#### The Art of Team Planning: Compatibility and Chemistry
Planning an event like the off-road recovery games requires careful thought, especially when it comes to team formation. The process is likened to planning a wedding party, where compatibility and chemistry are key. Each team member must work well together, much like guests at a table sharing stories and ideas.
For day one of the games, teams were carefully selected based on their strengths and personalities:
1. **Matt's Offer Recovery & Donut Media**: This team combines expertise in recovery with storytelling through media. Caitlyn from Matts Offroad Recovery is paired with a lucky fan who won the chance to compete, making this a team to watch.
2. **Robbie Leon Nation & Weston Chaplain**: Known for his "milkman" persona and meticulous project management, Robbie teams up with Weston Chaplain, a seasoned professional. Their dynamic promises to be both fun and effective.
3. **Eric from BSF & Todd from Project Farm**: Eric, often referred to as the "goat of YouTube off-road recovery," pairs his skills with Todd's mechanical expertise. This combination is expected to bring out their best—and worst—moments.
4. **PEC Brothers & Shan from Bikes and Beards**: The PEC Brothers, known for their fun and adventurous approach, team up with Shan. Their partnership is set to be a highlight of the event.
5. **Lightbright & [To Be Determined]**: Lightbright's team is yet to be finalized due to a member's personal issues. They are currently seeking a replacement, but their determination remains unshaken.
6. **Bent Offroad & Brent from Ghost Town Living**: Bent Offroad brings their expertise in recovery equipment, paired with Brent's knowledge of the local terrain. This duo is a force to be reckoned with.
For day two, teams are equally impressive:
1. **[O'Reilly Auto Parts Team]**: A manager from O'Reilly Auto Parts joins forces with an unknown staff member. Their chemistry and skills will be tested in the rugged off-road conditions.
2. **Caitlyn & Kindle Gray**: Caitlyn's experience meets Kindle Gray's youthful energy, creating a dynamic duo ready for adventure.
3. **Rory Irish Trail Master & Laura Farms**: Rory's expertise in trails pairs perfectly with Laura Farms' mechanical know-how. Their team is a match made in recovery heaven.
4. **Marvin from Flex Rocks & Devon from Legal Eagle**: Marvin's laid-back approach clashes with Devon's strict adherence to safety protocols, making their partnership both interesting and effective.
5. **Nate from Dirt Lifestyle & Scott from Driver 61**: Nate's cautious nature contrasts with Scott's boldness, promising a thrilling ride.
6. **Holly from Mischief Maker TV & Dan Markham**: Holly's creativity meets Dan's technical expertise, creating a unique combination of skills.
The event culminates in a final showdown on day three, where the best teams from days one and two face off. The winner takes home glory, while all participants receive participation trophies—a testament to their effort and spirit.

#### The Recovery Process: Precision and Skill
Recovery operations are no small feat. Each job requires precision, teamwork, and a deep understanding of the terrain. One such operation involved extracting a vehicle from a ditch filled with mud. The team hooked up to the lower AR and transmission cross-member, carefully applying pressure to free the vehicle.
Another challenge was recovering a car with a dead battery and no fuel. Using plastic or brake lines for recovery, the team demonstrated their expertise in towing school techniques. Each step was methodical, ensuring the vehicle was freed without damage.
The process often involves navigating treacherous slopes and mud-filled trails. Drivers must be skilled, and passengers must remain calm to avoid adding to the chaos. Whether it's a car or a truck, recovery is about adapting to each situation.

#### The Off-Road Games: Excitement and Strategy
The off-road games promise excitement with teams like Lightbright and others competing in various challenges. The event tests not only their skills but also their ability to work together under pressure.
From team formations to recovery operations, the world of off-road recovery is a blend of strategy and adventure. Each participant brings their unique skills to the table, making every challenge a new learning experience.
