I live in Virginia I drive a whole lot far than he does to do just normal off-road recoveries so yeah it happens young man when nobody will come you go if you get the call and our mountains in Virginia are more brutal than dry stuff. He’s working in Utah.!!!
The Jeep driver knew enough to know not to make the situation worse for himself, AND he left cones out to give warning to anyone coming down the trail who might not immediately see the winch line? My kinda dude right there.
Ya, he really seems to know his stuff. Just needs some more time learning about recovering. Otherwise he did good. He even sounds like he knows his stuff!
Matt’s statement at 18:24, “So I welded half of it and Rory welded half of it and the reason we did that so when it brakes we won’t know who to blame and we both will be blameless!” 😂
Plausible deniability, when you do crazy stuff no one else will touch and need every tool in the CYA box. My personal goto is “hook it to whichever part you want to come out first”.
Matt, this is my back yard! Those antenna towers in the background house my repeater and several other amateur (HAM) and commercial repeaters @5300' above sea level. that fire road is controlled by US forest service and only people with "business" on Sunset Ridge should be on it with motorized vehicles. We actually had a "repeater service" crew drive into that very same ditch, well after dark. We made a couple calls and "So-Cal Offroad and Recovery" from facebook got us out of that ditch with a 2020 Toyota 4Runner named Booger within a couple hours of our call! They are off-road enthusiasts that recover folks for free, they are highly capable, well versed and practiced in some of the incredibly rugged and dangerous places in So-Cal (that was nowhere near the worst of our areas). It was fun seeing you guys in this neigborhood but it was a long way to go for a simple "drag-out" recovery in what we see as a Hiking and garden spot above La Verne and Claremont I'm glad it wasn't a wasted trip since you got to help Caitlans Dad and play in Johnson valley without the ridiculous crowds!
Fun to watch this. I've gotta 4w to a repeater, I hate that road, the park service keeps sending up a tracked vehicle up there which cuts up the rock into sharp pieces. At 6000 you don't want a flat. Just running a stock dodge truck with a cummins . N6GRG
Looking through many comments, I'm impressed by how classy the channel is. No one mentioned Matt's statement "Rory is going to take that buggy, up the backdoor." Well done!
Y’all really need shirts specifically for the rescued. Maybe on the sleeve it says “Rescued” or “Recovered “. Something to differentiate a store bought vs a recovery. Just my 2 cents worth.
The plant you saw at the end is actually a Chaparral Yucca. Fun fact about those plants, once they bloom (grow that big stalk that you see on the plant) and flower, the plant then dies. When they bloom, they can grow 6 inches in a single day.
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. These are some of the absolute finest TH-cam videos to be had. And having both recovery teams, the best in the business; in the same video, priceless!
That jeep customer obviously wanted you to drive all the way down to so California because I've actually done a recovery in that same spot. We have lot's of capable rigs in the area who are in socaloffroadrecovery groups who would jump at a chance to wheel and recover on a road closed to general public. When I did the recovery it was a clear night and beautiful out with the city lights. Glad you guys enjoyed
I don't get notifications so I'll likely never see the response. But were you a part of the Jeep recovery at Hulda Crooks a few years back? That one was hilarious
I rolled out of a fall trail running but hit a root with my shoulder and separated it. I would have rather broke the fall with my face. Shoulder bothered me for 2 years.
@@ripvanrevs Totally agree.Setting with my elbow on a pillow to lessen the pain.Already had torn rotator and fell backwards down steep stairs 2 weeks ago.Rode my bike a couple miles,a couple days ago, and couldn't sleep all night from the pain.I describe it as a chisel in the joint and someone prying...then there's the muscles bruised...
Very good to see you and Rory working together. Even Sean was there. Each of you have your own way of doing things and that's good. Putting them together is fantastic. Thanks for the video.
I love off-roading and have been stuck once or twice but the predictable situation you find people in just boggles one’s mind. Thank goodness for sensible people.
Another outstanding recovery from Team MORR! After THIS particular episode, MORR stand for Matt's Off Road Rolling! Nice recovery Matt!! Glad you weren't hurt!
