eric you really are an awwesome worker. but that guy in the jeep is an absolute slob and should not be left alone in the dessert as i think he has mental issues.
Matt's lucky to have Eric as 2nd in command, the mans a pro both at the recovery job and a pro on camera. I love watching Matt, but I'm never dissapointed when Eric steps in.
When it comes to a recovery like this. There's a reason Eric is in the driver's seat so technically he's second in command in this situation. And you think your a fan 🤣 🤣
@@RealJeep Matts explained it in videos before, Eric's job I think is to basically run the Towing side of winder towing while Matt focuses more of the offroad recovery side of things. He shows up on the channel when Matt goes away or for really big jobs.
"I'm not a hundred percent sure he should be driving ........" ...... Translation ----> I'm 100% sure he shouldn't be driving ........ Well done. And a wonderful display of patience!
Eric is quite the experienced recovery guy. Between the Banana and Morrvair and that huge rock, he and his team succeeded in righting the Jeep. Good job guys.
A tip from a guy that spent 20yr's on Puget Sound working with Danforth anchors. A 100lb anchor is good enough to hold a 100ft barge in 4ft swells with a real flat draw in 40knot wind. Completely bury the anchor in the sand or dirt, get the flutes buried completely. Leave the chain out or lock it in some boulders, hook a short loop choker to a block your looking at close to10 tons of hold. There is zero you will be able rescue of that weight. with your rigs to loose it. That anchor will fit in the back, or use 2 smaller ones in v shaped set. This is for a tail hold or a side pull block. Good luck on your adventures in recovery
I think someone is having an issue with deception. He needs to figure out the width of his vehicle. Just staying as far to the high side as he can get would have prevented him from rolling it and the other sliding-off-the-edge incident he had. lol. My advice to everyone driving trails you don't know very well is to get out and take a look when you come across a narrow area. Just pull up to it and get out and walk past it and look back at your tire width to see where you need to place your tires. And when it's a sandy area like that, make sure your tires are as far away from the edge as you can possibly get them even if you have to run over some rocks or brush, and if the edge is really soft and you can't get far enough from it, then turn around because the edge can/will collapse as it looks like it did here. Glad he and his dog weren't hurt.
I don’t know which is more impressive, that Gladiator’s ability to take that much abuse and keep plugging along as though it never happened, Erik’s recovery skills, or that guy’s ability to get himself into trouble. . .
This represents a perfect example of a “B” team that’s really an insult, because they are equally as capable as the “A” team. I’ve missed Eric. Great job!!
I'm glad someone voiced concern. Weather his recoveries after the first were just the results of being in shook up, injury, drugs, or some combination of them this guy really probably shouldn't have been driving. With that said I hope he's doing well
I'd been wondering where my fellow Eric had gone to. Guessing he's often doing the regular road tow jobs most of the time, but he often seems to end up on really tricky jobs when Matt is away. His skills & knowledge as well as no fuss attitude always impress the heck out of me. This was one of the toughest technical jobs for awhile I think, but it didn't seem to bother Eric at all. Great support from the rest of the crew too!
I liked his concern about the driver being ok and how he said I don't know if he should be driving, kept a cool level head the whole time, awesome work
It's Meth. 100% I have been around addicts for most of my life, and I would bet my life he's an addict. Hard drugs are bad, mmkay. He has meth mouth, his eyes won't focus, he can't stop moving around and his body language and look on his face and eyes are all dead giveaways.
Eric is one of my favorites of the MORR crew. Good to see him again and pulling off such a nice recovery. I am confused if that customer was just shook up from the accident or impaired or just a bad driver, but he seemed to really be having a hard time driving that day.
There may have been some stuff wrong with his car by then too (or it just wasn't really up to that trail to start with) - it seemed to be bouncing around way more than the MORR cars.
@@xxwookey Matt's vehicles are NOT stock or even close! But I think that jeep truck should have been able to get through that trail with a few bumps and bruises...maybe. Something makes me think the dude was impaired by something.
You did a great job getting that rig back on all 4 wheels. Please get all your limbs back in the rig when you are in motion. So many things can go wrong real fast and you will loose a leg. I like your videos and know you guys know what you are doing.
Great seeing Eric on a recovery, its been awhile ! He never fails to show his experience. I'm highly impressed he rolled that Jeep back over without any broken glass. Nice job 👌🇺🇸
@@grottu he could have easily prevented it from being smashed in the first place. dude went too close to the edge. id rather shove my jeep up into some bushes then get that close to an edge like that and cause a roll over
This wins the most interesting Rescue of the Year Award! Only experience could've done that. Well executed!! Eric is awesome & seems like a real genuine nice guy that really cares. Plus his laugh is great & his jokes are always funny. If he had his own channel I'd subscribe to it & turn on the notifications.
Eric sounds mentally and physically exhausted from this recovery. Takes a lot of brain work and contemplating angles to recover properly. Great job Eric!
Wow, that was a crazy recovery. Eric did an awesome job. When he rescued me a few months back I was in a bad spot and it took a few different angles to get me out without hitting the rocks but he did great!
The fact that that thing flipped back over and literally drove off speaks volumes for that vehicle. Trash talk a jeep all you want... That impressed me.
Eric look like a grand master of recovery. the way he use the rope and run the two winches is god level skills. don't forget driving the jeep open door with one leg on the dirt while still tied on the hook. still can finished it before 11 pm. also he got the old cowboy vibes when talking at the camera. very soothing and assuring. i don't feel worried for them at all. great work on the editing too, the soundtrack is enhancing the overall vibe.
