Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
Let’s be blunt, what a dubious episode! Those guys were living the high life, and were super dope! I’m surprised they were able to stay high drated out there. It must have been a joint decision to cross that wash out by those 2 best buds. I thought that bus was for sure gonna get drug out, but it just kept rollin.
😂 yea gotta love the pumpkin covering up the evidence !!
"It must have been a joint decision" - haha!
@@scratchmyback1 haha… that edit was very high on the list before posting it ! 😆🤦🏼♂️
This comment is HIGHLY under-rated - it's almost criminal.
@@andyk2131 I was wondering what the pumpkin was for,
I love how they’re from totally different walks of life but mesh so well with Matt’s crew, those are some cool dudes!
If you don't judge, people are people. There but for the grace of god go I.
Idk man. I thought the rainbow gathering people were that way but it turns out if you stay sober you realize that they are all just mirroring eachother and not a single personality is a real one. But these guys in this video actually seems very legit and genuine.
The bus dudes were pretty cool, nice and laid back. They were also overtly humble and thankful that your crew saved them after 3 days of being stuck out in that desert. I also like that he gave you all some mineral samples. Most people might just call them rocks, and they are definitely that, but being a geology nerd I can appreciate the quartz and pyrite cubes for what they are, and I think they're cool gifts.
Oh, and I doubt that Skeeter fella woulda had a lot of luck jumping on tat train, as hobos learned along ago that they have to wait for the trains to slow down before they have even a chance of hopping on them. So hobos typically hang out just outside of train yards to get on or off them when they slow down drastically approaching or leaving the yards, or when they hit a sharp curve or uphill climb. Trying to jump on or off of a massive chunk of metal that has millions of pounds of force behind it, going anything over 5 miles an hour, is probably not gonna be fun for anyone involved.
Jesus Christ Marie, they're not rocks. They're minerals!
@@ScottBeeson 🤣 Hank was kinda a jerk during that time lol
They were pretty cool, but why would you even think about taking a bus in there?
@@Occuria1 Excessive quantities of pumpkin?
@@Occuria1 it did not do that bad.eo please get cars into places I would not take my pickup without a darn good reason. I walked in where my FIL drove my wife’s SAAB 900 15 years before. Yes it was now overgrown. But he had 2 4wds to chose from.
Matt I like how you don’t judge other people just because they’re different than you and that’s how you show real professionalism.
I was hoping to find this comment
Some call it professionalism others call it what good Christians are supposed to be.
or shows he is a mormon cult member
@@rconger24 it's what good HUMANS are supposed to be
@@dash0173 humans Christians you got the just of they said why even make a comment bro
As someone who owns an old ambulance, I can tell you those old trucks will surprise you wheeling. The big problem with that bus and the washes was its departure angle was just shallow enough to get it hung on the back. If the axle were closer to the rear (like my ambulance) it would have had no issue at all. Fun fun. All it needed was a gentle nudge to get it off the frame and it was ready to go again, both times. Love those big dually boxes. Makes me think I should get busy and fix mine now. :)
One of the most unique rescues yet. You show that no matter the client you treat all with respect.
Why wouldn't he be respectful to them are you saying you wouldn't be just for how they look? Jerk
How did you get that bus out here ? Weed , my brother hahahahaha
@Bob Smith I expected just exactly what we saw. A great example of kindness and acceptance. After all who couldn’t like a guy that can play a dirigible.
@@JamesSmith-wk7mr Think I met these guys at last year's ParTyR (the after party independent of the official RTR). Fun times!
😂😂😂
i had a "hippie" neighbor in california who was JUST like Forrest, he would go fishing all the time and always brought me some extra if he went without me. they can truly be great selfess ppl, but theyre not all alike. Glad these dudes were so down to earth.
My guess is these guys are from, or have spent a lot of time in Northern California haha
But they all love Phish 😑
This was one of my favorite episodes. Those guys are out living their one precious life! Super nice dudes and I loved their payment in crystals 😄 it was so fun to see Matt and crew hang out with them after the recovery
I tried paying in Crystal before, it didn't go well.

Wook things
Matt on seeing the bent rear bumper: "It looks like we don't have to be careful..." Understatement of the year
Made me laugh out loud. First time I've heard that.
@7:00
LMAO
90% of the roads up here in Canada are gravel/dirt roads, those guys were genuine time travelers from the 60's ✌❤🌿
Flashback!
Especially when you live in northern ontario!!!! Unfortunately dirt roads get lesser and lesser every year though.......😑
The roads here in NS would probably be better off being dirt lmfao
They've been lost out there for 60 years thank god for Matt!
