Yesterday my husband went through a 7hr open heart surgery - the only thing that kept me sane was watching your recovery videos, one after the other. Your steady voices (no yelling), the sound of the winches and engines… thank you ♥️. Greetx from austria, middle of europe Ps: we drive a Land Rover Defender td5 with everything added
Lizzy has not gained the Jedi master's ways of staying warm, but she is still a ray of sunshine on a dark snowy night. Absolutely love the videos... the off road wrecker build is my favorite at the moment.
Matt is definitely born for this job. Any weather condition doesn’t stop him from any job to be done … without a coat, his mammal blood able regulate his temperature. Well done Matt’s Recovery Team!
They say cold, is mind over matter. I am an Eskimo. I say that is BS. Eat foods high in calories, dress in multiple layers (3 at least, not including skivvies). Thermal underarmor, sweats, and a parka or something wind/waterproof. Keep your feet dry with XTRATUFF neoprene insulated rubber boots. For gloves, wells lamont makes some comfortable warm work gloves. But, I use the $1 blue wrist cotton gloves for the dexterity, when wrenching.
I’m really liking the new camerakid. He seems really cool and understands the importance of a good snow parka and real snow gloves. I bet he even wears waterproof warm snow boots.
@@evilbrat5376 MORR Lizzy 39 minutes ago On this one, we got the call and left 15 minutes later. I didn’t have time to go home and get my snow clothes.
A brief suggestion for the snow issues. My great wife and myself lived up a fairly vicious Colorado mountain road that got snow every fall, winter and spring. We used snow chains every year finally developing into a very serious set recommended by a friend further up the canyon that plowed snow with a Ram 1 ton. Had 3/8" side chains with double cross bars with ice bars. Chains were heavy and took a while to mount and then get tight, but were like driving with tracks. Whole rig was a 76 F-250 3/4 ton 4x4 upgraded to a bored out 390 Police Interceptor with 4 barrel made by Weber with a high torque cam. Then could get anywhere along with 1976 Warn 8,000 pound winch and had a snow plow from a dump truck, hydraulic flat bed, springs upgraded to 11,700 GVW, log hoist and three fuel tanks holding 60 gallons of premium. Got burned out by forest fire and now lived the good retired life. Truck still has an excellent owner and "STILL TRUCKING!" Our driving was different from yours as no sand involved just hard granite, ground up granite, minor mud but very serious snow as have had snow coming over hood with no plow while going up a 9% grade. Really enjoy your videos but please consider serious snow chains as makes life much easier in slippery or deep snow.
Man, watching this channel's growth has made me strangely proud, especially since I have absolutely nothing to do with said growth, lol. But watching you guys go from just under 100k to over 1m making good, clean content with no clickbait, not being rude to customers, nothing but friends and friendly people, has just been the most satisfying thing to watch and I can't think of many other channels that deserve it MORR! (I had to get at least one in, lol)
Agreed! It's been a pleasure watching. Love the consistency in output, not getting too glossy. Please keep it there because that's what makes it all so lovable... everyone's work to make it great.
Utah is truly a magical place. You can drive a few hours and see sandy deserts, snowy mountains, salt flats and green forests. I wish my area was as diverse, thanks for taking us along on your journey!
Definitely some beautiful country in Utah. I've been through many areas of the state, I've been through the area where Matt is, & where FabRats is, & where Robby Layton is.
@Steve King I mean, sure. But you're doing each of those things for maybe 30 minutes and spending the rest of the time suffering through traffic, and lately paying $6/gal for fuel. I left UT for the chance to work at a cool job in L.A., but I am over it. CA definitely isn't worth it. Utah has everything and more, for less than half the cost.
I think Matt keeps Lizzy with him for the sunshine she exudes. Her smile is like sunshine so Matt can keep wearing short sleeves and no gloves on those snow recoverys. Love seeing Paul and you guys being such great friends.
No doubt about it - she is a force of nature. When everybody is discouraged any job crunches to a halt, but a single "let's get 'er done" person can pull it through.
My Dad worked for years, as a Foreman for Caterpillar. He had to go out on snowy jobs like this!!!! These videos remind me of him! It was his job to get men out of the messes they created. Bless your heart, Matt!
I have no idea what made the TH-cam algorithm recommend this channel but I’m glad it did. Now I’m addicted and haven’t been able to stop watching these videos over the last couple months.
My grandfather had a tool for shooting a valve stem into a wheel. At some point you still have to pull the tire to get the other chunk of valve stemp out but it may help for these situations. It is just a tube with a valve stem on the one end and a metal funnel that screws off so that you can put the valve stem in. Screw it back together, put the funnel end over the valve stem hole, and apply air.
