Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
Thank y’all so much for gettin me out that day I didn’t know how I was going to get the boat out! Y’all rock! Tellin everyone I know to come watch your channel!
Was that a free tow out ? Just curious.
@@ajaj6784 Highly reduced price but they still pay something
@@ajaj6784 No way he’s doing these for free. If I had to guess it was a minimum of a couple hundred bucks. A drop in the bucket for someone driving that truck and boat. Well worth it.
I want to get stuck just for a shirt, but I have a off-road Jeep XJ so I will have to work at it.
@@infesting i’ve always wondered about the pricing too. Not sure why they don’t disclose that on the show. It will definitely add a lot of interesting perspective and content to each rescue. Certainly there is mileage computations as well as how much time on site extracting the vehicle, and all sorts of variables. There’s no way that there is a flat 200 or $300 rate of getting you unstuck. Now these guys that they randomly roll up on who are stuck, I would imagine that some of those they do pro bono, but some of them Have to be paying something. Anyway, my vote is to disclose the costs. Of course Matt may not want that disclosed to the IRS since I’m assuming this is a very heavy cash business. And I’m not passing judgment, I would do the same thing.
Rudy: That exhaust is hot.
Matt: That's my boy!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
The guy: We made a call
Matt: We also made a call
Did Matt or Rudy depending who made the call get a t-shirt?
@@Nitihene 😂😂😂
I like how Matt says, "I have an idea" then Matt gets in the car and Rudy starts pushing. I noticed the idea did not involve Matt pushing. It's good to be the Dad.
This is just the best & most addictive channel. Just real people being real people no dramatic cheezie over drama BS.
I like how Matt explains the physics of kinetic energy.
And he's 100% right.
Nice work.
p=mv
I was kinda hoping they'd use the other guy's truck to pull it out. Fwiw it was pretty well set up.
@@juddjohnson5200 dude....that's momentum.
@@xtanon5540 insurance purposes.
I love Rudy's reaction when little bro pulls up in his Jeep. Sibling rivalry is eternal.
Right? And then asks him "what the heck took you so long?"
Brothers. 😏
Get out of that before you get it stuck ! hahahah :')
I think it was more of Rudy being pissed off that is little brother could have easily got the Jeep stuck trying to drive over to where the Corvair was stuck. He's not as familiar as Rudy with the Jeep and much more likely to get it stuck. Imagine him pulling up to save the day but burying the Jeep right when he gets there I think Rudy was just mad that he didn't stay on the trail
@@masterbates7016 bla
It still blows my mind that the Corvair out there rescuing Vehicles everyday when it just sat beside a garage for probably 30 years being one of the most uncapable rescue vehicles to the most capable rescue vehicle...
But it’s just the body now, not the original frame or motor or drive train. So is it really still a covair ??
@@michaeld1906 nope, it’s a morvair and we love it all the same :D
It was overheating the trans just doing that,and it was not really working that hard,thats the price you pay for massive tyres without portal axles...
@@michaeld1906 As I understand it's a heavily modded Chevrolet Colorado?
@@geoffbell166 Not working hard? FOUR 40" tires buried up to the axles in sand with a boat behind it on a 90 degree day with the torque converter unlocked and just pulling for 10 minutes straight. Please explain what "working hard" for a transmission is in your opinion since you clearly have no clue what generates heat in a trans.
Whichever one of Matt's team decided to bring along MORR magnets to cover up the license plate instead of having to keyframe a blur into it later, you're a genius.
This is a dream job. Working in off-road recovery. Building custom trucks with big V8s and then driving them off-road and helping others in the process. Amazing.
Matt isn't really raising a family, he's training the next generation of off road recovery experts. And we thank him for that!
Matt isn’t JUST raising a family***
Thats kinda part of how he is raising his family
Yes. He could have easily attached the trailer back to the Cummings beforehand with the wench and a snatch block. But chose to make it difficult in order to SHOW viewers why you DO NOT UNHOOK when your stuck. At least that's what it seems.
@@fukkitful damn, I feel sorry for the wench.... I think you meant winch. But why did you make this reply on my comment? My comment has zero to do with how Matt did the job.
There's just something funny about getting a boat stuck in the desert.
