Currently Playing: I Traveled 3,571 Miles To Rescue A Veteran In Alaska... Will The Ice Hold?

On today’s episode of Murphys Diesel, Wrecker Rick gets an urgent call for an emergency off-road recovery deep in the frozen wilderness of Alaska. A military veteran traveling near the legendary Yukon River in a Sisu Hägglunds tracked military vehicle suffers a nightmare situation when the rear unit falls through thin river ice and becomes dangerously stuck. After attempting a self recovery and fighting brutal conditions, the veteran is forced to abandon the vehicle as the river begins breaking up and the ice becomes too unstable to safely continue. With time running out and conditions worsening, Wreck Ricker and crew mobilize immediately for an extreme Alaska recovery mission packed with risk, heavy equipment, and unpredictable terrain. But this isn’t a normal tow job. What starts as an off-road recovery quickly turns into a full-scale emergency rescue mission across frozen terrain, deep snow, unstable river crossings, and brutal Alaskan wilderness. The Murphys Diesel crew soon realizes they may have underestimated the harsh reality of winter recovery in remote Alaska. Their equipment breaks down, people get injured, rigging fails, and so much more going wrong. Will the crew successfully complete this impossible recovery, or will dangerous ice, freezing temperatures, and remote wilderness stop them in their tracks?
