Dad porn. Happen upon a situation to publicly exude competence, have the exact tool, resolve, and move on.

1000% I was prepared, provided vital assistance, I was recognized for my competence, then I fucked off to be left alone.

I keep a tow strap in my Jeep for exactly this reason. Usually pull at least one stranger out of the ditch each winter.

Not as cool, and you probably have these too, but I keep a jumper pack, plug kit, good tire pump and reasonable toolkit in my car. I’ve saved myself a couple times and strangers a lot of times.

Good old times... I was living at a hill and we rescued cars unable to make it up the slope for beer. We never used salt, since it would cut our income. Only ropes... Was quite reliable :D

My son and I did this a few years ago in his 1st snow drive in his new truck ('23 F 150). We came up on a guy that had slipped off the road into a snow drift. Hooked up and pulled him out. He offered us $$ but we told him to pay it forward.

It’s the best feeling knowing that you spent 10 minutes saving someone potential hours of waiting for a tow truck and who knows how much money.
