3 of the craziest thing I've ever seen happened that day... 1. That poor guy in the rzr almost died and I'm not sure he even knew it. That rock was totally in the right place at the right time. 2. Recovering a plane with a vehicle, I had no idea planes were that light. I think they said total was 1200 lbs. And 3. Lizzy walking off the mountain alone. She is the real deal! Thanks for inviting us out Matt, awesome day 👌 -from other Matt
Ya that wasn’t to smart just hang on to the wheel and go for the ride!!!! That was a good way to lose that arm or at the least get it broke up real bad 😱😱😱😱🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
@@outdoors-gs9td that was a nasty spot. I wouldn't be surprised to find out other vehicles have come to rest against that rock. In Colorado there's a nasty spot with a big bolder like that and I've seen a couple pictures of rollovers stopped by it
I'm latin, from the Caribbean actually, so let me see how can I explain this in english.... One of the things I admire most about Matt and everybody around him, is that no one behave or believe as they are the best of what they do. Everybody gives ideas, discuss them and take the better one, no arguing , and if doesn't work, well ... brainstorming again. Its like they are all super god friends and family. There is so much respect on the air. The fact that he call for help when he knows he wont get them out, says it all. Down to earth, sure of what hes is capable off all the time. Best regards from the Dominican Republic to all of you guys
I said it before and I'll say it again. The state of Utah should be paying you guys for all the exposure to the absolutely stunning natural beauty. It really makes me want to go there.
Lizzie is such a cool person. Every video I’m amazed by her. I thought she was kidding that she had to make an appointment and she was going to walk down the mountain! The whole epic drone b-roll of her trekking down was absolutely hilarious, the mad lad, she actually did it 😂
I want to thank Matt and crew for sharing Ed with the world. Not sure what it is about that man but he always makes me smile when I get the privilege of seeing him in a video, God bless you all.
I agree Ed is a very loveable person just like Matt is I think they are each other's ride or die!! God Bless that whole crew that was an amazing rescue
@@powershop1903 it’s great content. I don’t think these type of recoveries would be profitable without the channel. Most of the people are probably going up for the fun, Matt probably pays expenses.
While the boys are rescuing an airplane (!), our beloved Lizzie hiked 3,000 miles to civilization, saved a lost child from a bear, caught a world record brown trout with her bare hands… all under the watchful management of Grand Master Ed, who reminded Lizzie that he walked to the Sierra Nevada Mountains both ways uphill in the snow back in 1883…. Love you guys!
When Matt said Lizzy had to go for an appointment an hike out of there I though "Yea Really" but really saw her go on her own by herself , what a girl she's the Bomb" take that you purist that in another of Matts video video someone made comment that she needed to leave the show, she's a precious commodity she makes me laugh.
@@coconut199 whoever said that about Lizzie must be a snowflake who feels his masculinity (if he even has any) is threatened by such a tough girl. Lizzie is amazing and tough. I wish I knew how to weld like her. She always exhibits a terrific attitude and will tackle anything.
As a private pilot, even though I don't fly anymore, I did all of my initial training in a Cessna 150/152. I still remember that at 8000 feet a 150 is pretty close to it's maximum performance capability depending on winds, density altitude and gross weight.. Flying that Cessna in a mountainous area is always a little bit risky. I'm not here to criticize the pilot since I don't know all of the circumstances. I'm glad he was OK. Great recovery by all!
Com'l pilot here with mountain training - you're right, the 150 has almost NO excess climb ability at 9300 feet...and you NEVER put yourself in a situation where a downdraft can ruin your day...you always cross ridges at 45 degrees and or leave room to turn around if you can outclimb rising terrain. This guy is lucky to have survived this classic accident. Even better you stay on the ground when the winds are blowing hard.
@@danielhawley6817 The plane had not been out there very long and it does not appear to have been legal any time in the last 15 years. My first thought was the plane was put down due to weather or not enough power to fly through the heat of the desert at that altitude. How did the pilot land it without ripping the plane apart?
That's what happens sometimes when you put all your character specs into one thing. I can hike for hours without tripping on a single root or rock, but easily trip over my own feet walking in the parking lot. (i wish there was a reset button, so i can respec my character)

Walking off the mountain alone was pretty baller. Someone needs to animate a gif with the sunglasses and cigar sliding on screen. I’d have made it about 50 yards before I’d have tripped or misjudged a drop, and come limping back 20 minutes later in need of first aid care. Either that, or no one would ever hear from me again. They say on a still night, if you listen very close, you can still hear an asthmatic voice huffing and puffing “Hello? Anybody? I think I’m lost!”
