My God Ron! I can't think of anyone but you to do this recovery. Just love to watch the father-son tandem at work. Stay safe dear Ron.
Watched this 4 part series and what I like most is seeing father and son working together. I love working on projects with my son. He is in the process of building a house for his family on my property so we can all be together on the same acreage. And the grandkids are also building here as well. Family should stay close. May God bless you and all your family.
Fantastic. Just fantastic. I’m proud that there’s still people in the world not afraid of a little work to accomplish a goal.
That little Polaris ranger was definitely a little engine that could. At first I was thinking you were gonna have to winch the van up that hill...but that little thing got it up with a few grunts and a good persistent driver lol
Was about to comment the exact same thing, but you said it. Tough as nails that little one. :D
Happy Happy Joy Joy :3
Polaris power lol
Another 5 star job by ron and his dad. What a team 👍love your work keep safe .
Fantastic work Ron, using the most expensive piece of equipment you own, the BRAIN 🧠. Keep safe my friend and peace and love to you’re family
Talon...the "banjo" twang from him at the start...LOL! Ron, thanks for keeping it real man.
Kenneth James Was that from the movie Deliverance?
Yup, deliverance...
Yep
Kenneth James lol yeah
Sir Ron !!!! Another gooood recovery & no damage other than scratches from the trees !!!! Like you say ""We aim to Please "" Thanks for sharing !!! And hope Dad & you have another adventure to share in the near future !!!!HA HA !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!!
Considering the severity and time spent on this job and the distance you had to travel to get to and from the job and customer, I hope you were paid well. Also, we can only hope that the police catch the individuals who put the van in the woods in the first place. Well done. Be safe and go with God.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE FINISH. PROUD OF YOU AND STAFF. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
connor the sheriff found the van so maybe they arrested the people then called uhaul to get the van.
Hey let's hope they find where the marijuana farm is at.
I wonder if the five'oh even noticed that it was a Meth Lab....you think if they had, they would've 'tagged and bagged' the evidence, that Ron found. Hmmm...
@@G13MomCat I highly doubt it was a meth lab. Most likely it was just an old camp site.
All I can is WOW. I did alot of recovery work in the army, just wish I had your knowledge when I was in the army. Some of our recovery jobs were nasty, but nothing like this one. Love the videos God Bless and keep them coming. RET Sgt Dennis Wood
When U-Haul gets the bill I hope there are lots of zero's on the right side of the total...You have certainly earned it.
Especially since they essentially forced them to use what they had with the possibility of wrecking the winch on that Ranger.
Maybe U-Haul should use Midwest Towing in one of their commercials? LOL
Lots of zeroes?
That van is worth no more than $10,000, probably less because it's a rental and has been abused.
At best the job is worth $750.
But yes, i totally agree otherwise. But one has to be realistic here. "lots of zero's" would imply at least 3 zero's and implying more than that.
With 4 zeros, they could just as well replace the van.
Caddie, Uhaul is responsible for getting it off trail no matter the cost.
@@RealCadde Easely a $5k job. Have to take it away from the forest anyway.
You & dad earned every last penny on that recovery brother. Wow, that was a tough one! Good job.
Great job, Ron and Dad.
One thing about it your Dad doesn't give up easily. The way he put your Polaris through its Pace's . Nice work for where you were out there in the woods.
You think the way I do. Take the jobs nobody wants to do. I love a good challenge. Really appreciate your videos. May God bless you and your family.
Great video Ron thanks for sharing have a great day
OK, Ron. I have just about pounded my computer desk into kindling wood getting thru Part 3 and knowing you don't cuss, being a retired Master Sergeant, I did it for you. Nothing unforgivable, just a few emphatic phrases to get that van around. Snakes always seem to give you a wide berth. Guess they remember the GARDEN and don't want to push their luck. I'm with your Dad, never thought that van would come around without taking a tree or two with it. As always, GREAT job.
Ron, you and your dad did a great job. I’m so glad to see your dad keeping up with his son. You both seem to have a fantastic relationship. I bet you’re dad sure is proud of you! I wish you would do a Video with just you and your dad talking. It would be nice to get to know the man.