As the games approach, the anticipation grows. Will the teams rise to the occasion? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: this event will be unforgettable.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enkeep going so we got a call for a van that is stuck in the mud up on Smith's Mesa I think it's just on Lower Smiths we're not going to have to go all the way to the top we're going to head up there and see if we can get it out we got Ed here the weather yeah nice day today no clouds no wind much met find them we get them out thanks for watching it's the weekend so we got the weekend crew I'm here and I'm here that's Thing One and Thing Two I guess we got the hair for it but first we need fuel cuz we are almost out so this job came in yesterday and we've

going to be doing one of them in a couple days it's a a snow job up by Richville they just kind of all came at once how mudy do you think is going to be up there I'm going to say it's a little dried out I think we're going to get some sticky stuff though I think it's it's going to be sloppy the good thing about this it gets really sloppy muddy but it dries out really quick it's got really good drainage I'm just hoping it's that way so on this mountain there's a gnarly mountain bike trail it's called King Kong and then you got flying monkey I think there gnarly it'll make a full grown man cry all right this is where we go from pavement oh they got a bunch of cinders on this well yeah I haven't been up here since theyve done this this is a huge Improvement this road historically has been impassible by almost anything when it gets muddy and wet oh I've recovered dozens of cars off of this little stretch this one little one little stretch right here well obviously it's going to end somewhere because the picture he sent me does not look like this yeah any comments r no I'm just kind of quiet today I don't know all right looks like the end of the line for the senders let's lock Cubs in before uh before now probably could have waited it froze last night and he got out maybe so all right time to ease on into this mud oh yeah he's in the ditch we just got to get him out of there without doing any damage are we going to go backwards I have no idea we're either going to go backwards or forwards or sideways or a combination of all of the above oh my goodness that's how he went off he got got caught in some ruts looks like they've already tried to do some recovery yeah that didn't work I think I think we can go forward man he he drove he's going all along this right now this very second I am telling you the teams for the off-road games I'm really excited about these teams it was like planning a wedding party where you had to like set compatible people at tables so that they would have things to talk about so we're like putting like hey there's a nice person there's a nice person let's put them together and see if they'll fight so this is the lineup for day one

get into this thing so we're going to hook them up with somebody good the last competitor for day one is bent Offroad and we are matching them up with Brent from Ghost Town living that's going to be an awesome matchup too Benton Brent day two man it seems like the games are skewed in my favor here cuz Matt's Offroad right here is going to be teamed up with one of the managers from O'Reilly's Auto Parts we did thing with them where we were going to take one of the O'Reilly staff they picked this guy I don't even know who it is but we're going to get him through the trail might be a gal I don't

losers are a lot of losers that is a lot of losers that Mountain's going to be covered with losers the best thing about a mountain covered with losers is everyone's a winner everyone is a winner participation trophies will not be handed out to all the winners back to whatever we were doing when we broke into this all right here R jump in here and see if you can start it I'm just going to pull up right here just pull it Forward I think we're going to try to pop it out of the ditch okay put it in drive and just see if it'll go forward all right so I'm going to hook to that cross member right there and we're just going to try to pop this thing sideways out of here okay yeah I think I'm going to do something a little different than I just said gooey gooey just laid down in it it's frozen we're going to be untying this in the mud okay so we're hooked around the lower a AR and we're hooked on the transmission cross member a little ragged isn't it okay we're going to try to do this in one pop your goal is to get popped out of here not drive as far as you can that way that thing froze in there you're going to have to pull it forward it it's not moving okay we're going to put a little more spring in our step here okay there it is now we're in the yeah now we're in the juice huh kind of want to drive all the way up there to where it's frozen again to unrig all this I'm just going to get muddy that's all there is to it what are we going to do now back it up turn it around no we got to get this rope un hook how please don't bring your two wheel drive vans on this road it's not a two wheel drive friendly Road when it's wet and it's only sloppy for about an inch and then it goes hard pack it's frozen okay you drive forward we're going to go up where it's frozen to turn you around let me just do this for a second pretty sure we have some water in the Jeep yeah that's for drinking I'm just wondering if we can get you right here right here if we can get you right here and get you unhooked and you can just spin a cookie right there I think R I'm going to show you exactly what I want you to do that means I just have to copy it simple enough keep going stop hang on a second let's get this strap off the back I think if you to stayed in it you were like 1 second from your full pivot I didn't feel it okay oh they have tire chains on this and everything look at that strap I forgot about this strap I too it's pretty heavy okay you're going to have to get some speed or