May have to try this

Maybe this low T thing has something to do with so many people not knowing their "pronouns"? lol
Heavy D needs a Chinook helicopter for recovery
i wonder if anyone makes air lockers for the hemet axles.
It seems like a heavy lift helicopter should be in your recovery vehicle arsenal since you can fly them and always end up in crazy recovery areas that the big rides have a hard time reaching.
I think if he did that he would probably wind up losing a lot of money because cars really aren't that expensive if he's even able to scrap them and without a title or a mechanics lean and he shouldn't even be able to sell it in
@@benjaminsmith6800 True, but then again, they basically do this as a civic service, for free. And Dave has the hangar space and pilot's license already, so he wouldn't have the overhead cost most people do.
@@benjaminsmith6800 might make it back doing the vlogging. id be stoked to see a heavy lift helicopter or a video explaining why he doesn’t have one lol
The point of these recoveries is the content for CZcams. Come in quick with a helicopter would get pretty boring really fast.
@@Lochlann13 he mentioned in his last flying video that the helicopter he had flown was newer and he had something else that he couldn't reveal but maybe a HD copter.
What you're saying about overhead doesn't make any sense, you always have it regardless if you have the license and hanger already. You pay bills every month to have a hanger and aviation license the overhead doesn't just disappear. Dave has what most people don't because he's willing to go further than most people ever will.
Y’all are a spectacular group of guys. Your “no trash in MY backyard” attitude is one to be copied and admired by more people in this country. Because of this I started doing the same thing around my own neighborhood in Ohio. I don’t have the equipment to recover and remove abandoned cars, but the day before yesterday I was thinking of y’all as I picked up boxes (7) of trash and old clothes that someone either tossed or lost out of their vehicle. Thanks so very much for all you do, and for the inspiration to get me to stop and clean up a mess someone else left on my road. Keep up the great work and keep your tremendously inspiring videos coming.
Soooo true. That's a great compliment from you and honestly your attitude should be admired and copied by many!
Sad that here in America that we have so many people that just dump trash everywhere. As here in America we have land fills to properly dispose of this stuff. We are not like third world countries where land fills are not easily accessed.
It's amazing how Hunter just does what needs to be done with no complaining. He rocks for Heavy D!
Having a cool boss makes it nice too! Heavy D keeps a cheer full outlook and demeanor even when things go sideways. I learned working in commercial aviation that "nothing is ever easy". Seems like every job takes twice as long as I think it should. My car is never fixed until I have pulled every tool out of the tool box. Lately I have figured out a way to save time fixing my car..... I open every drawer in my tool box then just kick it over spilling out every tool I own on the ground. Since implementing this practice my car and other projects are done in half the time! 🤪
There's a reason he left
@@andrewprice6194yeah, he started his own youtube channel.
By far my new favorite CZcams channel. I’m a disabled veteran that lives in Florida. I’m not as active as I used to be but now I can enjoy watching you guys having some crazy fun times. Would love a day with you guys just having fun. I miss the comradeship that I had in the military. You guys are great. Keep up the great work.
Suggestion: Have someone run the VIN number, locate the owner and dump that truck on their front lawn. That would be a fitting punishment for abandoning the vehicle on someone else's property.
What if the owner died?
Or it was stolen....
Or sold 5 times without being registered......
I admire your “don’t give up” attitude, regardless of any breakdowns that may occur! Your crew of guys are outstanding in their dedication, humour and skillsets! Keep up the excellent work!
Money will do that😏👍🏻
Well said!
Yes but seems to me Hunter does the most work lol
I think it's more "let's make my army of trucker simps do some extremely complex task for my personal entertainment/content/ip while I watch" . . . and yet here I am because manlyman has cool toys.
He has a A++ for keep on mooving to get the job done
I love how all your boys are completely fine with the long walk back to the mainland. You have a good group of friends man
Whoever edits these is my favorite. All the little pop culture clips inserted make the videos so much fun to watch.
Hunter was the MVP on this recovery! Now he has two weeks of work on the HEMIT as a reward
Hunter is 100% the MVP and probably not on just this recovery. HeavyD was probably staying warm drinking coffee and eating caviar crapes while he sent Hunter out to fix everything. 😂
Every video I see him in he's kicking ass. Seems to be both an intelligent and hard worker. What a good friend to have!