I know I ought not doubt the expertise of these guys, but the leg hanging out the door gave me huge anxiety! One sudden move of the vehicle and that'd be the end of him walking. Brilliant work.
WOW! I am really impressed, I did not think that was going to be gotten out, and yes I am not so sure about the Jeep driver! Good Job Eric and crew! 👍💯
Is it time for Matt's crews to start boning up on equalizing hitches as a method for cobbling together "questionable" anchors? Why with enough of them they could have used that tarantella as one part of the system. Great video
Great to see Eric there; Such a cool cucumber and it doesn't seem like much bothers him- like he's seen it all. Cracked up when he seemed amused that the owner had the presence of mind to put the Jeep in park while he was upside down.
Wow... that's not how you are suppose to land... We were traveling through Hurricane UT on our way back to Idaho... it was beautiful weather there... we went to check out all the areas. Thank goodness we didn't need Matt's Off Road Recovery 🤩🥳❤️
Thank you for being kind and professional when people get caught beyond their abilities. So often nowadays it seems the world just wants to tear us all apart with every mistake we all make. That was an excellent recovery. Made it look easy, when at first I was thinking there was no way to go to get that out. Then again it was a Jeep so just getting 2 tires on the ground and it drives itself out!
When they show the jeep upside-down, it is easy to imagine anyone ending up in that kind of situation. By the end of the video, it is easy to imagine how that particular person ended up in that situation.
Great job on that recovery! Matt will be proud of all of you for all that work. I must admit that watching someone put their hand under that big rock did give me the willies. I can just imagine what was living under there! I think I have been living in the desert a little too long! Great work guys!!
Funny story: I was in a recovery class at Overland Expo. The trainers ask "What's the first thing you should do?" I respond "Make sure it's in park." They actually had to have someone go check if it was in park or not. It wasn't. It could have rolled down the hill when it was flipped back on it's wheels.
Nice recovery, guys. It's great to see Eric again on an off-road job. He appears at first to be a bit grumpy until the teddy bear in him shines through. Very knowledgeable about recovery techniques, too. 👍
You should stock all the jeeps with battery powered air compressors. That way you can air up and down on the go. Milwaukee has a few different size ones. We use the normal size one with a 12ah for our trucks and skid steers and it works like a charm
I miss the old recovery videos like this one. They still come up, but the difficult ones like this are interesting. Don't get me wrong, watching Matt figure out how he's going to put something together or Trevor and Lizzie working on something is fun too.
Check out Ron Pratt's channel. He's a heavy recovery driver in the mid west. Very well done videos and plenty that get very technical. He's the on-road (Sometimes), 18 wheeler version of Matt.
Awesome job guys! That was a good old, old school Matt’s off road recovery!! The new school Matt would have had 3 other of his recovery friends meet him there to help with the job!
Nice recovery!! That was a tough one and you handled it like a pro!! I'm amazed that it drove out under it's own power!! Great work and the camera man was doing a fine job too!!
This was a risky recovery to say the least and this was a remarkable recovery. I am sure that Matt is well pleased with this outstanding job well done.
Lol of course Matt was out of town! This could be one of the most difficult of the year. Eric and crew absolutely nailed it.. that guy was something else
If only people knew how to drive and where not to, have so much respect to the recovery crews putting up all kinds of bs from ignorant drivers . This was an amazing recovery with a lot of effort put in the dead of darkness and stupidity of the customer.
Oh -- so we finally get to see WHO TAUGHT MATT how to do recoveries - - - LOL !!! Well done Eric and the guys -- I think the level of danger here was 11 out of 10 -- this could have become a real mess if one of the recovery vehicles slid off the road - OR if that rock came tumbling down the hill ! ! ! Def one of the most technically difficult recoveries to date ! !
Looks like a good job for a air bag jack used in concert with the winch pulling. Put a air bag under the far side of the Gladiator and inflate to roll it toward the winch force. I love my land anchors and air bag. Great video!
Very interesting recovery! Sketchy but Eric got it figured out after a few trial and error moves. Great job .Eric! It’s almost like Matt planned to be out of town for this very difficult recovery.
I honestly never comment on videos, but this was too good not to comment on. Great job keeping it interesting but straight to the point! Matt’s lucky to have you to run his machines when he’s not available!
This is why i love Jeeps. Flipped it back over and it started right up. get a new hard top and some doors and theres 85% of the damage right there! I mean its definitely gonna have some character after but not nearly as bad as anything else! Great Job Eric! Love seeing you in videos!
My son's Toyoata pickup went over an enbankment, rolled 3 time and then hit a tree just behind the cab while on it's side. Sat that way overnight. We rolled it back on it's tires, daisy changed 3 Ford Super duties together in a row and pulled him back up. Pulled the plugs, cranked it a couple times to blow the oil out, stated it up and he drove it home. Jeeps aren't the only thing you can roll back over and drive home.
It's probably enough for the insurance company to call it a total loss. Doesn't take a whole lot and that side and there's a ton of sheet metal damage.
@@johndeere8594 About 10 minutes ago I was watching another video with a Jeep on its side. He had to pull the spark plugs and drain the oil that had filled the cylinders, to get the engine to turn over. I was surprised to see this one start that easily.
@@MrGaryGG48 they pulled the spark plugs and drained the oil to save the engine in the long term. you can start them right away but you're going to wind up doing a lot of damage.
Erik has such practical recovery abilities plus I find him so likeable. (As I have said before, he reminds me of Alan Hale Jr. as the Skipper on Gilligan's Island. And I mean that as a compliment. )
Probably one of the hardest recoveries ever seen on this show and Matt wasn’t even there
Well done 👏
Yep I think so too.
I thought the same, real tough job.
No way
Yeah, I agree, one of the hardest I’ve seen. I bet Matt will evaluate the recovery, and I wish he’d comment on how he’d have done it.