I absolutely love how all the crew is ALWAYS in good spirits and never getting frustrated, angry or snippy with one another. Always just an adventure and just “figuring it out” mentality! Love all your videos including Fab Rats! Keep up the good work! Best entertainment on TH-cam ❤️
I was like Matt till I turned 50 a couple years ago. I never had on a jacket in our cold Indiana winters. Now if it gets below 50 I freeze. So we bought a house in Florida…lol Paul is the most positive person on TH-cam. He shines in the worst conditions. Love when y’all work together…
Love it when you and Paul do a video together! Glad Lizzy can feel her feet again. Running on empty for a lot of miles, nice to make the gas station. Awesome recovery, thanks for sharing!
Liz, at 10:51 that is how you drive in the snow. However you do NOT stop like you did at 11:02, the resistance from that much snow will help you stop if you need to stop so if your worried about getting stuck dont slow down.
Don't think alot of people realize how badass the kinetic ropes are. Of course Matt is a fabrication wizard and lizzie/rudy excellent welders... but I've done a few very difficult muddy recoveries myself and static winch lines/tow straps are a crapshoot at best. Torque wins the day with that, if it doesn't dig you into a hole yourself. Those kinetic ropes stretch and build up their own torque and almost bounce the tires out of the rut. Invaluable!
With some of the snow recoveries like in this one, it looks like a set of normal winter tires would have been enough for the stuck vehicle to not getting stuck in the first place. (And for the recovery vehicle to have a way easier time)
That was funny, Lizzie is freezing and Matt with a shirt sleeve shirt on. Mind over matter, the matter that Lizzie is cold and Matt is not. Thank you for a snowy chilly video.
I sail on Lake Superior. A fellow sailor and friend wears a t-shirt and shorts all year. I’m fully dressed up with waterproof gear. The water is COLD. It’s certainly mind over matter!
As a guy from the midwest I can drive in snow, been doing it since I was 16,in Illinois Missouri,Kansas,and Oklahoma, and in mostly 2 wheel drive cars,and trucks. I got me a 4x4 now and go around the neighborhood helping stranded folks get up the hills to their driveways!
Just watching Matt in short sleeves makes me cold in me heated home. Lizzie made it through with frozen feet till the end saying "I can feel my feet!" Great job with "O miles till Empty" on the gas gage.
I’m old enough to have been on and lived through a few recoveries like this. It’s an experience like none other. I really enjoy these video’s. Fun and entertaining. It’s going to be interesting when Matt puts some tracks on one of his vehicles. Casey LaDelle is having a good amount of success with his tracked JEEP. Also going to be interesting to watch Paul give the wrecker some much needed love. You can bet Paul is going to turn the old wrecker into a beast of a workhorse.
Did you watch the video in which Paul says some of what he's going to do to the old wrecker? An automatic transmission for one, & i believe he said he's going to replace what's under the hood with a 400.
@@timothygeiger8271 yeah, I know he has some major upgrades scheduled. Still waiting on some parts. And now he knows the Windsheild wiper motor needs replacing.

Watching this video brought back memories of getting stuck in the snow out in the middle of No Where and how cold and miserable it was!!! All of you guys and girls are awesome!! I know this in my bones! God bless you all. Thank you for sharing.Please stay safe everyone!! Jim
matt is on another level in cold weather 🤣he is wet in the snow with a short sleeves cloth and spend a lot of time in the snow and he i didnt even see he shivering.
I just love this off road recovery community! Always willing to come out and help each other and it seems like everyone is in a good mood. Wow, how refreshing! This video made me so cold, I threw another log on the fire. Just think, yesterday it was about 70ish out here and today it is snowing like a big dog!! And tomorrow it should be about 65 and sunny. Awww, looks like spring in New Mexico. Ya'll stay warm and dry!!
Let’s see. Blowing snow and cold, getting stuck, snowing even harder, complications, Lizzie bangs her knee and can’t feel her feet and just laughs. Through it all, you all seem to have So. Much. Fun! This was one was one of my favorites. You folks are an inspiration, and I appreciate how you all work together with such a positive attitude.
Matt reminds me of my father. The cold never bothered him. I remember cutting cordwood at -20 degrees F and he was wearing a flannel shirt, jeans, boots and gloves and was comfortable. He always told me that you have to get it straight in your head that it isn't cold. Never worked for me.
