Couple Solo Recoveries

- čas přidán 20. 01. 2023
- Got a call on a Sunday evening to get a 4runner off of Fins And Things Trail. Went in and pulled it out to the main road, then carried it down to the parking lot so an on-road tow truck could come and get it. Then an evening recovery of a car stuck up on Polar Mesa above Onion Creek. Had to use the tire chains and a winch to get it done. Hopefully soon the lockers will be here for Ol Blue. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Rory, a lot of us appreciate the effort you go though to make these vids. Thank you.
Rory it's not always about the filming, it's the experience you have to tell others who have never driven in the mountains or even snow for that matter. Thanks
Amen !
Hell this was an excellent video! I for one am real happy that you put it up here. You did real good, especially for a one man crew , I really appreciate you taking us along! 👍💯
All that experience is really showing. Great video!
I really appreciate you doing this in putting up your content.
The commentary on the way to the Subaru was hilarious AND spot on. The lack of common sense of people putting themselves AND THEN others in potential harms' way (in order to be rescued) is amazing to be polite. It is one thing to be fairly prepared for an eventuality while four-wheeling and shit happen, but to just say "screw it, let's do this" is just nuts. I give you guys major kudos for running a recovery business in this terrain and in all weather/visibility conditions.
Citidiots!
It’s a Subaru thing. I guess.
Does he actually come by in the morning and “Settle-up”? I guess we will never know….
Just wait till the Subaru guys and gals read this comment. Getting my popcorn 🍿 ready
I do not like the traction control, it sucks in the sand. But overall Subaru is a fine snow car, but people seem to think, maybe because of the commercials, that it is Raptor capable.
Dude you did great for being a solo, snowy, night recovery. And recording it all yourself with no help. Keep the videos coming.
I grew up in the mountains and have hiked throughout my life. One thing the SAR guys and the pros always tell you: Turning around when it gets bad means you live to hike another day. Same can be said for wheeling.
guess everyone is lucky the SAR dont turn around when it gets bad.😂
@@iffykidmn8170 some days they do. The first thing you learn is to not become part of the problem. Some times all they can do is hunker down if the weather gets knarly. Its people who go in when they are not properly prepared, then get in over their heads.
@@RowanHawkins Retired FF so it was more like regrouping for us and go from a different direction or tactic, working with SAR volunteers.👍Doing SAR at my age I would now be a liability, I have started to do volunteer offroad recoveries as a way to continue giving back to my community.
I'm glad you posted this up, Rory. Your team is terrific, but the skill and experience you bring makes it exceptional. I don't know what it is about the human condition that makes us think that if we just keep going in impossible conditions, somehow things will get better; a hundred Trail Mater videos say it never does.....
Part of the purchase of a Subaru includes a brainwashing 101 class at a mall parking lot. In the class you'll be given a flat brimmed hat, 80's style neon sunglasses, ear stretching gauge set, 8" subwoofers and EDM music, a carabiner for pulling you backwards because you will not be able to continue forwards, a chip for your shoulder, shorts with leg warmers built in, a false sense of superiority and a lesson on how to rev the engine 43 times as you let out the clutch.
Out there all alone and still get those fantastic shots, your filming skills for a Recovery Expert are great.
Cheers Rory happy subscriber here from England 🏴
The job is certainly different over there compared to here! I might risk a holiday over there to see it first hand. Rory would get bored doing our job here lol.
Rory and Ole Blue gettin er dun. Always a pleasure to watch a professional 😎👍
i like the sound of blue. it sounds old, and that's meant as a compliment.
Blue was a very good purchase 👌👍
A throwback to the old days... but with some light. You done good Rory. I ask myself more than once "what were these people thinking... if anything at all" on a regular basis. It's business, but the injury and damage aspect is really at the heart of it. Ol Blue has been wanting lockers. There'll be no stopping it. Thanks for posting this. A cool video and another cautionary tale.
Rory my wife and I ask the same question! We are country folk back here in Western Kansas. We love watching your videos and Matt's Off Road Recovery! I'm telling you we are just amazed at the people who take their vehicles (that are not capable of off roading) off road!!
I have 440 subscriptions ( I'm not young ) Trail Mater is my favorite. It could not be much better even if you had a million $ budget.
These people, don't know how lucky and blessed they are, to have you and your crew, Matt and his crew etc to come and save them.. but you can't protect all of them.. Hopefully they learn a lesson and don't do it again.. Thanks for watching.. couldn't resist..
