This is the news story of a rescue during the storm. If you pay attention you will see Beast Off-road & Recovery
This is what happens when you choose to ignore a closed gate people…


On Thursday May 11th the big storm hit higher elevations to the west of I 25. With up to 2 feet of snow falling in locations. It was a very busy day. But in my travels that day, if I happened upon someone stuck and in need of assistance I offered it for free. This happened 10 times over the 13 hours I was out and about. Most of the individuals offered me something in return for my offer. But one of these individuals, and I’m using that word as a substitute for what I really want to call him, actually had the nerve to threaten to cut my winch rope and then proceeded to threaten to stab me. That’s not a good idea when your in a vehicle that’s 1 .. stuck, 2.. has bald tires, 3.. almost out of fuel, and 4.. your miles away from any other assistance. Needless to say, the vehicle is still where it was on Thursday…. and the occupant didn’t get removed from the mountain until around noon Friday. Do yourself a favor, if someone offers assistance, DO NOT THREATEN THEM….LOL
It has come to my attention that a couple of people have used a certain other roadside assistance provider in the area and have had bad experiences with them. This other company has taken calls and not shown up and ignored the customers calls. Leaving them sitting for hours. I’m not going to name this other company. I will guarantee this will never happen here at Beast Off-road & Recovery. I feel bad for the customers that had to wait, and apologized many times for my competition letting them down. When you call your roadside assistance provider and request assistance, they then put out a dispatch and the first to accept gets the call. This is not always the closest or the most responsible company around. But you have another choice, you may call and request that Beast Off-road & Recovery be the one to come to help, directly thru your roadside provider. I will call you directly and inform you of my ETA. And I always answer the phone. I will do everything I can to get you back on your way.

This Toyota driver found out just how tricky one of these trails can be, tire placement is everything on this one. Off camber and loose soil make this section a little sketchy. Since I’ve recovered multiple rigs from this exact spot it was a breeze. This could have gone bad in a big way if it would have slid a little farther down the hill.

Since the snow fall was minimal, I decided to go hunting for it in the mountain. Lucky for this guy I did. It would of been awhile before anyone would of found him. Lucky for him I saw tracks going in and not coming out, so I went to investigate. He was off camber between trees front and rear.

A little redirect with the winch to pull him from between the trees and set up up again from a different angle to pull him out. He was very thankful I showed up.



This morning I had another opportunity to work with Focus on the Forest , helping with an abandoned homeless camp cleanup. These pop up a lot on the mountain. Luckily this one wasn’t as bad as a lot have been. The fresh snow made it a little slick. But this spot is now clean again. We just about filled up the truck with trash.
If you would like to volunteer to help with a clean up, you can look them up online and check out any scheduled clean up dates.
