- If you wanna see us get a Mustang out of the river today, Mustang Fastback, by the way. I think you picked a good day to watch one of our videos. (upbeat music) - Good morning. - [Jared] Good morning Nate. How about a Mustang today? - Yeah, yeah, I like Mustangs. - So we were here yesterday. If you've not seen that video which I put up last week of an RX7, which we we have a RX7 fan. Yes, fan here as well. - In that RX7 video, we also ran into a Mustang Fastback. That's an old mustang. (laughing) - [Jared] 73 is what I think it is. A Mach One. So hang tight because today is gonna be an exciting day as we go after that Mach One today. - All right. (laughing) - [Jared] Here's some beautiful Drone shots for you of the area, so we are South Side of Portland Oregon, to give you guys an idea of where we actually at. So our first plan of attack is really a simple one. The car is only about 11 feet, so we're gonna mark the car, so everybody can see where it's at and then start formulating a game plan to get some Lift bags on this, float the front of it and pull it out today. (goggling) (upbeat music) - I gotta chain choke to the main pulley running out of the front of the engine. Should lift it all right. I'll take a Lift bag. (water splashing) Later, later. (goggling) - Is Nate all ready under there? - Yes. - [James] He's got the first bag. - Ah, way to go Nate. Where it popped up about 10/15 feet from the Mustang. It's upside down, easy flip, easy pull. We have the Mustang, Chevy Silverado, Chevy Love, Datsun pickup, old Chevy car, I'm gonna say '60s, Ford pickup right next to that. That's six, plus the one we pulled out yesterday. If you're new to this channel. You've not already done so, hit that like button. Because we're always coming back out of here, clear up the environment, you never know what is were gonna get. Here's the thing though Jarrett, that mustang, every windows in tact on it. There could be someone, somebodies inside, we never know, that's kind of why we come out here as well, hopefully we could bring closure to a cold case that's never been solved. I've found a old Washington license plate. Can you guys tell me, is that an old sledgehammer from the middle days? - I bet you that is. That used to be a wooden bridge going across right here. - I don't keep too many things. - [James] But that's cool. - I think that ones gonna make a home-- - [James] 80. - - and into the garden. - [James] How heavy is it? - It's heavy, it's a sledgehammer, here, test that out. - Like a mallet hammer for wood pins and stuff like that. Nate said he's gonna chain on one of the pulley's on the front of the motor. He says he should be able to lift it from there. - Weight on a pulley? - Yeah. - That's a lot of weight for a pulley. - It is. - Well, he's been down there a while, let's see what he's got going on. - I got a hook to a... I got a bag. - Is it floating at all? - No. It didn't take any air down. - Oh okay. - We might break the crankshaft. - Well, we don't wanna break any pieces on this. - He's not going to be mad at us if we break anything. - [Nate] You can give him my address. - All right. - [Nate] To send the hate mail. (laughing) - So hate mail, send it to Nate. - This guy. (soft piano music) (goggling) - [Jared] Let's close that Mr Leisek Adventure with Purpose Lift bags (air pushing) - Let it go, how's the bag? - Oh the bag is perfect. He's a good new Mr Leisek, Adventure with Purpose Lift bags, where you can purchase at Mr.Leisek.com/LiftBags. We're now in the Lift bag business. Today's episode sponsor is O'Three, Custom Drysuits, but they don't only have Custom Drysuits, they also have thermal protection for days like today when it's really cold, not just out of the water but in the water as well. A few things I like about the thermals is you can actually zip up from the bottom here, because, I'll show you in just a moment, my little pee zipper, right now. We're in the drysuit, with the pee zipper, which allows me to, I don't have to get out of the suit anymore, which is amazing. This is a brand new drysuit, I've only used it three days now, stay completely dry. So if you are a diver, who's in the market for incredible trilam, front dawning, put double pockets on there, put the pee zippers, whatever you wanna put on there, silicone seals, if you want latex, if you want neoprene seals, they will hook you up with even Kubi dry gloves. They are supporting us out here in the rivers, staying dry and cleaning up the environment, we'd appreciate if you go support them as well, check out the link in the description. So we're 11 to 15 feet deep right here, big rocks to get up over here. And once we float the front of it, now we can just tow it onto the ramp and up and out of the water. - Fire it up and drive it away. - Here we go. Adventures with Purpose Lift bags, again, where can they get it Jared. You remember? Mr.leisek.com/LiftBags, I'll leave a link in the description below. Look, heavy duty D rings,heavy duty valves. Oh yeah, they're so pretty. 