I love the videos!! Excellent videography!

How do you get notified of these situations?

I'm taken back a little by those people who would drive on an icey snowy backroad in a Sprinter van!!... 4-wheel drive or not.

I've been on many snow runs with my trucks.  Even air'd down and locked up, traction loss is going to happen.

If I lived in that climate, I'd be driving a 4x4 setup for the terrain and snow.  I'd be running all synthetic oil and gear lube.

If I were doing the rescues that you are doing, I'd would have some kind of radio communications for an emergency where Emcom was possible.

Snow and subfreezing weather kills people every winter.  This one made national news for quite awhile:

They were both lucky to have lived.

If I had a young daughter (or son) they would be very well-educated on being smart and knowing survival techniques.

Today, I would not allow her to travel cross-country like that alone without an experienced adult or in a group event.

I wonder how much a "tow-truck" company would charge for your rescue?

As a good friend happened to tell me yesterday, like you... "The world is a better place because of men like you!"  :beerchug:
