This is us!! When I called for help, it was 7:30 pm and starting to rain 🌧 Not a good thing!! Matt's concern was that we were safe and had a place to sleep ❤ We were camping there, so we were fine. He assured us that he would get us out no matter what, and he was not kidding.. even though a chain reaction occurred and Colt got stuck as well. What an awesome group of people doing what they love and having fun!! The BLT's were delicious and it was fun chit chatting about the channel and hanging out. Down to earth people! Thanks for doing what you do!! We were sooo grateful this did not ruin our vacation and turned out the way it did 😎🤙
I have said before in the UK in the mud with no trees we use a land anchor. Matt please look into it she will save. Be you will need to dig it out after.
When this happens with a tractor around here, we just wait a couple weeks for the ground to dry up harder deeper down, then put it in low gear and drive it right out.
Did he shat a chicken when he saw that screen shot of the jeep in lake. Thats crazy how dried up that lake is. Up here in the great white north theres so much water its redic.
I absolutely love the camaraderie between the whole team. No matter the job, you guys always seem to have a good time. Plus its always good to see you guys bring Ed with. Ive been taking care of my dad who doesnt have much time left at all, and i swear your videos are one of the few things to put a smile on my face and keep me going. Love you guys! Keep up the awesome work!
I really dislike Powell mud. I call it “Apple Pie”. Top hard crust, and a gooey bottom. When venturing out to the, now “dry” lakebed, I carry a really large and heavy boat anchor and shovel. Dig a hole, place the boat anchor in it, cover it and winch to it. It’s like a “deadman” anchor we use in canyoneering. Works very well, as long as the boat anchor is large, with an aggressive angle (it goes deeper as you pull on it). It’s often a pain in the arse to get the anchor back, but it never fails me. I’ve been stuck in that same mud, multiple times. But got ourselves out every time!
Matt, you and your crew have a great gig. You get to have fun offroading in various challenging environments, help other people, _and_ get paid to do it. I envy you guys.
There is no good news on the internet and its cold and overcast where I am. And then I find your latest adventure. I can't stop laughing and am ready to face the world again. Many thanks to Matt and the whole team for reminding me there's fun to be had no matter what you're doing.
The message I’d like to leave with you guys today is we didn’t take it serious. 😂 I love this channel! Such a great team and lot of laughs. Making a crappy situation a fun one. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!! 🤜🤛
I always say being a professional isn't about doing the job perfect everytime, it's in how you fix a mistake when they do happen because they always do.
You guys need a land anchor! Especially being out there in the desert. They don't hold a ton of pressure but it's usually enough to get you pulled out of most situations. Not the "dead man" style but the shovel head style. Great video! 😆
Came across a guy on the beach that was testing boat anchors. He hooked my recovery anchor up to compare to his boat anchors. His good boat anchor held about 3 times as much as my anchor does. Was clearly a wast of money.
Canceling the Dentist appointment was the right call by Lizzie! You can always get a tooth pulled out but it’s not everyday you can help pull out a RZR, Jeep, traction Mats and a Morvair.
Matt: "Did I just make a fool of myself ?" said the grown man riding around the desert with a bunch of goofballs looking for other goofballs to rescue?
Georges and BleepinJeep save the day again, im beginning to see a trend here 😅. The mud was insane though, it looked so dry on top I would never have guessed it would be that soft! Great teamwork guys! 👏
I have wheeled from Florida to Maine to California to Washington and most everywhere in between. That was by far the worst Gumbo Mud I have ever seen. I'd be surprised if a set of boggers or tractor tires would've even made a difference.
Not gonna lie, love all you guys but Lizzy is my favorite. She's always ready to jump right into it and always has a line or two that really makes me laugh. I buried my Tahoe like that a couple of years ago when my daughter gave me a "hold my beer" moment 😂
Land anchors are a great idea of you have the room for them. In this case, Trevor would have to ride on it die to lack of room. I do know exactly what you mean but I am sure space is a real limiting factor.
,wrap a chain around your spare wheel ,dig a hole ,then back fill ,there is your ground anchor , if you got 2 spares ,2 anchors ,used this loads of times
MORR, you guys put out some of the best content on TH-cam and you deserve every subscriber! Also, here's a shout-out to Roger Dunn for always being helpful when viewers have questions.

Glad to see the videos keeping coming. Enjoyed this one a lot! Loved the wheel well cam and Lizzie giving Trevor a place to sit. If those ropes were any longer you could have done it from home.
I have never been to Utah but watching you go on calls is like a getting a personal tour of some amazing country. I know the keyboard cowboys have it all figured out from their devices in there recliners but I have to say that the thing I'm most impressed with is how well you all work together. That says a lot . No yelling or complaining or drama. That speaks volumes. I understand your work very well and no situation is 100 percent predictable it's usually your best educated guess. My son is 2 and always wants to watch Matt on his adventures. Excellent show 👍👍
You should go to Utah. Seeing the scenery on your screen vs in person is night and day. Drove through Utah on my way to Vegas and my wife couldn't stop taking pictures. I grew up in Alaska and when I see video from there I know what it looks like but its a huge difference when you are physically there seeing it. Take the trip, you won't regret doing it.
