8:35... yea, Im thinking he’s not a fan of heights. That one trail about a month ago they took the corvair on, he had Rudy drive the whole time was which was cliffy too.
I just climbed that hill how in the world did you guys have a successful recovery and film it at the same time without anybody getting hurt. GREAT JOB.
Came here to comment nearly the same thing. I can't remember I've ever even seen Matt flinch at some pretty sketchy rescues. This one must have been a pucker factor over 9000.
Hence the reason that no one wanted to back the vehicles down the slope..lol FREAKIN SCARY!! I would have to say that, that is not a place someone would want to just go drive around at everyday..lol, as I bet most people do not go back there again!
I've legitimately watched every single video, and I've never seen Matt make that face. That guy they saved is lucky to be alive after attempting to do that alone.
@@clvrswine legitimately: adverb: in a way that can be defended with logic or justification; fairly. "nobody can legitimately argue that he didn't pay his dues" Since I've actually watched these videos through, and not just had them running in the background, I'd say the word qualifies.
@@trentvlak how? Are you saying you have previously seen that look of fear on Matt's face? That life wasnt in danger at all? That the jeep wouldn't have rolled 1000 foot down the mountain with one accidental slide? Or, are you just saying you want to be a dick in TH-cam comments?
Looking at the way they were walking and the car close to the top seemed almost 45 degrees which is crazy. Looking at the video made me nervous for them.
Outstanding recovery! I could see Matt's look of concern coming up that steep hill. That Morvair showed just how capable it is. An awesome build for sure!! Y'all work together like a well oiled machine 💯🇺🇸. I'm envious of the entire crew to have such an amazing job..
The Jeep being rescued really can't cope with this terrain... which is why it got into trouble in the first place..... and Rudy is driving it.....and is attached by a long rope... Matt's not a really happy chappie in the Morrvair.... concerned about the steepness and the high gear ratio in the transfer case... plus the space for both vehicles to turn around at the top..... Perfectly rational emotions.........
was up there last Feb. I saw that hill and I was like nope. I don't have front lockers, only rear lockers, and I'm not sure my truck has enough HP to make it up that. Cause if you don't make it, you are backing your way down. Turning around on that steep hill wasn't really an option.
Lindsey's remarks are priceless! Aside from that I hope they charge these guys big dollars to rescue them. Just because you own / rent a 4-wheel drive doesn't mean you can go anywhere. The little brain in the back of your head says this might not be a good idea you might want to listen to it! If it's scared Matt that gives me an idea that those other guys didn't have a clue.
I almost rolled my Jeep on something like this when I failed and tried backing down. Anyone with half a brain knows situations like this are scary as hell. Glad to see you guys being safe.
This is the scariest video I've watched of yours! I've been in similar situations and it definitely gets you puckered, white knuckled, and your heart beating out of your chest. Crazy how capable that Corvair is.
Man, Matt...for all the videos I have watched, this is the first time I ever saw a look of real concern when you were towing Rudy up that! I am assuming they renamed that " Insanity Hill ! ".. :-) NICE job and everyone is safe!!
If the inclinometer was maxed out past 35 degrees they were on a 70%+ grade. Most military off road vehicle specs max out at 60%. That’s bleepin steep.
Great work Matt and crew!! Exploring in a 4x4 is a lot of fun but some people dont have enough experience to be going places like this and just dont realize it until they get into trouble.
Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your channel. Wow thats what you call a cliffhanger. Insane how steep those hills were. And WOW the views. I've been to Bryce and Zion. Those views from where you were are magnificent. Every bit as breathtaking as any place in Utah.
I came to say this same thing! seen him do hairy stuff, but never had a look of fear in his eyes. Possibly, in part, due to driving the less familiar MORRVAIR instead of the banana?
I think this time Matt was wishing he had a heavy lift Helicopter for this recovery. It took everything Matt and Rudy had in them to complete this recovery successfully, total professionals in the midst of pure terror they stayed focused and got the job done. Excellent job MORR team.
I never thought to actually descend a mountain with the transmission in reverse. With an automatic it can just slip in the torque converter I guess, but if that gets you down a hill in one piece then it's worth the wear and tear. Thanks for sharing the video!
I'm glad y'all get so many calls, it's made for a great afternoon. I'm really glad that they're not usually too bad of situations. Edit* that last one was a little sketchy but I understand 100% why anyone would want to get up there. Sheesh what a view. We don't have that here in upstate NY. Thanks for the ride along.
So the first section of that road is a 400ft rise in ~500 ft, which is ~38.7°. The point where he got stuck to the top is a ~500 ft rise over 400ft run, which is ~51.3° angle. Source, utah geological survey maps for elevation and scaling. Then run rise over run for grade, then inverse tangent for percentage. Easily could tell how sketch it was due to Matt's face.
@@tsd560ti6 and how would you know the measures 400ft and 500ft if you do not research and look for them in a map?? And atan (400/500) is not the same as atan (80/100) ??
I got my 4 seat Can Am stuck sideways on a nasty sidehill outside of Vegas about 6 months ago and this reminds me of it. I sent a photo to my dad and he was super confident we'd get it out easy. His XJ couldn't even make it up traction was so bad and he quickly realized the photo didnt do it justice. Took 3 UTVs with winches hooked up to each other to prevent being pulled down this huge wash. Been offroading all my life, but nature can humble you real quick. Great videos as always.