I've gotta admit it's nice to see you in So Cal, Matt! Aren't our mountains and views beautiful? It's great to hear you give our state nice compliments as we usually get a lot of hate from those who don't live here. And you made a side trip to the Mojave Desert, my hometown!
You know the sad part about all that negativity is it's probably coming from someone who lives in a state getting a bunch of subsidies largely paid for by Californians.
I grew up in the Mojave Desert and left there 25 years ago not because of the but because of the people. Cali is a great and beautiful state most of the people just suck.
@@jeff2023 you could literally say that about every state in America ...I had friends return from Indiana to California because of the nasty people there in the midwest....go figure
Taking Rory yo help in the recovery was a great idea. Rory is recovering and doing trail repairs on more Jeeps than the factory can build. So he has finished most of the MOAB Jeeps jobs and he is now starting on California.
I said this is Rory's video of the recovery.......always great time when the two of you get together on a recovery! I also want to say, in my opinion of course, that a mark of true professionals can listen to others idea's and use them rather than thinking their own way is the only way to do something. Both of y'all have that ability. Awesome recoveries by awesome groups. Thanks for sharing
Really an exceptional video treat. Matt and Rory's crews, Caitlin's dad, serious off road action, massive recovery repair, and wrecker action. We like Caitlin, and to see the wrecker doing its imitation of the trail mater on steroids. Great job well done, thanks for sharing.
Hello from the original Lucerne, Switzerland 🇨🇭, some 800 years old. If you ever get to Switzerland, Matt, I‘m happy to guide you through this beautiful city.
Holy crap, that kid's Jeep was close to tumbling down the mountainside! I've seen some partial collapses on these carved out trails in the side of the mountain and this debris is unstable rubble. He really had some incredible luck! 😲
You should see some of the roads that we built for log trucks to go on. That one looks like a bloody highway compared to some of the things we've built over the years.
4:45 - that's why so many of us love it here in Southern California, you don't have to go far outside the cities to find amazing mountains/nature/adventures
23:05 not sure if you were just joking around, but for people who don't know - that's actually yucca plant. Tequila is made from agave which is kind of similar, but more succulent plant.
It's so great that all you guys work together. Love all your channels and love how you all interweave with each other and give a little back and forth just love it.
Kudos to the young guy for how he handled his bad situation 👏. Matt and Rory team did a great trail recovery video showing how rigging works. The trail repair was even better, helping Kaitlyn's dad out and getting off the trail. Amazing team work 👏. And Rory going up the backdoor. . Lol
Music bands, singers and comedians may dream of taking their act on the road, MORR literally takes their recovery team and equipment on the road. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job and what timing for Caitlyn's dad. There was a guy in the local area that shut his business down (Rhino Recovery) and he would have handled the 1st recovery. Surprised that a couple of his buddies who are still in the business weren't reachable. Those Southern Cali hills are deceiving for sure. That wrecker never ceases to amaze me!
The plant at 23:05 is called Chaparral Yucca, it is different from Blue Agave (typically used for tequila). You cannot ferment Yucca into alcohol without adding a base first which can be complicated. It’s fruits, roots, stem, and flowers are all edible but can be somewhat astringent or bitter so it’s recommended that everything but the flowers (if they’re clean) be boiled to get rid of the bitter taste. Hope this helps if you’re in the middle of nowhere in trouble. Also you should always do your own research, I’m just some guy in the TH-cam comments. 👌
I loved seeing Yucca on the hillsides outside my house growing up in Southern California. I never new you can eat the roots until recently, though it might be e different variety then the ones I've eaten. I was very surprised when it came in a food box kit for making the yummiest French fries by frying the cut roots in olive oil. I always heard the native Indians ate it and my dad would say don't try to dig one up because it's hard work and it's "yuc." Now I see its roots in Asian California grocery stores which makes me think its a different variety since the Chaparral yucca only grows in California.
What a great collection of recoveries! One of the leading stars was the wrecker! Great to see Rory and how Matt & Rory worked together to make this happen on the Jeep. Way to go, team!
I live in Joshua Tree, Ca. And when its time for King of Hammers, we get FLOODED with all types of awesome off roading vehicles going through. Ive never been to KOH but would really like to go one of these days. Always look forward to when you drop your videos brother.
