For those asking how this happened: I will be taking the Ram to the dealer to examine the power steering malfunction that happened earlier in the day. This section of the trail has a wide, gradual turn, but my steering response did not feel the same. I will update the channel as I get feedback from the dealer examination. Thank you all for your support, love you all.

Glad you had your friends there to help. Soooo scary and stressful for this baby mama/wifey. Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😫😫😫

That many intelligent guys in one spot and not ONE winch safety blanket in sight! Guys stepping over tensioned cables, standing in areas of snap line potential, etc. I hope that we don't someday lose one of the popular guys we love following on KZfaq.

Nate is the recovery king, always helping out. Good job by all. Lucky to have a stand of trees in the right spot.

The trees and undergrowth often disguise just how dramatically steep some of these PNW mountains can be...and I can't imagine what going off the road here would have been like without the trees there to stop you. 😬 Glad you're okay, and nice work on the recovery!

Thank you for posting this teachable moment. Accidents happen… but y’all were prepared FIRST mentally… and then with the right equipment. Great video.

Should have used a snatch/pulley block to do the side pull instead of pulling across the chassis and bar work like that. Also agree with all the other comments regarding the winch ropes without blankets and stepping over them regardless of them being synthetic or not. With the way some of those pulls were, those rope could have broken in the middle and still flicked up into someone.

A close call indeed...the Awesome Teamwork made for nail-biting viewing... Glad all is well 👍🏻

You had some of the best people in the industry with you for this recovery. Glad you weren't hurt and that the recovery effort went so smoothly. Really great video, and hope to see you back on the road again soon!

Yay,!! Absolutely, things happen! Great team effort by everyone.

Wild. And that group of guys seems pretty phenomenal. Great group.

adventure day

Is Nate a superhero? I think the answer is: yes.

You are so calm and collected in ur videos. You are becoming my favorite overlanding channel! Thank you for the great content, and I look forward to more content to come! Stay safe!

Friends and teamwork. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Glad to see you are ok and truck didn't get to much damage. Awesome job by the group to get you out.

Ed and max together f*** yeah love it.

Glad you're ok, man! The truck looks good for what it went through. Great video!

Great recovery!!! Total teamwork. Got to love synthetic lines. The fact there is virtually no energy transferred when they snap makes it much safer to work around in these situations.

Most important thing is that you're ok and you have some great friends with an awesome story to share!

Been there like every else. Boy the Ram & the Bull bar are Tuff. Great team work one Person taking control unreal. Yes great Tracks Great Trucks & Great Friends Cheers

Great Video!

Staying safe is key and a vehicle is replaceable so glad things went well. Everyone is scared of this happening one day but being prepared clearly saved the day. A recovery alone would be 6-8k if you didn’t have help if not more.

Thanks for the recovery walkthrough. Glad you came out ok. Time for the Jeep to make some moves!

13:08 I agree, more cow bell! Also, (obviously as a arm-chair-quarterback) I much prefer the security of steel cables and shackles, but with the number of synthetic-rope lines you have, well done!

Thank goodness for all the other guys!

If i were you my heart will be breaking haha think better way more good action will come to your future over-landing glad no one get hurt and injured stay safe!

I'm glad to see that no one was hurt and the truck came out without a lot of damage. That said, there were a ton of basic recovery safety rules violated in this video. No one should be hanging out in the danger zone when the line is under load (even with synthetic rope), let alone walking over the line or touching it with ungloved hands. You've done a great job building up an audience on here. They listen to you, and that comes with some responsibility to demonstrate practices that won't get them hurt. Maybe you can reach out to Warn to do a video with them on safe recovery techniques?

Man those forest service roads sure are tough…

Yea as soon as those lines got taught I would have dampened them in case they snapped no matter what material, but glad everyone got out safe, I’m buying a couple more dampers today!!! Lol that camera guy walking near that line made me cringe so bad

Damn thats crazy! Glad everything worked out!

nice job!!!!

Man that was intense to watch. Just goes to show you how valuable it is to be with a group in case of a situation like this.