@@bigjeep2195 I suppose the UTV flip was a scam too? Lizzy is tough chic. I give props to any woman who can weld better then most men and jump in vehicles stuck and help drive them out.
This comment is right on point. Team is always upbeat, having a good time, but still just doing the job. None of the stupid “dude” showboating you see getting in the way of the work on other channels. (That foolishness has a market, I’m just not part of it.)
Rudy's quick action in getting to the accident with the RZR & analyzing what was needed to secure it & the driver was the kind of thing first responders must have & is often the difference between life & death. Great job buddy!
I can almost hear Ed's calm, slow drawn voice casually say to Matt, while looking straight ahead: " that guy back there just rolled off the mountain, and it's 65 degrees and sunny".
You know you are doing something right when you can get a group that big together and everyone of them is truly enjoying what they are doing. You have something very special going on Matt. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
That was of the best recoveries yet.. The rollover, glad that he was OK. And Lizzy, walking off that mountain, guts and determination. One of the best crew's out there. You guys are awesome.
Lizzie just walking through the middle of legitimate nowhere was cool- that drone footage was amazing. And a special thanks to escorting her to the road- that’s awesome.
@@outandabout259 It's good that you feel that way. She was a mile horizontally and 900 feet vertically from the nearest road hiking a ridgeline. She wasn't in any hurry. She certainly wasn't walking a 15 minute mile. That would be pretty fast walk for someone her height. Most drones can hover for about 20 minutes. Flying distance and climbing shortens the time.
One of the best mats off road recovery videos, airplane recovery in impossible area, epic rollover with sphincter clinching action, Lizzie achieves G.O.A.T status, cinematic drone shots, this video had it all.
Our friend was visiting from Ely and mentioned watching your channel. I told them your shop was just down the road and they can buy your merch there. When we got to the shop they told us you were out recovering a plane. Very cool to see the recovery.
Rudy is a quick thinker. This video really showed just how intune he is with what's happening and the tools he has on hand. Lizzy is awesome! Walking off the mountain alone takes some serious gusto. Well done
My all time favorite adventure with all of you . My admiration of Lizzy only increased when she went off on foot . No one is just an extra , everyone is a co-star to me .
1. Im a Saint George local and I can't believe I've been watching this channel since it had about 40000 subs. Crazy growth! 2. That guy in the utv is SO lucky to be alive! He should be thanking God for large random rocks! 3. Lizzie is one hell of a young woman! 4. You guys make me proud to be a southern Utah local! Love the channel, Happy Holidays to all of you and keep it Rowdy!
Rudy was a very valuable component to this recovery! I watched him closely and he was always right on the spot doing what was needed. Proud of you Rudy!!
I’ve watched a lot of Matt and crew recoveries, but by far this one of the best I’ve seen. Was great to see Ed. Lizzy is a real trooper by walking out. Not so sure I would have. Kind of think I’d cancel appointment. Well done!
@@4wheelliving132 yep, it was nice and clear for a good view! their a tight group and have fun but safe as possible. cant predict it all! lol as seen today, and thank God for that rock!
@@straybullitt It looked like a beautiful area to take a short hike, on a nice day, I think Lizzy is pretty at home in the back country, I don''t think it was a hardship for her.
Wow. That was exhilarating. I'm glad no one was hurt. And when you said Lizzy had an appointment, I was expecting you to say she would be taking one of the vehicles back. But no, she just casually walks off the mountain back to civilization.
Ahh yes, classic….this supposed omniscient god put the rock 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 there to stop the guys from sliding down the canyon, instead of just stopping them from flipping over in the first place.
@@norcodaev God gave us free will to do what we want. In this case God was gracious enough to stop the side by side and let that guy live another day. God bless you!
You have a 1967 Cessna 150 with a Lycoming O-235-L2C , 110 hp engine. And you are right about how light they are, usually around 985lbs to 1100lbs. It's possible this plane can be restored, but more likely, it will be parted out. Since there was a prop strike, the engine will need to be rebuilt, and a rebuilt 0-235 is worth about $25,000 (unless it broke the crankshaft). landing gear, instruments, etc all are valuable. Sad to see the little bird get busted up, but extremely happy that the pilot walked away from it.
I yelled right when the Razor started flipping and forgot I was at home watching the video, wife was cooking and thought I was yelling at her to stop cooking the turkey LOL.. Good recovery and I was at the edge of my seat during the ascent of the narrow road. This video sure made me feel like I was there in person. This was an awesome recovery with the whole group involved👍🇺🇸..