@@acjo8975 employee
@@demonik01 wasnt cavier, was tacos. lol if you watched enough heavyd by now lol
In my humble opinion, Hunter always is. He seems to be a great mechanic, and a superfunny guy.
Can’t beat a hemmitt!! I remember several years ago while I was in the military, the ammo guys brought us a Hemmitt full of 4.2 mm mortar rounds down range in FT. Knox.. It was quitting time for them so they left the Hemmitt for us to unload. My Staff Sergeant asked the driver if he left the keys in it in case we needed to move it.. of course he did.. So we unloaded it, got the sides put back up and ate chow.. just as the sun went down, without saying a word to anyone, Staff Sergeant walks out to the Hemmitt fires it up… Then proceeds to do his damndest to cut the best doughnuts possible in such a big machine.. about half way around his first doughnut every single com-phone each of us had in our 113’s just ripped right out the back of or tracks.. as he finally starts getting it into a full spin, all you could see under the Hemmitt was our com-phones wrapping all around the driveshaft!! Freakin hilarious!! Next three hours were spent cutting all the com-wire from around the axles, driveshaft etc… great memories!! Thanks guys.. Stay blessed!!
Then you know this is a GMT and not a HEMTT
That is a M985A1 HEMTT, the MK 48 LVS of the Marines looks similar but is articulated.
I’d honestly love more Heavy D driving lessons. I knew the whole snow thing but it was still a cool little bit that I think you guys could do more often.
Perhaps he could make some training videos. Seriously I want my kids to see this as they are learning to drive. (Goodness knows they don’t always listen to me.)
It's just a wreck ..a shell ..we would pick it up here in Australia with a fork lift truck..
The dedication, commitment and resolve of all at HeavyDSparks is Admirable! Thank you for sharing this upload with us!
Thank goodness for Hunter. His energy is so positive, he is a benefit to the team. You all look like you love doing this. Like little boys all out for an adventure. And not just this time, but every time.
I couldn't agree more. What a team! Hunter is an absolute jewel....amazing energy.
Meth.....
Was thinking the same thing, hes a machine
lol he is the only one with skills
Thank-you for sharing the work of our military vehicles. The main star in the this video is probable older then most of the people helping to get this vehicle into its bed. Also still making it look easy. I remember working on them over thirdly years ago , still a beast today. Thanks for putting a smile on my face (Operation desert shield through storm vet.).
That's actually awesome. Thank you for your service.
Rob, do these trucks not have lockers?
@@TheVenom8343 yes, interlock seems not working
still being made recently
@@TheVenom8343 some do, the trucks came in many different versions. Some where fuel trucks and he doesn't have the version that was a actual recovery vehicle. Not much you couldn't pull or recover from being stuck. Only time I ever saw one of the recovery vehicles stuck was trying to recover a bulldozer stuck in deep mud.
I love your work ethic and how you surround yourself with guys with that same mind set but also know how to have fun while doing it. Those are admirable traits that seem to being going away in todays culture. Would love to check out your shop one day!
Always fun when the biggest rig in the neighborhood gets stuck.
Done the walk of shame myself. Got a 4-wheeler stuck in a mudhole. Walked back to the shop, got the boss. Drove a bigger tractor out there, managed to get that stuck, too. We both did the walk of shame.
I love your videos. Being from a heavy haul trucking background and many years of off-road recovery’s/adventure I would say next time instead of alternating chains I think you would benefit front chaining up the front four steers and leave the rear naked if you only have four total chains. Utilizing the surface area in all one area might have made the difference in making it up without issue. All scenarios are different but that is my two cents. Great job on overcoming the challenges and getting the job done. Another great job!!
There is a heavy rubber insert for those wheel & tires that are an internal bead locker. Pain in the rear to put in but worth the effort if you need to air down. Would suggest getting the axle interlock fixed too, not having lockers really hurt y'all on this one.
when you put that vehicle in Low 1 & engage the 8x8 axle interlock, all the power & torque from that Detroit Diesel gets split between all 8 tires
i know from experience, & that motor has enough torque to snap the driveshafts and the u-joints
Yall are speaking spanish I swear. Its like a whole nother language.