That's what I was thinking.
Yes it is 🤣
Noah's Ark number II
I’ve grown up out in the Mojave Desert it’s actually a really average sight to see boats randomly in the desert
@@mybackhurts7020 I lived in the Antelope Valley Palmdale area, and spent a hell of a lot of time on quads and bikes in and around Red Rock and Jawbone. Boats? Never seen one out there. Why would anybody bring a boat out there? Maybe Lake Isabella, but there is no difficulty in launching a boat into that body of water.
"It's pretty fluffy" is a great way to describe the dry sand. 😂👍
I was so hoping to see you pull up in the Expedition for the save, Would have been hilarious!
@@iffykidmn8170 I've saved people before. On Tuesday i helped a city boy change a tire up by Kolob Reservoir. He'd been stuck for hours with no Jack in his rental car.
@@jilliansadventures4679 You may have addressed it before but do YOU carry a kinetic rope in the Expedition as well?
In FL we called it sugar sand.
@@jilliansadventures4679 You pulling up and saving Matt would be epic though.
The two dudes in the background laughing at themselves as Matt says, “if you ever get stuck with a trailer” is hilarious!!
Back in 1965 I did the same thing using a piece of parachute harness I still have, I pulled 10 cars back on the road between Sumter, SC and Goldsboro, NC when it snowed, using my 1954 Ford.
The one lesson I learned about 4wds in the snow seems to apply in the sand - once you're on the pumpkin, you're done. Just goes to show it pays to have a buddy on speed dial.
That's why you have maxxtracks and/or a winch when travelling alone, and use them before you dig a hole.
@@dubious6718 100%, not always easy to find something to winch from but capable minds can get to some pretty crazy places with just those two bits of kit 👍
@@masondegaulle5731 You can buy stuff that you dig and put in the ground to pull you out in the desert or on the beach. Like Deadman earth anchor. Just a blanket with 4 straps. Can also use your spare wheel.
Sand is it's own animal. It's more like tiny glass marbles than anything. I thought I could drive on anything after growing up in the corn fields in the Midwest until a little breeze in California humbled me real quick with a little bit of sand blowing across the road when I got clipped by a drunk driver... Yeah, that truck was totaled when I could have saved it in any other environment.
Pull pal is my choice
I liked how the white Ram had the wheels turned to the other side, but the Morrvair just kept pulling like: "Nope buddy, you are following me now"
Yeah I spotted that too. 🤔 Makes it a lot easier to understand how they get stuck. 😉😅🤣😅🤣
Yeah! I noticed that too! No wonder the dumbass got stuck!
I don't think owner was driving. Insurance reasons, always. I think the team member wanted to avoid getting too close to inside bank 🏦... Not that bank, the ⛱️🏖️ bank made of sand 🤣
The wheels return the opposite way to avoid the truck going into the brush on the side of the road
pretty sure that was Rudy steering away from the bank...
Just love the sound of the Morrvair, in fact everything about it …
It must take 2 minutes for the notification to get from the US to Romania 🤣❤️🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
Buried dead-man winch point? Crazy video, thank you again.
We all get stuck from time to time. When I get my wrecker stuck it is usually bad!
Well, look at this cross-over. You also have to pull some pretty bad, recoveries!
A legend of Offroad recoveries. One of the oldest channels for sure. I love your content
My buddy did a free tow for me never told the wrecker company then got it stuck in my grandma's yard that was a bad night
Rudy seeing his jeep come up with another driver was hilarious 😂
I have an old XJ and I can feel his pain.
Well if you had some floormats in the Morrvair you could have used those...
Lizzie is probably still vacuuming them out.
@RollinRat Because they're too heavy hahahaha
@RollinRat In several videos, the people they are helping have had them and it did zero good. I think they only work well in certain circumstances.
@RollinRat I think they would have popped right out with traction boards.
@@davidnalls8628 Maybe but even with the jeep pulling it, the Morvair was struggling, the sand was so soft it would have just sunk again with traction boards and no jeep.
Man, the Morvair is probably the most badass thing I've ever seen. The interior is amazing.