Utah is the one place I knew I'd live in from the first time I set foot in it when I was 9 in 1978. I moved here in 2000 and haven't regretted it. The snow took some getting used to, but the breathtaking scenery I wake up to every morning makes up for the cold winters! Come visit Utah. I promise you'll love it!!
Matt & Company, I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now. While I’m genuinely intrigued with your projects & some of your more challenging recoveries, I find myself watching more recently just as a pick me up. Love your relationships with your family & friends. Every episode has a happy ending. “We’ll get them out”! Keep up the good work!
One time in Nevada I was ridding my XT600 across a "dry" lake. I was in 5th gear at about 50 MPH, when I started to do down. I was all by myself, and 40 miles from my pickup. I immediately snapped the throttle wide open, and headed for the edge. The old 600 had gobs of torque, and I had it geared for 95 MPH. I was tacked out in 5th gear, and going slower and slower. When I made it to the edge, the bike was going 5 MPH, but the back tire was going 95 MPH. I was digging a trench like you would not believe, BUT, I did make it out. I had a friend that broke through the crust on the same "dry" lake, and we had to leave it out there for a month so it would dry out. It was soooooo sticky when he got stuck that it took him 3 hours to crawl a mile. Yes, crawl. He said that he had never been so scared. The same thing will happen at the salt flats next to Salt Lake City. I lived in Elko Nevada at the time, and I was going home from Salt Lake City. I saw some people walking around a Jeep about 3/4 of a mile from the freeway. I walked out there and found a guy from Australia, and a girl from the UK. They had met while exploring the USA, and were doing it together. They had a Range Rover, and it was stuck. They had dug it out, so it was in a hole in the mud, but it was not high-centered. They asked me if I had any ideas. I said that they should unload all of their camping gear out of the back, and lower the tire pressure. We did that, and with the girl driving and both of us guys pushing, we got the Rover back on top of the crust. We loaded it back up and we drove it to the freeway. There was a service station a couple of miles farther west where they could air up their tires. I always wonder if they ever became a "couple".
After that experience, it either bonded them for life or they hated each other, LOL. Well done to you for helping, most Aussies even experienced off-roaders are not used to dry lake beds as the big lakes here that dry up are a very long way out west. Places such as Lake Eyre (3600 sq miles when full) are hardly a weekend trip for more than a small number of people.
@@marvindebot3264 Well Marvin, they were sure lovie dovie while I was helping them. They had went out there from the freeway and had camped for the night. It was only in the morning when they attempted to leave that they got stuck. On the salt flats there is a very thin salt crust. If, for instance, they would have spun the tires when they took off, that would be all it took to break through the crust. I, myself have been helped out of a sticky situation by a perfect stranger more than once. I like to play it forward. It is almost always a delightful experience. Just listening to their accents was a trip in its self. What are the odds of a guy from Australia, and a gal from England meeting each other in a country as large as the USA?
Very interesting video. Razor called for help. Morvair then called for help. Jeep then called for help. This one was not scary as other rescues, but it was complicated! Thanks guys, your videos are wonderful.
that what I was thinking then I remembered seeing movies of WW2 tanks getting stuck in the mud, as heavy as the snow cat is she would have been stuck too
@@777poco Everything can get stuck. I saw a D10 Cat stuck so deep that the top deck was even with the ground. The engine was covered with mud and water, and could not be started. It took 3 excavators to dig it out. In the spring in Nevada, when the frost goes out of the ground, normally solid ground turns into bottomless pits. Then 2 weeks later it is fine.
Im always impressed by how calm Matt stays when things just go wrong. He would have made a great surgeon! Would the SnoCat have been an option for this kind of rescue?
Sorry for my bad english but i'm French. Matt is always the same" Keep cool and rest calm". Each problem have its solution. Matt knows enough friends to come and help him. It was a very great rescue
Watched video twice, checked it so it’s on my “All Time” playlist. Epic rescue, dialog and ending credit! First time I recall customer feeding crew. PS - Have you been banned from the local car wash?
You should see the carwash after a major event like trail hero or winter jam, especially if rain or snow happens. The mud is out of control. I don’t think their little bit of mud is going to make much of a difference.
@@morrlizzy5350 When i visited your place last month, the Morrvair was a mess, and Rudy told me that one time you guys washed it 5 times in one week, only to have it muddied up again immediately. That has got to be frustrating. LOL
So glad I discovered this channel a few months ago. It's fun and informative and everyone involved is likeable. As a high school video production (also automotive) teacher I appreciate the way video production values have improved from the first until now. I also greatly appreciate that I can watch without a constant stream of beeps of profanity. Keep up the good work. It's nice to find something that's worth watching!
I have said before in the UK in the mud with no trees we use a land anchor. Matt please look into it she will save. Be you will need to dig it out after.
Hi Matt, and everyone, just to say how much we enjoy watching your vlog’s, we are in the UK and just love watching you all especially Lizzy and Jamie and how they get involved too. We have traveled a lot in the states and can relate to some of the places, nearly every evening we try and catch up with you all and enjoy every one. Now in our 70’s but still young at heart. Keep up the great work and good luck and best wishes to you all 👍😎 Denny & Marie
Thank you for not leaving those traction boards or any other trash behind. Your attention to detail on leaving things at least as good as it was before the customer got there is much appreciated
Can't stop watching this channel. It's grown soooo much. Glad You tube community is behind Matt and the crew 100%. I hope to drive out to Utah and meet Matt and the gang soon it would be a great honor.
