0:08Rory explains the flood-swept side-by-side recovery and the need to avoid creating a new trail.
2:06From a rock ledge, Rory plans a pull using multiple winch extensions.
4:16Mike carries the winch line down the muddy creek toward the overturned Can-Am.
7:35The attempt to bring the Can-Am back onto its wheels begins.
12:25Mike takes the driver's seat to steer as the winch pulls the vehicle upstream.
16:48Sean positions the rollback above the creek for the embankment extraction.

Rory has a winch, an overturned Can-Am and a constraint that matters: getting the vehicle out without creating a new trail. His introduction to the solution is modest: "Here's my half a plan."

"Can Am Washed Away By Flood " was Trailmater Offroad Recovery's most watched of three new uploads, reaching roughly 132,000 views. The side-by-side had been swept away while attempting the Kane Creek crossing during flooding. Retrieving it means linking winch extensions, working from the rocky bank and sending Mike down the muddy creek with the line.

Once the Can-Am is upright, Mike climbs aboard to steer while Rory winches it upstream. Sean brings the rollback truck into position above the creek for the next part of the extraction. The route, rather than brute pulling power alone, gives the episode its shape.

The other uploads brought a different set of mechanical problems. "SxS Limo Gets 4WD" supplied the workshop project, while "Rolled Jeep On Elephant Hill " paired a Mercedes mud recovery with a Jeep lying on its side in Canyonlands. The crew got that Jeep back onto its wheels and able to drive out. That upload is now attracting the strongest daily audience of the three.

Subscribers held steady at 293,000 over the week, although daily views are running well above the channel's usual pace. Trailmater also drew the largest weekly audience among its nearby motoring peers, with INDYCAR On FOX having a substantial week too. For Trailmater, the new Elephant Hill recovery adds another chapter to a location already familiar from its older front-axle recovery video.
