@@CaseyLaDelle so in this case you are dealing with the insurance company. Are they also the ones wo gave order to salvage? How does that work in your country?
@@henkoosterhof5947 yes, this is an auto accident and therefore insurance is involved. They look at the value of the vehicle versus the cost/extent of repairs to determine whether to fix it, or total it out and send it to a salvage auction
Retired Ford supplier quality engineer here once responsible for wheels. If you saw the testing that wheels have to survive in order to be approved for production, you would never doubt their strength.
It always cracks me up when people say not to pull on a rim, and to use one of the T-slots in the frame instead. Like, how would you think that hooking to a hole in a piece of sheet metal is stronger than a structural component that’s tied into the vehicle with multiple points that are designed to take all the dynamic forces that the vehicle will see driving down the road
Casey I would like to see more of Ethan helping out you two are hilarious to listen to. I admire his positive optimism on things. To answer Ethan's question I love the commentary it is fun to listen to because you all are friends hanging out and having fun
Love the bantering. Could Ethan slow his transitions from one spot to another with the camera, please? I was totally getting sea sick from the quick back and forth..... thank you. Love the content, just had to not watch for a while.
Love the humor and the honesty... It's good to know that you do what you want to do and I read your comments when you respond to keyboard warriors and it puts a huge smile on my face...!!!! Keep being you Casey.. never sell out like other UA-camrs do...!!!!
Anyone that gets mad at you for hooking on to the rim needs to first of all remember it's not their vehicle. Second realize it's one of the most solid strong places on the vehicle to pull on!
I wheeled with the Timber Tamers for years. I carried a set of traction boards and was laughed at for it. In the right situations they really work well. They also made really good snow shovels when they didn't work....
I loved that little time-lapse bit at the end that showed the truck getting flipped over and pulled out. It kind of summarizes the whole thing nicely. You should do that for every video.
I hope you enjoyed Movie night with those girls. Enjoy them, I think I blinked or something because my little girl is 19 in 3 weeks. They grow up fast. There will always be another recovery but movie nights will end sooner than you can imagine. Keep up the good work and even more the good work / life balance!!
Casey, your videos are very interesting and the unique banter between you and your co-conspirator du jour are entertaining and enlightening. Ethan is a great companion on your recoveries as is Grumpy, Alex, Nate, Jeremy, Carina, Riley, and I forget the others. You put out enjoyable videos and I look forward to them when they appear.
Absolutely - the genuine back-and-forth is what I come here for - after awhile, you've seen 47 trucks pulled out of the ditch on that same road, but it's the spur-of-the-moment quips and jabs that are why I keep coming back to watch.
Great job getting this back on its wheels, without breaking a rim! Shocking! Also without any further damage. Man I could hear that snow crunching as you drove away. I know that sound. It is very cold out and that is the sound of very cold snow.
Totally enjoy the banter between you and whomever happens to be holding the camera, even if it is you. What you do is impressive and your work ethic (how you take care of the people, vehicles and the environment) is top notch!! Keep up the good work!
Yes Casey Ethan is a good addition to the videos you do , i think it's always great the way you always clean up the area when you're finished with the job take care and thanks for another great video 👍
I enjoy the variety - banter, no banter, silly, worried and serious. Always fun and light hearted in the end. I enjoy watching you do what you do. and on the snow jobs I get to see what I love without being cold!
Good job Casey and Ethan! for the record, I love the bantering! two friends, doing a job, but having fun and keeping each other company while doing it.
Yes! Commentary from the people assisting you is valuable! Grumpy is usually very good about explaining or describe to us what you are doing and why. I like that! Sometimes he also talks to your customers and explains to them what you are doing. I know you tell them; but sometimes they don’t get it or understand it until Grumpy explains it to them. I like that! Nathan is an excellent addition to your crew/team as well! I absolutely do want to see more of him on the channel! What I really DON’T like, is you running around the woods/back country ALL BY YOURSELF! You are not immune to danger or Mr. Murphy catching up with you one day; and the problem is compounded when you are all by yourself! Two heads are ALWAYS better than one, even IF they have no knowledge or experience with what you are doing! Casey, you are very methodical and meticulous, sometimes you can do things without even thinking and that can also bring danger or trouble. So an extra set of eyes watching you and even some questions being asked at that right moment can be a life saver! So, I wish you had a regular crew of some good people that go out with you all the time! Sure when it is just a routine domestic call for help; you can do those by yourself. But you could even use those as teaching moments for crew members that might be young or inexperienced. Take the time to educate a few others (your crew)while you are working off camera. Maybe on the legal issues, or more on the duties you would like to see them performing on a routine basis; almost as if they were employees. Because you are running a business and when customers see someone working with you, some people might assume they are an employee of the busines, Some of your customers do ask your ride alongside questions. Whatever you produce is always good content! It definitely is very nice when your content changes from time to time as well! Thank you for taking this HUGE endeavor and sharing it with us! I will be a LONG time subscriber!