@@starhawke380 it looked more like a reaction than an actual attempt to stop it from rolling. like when you fall over you throw your arms out to catch yourself without even thinking
That was some amazing scouting by Johnny. He found the way in. He found the plane. He found several lunch options. I am grateful that the pilot nor anyone else was hurt.
I was legitimately scared when that utv started going over. That rock that stopped a 1,000 foot roll must have been place there for this sole reason. Glad everyone is okay.
So if someone does roll off a mountain because there isn't a rock to stop them...does that mean...god wanted them dead? (since you seem to be implying god put this particular rock there to save this guy)
@@isaackvasager9957 No. I don't believe in God, but good job trying to pick a fight. What I do believe in is that we are all on this crazy ride together. So whether some call it luck, fate, coincidence, or even a miracle... what does it matter? Smile and know the universe, however it happened, protected a man's life and saved a lot of grief and heartache that could have been caused by a rock not being in the right place at the right time. Chill out and appreciate that an enormous amount coincidences had to happen starting millions of years ago to protect that man and his family & friends that day. Call it whatever you want, but I can appreciate that. Can you?
@@jasoncrimmel well said my friend. right place right time for the rock is kind of an understatement but it was certainly there for a reason. guy must have some other things to still do in this life because that was almost certain death. if you wanna call it god then yes, if it’s pure chance then that’s alright too but i thing there’s gotta be a little bit of divine intervention in situations like that
It’s a shame the wind flipped it, the bulk of the damage was from that. The only forced landing damage is the nose gear and the engine. Hats off to the team for getting it dismantled and out without more damage
@@MotoVloggedOUT 100% loss. When you consider a 150 sells for $25-35k in decent shape, the cost to rebuild would far exceed the value. EVERYTHING in aircraft repair--especially certified (I.e. production) models--costs more than you'd ever imagine.
Exactly recovery team, not sure if that was pot luck or someone of higher authority was watching out for them! The ride they took was bad enough looking the way it was! Just glad they caught the rock and didn't go anyfurther!
Over the course of my Navy career I actually have done several (too many) aircraft and helicopter recoveries after mishaps in the mountains outside of Fallon (and on the base), in the Lake Tahoe area, the Southern California desert, Morocco, the Air Force Base on Guam and an air base in Kuwait. I benefited from using helicopters to lift the wreckage/engines/landing gear off the mountain, being able to tow the aircraft with it partially on a dolly, or being near a road for a crane to drive in so I could lift onto a dolly or truck. Well done! Thank you for sharing this.
Let's all step back and take a minute to appreciate what a fantastic off road driver Matt is. Moving that plane down the mountain on a trailer!? Well done on this from everyone. Really enjoyed watching.0
@@Rat-Builder I didn't say every single part was salvageable. Some might not be. But replaceable wings are available as are almost every part for that very popular airframe. The damage wasn't that significant from appearances.
Guy goes on a scouting mission to find an airplane and sees more bucks than he can shake a stick at. Or. Guy goes on a scouting mission for bucks and finds an airplane. Lol hard to stay focused either way
bucks can smell your need to see them so all year long when you cant get after them you see them everywhere but the second you get the rifle they no longer exist they retreat into the shadow realm they live to spite us lmao
@@alfonsoalonzo While building a patio, I watched at least eight deer gamboling in my pumpkin field, eating blossoms, within 50 yards of all the racket I made. The day the DNR delivered the nuisance permit was the last day I saw them. I didn't know they could read. And, at 50 yards or more.
Man! What an episode! Way to be on the ball with shouting "Hands in" as the RAZR was tipping. A crushed arm would have immediately changed that trip to a medical rescue. Nice seeing the teamwork and a very "different" recovery.
Ah, aircraft recoveries. Even when it's just off the runway they tend to get interesting. When they pick remote locations a lot of ingenuity tends to come into play. I've been involved in almost a dozen over the years. You got really lucky with the RZR trail machine. At only 50 inches wide and approximately 8 feet long they tumble pretty good when you get them rolling. That rock was in a very fortunate location. Good times and fantastic that nobody got hurt in either the plane or RZR mishaps.
That was one of the best and most interesting recoveries to date. Sure glad the rock was there to stop that side by side as well. Awesome job to all you guys. 👍👍 from western Canada 🇨🇦
WOW. This was an amazing video in many ways. Hats off to Lizzy for walking off the mountain. She is a gorgeous young lady with so many talents and a great asset to Matt's team when doing work in the shop, an excellent welder and mechanic and has exceptional driving skills.I hope she starts a channel of her own when she leaves Matt. I would like to watch her when she gets on the ranch. I an sure she will excel in her ranching skills.