you're going to be stuck in a rut go okay ease off start turn back the other way now oh my goodness it's doing good all right r that was a good job awesome okay all you got to do is stay in these ruts just take it nice and easy let's not end up in a ditch that's the goal so this isn't too bad the ground is still frozen a little bit in some places made it nice to pull this out later in the day though this is just going to be a muddy buy mess we're back on the gravel tons of traction now well Ed that wasn't too bad no work out nobody got her worked out good yeah you're the only one that got muddy yeah I got a little muddy on that one yeah they didn't make it too far past the end of the senders here it was uh pretty much straight into the ditch for them so we're going to take it back to the owner in hurricane and then we're going to go do the next jump those up just a little Mark it right there lock it up all right we got this drop dropped off on to the next job as promised we are on job number two today we're headed up to the Danish Ranch Road to get some kind of a Honda or something do you have the keys do you have the keys I thought I handed them to you you didn't hand them to me okay then they're still in my pocket let's see them all right rett's got the keys we don't know the condition of the car it may be out of gas it may be disabled and broken in some other way the customer doesn't know because the person driving the car did not give them good accurate information so today we're going to learn together as you can see I've got Colin driving cuz I just don't want to Rhett's back here to help the last job Colin was the cameraman this job Rhett's going to be the cameraman you guys will be able to compare them back to back and critique them in the comments please be nice they are fragile flowers very fragile like a rose I've had a lot of complaints about my singing and I've had a couple people that have encouraged me I choose to listen to those people so since we're talking about flowers a white sports C and a pink carnation I'm all dressed up for the dance I have a terrible How does it go it's a couple hours past lunchtime so we're going to grab some grub so I know we're going to get questions about the 91 octane why did we put 91 o octane in that jug if it's for the customer's car we only run 91 octane not everything we have takes 91 but a lot of things we have do we have motorcycles and quads that take it turbocharged high performance core air engines and sandrails they take 91 so it's resistance to pre-ignition is a benefit in extremely high temperatures too when you're running engines at the the Ragged edge of too hot which happens a lot in the work that we do so we just have a rule where everything gets 91 octane no matter what except for the Diesels the Diesels do not I've had a couple of employees that have put 91 octane in my diesels before it's a sad day when that happens just checked the mapping system and we are looks like we're about 4 miles out I was really expecting much worse roads than this so I'm not 100% sure they're stuck in the mud if might just be out of gas or disabled like I said this one is a real mystery because we just don't have any information they just told us to go get it and so we're going to go get it if it's got a wheel broken off we're not prepared this is true we'd have to do something else I must say that out of all the surprises that we've had today the surprise of this road being clear and dry is by far the best I know that there's some North sloping uh areas of the road up here ahead of us they could potentially be bad so far so good wish I was napping right now it's been a really rough 24 hours unusually rough we're finally getting into a little bit more mud still not bad but it is flipping up a little bit is that the glint of a windshield of a car it's in the right place okay I think we might have found our car it's in a ditch though yep there's a car in a ditch this is bad mud my right tire was spinning so I got my right tire already ready and then I realized it was my left tire spinning are you head through this way we're going to turn around that's what I I would recommend we'll just get out of your way then or I can simply hook up please help us so is this your guys's car too then this is who we're coming to get oh so it was that car that I was trying to avoid and then someone was coming down at the same time yeah there were like four of us on here all right there you can go ahead and get back in the truck we'll just okay we don't want to be get all Mighty so it looks like it'll be a good place to turn around up there let's get look out right there calling up good there's no hooks okay can you turn your wheels all the way this way that's good this is a different kind of mud than we were in today yeah this is more clay just slowly he's up there okay here's want to give just a little bit of gas okay okay you can just let off the gas now that's pretty slick go ahead and put it in park turn your wheels all the way this way all right beautiful that's one done one down oh hey what's your dog's name Cohen Coen yeah a you're a good dog I can tell and you've had a bath recently yeah all right thank you we got the first vehicle out of the way and now we've got to work on this one so we got dead battery and it's out of fuel got it what does the gas say okay let's put some gas in it how far do we have out of here how far is this way it's closer but it's more rugged right there all right so this is a case where this car has no toey nautical hook of recovery so our options are pretty much plastic or brake lines that's pretty much it man what should we do here I'm thinking we're going to drag this wheel is what we're going to do the forces exerted on this wheel are going to be well within its designed capabilities and like this is what they teach you in Towing school like how to recover these cars you recover them by the wheels like this okay Colin you're just going to want to stay as high as possible going to pull you slow