So glad that those trees were there to stop you from falling off the side of the mountain. This is a sign that Toyota wants you back in a Tundra!

That dog! I was worried him/her. 😵 Luckily, nothing happened to him/her. 🙂

Chainsaw Nate to the rescue! Where is the t-shirt? Haha. Thanks for sharing the whole deal and not just the money shot. This is how it really goes for a complex pull, and the more cowbell reference was perfect. 👍 Sorry you went over. Great set of guys.

I just got home from Iceland and what was the first channel I watched?!... Edward shin of course 😁. I'm glad we were able to get you out so easily. This is definitely a cautionary tale of why it's important to have more recovery gear than you think you need. I'm glad you are OK and we now have another great story to tell around the fire 🙌. I can't wait for the next one brother

Dud very expensive hobby "Right" I'm sure your insurance company love you brother.... I love how everyone pulled together and made it look cool instead of holes... nice job all and shin for staying come 👏 and making it happen. The Banks Family 👪

NICE teamwork🔥👍

WoW Edward so glad you're ok!!. Your friends Really know their stuff, the team work and communication was amazing, thanks for the lesson. When off road always take your time, travel with other off roaders and buy a Good winch. Tuned in for the next one 😍🚙🙏👊

God that could of been bad. So glad you are alive and well.

great team work! at least now you will be able to have a real 4x4... 😝😍😍

I actually hadn’t seen this video because I have been busy wheeling/over-landing my full-size ram 1500. As a disabled vet who builds most of his off-road accessories due to them being so stupid expensive your situation is my worst nightmare! What an awesome group of friends to have that have that much experience, tenacity, and loyalty! Please keep us all updated as to what caused the faults in your ram so that others such as myself can ensure we know what to do. I love your channel and your content, keep it up pal! I’m sure I’m not the only one to say that I’m happy to see you walk away.

Maybe the ram was telling you to go back to last generation tundra and the green wrap. Glad it wasn't that bad.

So thankful you had a good outcome and able to make it home. Good friends are priceless.

As a Aussie wheeler, you guys did a great job at the recovery well done 👏 Now that's 4wd action.

Glad you're okay dude, stuff happens!! Excited for what's next with the jeep

Great recovery and team effort

Glad you are safe Edward. The trucks damage doesn't look too bad.

Glad you are ok. It was cool to see you helping at Nate’s shop.

Oh my gosh this gives me flashback heart attack. So glad the experienced team got you out and still enjoyed a night camp. Bit of a mandatory breather to give the Jeep full attention. Take care mate.

Great bunch of friends to overland with! Nate you rock!

Great to see you’re well. That recovery was well orchestrated. Shadow will be back without issues. Looking forward to the jeeps appearance. Regards Mario.🇦🇺

Very sorry Ed, glad you are ok...could have been worse. Amazing team work, skill sets and to your point, quality recovery gear.

Awesome video. My best trips have been when shit hits the fan. Something about planning, teamwork, and getting done right. I had a 2016 f150 break the ice on a frozen river. Tires were not touching the ground due to the ice under the bumpers. One of my buddies climbed out the window and went ham on the ice with an AK. It took a while but once the truck sank to touch the floor we rammed though the rest of it. A lot of back and forth. Our feet were cold from water rushing in. Next was a jeep liberty that figured speed was the way. He lost a fender. Then was a wrangler that did it no problem but the trailer it was pulling disconnected half on ice the other in the water. We ended winching it up to river bank. Some great memories. If you never have wrecked... . You never pushed yourself hard enough. Rip 93 s10 on 38.5x 16 r15 with ford one tons.

Bruh!!! That sucks but couldve been so much worse. Proof you need to be prepared, equipped and have friends with you!

Thankful the good Lord watched over you!

Happy your ok ! Can’t wait for future videos . 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Wow you guys did great that's teamwork there

So glad that you had people to help you out what a great recovery team you had great job to you all

This is one of the most common things I see. Pulled someone out of a similar situation out near Trask a few years back. Glad you’re all safe.

