Recovering Vehicles From A Cliff That Nobody Else Will Touch (Dead Man's Curve!)

all right guys welcome back to the channel and welcome to the notorious dead man's curve a stretch of canyon road uh here in our hometown that comes around the mountain right here so basically cars come flying down right here they miss the turn and they go off like this 500 to 1000 foot cliff this ravine right here is full of old cars i'm talking cars from like the 50s all the way up to like a couple of years ago from all the way right there to all the way down there today we're gonna clean up our backyard we're gonna recover cars that nobody else has been able to recover ever and the trickiest part about this is there's really nowhere to pull from there's this little narrow road right here but it's not a great place to park your truck so anyways guys today's video is gonna be a good one it's gonna be sketchy and we're recovering not just one we're gonna pull as many cars out here today as we possibly can i'm going for four or five or six that's kind of the goal um we're gonna walk down in the ravine here in a minute show you guys exactly what's down there it's full of trash it's full of cars it's full of all sorts of stuff and you guys already know that nothing pisses me off more than people dumping junk very angry today we're gonna clean it up and give you one hell of a recovery video in the process this is escalating into a much bigger project we have like roughly six that we could see cars that need to be recovered but there's probably more we might be recovering like seven or eight cars out of this canyon today that uh launched off a cliff they've been there for a while with some cleanup in the backyard and uh originally we're just gonna take the five-ton wrecker but i think we're now gonna be taking the five-ton record of the hemet and our tow truck this is a definition of escalating quickly what is this for this is for recoveries just for recovery just so we're clear i'm not hiking these down to any mountainside well no don't say well because that's not nope that's not a real option so i just ordered a bunch of new recovery gear from uh cumberland sales company out of nashville tennessee and i may have gotten a little ambitious when it came to like the size of stuff because you guys know that we break a lot of stuff right i don't want to break more stuff i want to break less stuff and so hold on when you break a cable that's that's this big usually you're like okay i'll go to the cable this big no no no he went from this big to this big because that makes sense inch and a half cable is a lot bigger than it's a lot bigger person than it seems on paper this recovery stuff for farmington canyon yeah but i may have overdid it hey uh if the recovery stuff's too heavy for you to actually carry anywhere is it really going to be used uh no that's the best part that way i won't lose this stuff there's no way you're carrying this i don't have any guys strong enough no they're from me no hands can't pick up the little shackles let alone the whole wire are you kidding me what did you think you were covering the titanic oh no man i didn't i just saw big numbers and i kept on i kept on going bigger i know exactly what you did you saw a cool picture with this in it and went i need that it was a catalog yeah and i'm a sucker for a good cat and then you went what's the what's the weight rating okay i'm in do you have anything off the menu that i can i can order anything bigger i know it says one inch here anything you can't say i'm in no no no hands-on management is definitely doing that right that's what this is all one piece is this for the viewers if you watch this youtube and you don't see him moving that get out get out it's unacceptable unsubscribe unsubscribe hold on here we go i'm still not carrying this down no but you have to carry that one i don't know why i thought i needed so many lifting slings why you needed such big lifting these are huge ones you've never seen a chain that size no no that one's manageable but that is unacceptable if you bought that and i want a refund on your card by tonight for the hat but can you drag it across the parking oh my gosh i didn't even see this one are you kidding me that i thought that's what you're talking about [Music] no no this box is manageable this box was a good call the rest of this i'm embarrassed are you kidding me right now those are huge what's the weight rating on those oh like a couple of bountifuls [Laughter] that's how you got the keys 8487 yeah what's your zip code i'll see if i can lift you there's no video that i want to see you using this because if there is there's a bigger problem i'm done i'm done if i'm using that i've started a cult and i've got momentum at that point you have your own hands i don't think we need any of this today no you absolutely do it's what warranted him buying this because i get broken i get broken ropes but how many chains have you broke you've never broken like five or six chains a day oh okay yeah oh i feel better about this whole conversation then okay i see that that's a beefcake completely different conversation and what do we have here one that's just a little bit bigger what do we have over here do you even have that size here bro no no no no totally warranted now i i retract my statement i'm glad you do yeah now i see why you were like where can we find something back to the cables let's talk about no no that he went too hard but but but if this if that breaks