I don't understand some people, they are too spoiled by regular film crews, I like your video's just the way they are and these people should just be happy that there are people like you to do the heavy lifting.
Exactly, While i still consider myself fairly new to the channel, ive made a few suggestions about mounts & hands free whenever possible etc, Though ive never complained, All in all considering he still drives all that while filming most of it is exceptional especially when 1 wrong move & your 15k feet off the side of a cliff. And It would be Costly to have multiple people in other vehicles for said film crew that would struggle to get through the paths etc.
I think you don’t realize or at least others don’t, that showing us what you do and the way you do it makes you exceptional, unique and truly amazing. Driving your rig over that terrain, wauw 😮 You’re not the KING of rock climbing, but the EMPEROR 🙏
I like watching your videos and I am so glad that you and Matt are around to gey people out! I hope not to need you but knowing you are around is a comfort.
I really enjoy and amazed were you go and this video was great all I can say is you have steel you know what because o almost peaed my pants just watching you two yhat trailer with thatfour wheeler on it I thought Matt and them were nuts were they recovered things you really have screws missing Lol your friend Danny
As much as I enjoy being able to watch the truck wheeling over the rocks, it's always refreshing to have your little soliloquy, your piece to camera, on the drive in. Kinda sets the scene, and all. Cheers, mate. 🙂 PS: Rory's Rambling Recoveries" - I like the idea. Don't worry, you made sense - we all discover our limits when we exceed them. Which usually results in damage, but that's part of the learning curve. 👍
I'm a 73 year old granny who was introduced to your channel through Matt's off road recovery and must say that I was on the edge of my seat watching this video. You may be a little crude an rough around the edges but I really enjoyed your video! Keep who you are. You're a diamond in the rough!
I have been binge watching your videos ever since I got back from Moab last year and I don't care what anyone says... when a man goes solo into places that normal jeepers take a caravan of 37 jeeps, 600 pairs of eyes, gentledudes stacking rocks and barely conquering things like hamburger hill after 12 hours of trying... and this one guy can do it solo while towing a loaded trailer... that does not just warrant street cred and respect... that warrants entire town of Moab being renamed in your honor sir. What you do is bloody impossible in a well built vehicle most of the time and you do it while also filming. Major respect in every single sense of the way.
I started watching you because you did what needs to be done. I still watch for the same reason & the beautiful scenery. Miss seeing Lillie. You showed again this video that stuff breaks for everybody. Fix it & move on. Keep being you.
One thing I learned about you from watching this video Rory is, you are a very patient person. Anyone who had to jockey that trailer as much as you did, shows that. And you are a very skilled driver and very competent in what you do. I enjoy all your video's.
I couldn’t imagine doing some of these trails with just a rig let-a-lone adding a loaded trailer and you do it all solo. Major props man. Keep doing you.
Dont forget hes on 1 ton axles at stock width and its a dually with tires that are also wider. More traction sure but also needs that much more skill to manage all that. He’s a hell of a driver.
I really don’t understand why so many people question you. If they were to watch a few of your videos, then they would surely know that you are probably the most able off-road recovery person out there. Even people who watch you channel question you, I just don’t get it. I was as good at my job as you are at yours, I do understand what professional means and would welcome your help if ever I got stuck. That was tricky in places like you said, being a bit stubborn helps you through. Rear lockers would have helped but you did it anyway without too much difficulty. Thanks Rory, awesome as ever. I was pleased you told people, if they don't like what they see, then don't watch it. Nice one Rory.
I must say that watching some of the recoveries you and Matt make boggles my mind. Especially some of your stuff it just looks so risky. And to those numpties that criticise the way you do stuff. Kick rocks 😂
WOW, You had Me holding My breath, That has to be the most incredible driving I have ever seen, Not to mention the performance of the Equipment. Thank You very much for filming this.
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching you work your way in and out of some really ruff country. Just be yourself and do your thing, never mind what anybody else thinks. The videos are great. Miss seeing Lilly though, she is a sweetheart.
That truck looks as if it couldn't make it across the road, but is is probably the most capable on the internet. Your comments are super interesting and very welcome. Thanks for another nail biting video.
Great driving running the fine line between power and traction. I can listen to that motor lug all day. It an art to know how much throttle, clutch and brake to apply to get the most grip out of tyres.
Guess the customer hadn’t watched any of your videos . I had a Short Box Chevy with a 454 and a Competition High Energy Cam, Turbo 400, NP 203 with a conversion kit, Corp 14 bolt w/ Eaton Locker. Also was the first in Mich to have mud terrain radials (1981). Broke everything on the truck one time or another. My quess is , if you can’t do it they would need a helicopter
Love your videos. Spent 25 years out there and really miss it. Thanks for bringing me back! Remember the Texaco with all the recovery pics. Bygone era.
