Recovering my STUCK 5 ton army truck from peanut butter mud...and then disaster strikes!

- Just another average day in my life. We headed out to recover a stuck 5 ton with another 5 ton wrecker recovery truck. The recovery went suspiciously easy until BOOM...the wrecker sinks! This is real, raw, and unscripted content documenting what actually happens to us on a regular basis.

When the yankum rope was mentioned, matts off road recovery was the first thing I thought of.
After 1000's of recoveries I can say with confidence that those kinetic snatch ropes/straps are by far the most effective way to recover in a situation like that. As long as the recovery vehicle can build up some speed and the stuck vehicle isn't on the verge of falling off a cliff or something, those snatch ropes almost always work the best.
They even work great with light recovery vehicles pulling out heavy ones. I've used my 1-ton 7,500lb Chevy square body to pull out a 75,000 lb loaded 18-wheeler and the whole tractor was down to its axles in mud. To make matters worse my truck was on wet, sheer ice and I didn't have my chains on. To get the 18 wheeler out I backed right up to it and accelerated all the way at the verge of spinning (with axles& center locked, Detroit's front&rear). The guy driving the 18 wheeler said it felt like that was the fastest acceleration that 18 wheeler had ever experienced when that 80,000 lb rated bungy tightened up and finally got him out. The scary part for me was I would get up to about 40 mph, smoothly go from that to zero over about 4 feet (as there bungee tightened) and then be sprung backwards at what felt like 40 mph back towards the 18 wheeler. The first few pulls didn't get him all the way out and I feared I was going to spring back all the way into him. Pull #3 got him all the way out of the mud and back up on the road.
The recovery shown here you could have left the Subaru on the bed and pulled the 5-ton out using a 1-ton pickup with a good kinetic recovery strap.
I find as long as the recovery vehicle can get up enough speed that you can pull out something that weighs about 10x the recovery vehicle using an appropriately sized kinetic strap.
Using a winch on the other hand you need to tie the recovery vehicle to a tree or something for anything even close to the same weight.
All my years of off-road recovery, I have learned you never say your done till the trucks are parked, and the drinks are poured. Soil/terrain is dynamic, all ways changing.
Today, April 27, 2021. I found this channel, and I am excited to anounce it is my new favorite channel. I am going to like and comment on every post from today, Unitl 10 Million. Mark My Words!
Right there with ya!
I found this story quite by accident but....I do a LOT of photography out on the island and I have seen these vehicles in the quagmire next to the causeway several times and even stopped to take a few images, all the time wondering what the real story was. Now I have some insight into it.
I was so intrigued by it, I couldn't stop watching it until the end! Thanks for sharing it.
You are a blessed man to be able to be so generous. Judge a man by what you see not what you hear. I'd say your character is never in question.
We use Yakum ropes at home. 2-1/2" rope pulls out our loaded 80' air drill with 1200 bushels on board. Add the weight of a quad track 600 and you have close to 180,000lbs of dead weight. That rope has pulled it out more than a dozen times in the last 3 years of use
Another awesome recovery. Thank you for all the showing of the wet mud causing the sinking of truck. I have always been fascinated with mechanics and how engines work. I helped my kids dad rebuild a 1982 Mercury Marquis engine in the late 80's. He told everyone that if I had his strength, I'd have been a better mechanic than he was because I understood everything back then. Lol. I may be old but still love all this.
Yet another serious advert for Yankum. Quality ropes. Worth EVERY DAMN DOLLAR!!!
As a heavy tow truck operator I wish I could have been out there with you guys during the recovery
Should have called Matt’s Off-road Recovery! Lol.
I don’t think the Cherokee would have been enough for this one 😂
@@Drewster-pi9cu “well get em out” lol!
Yeah, Matt’s off-road been doing it for years. Made me buy an XJ and a kinetic rope. Lol.
