    Not only have you been drawing attention to Lake Mead and the dropping water levels, you shined a light on a man in need of help, and brought people from all over the world together!! I've seen people from Australia, U.K, and every state in the US watching and cheering this great rescue! Our default mode should be to help each other out, and you and your videos brought Craig the resources he needed at what seemed a desperate time for him. A+++ to everyone involved!!!!!!!!!!

      Yes, this was an awesome thing to watch. I sat through it with a big smile, and a few tears, but that was the hayfever . Like the guys said, it was one of those magic moments where things came together in a big pile of karma. I thought it was great when the guys first helped Craig out, and then we get this amazing response.
      And of course huge respect to the Diesel Brothers for their response. Those guys are awesome, and I'm sure HeavyD's casual comment about after care is going to put an even bigger smile on Craig's face.

      They might've been more of a obstacle, than a miracle... Towing a 10+ ton Boat is NOT an easy task, or job. 🤨

Such an amazing story of people helping strangers in need. So heartwarming and a reminder to everyone watching that there are still good people in the world willing to help those who need it.