I am a 20 year old female weldor from Socal and found out about you guys because my grandparents love watching your videos. They put me onto yall because I have a Jeep and work on tow equipment.. and now I'm obsessed with watching these and watching your team go abouts how to "perform" your rescues. Great job team. Would kill to be part of something like this!
i gotta say to anyone who talks any trash about matt and his business clearly works for someone.. the amount of time and effort from them to do these jobs and film it is a huge challenge and if you feel so entitled to comment how they could have done it better get your own trucks and rigs and do it. these guys are top notch
Johnson Valley is just my backyard!! You shoulda stopped by for a cup of coffee!!! That plant is the Agave Americana- AKA the Century Plant to all of us in the CA Desert. Don't know if thst is the Agave they use for Tekillya!
Matt and Rory, picked a great early summer to go to SoCal. With record rainy season this year, everything is still green! In a dry year, the whole area would be of risk of a wildfire. Too much fun today!
You will literally go to the ends of the earth to help out people, wow that is dedication to your fans and work, hope you did not hurt your self when you fell, matt
Matt no need to be embarrassed you made the transition from the high ground to the low ground with stile and grace and I give you a 10 for sticking the landing 😂glad to see your well
Matt, learning new things is always such a good feeling My boss told me when I started my job “if your not learning your better be dead” Each and everyday! Simple or complex things!
WE ALSO AGREE, 👍THUMBS UP IF U AGREE. MATT IS THE BEST. As an Old friends of Matt, I can say that after thorough review and confirmation by the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force UFO division and NASA, IT IS OFFICIAL, The John Wayne part of this video was the COOLEST cameo Matt has ever done, PERIOD. John Wayne daughter Aissa Wayne also agrees. Photos of ALL the above can be found on our site.
Rory wheeling back door with such ease proves his legendary status. Also, that’s a Yucca plant and not agave. Equally spikey, no tasty drinks made from it lol
I just smiled when I heard both you and Rory were heading out to work. Thanks for taking us along and glad Matt’s fall-land then roll wasn’t bone breaking. Good job guys 👍🏻
Matt in my opinion this is more proof you guys are the best at what you do. Since no one else would do it. You and Rory handled it and got the job done
So cool to see Matt in socal, while this isnt really right by DTLA, its about 30 mins east. In the San Dimas mtns area i actually hike around here too🤣 On clear nights, the city lights from the Inlnd Empire is absolutely breathtaking!
'A very good feeling' ....'that I'll be back when the day is new, and I'll have more ideas for you' ...takes on a while new meaning. I'm anxious to see what he has in-store 😊
This is one of my favorite channels to watch while having dinner and relaxing after. You guys have so much fun and I just love the enthusiasm, expertise and energy for your work and play and the hard work that goes into it. Big respect. Keep up the good vibes. Oh, and happy to see you down in my neck of the woods!
I grew up a stones throw from La Verne, you were in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mts. They say Indian trackers had a real hard time tracking anything in those mountains because how steep the hillsides are. La Verne is a old citrus town with most of the groves gone by the late 1960's. The Native Americans use to call the LA Basin "valley of the smoke" because of the inversion layer and marine layer that burns off by noon left a haze with no blue sky. And yes, that was before cars and smog were a thing. Most of the roads/trails on those mountains get shut down usually for most of the summer because of fire risk. All the vegetation you see loves to burn when its all tinder dry in summer, can't tell you how many times I've seen them burn. Well Matt, theres a little bit of history for ya. Just those few things gives you a leg up over the 8 million or so that have moved here in the last 30 years. Thanks for the videos!
People that don’t live in Cali don’t realize that even though there is a lot wrong with Cali but once you get out of the city in particular LA it can be really nice. And if you like off-roading it’s a ton of really nice off-road spots out here
Ever notice how effortlessly and spontaneously Matt comes up with right on commentary? Whether it’s admiring the scenery, or making a wisecrack, it always seems authentic and unforced, not like a punchline, and not just so he can hear himself talk.
Those flowers you are smelling Matt those are called lupine and they come in and bloom when we have a lot's of rain in Southern California they're purple in color and they look beautiful and they smell beautiful .
