    After 30+ years of desert wheeling, things I have learned from Matt:
    1. Kinetic ropes are the shizz
    2. NEVER unhook the trailer
    3. Corvairs are good for something other than chicken coops

    I'm sharing this little story because I appreciate this channel and the work you guys do so much!
    My parents, my brother, and I used to go on long road trips over the summers in our truck + fifth wheel. Way back before GPS was as good and user-friendly as it is now, my dad decided to take a sketchy road in California that was definitely not suitable for such a long rig. No guardrails, one lane, unpaved, no cell service, and it was hot, hot, hot. At one point, while inching along on a curve, the road crumbled under the tires on the fifth wheel and my dad had to gun it to keep us from all following the trailer down into the valley. There wasn't anywhere to turn around, not even at the bottom where we came to a narrow bridge that we couldn't even pass because we were too long. I'll spare some of the other details, but we ended up being able to call a tow service to rescue us. There was no way he could tow us out, so that amazing man backed up the entire rig all the way back to the main road, including the same spot where the road gave way. I'm sure my dad paid a pretty penny that day, but I've never seen him so thankful in all my life. Keep up the amazing work, y'all!

      Each part of the US has its own beauty. As a West coast resident I will say the scale of the landscape out here is amazing. Large desert basins that span tens of miles, enormous granite mountains and their associated valleys and rivers, and the vast coastline of the Pacific. It's all so big it makes you feel so small. I mean, driving hours in a West coast state leaves you in the same state most of the time. If you start at the Southern tip of California you have to drive 12 to 14 hours straight just to get the the Northern border!

    You’re so right about that trail and one of the most beautiful parts of Utah ! There’s a spot in between Bicknell and Torrey where the ranchers fence goes straight over an old rusted car out in the field !
    In the 70’s , even the road between Escalante and Boulder was not paved and I was up there in my Datsun pick up in grader ruts half as deep as the truck ! The Aspens were beautiful.
    The traverse took about 2 hours more than I expected!
    I’ll never forget the first time I sunk a tire in that red powder and got stuck on our picnic . Out of the blue a young guy showed up in a rusty old Farm Pick-up , lassoed my bumper with a sisal rope and pulled us out.
    That Utah hospitality kept good memories of that trip alive in my mind and when I saw you guys on that razorback it all came back !

    One of the simpler videos you've released but for some reason it's one of my favorite recovery episodes. Might have been the 12-hour round trip aspect and your camaraderie as four friends (and family).
    I agree too with HighLonesomeRob... and although I've not yet found the need to use it (not in the recovery biz) yet, K.R.s are the shizz! It is near-miraculous how with the right tug the stuck vee-hickular just pops right up and out. 'MAZIN'. Always like Corvairs, having been a youth during their production. Just not seen too many wagons.

      completely different cars and crew experience. that costs a lot. Matt said in one video that most of the offroad people who gets stuck are helped by others successfully, and do not need company help. unless those borked razors with ripped off wheels :D
      So probably not enough work for most companies to be wort it to do offroad stuff? Actual towing and recovery on road is "always on job" comparatively. at least the guy I know, who towed my stuff, said he has never lacked any work to trailer broken down or crashed cars (works with small platform truck and an suv for different jobs).