Yes, you're right. My wife and I had that privilege last October. We met just about everyone with the morr team. We even went out to lunch with the crew. It was an honor. So, make it happen!
Who ever does the editing does a really good job that makes it more fun to watch all the fun. Now everyone knows or should know that driving on a lake bed is not the best idea. Thanks to everyone for sharing these wild recoveries all in one location. And it was Lizzy that made sure it all worked out for the best. Carry on and have a great day.
Matt says: Did I just make a fool of myself? Yup! Not the first time and not the last time! LOL This was a very difficult recovery and well done by some great guys with the right equipment and experience. Everyone, including the customers turned a difficult experience into a fun time. Thanks to everyone involved for a great video!
@@benladd4791 No. Not in that kind of mud. The customer tried to use some, that's what they were excavating after they got the rzr out. There's nothing solid at the bottom for the tracks to go into, they just get dug deeper
Guys, you should consider making a sand/mud anchor and take it with you for this kind of rescue. I had to jury rig one once, but you could whip one out in your shop. You take a flat piece of steel plate maybe 3 feet by 3 feet, triangular shaped. Weld on some strong hinges about a foot from one end. Have a five foot bar that bolts to the hinges, and add some stock above it as a brace, so it can hinge one way but not the other. The hinge is so you can fold it for stowage. Hammer the pointed end of the flat plate into the mud, all the way in so the long bar is right down to the surface. Attach your winch line to the other end of the bar. The brace keeps the plate perpendicular to the bar, so it cannot fall forward and just pull out - visualize it like taking a hoe and hammering the blade down into the ground so the hoe handle is flat on the ground. Now grab that handle and try to pull it out - not pull up, but in line with the handle. Even in loose sand a 2 to 3 foot wide, 3 foot deep piece of place can hold against thousands of pounds of pull. and it comes back out of the ground pretty easily when rocking it and pulling straight up. I was stuck miles from anywhere, and hundreds of yards from anything I could anchor to. I made a crude anchor out of scraps in the back of my truck and was able to winch myself out. You guys know the kind of sand and mud you contend with - I am sure you can figure out the best size and sh ape for an anchor. Take it with you when heading to something like this rescue
I inspected construction jobs for 25 years. The only time I got stuck was a wet grassy hillside, about 50 feet from the top of 30 foot cut slope. Right next to the blaster's bunker. Every time I gave it the gas, the jeep slid sideways down the hill. I had to have a bulldozer pull me off it. But I also put in 4 wheel drive if was muddy as soon I got off the pavement and never pushed my luck. I was with several guys that would wait until they were stuck to put it in 4 wheel. Sometimes that works, and sometimes it don't.
When plowing fields, if you get your tractor stuck, it's really stuck. Nothing short of a bulldozer can pull out a full size 4x4 tractor with dualies on front and back. Secret trick to save yourself; run a log underneath the machine in front of the back tire, wrap a chain around one end of the log then hook through the tractor rim, repeat samething on other end of log to the other back tire. Keeping a sharp eye on the log, try driving forward. The log will lift you out of the rut, but you can only do a half rotation so be prepared to repeat the whole process a dozen times. But it will get you out of that hole.
We moved to from Cedar City UT to Page AZ in early spring of 1965. Lake Powell was still filling, and Lone Rock was not known as Lone rock because you could get to it in a dune buggy with big balloon tires. I was there in 1983 when the plywood splash boards were installed on the dam spillways. Now Lake Powell's level is back to where it was in 1965. Amazing!!! It will be back!!
I was always told..."Do a Job well or not at all"...So, Matt, You really did a good one here!! Like Myself, put the humor to it too. You can only get mad at Yourself or laugh it off.
Greetings from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire in the UK. I have been following your programme for over a year and liked it very much. Have subscribed now and would like to see the Banana back in action with Morvair. Keep it up guys, you guys are great and doing a great job especially your charitable side.
What a fun time that was. The best times I ever had 4 wheeling was when I got stuck. You had to get stuck sooner or later to prove you can get yourself out one way or another. Don't be embarrassed. Own the moment. You're awesome at what you do.
If you ask the question "Did I make a fool of myself?" You know the answer is yes. Getting mad at a situation doesn't help. You have to laugh it off. That's why I love watching your crew.
To answer your question: You did not. First, you got the customer out - and first. That showed that the were the most important. But also you had the experience and knowledge to know that this place was a tar pit and getting the Morvair out was not a slam dunk. You guys are awesome!
Its crazy to see how far yall have came I remember when I first started watching the camera crew was just that only filming now everyone just does everything together I love it. Keep up the great videos guys I watch them all.
When I was a youngling I made the mistake of driving across a dry lake bed similar to this ONCE! Never again. I had 42" monster mudders and they didn't do anything but dig a deeper hole. You could put it in gear let out on the clutch without even giving any gas and all 4 tires would just sit there an slowly spin at idle. Stay away from dry lake beds!!
Trevor had me dying riding up front ON lizzy trevor is a great person on the channel it sucks when he isnt there on the recoveries really great narration of the vids thanks for another great video gang 👍
Brings back memories from last year. My son got our Ranger stuck, then his truck. Then I got my truck stuck. Next up was a 50 horse Kubota a 75 horse Deere then the 135 horse Case. Long night and still have 2 straps that are permanently joined together.
