Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I about died at the flashback where Matt is like "We'll ignore that and just wait for a catastrophic failure in the mountains". I mean, he wasn't wrong lol. Glad you guys got it handled!
When I saw the thumbnail that's the exact moment I thought of. I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm glad it's in there 😂😂😂😂
We knew it was coming.
Ya. That was hilarious!!! Probably too soon to give him much grief about it right now.
😂
@@trentonschoonover766
Right 👍🏽 or it wouldn't be Matt's off-road recovery 😂🤣😳
I have to admire how their attitudes were in the midst of it... they all remained positive, didn't let anger, blaming, etc. take over. A testament to the quality of people they are and the type of family life that Matt and Jamie created.
I'd be cussing and throwing stuff.
Matt strikes me as a guy thats learns from doing things the hard way. If you do things the hard way often if you tend not to get too worked up when things go sideways on ya.
I’ve never really seen Matt mad, flustered and frustrated… I feel his pain but love to see even he is human. Best of luck guys, things will get better!
Matt is one of the calmest, most even-keeled person that I know. A very impressive 👏 trait and much needed in a stressful business such as vehicle recovery. Matt is able to handle a lot and never afraid to admit if he's made a mistake.
@@jamestodd5018 I have a friend like him, and his father. Both don't react without thought, but they are Tennessee/Virginia raised. Maybe just a type of personality.
@@TRKISH324 so very laid back, I used to be like that in my early years and then somewhere around age 40 I gradually started to grow out of it, became more intense or hyped up and I miss it. Right around the time I married my first wife. Oh well, we were all born to experience change.
The trust between Matt and Rudy is so cool. It is obvious they have spent hours working together.
Rudy's whole life.
@@bucaru1 not all fathers and sons have a trusty relationship.
@@bucaru1 LOL, I was going to say!
@@MrWiseinheartIs Rudy their son? Just started watching. I’m still learning about everyone.
@@javiersilva1577 yeah, Rudy's Matts son ✌️
As an old sno-cat operator, one suggestion. Long ratchet straps. Wrap them length wise around the tracks to keep them on the sprockets. Good luck, love ya all
Fantastic idea.
I had an idea to wrapp the ratchtet around the wheel to substitide the tire.
also I heard him mention foam filler tires. they ride harder than air but are light years better in terms of maintenance and reliability. I will never have air tires on my cat again.
They don't have even T-shirts on that thing !!! You really think that Matt will have rachet Straps!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get off one of the wheels in the middle... And mount it in the back, to keep the track tight... (could have) LE: that thing has got a tensioner (big screw)
As a Canadian I'll share my mother's advice: when you go out, always dress as though you're going to be walking home, because sooner or later you will have to. You guys are not dressed to be out in -15C! Good job as always though.
No cold weather gear ! ????
Rule #1 when traveling in the north country be prepared to walk! Smart mom
That’s good advice.
I came here to say the same thing. It saved my bacon once.
Didn't look too windy though, always have a few candles in the survival bag . Crack a window light a few , surprised how much heat they make.
To Matt and his team, I was just in the North Carolina mountains on Sunday when a snowstorm came through and dropped 6-8 inches of snow where I was, but 20 inches 10 minutes south. My buddy's truck got stuck, and because of these videos I knew just what to do. Air down, traction control off so our lockers would engage, ended up having to tow him 2 miles down the mountain *I have 4wd and he dosnt*, used the uca to pull him since he had NO FRONT RECOVERY POINTS. Your videos saved the day. You guys rock!
Wow. Way to dig in and power through! It takes a lot of discipline to stay cool and on-task in situations like that, much less be self-aware and joke about it! Hope Rudy enjoyed his long Sunday nap!
It's not what happens to you but how you react to what happened to you. So, you just suck it up and make the best of a bad situation. Pissing and moaning will only make it worse.