@@troyleenewgent9013 lol, I was an Army mechanic for 13 years lots of experience of them boys.
M985 driver were ya?
@@JohnH20111 damn right you are. These guys are rookies.i was an. M985 driver in early 90s
I love how Dave just goes with the flow no matter the situation. That’s a great quality in a person.
He doesn’t seem to get mad and take it out on those around him.
This is the second time I have watched this video. What I have come to understand is nothing is ever easy for you and your team. But you never give in, that is amazing.
When you’re so addicted to Heavy D’s vids that you instant watch them after 16seconds uploaded😂
Same. Can’t even help it. 😄
Ok
That is so true
No I waited 20 minutes.
You'd think being 8x8 they would be hard to get stuck but they get stuck going up a slight incline on wet grass lol. They're good trucks though.
Why though? Are they just to heavy? Are the tires of these things not grippy enough? It surely cant be a lack of power, can it?
In a scenario like this the tires are too open and unsiped. A hair better than a tractor tire which is worthless in these conditions. A winter tire is usually designed to be fill the sipes with snow to be used as snow on snow traction
No locking diffs.. Tatra813 for the win lol
It’s almost like a rollagon, too much surface area to put enough pressure down on the ground, best to have a pretty good balance between weight and surface area for grip
@@vVBrownieVv Its in part because of the style of suspension they are built with. It just has some limitations on the articulation of each wheel in relation to the others. It is meant to have more than say an 18 wheeler...but anything that big and meant to carry as much weight as a HEMTT...is going to have it's limitations. Its a badass rig either way...they were pushing it to it's limits for sure.
Shout out to whoever does your editing. I've watched almost every video now and I really enjoy the way the editor does things. Thanks for all you guys do. Really enjoyed binge watching all of your stuff.
1 thing you need is the run flat ring that go inside the tire so you can deflate them and air them up with no issue. But where you went wrong with the starting fluid is fold the air hose to pinch it off then spray the either and light it. As soon as you light it let go of the hose. The air leaking out is just blowing the vapor from the either out which is what does the trick. Also warm up the can if you are able so you have more vapor than liquid. Trust me I have been changing tires on equipment for 39 years including military trucks.
The WTF count was higher on this video than any other HeavyD video I've ever seen. Nice job guys. Especially Hunter - getting under there in the snow for the emergency repair....what a team player!
Good man in Hunter. Excellent attitude. Well done Fella! Watching for every next video. Thanks.
Sounds good. Address in UK though. Thank you.
You guys are gonna LOVE your 50's.
Menopause happens to everyone at age 50, it frees up time and energy for hobbies!
I'm from Harrisburg Pennsylvania I watched your seasons on discovery and follow you on CZcams I loved the show and I like all your videos on here I check all the time for new builds and give aways you do your crew is amazing I'm a country boy clear from the mountains of northern Pennsylvania I'm proud you guys support the US military ranks I'm glad I found your crew just exploring my Roku in 2018
i seen a Korean guy take a HEMTT head on while riding a Moped in 1999 while i was stationed over there, made a mess, dont know why people dont respect large rigs and it seems like for each one nature weeds 2 more are born. great job gentlemen
I have a pic of a motorcyclist that took a header into a semi...accident scene pic, just see from his shoulders down, hanging from the grill of the truck...yikes
@@mrmotofy wait what
@@spencergeorgefsj4981 Uh I got a pic like I said
@@mrmotofy that's spooky
Hey guys watching from Pennsylvania here. I love your videos, they have great energy and you guys have lots of drive. Im only 28, hut after a back injury and surgery in 2016 I haven't been able to do many of the things I enjoy due to pain. But your videos give me the drive to get out and do the things I love and keep pushing on even with all of the pain. Keep up the great content. I hope to get the chance to meet you one day or help out on a recovery. :)
Same here from PA , Back injury and 2 operations later. small world
I said no to the surgery. Living with it and know my limitations. I know just where you're coming from.