The run of the mill rides all blend in together after a while. I will remember hydro-locking my Jeep Cherokee in a creek 100 miles from home, forever. One time a bunch of us dirt bike riders came upon a Jeep hopelessly stuck in a mud hole 35 miles from the road. We gave him, his Wife, and his Daughter a ride home. I was the only one of us with buddy pegs, so the Wife went with me. I told her to hang on to me, and she did very lightly. The first time that I had to gas it to get through a snow drift, she grabbed on TIGHT. LOL
You guys pretty much recovered everything so far.. and Lizzy is a true warrior walking that far all by her self.. glad she is safe...and the guy that almost tumbled down that hill... God was watching him...
You guys are awesome. Lizzy has an appointment so she just walks down a freaking mountain to go to it. Ya'all do things daily that no one does in their lifetime. On top of it all, you rescue vehicles in extreme conditions.
You guys never fail to prove you're one hell of a crew. Side note, any video Ed is in he honestly makes it infinitely better, he's just got some amazing vibes. Not saying the rest of the crew doesn't, just saying there just something perfect about Ed.
Ed is out there, living his best life, willing to help any way he is able. Most guys his age have settled into the recliner with the heat up to 80. I know Matt and the crew are watching out for Ed, but it would not surprise me at all to see one where Ed is inside a rollover and just shrugs it off during the recap.
Unfortunate place to land! Couple years ago, we happened a across a glider pilot that went in hard in the East bound lanes of I-90 just barely into Montana from Idaho. Still no idea whether he went under or over the overpass at the top. He lived, but was a bit worse for the wear! I learned to fly aerobatics in an RV-7a....that bird, and her owner, unfortunately went in at about 200mph in the Coast Range in Oregon just West of McMinnville when the weather decided to sock in to the deck without warning. Old P51 Mustang pilot, and a damn good man. I helped put rivets in the wings of that plane when I was younger. My Grandfather's best friend. They are both gone now. Rest in Peace Al, and Grandpa.
I watched this video when it was released, and just watched it again. I'm still impressed by everyone's problem-solving skills and teamwork. And still awed by Lizzie casually walking off he mountain like she was just going to the local convenience store for a Slurpee. If I had a daughter I'd want her to be like Lizzie. 👍
I too watched the video before and just watched it again. I am also impressed with Lizzie. I always said, if Lizzie goes, I go. Then it happened and I stayed, BUT I do miss her. She was a hard worker, a very pleasant person, and had a excellent sense of humor. The channel is still good but it's not the same.
Vehicle recovery is something I usually get pretty bored with pretty quick. Somehow, you always have the most interesting recoveries and make them so interesting that I can hardly wait for a new video to arrive. This was an amazing and very interesting recovery. Great production, great crew and very well done. Thanks for bringing us along.
I’ve been hooked on this channel binge watching for about a week. These are good people. I’ve only heard one cuss word in probably 50 videos and Matt’s patience is unmatched! I’m for sure team Lizzy. Great content
Instinct and common sense rarely go hand in hand with fear as an undertone! Just glad to see everyone able to shout out keeping injuries from occurring.
That rock and staggeringly lucky direction of fall looked to be the only things between a video people can laugh about, and that poor guy not surviving to tell the tale 👀 Makes you remember just how dangerous Matt's crew's job is.
All have way too much fun to call this work! I enjoy watching you all doing what you do but i don't have the intestinal fortitude for it. Lucky for alot of people you do! Thanks for taking us along.
I've got a parachute that could go with it. Got a real good deal on it. Only used once, never opened. Its got some staining on the fabric but its in good shape otherwise.
I appreciate your videos showing off great work ethic, kindness and positive vibes. It is also good to see youtubers that don't live solely off TH-cam views and merch, but have an honest business that they can share with people who enjoy seeing how the world really is, not just made up ones for views.
There were two miracles on the mountain, no injuries to pilot and to gentlemen that rolled the RZR. What viewers may not know is very remote high desert location is 6+ hours North West from Matt's place in Southern, Utah. Lizzy is beyond impressive and brave! It's rattlesnake country, but even rattlesnakes wouldn't dare not mess with her. As someone that has hunted this area, it's far more steep and rugged than video shows. Very impressive team work and great recovery!
New to this channel and blown away!! As if the great outdoors, remote & treacherous roads and outstanding vista views weren't enough, the recovery crew is made up of personable and knowledgeable folks!! The on-the-go (or on-the-fly in this case) engineering is fun to watch and the whole process very entertaining. I'm a fan!