Kinda surprised when Matt said that there are people who don't know what gravel roads are... I never met anyone who hasn't driven on them.
Blue Steel doesn't get addressed much and I've always wondered how many miles are on it, what's been done to keep it going, and what Matt thinks of the earlier 6.7 Powerstrokes. Love the work!
You helped out two cool dudes who seem to be living life to their fullest. They are enjoying whatever comes their way. Interesting video.
Those guys are super cool.
I agree, although it reminds me of a partridge family episode. ( I'm that old) when the bus broke down on a dirt road, the two youngest kids said they found a mermaid in the pond. It was just a girl, somewhat like those men, except those men were not near any water to go skinny dipping. I'd bet they needed it though.😜
The episode was titled, "mother of the year". I believe....
The new rusted root album is gonna be awesome
Filthy hippies!
Not 100% sure about that, but they did seem nice.
Dudes in a school bus have been off-roading more than most with 4x4s. I was a little... reserved... until I saw they made it over that big wash.. Props to them for taking a BUS off-road!
That one on a van chassis wouldn’t be ideal because they’re so low. But, a short bus on a medium duty chassis does pretty good offroad. They have decent ground clearance, a good wheelbase, and short overhangs. Just need solid ground as they sink quick.
I would of had it to had my buddy not been freaking out about the wash and stopped right in the ruts SMH
I think my number one word for this episode is wholesome. Enjoyed every minute of it with a smile on my face. They didn't seem too bothered, but the fact they said they'd been out on that road for 3 days is actually kinda scary when you think about it. Glad they were close enough to phone service to get you guys out there to help.
And they never got judgmental or condescending with two guys who have decided to live a very different life style.
They were driving a motor home that they very likely live out of. They didn't seem bothered, likely because they'd be sleeping in the bus regardless of where it happened to be. They only called for help when it became clear they wouldn't get unstuck on their own.
@@GuruMeditationError They may have decided it was time to call for help because they were getting low on - uhm - pumpkins.
@@GuruMeditationError it was cuz we were about to be outta water had less than a gallon left dogs still had a few but that's the only reason we didn't dig ourselves outta that spot as well
@@hondolane3125 nah we were good on that short on water lmao we were running low on tobacco tho
I love how compassionate you guys are with everyone. The sheer lack of judgement is amazing to see. Also, that pumpkin, that was a j I assume. Is that illegal where they are?
Ya, this is Utah, mon.
Cigarette
I think it was a bottle of beer?
Utah has medical but not recreational
@@driverjayne I did not know. Canada has legalized Country wide, so it is weird for me think about it being illegal sometimes.
"Drive like you're pulling out into traffic in no hurry" Best 1 liner of the day. 😂 Glad to see Lizzy back in the recovery videos. So that was just a vacation and not a honeymoon?
Sorry, but that award goes to "If Ed saw 10,000 dollars' worth of silver, he'd pass it up for 50 dollars' worth of gold"
I don't know she's got a wedding ring on in some scenes.
First time I saw a ring on Lizzy's finger was back in the "Heavy Van!..." episode from 6/8 when they were saying thanks to Robby. She's a great girl with a great attitude. Always ready to work, help out and learn as much as she can.
Boys, boys. Hurricane is not a big town. Lizzie is a great catch. There are a lot of places to hide a body within an hour drive. Tread lightly there.
Had to jump in here and just say cool name! 😎
They were super stoked to get some clean tee shirts.
I'm thoroughly impressed that those guys got that bus out there. Reminds me of my dad and I using a one tone box truck for base camp elk hunting. Boy we got looks rolling past 4x4s 20 miles in the bush of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. Luv your vids welcome back Lizzy!!!
That's very nice that Matt does what he can to include all types of viewers, and educate. Even when not necessary for most of the viewers.
Hi
Hi
Im from the UK I'm a game developer and 4x4 lover, I will never have an opportunity to meet these amazing guys but I love your videos such humble people with great family and friend values keep on doing what you are doing and never change! it's so nice to see such a great bunch of people working together and I absolutely loved the video for the golden nugget reveal!! :)
Maybe in the future if the opportunity arises a game all about Matt's off road recovery could be on the cards! :D peace out peeps!
Why never? If you want to do it, do it.
@@willdejong7763 because I cant travel due to personal circumstances :) at the moment any way
If ever I get into trouble because I didn't know the risk, I hope someone as understanding as Matt & crew come to my rescue.
I don't think he does it for free.
They were killin me using the shovels without shoes! Great rescue, I really wasn't sure about that bus and kind of figured the oil pan would be gone! I hope they were finally able to make it back to the cave one day
Fan down here in Iowa. Hope Lizzy and her family enjoyed their trip!