Keep pushing. Disabled at age 27, find your limits, scale back a little, keep moving.
Unfortunately not from PA but I am right next door to you guys in New Jersey. I'm 44 years old going on 45 and may believe me I know all about back injuries. I hurt my back thoracic spine is all herniated my cervical spine is all bulging my lumbar is completely destroyed my facet joints are squashed I have phenomenal narrowing of the spinal canal also have sciatica down both sides left and right have to go for double knee replacements and also had a heart attack in 2019 which was the Widowmaker 2% survival rate. Keep on pushing you can do it I do it every day I'm in severe pain I have no feeling in my feet my fall over to keep on going man. I say to myself there's always somebody out there worse than I am and that's what gets me going every day and keeps me going every day. If any of you guys need to talk or have nasty thoughts in your head please reach out to me don't ever hesitate I'm here to help anybody that I can I've lost too many people that sucks I don't need to lose any more even though I don't know you we're all family
I’m in Ohio at 31 I can tell you you have to know your limitations, I have 2 disks in my lower back that are rotated from being a mechanic for 10 year professionally 17 years total and sciatica in my right side and Carpel tunnel in both wrist , just keep pushing and tell your self this a body in motion stays in motion, a body at rest stays at rest . There will come a day you can’t /won’t wanna move anymore that’s when you get surgery until then just keep pushing even if stuff takes longer then it use too still accomplish what you wanna do. Also diet and exercise help with the pain and good sleep
I just want to say I really respect you all you guys have got a lot of heart and obviously can catch the eye of the American public I just want to say thank you for all that you do you guys have my love support and respect
Love how you guys try and clean up so many wreaks that dirt up our beautiful earth and have a blast doing lol . You guys rock. I love to see what you guys will get up to next
I love it when things go sideways and you have to find a way around it to get the job done. You can do anything with the right attitude, tools, equipment and a ton of grit. You and your team have all of the above. Great recovery!👍
@Omar Zahir I have not responded to the message or dialled the number via What’s App. Why would Heavy D not ask us to respond through CZcams since this is where the video was posted. I had this happen back in early January as well on another video. I checked the area code attached to the What’s App numbers and they both showed as originating in Texas. Last time I checked Heavy D lives in Utah not Texas.
My brother Tim retired not too long ago as a master tow operator and we feel as you do that those who just abandon their junk and cars are despicable.
I was a 91B in the army and I’ve worked on all the military vehicles you own. Its funny watching them brake on you all the time because that’s what they do.
I did recovery in the army too. Between recovery any fixing all the redlined vehicles, we never had a slow day.
Having a loyal crew with a sense of humor makes the job so much easier. I enjoy the well edited videos. I have a suggestion as far as playing in the snow. Since you seem to have an unlimited budget for machinery, get a used logging skidder or 2 with a good set of tire chains. Skidders have miles of cable on powerful winches and are designed specifically for pulling huge loads over rough terrain in deep snow and mud. If it was to have an old Detroit 2 cycle so much the better. There would be great sound effects.
Your slippery ice rink was hilarious just goes to show you can rescue anything Heavy D you and your crew are amazing!! Love to see your videos keep them coming!!!!
That's such a badass machine, a little surprised at its lack of ability in the snow, but it got the job done. I live up in WA, and there's always abandoned vehicles left in the hills and forests. Would love to be doing recoveries!
Lockup is broken on it I think. Those things are normally like Billy goats
then you might want to consider an M984 HEMTT Wrecker
You clapped like the boys crew when they perform a dance in our country...The last time i watched the Boys crew was when I was teacher at St Joseph college on the outer island of Abaiang...While watching your video you reminded me of their dance..Thank you
Give your video editor a raise. He does a great job making the videos funny and even more entertaining. Everyone keep up the great work
I admire you’re willingness to spend your time and money cleaning up after thoughtless humans! Thank you.
Yes but taking it to a landfill? Why not scrap it out and recycle the metal?
Its crazy to me how the EPA came after you even though ya'll seem to do more to keep the state clean than the EPA itself. Utah is my all time favorite state I've driven through in my trucking career and Im happy that you take this kind of stuff so seriously.
