Default Blue Ridge, South Carolina

These pictures and videos were taken in the Upstate of South Carolina, After I pulled the jeep out I experienced massive power failure, and sadly the jeep had to tow me back home

The sound at 8 seconds did not sound good... Did they put the jeep in reverse or keep it in park when you towed it?

It was in reverse, i think the sound you are hearing is the chain tightening

At least he owed you.

Get a real recovery strap. Vehicle damage, or worse, is just waiting to happen using a chain like that.
Why was the person shooting the video in the second one lying down?

Farmers, ranchers, and sportsmen have been using real chains for a whole lot of years before these fancy modern tow straps were invented. They work just fine.

Default Chain

Yeah I have never had any problems using a chain before, it gets the job done which is all I care about.

Default Where

This is in a community called Blue Ridge, about 10 minutes from Glassy mountain. Just google map red turner road, this is a road that the county decided to abandon about 15 years ago. Now its a perfect place to take your truck.