Discipline? 🤦🏻♂️ Discipline would be fixing your tools. Making sure “catostrophic failures” never happen on the job. When a family with little kids are stuck and need to be rescued. Discipline would be filling up you vehicles with gas and keeping them full so you don’t run out of gas on rescues. Discipline would be eating food that wasn’t prepared in a gas station. This isn’t discipline. Lol! This is constantly having to deal with your own stupidity.
Matt carrying the sleepy kid to the truck was sweet. Even with a rough night he still shows his humanity and kindness for his customers and team. You all did a great job with a bad situation.
And do note - they remained focused on the task of recovering the customer's vehicle before they dealt with their scenario.
Did the customer give you Matt a tee shirt for his truck helping rescue Matt? 🙂
It's when everything turns to crap, you find out who people REALLY ARE.......This is my favorite channel.......Hands down!
100%, no matter what went wrong, you remained focussed on getting the customer to warmth and safety.
Rudy's "Cool Runnings" reference...you guys are, indeed, my kind of people.
I love the kid scene, & how they handled things professionally. I really loved Matt's speech about the cold. I could never put my finger on it, but that is why I'm like that. It's a mental thing. I love it, the way Matt articulated that concept
K, we'll stand both of you in the middle of a field at -40 with a wind, buck naked. See how you do.
Matt’s talk about thinking warm makes you warm is somewhat true but also a stretch in facts. If you keep busy and concentrate on other things then yes you don’t focus on the cold the physical activity keeps your core warmed enough that more blood can go to the extremities and you can feel and be warm in cold temperatures. If your not able to stay active you can think being as hot as you want but the body temp will start to lower, it will try to protect the body core by reducing blood flow to extremities, but as the core temp continues to drop Hypothermia sets in and you are done for if you cannot get warmed up.
@@wirefeed3419 I've worked construction for over 30 years so I've spent many winters working in the freezing cold. The heat is in the tools.
Seems like this episode of MORR was getting a little off track!
I’ll see myself out.
See that you do, boyo!
That Morvair is so damn impressive. From sand to rock to snow, it's just so all around capable it's nuts.
I am simply amazed at how versatile it is, and how well it handles that deep snow - without chains! I want one!
Well done guys, we all hit obstacles like this in life, you pushed through, stayed calm, did what needed to be done and you're all home safe and sound. Tomorrow's another day. Up and at em. Love the channel.
You guys are so calm even during the worst of incidents and just figure out how to work through the problem without any drama. It is nice to see you problem solve but part of your success is that you have so many friends and resources to call on that you never are really alone no matter how far out in the wilds you find yourselves.
I know this mishap was bad, but remember the many people your team has rescued. Without dedicated people like Matt's, there would be a lot more sad stories on the news. THANK YOU MATT AND TEAM.
For sure with all the idiots that since the pandemic think they want to go "off grid" or venture into the mountains with ZERO friggin clue as to what they're actually doing...I can gaurantee you that in the last 2 years his business has gone through the roof 10 fold..
Solid statement!
@@dieseldabz7104 i am one of those idiots. Way out in the desert . Had a bad drop with bike after endo. The crevice was a bit deep and wide. I dropped front tire. Anyways it came down bent shift lever. But also bent the stamped steel inside. It shifted up not down. Nothing worse than oops I'm in top gear! There just happened to be 1 soul out there hobby mining that had a 4x4 and motorcycle carrier. By car it was a 3 hour drive north and then out to I-40 and then down to Lake Havasu. My angel got a meal, a hotel, and a large wad of cash! My sxs friend brought my van up from Bouse to Lake Havasu the next day to pick me and bike up. I broke on the back side of Lake Alamo! Bad things happen. Equipment fails.
My lesson is that when lead guy is lost. Speeding up slowing down..... just turn around. I was paying more attention to him than crevices.
That flashback when Matt said "we'll wait for a catastrophic failure in the mountains" was so perfect haha! He knew it would make for an epic video ;)
Ivan would have cut a tree down, cut a slice of trunk off and used it in place of thr the tyre - No parts required!