Having been on steep hills hunting and off roading for 55 years, that is so very much steeper than it looks on video. Absolutely awesome. Great job! Nothing else to say!
Another note, years ago I was in Marine SAR and have seen the look on faces when folks figured they were going to die. The look on Matts face was pretty damn close, he justifiably concerned.
Insane you guys! Binge watching these and every 3rd or 4th video is like “that’s the sketchiest thing I’ve ever seen!” I love this channel. Great crew.
Glad to see the corvair doing it's first official recovery and also good morning everyone happy Friday and good luck to those who're fishing this weekend :)
I've been up on a climb like that before, by myself, and I can even see Matt's heart racing! I so know that feeling too well! But could only imagine having to be responsible for everyone else too! Great job!!
Food for thought...Maybe time for an on-board pump so you can air down more than you have a way to air back up. GREAT video, great scenery and incredible area you guys are in to enjoy the outdoors. As always.. you got em' out !
This is the first time I've seen the team legitimately scared instead of having fun. With how steep that hill looked on camera, I can't even imagine the reality!
The way they are struggling to WALK up the hill, it looks like they are trying to climb a ladder. They got hooked up to the Jeep and started pulling and the 'Vair started to slide forward. Great video!
I've never been in a rubber tired machine on that steep of a grade, but I've pipelined across several different mountains east of the Mississippi River that were stepper. You boys work well together. Always remember be thy brothers keeper.
I've not seen a Corvair since the seventies, other than on this channel, I was well aware of it's set up back then, but had no idea regarding it's incredible suitability for this kind of purpose. That's one well designed piece of equipment Matt built.
Lizzies look of relief at 2:30 as well as Matts white knuckles and the look on his face , is all the inclinometer that I need. Scary even sitting here at my desk.
Yes, glad Matt had Rudy get into that Jeep, but do think that if Matt had asked Lizzie to do so, she would have without complaint or argument.She knows that Matt knows her capabilities and wouldn`t ask her to do anything she wasn`t ready for.
@Crus Harold Yes I`m aware she is new to the recovery job, and Matt would never put her in ANY situation that she was not ready for, and Lizzie knows that.and if Matt had asked Lizzie to do so, she would have without complaint or argument.She knows that Matt knows her capabilities and wouldn`t ask her to do anything she wasn`t ready for. But there does come a time when the lead pilot says to the one being trained, --OK! You take it. Right.
Hey---I don't off road at all, but still love watching this channel. Why didn't you just back up? Is there some reason you can't just back up? You went up and down just 1 road, right???
@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 especially in that stock jeep it would just be not good I have a built gladiator on 37s with king shocks and I would not even try to send that road that dude had some balls
@@anonanon4109 Thank you for the explanation! I know cameras don't truly record hills, heights, and angles well...but I could see how steep this was. I honestly didn't know a car could go on such crazy steep hills without falling back!
The look on Matt's face at about 8:28 when he shifted into D to pull up that Jeep.... Man! That is one steep precarious hill there. So happy they made it out safely.
Oh my God - what an unbelievably, amazingly gorgeous scenery!!!!! The rescue was absolutely breathtaking - and my jaw dropped even further when admiring the land the Jeep for stuck in. Lucky people who can live there every day!! 😍
Damn that was sketchy af, you guys probably saved their lives. they had a guardian angel that got them off the trail in order to call you guys. Great Job!
That is one scary steep spot. When I go up the steep spots in the mountains next time, to gain my courage , I'll just tell myself, at least I don't have to tow anyone.
I swear, this is the first TH-cam channel to NOT tilt the camera to make a hill look worse than it is. I mean, half the time they're actually making it flatter...
I noticed that too! At 6:30 you can see the horizon sloping down a ton, in the direction that would make the hill look LESS steep, and the hill still looked steep!
I watched this twice when it came out. I watched it now a year later and still can't believe nobody died. That trail is insane. Hopefully your warnings have kept others off of it.
Man this video actually had me so scared I only could watch it to the end knowing that you probably wouldn't post if someone got hurt. Glad you made it safe back home. 💙
I was going to make a comment about the Corvair's gearing, but you covered it. I thought the engine, torque converter, transmission sounded like they may have been straining a little too much even for the steepness of the slope. I found myself holding on to my chair just watching the video. Good video.
I've been up there, to the radio towers anyway, and saw this little leg from the bottom and it looked incredibly steep and exposed. Skill was demonstrated yet again today, skill AND nerve! Well done.
Yeah, it's no joke! It even looks crazy steep in this video, which is a testament to how steep it really is! I've been up to the radio towers numerous times on my ATV and only made the mistake of trying to climb this hill ONCE! Got to about this same spot and bailed off to the side and dragged my 750lb ATV from the front to point it back downhill. If you've ever hiked this hill, you know how loose it is too. After I bailed on the hill, I hiked up the rest of it and was so glad I stopped when I did. There are a couple off-camber spots near the top too that I probably would have ended up "3 wheeling" and likely ended up rolling. As I was hiking back down, my feet slipped out from me 2 or 3 times without any warning and I landed square on my butt each time. I just hope this video doesn't lead some of these keyboard warriors out to this area to go "try" this hill because it really is no joke.
@@gibsonrocker17 Agreed, it's dangerously steep. For reference, and many others have pointed this out, if a seasoned veteran looked spooked that's your sign to stay away!