I like that you cover up peoples license plates because state hate is a very real thing. Usually the worst offenders have never even been to the state they hate on. I've met and heard people that bash different states from all around the USA, depending on where they live, seeking to have some false superiority over others but it all boils down to one thing. State hating is unpatriotic. Hating states is hating your country. We all have our preferences because the USA is big and diverse enough to offer choices and preferences. I love that you don't cut people down for getting stuck from where ever they are from. Thank you for sharing!
Something I leaned while bring 18-wheelers into doc for unloading:2 hands; the distance between your hands, as you bring them together, shows the driver where he's at and when he needs to stop.
Matt, you're going to have to design a wheeled skid that you can connect to the unhooked trailers' tow hook receivers, that will allow you to connect and drag using your kinetic. Then patent and sell it worldwide...you're welcome =;-))
Or something like a snowmobile ski to glide over the sand...👍
Wa thinking the same thing
Maxtrax, and probably others, already sell this.
cant make it too easy if you charge by the recovery per hour
Anyone else actually sort of Expect That now? Mostly since Rudy said "it's a horrible idea". Other than it being mostly uncontrollable.... what could go ... oh ... wait...
Thanks for always showing the temperature in °F and °C! That's really helpful
From one old tow truck driver to another, when possible in a situation like that try 90 degrees when booking back up to the trailer. Your pivoting one set of wheels out of the hole at a time.
Damn, that's a great idea! Gonna have to remember that.
He also seems to forget about winches way too often. A good anchor in this situation would have been difficult for sure, but enough rope to that Cummins and it would have been a piece of cake. Great content though! Keep it up 👍
@@prairiepirates1034 The best thing about a cummins is its ability to be a boat anchor in soft dirt!
@@login9804 now there’s a comment that deserves a free doughnut 👍
@@prairiepirates1034 That's what I was thinking was bring the Cummins in enough for the winch to get to, I know Matt hates winches but it would have been faster than waiting for backup
I respect and like that Matt's click bait is actually just a preview of the main event in his video's. So it's actually a preview and not click bait.
I`m happy Ed was not there to see that!!! LOL You have the best channel on you tube! . We like seeing a great American family work and play with no drama! Keep up the good work.
Need a sign at all park entrances that say "IF STUCK DO NOT UNHOOK FROM TRAILER"
A long time ago in the UK off-roading, I was a passenger in a Land Rover that was trying to pull another one with a kinetic recovery rope. We shot off optimistically (forwards) the rope tightened up throwing us against the seat belts, we stopped on the springyness, the driver pressed the clutch pedal (manual gearbox ) and we rocketed backwards out of control. Really one of the funniest motoring experiences I ever had. We did eventually when we stopped laughing 'got them out'.
Idk why but everytime I see the Moorvair in one of your videos I instantly get excited. It was a great idea to bring that car to the channel. 👍🏾👍🏾 love from Texas
I did wetlands work on the east coast for a long time. It involved alot of 4 wheeling in wet, swampy areas. We had a saying, "were you 'stuck' or 'inconvenienced'?" What's the difference? Well, I'm glad you asked. "Stuck" is where you had to call for outside assistance. "Inconvenienced" means you could extract yourself without someone else's help..... lol.
Every episode is an online course in engineering. The laws of physics never change, Matt proves this every time.
I self-recovered (in mud) my 1-ton Dodge Cummins pulling a 6k lb TT with a single pair of generic maxx trax. They are essential gear for solo 4wd'ing.
I too was curious about using some traction boards under the rear wheels of the Morrvair with that trailer. Seems like a perfect opportunity to use them.
Matt, You should consider getting a set or even two sets of Maxtrax my friend! Keep them in the back of the Morrvair. If you had one in front of each tire, possibly even just the back tires, you would have gotten that boat right out without needing to call for a second rig. They allow you to get traction while avoiding digging in just long enough to build the momentum needed for the pull. I spent 5 years in the deserts of the middle east and Maxtrax are an essential piece of kit. Love your channel, tons of fun, and a great crew!
