To the people who will comment that the team went a long distance to do that recovery, I suggest you come here to Australia. In the state of South Australia there is a recovery service like Trailmater. Has a recovery truck that was hand built for the job. Based in the last small town at the edge of a sand desert that goes for over 1,000 miles. To do a recovery that is 2 days driving away from the shop is not unusual and typically there are no roads and hardly any tracks. You break down out there with out a satellite phone or emergency beacon and no one will be able to find you even if they realise you have not reached your destination. Gets up to over 50 deg cel temp in summer. No shade, no water no nothing but sand and rock.
For the people that are still on imperial measurements 50 degrees Celsius is 122 degrees Fahrenheit. I live in southern Ontario and when the temperature passes 30 degrees. Or 86 we are complaining. Of course that would also be with close to 100% humidity. Love winter I can’t put more clothes on but if I take one layer more off in the summer,the neighbours complain.😀
Does that recovery service have a youtube channel by chance? I'd love to see it. I do watch out back truckers and really enjoy it. Some of their trips are always an adventure in and of themselves.
I have been running Subarus since the 90s. I've relied on them to get me all over Alaska, down the AlCan 3 times, and across the country. Rory is absolutely right. They will take you anywhere the road goes in any season. They are not an off road vehicle.
There's a big difference between the old Legacy's and Outback's of the day versus these modern Impreza's. Subaru has gone downhill since 2009 and I wouldn't touch one after that model year. The FB/FA/CB engines are just rubbish.
Some Subarus do just fine off road. The Impreza is not an off road vehicle. That's why they made the Crostrek. They aren't rock crawlers but they can handle that road from the video
This is a great statement. Subarus in snow on the road are a marvel, in college, I ran mine all over the mountains. They are not 4wd and should not be in Moab.
I once test drove a Crosstrek and the salesman was just a joke. They wouldn't budge on the price or the trade in value on my other car but just kept chanting "it's a Subaru" over and over. I didn't buy it.
The cone Mike asked about in the bonus footage is the burn cone for an old sawmill. Back in the day, sawmills used to burn the saw dust. These days the sawdust is hauled off and turned into practical board.
I believe they burned everything (bark, cutoffs, and sawdust) they couldn't turn into a board to sell. I always thought night time was the best time to see them. They did put out a lot of smoke at times.
On the west coast they were called wigwam burners. Burned sawmill waste. They were quite a sight at night when they were burning. Huge screen Dome goes on top.
Glad you're back in mostly one piece, Mike! Your love for nature and respect for it really shows through. Looks like Colorado has some gorgeous country too!
The smooth dirt road was mostly fine for Mike's incision, but when they got to bumpy, rocky part of the road he had some discomfort. Justin's editing removes "behind the scenes vocabulary" but still is doing a great job of cut and paste. Mike probably leaves the camera on depending on battery life, and that gives Justin a lot of footage to pick from and we get to see what they produce. Maybe Rory's ol' Lady does some editing too, she may like our comments and that is where the red hearts come from.
We had one in the Jemez mountains in NM off of Gillman Road, East of State Road 4. You can still drive through the rock tunnel to get there. Couple more in logging/lumber processing factories. It was great as a little kid 65 years ago to go to the "mountain lumber yard and buy timbers, thick beams and other rough sawn wood" It was cheap too!
Mikes tours and nature studies are such interesting little additions. Fascinating watching those two very different rivers coming together right up close. Mikes observation about which he would choose if he were a fish cracked me up. You guys are the best.
Mike to answer question about tall domed structure which passed while driving, although scene went by quickly, old saw mill slash burner or teepee burners, used to burn waste byproducts of saw mill, sawdust, and wood scraps, slash. Definitely oddity to see out in flat dessert environment, timber felled in mountains and logged were often transported to down out of mountains, milled lumber then much easier to transport on trucks, definitely unique structure from our past, thanks for bringing history, geology, and your modern work together, always fun, fascinating, and educational.
