You’re pretty good man! It’s super awesome watching Matt’s off-road recovery in the sand and now here watching you in the swamp!
So basically you play mudrunner IRL for a living...
Never thought I'd see a jeep rescuing a swamp buggy.
The buggy simply wasnt Jeep Enough....
@@PunkN_JTM
It also had fairly narrow tires for a buggy. The ones I've seen had big balloon tires.
All (almost) is in the winch😂😂😂
And loaded semis and bobcat loaders and just about anything that can get stuck. Matt does a great job with that mini truck.
Swamp Buggy was underpowered and geared wrong
Im very impressed with your recoveries, they all look pretty difficult. I like that you detail how you rig the lines to get the mechanical advantage to be able to do it with a jeep.
That’s was all part of the business model
We need a small vehicle to access these areas
And mechanical advantage to get the job done
By doing this we can keep the cost reasonable
While big wrecker companies hate me because we ruin the market because they need to bring in an excavator to build a road and hire a certified diver for this and have a $15,000 bill
And wonder why they can’t get the jobs and I’m stealing them all 🤷♂️
Lol....."stealing", meanwhile you're just able to use "minimal" equipment logically as opposed to using an entire tool box full of tools to loosen one bolt. Not gonna lie, I'm a big fan of your channel....🇨🇦🇨🇦 's watchin!! I appreciate your videos and you sharing your knowledge and expertise and your wife brings it all together nicely with the video work. You guys dont act it up for the cameras and always keep it real......just awesome!!
@@matt.mckinzie Yours and Trail Mater are my two favorite channels because you don't need massive machines to do your work.
@@harpintn Yes. Florida off road recovery and Trailmater are the 2 best recovery channels on TH-cam. An abundance of technical knowledge and practical ability. Super educational and super enjoyable to watch.
@offroadrecoveryFL Hey I appreciate what you do. As I run 1150 rotator and can move about anything. I cost a lot of money. I'm big into rigging properly and never working the equipt too hard. It just makes everything safer and saves breakdowns. I see so many guys using rip and Tear method and end up damaging either customer equipt or even their own. Work smarter not harder.
I'll bet your wife/camera operator really questions your career choice sometimes.
Sometimes 😂
Better than a desk job any day
I think she enjoys it. Most women would not have walked in that water
@offroadrecoveryFL My wife has gone out with me, and she says I tried to like it, but I just can't. 😊
What size and pull strength of rope are you using? Nice job. That guy should’ve had a airboat there for you to drag that rope out there. 👍
The wife is a catch of a lifetime. What a trooper!!!!!
Seems like the worst part of that job would be cleaning up all that rope
Never ceases to amaze me the size of vehicles you can recover with your jeep just with some knowledge
I'm in Orlando and usually go up around Ocala. I'm waiting on a new engine to be installed in my 4X4. Watching your videos has got me jonesing to be in the woods. Should be done in couple months. And I've got your number saved in case I need you. Thank you, keep it up.
This job was close to you, it was in Geneva
I live in Seminole County, and also have a cabin on the east side of Lake Dorr in the Ocala Nat Forest. Around there is is mostly sugar sand.
@offroadrecoveryFL looks like the west side of lake Harney
You ever been out to the Black Hole in Cocoa? It’s in Canaveral Groves. They’ve got some holes that’ll swallow your truck hole so I suggest going on a day when there’s not much water. Also a lot of sugar sand to get in which is annoying as hell. I lived in Orlando most my life and we used to mud out in what is now known as Lake Nona and Wyndham Lakes. Just no littering please. We try to keep our woods as clean as possible
@@xskillzdatki11x never been there. Usually like just riding around more that “mudding”
Can we have a moment of silence for the drone. RIP little buddy.
Ya can see clearly how physically exhausting it was just dragging allllllll that line thru the swamp. Plus it gets heavier being wet, plus pulling thru the snatchblock resistance. Every time, I watch these swamp/water rescues.... I can't help but cringe thinking what kinda critters are slithering or lying in wait in those waters!
Yeah I thought about the alligators and pythons a few times myself.
I am truly amazed what you’re Jeep can go through!!!!
Love the husband/wife dynamic. Great rescue!
if you use a short piece of rope to make a prusik hitch you can quickly set your pull point at any part of your extension ropes it makes for quick advancement when you have to winch hard very long distances learned it from some tree guys
Double Prusiks on a loop. That’s a good idea,I’m gonna use that one thanks
The recoveries you do! As always a professional and well done recovery!
Thanks
Dammmnnn......3 weeks in the water!! That boy's gonna have some work to do!!