@@Cheepchipsable wonder if you could just move one of the middle tires to the rear to keep the track tight? 🤔
Yeah, these guys are masters at setting themselves up for "shoulda, woulda" comments, they know what keeps us coming back!
And, the usual excellent editing with Rudy's icicle snacking, he's so chill.
In the words of Derek from VGG: "So, I decided to do the right thing and ignore it."
Well, it was not the track that went. No reason for him to have replaced foam-filled tires when doing track maintenance.
My hat is off to the whole team for finding a way to overcome all challenges, including the weather. Well done!
You actually had me nervous. The way you to handle catastrophe with such patience is very encouraging.
The fact that the Morvair pulled the Cat on a trailer through that snow is a testimony of its capabilities. That's impressive. Great video!
The secret of Matt being a human heater is finally revealed! The catastrophic failure happened sooner than expected but there is a lesson learned here: Morvair saves anything!!
It's sort of like how Eskimos do it. You stay out in the cold enough your body gets use to it. I'm sitting here in flip flops and a t shirt in 50 degrees in my office, I keep the heat off mostly. It's like if you take a guy from Florida thats use to 80 degree weather and put them in 40 degrees, they're freezing, but a guy from -10 degree Canada will be burning up.
Young grasshopper would be proud of Matt.
I find the best way to defeat the cold is to stay out of it!
@@cojones8518 Has ALOT more to do with your body mass as to why some get cold when others do not. Yes I'll agree that depending where you live your body becomes conditioned to that weather over time and that helps.
11:40 this is why this channel and family is so great. Such a predicament to be in, yet still able to be that loose about it, while still having your smarts about it.
So glad you all made it out safely.
As a fellow with some experience with tracked vehicles, all I can say is they're the best thing ever when they're running. But as soon as they even slightly break, they're the worst thing to ever be involved with. But you still got it solved, good job!
Rebuilding and maintaining work equipment is always the right call. I HATE to be in the middle of a job and have equipment fail.
dont think his would help, this was a tire failure.
That's not how you get a million subs youtube channel!
@@pear7777 Actually, a bogey wheel. They are solid wheels on steel hubs; the ones on our Tucker are harder rubber than the ones shown here. The tracks have a couple of drive wheels (one, in some designs) and a flock of those bogey wheels that set the shape of the track. Bogey wheels take a real beating and have to be replaced every few years in heavy use.
@Pear7777 Tire failure but Matt knew it needed inspection and service
@@pear7777 matt said it himself installed tires are way too old to be reliable.
I’ve watch this video more than once. It is action packed. So much going on. I’ve been in situations similar to this during my life. It always amazes me how your mind goes into a recovery mode and in many ways the elements around you sort of fade away. My mind gets so focused on developing a solution that everything else is secondary. This was a great team effort. I’m glad everyone got out safely. This is a good example of how quickly things can deteriorate. And an even better example of how important it is to stay focused and not panic. I want to know who remembered that the track had been left behind. I’m sure that was a fun filled “oh shoot” moment.
I’m just happy that you guys are pretty sharp when it’s comes to getting it done!
Safe and sound back at home.
Thanks for sharing this video!
This is what happens when you decide not to replace the tracks & decide to wait to it leaves your stranded 😂
Strange that we would choose the second option, but most of us do. Yep - me too, and I still don't know why.
@@flagmichael I did this before haha
You know you have a legitimate recovery business when you can rescue yourself. Well done!
No kidding right!?
It is incredibly reassuring to see your cool heads in action when things go badly. Makes us mere mortals feel like things maybe aren’t as bad as they seem.
Thanks for the great content folks!