@@groggysword33 people who have the ability to withstand the cold by mentally blocking it out need to be even more careful. Had a coworker lose 6 toes because he didn’t realize how cold he really was and stayed out way to long. Doubt he even owned long sleeve shirts or a pair of pants. He was built like a polar bear though.
That strategy works great, until it doesn't. These guys get stuck on the mountain one night, and Matt falls asleep in his wet blue jeans, he may not wake up.
Lizzy commented very early on in these 1664 comments that the call came in and they went out 15 minutes later...and she had been unable to go home and get her snow gear. Possibly Unce Matt's jacket ended up on Lizzy?
Great teamwork guys and girls Let me tell you about a great invention the battery powered impact wrench oh yeah stay safe and please put on a warm coat mat
I love watching your videos. every time I see you guys in deep heavy snow I keep thinking tire chains would make life a LOT easier. Living here in Maine I have a LOT of experience in snow and almost zero in sand. Spinning in snow melts the snow, and makes ice, spinning in sand just gets you more sand. I know chains are a pain to put on but you are spending time digging yourself out. Give them a try.
Lizzy, a lot of people who come to Alaska hate it, WHY? They get cold! The other Alaskan's know what to do! WINTER GEAR!! We either have all our gear on when we leave the house OR we have a "bug out bag" with our gear, (winter coat, boots, gloves, hat and ski pants or a ski suit) AND WE TAKE IT WITH US EVERYTIME WE GO OUT! Think of Everytime you have gotten cold and had a miserable time. (Experience) Just think of how it would have been if you some good gear, and were to have had your gear? Soo, invest in a bag to keep it dry, THEN USE IT! See, most people want to look cool, so they won't get the gear, won't take it along OR they won't put it on. Pride gets in the way. You make the choice. Matt, maybe put a hinge on one side of the tote box on the back of the sno-cat, make it easier to get the gear out. From Fairbanks, Alaska USA On to the next...
This was good but sad ...I've seen it several times, but this is the first in a year since last time...sad because I definitely miss lizzy's big smile and her giggles along with her happy /positive personality ...love you lizzy
Man, that was tough. Oops, lost Paul. Oops, wipers quit. Oops, out of gas again. That was a real multi part rescue. Good job! Everyone and every vehicle made it home safely!
@@rogerdunn5491 I know that but I think I hear lizzie say the car had been on empty for several or more miles before they make it to the gas station. Not sure which one she was talking about. I'm not being critical. It was a hard rescue! They got it out!
@@dukeflem She was in the pickup being rescued,sorry I took it that you were saying that they always run out of gas,because they don`t fill up. My bad.
I’m Aussie and If it’s 15 degrees I’m wearing a hoodie and a jacket and it’s below zero and Matt’s in a short sleeve shirt. Guess he’s just built different
What I extremely appre ciate about all the crew (Matt's Team, Fab Rat's, Trail Mater Guy, Papa Dar, the kids,wife, everybody that shows up on all these videos is that there is no cussing or taking the Lord's Name in vain, no sexual enuendeos, and no smoking or drinking. YAY!!! Good for them!!! Plenty of positive attitudes one and all! Now you know what I think.
Maybe that jacket Lizzy is wearing actually belongs to her Uncle Matt? Lizzy commented early in these comments the call came in and they went out quickly in 15 minutes so she couldn't get her snow gear from home....
We dont have enough time to fix it, It's only gotta last one more time. Said everyone who works on there own rigs. Awsome content can't wait to see the new tow truck build
I would not even think about not bringing chains when going to the mountains here in Sweden. Then I have spike-tires from start and 4wd. Chains a way easier than showel and winch :)
That's why Matt is always touching hot metal in the shop - he absorbs the heat and stores it for snow recoveries
What you don't see is the large bolts he heats up and carries in his pocket 🤣
That's hilarious
The truth comes out
Hahaha
Yup, and that is why Matt always 'forgets his (winter) jacket' ! Methinks his thermal nerve bundles are
KAPUT ! ;-)

True but I think sometimes she tires to hard to be said person.
@@-MOYST- tries too hard to be said person?
I see the same thing in Lizzy thay i see in Matt, genuine good person, & no drama.
Lizzie a sweetheart Matt needs to build her a Crawler
And fearless!
Matts built different. No sweater in the snow and not being bothered by it like an absolute legend
Lizzie - "it's only flat on the bottom!" best line of the episode.
That's what my grandpa used to say, so funny!

It’s amazing how Matt wears the exact same outfit for a snow storm as the desert. Great videos! 👍👍
He's taking branding a little too far
He should make a Matt's Recovery Hawaiian print, short sleeve to wear in winter, lol.