Enjoy the interaction. Enjoy when Ethan and Jeremy go with you. Don't remember which one; but a few episodes ago one of them was asking questions. They may already know the answer, but they were good questions for viewers that may be uninformed and learn something from their questions. On that note they don't try to tell you how to do your job or try to make bad decisions. you are so polite to people that do try to do that and don't really know what they are talking about. Keep up the great work.
For someone who is "NOT GOOD AT IT" well I'm impressed with your knowledge in recoveries... As a professional keyboard warrior I'm left keyless... I have nothing negative to type...!!!!
You care more than most recovery guys about damage to the vehicle and do a good job getting everything picked up keep doing what you do and charge accordingly to keep your business going
I've watch all your videos. Just wanted to tell you thanks for great entertaining content. What I enjoy the most is that you're doing all this pretty much by yourself. Great camera work, narration and editing. Proving you don't have to have a big production crew to produce a really entertaining channel. Thanks!
Not necessarily. Non-limited slip differential... Truck gets stuck, owner floors it to get loose and just spins tires, rear end swings left and catches the edge of the incline, gravity ensues and it tumbles down. Had the Ford driver had chains on, this could've been avoided. Unfortunately, people think that just because they have good ground clearance or 4x4, they're immune to the effects of snow.
I enjoy the banter! When there isn’t any, I wonder if something is wrong. Do what you feel and remember that you are the reason I watch! Love ya always!!
I was just reminded of the saying "slow is fast". When we slow down, stay calm, think and run the plan through our heads, often times things come together quit well.
Yea Ethan! Of course we like to have Ethan along. Grumpy can't always be available and it's nice to have someone to do some of these things and keep you on your toes. :D Also, I was wondering how John was doing, The guy whose van you rescued and got rebuilt?
Nice to see that you show your mistakes and everything in your videos (warts and all). Lends a real air of authenticity and humility to the videos. Keep it up!
Nice recovery Casey!! You had some small hurdles to overcome but you rose to the occasion with no problem!! LOL!! Glad I wasn't out there freezing my butt off with you!! 😆 Yeah, I think Ethan would be a good addition!
always rad to have Ethan along! Banter away, this is YOUR channel/your time Casey! Haters can skidaddle 🤣🤣🤣FORD= Found on roof daily . Glad the driver was okay. I am only on UA-cam and happy to follow along. Awesome rescue, hope you had a great movie night. Ethan is awesome!
I love your channel and your sense of humor and your honesty. It was great having Ethan along for the ride, hope to see more of him in future. Take care Casey and stay safe.
Oh man this brings back so many memories. I rescued many roll overs in the country and city. The one thing I do miss is the roll overs. Everyone is different and some are more challenging. I always ran the L arms. A lot of the guys I worked with ran the wheel scoops. I never did like scoops because it is to easy for the vehicle to jump out of them. I have seen many but I never lost a vehicle using L arms on my wheel lift.
Ethan would be a good addition, you two banter back and forth and it's entertaining for the places that otherwise would be dead spaces in the recovery.
Awh, this brings back memories of winter maintenance on Mt Bachelor the year Subaru was their official vehicle. I saw more Subaru's upside down that year, usally Wanoga or Misner snow park.
In a situation such as this were the insurance is going to consider the car a total loss. Will you bill the insurance company for the tow?
Absolutely. It’s sitting in my storage yard right now and the insurance company can’t pick it up until the bill is paid.
@@CaseyLaDelle so in this case you are dealing with the insurance company. Are they also the ones wo gave order to salvage? How does that work in your country?
@@henkoosterhof5947 yes, this is an auto accident and therefore insurance is involved. They look at the value of the vehicle versus the cost/extent of repairs to determine whether to fix it, or total it out and send it to a salvage auction
Now out of curiosity, if the insurance totals it out, can you/ someone buy it back before it goes to auction?
@@johna004 My relatives had their car totaled and was offered money or a decreased amount if they wanted the car back.