Meth lab. And you wonder why the truck was up there? God help those poor deluded and broken people.
That was My thought too.
Same as w/that box truck w/mattress in the back....meth lab or pot growin'…..but the van was Obviously that meth lab.
What I was thinking as well.
I have a friend who happens to do DEA investigations/raids and she and I talk frequently on this particular subject.
that made all clear what happened
Ron! Did you call in the lab??
Sapo Yeah no kidding.
Awesome job with that Ron, dad and Talon! Y'all are a true asset to your community and the Towing/Recovery industry. More operators should model themselves after your operation!
Epic recovery, Ron! I'm not sure "fun" is the right word, but that looked like good, challenging work. And, safe!
So what do you need to get a U-Haul out of the woods? Straps, chains, lots of cable, a small 4x4 with a winch, understanding of physics and .... a cool DAD! :)
Great job knew you could do it. Glad no one was hurt. Bless both of you
I have no idea how much you got for this job but what ever it was, wasn't enough. God bless.
Goodness!! I do admire your positivity way of thinking and taking on the challenges you do!! Love watching your videos! God has truly blessed you! May He continue to be with you n your crew! Stay safe! :)
I'm sold I will buy me a polaris and Ron as always a very professional outstanding job
Ive got one. Flat towed lots of cars with it. But single line would not pull a stock 1500 out of 2ft of mud.
Great job guys. Good to see Dad still very active.
You all done a great job with nearly impossible odds to work with way to go
Ron I first found your videos about 8 months ago I enjoy you videos and am fascinated with watching the process of recovery the things you can do with those tow rigs is impressive. Thanks for the great videos.
mmaybe if your never not busy you could do a walk around of the wrecker and its little things it can do? just and idea for a video
Leroy The-Savage he's already made a video for that. It's impressive
which wrecker?
The Rotator ua-cam.com/video/rJ_8t60pGhY/v-deo.html and the 20 ton single axle Peterbuilt 337 ua-cam.com/video/TXpm1T59Y2Y/v-deo.html
God really blessed you & yours, Ron, to do another difficult stinker (pun intended 😉) of a job! I truly believe your faith is the foundation for your ability to do what you do so very well!
Love your Vida just FYI that intro and outro music volume is a bit high. For me at least.
Yes - the intro and outro music is much louder than the voice -please turn it down!
Yep, we love your channel Ron but turn it down a notch or two as we can always turn it up here.
couldn't agree more.
I agree. It's my only complaint with Rons videos. Scares me ever time.
@all,complaining about to loud intro/outro: Has your pc not a volume knob ?
Ron does a ton of work,editing and has family and you dare to bother him with peanuts...???
Wow Ron.. That was an amazing recovery.. Watching you slip-slidin on that narrow trail with the steep dropoffs on each side was nerve wracking.. I imagine the drive felt much longer than it actually was.. I know the Lord was helping you keep that van on the road.. Awesome video.. God bless you..
Great Job Ron We will take on jobs sometimes that other companies don't want to do but I always tell the customer up front that on those type of jobs we bill by the hour no estimate no quote for the job because we never know what we are going to run into and how long it will take. Hope you charged enough to pay for new straps and the winch and still made money. God Bless!!!
Why did you not toss that spoiled food out of the van?
It's the old Eagle Scout in me. Leave the site in the same or better condition than you found it in. The food, even though biodegradable, wasn't part of the natural ecosystem in that forest. Of course, the food was nothing compared to the "lab" we found. SMH Thanks for watching and God bless.
Maybe it will attract the bears to the meth lab while the methheads r their...
Ron Pratt aye the good ol' Leave No Trace rule
P.S. Greetings from Hong Kong :)
flir67man Nope, definitely wouldn’t want the bears to eat those methheads and then get sick or stoned from their toxicity flowing thru the bears system!