Yes he does
I know at some point on your recoveries you come across poison snakes,do you come across pythons if so do you catch them to turn in and make some money of them since they don't belong.😊
You guys down in Florida must be built different. They have the dump trailer parked in water next to the boats 😂
Love the content, considering you do things 100% by the book compared to other TH-cam channels 👍
We had tropical storms come through and flood like half of Florida in the last 3 weeks
That much rain should keep you busy for a week or two. Great work !!!
Normally I have an idea of how you will be carrying out the rescue, but when I saw the canoe at the side of the road @1.25, I realised that I was way out of my comfort zone, bur as usual you made it look easy!😎 ps, Your camera operator sounds delightful.
Thanks for taking the time to share Matt!! My husband and I find you and your wife entertaining along with the recoveries!! My husband also wanted me to ask if you could do a video on how you tie your ropes!! That looks a tad different than the way he ties his up! Thanks again!
The braided tie for storage? We did video it and will be making a short
I forgot to put it in this video we apologize
It was asked to add it and I totally forgot
@@matt.mckinzie that’s awesome Matt..we’ll be waiting for it!! Thanks again for all you do!
ask a construction person to show you how they do extension cords the rope is done the same way@@meloneycrews
I can tell by watching this videos I would not want to live in the coastal areas of America. I would not make a good swamp person.
Awesome recovery. You need to be a spokesperson for Jeep and all the recovery equipment you use. Excellent video.
this is my first time watching ..that jeep sounds phenomenal..not stock by far..i'm not a jeep person but that one sounds pretty beefy..gotta be able to spin it up when you're dragging around vehicles twice it's size..i used to build dirt track motors many moons ago and we ran ours up to about 7500 rpms on a long 1/2 mile track..
It has an exhaust. +2 hp.
You have built a very capable Jeep bro
Yeah, if that were here in Australia, it wouldn't be getting recovered.
That looks like croc country!
It’s definitely gator 🐊 territory
Luckily it’s cold so they hiding
@@matt.mckinzie wait, you guys get an off season?
Ours are active all year round!
Dang 3 weeks I'm surprised he didn't know about off-road recovery Florida
They did but didn’t think we would travel 150 miles to them
cant say a jeep would be my first choice but more power to ya buddy
I saved a ford tractor once from the swamp and under the hood was a thic cotton mouth i believe! be careful out there!
We see them all the time
Best channel I've found in a while.
Keep up the good work and please keep bringing these videos to us.
What is done to the jeep mechanical wise, is it all stock axles I’m assuming the rubicon stock Dana 44?? This thing blows my mind
Gators, I'm tripping on gators, crocs, whatever biting giant lizards ya got down there. We don't have that where I'm from.
We got everything 😂
Tired Swamp Buggy?🤡Is it whining….
Nice Recovery, Would have been Nice if Someone Could have Brought out a Airboat to Assist with Getting to and from the Buggy + Moving Ropes.
Youre an awesome team, really enjoy videos.
Just staking out new real estate for the Villages!
Lol
Excellent use of all your tools for a great video and successful recovery.
Amazing. You made it look fairly easy. You should’ve grabbed that canoe!
Hardest part was hooking up
New to the channel and I am a gladiator guy, built rig but for rocks here in AZ and I do some recoveries also. I have twin compressors and several tanks, one mounted behind the bumper where the spare was.....37s don't fit underneath well!!! Anyway, i have wanted to put a 9.5K winch underneath in the back, yours is the first I have seen done.....Is there somewhere I can find pics or info about how you mounted it....wiring is not an issue. I like how yours works tho but did not find a video on the build, unless I missed it....Thanks for anything in advance
We are trying to put together a winch install video if we can find time between jobs
Great job. Just found your channel a few days ago and have been enjoying the content. I think it’s time to subscribe. I’ll be following from now on.
That's the Florida cousin... Jack in the Swamp or Swamp Jack.
I feel honored to see you guys on your way to recovery Toyota at 415 and 46
Hate to pay that bill.
How much stretch is in that much rope? Love the work y’all do.
That particular rope is about 10% we had 800 feet so around 80 feet of stretch at full load rating
Just loved the way the buggy popped out of the hole !!
Using the drone to measure distance is brilliant.
Pulling that rope out was a workout!
The wifee is adorable ! ! !
Nice recovery!
you need some rope bags to store your ropes it makes handling them easier. if you stuff them into the bag the correct way they pull out without ever tangling even after the bag has been tossed around for months without being used. it makes handling hundreds of feet of rope a breeze. a 5 gallon bag will hold 150ft of 5/8th rope
I was going to get hose reels
Great recovery but I can’t believe that guy didn’t help you drag that rope out to his buggy!!!!
