I love Rhett, "Not too many people know about it, and once you know about it you don't want to go back down there again." That was a little foreshadowing of the events of the day. I was seriously worried about Matt's health there for a bit, and sure glad Tom Tom and the Banana were OK. The Porsche was seriously not impressed by. The Bronco was incredible. Glad to see Kaulin come to the resuce. The best comment of the entire day was when Jaymie said to Rhett, what's our strategy going to be? and Rhett's reply, "I'm just going to floor it." What an awesome job, well done team. Amazing entertainment. Thank you for taking us along. Amazing camera work.

Well the tenacity of you all is commendable! Got stuck one time something similar. It was out at the Salton Sea crossing what appeared to be a dry lake. Got about 50' into it and sank up to the frame. It was about a 100° and the ground was thick clay with a crusty salt layer. Between the heat, salt and time spent trying to get out we were all really having a Jesus moment. The nasty clay sucked up everything we had trying to get traction never to be seen again. The closest anything was about 15 miles. There was nothing to anchor to. Needless to say, important lessons were learned that day.

@b22091 9 ай бұрын

@wildwheelsdarin I disagree with the idea they were in danger. If I heard them correctly they were about 2 miles from restaurants, stores, and their own garage. They had cell phones that worked, and the only person who seemed physically distressed was Matt, who looked like he was close to collapse from heat stroke after all the running up and down that very steep, and sandy hill. I will say he was right when he blamed hubris for taking everything down there with no plan B, but that's part of life. Leaders are seldom "perfect". I do think this was a wonderful example of leader who made an error, and when he realized it, owned it and stated frequently that it was his fault, instead of blaming others, the vehicles, etc. He then worked harder than anyone to get them out. I also think how the group reacted says a lot about the type of person he is. Rather than blaming him, whining, and expecting someone else to fix things, he has the loyalty and friendship of his wife, his kids, his employees, and his best friend, who all helped and contributed to an ultimately successful outcome for everybody, They are all a very admirable group of people.

I agree. It's one of the things I love about this channel. Lots of comments complaining that he puts people in danger, but deep down he knows his equipment and what might fail, he knows the heat, he knows this sand trap, and I'm sure he was prepared to make a call if there was any real emergency. But, it wasn't so planned out that it was too easy, and obviously not staged like so many other channels do.

I don't remember hearing them talk about diff lockers on those, but it's true that looking at the video, they appear to have them. EDIT: Ok after some research: it appears that both diff lockers are limited slip on the Morrvair (Detroit style in the front, not sure about the exact style in the back). So there's no way to fully automatically lock them unlike in the Bronco.