Your channel is definitely one of a kind and I like that. I agree that when people call to get a recovery they should stay out of the way and let you do your job since you are the expert. This video was very educational when you explain things with trial and error. Keep up the good work. The way you can juggle focusing on the job and filming is an amazing thing
You are so right SIR Rory. They called YOU because THEY got stuck. My husband has had to straighten out a few customers over the years in our line of work for trying to tell him how to do his job. I guess there's just people like that but thank God there's experts in every line of work but there's certainly very few in your line of work. We're all grateful we have you to call when we screw up on the trails (I've got a Talon too) Thanks for showing up
You’re doing a great job videoing what you do while driving over that terrain. I really appreciate your videos the way you do them and your description of why/how you need to drive the lines you do. The customer has no business telling you how to do YOUR job which is your specialty. True subscribers won’t tell you what you should do because we aren’t there doing the job. You know what you’re doing and that’s all that counts in the end. You do awesome work Rory, do what you do best and you subscribers will follow you and grow. Keep up the great work man.

Hey guys, a few years ago, I drove my SLC airport rental Jeep down to Moab and wanted to run a trail or 2 on the day off I had. I picked up a book at the local store to see what trails were available. I picked one that said "moderate trail for experienced drivers". Since I had 30 years experience off-road in my CJ7, I thought it would be interesting enough but not too difficult. My 2 warnings!!!! Never four-wheel alone... and ask people for the latest update on the trails. I failed on both of these... I picked Kane Creek (book said it was moderate), but found out at the last obstacle that the previous Spring, it had flooded and made the last creek crossing extremely difficult. It took me 3 hours to climb the last obstacle out of the bottom of the creek as I had to put one wheel at a time up 3 different rock ledges that were hood height and 120 degrees from each other. This was fun with 29in tires. After I finally climbed to the top, some quads came up behind me with 2 Jeeps on 37's... sure could have used their help 3 hours earlier. These were the guys who told me about the trail condition and that the trail was now rated extreme (don't trust books that are from last season). They didn't believe the stock Jeep had made it up. I replied that it took many hours and a lot of prayer. One quad rider was injured with a swelling brain (wear helmets please) and I rushed him to the hospital, since I was the only one at the top of the trail and closest to the road. What a fun day! But, there were moments when I thought I was calling the rental car facility and telling them their vehicle was next to the waterfall on Kane Creek. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.... takes me back.
Keep doing what you are doing Rory! Sure, it is nice to have a film crew and all that, but I enjoy your style, I learn from you how to avoid situations there in Moab and how to care for my little TJ on the trails. Follow your instincts buddy!! There are a lot of us out here that watch all the vids you produce. God bless ya! Stay safe.
I really enjoy watching your video's, you do good to film and drive the trails all at the same time. Good that you can do welding on the trail, I wonder why you have low pressure in the trailer tyres when they don't need traction, I'm guessing it's for a smoother ride.
First off, love your videos! I’m old and retired, have owned and ran tow trucks for years, some bought, some self built. When your rig flipped over it brought back memories of it almost happening to me a couple of times. I had in my mind built an adjustable V brace that would close against the sides of the boom, adjustable for height and spread and mounted just under the top of the boom. With your skills you could take it out of my mind and build it. It could possibly be helpful retrieving up a steep hill or cliff face. Sounds like the 454 may have an exhaust manifold gasket leaking. Your shop looked like mine, like folks worked there, always tried to have a serious cleanup on Friday evenings. After a really busy week one of the Mechanics said Boss I believe it’ll be easier to just burn this thing down and build another one! Keep the Videos comings, we that have done it for a living, it sure brings back great memories!
You clearly know what you are doing...ignore the armchair quarterbacks! Keep up the good work! People like you are a breath of fresh air! Love the videos!
Just a pleasure watching you doing these recoveries Rory ,makes me smile when folks say you need to do this ...blah blah ,and yet they are the ones who get stuck and have limited skills .That terrain is unreal good job you have BFG'S fitted and i see that you use low pressure on the trailer wheels hopefully softening the ride.Love your vids and your knowledge .Thanks for posting these😃
It's awesome to see your recovery rig built so specific. I grew up in a four wheeling family and we were called out many times to recover rigs. Your rig blows me away. Most 4x4's can't make through that shit alone. To see you pulling rigs over that terrain is amazing and extreme. But having a lot of experience in this sort of stuff, I don't think most viewers can understand how much talent and experience you have. And a solid set of cast iron balls too! Keep the vids coming! Awesome content
LOVE this video! Love your attitude not only did you do it with a loaded trailer you did it by yourself. Keep doing what your doing I'll keep watching.
