    Look, we all know that you (Heavy D) and Diesel Dave have money. That’s a given. However, what you do with it is just plain remarkable. Not only that, it’s your time. You, Diesel Dave and the crew out there, sometimes doing back breaking work to help common folk is just plain awesome. Thank You.

      A horrible horrible tragedy !!! I use a walker. If I didn't have that I wouldn't be able to walk. What those people went through. So so sad My heart's broken too! That's when we need to take everyday that we have and appreciated and cherish it because you never never know what's around the corner. I'm an older woman so let me tell you I've seen a lot and lived through even more. So please cherish what you have. I just loved what you wrote and me had to put in my two words. God bless you honey and hope you have the most wonderful life! Many hellos from Alaska 👍🌹

    Man, this is just worst case scenario after worst case scenario. My heart feels for them for sure. I can’t even imagine having to drive the rv home after going thru such a traumatic experience, that’s going to be tough for her. I was a manager at an rv park for a few years and one weekend we had an elderly man pass away in his rv. He was on vacation with his wife and an rv group. He passed in his sleep next to his wife. She woke up and found him. Their friends comforted her for hours but as it was a Sunday they all had to get on the road and return home as well bc it was just a weekend trip. I also had my sons birthday party that afternoon at the park bc we lived on the property. But I refused to set up while she was there. Since he was deceased he wasn’t taken out in an ambulance, the poor woman had to wait hours for the coroner to come. She also didn’t know how to drive the rv. Luckily her kids lived within driving distance and drove to pick her up so she wasn’t stranded, but she asked me if I could park her rv in our storage facility until she could make alternate plans. I gave her the rest of the summer storage for free and told her no rush. My heart broke for her. She kept saying “he was going to teach me on the ride home. He wanted me to learn to drive it. It’s like he knew he was leaving me.”

How many times have you stopped and gave lunch to someone hungry ? Regardless of how you see it they have a job to do and that job requires payment . Their hearts are still in the right place.

      Yeah I own a GPS tracker made by invoxia. It uses cellular and GPS... Its on my Suzuki DR400 dirt bike and is about the size of a pack of gum, battery will last 3 months with a ping rate of every10 min while riding an hour a day, or 6 months if you have it only ping once per 24 hours. If I were to get in trouble. There is a button on it you can press to send sos pings with my location to anyone you want. You need to set it up before you get lost though. There is no way to do that once you are out of cell service and only have GPS signal. The thing is $120 with 2 years of cell/gps service. Garmin sells two way text GPS units that are cool but expensive.

I do feel the company manufacturing and setting up the mapping programs will not make any changes unless there is a legal precedence set by prosecuting and holding them accountable for such a case as this, therefore hopefully avoiding any potential loss of life, due to faults in this product going forward. More human brains and less robotic technology should be involved in the manufacturing and mapping programs used in a GPS. Period.

    It’s wonderful to see that you had no problem going and doing this for free where other people wouldn’t go because they weren’t gonna get paid. That’s why you and your team are so blessed is because you do things for others without asking for anything in return

    It’s so important to be prepared for situations like this when going on these kinds of trip. Rip. It’s so sad seeing the rv. What a great man and his crew for helping. Ron must have been such a strong man to go thru all this. I truly hope someone flew out to drive back with that poor lady. I couldn’t imagine how sad it would have been for her to drive back alone.

    Heartbreaking!!! I had already seen this story on another UA-cam channel and it was so very sad. She tried getting him water with the limited mobility she had and sadly they both knew he was dying. I can’t imagine that feeling. My prayers are with the family and god bless you guys for helping!!! 🤗

    Heavy D and the crew, you guys are something else. Thank you for doing all you do. I'm a videographer and if you need help in the Steamboat Springs area, please feel free to reach out. I have that same motivation and care to help others as much as I can. Cheers to you guys and I'm sorry for the Family's loss. RIP Ron...

I'm disabled and can't walk far and that would be my worst nightmare getting stuck like that. Our thoughts and prayers for the wife. Seeing a team work so well together and very respectful as well, God bless you.

      Totally agree, I’ve put a recovery kit and military surplus hike pack with several days good and water, first aid , every survival tool , dry strikers blankets , pancho etc in all my SUVs and after seeing another story like this my dad is very much a just pick up and take off in his new Subaru and will have no real destination or plan but loves to explore going alone against us kids better judgment. He’s an army Vey with a prosthetic leg and failing lungs and it territifes me he does this stuff becasue he wouldn’t make it a half mile from a car but after loosing my mom to brain cancer a year Ago, he just explores by vehicle now as my mom used to love thst and it’s what he’ll continue to do so I put a recovery pack and a Patrol sized infantry pack with everything he could potentially use , put it in the back of his car and told him so not take them out so they’re always there if u need them. Hope he never does but yeah, it’s so tough. Like Heavy D said. They ended up on this one track first road thst is drivable and doable for 90 minutes but Theresa no where to turn around so they kept going and going further hoping for a turn around until finally that hairpin . Tragic they took a wrong turn in the Kia or they’d of made it out. I live in. Utah too and spend alot of time off-road and in Moab on the jeep trails and I’ve noticed a LOT of the elderly RV tourists that spend time down there tow a stock Jeep Wrangler instead of little SUVs or cars ajd the tow weight is the same but they have one of the most capable stock off-road vehicles ever made if they get into a bind but then some like these people looks like they had no intention of heading up this road .
