I'm so glad you point out the necessity of checking not only your load straps and chains but also your vehicle condition during the trip. So many people don't have the commonsense to think this way. ❤️👍🇺🇲

Score man! That could have cost you a bundle to get those parts or even just to get the steel to make them would have been several thousand dollars! I bet Dave was happy that you were able to find all those chains, and the Yankum rope! I bet that was a thousand dollar rope!

Given the places Heavy D goes on the regular, I feel they should probably need to have a couple of satellite phones.

Nice tidy up. Shame so few people do clean up after themselves. More people should also re-check load security once some bumping around has helped things settle

You crack me up when you do your commentary to your videos. I am also glad that you check, double check and triple check your equipment every time you stop or change surfaces. You never know what your going to lose and cause an accident without even knowing.

Alan, I laughed at the end asking people not to hit dislike and just move on. All your videos are really fun to watch and you have a great outlook on life and a good sense of adventure. I'd be surprised if anyone hit dislike on any of your videos. I'm looking forward to more videos on the build of your fortress!