Re; your attitude. I moonlighted for a family towing company for about 30 years. If you start towing and don't have your exact attitude, you will. I celebrate your attitude!!! I echo your sentiments, if "they" don't like it, they can GTFO. If "they" think you need go pro's, I'm sure you would accept them and use them if they BUY them, and send them to you. Thanks for doing the extra work to film these adventures!!
Thank you Rory for bringing that up you’re absolutely 110% right if they don’t like it unsubscribe go away no problem me personally if I was in your neck of the woods and got stuck I called you for your service I’m gonna let you do your job I’m not gonna ask you how to do it I’m gonna ask you if there’s anything I can do to assist you I am here otherwise I’ll stand by and stay the hell out of the way
The road to improvement is littered with broken parts. True in a lot of jobs. "Let me try it my way. If it doesn't work, at the very least it'll be entertaining". Gotta' love it. Nice bit of navigating.
I don't give a damn about the arm chair quarter backs. I enjoy every one of your videos. I enjoy watching them. You can't have 20 lousy cameras going to get every angle. You be you and keep up the good work. If I didn't live so far away I would be thrilled to come and visit all you guys in Utah.
You work hard Rory, but I gotta say, your office is the best that God can offer. What a place, simply wonderful. Thanks for taking the trouble to publish these videos. Greetings from a Brit (Toyota LC 80) wheeler, living in Romania.❤️🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
Rory, don't let the haters get to you. People are so darned spoiled these days, they have no idea how difficult it is what you do. Self videoing is tough to do. It's not like you're one of those TikTok idiots doing useless selfie poses, you are driving and recovering in some of the toughest landscape on the planet! Respect!
In a world of s--t talkers, it's not your size that allows you to say what you want, it is your skill! I've stated it many times after watching you, you Sir are a great driver and knowledgeable about your equipment. Say and do as you please Rory, I'll still enjoy the Beautiful country you drive through while getting a laugh and at times feeling scared for you. Great stuff from a great American. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
You have the perfect combination of skill, talent, love for your work, and EXPERIENCE! You remind me of my middle son, the diesel repair shop owner, and tow guy. I tend to be easy on my equipment, and he tends to push til it breaks, then just get a bigger tool! Like you, people come from all over because he can get the job done right!
To your statement "you have to break your stuff in order to figure out how to do it better", it makes perfect sense buddy! It used to be called the school of hard knocks, but these days with everyone wanting a university degree, I call it the "University of life". I have about a 300k degree from the "University of Life" (tuns of broken stuff!), and I am verry good at what I do, just like you are. You have mad skills my friend! Keep up the great work!
lol, LOVE the little rant in the first few minutes, lol, you are soooo right! don't tell an EXPERT what to do or not to do, LOL and if you don't like the way the video turns out: go away, ROFLMAO! I LOVE your videos just the way they are and I am baffled by your all-around skills! thank you for the filming, editing and uploading so people around the world can enjoy your work. BIG fan from Belgium.
1:21 It is very true... I have pulled out the mud... trees... rocky hill sides... many a atv 4x4 and side x side with a 250cc big red three-wheeler over the years. Another snazzy recovery my dude.
I enjoyed Rory's recovery ramblings. Some of us are listening. If you can't learn from others, and their knowledge and mistakes then you face a long road ahead. My gosh that recovery had me just as on egde as you were. I appreciate the effort it takes for taking us along, thank you. Stay safe and GOD bless
I finally got the chance to meet Rory and his crew. Rory him self is a super solid very hard-working guy! While I was there he was fixing up the tow truck I believe to be picking up this side-by-side I helped him mount up a tire lol. Anyway I got to see firsthand his fabrication ability and devotion to his work and customers and I must say it was something to be envious of the crew at Moab motorsports have an incredible skill set I myself am a fabricator and I can tell you 100% them boys can build!!! I also learned that Rory himself knows that area like the back of his hand so if you’re fighting with him about how he is gonna get your garbage retrieved do you self a favor and don’t he is literally the best! be happy he’s on your side helping you out of a “Tight spot“
I love the channel and watching you recover and drive places I cannot even walk is so mind blowing..ok..so I walk with a cane and no lockers..ha..my only concern is..everyone says don't go wheeling alone... but I'm really enjoying the skills you show and of course the scenery!
New to your channel here. Started out with Matt's Off Road Recovery and am slowly making my way through what's been called the Utah Universe. One of his videos showed up as a suggestion and things took off from there. I'm watching your videos and liking them. I especially like your explanation of the decisions you make to get these vehicles back on the road. And the ups and downs of dealing with the people you are describing in this video. I never expected anything like that. You are seriously entertaining. Especially your driving skills on the treacherous trails through the mountains where there are inches between the trail and cliffs. I like to watch your channel on my big TV because of the scenery you show.
Love what you do. Don’t let the internet haters and keyboard warriors get to you. Everyone has their own style. If you changed for them, you wouldn’t be Rory. Keep it up!
