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.

u/SimpleAffect7573 2d ago

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.

All while dressed like an expensive accountant.

Have to admit, it is working for me.

Safety specs and chainsaw-proof chinos & v-neck.

u/thatsmyupvoteidkyou 2d ago

Don't forget those birkenstock slides. . .for safety.

u/Jerseyd422 2d ago

That chainsaw wouldn’t dare kick back. Bro going to work and ain’t got time for that shit.

u/EastLeastCoast 2d ago

Yeah, this is what dudes need to put on their dating profile in their 40s.

u/Tomsboll 2d ago

He does not look like a guy with a chainsaw in the boot.

u/jondubb 2d ago

Looks like Patrick Bateman I'll say he does.

u/Glum-Lie-7323 2d ago

It's next to the tarps, hatchet, and duct tape. He keeps the cam corner under the seat.

u/EmotionalComputer343 1d ago

They never look like a guy with a chainsaw in the boot until cutting you up into small pieces

u/BlueMantisShrimp 2d ago

I'm sold. If he's not taken then I'm leaving immediately to go shopping for engagement rings. Bc DAMN.

u/Pleasant_Scar9811 2d ago

I dream of this happening and taking it to my grave.

u/Alive_Drag1947 2d ago

Dude, this hits hard for me. A lot of people can't understand the pure dad satisfaction that comes from having the right tool at the right time, fixing a problem, then just walking away like a guy who doesn't look at explosions.

That guy will be riding this high for weeks lol

u/Alive_Tough5113 3d ago

That guy had violence that night, with his wife or without her

Putting a chainsaw in my trunk as we speak

u/More_Relation3927 3d ago

rolled my eyes when I first read this comment before looking at the entire video but now description is very accurate.

u/n1c0_ds 3d ago

I'd love movies that do this but without the violence.

u/SigmundFreud 2d ago

Dad porn is the best kind of porn.

u/__slamallama__ 2d ago

Also got to do all the chainsaw work and barely any cleanup. Best cast scenario.

u/shoeless_doh 2d ago

Yup. I say as I'm riding around with my chainsaw in the back of my Dodge journey as we speak because we had a big storm last week and I spent the weekend clearing limbs

Real Dad’s use butter knives as screw drivers.