He has 31 identical shirts and two pants, just enough for one month. :)
Turning that truck around in that road man mad skills I thought I was good but these peeps on another level
Matt is the kinda guy I’d want as my best fried on speed dial. Such a kind heart and never fearful.
Lizzies good nature and chucklly giggles are so heartwarming. Even if her poor feet are suffering.
I love when Matt and Paul are in the same video. Right on boys!

Matt’s cold tolerance is an amazing thing!
I know!! I heard him explain why and how he does that but it still makes me cold to watch him! LOL!!
If you're working, you don't have time to "be" cold. As in sitting there thinking "damn I'm cold". You're just thinking about the job.
Quite possibly, Matt may actually be Chuck Norris in real life!
Well, he's clearly a viking, so...
30 degrees F. That is not cold! My definition of a blizzard is 200 yard visibility in snow, with a 30 mph wind and -30 F. That is cold!🥶
Lizzy is awesome, even when she's half-frozen or in pain, she's smiling and laughing!
Looks like Matt braved the snow & cold in a short sleeve shirt so Lizzy could use his jacket to stay warm.Good man there.Thanks for the video.
I have no idea what made the TH-cam algorithm recommend this channel but I’m glad it did. Now I’m addicted and haven’t been able to stop watching these videos over the last couple months.
The takeaway from these recoveries is how to manage your additude and maintain a positive attitude in horrible conditions. Great Job Crew!!

That teamwork is great between Fabrats and MORR!
4:48 The wiper bit is the best part. He sounds like Jim Carey.
I can't believe Matt could turn that truck around with those racing slick tires, that man can drive
and right next to that snowy cliff of death. so add balls of steel to the list too
Wow he had me puckered up when he was backing off the edge of that cliff. Nerves of steel.
Lord we love Lizzie! Great to have Fab Rats and Matt together.

Matt reminds me of my father. The cold never bothered him. I remember cutting cordwood at -20 degrees F and he was wearing a flannel shirt, jeans, boots and gloves and was comfortable. He always told me that you have to get it straight in your head that it isn't cold. Never worked for me.
Once you tell yourself it’s warm, you’ll be alright.
It really looked like the only thing that bothered him was the snow getting in his eyes.
@@groggysword33 people who have the ability to withstand the cold by mentally blocking it out need to be even more careful. Had a coworker lose 6 toes because he didn’t realize how cold he really was and stayed out way to long. Doubt he even owned long sleeve shirts or a pair of pants. He was built like a polar bear though.
That strategy works great, until it doesn't. These guys get stuck on the mountain one night, and Matt falls asleep in his wet blue jeans, he may not wake up.
@@davepg4173 never looked at that side of it.
And that's why I always carry my Milwaukee impact in my Jeep. I think I made this same comment on one of your other videos a couple of years ago.
nothing only love and respect for all y'all, one of the best go-to channels on the tube.
9:40 that ford sounds good ripping in the snow ❄️ sounds like a 5.0 truck!
Are we going to say what an absolute unit Matt is being in the snow the whole time with no jacket.
It's amazing.
I'd be frozen stiff
He's adiabatic! 😂
Lizzy.. It may be snowin, but you're a little ray of sunshine.
Can't believe how strong Randall is! LOL! Randall the winch point.
Everyone has their jacket on except Matt is the Ice Man there 👍well done on a snowy nite
Lizzy commented very early on in these 1664 comments that the call came in and they went out 15 minutes later...and she had been unable to go home and get her snow gear.
Possibly Unce Matt's jacket ended up on Lizzy?
Matt always displays great focus. He seems to mentally map out the steps for each job and gets them done, even while chatting with the team.
Matt tells Lizzy not to put that truck in a bad way then Matt takes over and gets that Ford stuck lol
Matts beard with snow on it ...... Just majestic
Well, this explains Paul's last vid, "we're gonna give pappa Sherm's wrecker some love..." Friggen love that guy haha.
Lizzy ur a trip lol !!!!!!
That snowcat really will b a dream when parts & work comes together ❤ !!!!
Lizzie at the end when she says she can feel her feet again cracked me up as you could see the joy on her face 🤣
Every Canadian can identify with her on this lol
Great teamwork guys and girls Let me tell you about a great invention the battery powered impact wrench oh yeah stay safe and please put on a warm coat mat
I love watching your videos. every time I see you guys in deep heavy snow I keep thinking tire chains would make life a LOT easier. Living here in Maine I have a LOT of experience in snow and almost zero in sand. Spinning in snow melts the snow, and makes ice, spinning in sand just gets you more sand. I know chains are a pain to put on but you are spending time digging yourself out. Give them a try.