Here in Ireland the worst you would get stuck in is a lump of COWSHITE in a field or the odd bog Thats some MIGHTY DRIVING as we would say here your some FEEN FOR ONE FEEN Thanks RORY
Rory you are the best multitasker out there! If people don't like what your doing, let them go elsewhere for content. There are only a few of you out there can do this with a smile on your face and a couple jokes thrown in. Keep it up Bud! Your the best! 👍👍
Rory, you are a special person, don't listen to the haters. You know what you are capable of and you have proved it in the past. Keep on doing what you do! Have fun doing it.👍✌️🤟
No bells or whistles or fancey footwork, just one man down and gritty with a fantastic rig getting people out , ( DONT ) ever change the format of you're videos , you are showing it real life , and thats always the best way , keep it up sir you do a fantastic job . that was some pretty amazing driving sir .
You really do make split second decisions during those recoveries. You make it look routine. But every pull out of those canyons, especially Kane, is a very unique custom job. Worth every penny of whatever you charge. Great job Rory!
Shout out from Australia Rory you do a awesome job and I’m thoroughly entertained from your vids. Your truck is a beast love the sound of it. Your skills in the knarly stuff is unmatched I can believe what I see you do.
It “pleases” me to see how you “help” people!! As long as you keep doing what you do (so damn well) I will remain a loyal follower and a true believer in all that you do!!
I knew you were my kind of people just from your rig. But the intro to this video made it so I feel like you could walk into my group and no one would even ask who you are. lol. Watch or don't. Enjoy the show or go away. lol. Still helping people but being honest. Love it. I wheel and love how you prove everyone wrong on what can be done. And always get it done one way or another. The videos will get better the more you do it as with everything. A 360 go pro/camera helps me film by myself because I don't have to worry about pointing it really. Give one a try sometime, easier filming, harder editing but never miss the good stuff.
rori your doing just fine keeping the ignerant the haters and the trolls from getting under your skin keep on letting it roll off your back .no need to try to proove them all wrong because all their talk evaperates and out comes the hoover to clean up and then trying to qualify their earlier statments or whatever kind if weak ass backtracking they gonna do when prooved all wrong ,and that sh!t just aint worth your precious time. i admire the heck out of what you do and im fortunate i have the same kind of warped brain because i follow alot of what you do and i agree..so you have support and believers out here watching and admireing.... so have yourself a good ole time and let it be fun again brother
Who else saw the last triple ledge obstacle and said "That's the easier one??? I would love to go out there and do a ride along with him someday. Awesome job just keep ignoring the haters.
I love your videos just the way they are........A Man with experience is never never never at the mercy of an ego with a theory....... Born in the woods of Maine in 1950. Love your style. Because of your style your truck is truly an off road wrecker and people rescuer.
I'm new to the channel and have only watched 3 or 4 videos so far but the thing that makes me shake my head is that you do a lot of recoveries alone, by yourself. Amazing testicular fortitude dude!
Your comment that you made on this video which, I don't know how the heck I missed this video, was spot on. The way you do your videos is why I like you, it's rough, it's more realistic, and it's to the point, kind of fits your personality. I think you rough around the edges and straight to the point and if people don't like it they can go f off. I've watched you on your more recent videos and it's the same thing and I agree, people don't like it, they don't need to watch. I like it so I'm going to watch, thank you for what you do and appreciate ya.
Not many drivers on this planet would have a set of nuts to drive that hill especially with a trailer. Tremendous skill is involved. This is true art. And very suspenseful
I absolutely understand your rationale my friend. People trying to tell you how to do your job. I’m pretty sure that if I got stuck in the middle of nowhere, I’d want somebody like you, the professional to help me get my vehicle out. I would zip it and learn, especially in 105 degree heat. I was an educator for 43 years. Eight of those years I was a Vocational Counselor at the high school and 2 year college level. The last 10 years I heard some scuttlebutt that I was somewhat arrogant dealing with especially other colleagues. The kids never complained about me I thought because I was reasonable and considerate. I hear you explain things and fully understand that you know your craft. I did too. Some folks misconstrue a confidant individual with arrogance. If a person didn’t need your help, they should then take care of the problem themselves. So, get the hell out of your way and trust your experience and professionalism. Keep on trucking my friend……10-4 over and out ☮️✅‼️
That whole rescue gave me the willies whenever you panned over the canyon! Thanks for the video. I have a friend who goes to Moab every year but I have never been. Might have to join him someday.
Exactly if you don't like it don't watch I definitely don't understand these people that have nothing better to do than act like little school kids. Your channel is one of the best out there just keep being you👍
I don't understand some people, they are too spoiled by regular film crews, I like your video's just the way they are and these people should just be happy that there are people like you to do the heavy lifting.