No no .... you haven’t made a fool out of yourself 😊 , actually you’ve made just more great content for your viewers ! Dictionary covers the phrase “ sh**t happens “ as unpleasant things that sometimes happen in life ! It’s why we watch 😊 love it too !
Matt, I am in awe at your humility. You are the most successful person I know and you are still very ready to admit your opps moments! Your humanity shows through> God Bless you and yours!
Lizzy is even dirt smart, using dry dirt to remove wet mud from her hands, that's using the old noggin. Best MOOR video/ recovery of the year / awesome team work.
Awesome ‘recoveries’, plural! I’m hoping to get out your way soon just to shake your hand Matt. You, by far, have the best content. Everything about your team and extended family make me feel that life is still normal. It’s calming in a weird sort of way. 🙂 May God Bless all of you and keep you safe.
When Flaming Gorge Reservoir is low, there is a mud flat that forms on Big Dry Creek near where it joins the Green River. I was fishing and watched 7 Four wheel trucks get stuck one after another. One guy got stuck and called his buddy. He got stuck and they called another friend and so on and so on. That was one Hell of a good show I can tell you that for sure!
When the Morvair got unstuck, it looked like it was running away like a wild animal, just released from a fence....wow, what a series of events that you'll have to explain carefully to Jaimie....
If I didn't just watch this video, I would not have believed the "rescue" vehicle would have gotten Stuck! Then the rescue vehicle's Rescue vehicle got stuck too!
This is us!! When I called for help, it was 7:30 pm and starting to rain 🌧 Not a good thing!! Matt's concern was that we were safe and had a place to sleep ❤ We were camping there, so we were fine.

Great to hear from one of their customers Good vibes . - Ken
Thanks for giving Matt great content.
BLT's make every situation better!
@@Sn0w1981 Haha!! For sure! It was the least I could do for them 🤝
Sounds like it just added to the adventure! Got to meet some new awesome friends!
"I'm feeling defeated." "Your feet are right there." Thank you Trevor. I needed that.
I lost it at the comment, definitely something I’ll never forget
I have said before in the UK in the mud with no trees we use a land anchor. Matt please look into it she will save. Be you will need to dig it out after.
LMAO I thought I’d be the only one that caught that lol
😂😂
yup, and his Morrvair has been retired (with swamp tires) 🤪
When this happens with a tractor around here, we just wait a couple weeks for the ground to dry up harder deeper down, then put it in low gear and drive it right out.
Huge shout out to Georges for letting me borrow his jeep and getting it a little dirty! 😉😁 mock, yeah, ing, yeah, bird, yeah👍
Did he shat a chicken when he saw that screen shot of the jeep in lake.
Thats crazy how dried up that lake is. Up here in the great white north theres so much water its redic.
Colt i swear you were out there for like 2 months from all the different videos haha
Haha!! There's some more people that want a ride!
You rock buddy!
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery you need to invest in building you a land anchor for each rig. Cheap insurance and will always get you home Sir.
Sometimes four wheel drive just gets you stuck fifty feet further down the trail.
The difference between two wheel drive and four wheel drive is how far you walk when you're stuck.
My grampa claimed 4x4 was to back out, when you get stuck in 2x...
Not keep going ahead.
For that exact reason.
this is in fact, facts.
I absolutely love the camaraderie between the whole team. No matter the job, you guys always seem to have a good time. Plus its always good to see you guys bring Ed with. Ive been taking care of my dad who doesnt have much time left at all, and i swear your videos are one of the few things to put a smile on my face and keep me going. Love you guys!

Trevor and Lizzy are the duo of the decade. So entertaining!
One of the most entertaining episodes ever. I was sorry it had to end.
I am with you, but they weren't🤣
I just love how dedicated everyone on the crew is. You'll all do whatever it takes to get em out and bring us along for the journey.
"I do weird things all the time like hanging out with you two" 😂 Best line EVER! Well said Lizzy.
I heard that in the video and immediately came to look for the comment so I could thumbs up. Lizzie rocks!
I have to keep them on their toes somehow😂
@@morrlizzy5350 You are an essential asset to the Crew! I've become a Lizzy fan! The videos just aren't complete without you in them.
Well Matt you can’t say that people don’t watch RZR recovery’s anymore because they’re not interesting, because this one was _interesting!_
Matt, you and your crew have a great gig. You get to have fun offroading in various challenging environments, help other people, _and_ get paid to do it. I envy you guys.
Lizzy consistently impresses me.
She's a remarkable woman with exceptional qualities, and should be recognized and honoured for them.

Get a life you thirsty douches.
yeah i didn't know one of her skill was a B Movie monster. her talents are endless

Great video! 😆
I feel a "Lizzy can't weld" video coming up, just to make her own land anchor..
Good project
Like a CQR boat anchor that digs itself in?
Came across a guy on the beach that was testing boat anchors. He hooked my recovery anchor up to compare to his boat anchors. His good boat anchor held about 3 times as much as my anchor does. Was clearly a wast of money.
Ha! Just asked the same! Looks like a great addition to the arsenal.
That was great even Colt got stuck

@@neeosstuff7540 Ditto!