I feel like the customers' answers about the water being the same depth all the way out are off by a lot. Knee high to thigh high is a big difference.
Love the rope extension great idea! What type of rope is it an size?
It is an arborist rope
I think it’s 1/2”
Working load limit 8,000lbs
-20% due to figure 8 🪢 knot
6400WLL
Doubled back 12,800lbs of WLL
It stretches a lot more then a winch rope
But it is what we had that was long enough for the job
Insane... I bet that you could recover a stuck tank:)
Your a bad dude! Man that jeep freaking surprises me everytime.
Man you had to work y’all’s tales off on this one. Always great videos. Thanks
Exhausting running back and forth for the rigging
Easy pull tho
I love watching the Jeep rock and back-and-forth through the mud.
Where you want it? Right here will be fine. As you are ready to drive away on second thought how about over there.
🤣 right! I was just thinking
We just drug you a half mile through the swamp
No way we can pull you another 15 feet on dry land to the well house 😂
Lol always told the other matts offroad to get muck boots....now im telling yall get waders😂😂
Just easier to bring spare dry clothes
So embarrassed you have to cover his face 😂! Great driving and thoroughly impressed by your Jeep's setup
we are implementing some precautions like covering plates, faces, and any and all business info, due to people suck and love to be hatful for no reason. Especially on Facebook, we had people contact a business just to tell them their driver was an idiot for getting stuck off one of our videos. Yep so we are fixing that
Knowing the best way of rigging and pulling is something u cant learn in a class room or out of a book. Its a definete skillset learned from expirience. I suspect you are or hv been a wrecker/rollback recovery guy. And probubly a 4x4 guy for many years. Which is cool as hell. Also easy to see u obviously know the exact gear it takes to get the job done all by yourself. People dont realize just how much work it involves in gtg every bit of equipment drug out, using it, and gathering it all up and cleaning/stowing it away for the next call.
Talking about getting it out of the MuD. ha, understatement. More like getting it out of the Swamp! Now that’s something really serious!
Ever had an unexpected encounter with an Alligator or water moccasin during a job?
Both all the time
@@matt.mckinzie I do not see you carrying a handgun for protection from gators or water moccasins. I love your videos. Is there a video where you have an encounter with a gator or water moccasin? If yes, which video? Thanks
Awesome recovery those buggy's are a lot of fun but once the motor is in the water it's over with
When I lived down there most of the buggy owners I knew ran basic junkyard big block ford or chevy or Chrysler out of motorhomes that had been scrapped! I asked one time why they didn’t have them all souped up with go fast parts, buddy said that those who do only do so once unless they got bottomless pockets! Like this owner found out you swamp the engine and rides over till you get to high enough ground and if your lucky pull the plugs and drain the oil crank it over to empty water from cylinders and put fresh oil and filter dry plugs and your back in business just don’t forget to change oil again and filter after a lil runtime! Pro tip use cheap oil and filter while your making sure the water is all out and then use good stuff!
I helped a customer from the dealership I worked at install a snorkel on his using a kit for the carb and pvc pipe seemed to work good !
Congratulations on passing 50,000 subscribers.
Thanks, we are happy to see it moving after years of hard work
Watching a jeep pull out bigger rides is a blast!
How come hiding from camera embarrassing to be stuck 😅
New policy we implemented due to people on the internet tend to be very rude
Why would you not wear hip high boots or waders my man? You’ve got all this fancy gear but fall short on that.
The client sure had a sunny disposition.
Leg Day at the gym 😂😂😂
Right!
I really enjoy your wife's commentary. Her voice and mannerisms are soothing and sweet sounding to me. I am sure that her demeanor can change when needed. Your videos are entertaining and I enjoy them. Thank you
Women are made of sugar n spice
She is an amazing woman for sure
I am blessed 😇
i have met her at the beach and can vouch that she is very pretty. perhaps onetime u might want to put her in the video for ur fans. u r lucky, but she is also as u r a great guy too.@@matt.mckinzie
This is when, if you wear sneakers, wear high tops. The mud don’t suck them off.
What staggered me was the mass of oil pollution of that bleeding swamp rig. Why don’t you guys leave nature alone, if so aren’t able to build proper trucks, that don’t leak!
@OffroadRecovery, thanks for cleaning up that junk.
I Live Back In The Woods You See, No Woman No Kids Just The Frogs And Me! Oh Yeah, And The Turtle. lol.