He made a video once where he explained the difference between the sand of the desert and the sand around Sand Hollow. The sand in Sand Hollow is so soft (just like you would get in a sand blasting gun) that any traction will barely make any difference, because you can't get enough momentum to pass over the traction board without sinking right after the board again. Your best shot at not getting stuck is obviously big tires and not with a to aggressive thread, as less weight as possible and if you get stuck and have water nearby you can just get the sand wet and it will considerably improve the traction. When it rains (not to much) those trails are good to go with a lot of vehicles.
He's already been sent a set of them. Just refuses to use them
@@etiennebimier273 That's why you have multiple sets so you get to build some momentum. You're also then not burried to the frame, which also helps.
as my Dad told me, on the tractor on the farm:
'an ounce of momentum is worth a ton of traction'.
Indeed. I once got the John Deere and trailer with 16 big round bales on stuck in a massive bog, going up a hill. I thought we’d never get it out - but with enough momentum and a long rope, the little David brown 995 got it out!
Mass vs acceleration wins!!
Never unhitch the boat, I think I heard that somewhere before. Need to put the word out. Of course is someone wants to try on their own they will unhitch the boat to reduce weight. You just got to love that sand, very few people down know how to drive in it. Great recoveries once again.
Why some network has not put matt and his crew on TV is beyond me. I literally watch for hours great entertainment no BS from real world. Just wholesome clean family fun keep loading the videos!
If you put a producer on the scene they might be able to pull one customer in a day.
TV contracts usually ruin reality tv with drama and scripts if Viewership fluctuates. Matt does not worry about viewership. he just does his job and we enjoy watching it after a long day of work. (with TV, the audience is not always targeted. on youtube we can subscribe or ignore. but on TV you cannot ignore it and people complain. thus TV Viewership data ruins a lot of wholesome shows)
Believe it or not, Pawn stars on History was a wholesome real show before scripted drama ruined it.
Tv networks need to stay away from Matt and the crew. Modern tv ruins everything it touches.
I’m wondering the same thing it does not matter if it’s a video of them working in the shop or recovering a vehicle they are just so entertaining!
Just wholesome clean family fun, and helping others,, with NONE of the agenda pushing that hollywierd so currently embraces
I was in the Southern California desert several years ago and came upon some guys who had a rental Ford E450 based box van with dualies pulling a 5000 lb toy hauler. They were stuck in bottomless sand. My vehicle was a 4WD Ford E350 based camper van weighing about 9500 lb. The rental box van was 2WD. They had worked so long trying to get unstuck that the back end was way down in the sand. They were also in a turn. I have a winch on my van but couldn't get a straight pull because of the surrounding terrain. We pulled the combination to the point where the box van was up out of the hole. Sometimes I was pulling the front end of the box van sideways. In this case it did make sense to disconnect the trailer and I got the box van out and onto solid ground. Then I came around to the side of the trailer and used the winch to pull the tongue sideways and rotated the trailer 90 degrees from its original heading. What made it a bit tricky was that the tongue jack on the trailer was just a pipe with no pad or wheel on it. So we used a shovel with the blade under the tongue jack to act like a skid. While I was pulling with the winch one guy held the handle of the shovel to keep it in place and another cleared sand from in front of it to keep it from digging in. I had to reset a couple of times to get a better pull angle. In each case I tried to find a big rock that I could pull one of my front tires up to to give me some resistance to just pulling forward. After I got it pulled around I then pulled it forward enough to get it out of the hole they had dug. I then used their hitch in my receiver and was able to hook my van up to the trailer and pull it out to firm ground. All told it took about 4 hours to get them out. By climbing up onto high ground they had managed to talk to a tow service who told them they would come out and look at it for $800 but did not promise to get them out.
bla bla bla nobody cares
Thats awesome
Cool story, but I bet your winch doesn't sound like the Corvair.
That’s a good video about pulling everybody out, but what I was looking at was the scenery it’s absolutely beautiful with the mountains and the clouds. Looks like that part of Utah it’s just beautiful.
Steve
Zion National Park is very close to Sand Hollow State Park.
That's a good bonus of these videos and half the reason I watch also
They should seriously be sponsored by the tourism folks. Solely because of MORR, visiting this area is on our bucket list.
We are from New England, took a 52 day trip around part of the country. Happened upon Utah going from New Mexico to Yellowstone and we stayed in Southern Utah for 10 days in awe of the scenery before finally forcing ourselves to move on as we originally were heading for Yellowstone. The sights are hard to beat and hope to return someday.
