Highway Thru Hell TV Show

[Bob]

My son turned me on to a Discovery Channel type reality show called "Highway Thru Hell" about a large scale towing/recovery company in British Columbia. They do big jobs like semis off the road down mountain slopes.

It's available on Netfix, maybe other places too.

They are up on the COCH and a oilfield highway.
Good mindless watching.
They do some way cool recoveries.
One can learn a ton about pinching from watching these guys recover.
The rotator truck Jamie has are huge and about as modern as it gets.
He uses all 3 of the Canadian built tractors, KW, PETE, an Sterling

Cool show, watched a couple episodes this weekend.

typical formula... drama, something interesting, drama, something interesting...

I rode southbound on the Hells Gate road (Canada 1, Spences Bridge to Hope) and recall some of the buildings, tunnels, and scenery. Nice, tight, scenic canyon road.

Slightly less artificial drama than most reality TV shows. More than anything watching these huge wreckers is a good time.
