James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
Ya... they're pretty close to your home. I discovered the channel a month or three ago. Can't believe how some of these people get into some of these predicaments.

At 4:30 notice that they drop the winch loop over a hitch ball. In this case, it was a double line and the car was small. Using a ball for a single line pull can be risky. They aren't made for that kind of weight and have been known to break, throwing the top of the ball like a canon ball. The yellow rig had a pintle hook which is far stronger. Balls are especially risky if you're using an elastic recovery strap. Hitting the end of one of those can multiply the force far higher than any hitch ball.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
Watched a young a-hole engineer float his freind's parent's Nissan SUV down a mountain stream in Japan. Was showing off with a load of young women driving in gravel along the edge of the water. Got stuck, the ladies jumped out screaming and off he went. Luckily, it became lodged on a rock and bystanders were able to throw a tow strap to him and pull it out with five cars.
He and his girlfriend found a nice, quiet spot along a river one rainy night. They were gettin' it on and didn't realize the river was coming up until they had motion more like the ocean than like the house a rockin'. By the time Dad & I got there, the car had washed downriver about 50 feet where it was fortunately caught by some trees that kept it from going into the main channel. By the time a tow truck got there, the water was up to the tow driver's waist.
