    This was truly one of the sketchiest recoveries we've seen. Really nerve-racking. Can't even imagine being you and doing this. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. We made it through the pandemic by watching your recovery videos. My husband was lucky enough to see you in Logan Utah. He was thrilled to look over the vehicles and visit. Sadly he died completely unexpectedly in August. He spoke often of how very friendly and kind you were when he visited in Logan and I thank you for that. You are wonderful people. Hold tight to one another. I only had 31 years with my sweetheart wasn't ready to go on alone. Your videos are helping me get through some very difficult days. Thank you again for sharing

    Matt is a excellent team leader. His primary concern for everyone at that scene was the safety of his team and the customer. You could see the weight of that on his face when he was evaluating the task at hand... While towing is his profession I don't think it would break his heart if that particular trail wasn't there. This crew works well together, and he is lucky to have them...and they are lucky to have him. In my profession I was around and worked with tow companies on a fairly regular basis, and frequently in precarious situations. You can tell the pros from "the not so pro", believe me.
    I love it when Matt asks for input from Rudy. He is weighing Rudy's plan against his own, evaluating it (and him) and watching Rudy grow as a leader. That is how a leader develops the talent that will follow him someday. They work together to find the best plan, and Matt implements it, knowing Rudy is growing into a skilled pro in his own right.

    I can't imagine how awful that must have felt, stuck alone on the side of the steepest hill your vehicle can climb. Every time you shift your weight in your seat, you can feel the entire vehicle slip a little bit more. Leg muscles are burning from holding the brake, and the knowledge that letting up the pressure on the brake pedal, even a little, is a death sentence.
    I bet Stephen King could make that into an entire nail-biting novel. Especially if her cell phone was dead or out of service.

    My dad bought 136 acres in SE Indiana in the late 70s. It was all hills and trees, we didn't farm, and dad wanted a trail to the top of one of the hilltops that he could take his tractor and our 41 Willys Jeep up. The trail was cut, but about 2/3 of the way up it got steep. There was a turnaround spot, but if you didn't turn around you were committed and you didn't stop or slow down. To make thing even more fun the 41 Willys only had about a foot of play in the steering wheel and the brakes only worked on the right front wheel and only if you pumped the pedal 2 or 20 times. Good times!