Check it out from Trail Maters perspective here.

@@dodgeguyz .. anybody that 'knows their stuff' or even a little bit would have got out of there easy.

Well, if you can't beat them, you might as well join them and beat them at their own game.

Brings back memories. I work at a TV site on Sunset Ridge as an engineer from 1978 - 1981.
I’m in the area tomorrow, what’s the freq and PL on that box?
Fun to watch this. I've gotta 4w to a repeater, I hate that road, the park service keeps sending up a tracked vehicle up there which cuts up the rock into sharp pieces. At 6000 you don't want a flat. Just running a stock dodge truck with a cummins . N6GRG
Yea it sucks that it’s not allowed to be offroaded on…..

Y’all really need shirts specifically for the rescued. Maybe on the sleeve it says “Rescued” or “Recovered “. Something to differentiate a store bought vs a recovery. Just my 2 cents worth.
official $1000 t-shirt for the recovered
Instead of "We'll get them out" it could say "We got you out".😂
That's an awesome idea
They got me out!
The plant you saw at the end is actually a Chaparral Yucca. Fun fact about those plants, once they bloom (grow that big stalk that you see on the plant) and flower, the plant then dies. When they bloom, they can grow 6 inches in a single day.
It's also the state flower of New Mexico
And they're pokey as frig. The native Americans made cordage out of the fibers of the leaves.
Beer all around for those recovery’s
I grew up in that desert. The stalks make wonderful pretend spears when you are 4-39 years old.
The blooms are edible too.
3:51 dear editor, that transition is a masterpeace and i aplaude you
I noticed that transition too. Well done for sure!
a 'masterpiece'? really?

There's a right way and a wrong way to fall and Matt did it the right way. He rolled out of his fall. He's the Fall Guy!💥🤩💥
He was pretending he'd been shot.
Sure was. It was similar to a parachute landing fall (plf). Matt's a man of many talents.
I've met the actual Fall Guy on the big island of Hawaii. Poor dude has all kinds of physical issues from his life of chaos

I can’t believe you drove that far for a recovery.
Sometimes content to shoot is slow so u have to go where the content is.
He was already that way without the recovery.
For the views.
Content is not easy to come by 🙌
400 miles, 6 hours. Each way
Not sure who the Jeep owner is but man that guy seems like a good dude and super appreciative of your Help!!
That's where I grew up! Nice to see beautiful California!
Amazing and spell binding. Never knew such rescue works are undertaken in such terrains. Your team is fabulous.
It's good to see the two of you helping people out.

Matt and Rory, picked a great early summer to go to SoCal. With record rainy season this year, everything is still green! In a dry year, the whole area would be of risk of a wildfire. Too much fun today!
Loved the way you rolled when you fell! Sure saves a lot of broken bones!
You will literally go to the ends of the earth to help out people, wow that is dedication to your fans and work, hope you did not hurt your self when you fell, matt
I'd love to see Rory pilot a 4400 car in the main event at KOH!
Matt no need to be embarrassed you made the transition from the high ground to the low ground with stile and grace and I give you a 10 for sticking the landing 😂glad to see your well
I'm pretty darned happy with California. Glad you got a chance to check it out!
(and that was a yucca... Tequila and Mezcal are made from agave)
Matt, learning new things is always such a good feeling
My boss told me when I started my job “if your not learning your better be dead”
Each and everyday! Simple or complex things!
WE ALSO AGREE, 👍THUMBS UP IF U AGREE. MATT IS THE BEST. As an Old friends of Matt, I can say that after thorough review and confirmation by the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force UFO division and NASA, IT IS OFFICIAL, The John Wayne part of this video was the COOLEST cameo Matt has ever done, PERIOD. John Wayne daughter Aissa Wayne also agrees. Photos of ALL the above can be found on our site.
Awesome to see Rory and Matt working together! I really enjoy their respective channels! Yep. Rory does a lot of trail repair.
Rory wheeling back door with such ease proves his legendary status. Also, that’s a Yucca plant and not agave. Equally spikey, no tasty drinks made from it lol
I just smiled when I heard both you and Rory were heading out to work. Thanks for taking us along and glad Matt’s fall-land then roll wasn’t bone breaking.