From the lightning bugs, gravel roads, Ed in charge of the dogs (my wife has that in common), the random bus, Lizzy's idea of "pulling out into traffic but not in a hurry", the fair trade crystals, y'all giving into to trying whatever that instrument was and the pumpkin made this episode one of my favorites so far. 😂
Keep up the great work! 🤝
As a fellow Iowa resident I also hope they had a great time. Iowa is full of people genuine nice people just like all the folks at MORR. Great episode!
It's a didgeridoo. Aboriginal Australia musical instrument - that's why around 14:30 you hear the comment "Australia just called..."
i like pumpkins...
This episode was absolutely hilarious. Look I've been watching for some time and this on made me feel better about your connection with aboriginal and indigenous people from the bush,and bus 🚌
Heeelaarious. Thanks guys
I love how yall gave it a shot with the Instrument, them guys were down to earth 👏
I am really impressed with the drive and dedication it must have taken to get the school bus through the first Grand Canyon hole.
Those fellers are definitely my kinda people to run into when out in the wilderness when you ran out of anything. They would definitely help you!
Always what goes around comes around :-)
No humming required. Just takes a little pop of air to initiate the drone sound on a didgeridoo! Cool recovery video!
I LOVE that Matt is putting Lizzy behind the wheel! Heck yeah! Welcome back from vacay, Lizzy!
Oh my goodness, Lady sure has packed on a few! Lol
She's just been living the good life this year. Couple extra ride alongs and she will probably bounce right back!
Those guys are pretty harmless and just having a good adventure.. Love the Pumpkin mask to respect thier lifestyle choices..
Always a great day when Matt uploads :)
Two friends living the van life in a converted school bus isn't unusual. They might want to upgrade the bus with a lift kit and bigger tires though if they're gonna go exploring dirt roads.
It's a new bus only had it a year but if ya wanna help me with that Job I'd be oh so down. I've been saying it for the past 2 bases I've had I really think it be bad ass to have a 3" lift and some like 35s then I could just go anywhere
Best interaction I've seen with a customer, not sure if it's just cause they're modern day hippies or they got more focus for being the most interesting 😆
I love how you find really good but really unwise drivers - like the dude that got his school bus up the mountain.
The bus guys have never seen the movie “Into The Wild”.
I will say the giving of gifts to the crew was a class move. Good on them. 👍🏼👍🏼🙂
I can't believe that they got that bus in that far. They were determined. Great Job good to see Lizzy back and enjoying herself.
the the dready guy seemed real cool actually
I would not participate in all of their choices 🎃 but these guys are fearless, persistent and lucky. Definitely gualities that make good times.
I'd participate in the 🎃 all day on the other hand
what was censored with the pumpkin?
@@chonkyboi7332 a joint I would assume
Utah at least allows medicinal "pumpkin" use. Clearly, the young fellow was treating a sore knee.
@@chonkyboi7332 A cigarette with a special ingredient probably
Being A Towtruck Owner/Operator Once, I Instantly Learned It's Always A SURPRISE On Every Call......Got A Call From The State Police & Responded, A Tractor Trailer Needed A Tow, Got There Hooked-Er Up, Towed It To The Location The Client Wanted, Asked Him Where He Wanted It Dropped, He Responded Right Here? Shocked With The Location, But Did What The Client Wanted.....The NEXT Thing I Know Is He's Taking Three Elephants Out Of The Trailor, Put On Their Harnesses & Moved The Truck & Trailer Where They Actually Needed To Go!....Always An Interesting Adventure! LOL!
I think this is the best video you guys have put out. Very entertaining!
Thank you for sharing MORR crew!
Hey Matt, what are your thoughts on RCV's? I know you were having problems with the Banana's front axle, would these be a solution? I am curious as I plan on heading down a similar path of upgrading for my XJ.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHA
"Drive like you're pulling out into traffic but you're not in a hurry."...... classic Matt. I just love this channel. Glad to see Lizzy back and the pups getting exercise.
Kind of envy their lifestyle, a lot to be said for such a simple existence.
We start our nomadic existence October 12th. Can’t wait.
@@natewanders enjoy every moment of it. I put mine away so I could raise my kids but never put away the lifestyle. It's worth it don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Hard for me to envy drug addiction.
@@skottholyoak thank you.
@@JaredHIll13 🤣👍
I live in an area where everything is paved and maintained and I can say, with confidence, that if you don't know what gravel is you need to leave your hometown more often.
I missed you Lizzie, but I’m so glad you had a wonderful time. These guys need you to keep them in line, I’m sure Jaime appreciates the help. LoL!!