She's a rare gem and the lucky guy who ends up with her had better take darn good care of her or the posse coming after him would be an army.

Who says she liked men? Lol
Should definitely invest in some super swampers or really beefy mt’s specially for lake bed rescues stay safe bub
Georges and BleepinJeep save the day again, im beginning to see a trend here 😅. The mud was insane though, it looked so dry on top I would never have guessed it would be that soft! Great teamwork guys! 👏
You guys seem to be handy to have around, keep up the great work on your channel as well.
@Marcus Young no, he is at a point when he rely on someone else.
What’s crazy is you can be in a group and three Jeeps go through easily and the fourth sinks to the axles. Really unpredictable.
I have wheeled from Florida to Maine to California to Washington and most everywhere in between. That was by far the worst Gumbo Mud I have ever seen. I'd be surprised if a set of boggers or tractor tires would've even made a difference.
did that jeep you lent them have nitrous tanks in the back , if so thats neat for a jeep
Not gonna lie, love all you guys but Lizzy is my favorite. She's always ready to jump right into it and always has a line or two that really makes me laugh. I buried my Tahoe like that a couple of years ago when my daughter gave me a "hold my beer" moment 😂
Yeah Lizzie is really awesome, always on point 👌
@@mrolsen6987 Well She's Big, and She's Terrible!!😰💜💙💛😁
Fun recovery. Loved Lizzies end shot!
Matt, have you looked at land anchors? I've seen them successfully used for self recovery, though I'm sure that they are not the answer in every case.
Land anchors are a great idea of you have the room for them. In this case, Trevor would have to ride on it die to lack of room. I do know exactly what you mean but I am sure space is a real limiting factor.
They were in a lake…sort of.
,wrap a chain around your spare wheel ,dig a hole ,then back fill ,there is your ground anchor , if you got 2 spares ,2 anchors ,used this loads of times
MORR, you guys put out some of the best content on TH-cam and you deserve every subscriber!
Also, here's a shout-out to Roger Dunn for always being helpful when viewers have questions. A few others do this as well; I appreciate that you use Matt's own explanation or his exact words in reply.

I was today years old when I learned the MORRVAIR is named after Matt's Off Road Recovery
The clips of Colt & Company were hilarious 🤣
Glad to see the videos keeping coming. Enjoyed this one a lot! Loved the wheel well cam and Lizzie giving Trevor a place to sit. If those ropes were any longer you could have done it from home.
Amazing that no one became the least bit frustrated or upset! Kudos to Lizzy, who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty!
this has to be my favorite video so far, for everything, the recovery, the friendship, the fun, the jokes, the footage !!
I have never been to Utah but watching you go on calls is like a getting a personal tour of some amazing country. I know the keyboard cowboys have it all figured out from their devices in there recliners but I have to say that the thing I'm most impressed with is how well you all work together. That says a lot . No yelling or complaining or drama. That speaks volumes. I understand your work very well and no situation is 100 percent predictable it's usually your best educated guess. My son is 2 and always wants to watch Matt on his adventures. Excellent show 👍👍
Make it out there! Utah is absolutely incredible and as unforgiving as it looks. My favorite place
We definitely have a wide variety of terrain here 😎
You should go to Utah. Seeing the scenery on your screen vs in person is night and day. Drove through Utah on my way to Vegas and my wife couldn't stop taking pictures. I grew up in Alaska and when I see video from there I know what it looks like but its a huge difference when you are physically there seeing it. Take the trip, you won't regret doing it.
Utah is the one place I knew I'd live in from the first time I set foot in it when I was 9 in 1978. I moved here in 2000 and haven't regretted it. The snow took some getting used to, but the breathtaking scenery I wake up to every morning makes up for the cold winters! Come visit Utah. I promise you'll love it!!
@@thatlindgirlinutah5829 I believe I will have to make a road trip 😊
those customers were awesome. recoveries like that are what its all about. helping good people when they need it
Matt & Company, I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now. While I’m genuinely intrigued with your projects & some of your more challenging recoveries, I find myself watching more recently just as a pick me up. Love your relationships with your family & friends. Every episode has a happy ending. “We’ll get them out”! Keep up the good work!
Matt & crew - thanks for the entertainment! You guys are a blast.
One time in Nevada I was ridding my XT600 across a "dry" lake. I was in 5th gear at about 50 MPH, when I started to do down. I was all by myself, and 40 miles from my pickup. I immediately snapped the throttle wide open, and headed for the edge. The old 600 had gobs of torque, and I had it geared for 95 MPH. I was tacked out in 5th gear, and going slower and slower. When I made it to the edge, the bike was going 5 MPH, but the back tire was going 95 MPH. I was digging a trench like you would not believe, BUT, I did make it out. I had a friend that broke through the crust on the same "dry" lake, and we had to leave it out there for a month so it would dry out. It was soooooo sticky when he got stuck that it took him 3 hours to crawl a mile. Yes, crawl. He said that he had never been so scared.