Smunched: portemantout word conveying all the devastation of smooshed, together with a light seasoning of smashed, and all the tumultuous finality, rending and grinding of crunched. Rory said it with far more economy but no less meaning, the man's a poet.
Not the most dramatic rescue, but still different from any of your other ones that I've watched and still interesting. This is definitely my favorite TH-cam channel.
That cone looks a little worn out. However, it looks like the ones currently used in Oregon to burn sawdust and then what is left is used to make charcoal. Then bagged and sold so we can have our grill for the weekend cookouts. Enjoyed the video.
That item at the end is a Wigwam Burner. Used to burn sawdust and waste wood. There were squirrel cage fans surrounding the bottom to add "Turbo Charged" air to the coals and man were they HOT! These days the waste wood and sawdust is used to power a boiler and used to generate electric power and steam for dry kilns.
We call those wigwams in Idaho. There were hundreds across northern Idaho to burn the wood shavings from all the small lumber mills. It was cool driving though north Idaho at night seeing these glowing along the hill sides.
I was appreciating that big block sound as well. I have a Ford F600 with the 370, I like hearing that thing talk when I’m hauling logs, lumber and ties.
Mike…that thing at the end of your show is a Wigwam, at least that’s what we called them in Oregon where I live. Here, the mills would burn all the bark and junk wood but this ended back in the late 60’s I believe. Around the time the mills started to decline and the wood industry was being forced to quit. I live where it was a mill rich industry, today there is only one left. Sad 😢

Pretty much EVERY new vehicle is rubbish!!!! Even if I could afford a new vehicle, which I can't, I would not buy one of these electronic pieces of garbage. If they would just have left the electronic engine controls in place, (they have worked well for years), and leave everything else manual, it would be perfect. I can put a transmission in gear. It is not hard. I can apply the parking brake, that is not hard either! Waaaaaay to many NANNY controls on the new vehicles. I can also pull/push a lever to engage the transfer case. My 09 Dodge has a button that you turn to engage the transfer case, and I hate it. What happens if I am out on a nasty/ snowy/ muddy/ flooded, road at night, and I desperately need the front wheels pulling, and the bloody button does not work? That could very well be life threatening!!! If I have the need for a different pickup because mine is wrecked, I would buy and older manually operated pickup, and I would just rebuild everything. I am fortunate because I know how to do that.
Mike, that's a Wigwam burner. They were used to burn logging and lumber waste. Prevalent in Northern California until the 1980's. There are water flumes along Highway 80 between Truckee and Reno. Flumes were used for hydro electric power, ice, lumber, and corded wood transportation.
That Mike, was a sawmill waste burner. I grew up around them and even hauled one of the last ones made, from the fab shop to the sawmill site. They were very common place in my neck of the woods up here in B.C. they were replaced with more eco friendly burners from which they harvested heat for the sawmills and lumber kilns. Nice country there, except I have a hard time believing there were no off road towing companies there that would do the job. Thanks for a "different" video.
That last structure was called a wigwam burner. It burned junk wood left over from the milling process. Some of the heat created was used to make steam to drive various pieces of equipment.
A fine example of how technology in a car is not so great, more technology higher cost and potential for something like this. Another great video by the best off-road recovery team on the planet. Thanks!
What a beautiful trip to CO to recover the broken Subaru and Mike always hi lights the important stuff like the structure that supported the flume and the two river's merging together. Very interesting! Shawn is the man. Good video!
I'm a subaru guy and I agree, that car should not be there. There are other models more capable in that terrain. That model had 5" of ground clearance and the suv models have almost twice that.
I came to say exactly that. We’re a 4 Subaru Family, but none of us would ever consider driving one of the Imprezas, or probably even the newer Outback on those roads. My older stick shift Crosstrek? I’d be damned tempted. 😉
That is the perfect carbecause that is the car they had with them. Optimism was high and daylight was a’burning. I guess they could have stayed home and watched more TH-cam and never even tried. Yet what use is that? Now they know ONE of their new Subarus limits and are better for it. and upward….full speed ahead!