HEY! Hello and thumbs UP!!
Good afternoon on a Saturday, great time for a ride along with Rory an another great adventure
@@jeffclark2725 Absolutely! 👍
Hey Rory you look like you could use a vacation buddy 🥴 🏖🏝 you & your crew are welcome to come hang out with us at our ranch east of San Diego.
We promise not to ask you to recover anything or even annoy you with too much small talk while you RnR.
Much respect to you 👏 for operating under difficult circumstances alone.
I shake my head sometimes in disbelief at the lack of good judgment in people, it can be deadly.
Again thank you for your concern for your fellow humans plus the skill in retrieving the wayward & the class an humility with which you do it...😇
That’s awesome of you to offer him that, I hope he sees it! I love about 90 minutes north of Moab & had a similar feeling about an out of state youtuber couple that does a lot of good , as a divorced dad I told them if they ever wanted to snowboard Utah resorts or head to Moab, on a week I don’t have my daughters they could stay for free at my place in my daughters rooms & I could take them up to the resorts or down to Moab if they chose & get them to and from the airport. Hotels and car rentals are a lot of the cost of vacation so I just put it out there & the female responded saying they’d actually love to take me up on it this winter or go to Moab in the spring, said they were really excited as they’ve never been to Utah so I’m looking forward to helping them have a break and experince. Whether Park City resort or the different world of Moab I’m sure they’ll enjoy themselves. A nice way to return the favor to great yourbers who help others, that’s awesome of you to offer Rory that. Works 7 days a week on call 24/7,.and doing so many recoveries for free he deserves it! 👍👍
Hi Rory, you astound me that you can be so pleasant and calm with someone who does that 😉
Rory you are nothing but a jack-of-all-trades and take care of yourself, Shawn and Mike are there to help you take advantage of it
Exactly right Rory, we don’t want to see anybody hurt. I have a good friend with a Subaru and it is an amazing machine. We learned our lesson a couple of winters ago. I made a silly comment about how capable it was mere moments before we slid into a huge rock. A tow was necessary. Thanks for posting and great solo work.
I wish Subaru would reincarnate the on the fly 4wd for a modern versatile machine.
Great video. Living in Canada, you either learn your limits for driving in snow, or, like the Subaru, you get stuck and stranded. Your comments are spot on.
We here appreciate you and what you will do to help people out of their problems. Keep on truckin
Awesome job Rory. I call this a one man does it all . The camera work on the first one was amazing. You do have the most beautiful office view.
Thanks, this one was fun to watch, glad you poster it.👍👍👍
very nice Rory great job say hi to Miss Lilly
It’s the Mike and Shawn show spin off. We’ll call it Trail Mater. It’ll be the best recovery channel out there. You’re really good at your job.
I always am looking forward to your videos, I like your straightforward honesty and the scenery.🙂
“By we I mean me” 😂 twice 🤘😂
Great as always!! Especially the added drama of the truck getting crossways of the road!!
I could really feel your worry about 4 wheelers feeling like they can get out on those trails. I’ve watched enough of your videos to know better!!
Great job Rory, you made the recovery and somehow managed to film too. My hat's off to you!
Thanks Rory. I remember when you were solo and didn’t say 2 words! You’ve come a long way!
Thanks for the entertainment!
This should be good 👍
It's a Subaru thing, can't be explained, Casey at Cascade Heavy Rescue says the same thing
Still couple good recoveries
Thank you rory. For every bs comment you get there's 100s of us that genuinely love the channel. Thanks for recording.
Must agree with you. The inner sense of seriously getting hurt,(not necessarily them but you) really kicks in when you know you have exceeded your own boundaries of safe practices, especially to retrieve someone not familiar with the area. Good job my dear, you just might have dodged a bullet on this one! And- really thanks for taking us along.....
Great job as usual 👏
You'd be surprised to hear some people's rationale when it comes to their cars vs trails. I was MTBing up a truck trail and a Subaru pulls by me asking if it gets any more difficult. I said yeah because her vehicle wouldn't be able to get to the very top of the mountain; her vehicle had stock suspension, city tires, and not enough clearance. She then says "I think I'll be OK, I have a Subaru, it's AWD". About an hour later almost to the top, saw the Subaru high centered on a big rock, oil leaking, and 2 trucks trying to carefully pull the Subaru out. What a day...