1500 pounds a piece is what these things will lift. (whistling) Shouldn't be a problem, right James? (upbeat guitar music) (water splashing) (air escaping) So took a little guess right here, the reason why you heard all that air going is because he didn't have the valve turned off. No fault of the bag, the bag is amazing. But my guess is that the motor popped out of the engine or the pulley or something. - [Nate] Just the motor. - [Jared] We called that one didn't we? - Yeah. (machine operating) - What do you think about that motor, James? - That's V8. - Is anybody gonna want that motor? - No. - Absolutely not. (laughing) - [James] Yes, it'll be easy to lift the car up now. - If we have that lousy motor out of the way, we'll have something to hook onto. - [Jared] We talked about that, by the camera, like; "Hey, our plan is let's rip the motor out and then the cars gonna be real easy." That's been our plan since this morning. - Yeah, yeah. - And most people, Jarett, don't know what hydro carbon absorbents are. They're spill pads, like specialty spill pads. The reason why we use these, is that way we can clean up the oil, so that way it doesn't get back into the environment. - I got a hold of the whole front bumper. The front crossmember on the frame possibly, it's all pretty rusty and I just got a hole in my drysuit. - From what? - Rusty piece of sharp metal. - My drysuit is still dry, so maybe I should go back down. - I'm getting out yeah. (laughing) I'm gonna be frozen in no time. - All right, I'll take us back down. Take a take down and get it floating. We bring a snow brush for the front of my mask here. (upbeat music) The goal with all this Jarett, is that we don't rip that front bumper off. If it does, we're blaming Nate. Oh yeah, the front is coming up. It's coming up. And yeah. Yeah. If we're lucky, that things gonna pull apart, we gonna this on the ramp in a few minutes. I'm gonna take this completely off and hope that this is actually coming out now, I don't have to get back in. Okay. - That's a pretty bold move there. - It is bold. The dust particles could have loaded the entire inside of it, would be dealing with 12 000 pounds. - That's about all we're gonna do without another anchor of some sort. I think just a bigger rig hook to me so in can winch a little bit harder. In case if some happen. - [Jared] Okay, yeah, let's try that. - I know I would get that to turn over, it will be ugly though. (laughing) - [Jared] It looks like we already turned it over, it's on it's top right now. (laughing) Another super dad joke. Matt, for those who don't understand what we're doing, do you wanna give like a quick explanation of why we hooking up a second truck and a chain here? - We need a anchor point to that FK Cruiser from joining the Mustang in the water. - [Nate] Broke something. - [Jared] Come on, I took all of my diving gear off already, Nate. (laughing) - It's not very deep. - [Jared] Were we attached to it, it didn't pop off. - No. - [Jared] So we might've just popped the carabiners off. - We broke the carabiners, yeah. Yeah, you just throw another chain around it. Now that it's floating, it should be easy. Floated anything. - [Jared] Right. - So because the car is so close and not that deep, Jarett and all the viewers. We're hoping that I can drop down real quick, hook this to the front bumper where we at and I shouldn't have to suit up and we can get it closer. All right, try that. I honestly don't think this is gonna work though. We're up against the rocks right now. And we're gonna break something, let's just take a bagel break and reposition these bags. I'll tell you what I appreciate, Jarett. I appreciate you coming out volunteering today. Matt Moss here, who has donated this trailer as well, so that's why I'm able to hall all of my gear in now as well. Dave Mack, who is also a gear sponsor. On the membership, there's a join button in the link description below. Here's sponsors like Dave Mack who would really appreciate it, so that way we can cover our fuel expenses, our lodging, a few other expenses that go into this, gear and everything else. Also Nate, other dive buddies have come out. We could not be doing this without all the volunteers, tow truck company will be here later on. So everybody is involved, I really appreciate, this has really become a little movement. We other divers across the US, are now purchasing Lift bags, they're getting into rivers and lakes, removing moving vehicles. - We appreciate you doing this in the first place, I'm happy to come out here and help. - Thank you Dave. I really appreciate that. Sam, don't cut that part. - Yeah, Sam. - Dave is gonna be really upset. Whatever you caught last time, this is like a week or two later and he's still hounding me because of whatever you cut out that he said in the last feed. - It's not your fault. (laughing) - Now that