Keep in line? Sounds like you are a slave and need your master to keep you in line. Asking for a little help doesn't mean you are incompetent. Check your language.
"You can tell it's old by how it looks"- words of wisdom by Matt.
customer here seems like a surprisingly chill dude, seems very pleasant to be around
That was a cool, entertaining episode! Wish I was a chilled as these guys.
Matt's enthusiasm in this rescue is overwhelming-
Here in Virginia, there are many, many unpaved roads. I live on one in Northern Virginia, 55 miles from Washington DC. Most of these dirt roads are maintained by the state.
Same in California and Vermont.
Hey, we must be neighbors!
@@thegoondockswarcouncil9543 I'm in Loudoun
@@JoeBarand culpepper here
You get to meet the best people in the strangest places Matt. Welcome back Lizzy! Glad you had a nice trip. This was a good day. :D God Bless
Now that was a unique recovery for some very unique customers! You guys are cool as always.
Shouldn’t have cut off Lizzy’s vacation report, it was interesting. Also, I’m curious what the pumpkin was hiding. I suspect it was MJ. 😆
Pipe or a bong yeah.
fat bob marley reefers.
Watching the hippie try to use that shovel with his bare foot… made my day.
As a tuba player myself, I knew there was something about you two that I resonated with! Lol
As a tuba player that watches most of your videos, it was awesome to hear that you all used to play tuba! Super cool!
The pumpkin is a spliff and his tattoo isn't blurred its just very detailed geometrical designs the camera can't pick up
I grew up on the Oregon coast where we had miles and miles of "gravel" logging roads, a lot of us learned to drive on them, it gets a little confusing when you go to areas where people call them dirt roads. Of only minor interest unless you are a weird trivia person, they are not really "gravel" but crushed rock, gravel is the smooth round rock that you find in river and creek beds but everyone I know, myself included call them gravel roads.
Yes gravel roads are a step up from dirt roads, especially when it rains.
My trivial mind puts the rock you're describing as river rock which is a form of gravel. But you are not wrong, Gravel is naturally occurring, and what most people see is crushed rock since it's processed down from larger stones.
When one of the dudes tried to push the shovel down with bare feet had me dying. Super cool dudes tho
Those are awesome crystals, very good energy to amplify the good deeds and protect from negativity!
a lot of great examples being set in this video coming from both sides, thanks for sharing!
"It took them two days to dig out of it, and that was the good way coming through it" so many funny moments in this one early on in the car ride over too. "I don't know what we're on it's some kind of dirt and rocks." and then the random overweight dog running along the trail. too funny.
That’s so awesome that he gave you guys some dope rocks!
Love that 7.3 Ford International Motor.....humming!
Front bumper setting on the ground, rear bumper sitting on the ground, pull’s parking brake. Wouldn’t want that to go anywhere would ya. 😂
I love how you guys covered up his joints
That is a great story you told about the gravel roads! We all know you are talking about those "mani/pedi Tesla driver guys.
If theres a will there is a way!!! Stay safe and take care everyone
Man oh man, top 10 MORR video for sure! Basically the coolest customers since those 4 stranded chicks that rode in the Jeep!
@ 7:18 One look at "Stoner hey man" answers the question as to "how". 🤣
Adventure takes you to weird places!
Luckily, these nomads had their home with them!
That BMW spare tire video insert (@5:58 mark) is a perfect example of why you should have a dead-blow sledge hammer in your recovery kits (for both the road trucks, as well as the MORRvair & Banana). I've owned a Estwing 9 lb dead-blow for 20+ yrs, and i can't tell you how many times a could of solid strikes with that sucker, has saved me countless kicks with my boot, as well as far less chances of marking the wheel face, or killing my knee from forcefully donkey kicking the stuck wheel. Definitely worth looking into It MORR team.
Y'all found your inner hippy hanging with those dudes
I love that you take the dogs with you, I know they love it
Gee I wonder what was behind that floating pumpkin!

Lizzy sitting in the back seat looking vaguely amused is the highlight of very episode
I'm not surprised people don't know what an "unpaved road" is, but I'm astounded the don't know what "gravel" is. NC used to have many a mile of "unimproved surfaces", but you've got to get way out in the sticks to find many these days. (DOT has paved many of them... less work to maintain them.)
That dude was like heyyyy buddy. Want some Walter White?
Love the tuba playing, I went from a sax to a tuba because we had to many sax players.
Gonna be honest, the fact that the bus could get though all of that shows how insane government spec vehicles are, since all school buses are beefed up to government specs.