This might be the first time I saw fear in Matt’s eyes going up that hill pulling the jeep. Nice job gang!
I was just going to say that....not sure it was fear....but major concern!!!
Maybe not fear but certainly concern.
He couldn't hide it 😂 job well done 👍🏿🇿🇦
8:35... yea, Im thinking he’s not a fan of heights.
That one trail about a month ago they took the corvair on, he had Rudy drive the whole time was which was cliffy too.
Yep, I've been following the channel for a while and I've never seen Matt that focussed before, it must've been scary!
When you see that look on Matt's face, you know this ain't no joke.
That's the first time I have seen that look. Not a microexpression.
That is what i was thinking.
Thought the same.
I thought the same
had never seen Matt this nervous before
So impressive! Forget the shirt. I would need some "So I made a call" pants after that hill.
Brown ones
I just climbed that hill how in the world did you guys have a successful recovery and film it at the same time without anybody getting hurt. GREAT JOB.

I'm sure he had teeth marks in his seat after that!

i was gonna comment that. He's so confident. seeing him scared made it real
Agreed. He is normally unfazed...
Was coming to the comments to say the same thing. Never seen that level of concern on his face; dare I even say scared?
Ditto!
The drone shots really captured the steepness of that rescue. Great job!
Use a plumb bob to show the difference between the B pillar and vertical
The only thing off-road that still spooks me is backing down a failed hill climb, good job Matt.
I agree. Still gives me the creeps
FACTS!
For sure.
Yes sir!!!
when another offroad legend shows up in the comments
I don't think I have ever seen that look of concern on Matt's face when he was pulling the Jeep up the hill
Wow, that anxious look made me anxious, a first one
He was definitely white-knuckling it
Same exact thing I was thinking.
I was going to comment with the same thing!
Yeah, the pucker-factor on this one was at least a 7 out of 10 for Matt... 17 out of 10 for the average human.