Omg Matt!!! I had my husband rewind the part where you talked about the cold and how you perceive it! Holy shit! That’s how it is with ALL OF LIFE! How you perceive it is how it IS! It works for heat too! So when it’s 109 out there remember that! Love the channel! I just came across it last week and my husband loves it now too! Great job 👏👌❤️😘🥰
I lived in Alaska for 13 years. I worked outside for much of that, and Matt is spot on about ignoring the cold.
In 5F, the wind being perfectly calm was a big factor. If the wind were blowing any, Rudy would have really felt it wearing only that jean jacket. I know with blue jeans, it feels like you are walking around in just shorts if you aren't wearing long underwear.
Not always true. People like me who have cold urticaria would turn red, swell up like a balloon, go into anaphylactic shock and die. Once I put my hands in cold water for 3 minutes and had to be admitted to the hospital. Just watching this makes me uncomfortable. Glad there are people like Matt that can rescue us.
Bravo to the editing team for finding that clip of Matt seeing into his future.
I'm gonna say we were all on the edge of our seats watching how this would come out. Matt seemed like he had a worried look on his face- when he said Oh that's not good. Lots of scenarios running through his head, I'm certain. So glad that things did work out, with a long night, hard work, and good backup. Literally life-saving. Keep up the great work, MORR crew!
Great job not throwing the lag right away and thank for reminding me to be patient in these situations.
Rudy: "look at that cute little snowman!"
Evil red-eyed snowman: * puts a curse on everyone *
LOL
It was a snowdemon guarding the gates of hell! 👹
Just goes to show you there is no such thing as "over kill"
Love the way nothing seems to bother Rudy.
It is his Dad so he is used to knowing what to expect.
Great work on handling a difficult situation & making it out with everything intact !! Wishing Matt & the recovery
crew a very happy new year...
That was a great recovery! The customers were taken care of, with no damage to their vehicle that I could see.... And then the offroad gods decided to test your guy's fortitude.... You guys PASSED! Not everything goes easily in the real world, and some of the best memories are made with he though times.... Awsome job done well, by the Matt's Offroad Recovery team!
You asked for a catastrophic failure on a mountain in the winter.... You got a catastrophic failure on a mountain in the winter... Excellent work on both recoveries!
You guys need to bring warmer clothes along when you get into places that cold. If your vehicle dies, you can freeze really quick. Take it from a Canadian.
When that track screwed up I got that sick feeling in my stomach! (you know the feeling I'm talking about!) Sure turned out better than I thought it would! Thanks for the temporary sick feeling, keep keep the the great videos as always.
Thanks for bringing us along. I know times like these its difficult. you guys are a great escape.
This is what I'm freaking subscribed for !!! 😁
A team that is not afraid of showing both the successes and the fails.
Facts!
The true definition of "real TV" sometimes it's a win, sometimes it's a struggle. In the end it happened, and a solution came from it; right wrong or indifferent. Great video.
1:07 Turns out that snowman was the guardian of the area.
“It was all, ‘You shall not PAAASSSSS!!’ and trapped the truck 🥶”
"we'll wait for a catastrophic failure in the mountains" turned out to be foreshadowing, lol. In any case, you all are awesome. Nicely done.
Enjoyed Matt's speech on the perception of the cold. The mind is a powerful asset.
Rudy, you chewing the icicles while the bombi limps backwards just cracked me up. I am a fan for life. You all keep up the good work.
Goes to show on how when things go sour, there's a way to work things out. Got a chuckle out of Rudy sucking the icicle.
They work out if you have contingency plans.
A decade ago a partner and I were on Greens Peak (10,000 feet elevation, northeast Arizona) when the lower radiator hose let go on our Pistenbully - very similar to the Bombardier. Really - it popped off the radiator. As we looked at the steaming pink hole in the snow I opined, "What a beautiful place to be stuck!" Truly a gorgeous view. We put the hose back on (surprisingly easy) and I tightened the bejeebers out of it, then stuffed snow in the radiator until we had the temperature under control. We made it to the bottom of the hill before the hose came off again. We radioed in; the boss had a bulldozer clear a path and a mechanic haul it back to the highway. Turned out the hose was the wrong size... just a bit too large.