I"ve done that! Well without the crash! Bought a TriPacer in PA - rented a U-haul truck and took some tools and drove down there. Removed the wings, pulled it up the ramps and loaded it. Hung the wings inside the truck, left the back roll up door open with the tail sticking out. Drove 200 miles back home, easy - but interstate driving is better than that mountain trail..
This recovery was actually one of the best I have seen in a while excluding the Golden Nugget recovery. I honestly got nervous when I saw that rollover because it looked like a long drop-off! Thar rock was in the right place at the right time.
It rare to have such a great guy as a friend that will drop everything without a thought or expectation of repayment, I have a couple like this that I've known nearly my entire sixty years of life. Nice to see there are still good people out there.
3 of the craziest thing I've ever seen happened that day... 1. That poor guy in the rzr almost died and I'm not sure he even knew it. That rock was totally in the right place at the right time. 2. Recovering a plane with a vehicle, I had no idea planes were that light. I think they said total was 1200 lbs. And 3. Lizzy walking off the mountain alone. She is the real deal! Thanks for inviting us out Matt, awesome day 👌 -from other Matt
And he almost crushed his arm just before almost dying. His lucky day getting out of there unharmed
My stomach dropped when he started rolling.. that's a LONG way down.
that rzr tiping was a brown pants moment !
He definitely knew it. Watch how long it takes to get a response of only, "ya, i'm good". Glad everyone came off the recovery safely.

Rudy's quick action in getting to the accident with the RZR & analyzing what was needed to secure it & the driver was the kind of thing first responders must have & is often the difference between life & death. Great job buddy!
Lizzie definitely should make a channel! There’s things she does that many guys I know wouldn’t do.
Absolute Utah badass!
I can almost hear Ed's calm, slow drawn voice casually say to Matt, while looking straight ahead: " that guy back there just rolled off the mountain, and it's 65 degrees and sunny".
Too funny!
"...We'll git im out"
That hurt, I wasn't expecting your comment to be so funny, I laughed so hard that it hurt me 😂😂😂
You know you are doing something right when you can get a group that big together and everyone of them is truly enjoying what they are doing. You have something very special going on Matt. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
That was of the best recoveries yet.. The rollover, glad that he was OK.
And Lizzy, walking off that mountain, guts and determination.
One of the best crew's out there. You guys are awesome.
Looked like she was following a cattle trail. And, too cold for rattlesnakes. She made the walk look shorter than the drive.
Lizzie just walking through the middle of legitimate nowhere was cool- that drone footage was amazing. And a special thanks to escorting her to the road- that’s awesome.
That drone didn't escort her to the road. It can't stay in the air that long.
@@stargazer7644 15 minutes to the road and a couple back? I feel like most drones should be able to do that.
@@outandabout259 It's good that you feel that way. She was a mile horizontally and 900 feet vertically from the nearest road hiking a ridgeline. She wasn't in any hurry. She certainly wasn't walking a 15 minute mile. That would be pretty fast walk for someone her height. Most drones can hover for about 20 minutes. Flying distance and climbing shortens the time.
@@stargazer7644Then just fly the drone back halfway through her trek, change the batteries, and fly back to her.
@@aphextwin5712She walked a mile through the desert. She wasn't hiking solo across the Rockies.
One of the best mats off road recovery videos, airplane recovery in impossible area, epic rollover with sphincter clinching action, Lizzie achieves G.O.A.T status, cinematic drone shots, this video had it all.
Lizzie is a beast! She is tougher than nails!! Best disclaimer ever! Matt: “Don’t try this in your minivan!” Only a DA would try that in a minivan.
Everyone with a Delica or Hiace took that as a challenge.
The sad part is there are a few DA’s who would give it a try.
District attorney?
Detective agency?
Dental Assistant?
Our friend was visiting from Ely and mentioned watching your channel. I told them your shop was just down the road and they can buy your merch there. When we got to the shop they told us you were out recovering a plane. Very cool to see the recovery.
Rudy is a quick thinker. This video really showed just how intune he is with what's happening and the tools he has on hand.
Lizzy is awesome! Walking off the mountain alone takes some serious gusto. Well done
My all time favorite adventure with all of you . My admiration of Lizzy only increased when she went off on foot . No one is just an extra , everyone is a co-star to me .
1. Im a Saint George local and I can't believe I've been watching this channel since it had about 40000 subs. Crazy growth!
2. That guy in the utv is SO lucky to be alive! He should be thanking God for large random rocks!
3. Lizzie is one hell of a young woman!
4. You guys make me proud to be a southern Utah local! Love the channel, Happy Holidays to all of you and keep it Rowdy!
That arm-out reaction was terrifying. Could have been a life flight situation in the blink of an eye. Epic recovery. Good job everyone.
