      Before I somehow stumbled on Trailmater and Matts Off Road and this channel, If I was standing on that spot and you told me any vehicle had went over that trail I wouldn't have believed you! Those two wreckers are amazing.

      I just got back from Moab and I can tell you that those trails are way worse than the video shows. And I agree, when i first saw a lot of those 'roads', I thought there is no way I'm going to be able to drive up that.

I had to wonder why Rory didn't pull you from the boom winch to help lift you up/ over instead of a low pull harder into the rock wall? Either way only 1 assist on a trail rated 8 is good. Great content. Happy you finally made it out there safe after the bad roads & Chevy losing an engine. Keep the great videos coming & have a safe trip home!

    I love the recovery videos. Anyone can get in a 4WD and go out and break their rigs. Only a select few can take heavy tow trucks out to recover them. My dually isn't a tow truck it's a tow pig and it weighs 11,000 lbs. Definitely not a offroad machine at all. Great job on the wheeling and recovery!!

    Mad props to the BSF Recovery crew. We all know you're out of your element there in Utah, but you didn't come all that way just to sit on the sidelines, wave your pom-poms and look pretty. You're an offroad wrecker for pity's sakes. No sooner do you blow into town maybe hoping for a quiet minute to catch your breath and settle in after the arduous journey West, but oh no. As soon as Rory heard you were local, he was ready to put you to work. Oh well. That's what you're there for. Work is play for BSF Recovery. The wrecker did very well on terrain it wasn't built for, as did the nut behind the wheel.

He bombs along those trails as though he was on a minor dirt track. He is an awesome guy. I think that’s the hardest trail I have seen him tackle so far, its hard to tell cos he tackles so many difficult ones. It makes so much difference having a good spotter. I started off watching Matt’s off road, they introduced me to Paul and gang at Fab Rats, Robby Layton, Rory, Mischief Maker and now you. I’ll start following you as well, I've subscribed, and will look out for Rory’s take on this recovery. Thanks a lot Eric your off road skill were on show today and you passed with flying colours.