You are not wrong.
Exactly, While i still consider myself fairly new to the channel, ive made a few suggestions about mounts & hands free whenever possible etc, Though ive never complained, All in all considering he still drives all that while filming most of it is exceptional especially when 1 wrong move & your 15k feet off the side of a cliff.

@@terryreifsteck8864 My thoughts exactly. 😊👍👍
Agreed
“The learning curve is littered with broken parts”. I love that! Thanks.
On 4 wheeling to sometimes you just hav to break something
needs to be a tshirt
@@ihgordonk working on it... Haha.
@@trailmater think of all the gopros ya can weld to trail mater with all that tshirt money
That's most of life.
Truly a professional recovery driver. It takes great creativity to do what you do. Not only drive but also shoot videos for us. Thanks.

I agree with granny, just do what you do. I would love to see a video on your welding rig setup.

Now what you REALLY need to do… is exactly what you’re doing, exactly how you’re doing it!
Those poor sidewalls…no wonder you run BFG’s.
👍👍❤️
Anyone that says you can’t do something obviously hasn’t watched your channel. Keep doing what you do Rory, we enjoy watching.
So many people judge others by their own inability.
I must say that watching some of the recoveries you and Matt make boggles my mind. Especially some of your stuff it just looks so risky. And to those numpties that criticise the way you do stuff. Kick rocks 😂
"Learning curve littered with broke parts"...pretty much sums up rock crawling!
I admire the patience and skill you have to get a job like this done, well and safely and film it for us to watch.
WOW, You had Me holding My breath, That has to be the most incredible driving I have ever seen, Not to mention the performance of the Equipment.
Thank You very much for filming this.
I'm impressed with the quote "It's been a learning curve littered with broken parts". How true! That is one of your master pieces of throw away lines.
That was one heck of a trail !! Excellent job
"It's a learning curve littered with broken parts". Great quote! 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching you work your way in and out of some really ruff country. Just be yourself and do your thing, never mind what anybody else thinks. The videos are great. Miss seeing Lilly though, she is a sweetheart.
That truck looks as if it couldn't make it across the road, but is is probably the most capable on the internet. Your comments are super interesting and very welcome. Thanks for another nail biting video.
It's always fun to watch someone who is good at their job. Love the honesty and creativity.
Great driving running the fine line between power and traction. I can listen to that motor lug all day. It an art to know how much throttle, clutch and brake to apply to get the most grip out of tyres.
I’m in full agreement about being able to listen to the engine all day. It’s a very calming sound. ASMR
Guess the customer hadn’t watched any of your videos . I had a Short Box Chevy with a 454 and a Competition High Energy Cam, Turbo 400, NP 203 with a conversion kit, Corp 14 bolt w/ Eaton Locker. Also was the first in Mich to have mud terrain radials (1981). Broke everything on the truck one time or another. My quess is , if you can’t do it they would need a helicopter
Thank you so much for your honesty. I watch your channel because you are authentic. The world could use more people like you. Thank you
Love seeing how you work the clutch while crawling. Just started driving a stick again and it's so much fun. Great driving man
Love your videos. Spent 25 years out there and really miss it. Thanks for bringing me back! Remember the Texaco with all the recovery pics. Bygone era.
You do what ever you want to do screw every body else love your video just the way they are
Your channel is definitely one of a kind and I like that.
I agree that when people call to get a recovery they should stay out of the way and let you do your job since you are the expert.
This video was very educational when you explain things with trial and error.
Keep up the good work.
The way you can juggle focusing on the job and filming is an amazing thing
You are so right SIR Rory. They called YOU because THEY got stuck. My husband has had to straighten out a few customers over the years in our line of work for trying to tell him how to do his job.

Never four-wheel alone... and ask people for the latest update on the trails. I failed on both of these... I picked Kane Creek (book said it was moderate), but found out at the last obstacle that the previous Spring, it had flooded and made the last creek crossing extremely difficult. It took me 3 hours to climb the last obstacle out of the bottom of the creek as I had to put one wheel at a time up 3 different rock ledges that were hood height and 120 degrees from each other. This was fun with 29in tires. After I finally climbed to the top, some quads came up behind me with 2 Jeeps on 37's... sure could have used their help 3 hours earlier. These were the guys who told me about the trail condition and that the trail was now rated extreme (don't trust books that are from last season). They didn't believe the stock Jeep had made it up. I replied that it took many hours and a lot of prayer. One quad rider was injured with a swelling brain (wear helmets please) and I rushed him to the hospital, since I was the only one at the top of the trail and closest to the road. What a fun day! But, there were moments when I thought I was calling the rental car facility and telling them their vehicle was next to the waterfall on Kane Creek. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.... takes me back.