Lol he literally posted right above you! 😂
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
You guys seriously get me through some serious depression. You're freaking inspiring and get me out of the house and doing something! Thanks for being badass mofos 🤙
Heck ya dude, keep at it man
agree 100%... Keeps me sane bro
Hans slipping on the step was funniest part! 😂😂😂😂
Yup
lol ya 7:50
So glad you guys are vlouging ! I've just been rewatching diesel powers season . So perfect! I don't have to wait so long for new content!
I sure ought to get me a wrecker in addition to my 5 ton. Sure are great trucks! Great Recovery
Casey your as bad as rest of us who subscribe to your channel cant help but watch a good recovery but for you it's a training video for us it's just a addiction
@@aaronmcconnell7358 ya never stop learning that is for sure.
This was really impressive watching these vehicles doing what they do best! Pure muscle 👌
I love the fact that your being prepared and improvising, adapting, and over coming any situation... that’s what the Boy Scout program taught me
Hunter, thank you for helping make a Great video. I know this video is 7 months old, so I know you get to stay around to entertain us in the future. 🤟
You guys rock, even though there is stupid shit going on, we need more people like you guys. Be safe
Your sense of environmental responsibility is admirable!
(You found FRESH water wells in the middle of Salt Lake??!! WOW!)
I'm a big fan of you brothers. I identify a lot with these "adventures" which in turn makes everyone involved well.
I've spent two years inside the Amazon jungle panning for gold. We didn't get rich but the life experience was very rewarding. You make us stronger, giving more value to the things in life. That's it brothers brothers!!!
FAN FOREVER!!!!
💪💪💪💪💪💪
I like the way you are not quick to blame people or point fingers because something goes wrong. I was hoping that grave robber would show up sitting in one of your vehicles to get a ride off the island.
Dave, make your own snatch ropes by weaving military surplus conetic nylon drop straps together. Awesome strong and effective as hell.
The content is off the chain after a long day of work I can sit here and enjoy watching y’all
The key to kinetic recovery ropes (and recovery straps) is to size it properly. Bigger is NOT better. The proper size will stretch properly and reduce strain on the vehicles.
Watching this in 6/22... the 'yank 'um rope was awesome getting the poor guy's boat out of the muck using that and your boat full throttle. Can't remember how many "tugs" it took but you all never gave up. Love what you guys do... always informative and entertaining.
"Why did the Subaru break were you driving responsibly?" Hunter just shakes his head no like a little kid....
That’s an impressive rope and you guys are brave to even try it. Great job
I love Utah. I Wish i can go back and raise my son there. Its such a beautiful place. Nice people. Money isn't right or I would be there right now. I pray that I'll be back there soon.
The Yankum rope is a miracle worker for stuck vehicles. 🙏❤️😎🤙
Watch Matt's ofroad recovery thats all the ropes he uses
You guys are bad ass nothing but making people smile what stand up guys
I felt like I was back in rigging class listening to you talk about pulley powers.
I have never liked tow ropes, But that one there that your all used Impressed the hell out Me!
Wow... sure do love the special feeling of finding out my husband went on a dangerous helicopter rescue mission when his words to me were, “I’m just working with Sparks.” SMH. Time for me to fill out the kids BYU college applications as his punishment. ❤️😂❤️🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️❤️
You’re an evil wife. LOL 😂. Make him do them twice.
Savage! Ha!!
Wow!! Didn’t think the Yankum snatch ropes would work so well on vehicles that big. A true testament to how good they really are.
I see Matt's Offroad recovery has seen this video. It's his channel that showed the kinetic rope.
Love that your trying to preserve the land and give back to the state. Great work
Can’t wait to see what y’all got going on in the shop!!
I commend your attitude about the preservation of that island. There is not as much "wild" land as there used to be anymore....
Heavy D is starting to look shredded
I had heard that story about Baptiste before, but never heard the actual story. Thanks. And the Yankum rope is amazing!
