He didn't want a tow truck when I asked a second ago.

If that's the area that he's in, do we want to try to bring a truck out at all with the roads like this or just use our personal vehicles?

I would say this used personal vehicles and if his friend don't show up pretty quick with the director.
02:26
Okay,
02:27
do you want to go up the hill or down the hill and I'll go the opposite direction?
02:35

The roads are horrible, but if any traffic comes, you want me to let them come on up there.