Rudy was a very valuable component to this recovery! I watched him closely and he was always right on the spot doing what was needed. Proud of you Rudy!!
I’ve watched a lot of Matt and crew recoveries, but by far this one of the best I’ve seen. Was great to see Ed. Lizzy is a real trooper by walking out. Not so sure I would have. Kind of think I’d cancel appointment. Well done!
you could see a BEAR a mile away,,,, and it see you! lol
It was nice they followed her with the drone. My drone can fly about 3 miles, so they should have been able to follow her all the way to the truck
@@4wheelliving132 yep, it was nice and clear for a good view! their a tight group and have fun but safe as possible. cant predict it all! lol as seen today, and thank God for that rock!
With that group of people, and vehicles, I would think that someone would have offered to drive poor Lizzy down the mountain.
☹
@@straybullitt It looked like a beautiful area to take a short hike, on a nice day, I think Lizzy is pretty at home in the back country, I don''t think it was a hardship for her.
Wow. That was exhilarating. I'm glad no one was hurt. And when you said Lizzy had an appointment, I was expecting you to say she would be taking one of the vehicles back. But no, she just casually walks off the mountain back to civilization.
I can't believe he rolls on the only rock that saved him from rolling down the hill that was a god-sent hallelujah and amen!
Ahh yes, classic….this supposed omniscient god put the rock 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 there to stop the guys from sliding down the canyon, instead of just stopping them from flipping over in the first place.
I can't believe how bad that Polaris's center of gravity is and that he actually put his hand out... I literally thought he lost his arm.
@@norcodaev you must be fun at parties
@@norcodaev God gave us free will to do what we want. In this case God was gracious enough to stop the side by side and let that guy live another day.
God bless you!
@@PabzRoz Why do you say that, because I pointed out something obvious, that you don’t agree with?
You have a 1967 Cessna 150 with a Lycoming O-235-L2C , 110 hp engine. And you are right about how light they are, usually around 985lbs to 1100lbs.
It's possible this plane can be restored, but more likely, it will be parted out.
Since there was a prop strike, the engine will need to be rebuilt, and a rebuilt 0-235 is worth about $25,000 (unless it broke the crankshaft).
landing gear, instruments, etc all are valuable.
Sad to see the little bird get busted up, but extremely happy that the pilot walked away from it.
My heart dropped 30ft the moment I saw the arm out of the rolling RZR, so glad nobody got hurt. Wish you all best of luck for the future.
Same here - gotta fight that natural reaction. Need wrist tethers.
Lizzie walking out was an awesome segment. The rollover.....that rock.....amazing save. And a plane on a mountain rescued. Just unreal.
I yelled right when the Razor started flipping and forgot I was at home watching the video, wife was cooking and thought I was yelling at her to stop cooking the turkey LOL.. Good recovery and I was at the edge of my seat during the ascent of the narrow road. This video sure made me feel like I was there in person. This was an awesome recovery with the whole group involved👍🇺🇸..
@Fred Martine I'm right there with 'ya. I blurted "Don't Put Your Arm Out!" and my wife was like: "What?"
@@stevensoutdoors Yep lol..I saw that guy put out his arm too and hoped his arm didn't get crushed. Glad he put his arm back in the cab.
Someone needs a class on relative strength of the human arm vs an ATV...
@@starhawke380 it looked more like a reaction than an actual attempt to stop it from rolling. like when you fall over you throw your arms out to catch yourself without even thinking
That was some amazing scouting by Johnny. He found the way in. He found the plane. He found several lunch options. I am grateful that the pilot nor anyone else was hurt.
Holy Crap, Matt, what a job! A plane crash, a roll-over, mountain trails and lots of good friends. Epic recovery! Thx so much for your channel!
And lots of nice bucks
@@akelagold which he deserves unequivocally!!
5:22 that was Cloooooose! It's a good thing they had the right team nearby!
This is why I laugh everytime someone safely flips a vehicle in one of these videos
I was legitimately scared when that utv started going over. That rock that stopped a 1,000 foot roll must have been place there for this sole reason. Glad everyone is okay.
So if someone does roll off a mountain because there isn't a rock to stop them...does that mean...god wanted them dead? (since you seem to be implying god put this particular rock there to save this guy)
@@isaackvasager9957 No. I don't believe in God, but good job trying to pick a fight.
What I do believe in is that we are all on this crazy ride together. So whether some call it luck, fate, coincidence, or even a miracle... what does it matter? Smile and know the universe, however it happened, protected a man's life and saved a lot of grief and heartache that could have been caused by a rock not being in the right place at the right time.