That’s about the first time I think I've ever heard Matt seriously admonish a customer. Rightly so, certainly. The video clearly shows why, beyond a doubt.
what are you talking about? he didnt say anything bad at all, he just tried to help. you're seeing things that arent there bud
@@eefdekfifjef admonish means to warn...
He was just having a hard time with it. Didn't give the customer any more than he normally would, just expressing for the camera how much harder it made the recovery.
That was a good lesson for people you've been talking about not unhooking the trailers.
Whenever I ask a buddy if they’ve seen the dude on TH-cam that does off-road recovery with a corvair I get the best looks. Promoting you guys hard in upstate newyork
I love those specific instructions: "Ok, back it up a half of a half an inch," lol
Hey, I know it’s really frustrating when people disconnect their trailers when they’re stuck but I have an idea...just winch or use a come along to get the truck and trailer back together if they are close to one another still. That truck was 6-8 feet away, I think it would have worked but you guys are the pros. Love the show! Thanks!
yeah... they made this way more complicated... in a real (without being a tow company with insurance requirements) scenario, they woulda just backed the truck up and yanked it out with the truck or ran the winch and all their ropes out to use it as an winch anchor. I have a hard time believing that truck couldnt move the morrvair.
Great job...from Argentina...un abrazo
Matt, You like to think outside the box. You had two 4x4 trucks and the Morr stuck with the boat trailer. USE THE CUSTOMER'S 4X4 AND THE TOW ROPE TO YANK OUT THE MORRWITH THE BOATRAILER!!!! You know it would have worked (The yank-em line is the key!).
I would have never thought that not unhooking from the trailer would be the best idea till i started watching these videos. Yall have some great information on here. Its fun to watch amd i learn a thing or two. Keep on keeping on yall. Oklahoma is watching. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
We got a call. This week:
Ed is revealed to have been TopGears The Stig
Rudy reveals he doesn't believe in Santa
And Matt replaces all his tires with marshmellows
I can see Ed as the Stig.
@@rollinamerica I can see the Stig as Ed. Remove his skin like in Mission impossible to reveal a big white racing helmet.
I tried... TRIED to read that in a very bad Clarkson voice impression. Terrible XD
AND ON THAT BOMBSHELL
The best most unexpected crossover ever. Maybe we need to get the boys over here with Matt and the crew.
I can just sit here and binge watch all your videos. Y'all have the best job ever 💯🇺🇸. Between the Banana
and Morvair and your whole crew what a great life
Well, in defense of Matt, you didn't get the Morrvair stuck. They did, by unhooking.
Love the videos!
Kudos to whomever had the idea to cover up the customer's license plates with the Matt's Off Road tag.
Great way to hit two high spots at once!
Love the traveling music that kicks in 34 seconds into the video. Reminds me of the Blues Brothers.
"I don't care if you're coming to save us, get out of my rig!" - Rudy
Wonder once they get the Banana done if his is going to be next in the shop?
@@likeorasgod they have been talking about a new project right? I say its probably a 5 ton truck since they had huge tires at the shop like 4 videos ago. I wonder if that is on the list after the banana
he doesn't like people driving his jeep , that was his younger brother right? if so yes i never let my brother drive my car either
@@nathancilia remember they did the one show testing out that 5 ton in the dunes. Prob is the next project. We will just have to wait and see.
@@likeorasgod They had those 1700 lb axles delivered as well.
Matt's trevor impression made this video so much more enjoyable. Give Trevor more raises.
All the raises 🙏🏼🤣
The 37 dislikes are people who unhook their trailers
😂😂😂😂😂
211 now
It's sad that people would go to the extent to put a thumbs down 👎 but all in all its better than nothing because it still helps @Matts Off-road Recovery algorithm
In Australia when no trees are available to winch from we would dig a pit, place the spare wheel in it and attach the winch to it, then winch our vehicle free. Works like a charm.
If Matt's merchandise company made a 30-minute recording of the MORRVAIR under load, I'd be the
first to buy it. What a great symphony he has under the hood.