MrTodd51 Eagle Scout here as well. Love this series. Keep doing what you're doing. Any chance you all are hiring?? This is like a dream job per se for me. That and I'm an avid off roader as well......
testament to fact that side by sides can hold their own and pull more then their wieght as part of any heavy recovery fleet . great job ron and dad
What an amazing set of videos. I love watching you solve problems-you must have been great at geometry. You and your dad almost share the same mind! I hope you sent a copy of these videos along with the statement! God bless you both!
Hip Hip Hooray!! It cranked!! I am sitting in here throwing my arms up in the air. Yall worked so hard.
Great work guys! Not only did you not damage the van, but you did not damage the forest. You might have had to deal with poison ivy but no vehicles not slowing down and moving over. I like how Mr. Pratt drives that Polaris Ranger.
great series . that away to use your brains and save yourback as much as possible. hope you stayed hydrated. congrats.
Wow, that was quite a recovery! Looked like a lot of work in the heat! Hope that one paid some bills!
Great series Ron. Kept me in suspense all these days. Stay safe out there.
Man, I sure hope they paid you guys some good money for all you went through getting that van out of the woods!! Great job by you and your dad.
I have a Polaris Ranger Crew and it is a workhorse. This series from recon to recovery is my favorite just to see that Ranger pull out that one-ton GMC from the forest. Of course the accessories such as your brain, chains, straps, cables, snatch-blocks and winch all helped.
That job was like pulling teeth with a rusty spoon! Congrats on another successful recovery!
Great job guys, and nice to see you and the family working together to problem solve this very tricky recovery.
That was amazing. Ron you are such a great driver. You felt that van slipping, and stopped before it was back in the ravine and you had to begin again. You were so lucky that it rained the second day. Otherwise this video would have been _booor rring_ !
Great series! Enjoyed watching how problems can be overcome with patience and thinking.
U guys did an awesome job on this one... U always do but u and ur dad were very prepared with all the equipment u brought and tools.
Good positive work ethic and attitude...no complaining or whining. Somebody has been spending time with the Almighty.
Fantastic work Ron really enjoyed watching you overcome it all !
I have to give it to you guys, you did a great job, I really didn't think you were going to get it KODUS TO YOU TWO!!!
Great job! I always love a challenging recovery!
Well they will have to do a lot of renting to just pay for that tow bill But you two did a great job congratulations on the extraction especially with the winch capacity you had to work with thank goodness you two weren’t trying to pull it around after the rain And is how the expert tow guys do it bless you and your family
That Polaris is definitely the highlight of this job great job
Just love the accent,just love the comment " if it starts sliding I'm outta here", also ducking out of the way of branches when riding the " caddy" L.o.l
A job well done -- I kept rocking back and forward trying to get up that hill HAHA
Great video Ron as always.
Another satisfied customer for a job well done. That trail was nothing short of a real pain in the butt. But you can't ignore mother nature.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Great job to you and your dad I always love watching your vids god bless keep up the good work
Thanks for the videos and you guys do amazing work god bless you and your team
Hi Ron & your Dad did a great job, on wounder on one else took on the job but then they asked the right guys, thanks great video
It's about time ypu got the professional help you need out there! LOL! Nice to see your dad with you! You got a good head on your shoulders, for figuring out what would work! God Bless and thanks for the good video! They were probably setting up a place for a drug lab! But got stuck!
How did they get that u-haul van up there
Southern killer Pro HD When its dry, hard ground great traction. My grandma uses an 08 dodge grand caravan with a wheel chair lift as her work horse on 100 acres. Goes anywhere and everywhere on street tires..
Lotta luck my guess...lol
My guess is that when the van was driven up there that possibly the trail conditions were somewhat better.
They drove it till it became stuck! Then they had to call their meth buddies to come get them.
also just to note a lot of it was downhill look how much uphill there was going back
You guys defiantly earned your bread on this job, sure hope you got paid well for it! NO to mention how much you asked of that small winch!
Amazing!!! I sure hope Uhaul compensates you big time! Thank you for all you do!
I like that kind of problem solving as well. Just not sure if I like the pucker factor of driving the van out of there. Another good video series.
Great video, the road seemed to be on the top ridge of a mountain, easy to slide off but lots of trees to catch you.