Chill out and appreciate that an enormous amount coincidences had to happen starting millions of years ago to protect that man and his family & friends that day.
Call it whatever you want, but I can appreciate that. Can you?
@@jasoncrimmel well said my friend. right place right time for the rock is kind of an understatement but it was certainly there for a reason. guy must have some other things to still do in this life because that was almost certain death. if you wanna call it god then yes, if it’s pure chance then that’s alright too but i thing there’s gotta be a little bit of divine intervention in situations like that
Holly crap. That rock saved that situation. That brings it home, we are seeing a camera angle and I bet it’s 10x wors the drops
Being an aircraft mechanic for 41 years. And you guys aren’t. You did a very good job!! Thank you for making that I sure enjoyed it!!
Not a lot of exposure to airplanes. Is that plane repairable or totally toasted?
@@JasonMishler it looked like it was rebuildable . according to the N number records, it’s been decommissioned, so they probably parted it out.
Well, This was one helluva different recovery!! Surprise that Plane didn't have more damage After crashing. Matt's skills sure put to the test too.
Couldn’t have done it without Ed’s help. :)
Looks like the pilot made a great emergency landing and kept it upright. Still considerable damage to the prop, engine, gear, probably firewall, etc…
It’s a shame the wind flipped it, the bulk of the damage was from that. The only forced landing damage is the nose gear and the engine. Hats off to the team for getting it dismantled and out without more damage
It’s totaled.
@@MotoVloggedOUT 100% loss. When you consider a 150 sells for $25-35k in decent shape, the cost to rebuild would far exceed the value. EVERYTHING in aircraft repair--especially certified (I.e. production) models--costs more than you'd ever imagine.
Whoever called ‘hand in’ in the heat of the moment is a real trail hero.
Lizzy is truly a trooper to have walked out of there…… and she does it EVERY TIME I watch this episode. 🤣🤣🤣
WOW Matt! Somebody was watching/helping when that Razor went over, and landed on the rock instead of down the mountain.
It'd have rolled all the way to the bottom if that rock weren't there
God's hand of mercy was start to finish in both brothers situation. I'd be using my new lease on life to get right... Thank you Lord
Holy hell, I jumped and screamed a little when I saw that arm out. Pure luck there man.
Exactly recovery team, not sure if that was pot luck or someone of higher authority was watching out for them! The ride they took was bad enough looking the way it was! Just glad they caught the rock and didn't go anyfurther!
Jesus is the Rock of our Salvation. Jesus Loves You John 3:16,17 etc. Believe and be saved!
I love how every other video clip from scouting was "Oh look another nice Buck" 😂😂
Yes.
Duly marked on the GPS for hunting season.
Even with camouflage, some deer hunters are easy to spot.
That 3rd buck spotted looked to be VERY nice.
Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving .
Customer: "So, do I hire a pilot, a four-wheelin' crew, or a towing company?"
Matt: "Yes"
😂😂😂
When Rudy says, "I know my dad assembled the Wright team" he dropped that pun without even blinking! 😂
Wow I usually don't miss those.
Lizzie is an extremely brave girl.
Over the course of my Navy career I actually have done several (too many) aircraft and helicopter recoveries after mishaps in the mountains outside of Fallon (and on the base), in the Lake Tahoe area, the Southern California desert, Morocco, the Air Force Base on Guam and an air base in Kuwait. I benefited from using helicopters to lift the wreckage/engines/landing gear off the mountain, being able to tow the aircraft with it partially on a dolly, or being near a road for a crane to drive in so I could lift onto a dolly or truck. Well done! Thank you for sharing this.
thanks for your service. Fallon area and Tahoe Basin are absolutely beautiful.
Let's all step back and take a minute to appreciate what a fantastic off road driver Matt is. Moving that plane down the mountain on a trailer!? Well done on this from everyone. Really enjoyed watching.0
I was thinking the same thing. That was pro action, for sure.
And keeping the wild desert clean too
As an A&P You all did a great job taking the plane apart. As always your videos are great! Thanks!
Is that wreck worth anything, or did they just want to get it off the mountain?
@@gordonrichardson2972 Yes, that was not a write-off by any means.
@@tvideo1189 It looked pretty screwed up to me. How could they straighten out the crumpled up wings?
@@Rat-Builder new skin and replace damaged ribs as necessary
@@Rat-Builder I didn't say every single part was salvageable. Some might not be. But replaceable wings are available as are almost every part for that very popular airframe. The damage wasn't that significant from appearances.