@@flagmichael great story!
listening him crunch icicles while Matt is stressing out and driving the snowcat was cracking me up.
Probably the purest water on earth!
Natures own Icy Pole(popsicle).
I am totally blown away at how well the Morrvairs tires work in snow… we don’t get it down here in Houston, but the versatility of that tire is incredible. I mean YALL are in REAL SNOW and no chains…
Perception of the cold is spot on, I can do the same some times, it takes much practice to control lol
Perhaps the best thing Matt's Towing can do is to educate MANY people about how to travel in sand, snow, mud, dark, whatever. And this was a classic example of what NOT to do.
"Wait for catastrophic failure in the snow, dark, cold, alone on a mountaintop."
Matt planned for this just to demonstrate to people ! What courage and dedication !!!
Yeah... that's the ticket!
And having snow chains on board when driving in winter is only something for cowards 🤭
The look on Matt's face when the track was skipping..EEk, I know that feeling and I could feel it through Matt's expression. Good work.
What really got my attention was his comments about viewing cold as pain. He's right, it's amazing how you can get control thru your mental attitude.
The Morrvair is one versetile beast. I was amazed at the way Matt and Rudy handled the cold. I need to start my training right away. I'm way better in the heat.
Cold weather makes every problem all that more possible to occur - maintenance is always a must and never overkill
The perseverance of you, your family, and your whole crew never gets old. Amazing!
Everybody is telling me now why on Earth I'm wearing a t-shirt! I couldn't explain it until I heard Matt's insight on how you manage cold. Again, you're a wonderful family! I wish your customers would agree to appear on YT on their experience. This was a tough one for all of you! I can't imagine what THEY felt while stranded in the middle of nowhere at 6F!
I have often wondered what Matt ever got stuck or had problems out in the wilderness. And what he would do. Well, I found out. Great job. And if I were ever to get stuck. I now know who to call. Even though I live in Illinois.
I wonder how many people have froze to death thinking they weren't cold.
Probably all of them 🙄😂
Lore has it that feeling warm is the last warning sign.
@@flagmichael and "burrowing" you go full rodent and try digging down into to frozen dirt. Which must be some kind of evolutionary hard wiring from when we were not as human like
Just before freezing to death, people often believe they are warm and will strip off clothing.
When the flashback popped up with Matt saying he’d wait for catastrophic failure to the tracks, I was instantly taken back to that video. When I was watching and he said that, this video is nearly identical to what I pictured would happen.
At least everybody made it out safe and back to their warm beds. Tomorrow we tackle that track problem hopefully.
Good luck y’all.
Me too!!
Now that's reality. It happens to most of us. My stomach sank cause I know the experience and it stinks. Great job in getting through it. It showed real skill.
I was at a baseball tournament years ago in Albuquerque and my grandpa had gone too. It was one of the hottest days but my grandpa wasn’t even sweating or looked hot whatsoever. He told me and my sister it’s all in your head to think cool. Ever since then it stuck with me and helps me deal with weather while working in the oilfield. Great advice
I’ve always said the same thing to my friends and family! You just have to “accept the cold” and all of a sudden you won’t be cold anymore!
Some Bioprene™ also helps 😁
I'm really impressed with how cool and calm everyone was. Just another day in the snow....we'll fix it tomorrow and all will be well. Thanks for bringing us along!
At some moments I think I was more stressed watching it than they were doing it 😃
@@-fakenews haha, me to...😅
It's just routine for them. Another day at the office.
Nice! Glad to see someone else controlling their body properly! I learned how to stay warm young. Neighbor had a pond, we would chop up the ice into small sections in the winter and see if we could make it across. Most of the time we didn’t. We’d be out in 20 degree weather for hours, soaking wet, and not cold. After a little bit, your clothes would only flex at the joints, the rest of the out layer was froze solid. Looked stupid as hell trying to run like that. Good times.
