(By Greg Rourke) – Up in Northwest Wisconsin and Northeast Minnesota they have a bunch of off road parks and trails. And unlike the weenies I see driving around here with four shocks at each corner and chrome driveshafts, these guys have beat and battered trucks that get tortured in the woods. As a result, they get stuck and broken. That’s were BSF Recovery and their extreme wrecker come in.
No, BSF isn’t the owners initials. It stands for “Broke, Stuck, and F’d.” Their wrecker is a four wheel drive square body GMC with big rubber all around, winches, an old school boom and sling body, and enough chains, straps and snatch blocks to retrieve any errant 4 wheeler from the woods or swamp. They clearly aren’t concerned about scratching the paint on this battle wagon, often the retrieval looks like as much fun as the guy they are hooking had before forward progress was halted.
Are the BSF Recovery guys getting rich doing this? Nope, there is no charge for their services. They rely on sponsors to foot the bills. People helping people, ya gotta love it.