Good job guys 👍🏻
I’m surprised it didn’t rip the wheels off break the studs bc that back tire was on the sidewall holding the jeep up lol
Matt in my opinion this is more proof you guys are the best at what you do. Since no one else would do it. You and Rory handled it and got the job done
Rory..amazes me with his knowledge of winching
IMHO he is hands down the best off-road recovery person out there. Granted, I haven't seen them all, but still...
So cool to see Matt in socal, while this isnt really right by DTLA, its about 30 mins east. In the San Dimas mtns area i actually hike around here too🤣 On clear nights, the city lights from the Inlnd Empire is absolutely breathtaking!
Still in CA? Stop at del taco in Barstow!!! Best ever!!!
'A very good feeling' ....'that I'll be back when the day is new, and I'll have more ideas for you' ...takes on a while new meaning. I'm anxious to see what he has in-store 😊
Im loving the temporary tin foil still keeping the exhaust cool. No need for expensive exhaust wraps.
This is one of my favorite channels to watch while having dinner and relaxing after. You guys have so much fun and I just love the enthusiasm, expertise and energy for your work and play and the hard work that goes into it. Big respect. Keep up the good vibes. Oh, and happy to see you down in my neck of the woods!
See Matt was playing stunt man at the end 😁😁👍🏻
Fall Guy! Just needs a GMC lol
OMG! The two Super Recovery teams of You Tube! The Trail Mater and Matt's Off-Road! An awesome adventure!
What happened to blue steel?
Very good question.
I grew up a stones throw from La Verne, you were in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mts. They say Indian trackers had a real hard time tracking anything in those mountains because how steep the hillsides are. La Verne is a old citrus town with most of the groves gone by the late 1960's. The Native Americans use to call the LA Basin "valley of the smoke" because of the inversion layer and marine layer that burns off by noon left a haze with no blue sky. And yes, that was before cars and smog were a thing. Most of the roads/trails on those mountains get shut down usually for most of the summer because of fire risk. All the vegetation you see loves to burn when its all tinder dry in summer, can't tell you how many times I've seen them burn. Well Matt, theres a little bit of history for ya. Just those few things gives you a leg up over the 8 million or so that have moved here in the last 30 years. Thanks for the videos!
AwesOme ! Snakes are awesome ! Love the so cal videos ! My home state !🤘🤘
23:05 As I'm sure others have pointed out that's a yucca not an agave but love to see the appreciation of California native plants!
He didn't call anybody but you!
He wanted to be on your channel.
Nobody would have turned this down.
Glad you enjoyed the weather 😊
With all this deployment of forces I thought you would have to recover the crashed Airforce One. instead it was the simplest recovery in history
It’s awesome watching you recover in my home state! Hopefully I can see you in person someday, that would be the best!!!
Wait a second if I buy a shirt off your website people are going to think I got stuck and you had to recover me 🤣
People that don’t live in Cali don’t realize that even though there is a lot wrong with Cali but once you get out of the city in particular LA it can be really nice. And if you like off-roading it’s a ton of really nice off-road spots out here
Matt for the win!!
I can't get over how good Rory looks with a nice smile. Good work overall from two teams. Keep it up!
Hard to believe that no one locally would do that.
You are correct we have a ton of people that would do that out here. We have a Facebook page with thousands of people willing to help for free
Maybe they were calling tow companies that take insurance. Lot of people aren't familiar with off road groups that would help for free.
I bet it had to do with the road. That road isnt open to the public
Plus, it wasn't an EV...😂
This was staged for content. Learning from Heavy D.
😂😂 Matt falling in the intro..got me😂😂
Ever notice how effortlessly and spontaneously Matt comes up with right on commentary? Whether it’s admiring the scenery, or making a wisecrack, it always seems authentic and unforced, not like a punchline, and not just so he can hear himself talk.
I like the cinematic recovery with the rigging as opposed to the fastest option
Those flowers you are smelling Matt those are called lupine and they come in and bloom when we have a lot's of rain in Southern California they're purple in color and they look beautiful and they smell beautiful .
Rory, the location expert because he's played gta. That's awesome.😅