our bellies are full, just to give you a quick update as to where we at in this entire process, the car itself, only out here a couple of feet, but the issue we have is, we have the car with the float bags on there, but it's bumping into it as we pulling with the winch. We're never gonna be able to plow through those rocks. So I'm gonna go down right now, attached to a front wheel, with a another bag and a chain. Get as low as I can. See if I can get it floating even more to pop the car up and over those rocks, that we can finish, pulling it up and over and out. Wish us luck. Chain in hand. Carabiner in hand. Follow the line down, that way I can find it. (laughing) That was a joke by the way, look it's right here, I can take it. All right. I'm under water. Let's do this, go. throwing on the chain? Around the passenger the tire here. I think it's stuck. I think we broke it. The carabiners broken, that's what's going on. Let's go grab another one. Hey, the carabiners broken, I need another carabiner. All right, so we'll try this again. Nice low attachment point. That way we can get the bag floating as low as possible. Let's float this side of the car up as high as possible. We're going to go get a bag. Good to go. It's time to turn on. We're inflating the bag. Don't break, lift and don't break. Let's see what the front of this is. Oh yeah that's a mark. We're up on those rocks now. I think we might be good to go. Coming on up. (machine operating) What I can do is, I can move this right bag that never inflated all the way down to the drivers side. I can move that to the back if we need to. (soft piano music) All right, go ahead. Just throw another bag on. Grab another tank from the trailer. It's sitting right about a... I'd probably be on a 45 probably sitting about a 60 degree angle right now. I think we bring the back of the car up, then we gonna be able to bring that whole thing right on in. (soft piano music) So here's the situation. We cannot get a chain around any of those back wheels. They are right up against the hillside there. We just have to yank this out here at this point. Yeah, try this, if not then we gotta get the recovery truck. (machine operating) - Something there. - Oh bent, yeah, that's no longer a J. I think we pulled the front bumper off. Now how we're gonna get it out of here? The good news is, the front is still floating. Just call Elite in at this point? So the way that we do this, we go like that. This. This. This. And then we go like this. (ringing) We're ready, if you wanna send the truck down for us. - [Doug] Will do. - All right, cool, thanks. If this is your first time here. That is Doug, with Elite Towing. Who they donate their time and their services to come out here free of charge to help volunteer as everybody else is also volunteering their time to pull cars out of the river and clean up the environment. Thank you Doug and Elite Towing. If you're anywhere in the Portland Metro area, be sure to use the discount code, YOUTUBE, with this phone number for Elite Towing, because they will come out to you, give you a special discounted rate, plus another 10% off of that. Before we couldn't get a chain around the back tire, so that we could float it, but now that we've moved it a foot or two further. We now might be able to get round one of those back tires, if we can then we can float it, so that way it's gonna be easier to drag it outta here. Well, that's really a bummer. All right, we'll let the Elite get it. Yeah, we cannot get into these back tires still. Hey, welcome back. Good to see you again. Doug here, has really made a lot of good things happen for us. - This would be 26. - 26. Number 26 is going to be Mustang. All we know is, we're cleaning up the environment, even though we're ripping these out here and spilling a little bit of oil and a little bit of gas in here. It's still better for the environment in the long run, because if we didn't get these out of here eventually everything is going to rust out, open up and everything will spill into the environment. And that's why we wanna get them out, is because those oil pans that have not rusted out yet, eventually they will and that's why everything is gonna end up in the environment. So those that have been saying. (mumbling) Listen, we're know what we're doing. - You know none of that goes in ever. - Oh all of that's going in. Sam, put all of that in there. (laughing) Those V8's really get up go, don't they. I have an aunt that makes a Kombucha. (laughing) Okay, that does stink a little bit. - [Tatum] I told you, now go take a bath. - Thanks, Nate. - No problem. - [Jared] I've got more strap too. - Yeah, let's do that. - Jared Get you to the top. - Drive the truck forward, slowly. (truck revving) - The fenders are smashing against the wheels. The wheels are also against rocks at the back and because of the back strings are compressed, so I'm having a hard time getting anything around the