I have an almost identical boat, it’s closer to 5,000lbs than 2,000 LOL. No wonder it wouldn’t move!
what no way
You should make a "skid plate" to fit on the trailer jack and then use the "Y" harness to grab the trailer with the rope.
@@atubebuff There are these guys called "all4adventure" in Australia and they have something like that. It's a big giant wheel they attach to the tongue and are able to launch their boat in the bush with two vehicles.
I actually really like the corvair’s perforated headliner. It’s a really good look.
how´bout those 2 inch steel pipes up on top,just waiting to bust their skulls,like that too?
Matt: Gives the "Never unhook your trailer" lecture.
Matt - 10 mins after lecture: "We're gonna unhook the trailer & hook a rope to it..."
What ever he is doing to get stuck, in a 4x4 light chassy Morvair, is probably doing something wrong , but Matt seems to have the patience and resources to get unstuck! MASTER CLASS....... GOOD TIMES MATT AND ALL THE WINDER TEAM
Great to see the production crew using more aerials.
Great idea using the audio from the GoPros.
I am not even stuck and I am hooked!
NEVER UNHOOK THE TRAILER! Lol that needs to be a sticker or something!
A sticker next to the weight rating stickers.
Even better advice would be to never hook on a trailer before driving into the sand dunes. 😁
The Sand Hollow Reservoir has both a Westside and a Southside paved boat ramp. 😎
@@ITubeTooInc well I guess that is probably the ideal method, But for the people that don’t know better an get stuck; don’t unhook once your stuck.
Put it on the t-shirts!
Wow what a life, some wise man once said Find something you like then figure out how to make a living doing it. I think you found it. Love the Morvair, what you guys do in your shop is pretty amazing.
Rudy throwing the rock under the tire 🤣🤣🤣
I just came across this video... immediate subscription. I LOVED this.
Wanted to add cant wait to see more on the banana rebuild..... saw when the Morrvair got stuck, you need to carry max tracks with you...a must have...all the 4 wheel drive guys use them...
Been watching for a while, I've noticed loose trailers aren't that common but do occur. Maybe make a sled with an adjustable hitch? Mental picture I'm getting is basically a Trailer Tug(name brand of a type of trailer dolly) with 3 small, wide skis instead of it's 8" wheels. You'd be able to shackle either the winch or the yankum to the Tug where the handle pivot is and it's tripod design seems like it would be stable enough with balanced skis.
10:19 - Matt's so strong he can pull that RAM with his bare hands!!! Who needs a Morvair? Give us MOR-Matt!!!
Son to Father- “Reckless” 😂😂 That made me laugh 👍
Now THAT is a fun way to dig a hole! ❤️🐞
💥💥I promise to never unhook my trailer 🤣
I have a very old land cruiser (1994) I live in Saudi Arabia and I’ve never had problems with getting stuck in the sand although we have tougher sand dunes. I’m not saying I’m the best driver but I think the car itself plays a big role when it comes to performance in the sand. Many people seem to struggle with modern cars although having stronger engines and lift kit, don’t know why!! Is it the weight ?
Nice video guys and thanks for helping people.
Upvote 👍
Something we do in beach sand don't know how different is but I keep a boat anchor in the truck and use it as a winch point to help get moving when I get my boat trailer stuck. It doesnt give a ton of extra but its never left me stranded.
Great recovery, I still feel like a sand anchor is justified for the few times it would get used like this time but either way keep the smiles up and the recoveries going
I can't figure out why these guys don't carry recovery boards. That ought to have been enough to get out of the hole. Seems like they're so used to going straight to the snatch they've forgotten about the shovel and maxtrax 😂
Floors it for minutes, then gets out
"Let me try something"
*floors it*
But you can see he has a bit more experience since he managed to inch it forward just a little bit more
Time to invent a hitch able skid to get that kinetic energy back
@@shaunbeach9502 racthet straps and a 4x4 post could be a good skid for a trailer stuck
@@pimpontheline 2’ X 3’ piece of 1/4” aluminum with the front bent up mounted to a hitch ball holder. Snap it into the hitch, tie the dyno rope to it, and give it a yank.
@@jasonji1900 The truth is something like that would work, but it’s so specialized you’d never keep it in the jeep, so you’ll end up calling in a back up vehicle anyway.
