Episode 8 of Behind The Boom – The Man Who Started It All Who was doing heavy-duty recovery before anyone else on YouTube? In this episode of Behind the Boom, Alex and I sit down with Ron Pratt, one of the pioneers of towing and heavy-duty recovery. Long before YouTube, before social media, and before most people ever saw this industry up close… he was already doing it. And then he was the first to put it on Youtube. This isn’t just another interview. This is a deep dive into the origins of modern towing, how it started, how it evolved, and what it really took to build a name in one of the toughest industries out there. We get into: • How Ron Pratt got started in towing and heavy recovery • What the industry was like before YouTube and social media • The evolution of rigging techniques and heavy-duty recoveries • The most challenging and dangerous jobs he’s been part of • Lessons from decades in the towing industry • What it takes to survive and succeed in this line of work If you’ve ever watched towing videos on YouTube and wondered where it all began… this is the story behind it.