So anyone ignoring that hilarious quote from the attorney "it's not Murphy's law, it's Spark's law" lol
Man you so right about that red rope very impressive I used to work in the oil field we used to run 10,000 acres and sometimes 25 2 + acres for labor charges delete pipe in the Gulf of Mexico when you when you ain't got nothing to hook up a winch to a good saying anchor buried in the ground gives you something to dip when it's off of that won't come up and hit the vehicle saying Acres always have to be trip from the backside of the anchor to flip it up out of the sand after it digs in can pull a whole lot of weight off of it imagine a lie barzilay in 36 inch pipe pulling yourself along the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico the same concept for your big recovery vehicle would be to add an anchor to it when you ain't got none too wet on but that type of vehicle you going to have to build a big saying acre or find one big enough for the job appreciate the great content keep up the good work and by the way that red rope how big around is it and could it be braided together with other big red ropes would make it really really strong LOL
Yankum ropes are the strongest type of rope out there !!!
"They just work "
I Learned about Yankum ropes from : (UA-cam channel) Matt's offroad recovery!
Utah located business
This video from diesel Dave using the Yakuum ropes is Impressive!
They are the best the only downfall is the more ropes you have together the less effective they are
That's awesome bro saving land and keeping it free from buildings. Keep pushing for big. 👏👏
Yankum ropes are awesome Matt's offroad uses them.
My grandpa had three of them! One -22 degree day we couldn't get anything going, too cold! He jumps in one of his 6x6's warms it up and proceeds to try and drive it away! After discovering he was frozen to the ground, he rams it in first, then R, and back ,and forth till it pops loose! took fist size chunks out of the tires! all of them! Good ol military tires are still on it!
Should’ve yanked the Subaru with the Side-By-Side using the Kinetic rope!!
I always looked forward to more island content on your Instagram stories, so happy you put it on UA-cam!
How did he get the Subaru on the truck by himself the first time without the crane?
This is like another ridiculous history channel program
Tilt bed on the 5 ton and they have a winch in the bed just dragged it up like a rollback wrecker
Was wondering about that myself?
i love that their attourney is just ready to come with and go recover a vehicle, and its not like hes just standing around making sure everythings safe hes actually working
UA-cam in it’s infinite wisdom ran a YANKUM ROPE commercial with MATT at MATTS TOWING AND RECOVERY.
Yankum rokes are excellent, learnt that from matt's offroad recovery.
I feel like you need Matt's off road recovery in this episode 😄
I'm glade y'all made it home that night
Damn your life is insane! Loving these vids! Keep it up!
HeavyD watching for your struggling as you prep for recovery, I keep thinking about how wonderful it would be to have the mixer frame set up as " recovery tool box"!!!
I wasn’t ready for the law father. 😂
Drove the 5 ton wrecker for a few years in the Marine Corps. Always loved the 23 1/2 ton lvs also. Recovered a d-6 track dozer in S Korea for the seabees while I was there. Good times.
I'm just glad these dudes decided they don't need massive sleeve tattoos to be men.
Sounds like someone was bullied by someone with a tattoo sleeve... why you worried about another man? sus as fk
@@jmanownz985 Nope, JC, just we were born that way; why screw it up? besides, cant be good sticking ink under your skin.
It's maybe worse than sucking smoke into your lungs; most of it at least, exhales.
Tattoos and smoke I'm in
Sounds like someone's afraid to live their own life and just wants to be another sheep
Nice recovery, and good of you for fixing the island up and selling it back
This is the most talking I’ve heard in a video ever. But o well
I was thinking the same, this could of been an awesome 15 minute video
@@dobledekersoulwrekr I think he put out a very lot of information in one long video instead of 2 or 3 small videos
Happy to see Matt off road recovery linking up with every D sparks
Me being a heavy equipment field mechanic I love watching you guys pull stuff out of the mountains in the woods wishing I could do that for fun
That's a Amazing place! The Rope is Incredible!! 👏 Great Job! That saved alot of time ,not having to pull the main line back and forth to 2 part and 3 part with snatch blocks ! Great Job cleaning this Island and keeping it Environmentally friendly !!!