Teamwork, Knowledge Bombs, and Trust in your colleagues !!! You overcame and won that scary situation

glad to see you made it out safe and happy to see shadow can take a little bit of a beating and get back up and keep on overlanding!

wow. amazing effort. lesson learned: you can never have enough friends (or recovery straps).

Wow Ed! So glad you were able to get recovered with minimal damage!! Nate, Kelly, and Maxx all know their stuff! I think Nate may have outed your next announcement on his video…lol! Can’t wait to see some Jeep adventures!!

The support and team work offered here by all your buddies is pure beauty.

Incredible. So great that you had a good crew to help with that one!

Damn,throw some blankets on those lines.

WOW you are some lucky man, having all those great people around you whom know exactly what to do in this situation and THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT ! soooooo, and now we come to my favorite car, the WRANGLER ? you gotta be kidding me haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, i can´t wait. Edward, we never get to see your girls ever again ? Hope they are doing great !!!

Just want to give a shot out to the dog just chilling there the entire time 😆. Glad you are safe my friend.

Glad we were able to get you out safely, and it didn’t ruin the whole weekend. Also glad you moved over to the Jeep side!

Omg... what an ordeal. Glad you weren't alone. Great team effort and everyone had some recovery gear. 👏

Just got home from a PNW road trip yesterday from Denver. I came across this first lookout of Rainer you showed in the video. Was an epic spot to call home for the night with my tuck camper. I also came across a Honda civic or accord the flew off the road

Nice vid. While good recovery gear is important, I wish there had been more emphasis on “the lesson learned” is to slow down to maintain sufficient visibility. This would have been a much different story if the thing that you didn’t see was an on coming vehicle instead of just a turn in the road. Adequate spacing on dusty roads is very important.

Eyes on the road at all times..

It’s always scary and stressful to get stuck in a sticky situation but I’m glad your friends were there to help out and ease any stress! Great video as always!

Ed - how TF man?!?! I cant figure out how you got into that position. So glad you had competent help brother.

I hate this happened to you Edward but glad everything worked out. On the bright side it made for great content.

Glad you’re safe brother! You definitely had the right crew around. Can’t wait to see the Rubicon!

Awe man.. great recovery. Good to see only minor scuffs. BTW, I was the dude that saw you at the airport in Maui. Keep up the vids. Always enjoy watching your stuff.

Edward, first I am glad your ok and safe. As you said that could have ended bad. Shadow held up perfectly and the crew that was with you was awesome. Congrats for getting Shadow out in one piece. Thanks for sharing a set back as it shows real life in action. Good luck with the repairs. Stay safe. Ken

Lucky no cables snapped, be a lot of headless people

I'm loving the KZfaq collab with you and Max!

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

Bro, your buddies were awesome. Glad youre ok! That dog though (panther), was chill as fak..🤣

Glad you're okay Edward! Also, good teamwork from the rest of the fellas.

Solid group 👊🏽

5:20 Hawaii time . If you use more pulleys it makes it easier on the wench . A pulley on the jeep on the road then too the tree .. just saying not hating. Great job regardless 🤙🏾

Very happy to see you're ok. Objects can be replaced but you cannot. Happy for the friends you have to help you man. Awesome video and I've been in those shoes in my jeep xj. Stay safe man.

Glad your safe!

Been waiting for this vid.

Nice job guys

Oh no. Not the rebel. So glad you made it out unscratched. Trucks can always be fixed.

There was a recall on some of the earlier trucks for a inadequately torqued ground for the electrical steering rack. Your truck may be one of the affected trucks. I’ve had two 2019 Ram 1500s, unfortunately wrecked the first one. Absolutely awesome trucks! I’ve had three other Rams with almost no issues whatsoever. Broken exhaust bolts was my only issue over 600k miles driven in Rams.

Glad to see you made it out of that and the truck has minimal repairable damage.

Good thing you have good buddies 🤙🏽

I'm glad you or your truck wasn't hurt!

Other than the headlight, your truck looks ready to go, the rest can be fixed later. Cant wait to see the Jeep.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Good to see everyone is ok. Recovery gear is very important. Something I’ll be investing in. Next episode new Overland rig build …