I was riding my XT600 on the Black Bear Road in Colorado one time, and I was going over 2 foot rock ledges. I saw a guy in a stock older Jeep Wagoner. I stopped and he asked me if his rig would make it. I told him that for sure he was going to drag bottom on all of the ledges. I asked him how tough his undercarriage was? He then said that "I think I had better turn around." I told him that it would be a wise move.
Ardent fan from Kenya. Keep up the good work.
Rory going solo on these two recovery's and doing an awesome job recovering them. Ole Blue is the right choice in the cold because it has a closed in cab to keep you warm. Nice of Rory to let Mike and Sean have time off to be with their families. Good job Rory!
Hey Fam 👆 Congratulations You've Won A Prize 👆 🎁 Happy New Year 🥳🥳
Rescuing another customer safely, you're awesome
GREAT videos! Man the scenery in the first one was gorgeous!
Great Video. Even if you had to Solo. I am always amazed of your professional attitude and technical capacity. Thanks
I love how your paint booth is a store-bought spray can and cardboard masking
I like the bath towels best!
@@DoctorHayduke Bath towels and old sheets work great. LOL
And still as good as Robby Layton(!?!). Nearly.🙂
@@fredfred4086 Oh BETTER, MUCH better. Like new. Oh ya, new sheetmetal has it's faults. So no, not as good as Robby Layton. LOL
You and your crew always make me smile with your never fail attitudes. Great video as always!
As a Flatlander who's spent some decades in the mountains, it's a City People thing. Most Country Boys know better because they don't expect to get any help.
Heck when I got stuck in the snow, scouting for fishing locations, decades ago in my Dodge 4x4 the wife told me she'd get someone to come looking for me after 3 days. It took me 20 hours of digging to dig under the pickup and dig a trench out. Now I have a TJ with a 10,000 lb wench that I use all to often. I'm always looking for uneducated fish and deer.
I would LOVE to see what a 10,000 lb wench looks like! whoooooo BABY! ;)
You've got a 10,000 lb wench? I bet y'all don't dine out very much.
No sorry… it’s not a city thing… many cities like mine have horrendous climbs. From 200m to 1000m here. And City Hall, hospital, church and station can be on the top of a hill. They are too stupid and entitled to watch the weather forecast, they don’t consider which car they have and then, if they still decide to go onto the mountains, too stupid to stop and go back at the first signs of problems.
A wench is a pirate bar maid. A winch is on the front of your truck.
@@padmeamidala4883 Unfortunately you're probably right. Being "Clueless" is not limited to any one group, ethnic or otherwise, or location. They're everywhere and they're multiplying!!
Rory, I don't get why other people do that either, they put other people's lives at risk to come and get them... It was great to see that you showed even you get into trouble and how you get out of these things.. others would probably not show that part. Rory, I love watching your videos do not stop being you and how you do things.. keep up the great videos.
Guess you should watch some of the more popular recovery channels most show their ooooooooooops moments.
Been watching for months and still impressed by the skill. Thanks for keeping it real!
Its so cool how well you know your equipment
People want to experience adventures in life so they just go do stuff instead of sit behind their keyboard, that's why...it's all good and it's great that there's people like you that are there for those adventures.... Or they've had too many edibles. I love your channel.
Glad you put it that way Chad. I've been an adventure junky all my life. At 72, last August, I spent 3 weeks in the Idaho wilderness camping and white water rafting 3 sections of the Salmon River. There might have been some cliff jumping and floating through rapids without the raft. It was a trying adventure, but I loved it, bruises and a broken toe included. 😆
Thank you Rory. Great video, and as much as I love Shawn and Mike, it was fun to watch your recoveries like in the ol’ days of the channel. You rock!!!! 🇨🇦
You did awesome for solo with the camera Rory...glad everyone was ok!
Can't wait for the next video...have a great weekend guys.
You did good filming by yourself
Great job Rory, always good to watch what you do on the recoveries and in the shop, I had to give up my repair shop because I wore my body out but I miss being there working.
So Wise , Thank You . Two more fine rescues , Thank You for the reminder that the road does NOT care who you are . Winches , Yankum ropes and Chains rule
If it’s a struggle Rory, we wouldn’t have guessed it. You make it look like a walk in the park
That blue truck is the coolest wrecker I've ever seen. No offense, 'Mater.