The same thing will happen at the salt flats next to Salt Lake City. I lived in Elko Nevada at the time, and I was going home from Salt Lake City. I saw some people walking around a Jeep about 3/4 of a mile from the freeway. I walked out there and found a guy from Australia, and a girl from the UK. They had met while exploring the USA, and were doing it together. They had a Range Rover, and it was stuck. They had dug it out, so it was in a hole in the mud, but it was not high-centered. They asked me if I had any ideas. I said that they should unload all of their camping gear out of the back, and lower the tire pressure. We did that, and with the girl driving and both of us guys pushing, we got the Rover back on top of the crust. We loaded it back up and we drove it to the freeway. There was a service station a couple of miles farther west where they could air up their tires. I always wonder if they ever became a "couple".
Great story, thanks for sharing!
Fun story, liked reading it :)
After that experience, it either bonded them for life or they hated each other, LOL. Well done to you for helping, most Aussies even experienced off-roaders are not used to dry lake beds as the big lakes here that dry up are a very long way out west. Places such as Lake Eyre (3600 sq miles when full) are hardly a weekend trip for more than a small number of people.
@@marvindebot3264 Well Marvin, they were sure lovie dovie while I was helping them. They had went out there from the freeway and had camped for the night. It was only in the morning when they attempted to leave that they got stuck. On the salt flats there is a very thin salt crust. If, for instance, they would have spun the tires when they took off, that would be all it took to break through the crust.
I, myself have been helped out of a sticky situation by a perfect stranger more than once. I like to play it forward. It is almost always a delightful experience. Just listening to their accents was a trip in its self. What are the odds of a guy from Australia, and a gal from England meeting each other in a country as large as the USA?
Luv it Trevor..."you're not undefeated, your feet are right there..."...you da bestest...
Very interesting video. Razor called for help. Morvair then called for help. Jeep then called for help. This one was not scary as other rescues, but it was complicated! Thanks guys, your videos are wonderful.
It's more entertaining when things go wrong, as long as no one gets hurt.
Also, the correct vehicle for this recovery was the snowcat.
But if you get that stuck there is nothing in the world getting it out of that mud...
Thankfully doesn’t weigh much so long as you can spin the tracks corvair would pull it 💪
that what I was thinking then I remembered seeing movies of WW2 tanks getting stuck in the mud, as heavy as the snow cat is she would have been stuck too
@@Stumper52 You'd need one of those crazy screw tanks for that job.
@@777poco Everything can get stuck. I saw a D10 Cat stuck so deep that the top deck was even with the ground. The engine was covered with mud and water, and could not be started. It took 3 excavators to dig it out. In the spring in Nevada, when the frost goes out of the ground, normally solid ground turns into bottomless pits. Then 2 weeks later it is fine.
Dang, lake Powell is looking SCARY! Great video as always though
Tucker, Colt, and Jefe had a fun trip out. The banter was good in this one.
Im always impressed by how calm Matt stays when things just go wrong. He would have made a great surgeon! Would the SnoCat have been an option for this kind of rescue?
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery matt you need a sisu-nasu
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery
Yes, likely.
Looks like the tracks (paddles) are aluminum. So the sand would chew the hell out of it.
Sorry for my bad english but i'm French. Matt is always the same" Keep cool and rest calm". Each problem have its solution. Matt knows enough friends to come and help him. It was a very great rescue
@@pilous60 Your English is fine!😁👍
I can't speak or type French, so...
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery these lake rescues could use those traction boards you tested. But new yellow ones that are twice the width.
Watch y’all’s videos everyday. Takes me away from the world for a few minutes. Brings me a lot of happiness!
Watched video twice, checked it so it’s on my “All Time” playlist. Epic rescue, dialog and ending credit! First time I recall customer feeding crew.
PS - Have you been banned from the local car wash?
Nah, the carwash just puts out a sign "fill dirt for sale "
That stuff is hard to wash off too.
You should see the carwash after a major event like trail hero or winter jam, especially if rain or snow happens. The mud is out of control. I don’t think their little bit of mud is going to make much of a difference.
I washed the morrvair twice to try and get it off and it still was stuck on there😂
@@morrlizzy5350 When i visited your place last month, the Morrvair was a mess, and Rudy told me that one time you guys washed it 5 times in one week, only to have it muddied up again immediately. That has got to be frustrating. LOL
So glad I discovered this channel a few months ago. It's fun and informative and everyone involved is likeable. As a high school video production (also automotive) teacher I appreciate the way video production values have improved from the first until now. I also greatly appreciate that I can watch without a constant stream of beeps of profanity. Keep up the good work. It's nice to find something that's worth watching!
Same here! Their video production has been getting better (and funnier) with every video.
I have said before in the UK in the mud with no trees we use a land anchor. Matt please look into it she will save. Be you will need to dig it out after.
Why do you keep posting this same comment from multiple accounts?
@@JeremyAkersInAustin it's not me. They've copied and pasted my comment. If i could stop it i would.
Hi Matt, and everyone, just to say how much we enjoy watching your vlog’s, we are in the UK and just love watching you all especially Lizzy and Jamie and how they get involved too. We have traveled a lot in the states and can relate to some of the places, nearly every evening we try and catch up with you all and enjoy every one. Now in our 70’s but still young at heart. Keep up the great work and good luck and best wishes to you all 👍😎 Denny & Marie
Thank you for not leaving those traction boards or any other trash behind. Your attention to detail on leaving things at least as good as it was before the customer got there is much appreciated
Traction boards can cost like $80, not really something you just want to leave behind usually anyway.
