Every post below is built from one of your recent episodes — it retells the recovery, explains the technique, and points viewers to the gear involved. The video is the reason each post exists.

Gear-story — Rick reads out his full recovery loadout on camera (500 ft of winch line, kinetic ropes, slings, soft shackles, winch rings) plus a hand-built receiver-hitch tube, mapped to Murphy's recovery-point hardware and rope kit. This is Part 1 of the two-part Alaska rescue — deliberately placed the day BEFORE Part 2 (Day 11) so the story runs in order. This is a one-slot exception to the calendar's recency ordering, made on purpose.