You explained it right there, they are doing a better job of keeping the state clean than the EPA. the EPA can’t have heavyD showing them up and making them seem like the useless money sucking morons that they are
I cant believe how a simple recovery, turns into this kind of entertainment, Im hooked lol. Thanks for the vids.
Heavy D, you oughta seriously consider doing something like taking another hemmt and maybe thinking along the lines of what I would call a half track. Maybe I'm just thinking outside the box..... Hope you tried the sled,/ ski to go under tracked vehicles, ours were homemade, and forgot to mention when you do make em, make SURE you have an angle straight down at least 2" to 4" on the bottom and outside edges to keep vehicle from just sliding all around. Failed to let you know that, keeps it going the way it's pulled.
Your video production is getting better and better every time! Hilarious clips and ffw timing makes a 45 mn video seem like 20! Keep it up guys
This is a video I can definitely appreciate it reminds of all the times I have to tell people who don’t regularly deal with ice you can have 8wd ice is still ice & has to be treated accordingly….for some reason people think “I have 4wd no problem” 😆 chains really help to bite in so you can go or more importantly stop & not have your rig just slide away from the road/trail great job as always!
4 wheel drive really just means 4 wheel slip on ice in most cases.
We have that problem over here in Idaho heavy D wish I had the equipment like u have bc I would be doing the same thing but I love seeing ur videos not alot of people have hearts like u guys have to do clean ups or rescues that u do thanks for all ur videos brother
Another awesome video !! When I was in the Illinois Nationals Guard we drove the M35 6×6 Military Truck we were able to control the air pressure from the cab , very convenient for air pressure changes !! I LOVE YOUR CHANNELL
I appreciate all the hard work you and your crew do!!! I hope everyone has a great day!!!
Definitely need to see a hmtt on tracks. That would be badass dude!
wouldn't that be hard to do since all wheels turn?
@@lucassvedlund3851 you would probably have to do independent tracks for the front cause of the steering but I think they could do one track for both axles in the back
wouldn’t work, because of the double front axles
the only one close would be an Mk42 USMC HEMTT
Wow! Thank you for a great video. What a beast of a vehicle you have. The terrain you guys have to deal with is humbling. I learned a lot!
You all make a great team!!
Everyone has an important part in the video!! Really good team!!
My respect !!
I love how you guys have figured out a way to get your work done and film and make it entertaining keep up the good work
Having a crappie day at work so I stopped to watch your video always makes me smile
never saw a bunch of dudes so happy and getting along in my life great crew and good show😛
Just just wanted to say thank you to you and your amazing team for taking us with you on everything you do, I became a follower when you guys helped Brent out for the first time and have really enjoyed all your videos!. i wish all you guys and your families a happy holiday and again thank you!
That was a expensive recovery but well worth it love the teamwork it makes the dream work.
Best recovery channel on the planet... great job guys
Don't let Matt see this comment
I think MATTS OFFROAD IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD
@@CORNDODGER it's good but to me these guys have always been my favorite and heavy d has way cooler toys.. not saying Matt's ain't good cause it is.. diesel brothers are on another level tho
I knew I recognized that Raptor! Last Saturday on the backside of the B area we passed a big black Ford raptor with a body kit and a light bar. As we squeezed by each other on the trail I remarked how the driver was dressed and looked identical to HeavyDSparks, I was watching a video and saw that same black Raptor ! I'm confident we had passed by him on a trail!
I really wish y’all would have been around in 1979 when my family got stuck in Utah on a Sunday with a broken Airstream trailer. It took 3 days before we could find someone to help us and by then my dad had taken a hatchet to the tire lug nuts that had been welded on. I was 7 at the time and remember how mad dad was that no one would stop to help out our young family. My sister was 5.
Well Heavy D looks like you're going to have to come back up there in the summertime and fix that road that you guys tore all up.
I got to say great content thanks for the share brother
😂😂😂
Well I have finally caught up with most of the recovery videos and I have one suggestion that has worked for me. You usually carry a welder, now I know they are cumbersome but sheets of 4by8 1/16 or possibly 1/18 steel can be chained or welded under what you are pulling and will help slide and float heavy objects. You guys are absolutely a blast to watch and I have done alot of similar recoveries. So it may help sometime. Can't wait for more!