I appreciate you explaining how you’re rigging. What I would like to know is what changes or improvements did you make to your Jeep. Great channel and thanks.
We are working on a video showing everything that has been done if we ever get a minute of quiet time 😂
Very curious about the Jeep build. Looking forward to the video!
I don't know if this is helpful to you or not...but, I don't know ANYTHING about off road recovery, but I do know about sailing.
& a trick we sailors use for keeping long lengths of line in order (such as for an anchor) is to simply dump it as you're pulling the line into a bucket.
The line uncoils without fuss.
Faster than your daisy chain.
Guy sure looked happy when he jumped back on that buggy
The easier way to get the swamp buggy out when its stuck like that is wait for a good drought to dry up all the water then just drive to it. It's nice to see videos from a Jacksonville channel.
He didn’t want it sitting in water for another 6 months
@@matt.mckinzie That is a good reason. You make some of the best videos on youtube
That’s certainly different than anything else I’ve run across in off road recovery. Would be interested to know what kind of rope you use, as the rest of the country uses Yankum for everything from off road, to farming, to construction,to just about anything needing recovery,but you have an entirely different set of challenges. Going to be following you more.
Where I lived in the Everglades I had a swamp boogie that was 2 wheel drive it had a 4 cylinder Datsun motor in it And it would go anywhere It was only 2 wheel drive And it never got stuck ever People would be stuck out in their big 4 wheelers in the swamps and I would come along and they would want me to pull them out I could not pull nobody out but I never got stuck I would just look at him and say sorry and drive away Cause it didn't have enough power to pull anybody But it was motor was sitting in there backwards In the back of the buggy And the drive shaft went to the front wheels only it had a 4 wheel drive transfer case and the middle3 speed What's Was a 3 speed standard transmission Was a 3 speed standard Was a 3 speed standard transmission so it had like 5 reverse gears and like 7 forward gears And it never got stuck it had airplane tires on it like a big 747And they had holes drilled in the side of them so I could stick my hand in there and tighten the bolts once in a while They would fill full of water as I drove I think that maybe helped But I'm not sure all I know is I never want it stuck ever and I drove all over to Everglades
I was surprised that your jeep was able to pull that swamp buggy out by itself but I’ve seen jeeps go places that pickup trucks couldn’t make it through.
That recovery was probably a all day event between drive time, setup, pull, clean up and a long hot shower. How many jobs a month are you typically doing?
It was
And around 40
A junkie jet ski would be helpful. Or a little hovercraft, air boat. Something...
that was enjoyable good job! ive been watching ya i like that your normal for the most part the others talk to much and sound like fools compared to you ! stay you bro!!!
That jeep is some kind of Bad-Ass I know your rigging skills are a big part of what you do but that jeep is one bad SOB!
That Jeep is a beast when it comes to recoveries.
that was right next door to my moms house lol those were my moms horses LOL smallll world
Nice, so are you the one that spoils the white one 😂
@@matt.mckinzie nah but my mom spoils both those horses, candy is the brown and gypsy is the white one :)
Well it could have been in july or August.....😅
How far away is the ocean? I'd be going there and not a swamp, Says the guy from Missouri.
I don't understand why tow truck operators insist on using one pulley, there is no mechanical advantage. The line has the same stress on either side of the pulley. Look it up and save yourself the time and effort by pulling two lines that give you no advantage or share the load.
how much do you charge for an operation like this? don’t share exact numbers just generalize please
Why build a swamp buggy without a wench on it. Would've saved this guy a few days of waiting would've been out in minutes.
makes me want to buy a similar jeep with the same setup. Im def a fan of the tires. You should get a paid sponsorship just for using em haha
yoooooooo that jeep is bad a$$. nice vids. now thats what you call an adventure.
The clean up must be really time consuming , That's probably factored in the billing . 🤣
At least it is not freezing cold.
Not freezing but still cold
Those jeeps are nicer, but I think they should have offered a V8 in those.... nothing like the sound of a V8
You worked hard for this one. Thanks.
The guy could have helped pull the rope
I was thinking the same thing or just charge more lol
Just goes to show you can make anything a mud truck! It would be cool to start seeing jeeps at mud parks.
You’re wife is a saint to deal with the conditions she often has to and remain with such a pleasant disposition
in the couple videos of yours that I watched you are walking in deep water. you should invest in some hip waders or chest waders and keep dry.
Pregunto, cuanta fuerza de arrastre tiene ese Jeep en el barro ,para llevar esa máquina por los huellones??
Dangerous what they did there. Had one of those limbs or tree caught them. Crushed big time.