Eric is a measured guy. He gets it right with zero drama. He's Matt's senior NCO.
Looked like an impossible recovery, but they pulled it off, amazing work.
Yeah, they don’t get much tighter than this one. Impressive recovery.
Good job Eric 😃👍🏻
I might be missing something but isn't it really dangerous to stand close to these tensioned ropes and chains ?

I started off wondering how on earth the jeep end upside down. After watching the drive out I was no longer confused. Nice job Eric and crew.
How do you do that
@@simonjohnson7025 easy by driving off road
yes the owner of the jeep was a walking disaster, and should problaly take the bus next time
@@craigtuck1741 why would you wish that danger on all the other buss passengers ? LOL

poor Trekker😪
My thoughts too
If only people knew how to drive and where not to, have so much respect to the recovery crews putting up all kinds of bs from ignorant drivers . This was an amazing recovery with a lot of effort put in the dead of darkness and stupidity of the customer.
A nice surprise to see an episode with Eric! Been a long time. And his movie reference game is on point. "where we're going... we don't need roads."
Oh -- so we finally get to see WHO TAUGHT MATT how to do recoveries - - - LOL !!!

I don't know what is more impressive - Eric's skill or the fact that Gladiator actually started and drove out.

Yes unless one has done video editing themselves, the overall quality of this channels editing might go unnoticed.
This looked quite difficult and was very well done. Good to see Eric again.
Looks like a good job for a air bag jack used in concert with the winch pulling. Put a air bag under the far side of the Gladiator and inflate to roll it toward the winch force. I love my land anchors and air bag. Great video!
HEY! Good MORRning everybody! Thumbs UP to Matt's Off Road Recovery!
Not only a great recovery but a amazing job figuring out the maneuver to get it back over and back up on the path . 💪
Very difficult situation. You all handled it fantastically. Matt sure knows who hand the reins to when life calls him away. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting recovery! Sketchy but Eric got it figured out after a few trial and error moves. Great job .Eric! It’s almost like Matt planned to be out of town for this very difficult recovery.
I honestly never comment on videos, but this was too good not to comment on. Great job keeping it interesting but straight to the point! Matt’s lucky to have you to run his machines when he’s not available!
This is why i love Jeeps. Flipped it back over and it started right up. get a new hard top and some doors and theres 85% of the damage right there! I mean its definitely gonna have some character after but not nearly as bad as anything else! Great Job Eric! Love seeing you in videos!
My son's Toyoata pickup went over an enbankment, rolled 3 time and then hit a tree just behind the cab while on it's side. Sat that way overnight. We rolled it back on it's tires, daisy changed 3 Ford Super duties together in a row and pulled him back up. Pulled the plugs, cranked it a couple times to blow the oil out, stated it up and he drove it home. Jeeps aren't the only thing you can roll back over and drive home.

Nah man. Jeeps ARE the only thing. ✌😁
Honestly super impressed by how little damage there is considering what happened
I don’t think I would have started that Jeep.
It's probably enough for the insurance company to call it a total loss. Doesn't take a whole lot and that side and there's a ton of sheet metal damage.
@@johndeere8594 About 10 minutes ago I was watching another video with a Jeep on its side. He had to pull the spark plugs and drain the oil that had filled the cylinders, to get the engine to turn over. I was surprised to see this one start that easily.
@@bubba99009 insurance does not cover you offroad.
@@MrGaryGG48 they pulled the spark plugs and drained the oil to save the engine in the long term. you can start them right away but you're going to wind up doing a lot of damage.
Eric is the "man". I love videos where Eric is in charge. He is the pro of pros, he is an "Off Road Recovery Commando".
Erik has such practical recovery abilities plus I find him so likeable. (As I have said before, he reminds me of Alan Hale Jr. as the Skipper on Gilligan's Island. And I mean that as a compliment. )
