Pete,
Thanks,
I`m glad someone was able to get some use out of it. If you go on to "My first carrier" in this forum, at reply #15. I have included a few of the pictures of when my carrier was pulled out. A tractor, and a truck with a tilt trailer, with a winch. It went sooth and quick. My friend Pete did the organising. I did the paying!
Doug

hey doug i checked out your recovery, a little nicer than what ive got myself into but good to see the process. my friend and i both work for a mobile crane company, he is and operator and I am a licensed crane/truck mechanic. we half the access of a float trailer and a truck to haul it. and the means to get everything out now. now we just have to find the time.
will post pics and video when the time comes. i still have to get the pics for the carrier as it sits right now.

thanks Pete

Well the snow has hit here in Cardiff/Bancroft area and most likely be the same for the Haliburton area as well. We got about 3-4" yesterday and last night and it's been comming down quite heavy tonight as I type this, and I just checked outside and looks like another 3 to 5" has fallen up till now and supposed to snow all night

hey can you get a bed truck in there? you guys must have a trucking company that has one out there? we used one to pull a 70 chevelle out of a swamp and it was in the swamp for 20 years(still had some good parts left). we just attached the winch cables to the bumper mounts and let her rip. i dont know how heavy a carrier with mud is going to way, but it cant be more than a mud shack. being alberta there is alot of trucks from the oilfield around that can get into places alot of haulers cant get into.

There is no way a flat bed of any kind that would make it down the trail. its a glorified goat path. we will be using a small bulldozer to clear the path. trust me if i could fit and find a c550 kenworth like the one in the video down the trail i would, but is has 2 hills along the path that are questionalble about getting over in the snow. if you are worried about the windows in a pick up then this is not the trail for driving. now there is 4 feet of snow the trip should be way more interesting

Default Always recover in the rain

Here is a link to a youtube set that covers some of the recoveries one of the guys in our group has done. http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...=&aq=3&oq=cckw or go to http://www.youtube.com and search cckw rescue.

Don't know why but it seems that Steve always goes out recovering vehicles in the rain. Silly boy every body knows its more fun in the snow.

Cheers Phil