@@CraftySasquatch still FAR stronger than any T-slot in a unibody, or even full frame vehicle
I have seen them come apart in a bad situation. But all and all you are correct.
That’s great to know because people just feeek out for no reason.
@@CraftySasquatch Watch "Highway Through 🛣 Hell" (weather channel) when they extricate Semi Trucks they almost always pull from the wheel
Casey I would like to see more of Ethan helping out you two are hilarious to listen to. I admire his positive optimism on things.
To answer Ethan's question I love the commentary it is fun to listen to because you all are friends hanging out and having fun
AGREE !
Heck ya! the banter is what makes it enjoyable!
It is fun!

You have to to a point or this is impossible to do at a full time level.
@@CaseyLaDelle The banter really makes the videos, imho.
"Keyboard warriors", good one.
@@carmenevans7651 not everyone can be a yes man 24/7.
@@archieharrison9433 meaning?
Hi , Casey , one thing I admire about your channel is that there's no commercials or interruptions . And you do great videos ⁉️👍
Anyone that gets mad at you for hooking on to the rim needs to first of all remember it's not their vehicle. Second realize it's one of the most solid strong places on the vehicle to pull on!
Great family man 👍Ethan is great addition( hes no grumpy) love how u take precautions to preserve customers vehicles.
I wheeled with the Timber Tamers for years. I carried a set of traction boards and was laughed at for it. In the right situations they really work well. They also made really good snow shovels when they didn't work....
I used to keep a couple wooden planks in the bed of my 2WD pickup when driving in the sand down by the river ... Oregon. Early 70's now I am 70

I want to see a lot more of Ethan helping out. His commentary and your back and forth is hilarious.

I like the discussion between Cody and Casey during the recovery. Cody's an upbeat guy that does good job recording.
Thx Casey for an informative video taking us along on your adventure to recover a Found On Road Dead.
I like both Ethan and Grumpy, and the banter that you guys have. It's what I would do if I were in your shoes, too.
I suspect Traction Boards is now part of the rescue vehicle(s) for future snow work or mud. Enjoyable and thanks

I prefer Grumpy. Eddie Haskell is a little too much. Probably a nice guy but..
Great job getting this back on its wheels, without breaking a rim! Shocking! Also without any further damage. Man I could hear that snow crunching as you drove away. I know that sound. It is very cold out and that is the sound of very cold snow.
Wheels are quite strong it's proper procedure to pull from the wheel (and safest)
@@speedfreak8200 Exactly. I was being a bit sarcastic because some think it a bad idea to pull from the rim.
@@macgvrs apologies for missing that
Totally enjoy the banter between you and whomever happens to be holding the camera, even if it is you. What you do is impressive and your work ethic (how you take care of the people, vehicles and the environment) is top notch!! Keep up the good work!
Ethan definitely is a positive asset to making the content of the video just that more enjoyable. That Ethan, he's a keeper!
Awesome recovery and i'm glad that Ethan went with you so you wouldn't be alone
A on demand differential locker in the rear of that tow rig would really help in those situations.
Yes Casey Ethan is a good addition to the videos you do , i think it's always great the way you always clean up the area when you're finished with the job take care and thanks for another great video 👍
It was great banter between you and Ethan and loved his comments during the recovery, happy and chearful :)

Casey you do you! One of the biggest reasons I enjoy your channel is because of the banter!
Ethan's towing knowledge and energy makes great banter with you! Bring him again!
Great and funny video, the traction board ordeal was hilarious
They must have had a bit of speed to roll on that small incline. . Great video

Nice to see that you show your mistakes and everything in your videos (warts and all). Lends a real air of authenticity and humility to the videos. Keep it up!
Always appreciate the professionalism from Casey. having aq camera operator makes better content, usually.
I love that tow truck so much and that it’s still in service.

Nice recovery Casey! That’s how you find most FORDS…..belly up!! 😂😂 thanks for sharing!
I like the chatter between the operator and cameraman as that informs me on what they are doing and why.
love the banter it adds to the video
I like the timelapse at the end of the video! Great idea! It would be cool to see more of these.
Great recovery, hope no one got hurt 🤕. Stay safe, because your not good at this 😸.
