Friday, July 18th, 2025, at 7:12 a.m. (PT), we received a request for help with an offroad recovery in Oregon. The requester, Henry Carlson , submitted the following information: “Rutted in the sand and need to be pulled to firmer ground. Its a 2015 Sub outback. Pictures attached / I’m with the vehicle / I can help cover the cost of fuel.”
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 20-mile radius.
From the group of contacted volunteers we had Trevor Dupuis taking over the request, marking himself as engaging and immediately contacting the requester to coordinate. Trevor was about 30 miles away from Henry’s vehicle.
By 9:00 a.m., the request was closed, Trevor was able to get the vehicle out without any issues.
We want to thank Trevor for going the extra mile on this request driving over 60 miles both ways. Awesome job!