I love Lizzy's upbeat attitude and enthusiasm!
It’s amazing to me how you all keep such a positive attitude while doing these jobs.
“It’s only flat on the bottom”. Truer words were never spoken.
Lizzie is delightful, isn't she? That WAS a challenging rescue, but, as always, a successful one. Looking forward to the next one!
Lizzy, a lot of people who come to Alaska hate it, WHY? They get cold! The other Alaskan's know what to do! WINTER GEAR!! We either have all our gear on when we leave the house OR we have a "bug out bag" with our gear, (winter coat, boots, gloves, hat and ski pants or a ski suit) AND WE TAKE IT WITH US EVERYTIME WE GO OUT!
Think of Everytime you have gotten cold and had a miserable time. (Experience) Just think of how it would have been if you some good gear, and were to have had your gear? Soo, invest in a bag to keep it dry, THEN USE IT! See, most people want to look cool, so they won't get the gear, won't take it along OR they won't put it on. Pride gets in the way. You make the choice.
Matt, maybe put a hinge on one side of the tote box on the back of the sno-cat, make it easier to get the gear out.
From Fairbanks, Alaska USA
On to the next...
Yet another great video! I love the "cross-over" videos. It's great having good friends that will answer the call for help at the drop of a hat.
Always good to see nature helping out by continually adding snow to make sure the content is good.
There are these things called tire chains ! That work good in snow!
Definitely my wiki snowcat snowboard TREK. GET SOME.
Lizzie is a class act. Always just jumps in and does what ever it takes. With s smile to boot. Thanks for the video's.
so cool how you all call each other to help out...channels been a go to for yrs now. Oh,,and lizzy needs a raise.
All those miserable conditions and everyone stays happy and smiling. You guys are amazing.
This was good but sad ...I've seen it several times, but this is the first in a year since last time...sad because I definitely miss lizzy's big smile and her giggles along with her happy /positive personality ...love you lizzy
Man, that was tough. Oops, lost Paul. Oops, wipers quit. Oops, out of gas again. That was a real multi part rescue. Good job! Everyone and every vehicle made it home safely!
Matt wasm`t out of gas the customer was, and Matt even brought gas.
@@rogerdunn5491 I know that but I think I hear lizzie say the car had been on empty for several or more miles before they make it to the gas station. Not sure which one she was talking about. I'm not being critical. It was a hard rescue! They got it out!
@@dukeflem She was in the pickup being rescued,sorry I took it that you were saying that they always run out of gas,because they don`t fill up. My bad.
As much as these guys know about maneuvering 4WDs in snow, I marvel that they go into deep snow without first chaining-up.
I’m Aussie and If it’s 15 degrees I’m wearing a hoodie and a jacket and it’s below zero and Matt’s in a short sleeve shirt. Guess he’s just built different
He brought a coat but it ended up on lizzie. Dads are built different.
I got warm clam chowder at home - pretty excited about that…. 🤣
What I extremely appre ciate about all the crew (Matt's Team, Fab Rat's, Trail Mater Guy, Papa Dar, the kids,wife, everybody that shows up on all these videos is that there is no cussing or taking the Lord's Name in vain, no sexual enuendeos, and no smoking or drinking. YAY!!! Good for them!!! Plenty of positive attitudes one and all! Now you know what I think.
Which is rare that’s why they have a great fan base they do good work and have the attitude to match it!
God damn it, we need more fuckin' cock sucking swear words up in here.
I think Matt isn't human. I would be so cold that I probably wouldn't be able to talk without biting my toung.
Enjoyed this episode.
Maybe that jacket Lizzy is wearing actually belongs to her Uncle Matt?
Lizzy commented early in these comments the call came in and they went out quickly in 15 minutes so she couldn't get her snow gear from home....
8 minutes up and over 3,000 views, just shows what’s important on a Friday.
Cheers Matt and team.
Yup! 8:45 am cst and it's 11,785 views!! 😀
24k, 40 minutes in.
You should get some snowchains for your trucks. The chains are just awesome for getting traction on ice and packed snow.
We dont have enough time to fix it, It's only gotta last one more time. Said everyone who works on there own rigs. Awsome content can't wait to see the new tow truck build
I would not even think about not bringing chains when going to the mountains here in Sweden. Then I have spike-tires from start and 4wd. Chains a way easier than showel and winch :)
Matt turning that F-150 round on trail, nerves of steel !! wowwwww