Some of your videos remind me of Job 5:17, Man is born to trouble as sparks fly upward. You certainly exercise Job's patience!
I'm worn out. Neck and shoulders tight as a hat band! Great job, God bless.
Ron, can you give us an estimate on the amount of time & manpower-time that it took for this unique recovery? How do you figure pricing on things like this? Per hour / day / job? Wow as usual, thanks for sharing this with us. You know I was sitting on the edge of my seat edging you and the van forward as you drove thru the "muck!"
Well done! Amen that mess is done. Wow !
What does a recovery like this cost? Great videos, love your positive attitude. 👍👍😀
Ron do you have a 1 ton wrecker with 4x4? Would of been easier to turn the van around and pull out with the wheel lift and drop the drive shaft. Your way was very educational for all us viewers. Nice job on safety and the teamwork you and your dad have.
Testimony to the Polaris!!! Both the machine, and the winch. (Perhaps the winch should be replaced .... worked beyond expectations)
Great videos Ron, thanks so much
I'm pretty sure you made some money on this job... But you said it best - You earned your money on this job !!! Great Job... And nice edit thru 4 parts... Lov'n what your doing !!!!
Nice job Ron love the new winch.
1st comment
keep up the good work
Wow! That was quite the recovery!
Pop the lock on the steering wheel ! 2 tracker / fire trail , normal woods road . Second gear on the van transmission helps with slippage when driving in slippery conditions .
Always nice to see what you are doing
I would like to know how they got that in there?
Keep up the good work Ron, And, Yes, Joking helps.
Good job Ron ! You are a guru
At 17:00 when you guys were stuck on the slope, my 4 year old was on pins and needles till you made it. Then when you did, he grinned so big, pumped both his fists in the air, and proclaimed, "THEY MADE IT!!!" With overwhelming joy. You may or may not realize it, but you have a cheering section as tho youre an olympic sports team. So when youre deep in the quiet woods, if you listen very carefully, you can hear us cheering you on. :) (Bc I know we aren't the only ones. And when the haters get you down, hear the ones who love you)
Your kind words are very helpful. It is so easy to get caught up in the negativity when it is being blasted at you from all directions. Comments such as yours help me to refocus and move forward in a positive manner. Tell the "little" guy that Ron said "hello". Thank you very much. God bless.
The Good Shepard's sheep know His voice. They don't listen to anyone else.
that was one heck of a recovery .....good job...
I’m here after the Q&A with Ron on 12 Feb 2022!
I choked up a bit when LaDonna mentioned the tow with Dad. She finished my sentence during the Q and A. Thank you for watching this video. It definitely portrays my Dad as he was. Thank you for watching and God bless.
I live by carbondale and go to church in carbondale. Glad you got the key.
Great job by Dad and Lad and don’t forget the hero Tallan , 👍🪝🪝🇺🇸🇬🇧🪝🪝.
Whew.....I hope the people saw this video before they saw the bill! You fellas worked your rear ends off for that van.
Good job.
I want you to know I watched every second of 1,2,3 an 4!! An I got to tell you you earned every (. 1¢ penny ) of that job!!!!!!!! I was thinking one huge Huey helicopter when I first seen it....all I can say is awesome super an my hat is off to you!!!!
Great work Ron. I hope you got paid well for your hard work on that job. Any new videos?? Sure miss watching your 50 ton in action. Do you have a name for your truck? Did you train Talon or did he already have some experience??
Wow... just wow. After watching some of your rollover recoveries and such, this is even an amazing job. You have real talent, Ron. As something was mentioned about pay in (I think the 2nd episode), I hope you are getting paid well. Your skills and dedication to work deserve it.
...and yes, Dewalt should definitely sponsor you due to all the free promotion you are effectively giving them. Hope Polaris was watching too.
Wow! I was on the edge of my seat!
Yeah my ex and I had a Chevyuv 3/4ton and we use to go all over the mountain range I loved witching this.
Great video as always very professional.
Unbelievable ! Well done boys.
Well done safe and sound you are both safe
Yea!! Ready for the rest of the ride a long! Thanks!
