**The Wheels on the Bus**

so what I'm doing here is I'm actually releasing the first footage we ever shot for Matt's towing and recovery so this is really old footage from way back in March of 2019 and then the second part of it is more recent within the last week so that's why maybe the timeline doesn't make sense maybe you don't care but here it is so we just got a call that a tour bus is stuck in a field they're having the zion half marathon today and one of the staging areas where people are parking apparently the we've had a lot of rain lately anyway this tour bus pulled out into this field that was for parking and it it can't move now yes I got dispatched on a tour bus humping virgin and I get up there and they had several attempts with pickups and not trying to get it pulled out and it just wasn't working for him so we hooked on to it pulled him out to where he was out of the mud and figured that he could um just follow me right on out on the tracks that he'd made going in on what's your plan and so I free will went out to the pavement tried talking the guy into keeping his wheels straight so that he could follow me out and for some reason he didn't understand what straight was or not to hit the brakes every time we give it a tug but anyway ended up hitting the brakes and turning the wheel and we got him stuck up in the ditch even further [Music] yeah I didn't notice I didn't notice he was steering until it was too late so then we had to regroup and try to figure out how to pull him out because it everything we had wasn't enough to get him out of the ditch going backwards so we turned around and started pulling him forwards at his wheel set right where they needed to be to come out and every time we'd start pulling the guide crank the wheels the opposite direction like you wanted to go back in the mud [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh after several attempts again of trying to get it out I asked him if we could um get one of us to drive the bus and he explained at that point that he thought we'd never ask so one of us got in there and finally pulled the bus out onto the pavement and sent him on his way but so that job is done and we did it with the equipment that we had [Music] we're heading out to the sand dunes out on the backside to pick up a razor that has been rolled on the trailer and heading out there to get it this is the first job that I'm going to be doing with the new 35 inch Patagonia so we'll see how it goes looks like we found a razor there I don't know how wounded it is but looks like it's pretty wounded [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] 30 okay hey thank you yeah no problem [Music] their girls are light [Music] so it got dark on us so we couldn't get just budget uh I'm so sorry anyway it got darker on this so the footage isn't very good [Music] so we're dropping off here Sand Hollow off-road her communities guys [Music]