Capturing how steep a hill is on camera is near impossible. And yet, this looked STEEP, even on camera! I can only imagine how steep it was in person.

A testament to the camera work that everyone got to see the look on Matt’s face and saw how serious it was.
Definitely gripping the seat!😀
I have never seen concern on Matt's face until he had to pull that up. Crazy!
I agree.
REALLY & TRUELY...THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT FORTH...
THAT COMMENT WAS IN REGAURDS TO THE CAMERA WORK
The Corvair is so damn impressive! What a world class build, kudos to everyone that had a hand in putting that machine together.
And there’s a fabulous fabricating rat that can help Matt put lower gears on it.
Matt got a video on that build?
This is the scariest video I've watched of yours! I've been in similar situations and it definitely gets you puckered, white knuckled, and your heart beating out of your chest. Crazy how capable that Corvair is.
Just came across this video. This has got to be the hardest recovery of your list of recoveries and you pulled it off very well, what a crew.
The look of concern on Matt's face while ascending that steep incline speaks volume's about what was going through his mind.
I was thinking the exact same thing! I've never seen him look that nervous and I've watched almost all of his videos.
Camera might not show how steep it really was...but Matt's face did.
His face definitely says it. Also when Lizzy leans into the window you can see the angle slot better.
@@lolmybadbro7441 😁 pretty easy to get distracted when Lizzy is in the shot tho.
@@gthomas302 Perhaps I did just lose focus...🤔

Man... I'm afraid of heights and this episode gave me chills... Great job Matt and team!
This has to be one of the most scenic recovery the team has ever done
My thoughts Exactly Jaden
It was absolutely gorgeous up there. And terrifying. Gorgefying?
It would be nice to live there for that kind of thing , I might take a razor up there
Corvair just gave *Don't Care* a whole new meaning. That thing is an absolute hoss. Seriously impressive.
If the inclinometer was maxed out past 35 degrees they were on a 70%+ grade. Most military off road vehicle specs max out at 60%. That’s bleepin steep.

So far it’s the most serious face that I’ve seen Matt have!
The recovery price should go up in relation to the altitude and the steepness!! Good job Matt and team.
It almost certainly did.
I watched so many of these recovery videos. I have never seen Matt nervous before. Courage is being afraid and saddling up the horses anyway!
Matt (under his breath) "I don't EVER want to come up here again" Three days later he actually got the knots out of his stomach...
I love Lizzie's face when Matt told Rudy "I'm going to put you in there". That smile of relief like "thank God it wasn't me 🤣"

My iphone has a level. Stick it on the window sill, and you’ll know what angle you’re at!
can you provide the location pin so we can search it on the Google map?
Wasn't it the other way around, for example:

Seems unstoppable

@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 especially in that stock jeep it would just be not good I have a built gladiator on 37s with king shocks and I would not even try to send that road that dude had some balls
@@anonanon4109 Thank you for the explanation! I know cameras don't truly record hills, heights, and angles well...but I could see how steep this was.
I honestly didn't know a car could go on such crazy steep hills without falling back!
The look on Matt's face at about 8:28 when he shifted into D to pull up that Jeep.... Man! That is one steep precarious hill there. So happy they made it out safely.
I don't know how I found this channel but I've been binge watching the s$%t out of it.
It’s addictive, I’m waiting for every upload... 🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
You know it's time to get nervous when you see Matt's face looking like it was going up that hill.
graffix11us - YES !! Rules dictate that the pucker factor couldn't be documented.
Oh my God - what an unbelievably, amazingly gorgeous scenery!!!!!
The rescue was absolutely breathtaking - and my jaw dropped even further when admiring the land the Jeep for stuck in. Lucky people who can live there every day!!
😍
I only wish people realized how difficult it is to recover a stuck vehicle in these conditions really is, you guys amaze me.
Damn that was sketchy af, you guys probably saved their lives. they had a guardian angel that got them off the trail in order to call you guys. Great Job!
I think this was first time I've seen Matt nervous 😮
Bu it’s super pretty up here
Lizzy is like a modern day Daisy Duke; pretty, capable, tough, and humble. Every Young car guy's dream girl. You guys have an amazing team!
That is one scary steep spot. When I go up the steep spots in the mountains next time, to gain my courage , I'll just tell myself, at least I don't have to tow anyone.
I swear, this is the first TH-cam channel to NOT tilt the camera to make a hill look worse than it is. I mean, half the time they're actually making it flatter...
I noticed that too! At 6:30 you can see the horizon sloping down a ton, in the direction that would make the hill look LESS steep, and the hill still looked steep!
Of all the videos Ive watched you all do of recoveries, this is the first time I’ve seen Matt have a white knuckle moment, you all are awesome
The energy everyone has is awesome another great video on a very steep recovery
That Corvair is not only finding new roads; but as old as it is; it’s worth it’s weight in gold on those cliffs. Great video Matt!
Sketchiest episode yet... like watching a veteran commercial airline pilot scared. You know it’s bad!
Not a relaxing video to watch at all. Yikes!
@@CTSFanSam not relaxing in the slightest! Loved every minute though!
Yeah, this one was dedicated to Scully
@@CTSFanSam most relaxing video I’ve seen 😂😂😂😂😂
Those drone shots really show how steep that is!
I watched this twice when it came out. I watched it now a year later and still can't believe nobody died. That trail is insane. Hopefully your warnings have kept others off of it.
That corvair is a thing of beauty to see in action. Great work as always!
Aside from a vid of workers climbing a 600ft tower, this was one of the scariest youtube videos.
Man this video actually had me so scared I only could watch it to the end knowing that you probably wouldn't post if someone got hurt. Glad you made it safe back home. 💙
The 2nd time I have watched this episode.
Scariest recovery yet.
Glad ya'll made it safely.
Matt, you actually looked nervous! Crazy location!!!
As long as there are people who don't know when to turn around, Matt and his crew will always have a job.
No turning back on that hill! Get stuck or revervse
Sometimes ya just gotta turn around.
@@douglascarpenter5433 He wasn't stuck he could have went down way too easily LOL.
@@looseballs1966 He needed a shovel to get unstuck first, and then maybe he could have backed down, but it would have been hairy.
Dave...love your photo.
Another reason why I love watching all the videos is the landscaping! SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!
I was going to make a comment about the Corvair's gearing, but you covered it. I thought the engine, torque converter, transmission sounded like they may have been straining a little too much even for the steepness of the slope. I found myself holding on to my chair just watching the video. Good video.
I wonder how many 4-wheelers are saying, " Cool, man. I want to go there." (more recoverys next month. Let's hope it's not body recoverys though)
I've been up there, to the radio towers anyway, and saw this little leg from the bottom and it looked incredibly steep and exposed. Skill was demonstrated yet again today, skill AND nerve! Well done.
Yeah, it's no joke! It even looks crazy steep in this video, which is a testament to how steep it really is! I've been up to the radio towers numerous times on my ATV and only made the mistake of trying to climb this hill ONCE! Got to about this same spot and bailed off to the side and dragged my 750lb ATV from the front to point it back downhill. If you've ever hiked this hill, you know how loose it is too. After I bailed on the hill, I hiked up the rest of it and was so glad I stopped when I did. There are a couple off-camber spots near the top too that I probably would have ended up "3 wheeling" and likely ended up rolling. As I was hiking back down, my feet slipped out from me 2 or 3 times without any warning and I landed square on my butt each time. I just hope this video doesn't lead some of these keyboard warriors out to this area to go "try" this hill because it really is no joke.
@@gibsonrocker17 Agreed, it's dangerously steep. For reference, and many others have pointed this out, if a seasoned veteran looked spooked that's your sign to stay away!