I cheked the map and you guys are over 3 hours from home on this job! Your edits are always on point with zero emotional drama so if I can imagine being Rudy (at his age) and having a "situation" like this to deal with; my dad and I would be at odds that would not be fit for public viewing. Another job well done by a family of problem solvers- I recommend that Hefe gets the extra borrito next time!
I always feel like I handle pressure well, and then I watch one of these videos and realize how much further I have to go. There definitely would have been plenty of bleeping going on if I was in that situation. You guys are role.models in so many different ways.
Since this channel has started , I have never seen Matt so stressed and concerned but he stayed focused and did what he knew had to be done. Much love to y’all
Suicide hill and radio tower rescues had him bugged a little too. Had me not watching and I was on the couch.
Yep go back and watch the first radio tower hill recovery. This was nothing
Amen
I'm not saying this rescue was long overdue, but I'm glad it happened! Your crew always makes every rescue look easy. But this one, shows your viewers that you're still human and sht happens! Great Channel, hope all is well with your crew!
When things turn to worms and you keep coming up with different 'fixes'. That's the mark of a real tradesman. Nice work. Never give up!
As a person who has experience with throwing track I know the pain they feel with this mishap. The worst one ive seen but was no part of was when we were getting our brads and support vics ready for a convoy in Korea. We had this trail from the motor pool that when up and over a large hill. At the half way point the trail turns 120 degrees upwards. A very nasty trail to throw track on. well the M88 of the company mechanics threw the track off. Thats a big ass vehicle to be throwing track and it was muddy and cold and it was on an incline... It was terrible. Took them a few hours to get it all back together. Then they had to drive to the destination and then If memory serves me they pulled pac on one brad that blew the engine in route and replaced it. Tough dudes an very hard working.
I often think to myself......I work in IT, live in the UK....but, love fiddling with old cars (and electronics) as a hobby. If I moved to the states, Hurricane, Utah, sounds like a great place to live, and, Matts team strike me really great people to work with!!.
Yeah, find a place in the U.S. where you can drive an old truck with bondo showing and fresh welds - someplce without a lot of rust - and you will find happiness. Don’t wait, sell everything and come here and join us! Your family back home will have a place to visit
I live in Maine, have done 2 - 2 week motorcycling trips in the western US and (on purpose) southern Utah was covered on both trips. Beauty and variety.
I'm watching your vidios during a very hard time in my life, and watching you guys dealing with your adventures just helps me keep going.. I just love you all
Hi Matt and associates: I am really enjoying these vids! Watching you guys interact with each other is very dear. I've only been to Utah twice, once to Monument Valley (blew my mind!), and a ski trip to Snowbird( wonderful trip). I have to come back once the plague is over because you guys (and girls) have shown me some scenery I have to see in person. I never realized how vast and how different Utah is. If I get stuck in something or if I'm hanging over a cliff, I'll give you a call. Thanks Matt!
Respectfully, hypothermia doesn't care how you perceive the cold. Be safe.
He will get a lesson on that one day I suspect
Not so much hypothermia, more like frostbite.
Rudy with the Cool Runnings line. AWESOME!!
That last bit about cold and perception..love it!
Sounds almost like Military Training.
Great episode ,Matt I agree cold is all in the mind, some years ago I was working
at a place where all came to work dressed like polar bears, looked so bloody
uncomfortable, I wore shorts and t shirt but put on cotton overalls to work,
dirty work inside ships engines.
Only felt a bit cold when the engine room went cold after the engines lost
their heat and I had been sweating.
Nothing more cold than a dead engineroom in a cold sea.
Even morr (😜) impressed with the MORRvair
Great work focusing on the customer first, and amazing problem solving. I really appreciate the lack of drama - rather than freaking out, y’all are so inventive and pragmatic.
