    • @moparman1962
      @moparman1962 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      Matt's experience and wisdom come through as a teachable moment often...to the customer, and more importantly to hundreds of thousands of his Subscribers now and over time. Matt loves off-roading, he is an avid trails and obstacles guy and he loves the rigs that can do those things...I'm sure he truly does hate seeing a nice rig destroyed for the most part by water or an accident.

      "Go get familiar with your new Jeep that doesn't do the things that used to do"
      That's wise advice, I don't sense the attitude of elitism out of him, it's not a Land Rover, Hummer - it's a 👇
      👉Jeep 👈
      ☝️
      And even if it was a Land Rover- Who cares?
      These folks are off-road, doing things that Matt does in his spare time for fun.
      -how did you twist that?
      We know how to get unstuck, perform these types of tasks because we've been there ourselves
      This guy loves off-roading, it's his hobby-you don't think he drove down a river or onto a path he should not have?
      Of course we do? It's fun! 😃
      and that's how we know how to get unstuck!
      Look-he's got a few gray hairs... He's been getting stuck and unstuck probably most of his life.
      So the guy had a vacation adventure he's never going to forget... I'm betting Matt and his friends kick back over a root beer Saturday nights, and chuckle at the stupid things they did when they were kids, with less experience.
      Not like he was driving around drunk with his kids in the car and went off a cliff.
      I don't punish people for being adventurous-he's doing the same thing at 50 years old that Matt did at 15.
      Only the guy with the Jeep doesn't have the same fifteen-year-old's experience.
      I don't recall him using the word "expensive"
      And he knows he'd be a hypocrite - it's his job to help people-if it didn't happen this often, he wouldn't make a living at it.
      And I'm guessing his resume to qualify him for this type of work, are a few life experiences of getting stuck!
      It's a Jeep!
      They're just having family fun!
      His having a shiny new red Jeep doesn't bother the fact that I like to drive 1975 beat-up international harvesters... We're all happy!

      Having crossed the Southern Utah streams and rivers for decades in my off roading adventures, Matts words of wisdom about not being able to stop rings so very true. The sand moves, your vehicle sinks, you can't dig out because the sand is moving. Even with a light ATV type vehicle, getting out once you sink is tough.

"all the roads were gated so we just followed the river" . Besides the risk to him, vehicle, family, it was incredibly irresponsible and selfish. So much for tread lightly.

    What a day! Matt is such a patient person who systematically and metrically problem solved a very challenging Jeep extract. Then while still wet and I am sure somewhat frustrated, instantly pivots to educator by having Tom to the extract on the car. Always teaching, and mentoring for others to become better. This is what a real leader does. So very impressed and so very glad this video dropped so I could watch during breakfast here in Iowa. Very much appreciate your entire “Matt’s Family”!

    I got stuck in a river once for 2 days. There just happened to be a T bar on the bottom that perfectly shot up and severed my shift cable on the trans. In addition to the $1k tow bill, I got to replace the fluids in both diffs, the t case, and trans, plus it took a year for the last of the ton of sand to shake it's way out of the chassis. I don't do water crossings anymore without being able to see the bottom and walking across first.

    The years of experience it takes to pull each of these vehicles out is just mind boggling! And it's not just pulling out vehicles; it's understanding where in the desert they are, how the terrain works and varies throughout the year, etc! And Matt and his crew do this like a walk in the park. You guys are awesome to watch! 😎😎😁🤯🤯🤯Keep up the great works!

    Matt's frustration with the customer was palpable through the screen, I'm amazed he didn't chew the guy out more. People like this jeep owner are why we have fewer and fewer OHV areas - they simply can't stop themselves from going off the trail and ruining the environment for their own amusement. Hopefully their insurance doesn't buy them a new Jeep, and they learn a lesson... doubtful, though.

    • @CRneu
      @CRneu ปีที่แล้ว +57

      yup. Can't stress enough that this behavior is exactly why OHV areas are closing everyday. Everything is gated because of this behavior. The exact type of folks that complain about it being gated are why access is limited.