back there. If I can get something around there, we can get a bag on it, we can get it floating. It's fully inflated, the back of it is now kind of up a little bit. Let's see if that's enough to move ya. (machine operating) Yeah, there you go. Oh, there's part of it, do you see that James? - [James] Yeah. - [Jared] Never quit, never give up. Can do. All right, there you go. It's moving. (machine operating) I think we have more mud in this than we did the Buick. - No way. - [Jared] Oh yeah, it's packed. - Really? - [Jared] Oh yeah. - There's so much mud in here, we gotta get the mud out. - [Jared] So there's a reason why we didn't pop the windows or open doors before, is because we didn't know if anything was inside. Or anybody. - [Jared] You're so close Tatum. - [Tatum] I know. - [Jared] Did you try the handle? - Yeah, that didn't work. - Or is it better if we just kinda. (metal banging) - [Tatum] Jared do you need me to do that one? - Supposedly, you just go like this. You push. Oh, there we go. The good news is, we don't see a skull yet. (machine operating) (metal banging) - [Jared] Appreciate you Tatum. - You know I'm the brains of the operation not the brauns of it. - [Jared] Yeah. (laughing) All right. - He still got a shovel there. - He's gonna need a new handle. (machine operating) - [Tatum] The jay head broke. - The problem is, it's just too heavy. - It is official, there are no skeleton remains in here. (machine operating) - It's not gonna work. - Our biggest problem is this rock right here. Let me go see if Doug has a plan for tomorrow, if not we need create our own plan. - The plan is lift the rear end of it up. - With? - With the bed of the truck. - Okay. - And we'll have to get a chain around it and pull it out. - All right. - We calling Tualatin Police Department. Hey, we're down here at the Tualatin River boat ramp. We are in the process of recovering a vehicle out of the river, so we just wanted to notify you guys that there is a vehicle sort of half way on the ramp, stuck, that's being recovered. - On that note. We'll be back tomorrow. - Coronavirus. (laughing) - I'm gloved up, so it doesn't matter for the Coronavirus. (upbeat music) We had the police that stopped by last night to check out the Mach One down at the end of the ramp. They definitely didn't want the responsibility of them pulling it out. So the good news is we have a game plan today. - We got Doug with Elite Towing is back. He's even got the big bad boy truck today. Are we using that one today? - We're gonna use that one to lift it. - [Jared] All right, awesome. That should be up, out an done in 22 minutes, right? - 21. - You gonna wanna subscribe if you not already done so, because then Nate and I, we actually have Mark Lee coming as well. We're gonna get into the water for a Chevy Silverado today. - All right. - So you never know what is we're gonna get, you're not gonna wanna miss it. (machine operating) - [Doug] I'm hoping we can grab that axle and pull it out. (laughing) This chain right here can just wrap around the pumpkin, that's all we need. - Okay. - [Doug] Don't even worry about it, it's fine. - I think we got to dead set. - [Doug] Okay, perfect. We'll get it. Hopefully, as along as that rear end stays on there, we can get it. - [Jared] All right. Be sure to check out these guys, 'cause look what they're going through for us. So the least you can do is help them out. Really appreciate it. - At least I want a recovery, Portland Oregon. - There good people, give them a call. - Go, come on, go, go, go. I speak with O'Three this morning, John. - [John] Yeah. They're telling me a little more about this suit they made for me. - [John] Oh yeah? Please do tell. - The bottom of it is like a hybrid. Like a really heavy duty material. Because they see I'm down doing stuff like this all the time. All right, that's gonna save you a good four, 500 pounds. (laughing) - [Jared] Doug. You did it. - You did it man. - [Jared] Appreciate it. - Whoa. - [James] Yo, slippy slide. - And regardless of falling down, we still continue to get the shot. Let's continue to spread the word, so if you are a tow company anywhere in the US, you know where some cars are and you don't mind volunteering your services, like Doug and Elite Towing here, drop me a comment in email, let me know, we just might set up a trip and come visit you and meet up with some other divers who are also getting into this game, purchasing Lift bags from us. And we're doing something good for the environment for generations to come. - Yep. We're exhausted, we're beat. We did it, Doug did it, Alex did it. - I helped all day yesterday. - We appreciate you guys watching. If you're not already subscribed, be sure to do so and we will see you next one, when we get a Silverado, a Snow Cat later on this year, maybe a helicopter, you never know what it is we're gonna get ourselves into. We'll see you next time. Later, later, bye bye. (upbeat music)
