      Completely agree and I was going to post something very similar, spare fuel, keys & for crying out loud chains if you go out in the snow & ice. Rubber vs ice is no contest-the ice will win.First base in Europe to fit chains. Sorry for criticism but your procedures need tightening up.. ..because you have committed all 3 offences a number of times. You never forget to fill up with food though!
      Great videoes & team though, I always tune in.

    Since Matt has forgotten the keys on a number of rescues I think its only fitting punishment that on the next 3 rescues Tom must ask Matt "Do we have the Keys" every 10 minutes. This will reinforce the memory of checking for the keys in both parties. I love your videos, And yes I believe in tough love.

    This is not just a Tom problem. You guys need to have a checklist in your vehicles for some standard items (gasoline, keys, etc) needed on recoveries. Go through that checklist before you allow yourself to leave the shop. Also, suggest carrying a pair of boots modified with 3/8" lg - #8/#10 hex hd machine screws in the soles for these occasions.

    • @JohnShalamskas

    Tip for getting cell phone service. Lean your phone against the windshield of the vehicle… the anti shatter properties help pick up signal. It’s even better if you take the phone out any protective case. I live in the backcountry with limited cell service, it always brings a spotty bar service to one and 1 bar to 2

    • @patrickhenigin4805

      Put a phone on a long stick and get it as high as possible.
      Open your phone as a hotspot and make the call from a phone linked to the hotspot, or from the radio info system if it has a bluetooth link.
      You can make a dish shaped reflector out of aluminum foil for extra range.
      Text messages work better than voice. Your phone will try several times to get the text message through.

    This is a prime example for the importance of closed loop communications in team operations. Never assume what someone heard you when giving instructions. Always require a response. If no response repeat the instructions. That IS the team leader’s responsibility. In other words, not Tom’s fault. Teams succeed and fail together.

    Tomtom’s punishment should be to formulate a pre-recovery checklist. You should have a routine that occurs before EVERY call to avoid mistakes like this. Using a challenge response method to complete the checklist will involve two parties and greatly reduce the opportunity for mistakes to occur. This is what we do in aviation for each step of the flight. You guys have already employed this tactic with your 6 steps when entering a customers vehicle. Just take it one step further and implement a checklist for each phase of your recoveries. You guys are an incredible team and I think this would be a great step to increase your efficiency.

    Great recovery, as always! You're right about the use of caravan: in France they use it (caravane) for both a camper trailer or a string of vehicules doing a long journey together. Here in Quebec, the mostly french-speaking part of Canada, we use the word "roulotte" for a camper-trailer but we use the word "remorque" for a trailer not used for camping/living. Now you can "word-drop" french words in your videos! Cheers!

    No punishment... it's your fault. When an employee is not working up to expectations, first check to see what YOUR doing wrong. You need to have, and use, a checklist every time you leave for a recovery. keys, gas, weather-appropriate clothing, emergency gear, did I say gas? Been following you guys for a while. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the hours of entertainment.

I realized when talking to this guy...I watch too many recovery videos because I sounded like I do this as a job. He was a bit nervous and I was like, "Pfft no worries, I know where to tow from since this vehicle has no good recovery points, lets keep in mind this strap is going to pull across and I don't want to pull off your bumper. Okay this is going to be a nice easy pull, I need you in neutral with your wheels turned this way, brakes shouldn't be needed but dont run into me and don't run over my strap." :)