Me and my wife solo on the weekends.....I totally understand what you went thru. We will wheel, we will succeed
Keep doing what you are doing Rory! Sure, it is nice to have a film crew and all that, but I enjoy your style, I learn from you how to avoid situations there in Moab and how to care for my little TJ on the trails. Follow your instincts buddy!! There are a lot of us out here that watch all the vids you produce. God bless ya! Stay safe.
I really enjoy watching your video's, you do good to film and drive the trails all at the same time. Good that you can do welding on the trail, I wonder why you have low pressure in the trailer tyres when they don't need traction, I'm guessing it's for a smoother ride.
Yes it is. Keps the trailer from bouncing when empty.
It allows the tire to give when making contact with rocks or other sharpe objects that would puncture a fully inflated tire.
You have the best attitude...I enjoy everyone of your videos
First off, love your videos! I’m old and retired, have owned and ran tow trucks for years, some bought, some self built. When your rig flipped over it brought back memories of it almost happening to me a couple of times. I had in my mind built an adjustable V brace that would close against the sides of the boom, adjustable for height and spread and mounted just under the top of the boom. With your skills you could take it out of my mind and build it. It could possibly be helpful retrieving up a steep hill or cliff face. Sounds like the 454 may have an exhaust manifold gasket leaking. Your shop looked like mine, like folks worked there, always tried to have a serious cleanup on Friday evenings. After a really busy week one of the Mechanics said Boss I believe it’ll be easier to just burn this thing down and build another one! Keep the Videos comings, we that have done it for a living, it sure brings back great memories!
Thanks for taking us along on these adventures with you!
The best compliment I can give you is that I would feel safe riding with you.
You two are perfect!
You clearly know what you are doing...ignore the armchair quarterbacks! Keep up the good work! People like you are a breath of fresh air! Love the videos!
Love your vids Rory. Appreciate your work and heh, who doesn't love Trail Mater?
Just a pleasure watching you doing these recoveries Rory ,makes me smile when folks say you need to do this ...blah blah ,and yet they are the ones who get stuck and have limited skills .That terrain is unreal good job you have BFG'S fitted and i see that you use low pressure on the trailer wheels hopefully softening the ride.Love your vids and your knowledge .Thanks for posting these😃
It's awesome to see your recovery rig built so specific. I grew up in a four wheeling family and we were called out many times to recover rigs. Your rig blows me away. Most 4x4's can't make through that shit alone. To see you pulling rigs over that terrain is amazing and extreme. But having a lot of experience in this sort of stuff, I don't think most viewers can understand how much talent and experience you have. And a solid set of cast iron balls too! Keep the vids coming! Awesome content
MAN! I moved my chair all around and swiveled it all over the place getting you up this hill but thank goodness WE MADE IT! WOW!!!!
LOVE this video! Love your attitude not only did you do it with a loaded trailer you did it by yourself. Keep doing what your doing I'll keep watching.
Re; your attitude.
I moonlighted for a family towing company for about 30 years.
If you start towing and don't have your exact attitude, you will.
I celebrate your attitude!!!
I echo your sentiments, if "they" don't like it, they can GTFO.
If "they" think you need go pro's, I'm sure you would accept them and use them if they BUY them, and send them to you.
Thanks for doing the extra work to film these adventures!!
You do a good job recovering , filming , and putting it all together. People that doesn't think so over there is the exit door. Excellent !!
Thank you Rory for bringing that up you’re absolutely 110% right if they don’t like it unsubscribe go away no problem me personally if I was in your neck of the woods and got stuck I called you for your service I’m gonna let you do your job I’m not gonna ask you how to do it I’m gonna ask you if there’s anything I can do to assist you I am here otherwise I’ll stand by and stay the hell out of the way
I Really Don't Think ANYONE Shows the Details As Good As You, I Mean The Tires The Cliffs The Edges ,Rocks & So Much More GREAT Videos 👍👍👍
Do t let them sumbitches get to ya. Most everyone that watches really appreciates what you do and how you film it!! From a Jeeper myself👍
Yes you do amazing. There will always be haters , don’t mind them .
The road to improvement is littered with broken parts. True in a lot of jobs. "Let me try it my way. If it doesn't work, at the very least it'll be entertaining". Gotta' love it. Nice bit of navigating.
I don't give a damn about the arm chair quarter backs. I enjoy every one of your videos. I enjoy watching them. You can't have 20 lousy cameras going to get every angle. You be you and keep up the good work. If I didn't live so far away I would be thrilled to come and visit all you guys in Utah.
You work hard Rory, but I gotta say, your office is the best that God can offer. What a place, simply wonderful. Thanks for taking the trouble to publish these videos. Greetings from a Brit (Toyota LC 80) wheeler, living in Romania.❤️🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
Rory, don't let the haters get to you. People are so darned spoiled these days, they have no idea how difficult it is what you do. Self videoing is tough to do. It's not like you're one of those TikTok idiots doing useless selfie poses, you are driving and recovering in some of the toughest landscape on the planet! Respect!