Well this is when you need the banana up an running Matt!
gettin that big ol motor in it i cant wait
6 maxtrax one under each wheel here you would walk out with a lot of throttle.
I love your shows.
If I was the guy that was stuck with the boat, I would of used my truck to pull out Matt.
" I remember the day I pulled Matt Recovery out" make a great conversation piece at the next campfire with your buddy.😎
Lets not ignore how good the morrvair sounds 🤘🏻
I think the "gate keepers" at the dunes take turns being on Matt's channel as he passes. "It's my turn!"
That would have been an easier recovery if the trailer had been in the boat :o)
Cleaver way hooking the trailer up! We dont have that kind off environment here in sweden, the sand seems really sketchy to drive on. Here it´s just mud and rocks and most of the times a tree nearby to hook up to! :)
Matt stop worrying about what people say as long as you are good with God who cares? God bless you brother ❤
Even better reason not to unhook trailer -- once you do, it counts as two jobs $$$
That's right! Time to sharpen the pencil for stupidity.
Rudy: "People get stuck in this all the time."
Matt: "haha gas pedal go vroom"
"We'll dig a hole"
Me: expects shoveling. Got something better instead.. :-p
always amazing...
UNREAL how you dug to get under that boat hitch !!!!!! Love it !!!!!!
i always wonder how he does that..... i know it's a trick transfer case, but how does he dig and not move... independent brakes?
Make a “curved skid plate” with a towball (for the trailer coupling) in the centre of it. An old plough disc works very well. Weld an attachment link to the plough disc, then fit your kinetic rope to it and pull away. I’ve been using one l made, for years.
There ya go!
gotta worry about the tongue jack though, easier to rig a plate of some form under that and pull there with something locking it to the trailer behind the jack
I have only read the caption thus far, I am hoping for Jillian and the Explorer to pull up for the rescue and save the day. For all the interweb experts! what were these guys thinking driving the Morrvair out there.
I wanna see that guys samurai on 40" tires
It should float!
That must be some low gearing. They have like 20 hp. :) Its a tractor.
my buddy drove back to camp in his 3 wheel Samurai. He lost the front left wheel on a jump (33 inch tires) and with his buddies all hanging out the other side drove it through all kinds of crap back to camp. They are tough as nails.
@@davec.3198 it about 60 from the engine. About as much as a Jeep rubicon 😂
@@v26224 huh jeep rubicon 60hp? Even the older models with the 4L straight 6 had 180hp or something like that.. .
Matt should've gotten a shirt, he got stuck and made a call.
Howdy! Love all the vids brother. As a south east Texan on the coast, I would ask for a humidify gauge added to the weather report. Because 90 with 90% humidity is much different than a say 50% level. Keep up the good work fellas
Great Morrvair Grabs. Enjoy seeing the thunder clouds in the distance wonderful scenery. 👍🔥
Perhaps that park should have a BIG sign that says "If you decide to get stuck, DO NOT unhook your trailer!!!"
Been watchin' a long time. I'm curious now... what's an average cost to get yanked out of the dirt these days by Matt?
On one of his videos, he explains that he does not publicly disclose what he charges. He says there are a lot of factors involved involved e.g. distance he must travel, number of people he must bring, equipment he has to use, etc.
When you pass by people in need of help (non-callers), do they get charged a fee or is it pro bono work?
It's time to negotiate.
I was wondering the same thing. Good question.
I agree with EF, likely negotiable. In the most common scenario where Matt goes to an area where 2-3 people are all stuck but only one person makes a call, it wouldn't be fair for that person to get charged full price and then the others just get free pulls, so I imagine they figure something out.
Most likely free if they are filming. TH-cam $$
Why do you ask that? You think he should pull them out for free? If you're ignorant enough to get your vehicle stuck you should be affluent enough to say pay someone to get it out? Haven't you heard? Nobody rides for free!
@6:47 Amazing at how much that dry sand looks like water slinging off the tires.
Matt, you should whip together a "trailer ski" for situations like this. Like a trailer dolly, but with a ski/ skid plate instead of wheels. I don't know if anyone has made one before, but it shouldn't be hard to do!