Mike, that metal TeePee shaped structure is a "TeePee' Burner used at sawmills to get rid of sawdust, and slabs in the making of lumber. They were a common sight all over the west up until about 1975 or so.
Great recovery! And as for your cone shaped steel structure, saw mills from the 1980's and earlier used these cone style burners to burn off all their scrap wood and shavings.
Paradox is an interesting valley. Valley runs northwest to southeast. River crosses southwest to northeast; enters and exits through narrow canyons. Bring your lunch! No services, no fuel, several ranches, two churches, a Post Office.
I have a 2014 Subaru with electronic steering, not a fan but I lost my steering when I pulled the telescopic steering out toward me. I pushed it back in and still to this day I haven't had a problem. I never pull the steering wheel out either.
Mike- It's a beehive burner used to burn waste products at lumber mills. They were common in Oregon until all the lumber mills shut down. Not many left now.
At the end of video, the metal construction I believe is for burning large amount of material. I saw one and used one at an old cardboard box manufacturing factory, it's like a big kiln.
Mike, the thing you saw and didn't know what it was, was called a "Bee Hive Burner" and was used to burn Saw Dust at the old saw mill that was located there. They didn't have use for the sawdust in those days so just burned it to get rid of it. I don't think they even had any way to generate electricity with the heat either.
The teepee-like object was a 'furnace' used to burn the wood scraps at a sawmill. Most wooded towns out west had one until the EPA made them close down.
Subaru tends to market an image of their vehicles being more capable than they really are (though, honestly, all of the car makers seem to do that with any AWD vehicle. AWD does _not_ equal 4WD, and stock 4WD does _not_ equal 4WD with beefed up suspension, axles, lifts, transfer cases and so on. So... while I am a Subaru owner, I understand I have no business being in a place like that with the vehicle I have.
depends which subaru your in . i've owned subarus that would have easily coped with that track but as i said in another comment ,any car with a front air dam shouldn't be off road, unless specifically designed to do so.
It amazes me that you and your crew and Matt get called to out state jobs. Matt has stated in his videos that no one local will do some of the jobs and I’m sure it’s the same with you guys. Great job
@@tallpaulsynd If it was in the SE corner that would be where the "4" corners come together. Farmington, New Mexico is on the Southeast, Colorado on the Northeast, Utah on the Northwest and Arizona on the Southwest. Moab is a wee bit South of the middle of Utah. Bet Rory has a scenic drive round trip to Grand Junction, Desert to Mountainous. Howlin' Wolf could move to near Moab but then he'd complain of the Heat. He doesn't like the frigid Winters, I concur, me neither.
@@scuss2 Moab is north of four corners as you stated. He noted that the customer was in Naturita and commented when they passed LaSal. That means they were on Utah 46 that turns into Colorado 90 when it crosses the border between Utah and Colorado. This road takes off from Utah Highway 191 about halfway between Moab and Monticello. Those are the two closest cities to this area.
Just spent a week doing the Ouray Telluride trails. I never thought I'd say it but Colorado may be tied with Moab trails! Great video Thanks for the extra work to bring us along❤❤
The opaque blue color water at the river confluence is called 'marl'. It's caused by calcium carbonate suspended in the water, and is the reason so many rivers and alpine lakes have that brilliant glacial blue.
That was a sawdust furnace from back in the early 60s and back. As a child I remember seeing them glow as they had no use for the sawdust and they burned it in those old furnaces.
As someone who lives in CO. I have seen my Fair share of Subi's that have gotten in over their Capabilities and I have had to help them ... BUT....The driver is also to blame thinking that Their OUTBACK will get them ANYWHERE.. NOT GONNA HAPPEN ... They HAVE their limits , Just make sure you know YOURS , AND your Vehicle people !!!!!! Much love from a TACOMA guy ...
They should call it "Flume de Juere".... I visited Israel and saw the ruins of a 2k year old Roman aqueduct system that was all stone, ran for 10 miles and had 1 degree of down angle over the whole length. A feat of engineering is a feat of engineering! Thanks for sharing the Hanging flume.