Can't stop watching this channel. It's grown soooo much. Glad You tube community is behind Matt and the crew 100%. I hope to drive out to Utah and meet Matt and the gang soon it would be a great honor.
Yes, you're right. My wife and I had that privilege last October. We met just about everyone with the morr team. We even went out to lunch with the crew. It was an honor. So, make it happen!
Like the channel but some times you are stupid. Mortar sound effects sucked on this video shows you weren't trying
Guys at Bleepin Jeep need special shirts... On back side of standard shirt... an added line...."We Got Matt Out !!"
Who ever does the editing does a really good job that makes it more fun to watch all the fun. Now everyone knows or should know that driving on a lake bed is not the best idea. Thanks to everyone for sharing these wild recoveries all in one location. And it was Lizzy that made sure it all worked out for the best. Carry on and have a great day.
Matt says: Did I just make a fool of myself? Yup! Not the first time and not the last time! LOL This was a very difficult recovery and well done by some great guys with the right equipment and experience. Everyone, including the customers turned a difficult experience into a fun time. Thanks to everyone involved for a great video!
Few max tracks would have helped
@@benladd4791 not really check out 9:23 they didnt seem to help at all.
@@benladd4791 No. Not in that kind of mud. The customer tried to use some, that's what they were excavating after they got the rzr out. There's nothing solid at the bottom for the tracks to go into, they just get dug deeper
Guys, you should consider making a sand/mud anchor and take it with you for this kind of rescue. I had to jury rig one once, but you could whip one out in your shop.
You take a flat piece of steel plate maybe 3 feet by 3 feet, triangular shaped. Weld on some strong hinges about a foot from one end. Have a five foot bar that bolts to the hinges, and add some stock above it as a brace, so it can hinge one way but not the other.
The hinge is so you can fold it for stowage.
Hammer the pointed end of the flat plate into the mud, all the way in so the long bar is right down to the surface. Attach your winch line to the other end of the bar. The brace keeps the plate perpendicular to the bar, so it cannot fall forward and just pull out - visualize it like taking a hoe and hammering the blade down into the ground so the hoe handle is flat on the ground. Now grab that handle and try to pull it out - not pull up, but in line with the handle. Even in loose sand a 2 to 3 foot wide, 3 foot deep piece of place can hold against thousands of pounds of pull. and it comes back out of the ground pretty easily when rocking it and pulling straight up.
I was stuck miles from anywhere, and hundreds of yards from anything I could anchor to. I made a crude anchor out of scraps in the back of my truck and was able to winch myself out.
You guys know the kind of sand and mud you contend with - I am sure you can figure out the best size and sh ape for an anchor. Take it with you when heading to something like this rescue
You don't even need that an since these guys are supposedly Pros, They should already know you bury a spare tire an hook up the winch to it.
Can you use a boat anchor? Like a plow or Danforth. I always wonder that when I see them get stuck like this.
@@aarontooth you can use anything at all that will either dig in or stay buried long enough to winch off of.
"I do weird things all the time, my life Is made of weird things, like hanging out with you two" Lizzie 🤣🤣🤣
What a classy lady.
Been around mud my whole life. There are two kinds of people; those who have been stuck and those that are going to be! Love your content.
I inspected construction jobs for 25 years. The only time I got stuck was a wet grassy hillside, about 50 feet from the top of 30 foot cut slope. Right next to the blaster's bunker. Every time I gave it the gas, the jeep slid sideways down the hill. I had to have a bulldozer pull me off it.
But I also put in 4 wheel drive if was muddy as soon I got off the pavement and never pushed my luck. I was with several guys that would wait until they were stuck to put it in 4 wheel. Sometimes that works, and sometimes it don't.
Like my pops used to say never say whoa 😮 at a mud hole
When plowing fields, if you get your tractor stuck, it's really stuck. Nothing short of a bulldozer can pull out a full size 4x4 tractor with dualies on front and back. Secret trick to save yourself; run a log underneath the machine in front of the back tire, wrap a chain around one end of the log then hook through the tractor rim, repeat samething on other end of log to the other back tire. Keeping a sharp eye on the log, try driving forward. The log will lift you out of the rut, but you can only do a half rotation so be prepared to repeat the whole process a dozen times. But it will get you out of that hole.
My large winch truck with 1000' of cable works great for pulling out said tractors from whatever distsnce is necesary.
As desperate as conditions become, you guys are always level headed and have a sense of humor!!!😃❤👍💯💪
To really complete the adventure and to close the loop, we needed the Razr to pull out Blue Steel!!!!!
We moved to from Cedar City UT to Page AZ in early spring of 1965. Lake Powell was still filling, and Lone Rock was not known as Lone rock because you could get to it in a dune buggy with big balloon tires. I was there in 1983 when the plywood splash boards were installed on the dam spillways. Now Lake Powell's level is back to where it was in 1965. Amazing!!! It will be back!!
Wishing the best for Matt and his Legal Situation. Some of the most hardworking folks ever. Love y'all and the channel
Man I was so disappointed when I read about that. This is a great channel and I'd hate to see it go down.
The longest recovery I have ever seen. Never to old to learn. Matt you and your friends rock, even in the mud. Loved this recovery of the recovery.
Looks like a perfect extraction for the Sherp!!! Love your channel buddy!