like yeah I'll beat my horn if there's a problem I think I can drive this out of here now so yeah just go up there and wait for me smooth all right here's the question that we have this way is much shorter we haven't been through it but I do know that it's more treacherous than this way but like it's we're like almost through this Trail there's I think only one more big hill climb I say this way do it much okay and if not we just turn around and go back okay all right so we've decided to go out the short way we're just going to take it easy and see if see if this old hyy Elantra has got what it takes to win the day there is one man that can drive that car out and that's my dad he is okay he's going to go for it no he's it oh oh oh he made it this guy is a rock hound well it's making it this way's not as bad as I thought it could have been it's you know it's a little bit but we're climbing the steepest hill right now it's just kind of you know a little bit messy but it's not like hardcore mud bogging got a light on the dash flashing telling me that it's slippery out there well that's good information it's accurate so right here me my dad and Tom pulled a Tacoma or something off the side drag your brakes a little bit while you're giving it some gas not much just a little I think it was right here so this is the one sketchy Hill I think my dad was worried about seems to be pretty good it's definitely wet but there's some traction dragging bottom on this snow but that's not going to hurt anything we're only a mile or so from pavement at this point and this is the worst climb and we're about to Crest it right now all right well now we got the other problem that's the downhill portion but like the uphill portion it's just kind of messy but not treacherous or too terribly extreme nothing the old hyund Entre can't handle has been handling it's basically all downhill from here and the roads have improved a lot as promised we're back on pavement we're just going to go get this dropped off then we're going to go home and get some dinner all right we got the car dropped off the customer was super happy that we got it back that Road's pretty treacherous for a little car like that but we made it we did it very good we did it with little to no effort it was great we got muddy we got dirty banana needs a wash we all need a wash so we got to do a little Wheeling we got to do a little rescuing we got to help a couple people that were in trouble and that is a good day thanks for watching so you cleaned the windows so we can see how muddy they were getting yeskeep going so we got a call for a van that is stuck in the mud up on Smith's Mesa I think it's just on Lower Smiths we're not going to have to go all the way to the top we're going to head up there and see if we can get it out we got Ed here the weather yeah nice day today no clouds no wind much met find them we get them out thanks for watching it's the weekend so we got the weekend crew I'm here and I'm here that's Thing One and Thing Two I guess we got the hair for it but first we need fuel cuz we are almost out so this job came in yesterday and we've actually got another one

second let's get this strap off the back I think if you to stayed in it you were like 1 second from your full pivot I didn't feel it okay oh they have tire chains on this and everything look at that strap I forgot about this strap I too it's pretty heavy okay you're going to have to get some speed or you're going to be stuck in a rut go okay ease off start turn back the other way now oh my goodness it's doing good all right r that was a good job awesome okay all you got to do is stay in these ruts just take it nice and easy let's not end up in a ditch that's the goal so this isn't too bad the ground is still frozen a little bit in some places made it nice to pull this out later in the day though this is just going to be a muddy buy mess we're back on the gravel tons of traction now well Ed that wasn't too bad no work out nobody got her worked out good yeah you're the only one that got muddy yeah I got a little muddy on that one yeah they didn't make it too far past the end of the senders here it was uh pretty much straight into the ditch for them so we're going to take it back to the owner in hurricane and then we're going to go do the next jump those up just a little Mark it right there lock it up all right we got this drop dropped off on to the next job as promised we are on job number two today we're headed up to the Danish Ranch Road to get some kind of a Honda or something do you have the keys do you have the keys I thought I handed them to you you didn't hand them to me okay then they're still in my pocket let's see them all right rett's got the keys we don't know the condition of the car it may be out of gas it may be disabled and broken in some other way the customer doesn't know because the person driving the car did not give them good accurate information so today we're going to learn together as you can see I've got Colin driving cuz I just don't want to Rhett's back here to help the last job Colin was the cameraman this job Rhett's going to be the cameraman you guys will be able to compare them back to back and critique them in the comments please be nice they are fragile flowers very fragile like a rose I've had a lot of complaints about my singing and I've had a couple people that have encouraged me I choose to listen to those people so since we're talking about flowers a white sports C and a pink carnation I'm all dressed up for the dance I have a terrible How does it go it's a couple hours past lunchtime so we're going to grab some grub so I know we're going to get questions about the 91 octane why did we put 91 o octane in that jug if it's for the customer's car we only run 91 octane not everything we have takes 91 but a lot of things we have do we have motorcycles and quads that take it turbocharged high performance core air engines and sandrails they take 91 so it's resistance to pre-ignition is a benefit in extremely high