      @@aussiebloke609 You do realize that Utah has dangerous spiders too..
      1. Black Widow
      2. Hobo Spider
      3. Desert Recluse
      Probably the only one likely to kill is the black widow though.

    • @aussiebloke609
      @aussiebloke609 4 роки тому +8

      I do realise. We even have the recluse spider in Oz. But beyond that - the aussie redback is a close cousin to the black widow, and while its venom is very potent, it's also the least likely of the dangerous Australian spiders to actually bite. Then there's the Sydney Funnel Web...a spider with a potentially deadly bite (thankfully, antivenin is readily available these days)...that is aggressive by nature...and loves to make a bed in your shoes, then bite you when you try to get dressed the next morning (and the large fangs can pierce through your toenail if it's in the way.) Or they can be found hanging out in the bottom of the swimming pool. Or just walking around the garden, or in the house after it rains. Listed as probably the most venomous spider in the world - and common in the Sydney suburbs.
      And that's why we don't usually survive that particular lack. It's a very common spider, so the odds of getting bitten are just too high.
      PS: Any time someone asks about venomous snakes in Oz, the usual response is to not worry about it - because the spiders have killed off most of the snakes by now. While this is a gross exaggeration, there is a kernel of truth to it.

    It's insane to me how soft that is for being so dry. Shows you the difference between where you guys are and Maine. I feel your pain though.I used to get my flatbed stuck once a week in the winters up here. There's a reason I'm so good at recovery and it's because I'd get daily practice with getting myself unstuck

    I tell you what. I think you are just a great, caring, and down to earth guy. If I ever get out that way, I plan to stop an meet you in person. You just roll with it, no matter what a job throws at you. Calm, and even keeled. Keep the videos coming. Oh, and your friend there is a class act as well. Bringing people home, and walking back to the bar to help the next person get home safe. I kinda want to come live up there. But, the earth there is too tricky. I'll stay here in my swamps. Have a great day.

    We took a different view than Jimmy. We'd call the tow company and tell them "our car's too drunk to drive home, and you'll have one passenger".
    A $50 tow bill later, we'd wake up in our own bed, and our car would be in the driveway. WAY cheaper than a taxi back and forth, and definitely cheaper than a DUI.

    • @goju09alt9

      Steven Keeffe You gave me one hell of an idea I have been forced into expensive (but great) car insurance, next time I’m driving myself to a bar not any of those taxi/ bus nonsense. And when I want to go home I’ll just rekt a tire, call a tow truck get a new tire and drive home 24/7 and I already have paid for it either way.

    • @trevors8577

      Yea, somewhere we lived (think it was Anchorage Alaska) did that and advertised on the radio as such. Your drunk and we'll pick you and your car up and bring them home for a flat rate.. Suppose it was MUCH better and more lucrative than picking up the pieces from drunks who drove and crashed as not every drunk will crash but if they all call the tow truck $$

    • @AndrewBrowner
      @AndrewBrowner 4 роки тому +1

      must be more tow services than taxis in your area, 60-100$ is the average short distance easy tow here and taxis are 7-8$ for about a 5-10 min drive and 25$ from downtown which is about 30 mins
      worth a lil extra to wake up without the anxiety of finding your car though

Loved every minute of it, apart from the 13 hour night shifts, and Christmas days!

    When you're in soft ground you need to start moving with the front wheels straight. Every time when you got in trouble it was because the wheels were cut. You've got a really tight cut angle with that truck which is great but its like a brake when you go to start moving. Let it move, even an inch BEFORE you turn the wheel.

    • @scdevon

      It's amazing how worthless in general heavier duty trucks are off-road. Any two wheel drive passenger car with bald tires could make that turn. Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive.

    This was one of the most amusing ones to date!! Man, I loved that elderly woman!! She was good stuff, and knew her horses. This might seem like a small thing, but big ups to you Matt, for taking that Lifesaver from Jimmy! I was ashamed that your cameraman refused it. He didn't have to eat it, but accept an offering with grace, like Matt did!! It is my hope that I get to meet Matt and Ed in my lifetime. I wish I knew about you when I was living in Kingman, AZ a few years ago. I was through Hurricane several times, on business. I would have driven up on my days off, just to meet everyone, especially Ed. I have been Mapquesting the distance now. I am about 20 hours away, across the country. Would it be weird to plan a vacation just to get to have a short conversation with Ed? I am considering it!!

    I drove a flat bed in Sacramento California for many years. There was a program called "tipsy tow" that a few tow companies would help out with on new years eve and now I belive they doit for two or three more holidays now but if you drank to much you would call a number that the bar had on the counter top and a tow truck would come get your car and yourself of course 44⁴and take you home free of charge!! Lots of DUI's and crashes happen because the person did not want to leave their car somewhere so this was a pretty cool option to have. And for free to I mean come on!! I could go on for hours with some of the rather interesting stories that would take place just on new years eve alone doing that job!! Anyway thanks to the people that created the tipsy tow and thank you Jimmy for helping out and keeping the streets a little safer for everyone!!

    An 80 year old friend of mine crawled under his trailer house last year and ended up being bitten by something. The doctors weren't sure if it was a brown recluse or what it was, but the bite on his ankle took regular visits to a wound doctor for about 5 months until it finally healed up. It was a mess, they had to keep cutting and scraping away around the bite until he had a good size hole in his ankle. You might not have ever gotten bitten by something dangerous YET, but someday will come if you keep pressing your luck 👍

    Watched a long flatbed tow truck driver try to flip a u-turn at the top of a mountain, off to the side of the road there was a ditch and he backed into it and the back tires were floating off the ground while the front tires and flatbed sat on the ground. Driver hopped out of the truck, extended the flatbed, and pushed himself out of the hole with the bed before i could offer help, this video reminded me a lot of that experience 😂