Thanks for the ridealong ! Lol ! The ghost of John Baptist ..... time to haul butt out of there!!!!
Beautiful sun set. Y'all did a great job.
Well done.... My wife was learning to ride a dirt bike and just continued driving out into the quick sand.. we were in delle UT in the flats. And I had a hellllll of a time trying to push and pull her out of that crap.
We’ve used those big ropes on the farm to pull loaded silage truck out of the sand and mud. All of our silage trucks are Semi’s. Loaded weight gets close to 100,000 lbs..
I love how you guys are not animals or cowboy types when it comes to recovering and not trashing the neighborhood, so to speak.
You Rock guys !
I adore your dedication to helping the earth and making large steps, yet leave a small footprint.
Keep up the great work !
Hunter is rocking the best mullet ever !!
Were you aware the old Desert Magazine ran several articles about Fremont Island in the late 1930's? A family of Anglo settlers lived on the Island in the late 1800's. The Desert articles were about that family. If you want the articles, let me know and I will dig them out and send them to you. I admire your efforts to preserve the Island. Shows the kind of quality person you are.
I can't believe how amazingly that rope worked. Just love watching all of your guys vids, I have spent most of the day watching them all a couple times
Easy peasy. When I saw the kinetic rope being used on one of my fav channels. I bought one to keep in my truck.
One of my first videos ever watched, so cool to see the whole process that goes into a recovery like this
Man! Great job getting the 5 ton out! Y'all are beasts!
How can you not like this dude.
Matt's off road recovery in Hurricane Utah uses the yankum ropes all the time. They work awsome. Saving my money for one!
Yankum Ropes for the win. Truly amazing what these kinetic ropes can do.
Got alot of respect for heavy d and his brother both there a couple of some hard workers and they still some how figure out a way to turn work into play time in other words they take all the negative parts of the world and they use it to there advantage fr mad props fr lol
Just seen your Instagram post. Love what you do and what you stand for man not many people like you in the world.
Glad you got out and happy you are donating it to the State. Utah is usually real good about taking care of the land.
Ron Pratt with Midwest Truck Towing & Recovery in Missouri has a couple of those ropes and he loves them.
Yankum rope for the win! I see that rope being used all the time on Matt's Off Road Recovery.
You guys are SO awesome, you are doing so cool and incredible stuff... You guys is favorite show to watch.
I love the way that rope worked. I don't have a yeast for anything that big but it was cool.
Very impressive rope! The first truck straight shot was pretty impressive then the second truck on an angle i thought for sure going to snap or atleast get both trucks stuck.. but wow unbelievable
I used a 1952 1/2 ton Chevy pickup on an icy road in Alaska with a 50 ft 3/4" nylon rope to pull a 2-1/2 ton flatbed loaded with 6 cords of green birch logs. The flatbed had the pass side deep in a 4 ft ditchfull of wind blown snow. Went to the end of the rope at 15 mph. The flatbed just jumped out of the ditch due to the kinetic energy stored only tow rope I will ever use
Cool I just helped a buddy rebuild his 5ton same military truck sitting on Decatur in Vegas at the gun store, off-road recovery is the funnest thing to do in the whole world, especially in a D12 dozer at a mine sight...
That's really some awesome rope!!! I'm very impressed!
It feels like I'm there. Much thanks, we need this.
CANT GET ENOUGH OF YOUR CONTENT!
Always learning new things from the best.
What an awesome and fun life. I admire you.
These type of videos that aren’t planned are the best!!
I am thoroughly impressed with how well this recovery went. I just recently started getting into off-roading. After seeing this video, I think I need to add that rope to my gear. I'm curious to see what it takes to snap that rope.
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming
I like that you are working to donate the island back to the State
The strongest Rope I know if is Dyneema sk75 excellent static rope....I use it at work and have never had or heard of a failure in use ..great work .👍