I was thinking the same.
Build some skid plates. Curve them up at the end so as they don't dig in the ground happy days.
It does seem sometimes they're trying a dead pull without completely clearing a smooth path to Winch out..
I think this may be why they snap so many cables....
Still all a learning curve good entertainment...
ski is a four letter word
I have never seen an M977 break a U-joint before, that would be a pain in the shop fixing that let alone in the snow YUCK! The truck does have 8 wheel diff locks on it its located on you drive selector switch its the last setting. Those 8V92 sure do sing a sweet tune guys. I love these trucks in 3 color NATO Woodland mine is desert tan and I just havent had a year to devote to painting it the correct color! Thanks for posting!
With this model truck, I believe in placing the transfer case in low engages eight-wheel drive. Then the axle interlock on the dash uses all eight tires to drive. A little late to be helpful this time, but it is a common theme with the 8x8 trucks and your HET.
Love the videos, teamwork and enthusiasm! I always get a good laugh and learn something. To get out of some of those slick spots in the future might I suggest... Learn how to do a Detroit slingshot brother (not with chains, just air down). As you know, those trucks can store a ton of torque in their drive line. It's a power brake without spinning out. Half throttle while holding the left foot on the brake (yeah it's a tight fit with the column lol). You will feel the truck torque load. Hammer down and when the throttle pedal hits the floor let off the brake. Stay in the throttle until you are on top. I'm asking you brother... please don't use the crane for winching. Your luck will run out and the boom and/or cylinders are bent or torqued and you can't stow the crane. I'm not telling you what to do with your own toy but I've seen this happen many times over and it's not a fun or cheap fix. Any way, thanks again for taking us along with you on all the adventures. Stay safe.
Still amazed at the turn around in the hemtt…Great thing you all do with the clean up and recovery’s!
The way you guys persevere in the face of what seems insurmountable odds is amazing and inspiring!
That's why we always used big solid block for our outriggers to brace off of and to spread out its load so it doesn't poke holes in the ground/blacktop or pavement.
Awesome how you guys are putting all your equiptment and man power together to help everyone out and clean everything up. You said it well at the end, help people, clean the environment and make cool content. Im on board for it all and i do a little of that myself when needed like everyone should. If everyone gets behind it, it could be endless. Good work boys
I always enjoy these videos they are so entertaining Good job guys
The comedy screen effects and music take your videos to the next level of entertainment. Cuz this could easily be boring without some comic relief sparkled in. Good job
Your crew does such good for people in need. You're at one end of the spectrum. The clowns who dumped the hulk on your property are somewhere on the other end. I hope they grow up.
when you end up spinning out on an icy hill like that put it in reverse and try not to lock up the brakes and just try and give enough throttle to keep traction yet not go any faster than you have to. It seems wrong to do but trust me ... it helps you keep your ability to steer and helps keep from shinning up your tire tracks any more than you have to in a hill. in my 16yrs of hauling oversized off-road heavy haul, I've got a few more close calls than I care to remember going downhill backward with over 200k lbs behind me. The first winter I was lucky to have a few seasoned drivers teach me that and it has saved me many times.
As for spinning, you are right but the biggest reason you don't want to spin with chains and let it hop is it is torture on your drive train. each hop of the tire basically slaps the gears inside your axles back and forth on each other and makes it easy to strip and snap gears. Imagine everything turning one-way and then in a blink of an eye, every gear forced the opposite way but many times back and forth at once. it makes it very easy to find out how expensive rear end and transmission parts cost.
You guys should make a video with Demo Ranch and/or Matt’s Off-road Recovery
Yes
I knew someone would have already recommended Matt’s Off Road Recovery. I noticed one of Heavy Ds guys was at Robby Layton’s shop so maybe we’re on to something.