The mystery structure in the bonus footage looks like a sawdust incinerator. Before the days of press board, sawmills would burn their sawdust.. Used to be lots of 'em around here in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia
At the end of the video, that is called a teepee burner. They were used to burn sawmill waste. When I was in my 20’s in the mid 1970’s, part of my job was to push stuff around in the burner with a small cat to keep things burning. Don’t think there are many of those still in use.
I had a buddy who had a series of Subarus, a cross trek which blew its trans when the transcooler got caked with mud off road and a outback with bigger tires and all the gadgets which he took into terrain it probably should never have gone. He eventually broke down and bought one of the new Rangers. He says the ranger is a better vehicle in almost every way, even gets better mileage.
We used to Overland on light trails in our Ford Escape. We had 31" A/T tires and HD struts in front for a 1" lift. We would never have taken it on that trail. We have a lifted 4Runner with 33's and a winch, just came back from a 3 week trip to Moab and surrounding areas. We know the limitations of our rig and didn't try going beyond what we have. Beating up our vehicle and needing a tow, then paying to fix everything is not how we want to spend our vacation. We did pull a Subaru out of a drainage ditch where they cut the corner too hard and ended up high centered. Kinetic rope and a small pull, they were on their way. Glad we could help.
At the end, the cone thing is a bee hive burner for wood waste. We used to have one right in the downtown of a town I lived in. Every day, there was a ton of soot on your vehicles. In winter, you could really see how much it was. They retired it and built a co-gen plant that supplies the wood mill and a paper mill with electricity instead! No more soot.
It took me Allot longer than '17: mins' to watch this as I kept pausing to look over the scenery you were sharing.Thank You so much for always sharing your views and knowledge about the areas you travel. There's no way I'll be able to cover most of them and I'd love to see them. Winning situations for All viewing who may never get there too.
Nice recovery with some different scenery. Interesting that they built that for the gold mining. Never put anything past people with the gold mining bug. Thanks for sharing.
Those two rivers, most of the gold came down the San Miguel, but it started to drop out as it reached the slower waters of the Dolores. There were some successful placer mines in that area a century ago, one small one now.
Mike the geologist, posing as a car guy, freakin love it. Dude has so much passion for his environment
mike worked for GM for years before coming here.

Yup, wouldn’t watch it w/o Mike!

I have been running Subarus since the 90s. I've relied on them to get me all over Alaska, down the AlCan 3 times, and across the country.

But But, the Subaru salesperson said I could go anywhere. LOL Beautiful scenery as always
" .....in your dreams, but not even practical in reality......you will be stuck somewhere, some time, someday! "
The Subaru dealership near me has display rocks out front that they park the new models on (approx. RTI 200), so your comment is valid.
I once test drove a Crosstrek and the salesman was just a joke. They wouldn't budge on the price or the trade in value on my other car but just kept chanting "it's a Subaru" over and over. I didn't buy it.
The cone Mike asked about in the bonus footage is the burn cone for an old sawmill. Back in the day, sawmills used to burn the saw dust. These days the sawdust is hauled off and turned into practical board.
LOW INCOME CRACK HOUSE BUILDING MATERIALS!!!!
You mean particleboard?
practical board LOL
Partical/Practical? I've seen worse bastardization of the English language 😂
I believe they burned everything (bark, cutoffs, and sawdust) they couldn't turn into a board to sell. I always thought night time was the best time to see them. They did put out a lot of smoke at times.
Looks like a beehive burner for sawmill waste. Great video.
Isn't that how they made charcoal?
Before MDF and particle board saw mills burn all the particle that was left over from making lumber
Yep, beehive burner. They were a fairly common sight at old defunct small scale wood lots and mill sites growing up in the PNW in the 1970’s.
On the west coast they were called wigwam burners.
Burned sawmill waste. They were quite a sight at night when they were burning. Huge screen Dome goes on top.

Someone probably said it already, but when two rivers come together it’s called a confluence. I learned that in a history class oddly enough.
