scene is epic! Love how Robby and Ed knew instantly what happened just from the damage. Great edit!
