Blowing a seal on the Atchafalaya River last month taught me to always keep a spare hydraulic hose onboard

I was three miles from the ramp when the old hose gave out, and the $200 tow fee was a painful reminder to stock up on a backup kit for the next job; has anyone found a good brand that won't crack in the heat?

Dude it's wild how the stuff you never think about till it breaks always bites you at the worst time. It's like everything has a hidden timer on parts that just waits for the moment you're furthest from help.

Nodding so hard reading this... it's like the universe has a sick sense of humor, waiting till you're on a dirt road with no cell service to remind you that you've been ignoring that weird sound for months.