In a world of s--t talkers, it's not your size that allows you to say what you want, it is your skill! I've stated it many times after watching you, you Sir are a great driver and knowledgeable about your equipment. Say and do as you please Rory, I'll still enjoy the Beautiful country you drive through while getting a laugh and at times feeling scared for you.
Great stuff from a great American.
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
You have the perfect combination of skill, talent, love for your work, and EXPERIENCE! You remind me of my middle son, the diesel repair shop owner, and tow guy. I tend to be easy on my equipment, and he tends to push til it breaks, then just get a bigger tool! Like you, people come from all over because he can get the job done right!
To your statement "you have to break your stuff in order to figure out how to do it better", it makes perfect sense buddy! It used to be called the school of hard knocks, but these days with everyone wanting a university degree, I call it the "University of life". I have about a 300k degree from the "University of Life" (tuns of broken stuff!), and I am verry good at what I do, just like you are. You have mad skills my friend! Keep up the great work!
lol, LOVE the little rant in the first few minutes, lol, you are soooo right! don't tell an EXPERT what to do or not to do, LOL and if you don't like the way the video turns out: go away, ROFLMAO!
I LOVE your videos just the way they are and I am baffled by your all-around skills!
thank you for the filming, editing and uploading so people around the world can enjoy your work.
BIG fan from Belgium.
You have got some great angles on this video thanks.
1:21 It is very true... I have pulled out the mud... trees... rocky hill sides... many a atv 4x4 and side x side with a 250cc big red three-wheeler over the years. Another snazzy recovery my dude.
I enjoyed Rory's recovery ramblings. Some of us are listening. If you can't learn from others, and their knowledge and mistakes then you face a long road ahead. My gosh that recovery had me just as on egde as you were. I appreciate the effort it takes for taking us along, thank you. Stay safe and GOD bless
I finally got the chance to meet Rory and his crew. Rory him self is a super solid very hard-working guy! While I was there he was fixing up the tow truck I believe to be picking up this side-by-side I helped him mount up a tire lol.
Anyway I got to see firsthand his fabrication ability and devotion to his work and customers and I must say it was something to be envious of the crew at Moab motorsports have an incredible skill set I myself am a fabricator and I can tell you 100% them boys can build!!!
I also learned that Rory himself knows that area like the back of his hand so if you’re fighting with him about how he is gonna get your garbage retrieved do you self a favor and don’t he is literally the best! be happy he’s on your side helping you out of a “Tight spot“
I love the channel and watching you recover and drive places I cannot even walk is so mind blowing..ok..so I walk with a cane and no lockers..ha..my only concern is..everyone says don't go wheeling alone... but I'm really enjoying the skills you show and of course the scenery!
New to your channel here. Started out with Matt's Off Road Recovery and am slowly making my way through what's been called the Utah Universe. One of his videos showed up as a suggestion and things took off from there. I'm watching your videos and liking them. I especially like your explanation of the decisions you make to get these vehicles back on the road. And the ups and downs of dealing with the people you are describing in this video. I never expected anything like that. You are seriously entertaining. Especially your driving skills on the treacherous trails through the mountains where there are inches between the trail and cliffs. I like to watch your channel on my big TV because of the scenery you show.
Love what you do. Don’t let the internet haters and keyboard warriors get to you. Everyone has their own style. If you changed for them, you wouldn’t be Rory. Keep it up!
Here in Ireland the worst you would get stuck in is a lump of COWSHITE in a field or the odd bog Thats some MIGHTY DRIVING as we would say here your some FEEN FOR ONE FEEN Thanks RORY
Rory you are the best multitasker out there! If people don't like what your doing, let them go elsewhere for content. There are only a few of you out there can do this with a smile on your face and a couple jokes thrown in. Keep it up Bud! Your the best! 👍👍
Rory, you are a special person, don't listen to the haters. You know what you are capable of and you have proved it in the past. Keep on doing what you do! Have fun doing it.👍✌️🤟
Rory, the view from your "office" is to die for! Talk about natural beauty!!!
No bells or whistles or fancey footwork, just one man down and gritty with a fantastic rig getting people out , ( DONT ) ever change the format of you're videos , you are showing it real life , and thats always the best way , keep it up sir you do a fantastic job . that was some pretty amazing driving sir .
Most of us subscribe to this channel because of the honesty. You are being real. Keep up the good work.
You really do make split second decisions during those recoveries. You make it look routine. But every pull out of those canyons, especially Kane, is a very unique custom job. Worth every penny of whatever you charge. Great job Rory!
Love the out the door view of the tire. That’s how I used to record me off road.
