I'd been wondering where my fellow Eric had gone to. Guessing he's often doing the regular road tow jobs most of the time, but he often seems to end up on really tricky jobs when Matt is away. His skills & knowledge as well as no fuss attitude always impress the heck out of me. This was one of the toughest technical jobs for awhile I think, but it didn't seem to bother Eric at all. Great support from the rest of the crew too!

I'm glad someone voiced concern. Weather his recoveries after the first were just the results of being in shook up, injury, drugs, or some combination of them this guy really probably shouldn't have been driving. With that said I hope he's doing well

I don't know what is more impressive - Eric's skill or the fact that Gladiator actually started and drove out.

I think someone is having an issue with deception. He needs to figure out the width of his vehicle. Just staying as far to the high side as he can get would have prevented him from rolling it and the other sliding-off-the-edge incident he had. lol. My advice to everyone driving trails you don't know very well is to get out and take a look when you come across a narrow area. Just pull up to it and get out and walk past it and look back at your tire width to see where you need to place your tires. And when it's a sandy area like that, make sure your tires are as far away from the edge as you can possibly get them even if you have to run over some rocks or brush, and if the edge is really soft and you can't get far enough from it, then turn around because the edge can/will collapse as it looks like it did here. Glad he and his dog weren't hurt.

And THAT ladies and gentlemen, is why i watch this channel faithfully!!!!!!!!

The fact that that thing flipped back over and literally drove off speaks volumes for that vehicle. Trash talk a jeep all you want... That impressed me.

A tip from a guy that spent 20yr's on Puget Sound working with Danforth anchors. A 100lb anchor is good enough to hold a 100ft barge in 4ft swells with a real flat draw in 40knot wind. Completely bury the anchor in the sand or dirt, get the flutes buried completely. Leave the chain out or lock it in some boulders, hook a short loop choker to a block your looking at close to10 tons of hold. There is zero you will be able rescue of that weight. with your rigs to loose it. That anchor will fit in the back, or use 2 smaller ones in v shaped set. This is for a tail hold or a side pull block. Good luck on your adventures in recovery

Eric is one of my favorites of the MORR crew. Good to see him again and pulling off such a nice recovery. I am confused if that customer was just shook up from the accident or impaired or just a bad driver, but he seemed to really be having a hard time driving that day.