He must've been hauling butt when he hit that wash on the way in. I'm surprised that thing wasn't broken in half! 🤯🤣 Those guys were pretty friendly! And props to Tucker for giving the one guy a complimentary pumpkin at the end 👀🤣
Growing up I lived on a gravel road that was eventually oiled and stoned... A tanker truck would come down the road spraying oil... A dump truck would then come down spreading stone over the oil... eventually traffic would press the stones into the oil creating a semi hard surface... If you were one of the 1st few vehicles to travel the road after it was oiled and stoned it would kick oil up onto your vehicle... People would have to drive into town to the local auto parts store and purchase bug and tar remover to get it off
"Nice to meet you! Nice bus."
"You, too! Hot day today, huh?"
"Yup, hot day to get stuck."
"Well, my humans will help your humans get it out. Want to play?"
Getting some Breaking Bad vibes from these two cooks 😂
Im shocked people don’t know what gravel roads are. I live in Oregon in the PNW. My parents took me camping all the time when I was young. Most of it was remote…so a lot of my first driving experiences even as a teen was on gravel.
its like running into jack sparrow in the middle of the desert. Surreal.
“You got it d000d” 🤣
Thats hilarious that the Hippies gave you crystals
I love the Pumpkin, keeping it classy.
I have gravel roads all over here and I love them idk why their just fun to drive on lol
Huge difference between a gravel road and a dirt road, HUGE!!
Beatniks and Red Necks together in harmony
"So here's a little story about our dogs: Ed's in charge of feeding them..."
Say no more Matt 😂😂
Loved it when Matt said, "So it looks like we don't have to careful" while looking at the pretzelled bumper.
in that case it is see food eat it....or feed it to the dogs. Man's best friends need to be just that best friends
Ed must be weak to the puppy eyes.
Matt: "Drive like you're pulling out into traffic in no hurry"
Lizzy: *pedal to the metal*

It's a joke, calm down. 😆
Come down that on ramp like you are leaving pit row in Nascar
She didn't even spend the wheels lol good job Lizzie

Did anyone else laugh a little when Matt looked at the bumper and said “so it looks like we don’t have to be careful” and walks away.
Yes it was funny
Haha yea I like matt
Yes!! 😅😂😅
Yup
Same for a contractor working on a dirty house lol
As a rock and mineral enthusiast myself, it was really special that he gave you those stones. Very rarely do i give part of my collection away. It's just that people have different ways of saying thank you.
Many years ago, on the gravel road from Alma, Colorado to the Kite Lake trailhead, we helped a lady with a flat tire. Turns out she had been rockhounding up there, and as a thank you, she gave us a bit of rhodochrosite embedded in a larger crystal matrix that she had found. I had no idea what it was and used it for a door stop for years.
I love giving away crystals that I have found. ☮️
@@justgonnastay that is so especially significant, because it was something she collected on her own. And wow, that's a large rhodocrosite to be a doorstop. Very unique. Keep it forever.
Yea it meant a lot to them to hand those overs
To each his own, but to me crystals and photographs are great to give away. If I can make someone smile as we part ways, mission accomplished. And no, I don't have dreadlocks.
I bet a night around the fire with those two men would be super interesting. Early on, when Matt was talking about people who have never been on a gravel road, I was once again reminded how fortunate that so many of us farm, ranch and small town folks were for all the adventures and learning experience that we took for granted. Welcome back Lizzy
I’d spark one up with those fellas!
Yea. Because farm people are the best.
I lived on a gravel road and now a dirt road nothing like country life
Learned to drive at 12 years old, on gravel.
I grew up in a rural area and we don't have gravel roads.
We have caliche, dirt, or (shudders) clay roads.
Respect, that bus has seen more off roading than most 4X4s!
You can convert those old E350/450s to 4x4 if you want. They put ford 1 ton truck axles on them, lift them about 6 inches and 35-36 inch tires. Expensive conversion but they don't hold any value so you can pick them up used pretty cheap. Course it's still a big heavy vehicle with terrible approach and departure angles so you still need to be careful.
My little impreza is the same. Ive taken it through big mudholes, over a foot of snow, and i even pulled a toyota tundra out of the snow last year
@@xToddmcx some ambulances are 4x4, especially for mountain/snowy areas. Not sure how lifted they are though.
Is Ukraine still popular to support?
Zelensky went rogue
WEF globalist destroy the food supply and you support them?
Why?
Do you hate freedom?
Do you hate private property?
Do you enjoy eating bugs?
I love the crosscountry conversion Jared from Wrench Every Day did to one. They entered one in a road rally and did the Cannonball Run in it. 🤣
This was probably one of my favorite episodes. Those two dudes were some absolute characters. Good vibes all around.