In 12 years with the army driving and turning wrenches I saw maybe only one time we busted a yoke on a hemtt like that. I was actually surprised ya didn’t bust that winch. We were never allowed to use them cause they put out a memo that the winch was junk, it’s mounted on one side of the frame, outside the frame rails, and was really not rated for what they needed to be. I think like 20k and I think empty a hemtt weighed in at like 40k. Nice recovery and field fixing. 👍🏼
Hey guys want to say I really love and respect your videos you guys remind me of me and my buddies from back in California I love to watch thanks a lot
This is one hell of a funny and interesting video. Whoever does the clips in between is a genius and makes the videos way more interesting.
7 minutes after release and nearly 4K viewings.
Well done all of you great content as usual.
8.4K after only 15 minutes.
Some day soon I may pack up and move out that way man. If I do would love to meet you in the process, would also love working for a guy like you as well. I was trained on and operated my own HEMTT while in the Army for several years and every video you do with it makes me smile and miss it even more. Unfortunately most of my family has passed away now, my son's older and my sister married and has her own life and family. So it's kinda just me as recently lost my best friend, my Boxer... I'm utterly lost in life and don't feel I've found my purpose or am living up to my potential.
What you recovery, CZcams guys do for the environment and stranded people deserves so much more credit then you get. Especial when you do it for those reasons. I love the "Can Do" and never even thinking about giving up. This is what is so captivating with your videos. The only problem I have with you all, is Pennsylvania is a long way away, or this old Vet, (former Medic/Engineer) would give you all a hand. We had M88 ARVs!
Stuck or not, it’s always a good time when you get the HEMTT out! Thanks for blessing us with another recover upload!
Love watching what ya'll do! Entertaining and educational.
Love watching you clean things up so much I wanted to give you a challenge… it’s an extraction actually. I have a 28 year old daughter, single mom with a6 year old boy. She has a slug of a boyfriend living with her. He is abusive, doesn’t have a job and sucks the life out of her. She works full time and pays for everything. Do you think you could clean this up and extract him and ship him back to Iowa? Ya, I didn’t think so but you don’t get anywhere by not asking😁 keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep watching.
so happy you knew what to do and you didn't panick. Love watching all your shows. Never a dull moment by far.
I just adore the sense of humour in this episode. More of those edits pls!
I should be doing school but Id rather watch this
in situations like this one, back in the soviet era (maybe till this day) ZIL army truck drivers were taught to deflate the tires by quite a bit to get much more tire surface biting into the ground. plan B was the log technique, no winch needed.
I loved what you did with the little cheep electric car. Except for the fact that I live in Arizona and I think that it would be better with solar panels.
Skidding backwards is a fun snowy roads are scary fun lol
Interesting Adventure, and recovery. I love that you guys stay calm and just work through every problem there is. That can do attitude really pays off.
Great content thanks for sharing
My self and my buddy Jim would love to have your equipment when we were younger. We were in the housing part of construction painting was our main occupation but you learn how to recover equipment from mud. Even we didn't have the equipment we offered our knowledge after years of being in the traide
I drove these for 2 years in the Army and don't see how you got this stuck. Those things are beasts! I pulled tanks out with it!
I'm really enjoying the channel. I never thought the recovery of vehicles would be interesting, but it is. Were the bones you found at the bottom of the mine belong to the Powell lady who was missing and murdered? Great job. You guys never give up your amazing!
Excited for the video! NOT excited to see the HEMTT broke 😟
Thanks for cleaning up other people’s mess 🤨
I was surprised that you didn't use a block to winch th3 jeep away from the bushes, the angle looks different on Cameras so it's hard to call from the warm seat in my house in the UK. Always great to watch
Heavy D.. Love watching you guys play with the big boys toys and do recoveries. You guys are cool. You don't trash the environment either. You clean up junk cars.
That man who edits the videos🙌pure gold with constant content,action,lots of memes and vibes. Liking this channel a lot and long time Fan from Estonia!
I was a swamper, moved oil rigs in northern Canada ,in a tandem tandem sugar cane truck ,your trip was in the snow and easier then being sunk in the swamp
This series is simply the best culmination or resilience, perseverance, good people with amazing skills, knowledge and equipment doing something that not only inspires but ultimately focuses on trying to assist other people. Regardless of the evidence outcomes, Heavy D and the team deserve respect for these amazing efforts. Well done!!!!! 👍