your only other option is the cable so i listen i stand behind him if that breaks that's that's going to snake the better your toolbox the better your truck oh yeah but if that breaks you have way more issues than the better that breaks yeah right i bet i can't pick that up bro oh man can anybody move that across parking lot by themselves no i'm sure i can what does someone get if they do they can go through it and that'd be great let that boy give it a shot let me have it i'll re-break my hand all right so what else do we need to grab we need to grab oh they're gonna have my truck you're loading without scratching your truck you can't you don't even have anything to recover that is this big not yet we found the core of the earth and we are using the the cables we've got atlantis we're bringing the whole city back up there you go all right coming with us dub come on you got my day pack packing up got my energy drinks my waters my snacks i got all the chains i have to load all the chains you were here come on of course come on davis are you coming with us are you subscribed are you coming on this magical journey to farm decaying to pull out wreckages from the depths of hell with the diesel brothers today how are you because you should be first class baby all right well did you ask time for me to leave i found you too [Music] [Applause] so [Applause] all right guys we're about to go down into the belly of the beast here uh this is like the canyon that leads into dead man's curve right over there so the curve where everybody flies off is right there and they go down in there and as you can see we've got cars already starting here we got a little truck and then what's left of something's old car right there so we're gonna walk down the ravine and spot out how many different pieces of junk and vehicles are down there because the goal today is to clean clean clean like leave this as clean as possible uh i'm thinking that we'll leave here with at least four cars or what's left of four cars there's not much left of them but i haven't been down inside these trees in the ravine here so i don't know what to expect there could be a bunch more stuff in there some of the biggest obstacles we have today are um this is a really difficult area to recover from this is like literally the only flat spot up here other than the road and this is not flat this is rough so these cars right here are going to be recovered by pulling the five ton probably right there the tricky part is when we get further down the canyon and we have to start pulling from up there there's no flat spots it's all just narrow road and we can't block the road so we're gonna go down in the trees and see uh what kind of treasures we can find and then come back up and make a game plan to pull them out boys ready here's a great intro spot what's this why would you do that what is that how did you find a beach ball full of sand not very many days that make me want to put on a pair of jeans all right we found ourselves another victim this one's definitely an oldie old what is this 70s nova or something kind of looks like it huh oh see another one down there too this is this is like so where we're at right now is getting into kind of like the belly of dead man's curve where like the apex of the turn would be right above us which is why we're gonna start seeing more and more of these this will be cool if we get out that one looks like it's pretty buried though i actually thought the same thing we're not gonna have we're gonna just rip through tie points love it when you talk dirty dude what do we got hunter oh here's some more another car so uh for those of you who wonder why we don't like vehicles in water or in creeks and stuff like that this right here all that is not good oil chemicals different things seeping from the vehicles over different years right there in the bottom of the creek which ultimately goes into our watershed here in our backyard which is not cool my kids playing or drinking that i think we found the homeless camp did you did you though i don't know if you did what are the odds of us finding the body handsome this one's got luckily it's upside down so we can get access to some tie points although it's got a lot of these old frames i know like they don't even run through the whole car they're just here do we find ourselves an old chevy so these are the ones that most people can see from like the road because they're like on a little bit of a hillside out of the trees but so far we've got one two three four five six and we have to somehow get them up there that is that is one hell of a pull it's so much steeper from down here somebody's old short bed chevy dang i don't think we realize how much these weights huh i don't think we have any idea how much with all the rocks and stuff in them oh yeah they are definitely heavy like that's a ton this is sitting right there a ton that's one rock that's not a 2000 pound rock i'll tell you that right now that's a maybe 578 pound rock i can't even tell what that is anymore first of all i want to say mazda but now it looks like a suv a beefy frame wow that's crazy in fact we can spun that frame all the way out of there there's two cats yep he's right here hunter what do you got number seven number seven you would find this one because it's the most ass backwards complicated one here does it have a trailer oh my hands are good that's it there's so much garbage down here like it's one thing to be a rolled car i get it like accidents happen