One place on the cliffs you can look down on that one. The two colors of water stay separate for a half mile or so, depending on the time of year.

Thank y’all again for showing thr scenery. So beautiful out there
That was a "wigwam" used at sawmills for burning waste. They were pretty much outlawed in the 70's.
Mike, the thing you saw and didn't know what it was, was called a "Bee Hive Burner" and was used to burn Saw Dust at the old saw mill that was located there. They didn't have use for the sawdust in those days so just burned it to get rid of it. I don't think they even had any way to generate electricity with the heat either.
The mystery building in final B reel is actually an early prototype interstellar cruiser. Steam powered, of course.
😂🤣😂 Just what I was thinking Apollo 0000
Always enjoy “Mike’s Tours and More 👍🇺🇸
Well done filming of that fantastic scenery. It’s like I was there with you guys. Thanks. From Ontario 🇨🇦
Mike, you are so awesome. Thanks for the tours.
No matter what vehicle, you have to know the trail, and your ground clearance! Yes, I have an older Outback ...
For Mike's, "what is it" at the end, that was used at a saw mill to burn the waste sawdust.
The edits are on point, appreciated it!
The teepee-like object was a 'furnace' used to burn the wood scraps at a sawmill. Most wooded towns out west had one until the EPA made them close down.
Thanks for the video guys
Subaru tends to market an image of their vehicles being more capable than they really are (though, honestly, all of the car makers seem to do that with any AWD vehicle. AWD does _not_ equal 4WD, and stock 4WD does _not_ equal 4WD with beefed up suspension, axles, lifts, transfer cases and so on. So... while I am a Subaru owner, I understand I have no business being in a place like that with the vehicle I have.
This model is absolutely not marketed as an off-road vehicle.
AWD is actually the true definition of 4 wheel drive... all 4 tires are driving.
@@Eric-gi9kg😂
depends which subaru your in . i've owned subarus that would have easily coped with that track but as i said in another comment ,any car with a front air dam shouldn't be off road, unless specifically designed to do so.
We Have Gold Mined All Over In That Area & it's BEAUTIFUL THERE
At the end that's a wigwam burner for millends and sawdust they are everywhere in Oregon
Great vid. Look up the town of Uravan along the Delores river. It was a Uranium mine. Radioactive. Trailtraveler, did a vid on Rimrocker trail.❤
It amazes me that you and your crew and Matt get called to out state jobs. Matt has stated in his videos that no one local will do some of the jobs and I’m sure it’s the same with you guys. Great job
Moab is the closest city to the mountains where they are recovering the car. Moab is in the southeast corner of Utah, near the Colorado border.
@@tallpaulsynd If it was in the SE corner that would be where the "4" corners come together. Farmington, New Mexico is on the Southeast, Colorado on the Northeast, Utah on the Northwest and Arizona on the Southwest. Moab is a wee bit South of the middle of Utah. Bet Rory has a scenic drive round trip to Grand Junction, Desert to Mountainous. Howlin' Wolf could move to near Moab but then he'd complain of the Heat. He doesn't like the frigid Winters, I concur, me neither.
@@scuss2 Moab is north of four corners as you stated. He noted that the customer was in Naturita and commented when they passed LaSal. That means they were on Utah 46 that turns into Colorado 90 when it crosses the border between Utah and Colorado. This road takes off from Utah Highway 191 about halfway between Moab and Monticello. Those are the two closest cities to this area.
14:58 reminds me of Rory's solo days in trail mater. 2 views at once❣️
i always love how Mike is giving us info on the scenery around. Especially in moab area. Best camera guy around. Thanks for bringing us along Rory.
Just spent a week doing the Ouray Telluride trails. I never thought I'd say it but Colorado may be tied with Moab trails! Great video Thanks for the extra work to bring us along❤❤
The opaque blue color water at the river confluence is called 'marl'. It's caused by calcium carbonate suspended in the water, and is the reason so many rivers and alpine lakes have that brilliant glacial blue.
