Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery - Framed out Sequoia on the cliff edge!

Рет қаралды 81,625

3 жыл бұрын

July 31st a volunteer team from Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery was dispatched to Gordon Gulch just south of Ward, Colorado to get a Toyota Sequoia that got too close to the washout edge and got high centered when the edge gave way.
We used my Orange jeep with a 2:1 tethered to the back frame rails with transit clusters on a strap, and the white jeep was redirected off a tree from the driver side to prevent the front end from sliding into the washout and potentially rolling the vehicle.
While it looked scary, the rigging was relatively simple and the pulling went quite smooth once that initial mire factor finally broke free. The first 12 inches of a pull like this is usually the hardest. We had to chalk my tires to prevent me from pulling downhill.
Another smooth and safe operation completed by Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery!

Great clip as always Justin. One question though. On the connection to the front of the stuck vehicle , I note there was a thimble, hook, shackle & soft shackle. I believe you could reduce the amount of potential shrapnel by connecting the winch rope thimble directly to the soft shackle. Would be interested in your view. Regards Nick

@JustinKingOffroad 3 жыл бұрын

That is indeed a rigging option, however if for some reason things slacked up or bounced real hard doing it this way prevented tearing of the soft shackle with the hook. Those soft shackles are rated to 50,000 or so.

Justin King Many of us have looked into it but passed due to the safety issues with their curriculum. And the type of training I’ve been through over the last 2 decades is extensive and not available to the public. This was the first video I’ve watched of yours. You have way too many mechanical connections. Sometimes it’s necessary but most of the D rings in this video weren’t and the X wasn’t needed either. A basic double line back to the bumper would be more than enough. No disrespect intended and I didn’t realize you were doing this as a business until after I commented. I’m sure you won’t claim to know everything about winching and would agree that less mechanical connections could have been used in this specific pull. Great video otherwise 👍🏻

@@whatwouldjasondo2883 the trainer makes all the difference. It's not a business, this is an all volunteer group, state recognized sar team, and yes we had extra items in the rigging, but I needed to be on my last wrap and couldn't back up further for the angle I needed with the equipment I had on hand. There's no offense, and I am not trying to be a smart ass. It was a legit question and I appreciate your legit answer. Some day I'd say try it out, it REALLY opened my eyes up to safe recovery practice. At no point in time did we exceed the ratings of any of the rigging, but we were close to maxed out on the transit clusters. Each of those was good to 4,700, so I figured I put close to 9,500 total (shared between them) to break that initial bond with the ground. Thanks for watching!!

Fortunately he had enough down travel in his suspension that he didn't roll over, but it could have been bad. What would you have done if you didn't have that to tie off to?

@@JustinKingOffroad Why not have your winch on front, his pulling rearward?

@JustinKingOffroad 3 жыл бұрын

Because the drop off was on the passenger side, where the other Jeep was. No matter what lines had to cross.

Why do you use so many unnecessary shackles. An extra soft shackle at the snatch block. An extra d ring on the front bumper. It’s safer to use the least amount of connections when rigging.

@JustinKingOffroad 3 жыл бұрын

That equipment owner wanted to protect the soft shackles a bit if the line slacked off, yes it was extra but ok as we calcd the loads and was well within the equipment ratings.

I don't understand how he got both passenger tires off the edge. Either he was going at a good clip or he did something stupid once one tire went over the edge. Had I done that in my jeep, I would have needed a whole lot of body work done. Lucky he was in a low rider.

It was dark when they drove down there and the edge gave way

@TheLittlered1961 3 жыл бұрын

@@JustinKingOffroad Ok, I opened mouth before engaging brain. I had read that it was dark. Re-watching the video I saw that the edge did give way. At least on the front tire. Still, piss poor driving. I have driven roads where the edge is hidden by brush. I so hang to the drivers side so stuff like this does not happen. If I did not I maybe dead today. 2000' drop offs. Little video, at the end you can see my Jeep. Please notice how everyone hangs to driver side. BTW, the scrub brush has grown up far more than in this video, leads to good pin striping, LOL. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8WAhNmkpt2VYWQ.html

That was painful to watch why didn't you you single line between the the trees and the stricken vehicle of a snatch block infront and Winch him forwards.. Also so what is the giant aluminium block doing in the middle of your winch line

@JustinKingOffroad 3 жыл бұрын

the vehicle needed to come uphill to egress to the highway, so instead of winch forward into another obstacle we'd have to winch up again, we went backwards. that x-lock i just covered in another video. i needed my winch line on the last wrap of the drum, and that shortens it.