but to see tvs and washing machines and ovens pisses me off and you already know that chasing waterfalls we're climbing up the waterfall okay just made it to the top of our first uh scout hike that was exhausting look at this thing how's your heart murmur it's incredible how hard this is well it's only steep but it's loose got guys just scrambling their way up dave's over there old uh davis is doing this with a camera which is really impressive bad boy i think just quit so one of the reasons why these cars never been recovered before is because of this it's a lot of hiking just to run cables back and forth before you can even start trying to winch the vehicle so it's uh this could be a challenge up there this dead man's curve this is where the cars shoot off everywhere from here to that area which is where we just were down that ravine seeing what we see probably i lost count like 15 different vehicles which is incredible um and we're excited to get cleaned up i don't know how many we're going to get out are we excited i mean i'm excited are you excited we gotta we gotta do it strategically that's true hey guy hey guy you made it find yourself a trailer [Music] so [Music] all right vehicle number one should be the easiest one i'll knock on wood but i think it should come up fairly easy uh from here the trickier part is gonna be figuring out what to load it on i'm gonna use the crane not too bad though they're definitely gonna be quicker than the ones that are very way deep down [Music] he's moving vehicle number one is just about to the top something happened like hit a rock or something and start removing the entire five tub which is what we don't want to have happen so once we get to some of these further ones that are further down the canyon they're stuck worse there's a good chance we have to anchor the five pounds of the helmet and here we have our first victim which i still don't know what kind of truck it is look at that hunter found a full spot first try all right did we get this thing up and running again no i think someone on the youtube comments can oh shots fired [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] number two those ones were awesome those were the fun ones they were they were not sketchy [Music] two vehicles out of the ravine in about 10 minutes that's not bad [Music] my second rodeo was not that good it looked actually probably worse than my first 65 of you that are watching this right now i just the numbers are in guys 65 percent of you that are watching this are not subscribed to this channel which absolutely blows my mind because it's literally one of the best things you'll ever do with your entire life and you're literally like from the time you're more of the time you die click the subscribe button probably top five moments your life so i would do it [Applause] that's your favorite one thunder only happens when it's raining you know i like it makes corn corn makes whiskey whiskey makes my baby it's a little bit tipsy [Music] oh [Music] all right status update for you we've got the first two vehicles out of the ravine we used the five ton to basically crane the second car up on top of the other one on top of the rollback right there and uh he got hit with a gnarly gnarly rainstorm just out of nowhere completely drenched but uh i'm super glad that we brought all three vehicles yesterday we were talking about coming up here on this trip we're just gonna bring the you know the wrecker or what we're gonna do but i'm really glad we brought everything because we're gonna use literally every talent of every vehicle here today which is great we're also using the talented bud right now waiting for him to go get his lunch because it's going to be a longer day then i think we anticipated okay guys this is where things get interesting uh this is definitely the most dangerous part of the job here today um we are at the top of this uh dead man's curve you can see the road comes up around here and then past me there this is the turn where people fly straight off and as you can see there's the cars the big chevy truck and the other one right next to it and then that's kind of where the bulk of all the cars are so our only option right now is to either winch from basically right here which we'll have to kind of side winch we'll have to have the the wind coming out of the back of the truck and then have a pulley pulling it down the hill um big risk there is obviously having the truck go over the edge we're gonna uh we're gonna wait for dave and we might actually eat lunch first just because we're kind of at a good breaking point it's lunch time many tic tacs later spider-man 2 when he's delivering pizza he's like pizza time that's now made a resurgence really i don't know what you're talking about you've never seen spiderman too you got in 2002 you were listening to like 311 and didn't have a beard very accurate so luckily this truck has outrigger legs they're not the greatest they're old manual style and they don't provide a ton of leverage but they do provide some so we need all the help we can get right here hanging out this cliff edge so sometimes they work great other times they fall out as soon as you try to use them hey you want work for aaa i feel like i already work for aaa some days here right now hunter how do you feel about to go into the great beyond good i love the great beyond can i pull it off myself i like a little bit of resistance i can hold you back no more i know it's true every time i feel what's [Applause] [Applause] [Music] again [Music] magical i knew magical [Music] i don't know together still falling down [Music] magical you see that hunter started raining what'd they do he ran for the hill we have a so we're gonna do a quick meeting group meeting just to make sure safety and everything is on track and that you know we're gonna do a quick status update and then everything that we need to do we need to do inside the range right now because there's a bunch of stuff we got to do up here yeah has nothing to do with the rainfall oh and the lightning hunter and dave know that there's a storm coming really flash flooded back to nebraska what did they expect it's not like they are hooked up yet tell them to hop in the nobel real quick i think we're almost done with our meeting yeah that's how i think we can increase sales q4 should be a good one thanks for the presentation yeah it was all in english this time yeah we got plenty of slack truck didn't move back down the hill that's what we needed so we'll figure something else out man it's a good rain right there look at those water droplets some big water droplets oh man my lens is getting all fogged up they're ready to pull on up the hill they're ready to pull five thousand hunter and i already played the rock dodger 5000 go ahead got movement out of one here comes number two survey says very deep in there it's very deep she might be doing a front flip did you not put two chains [Applause] down back up back down [Applause] why does he hate that hook so bad why isn't that giant hook scary this one's number 27. all right get out of the way so it got bound up on that cliff then we try and hook to the front spin it around so we're at the uh the spot that i was afraid of which is the uh like sheer cliff rock faces those are basically stopping the vehicle from being able to slide up the hill to winch and since this is about the highest we can pull from uh since we don't have a crane boom to go out further without you know getting too risky we're gonna have to probably uh hook to the back of the vehicle now to kind of like swinging around the cliff rather than trying to pull it up and over so now we're taking the uh the hook off the front got on the back see what happens you wanna hook it to the front hunter so it spins around that cliff hunter thinks it'll make it over it so let's try it one more time the perfect 180 textbook just like i planned [Music] [Music] how many are in here i don't know just found another car nice fine hunter gonna be a little bit more difficult to haul out seems uh a bit more woodsy this way dead [Music] so [Applause] so [Laughter] all right we are officially done for the day we were able to get four cars pulled out the last two were serious fight they took two or three hours uh because we had to keep on resetting the winch line and it was just a little bit of a challenge but as you can see we've got the old rollback with what's left of two cars still haven't even been able to identify what those are which is kind of crazy and then we got the hemet it's got uh two other cars in it we got the five ton all loaded up so we are headed back down the canyon to the shop to unload we'll probably honestly come back up here for another round uh maybe not today obviously but soon because there's just so much junk in there and walking down that ravine and seeing all that crap in there just put me in the weirdest mood because it's like a full-blown scrap yard guys like this is our wilderness this is our mountain this is our outdoors it's not a landfill it's not somewhere to dump stuff so we're gonna continue to clean this stuff up because it seems like we might be the only ones that are willing to do it i think even some of the some of the agencies that are responsible for this area haven't figured out a way to get some of these things pulled out yet so hopefully we can continue to do it and contribute and make the place uh better more beautiful and safer because i mean there's a hiking show down there and i would not want to take my kids hiking through there it's literally like hiking through this crap here so anyways we're loaded up ready to rock and roll down the canyon [Applause] so and just like that we are successfully back at the shop we got the helmet loaded down tow truck is pulling in right now i believe and uh our work today is done where we were working was right let's see if we can zoom in on it for you see that letter on the mountain that's a letter b for bountiful that's the canyon road that goes up to the top of the mountain that's where we just were and that's probably where we'll be again working on getting some of this stuff removed because uh there's still a lot of stuff in there big shout out to hunter enzyme i got an email from him telling me about the cars i've known they were there for years but i kind of forgot about it and so he shot me an email and said hey go check it out reminded me we went down and we were able to get four cars out of there also if any of you have any vehicles that are stuck abandoned anything that's big heavy or hard to move they need help with shoot us an email info heavysparks.com it's in the description below and uh we may be able to help you it's probably only going to be like utah and surrounding states eventually we're gonna find you know where to be able to do stuff uh more across country but as of right now as you can see we got tons of trucks and equipment that not that easy to move so for now we're gonna keep it here