I wonder if Matt gets one of his own t-shirts. Because he had to make a call 😂
He should have to get a MORR tattoo for having to make a call.🤣
@@eaglespetty This comment is so underrated!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was always told..."Do a Job well or not at all"...So, Matt, You really did a good one here!! Like Myself, put the humor to it too. You can only get mad at Yourself or laugh it off.
That's right !
Don't take yourself too seriously, we only live once and NOBODY gets outta this world alive !
@@jimwednt1229
Never a “truer word said”…😊👍😃
@Matt you guys need to make Trevor a trailer hitch camera man platform for when the seats are full. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride
Think this might have been one of my favourite videos. Great to see everyone staying positive
Matt, one of the best video recoveries yet, thanks for being honest about getting yourself into a unbelievable recovery.
Greetings from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire in the UK. I have been following your programme for over a year and liked it very much. Have subscribed now and would like to see the Banana back in action with Morvair. Keep it up guys, you guys are great and doing a great job especially your charitable side.
Was kind of hoping Lizzy would offer Matt a shirt 😂
Great job. I was expecting Lizzie to give Matt a shirt so he could hold it up and say "I made a call..."
LOL! i lost it at Trevor saying "your feet are right there" after Matt being 'de-feeted' LOL
What a fun time that was. The best times I ever had 4 wheeling was when I got stuck. You had to get stuck sooner or later to prove you can get yourself out one way or another. Don't be embarrassed. Own the moment. You're awesome at what you do.
“Cause I’m defeated”.
“But your feet are right there!” Lmaooooo These are are hilarious
Anyone can make a mistake..its what you do with a mistake...you guys make the best of it...in every situation
If you ask the question "Did I make a fool of myself?" You know the answer is yes.
Getting mad at a situation doesn't help. You have to laugh it off. That's why I love watching your crew.
Trevor needed to shake his fist and say, "Matthew!!"💪
To answer your question: You did not. First, you got the customer out - and first. That showed that the were the most important. But also you had the experience and knowledge to know that this place was a tar pit and getting the Morvair out was not a slam dunk. You guys are awesome!
Its crazy to see how far yall have came I remember when I first started watching the camera crew was just that only filming now everyone just does everything together I love it. Keep up the great videos guys I watch them all.
Dancing, rodeo, welding, recoveries and now wakeboarding. Lizzy really needs her own channel.
I'd agree with that . 4SURE!
I found this channel today and I can't get enough. I love it. All these guys look like nice,easy going wholesome people
When I was a youngling I made the mistake of driving across a dry lake bed similar to this ONCE! Never again. I had 42" monster mudders and they didn't do anything but dig a deeper hole. You could put it in gear let out on the clutch without even giving any gas and all 4 tires would just sit there an slowly spin at idle. Stay away from dry lake beds!!
Trevor had me dying riding up front ON lizzy trevor is a great person on the channel it sucks when he isnt there on the recoveries really great narration of the vids thanks for another great video gang 👍
Brings back memories from last year. My son got our Ranger stuck, then his truck. Then I got my truck stuck. Next up was a 50 horse Kubota a 75 horse Deere then the 135 horse Case. Long night and still have 2 straps that are permanently joined together.
Great panoramic views,and pals helping each other out in a time of need.
Great channel and a special group of people .
No no .... you haven’t made a fool out of yourself 😊 , actually you’ve made just more great content for your viewers ! Dictionary covers the phrase “ sh**t happens “ as unpleasant things that sometimes happen in life !
It’s why we watch 😊 love it too !
New to your channel
Can’t get enough though !
Love that your son & daughter help out !
Honesty and kindness
There are no substitutes
Keep it up !
Dave
Matt, I am in awe at your humility. You are the most successful person I know and you are still very ready to admit your opps moments! Your humanity shows through> God Bless you and yours!
Lizzy is even dirt smart, using dry dirt to remove wet mud from her hands, that's using the old noggin. Best MOOR video/ recovery of the year / awesome team work.
Man's its absolutely crazy how fast your channel has grown. Congratulations man. Absolutely love the content!
Matt better get himself another shirt, HE MADE THE CALL. Perks of being the boss.
I said the same thing haha
Awesome ‘recoveries’, plural! I’m hoping to get out your way soon just to shake your hand Matt. You, by far, have the best content. Everything about your team and extended family make me feel that life is still normal. It’s calming in a weird sort of way. 🙂 May God Bless all of you and keep you safe.
When Flaming Gorge Reservoir is low, there is a mud flat that forms on Big Dry Creek near where it joins the Green River. I was fishing and watched 7 Four wheel trucks get stuck one after another. One guy got stuck and called his buddy. He got stuck and they called another friend and so on and so on. That was one Hell of a good show I can tell you that for sure!
These guys are just like one big happy family, and they make you feel like family, matt an Trevor is the kind of guys who I would hangout with
When the Morvair got unstuck, it looked like it was running away like a wild animal, just released from a fence....wow, what a series of events that you'll have to explain carefully to Jaimie....
Easy watch the video
If I didn't just watch this video, I would not have believed the "rescue" vehicle would have gotten Stuck! Then the rescue vehicle's Rescue vehicle got stuck too!
Happy for y’all! Recovery is growing in business and social media. Soon y’all will become a global name with hopefully a TV SHOW!!!