temperatures too when you're running engines at the the Ragged edge of too hot which happens a lot in the work that we do so we just have a rule where everything gets 91 octane no matter what except for the Diesels the Diesels do not I've had a couple of employees that have put 91 octane in my diesels before it's a sad day when that happens just checked the mapping system and we are looks like we're about 4 miles out I was really expecting much worse roads than this so I'm not 100% sure they're stuck in the mud if might just be out of gas or disabled like I said this one is a real mystery because we just don't have any information they just told us to go get it and so we're going to go get it if it's got a wheel broken off we're not prepared this is true we'd have to do something else I must say that out of all the surprises that we've had today the surprise of this road being clear and dry is by far the best I know that there's some North sloping uh areas of the road up here ahead of us they could potentially be bad so far so good wish I was napping right now it's been a really rough 24 hours unusually rough we're finally getting into a little bit more mud still not bad but it is flipping up a little bit is that the glint of a windshield of a car it's in the right place okay I think we might have found our car it's in a ditch though yep there's a car in a ditch this is bad mud my right tire was spinning so I got my right tire already ready and then I realized it was my left tire spinning are you head through this way we're going to turn around that's what I I would recommend we'll just get out of your way then or I can simply hook up please help us so is this your guys's car too then this is who we're coming to get oh so it was that car that I was trying to avoid and then someone was coming down at the same time yeah there were like four of us on here all right there you can go ahead and get back in the truck we'll just okay we don't want to be get all Mighty so it looks like it'll be a good place to turn around up there let's get look out right there calling up good there's no hooks okay can you turn your wheels all the way this way that's good this is a different kind of mud than we were in today yeah this is more clay just slowly he's up there okay here's want to give just a little bit of gas okay okay you can just let off the gas now that's pretty slick go ahead and put it in park turn your wheels all the way this way all right beautiful that's one done one down oh hey what's your dog's name Cohen Coen yeah a you're a good dog I can tell and you've had a bath recently yeah all right thank you we got the first vehicle out of the way and now we've got to work on this one so we got dead battery and it's out of fuel got it what does the gas say okay let's put some gas in it how far do we have out of here how far is this way it's closer but it's more rugged right there all right so this is a case where this car has no toey nautical hook of recovery so our options are pretty much plastic or brake lines that's pretty much it man what should we do here I'm thinking we're going to drag this wheel is what we're going to do the forces exerted on this wheel are going to be well within its designed capabilities and like this is what they teach you in Towing school like how to recover these cars you recover them by the wheels like this okay Colin you're just going to want to stay as high as possible going to pull you slow like yeah I'll beat my horn if there's a problem I think I can drive this out of here now so yeah just go up there and wait for me smooth all right here's the question that we have this way is much shorter we haven't been through it but I do know that it's more treacherous than this way but like it's we're like almost through this Trail there's I think only one more big hill climb I say this way do it much okay and if not we just turn around and go back okay all right so we've decided to go out the short way we're just going to take it easy and see if see if this old hyy Elantra has got what it takes to win the day there is one man that can drive that car out and that's my dad he is okay he's going to go for it no he's it oh oh oh he made it this guy is a rock hound well it's making it this way's not as bad as I thought it could have been it's you know it's a little bit but we're climbing the steepest hill right now it's just kind of you know a little bit messy but it's not like hardcore mud bogging got a light on the dash flashing telling me that it's slippery out there well that's good information it's accurate so right here me my dad and Tom pulled a Tacoma or something off the side drag your brakes a little bit while you're giving it some gas not much just a little I think it was right here so this is the one sketchy Hill I think my dad was worried about seems to be pretty good it's definitely wet but there's some traction dragging bottom on this snow but that's not going to hurt anything we're only a mile or so from pavement at this point and this is the worst climb and we're about to Crest it right now all right well now we got the other problem that's the downhill portion but like the uphill portion it's just kind of messy but not treacherous or too terribly extreme nothing the old hyund Entre can't handle has been handling it's basically all downhill from here and the roads have improved a lot as promised we're back on pavement we're just going to go get this dropped off then we're going to go home and get some dinner all right we got the car dropped off the customer was super happy that we got it back that Road's pretty treacherous for a little car like that but we made it we did it very good we did it with little to no effort it was great we got muddy we got dirty banana needs a wash we all need a wash so we got to do a little Wheeling we got to do a little rescuing we got to help a couple people that were in trouble and that is a good day thanks for watching so you cleaned the windows so we can see how muddy they were getting yes\n"
