      Many years ago I put together a survival tote to carry in the trunk all the time. In the PNW, you never know what the weather can throw at you and with the traffic situation as it is, you never know when you could be sitting in a miles long parking lot for hours. Water, energy bars, paper towels, blankets, flashlights, reading material, etc. I also threw an empty backpack just in case I need to walk away from the car. Transfer everything into the backpack and you have something to help you out. I have never had to use it, but it sure gives me peace of mind. It always amazes me that people go where they do with no thought of "what if". No water at all and you are driving into a desert sandy area? Wow!

    Still stand by what I said early last year that if you guy's weren't around both the sand dunes and mountains around you would claim a lot more lives. The work you do is truly essential for people to enjoy the great outdoors, also always have water in your car even if your not going out in the middle of know where.

      I think any AWD, 4WD should. Because AWD/4WD means you can get it stuck wirse then most 2wds. Question. Why are some pulls they put staff behind the wheel? Others the owner? I have seen them pull the owner (who seems to know how) to put their person in. This gal wasn’t seeming off road capable... they had her drive?.

    I grew up in the Colorado mountains and have been caught by surprise by snow drifts before. I remember thinking I could drive right through one "small" one and, well, it was hard as a rock. Fortunately, 30 minutes of digging and doing the rocking back & forth thing got me back out. Impossible to be too judgmental of those young kids.

    I tried helping a Blazer who got stuck in the snow yesterday. We saw the wind blow him just far enough to hit the soft shoulder and swerve off into the ditch, completely high centered. Unfortunately my hitch shackle turned out to not be in the car so I couldn't use my kinetic rope, and I couldn't get him out with just a strap. Got him back about 18" but that was all she wrote.
    Can't wait for my Matt's Rope and soft shackle to arrive, got the shipping notification that afternoon, haha. Next time I'll be able to get them the few feet farther to reach the pavement
    (Also, be EXTREMELY careful helping people in blizzard conditions, if that doesn't go without saying. It doesn't do much good to stop to help if someone hits you. We do utility work so we had lights, hi-vis vests, etc and I had my partner watching for/directing traffic while we attempted to get him unstuck. If you not positive you can help safely just leave it to the professionals like Matt.)

    I watch Ron Pratt (Midwest Trucking) and Matt's off road recovery like a religion. Funny thing is, as soon as either post a new video, they get about the same number of dislikes. I'm pretty much convinced they both have a small group of haters with nothing better to do than punch the dislike button as soon as you guys put up a video. Fans give you "LIKES", haters give themselves ulcers. Best part is, even the hater views bring in You Tube money! LOL...