Don’t know how I found this channel, but I love the personalities, and every rescue story!
Keep doing what your doing!
Wow, that’s why preventive maintenance is so valuable. But I’m glad everything worked out for you and no one was hurt
👍When things go wrong don't go with them.
He mentioned he wanted to rebuild the tracks but it’s the tire that blew. So unless your replacing tires every few years on a snow cat that looks like it’s needs the track off to replace them, I don’t see what could of been prevented.
@@Swissk31300BO He also said its likely a stock tire, this thing is more than a few years old.
At least check the tires yearly, maybe they would not find anything but maybe it was pure luck this didnt happen 1-5 years ago
@JM he knew the tracks needed tires/service he ignored it all knowing the wheels were old
"Nothing" is the most powerful adhesive. When nothing is holding something together, it'll never fall apart.
You are rebuilding the tracks now.
That's what i got from this video!
Thank you for sharing this mess!!
Dang. Team work makes the dream work. Great job MORR! Crap happens no matter how prepared you are.
-Dallas
For some reason I get such enjoyment out of seeing two channels I sub to interacting with each other 'in the wild.'
The problem is that they are not prepared!
Wow didn't expect to see y'all in these comments!
@@Lochlann13 Internet isn't the "Wild" but ok bud..
@@chrisforker7487 Yup.
As my dad was getting older sometimes a car problem would start working again and "fix itself so it must be ok". Many years later - yesterday I caught myself starting to think the same way but learned my lesson, stopped and just fixed it the right way. Glad everyone made it out of an extremely dangerous situation OK!
love the cool runnings reference. I feel like you need a winch on that bad boy. I feel like driving backward under heavy load with snowcats puts all the pressure on the back tire (being pulled inward) as all the weight has to pivot directly off the rears and the gears
What an absolute nightmare of a situation. I bet the tracks get rebuilt now. Glad everyone is safe and ready for the next one.
Man, those guys and their “oh, well…shit happens” attitude is amazing and inspiring! I’d be cursing up a storm and throwing stuff!
I have put track back on a idler wheel on a APC in Vietnam during a firefight and that seems better than what he dealt with here
Quieter here, I bet, but probably colder.
As the saying goes do not procrastinate
Prepare for the worse and always have your backups ready
It never easy or fun working at night but I like your way of thinking about the cold I'm going to try your philosophy on the cold I know a few people that have done this but never believed them but seeing you guy's working -2°F there must be something in this way of thinking, great video Mat and family.
I think you guys handled that very well! Rudy is awesome, he is the guy you want with you when you go through something like that.
That was epic! The rescuer had to "make the call" and became the rescued! Don't forget to give yourself a "Matt's Off Road Recovery" T-Shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They aren't high-visibility, so he would have to cover it up with something that is.
I totally agree with you about dealing with the cold. I live in Alberta Canada so I definitely have some experience. Most people stop moving in the cold to try to conserve heat. I was just outside in -2 (-15 with the windchill) in shorts, sweatshirt and crocs for about 15 minutes chipping ice and shoveling snow. The secret is to keep working your body to generate heat.
This is MATT'S RECOVERY !! so much fun to tag along with you guys, Rudy's calm, cool and collective !, Matt's tellin us I no longer get cold ? LOL ... and Jamie's a Trooper !, luc ya Matt bro 👍👍❤❤
I’ve always lived my life as we don’t have problems, we have solutions. Tried to teach that to my kids. This is a perfect example of how that mantra works. Good job Matt & your team/family.
"It's chilly"...** while he eats an icicle** 🥶😁
Thanks for sharing the bad day. None of us are perfect.
Good that no one got hurt. Rudy trying to help keep the track on and pulling the dead tire out was pretty sketchy.
That was proof that "self fulfilling prophecy " are real.
Love how you deal with the problem as a solution.
Now I will rebuild the track, no problem. 🤷♂️
Kudos to the whole Crew.
