    I’m the driver here. I can answer any questions you guys have. No, I was not under the influence of anything nor speeding. The incident happened due to bad visibility and large amount of sand and gravel was one the road at the time of the incident causing me to lose both steering and braking. Just happy both me and the passenger got off with barely any injuries.

    Josh, you taught Alex well, he is an excellent PR man with the descriptions of what he is doing. Great video from start to finish, my biggest fear was Alex running into a rattler or passing out from heat. Car owner has some explaining to do to his insurance company. Glad he was okay.

      The top three causes of motor vehicle accidents in California are speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence. Following the speed limit, paying attention to the road, and driving sober go a long way in making roads -- even windy mountainous roads -- less dangerous.
      Also, guardrails are installed based upon the road structure, road use, number and type of accidents, and all sorts of other details.

    One good idea is bring your drone that way you can see how much line you have left on the spool while you are at the end of the line,then when you have time see how many soft shackles can be on the drone ,and how many hard shackles you can put on the drone.

    • @PepesTowingService
      @PepesTowingService  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Where would you put the drone ? You need both hands to hike down plus carry all the equipment. And the wireless remote doesn’t reach that far so what purpose would it even serve. That’s why you have a second person up top to physically see and communicate via headsets.

    It would be helpful to have a portable winch to provide a long line with smaller cable to at least aid the person doing the climb. Some type of cart to roll down and back up at least part of the way to carry a man and gear would also be helpful. Somebody is going to get in trouble in the heat on the climb.