Yeah that door view is dope
I love your channel, I watch the background as much as anything else. Get friends watching because you have the best of U.
T.
Shout out from Australia
Rory you do a awesome job and I’m thoroughly entertained from your vids. Your truck is a beast love the sound of it. Your skills in the knarly stuff is unmatched I can believe what I see you do.
It “pleases” me to see how you “help” people!! As long as you keep doing what you do (so damn well) I will remain a loyal follower and a true believer in all that you do!!
I won't change a thing everything you do is amazing and from your experience and skill set !
I will agree with if you don't like what you see then quit watching -- As for me I like honest and real and that's why I watch -- Keep being you !!!
I knew you were my kind of people just from your rig. But the intro to this video made it so I feel like you could walk into my group and no one would even ask who you are. lol. Watch or don't. Enjoy the show or go away. lol. Still helping people but being honest. Love it. I wheel and love how you prove everyone wrong on what can be done. And always get it done one way or another. The videos will get better the more you do it as with everything. A 360 go pro/camera helps me film by myself because I don't have to worry about pointing it really. Give one a try sometime, easier filming, harder editing but never miss the good stuff.
Your videos are great. You are the kindest man . I love to hear you talk and laugh. Don’t let anyone try to change you. God bless
Rory. I learn a lot from your videos, plus the scenery is great. Thanks.
rori your doing just fine keeping the ignerant the haters and the trolls from getting under your skin keep on letting it roll off your back .no need to try to proove them all wrong because all their talk evaperates and out comes the hoover to clean up and then trying to qualify their earlier statments or whatever kind if weak ass backtracking they gonna do when prooved all wrong ,and that sh!t just aint worth your precious time.
i admire the heck out of what you do and im fortunate i have the same kind of warped brain because i follow alot of what you do and i agree..so you have support and believers out here watching and admireing....
so have yourself a good ole time and let it be fun again brother
Who else saw the last triple ledge obstacle and said "That's the easier one??? I would love to go out there and do a ride along with him someday. Awesome job just keep ignoring the haters.
Very very awesome video. You are super talented doing all that solo. I like how you showed your foot work at the end too.
You’re doing great! The raw material is real and not bastardized. Not only that but just about every shot off rode shows the beauty of Utah. 👍🏼🇺🇸
I love your videos just the way they are........A Man with experience is never never never at the mercy of an ego with a theory....... Born in the woods of Maine in 1950. Love your style. Because of your style your truck is truly an off road wrecker and people rescuer.
I'm new to the channel and have only watched 3 or 4 videos so far but the thing that makes me shake my head is that you do a lot of recoveries alone, by yourself. Amazing testicular fortitude dude!
Your comment that you made on this video which, I don't know how the heck I missed this video, was spot on. The way you do your videos is why I like you, it's rough, it's more realistic, and it's to the point, kind of fits your personality. I think you rough around the edges and straight to the point and if people don't like it they can go f off. I've watched you on your more recent videos and it's the same thing and I agree, people don't like it, they don't need to watch. I like it so I'm going to watch, thank you for what you do and appreciate ya.
Not many drivers on this planet would have a set of nuts to drive that hill especially with a trailer. Tremendous skill is involved. This is true art. And very suspenseful
If you’re rescuing someone, they shouldn’t give a rats, how you do it. Love the videos, just how they are. Keep it up.
Love the videos as-is. Thanks for sharing with us and keep being you, Rory.
I absolutely understand your rationale my friend. People trying to tell you how to do your job. I’m pretty sure that if I got stuck in the middle of nowhere, I’d want somebody like you, the professional to help me get my vehicle out. I would zip it and learn, especially in 105 degree heat. I was an educator for 43 years. Eight of those years I was a Vocational Counselor at the high school and 2 year college level. The last 10 years I heard some scuttlebutt that I was somewhat arrogant dealing with especially other colleagues. The kids never complained about me I thought because I was reasonable and considerate. I hear you explain things and fully understand that you know your craft. I did too. Some folks misconstrue a confidant individual with arrogance. If a person didn’t need your help, they should then take care of the problem themselves. So, get the hell out of your way and trust your experience and professionalism.
Keep on trucking my friend……10-4 over and out ☮️✅‼️
Such a legend!! Can’t stop watching these videos…Thanks Rory
That whole rescue gave me the willies whenever you panned over the canyon! Thanks for the video. I have a friend who goes to Moab every year but I have never been. Might have to join him someday.
I appreciate you uploading videos at all I enjoy watching your mechanical skill, fixing things on the fly and what your rig is capable of
I know you thank us for watching but I and many others thank you for the awesome videos, Good job mate.
Exactly if you don't like it don't watch I definitely don't understand these people that have nothing better to do than act like little school kids. Your channel is one of the best out there just keep being you👍