You are never boring! Love your adventures :)
Your the man Rory
You're
It is nice that you respect your employees and give them some time off. Enjoyable as always! Thank you.
Hey, we appreciate the videos ! Thanks Rorey !
Thanks for posting this video. You did a great job filming. Sometimes people just make bad decisions. I hope they realize how lucky they are that someone is around to bail them out. 👍
That was good solid rescuing work! Now tell us more about this ghost!?
Great job man. Some people never learn. Stay safe and warm and God be with you. Thanks for the video.
Ol BLUE …🙌💯💪👍HOOKIN N BOOKIN
Great content Rory!! Thx for all your extra effort you put into this video!!
Great content for doing it all solo Well Done 👍
I love that purple strap. Really stands out. Keep up the good work.
Very well done! Great skill combined with compassion for those who venture out without realizing the possible consequences are what make you a genuine marvel in this world!
I was born and raised in Ohio. I did a lot of backpacking in the late 80's up until about 10 years ago. The stupid things I saw people do just boggles my mind. We were day hiking in Glacier and were coming down from Ptarmigan Tunnel. We went up for lunch and it started snowing and was close to mid-day. We packed up our gear and headed down. We were almost back to the parking lot, it's late afternoon and some kid is going up with his shorts, tennis shoes, little gym bag and a bottle of water. I asked "where are you going"? He was heading up to the tunnel. I said that it's snowing up there. He says naw, and takes off heading up to it. Just crazy.
I agree with you Rory. These days everybody can get a weather report sitting on the toilet. Hauling campers, passenger vehicles far out in the sticks with the expectation of rescue by cell phone is a dumb way to go through life. Ive traveled in that area since the 80s. We walked to check out conditions when it was iffy. Carried shovels , overnight gear and always planned on self rescue. Yup, old guy.
Ol BLUE IS A BEAST!!!!!
Don't thank us for watching , THNK you for posting this vid .
People believe AWD is the same as 4WD, and it is not. People don't understand that 4WD just gets you deeper into trouble if you don't know what you're doing and sometimes when you know what you are doing. Wheel smart and never wheel alone.
Woohoo new video
Rory, I agree with "don't keep going up in snow". That only leads to trouble at night.
The raw solo footage is honestly solid. As much as I enjoy watching all the other Utah offroad youtubers, I like seeing the content you put out.
Its a blue collar working man, making a living, and showing us keyboardians what its really like.
Much love Rory, all the way from BC Canada
Rory it is called Common since, they forget it at home, most of the time they really do not have any.
You can't explain stupid!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
It’s rough being the Lone Ranger and be the chief, cook and bottle washer. Excellent video.😎
...good one. keep safe...
Great job Rory. Glad all went ok.
Rory, you made an excellent point about not wanting to see anybody hurt, then you could have been seriously injured had the ice put you down over the hill! Eddie
Ol blue works great keep sending them videos thanks 👍
Awesome video 📹
You did a great job love the video
Thanks for bringing us with, Rory. You were wearing a lot of hats that day!
Thanks for bringing us along. Old blue never disappoints. Even without lockers
Hey Fam 👆 Congratulations You've Won A Prize 👆 🎁 Happy New Year ✅️ 🤗🤗
It's nice when you're pulling someone who knows how to be pulled down the street, but it looks detrimental that they know how to be pulled while out in areas like the off roads of Moab with it's obstacle course.
He still ran over the rope
Watching your channel and Matt's channel, I often wonder what are some of these people thinking taking some of their vehicles into areas they have no business being in.
This is what CZcams is all about, thanks
You did an awesome job Rory!!!🙋♂️💯🙏👍 👏
Green Leader - Star Wars reference, maybe? And at the closing monologue - anyone else see Gerard Butler?
Oh yeah, I thought that sounded familiar.
👍
Thank you so much for not using click bait titles. I love the people and the scenery on your great channel!
Rory going back to his roots. One man band.
The Subaru owner was trading it in ?????
Everyone drives it like they stole it before you get rid of it 😉😂✌️
Gotta a great idea for your channel. Get a retired dope sniffing dog to accompany you on inexplicable after dark recoveries.
Running over the rope goes hand in hand with running a snorkel
GREAT SOLO RECOVERIES. BUT ON YOUR 2ND ONE. I AGREE 100% 👍👍👍👍🚙🚙🚙😎
It's not a car, it's a Subaru, they are unstoppable don't you know
LOL
