Need somebody with a winch to help

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024, at 3:58 a.m. (ET), we received a request for help with an offroad recovery in North Carolina. The requester, Finn , submitted the following information: “1500 chevy 4×4, not pulling out with vehicle, need winch or come along. I need winch or come along, vehicle cannot get to it. not stuck badly, just cannot get traction. / I’m with the vehicle“

Our administrator, Al Fontan, contacted the requester and verified the contact information provided, GPS location, and current situation before sending the request to local volunteers. In this particular recovery, we contacted volunteers within a 35-mile radius.

Late one night, a recovery request came in. At that time, no volunteers responded, but early the next morning, I reached out to Finn before re-submitting the request to our local volunteers. To my relief, Finn informed me that he had managed to crawl out of the situation on his own.

We still want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who answered the call the following morning. Although the request had already been resolved, it’s important to acknowledge the readiness and dedication of our volunteers. Your willingness to help at a moment’s notice reflects the incredible spirit of this community. (offroad recovery in North Carolina)
