In the recovery business every phone call is different, when someone called in being 1300m up a mountain (4300 feet) I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't, it was a Toyota Hilux that had slid off the track in an extremely remote region of Central Otago. It took 2 days to get there and get it out.

We've covered that in a previous video, but here's the "getting there"

Vehicle :Toyota Landcruiser

Assistant : Cayleb Clayton
Drone: Bella
