[QUOTE="John M BUNMAN, post: 1769866, member: 43801"] Brian Head UT - Mountain Rescue. The wife and I had been visiting Brian Head for the day, a spectacular place if you are ever in the area. We started heading down the Mountain about 1500 to return to Base-Camp, Cedar City. We come around the corner and see a Runaway Toyota Celica, buried to the frame in the middle of the Runaway Truck Ramp? Odd, I say to myself. I see an elderly (70+) couple standing outside it. So of course I have to help them, pay it forward, karma or whatever. As I was assessing my options a couple of young fellas rode up on their ATV’s. Based on the light weight of the Toyota, I went with my Strap instead of the KE Rope, even though he was buried to the frame, it was loose pea gravel so I figured it would pop out with little resistance. I broke out my (most often used) MAXTRAX, they youngins used the MaxTrax to dig out the front tries and the nose of the vehicle. They dug under the nose enough to secure a Soft Shackle around the front axle. ( After this Rescue/Recovery I started carrying a ”J” Hook Y,with a strap, instead of chain, to use on vehicles without Recovery Points). We shoved a MaxTrax under each front tire. I instructed “Pops” to Not Stop until he was on the hardball of the shoulder. I also asked him NOT to drive over my strap. I took the slack out and applied a slow- even throttle. Just like in the movies, the MaxTrax popped him right up to the surface and he glided across the pea-gravel, over to the shoulder. He of course , Ran Over my mfing strap! Errrrrrr He offered me a Benjamin, since he was told it was going to be a $500+ tow from town. I declined, said my wife was happy we could help, me? Not happy he shortened the life of my strap by running over it….:happy160::happy175: [/QUOTE]