Thanks for showing us the scenery
That was a sawdust furnace from back in the early 60s and back. As a child I remember seeing them glow as they had no use for the sawdust and they burned it in those old furnaces.
Hanging flume, yep years ago Uravan,CO, that other was a burner thingy from a saw mill. Mike Awesome scenery, Taikuu. I saw you Shawn an Rory😅🎉
As someone who lives in CO. I have seen my Fair share of Subi's that have gotten in over their Capabilities and I have had to help them ... BUT....The driver is also to blame thinking that Their OUTBACK will get them ANYWHERE.. NOT GONNA HAPPEN ... They HAVE their limits , Just make sure you know YOURS , AND your Vehicle people !!!!!! Much love from a TACOMA guy ...
incinerator for wood waste usually used for waste bark from log pealing and milling
They should call it "Flume de Juere"....
I visited Israel and saw the ruins of a 2k year old Roman aqueduct system that was all stone, ran for 10 miles and had 1 degree of down angle over the whole length. A feat of engineering is a feat of engineering! Thanks for sharing the Hanging flume.
Been along that stretch of CO141 a few times. One of the prettiest roads in the country.
Thank you guys!! not only do we get to see great recovery but we get to see some beautiful country . Thanks for taking us along
The mystery structure in the bonus footage looks like a sawdust incinerator. Before the days of press board, sawmills would burn their sawdust.. Used to be lots of 'em around here in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia
Excellent recovery guys....the cam shots are always amazing....never see the same stuff twice.....10 out of 10 ......Rock on Rory!!
At the end of the video, that is called a teepee burner. They were used to burn sawmill waste. When I was in my 20’s in the mid 1970’s, part of my job was to push stuff around in the burner with a small cat to keep things burning. Don’t think there are many of those still in use.
I had a buddy who had a series of Subarus, a cross trek which blew its trans when the transcooler got caked with mud off road and a outback with bigger tires and all the gadgets which he took into terrain it probably should never have gone. He eventually broke down and bought one of the new Rangers. He says the ranger is a better vehicle in almost every way, even gets better mileage.
We used to Overland on light trails in our Ford Escape. We had 31" A/T tires and HD struts in front for a 1" lift. We would never have taken it on that trail. We have a lifted 4Runner with 33's and a winch, just came back from a 3 week trip to Moab and surrounding areas. We know the limitations of our rig and didn't try going beyond what we have. Beating up our vehicle and needing a tow, then paying to fix everything is not how we want to spend our vacation. We did pull a Subaru out of a drainage ditch where they cut the corner too hard and ended up high centered. Kinetic rope and a small pull, they were on their way. Glad we could help.
Your channel is both enjoyable and informative at the same time. It's like going on a field trip with you guys!! Best TH-cam channel ever!
Its an Imprezza. The only AWD car Subaru makes that should NEVER leave the pavement.
I love mine in the Canadian prairie winter on ice and light snow ( not the deep drifts though)
At the end, the cone thing is a bee hive burner for wood waste. We used to have one right in the downtown of a town I lived in. Every day, there was a ton of soot on your vehicles. In winter, you could really see how much it was. They retired it and built a co-gen plant that supplies the wood mill and a paper mill with electricity instead! No more soot.
It took me Allot longer than '17: mins' to watch this as I kept pausing to look over the scenery you were sharing.Thank You so much for always sharing your views and knowledge about the areas you travel. There's no way I'll be able to cover most of them and I'd love to see them. Winning situations for All viewing who may never get there too.
Love the map!!!! I like knowing where these places are. It also saves me having to look them up on Google maps. 😅
Nice recovery with some different scenery. Interesting that they built that for the gold mining. Never put anything past people with the gold mining bug. Thanks for sharing.
Those two rivers, most of the gold came down the San Miguel, but it started to drop out as it reached the slower waters of the Dolores. There were some successful placer mines in that area a century ago, one small one now.
Something in the gearbox is “schmuntzed”. Perfect 👍
Thank you the honesty that you all deliver...