Guy goes on a scouting mission to find an airplane and sees more bucks than he can shake a stick at.
Or.
Guy goes on a scouting mission for bucks and finds an airplane. Lol hard to stay focused either way
The deer know their on camera
bucks can smell your need to see them so all year long when you cant get after them you see them everywhere but the second you get the rifle they no longer exist they retreat into the shadow realm they live to spite us lmao
He needs to be appointed permanent scout!! Great job!!
Couldnt stop luaghing when he said "and theres another nice buck" 🤣🤣 when your not looking for them youll find them
@@alfonsoalonzo While building a patio, I watched at least eight deer gamboling in my pumpkin field, eating blossoms, within 50 yards of all the racket I made. The day the DNR delivered the nuisance permit was the last day I saw them. I didn't know they could read. And, at 50 yards or more.
I would say that recovery was pretty high on the excitement index. This whole crew never ceases to amaze.
3:34 Very clever, Rudy. "We've never done an airplane before but my dad assembled the 'Wright' team".
Gives the words "Aircraft Carrier" a whole new meaning.
🤣👍
Man! What an episode! Way to be on the ball with shouting "Hands in" as the RAZR was tipping. A crushed arm would have immediately changed that trip to a medical rescue. Nice seeing the teamwork and a very "different" recovery.
that first reaction of putting the arm out to stop the fall is sooo natural - I was thinking "hands in!" as Matt yelled it. Quite the crew!
Ah, aircraft recoveries. Even when it's just off the runway they tend to get interesting. When they pick remote locations a lot of ingenuity tends to come into play. I've been involved in almost a dozen over the years. You got really lucky with the RZR trail machine. At only 50 inches wide and approximately 8 feet long they tumble pretty good when you get them rolling. That rock was in a very fortunate location. Good times and fantastic that nobody got hurt in either the plane or RZR mishaps.
That was one of the best and most interesting recoveries to date. Sure glad the rock was there to stop that side by side as well. Awesome job to all you guys. 👍👍 from western Canada 🇨🇦
WOW. This was an amazing video in many ways. Hats off to Lizzy for walking off the mountain. She is a gorgeous young lady with so many talents and a great asset to Matt's team when doing work in the shop, an excellent welder and mechanic and has exceptional driving skills.I hope she starts a channel of her own when she leaves Matt. I would like to watch her when she gets on the ranch. I an sure she will excel in her ranching skills.
Great Crew: Great to see them all, especially Ed since we haven't seen him for a while. As always. Great Job!!!
And How Brave is Lissie trekking down the Mountain‼️ She's one fine Girl‼️😊✌️❤️🇵🇭
3:50 - Rudy expresses better than I ever could the simple, raw joy of tearing around off road in a spectacularly well-designed vehicle: “ Yeeee HAAA!”. I mean, he’s a professional on a paid job but still, it’s a magnificent day in Southern Utah and the Morrvair© flat out RIPS! Thanks for reminding us of why we all wind up stuck, sooner or later.
The run of the mill rides all blend in together after a while. I will remember hydro-locking my Jeep Cherokee in a creek 100 miles from home, forever. One time a bunch of us dirt bike riders came upon a Jeep hopelessly stuck in a mud hole 35 miles from the road. We gave him, his Wife, and his Daughter a ride home. I was the only one of us with buddy pegs, so the Wife went with me. I told her to hang on to me, and she did very lightly. The first time that I had to gas it to get through a snow drift, she grabbed on TIGHT. LOL
You guys pretty much recovered everything so far.. and Lizzy is a true warrior walking that far all by her self.. glad she is safe...and the guy that almost tumbled down that hill... God was watching him...
You guys are awesome. Lizzy has an appointment so she just walks down a freaking mountain to go to it. Ya'all do things daily that no one does in their lifetime. On top of it all, you rescue vehicles in extreme conditions.
I saw a guy crush his arm under a roll bar once doing the “I can save it” maneuver.
Good on the camera man reminding him to pull the arm in.
You guys never fail to prove you're one hell of a crew.
Side note, any video Ed is in he honestly makes it infinitely better, he's just got some amazing vibes. Not saying the rest of the crew doesn't, just saying there just something perfect about Ed.
Ed is out there, living his best life, willing to help any way he is able. Most guys his age have settled into the recliner with the heat up to 80. I know Matt and the crew are watching out for Ed, but it would not surprise me at all to see one where Ed is inside a rollover and just shrugs it off during the recap.
Good job everybody. Gotta say, Lizzy is quite the Bad A!
That was a great recovery. Poor jeep is never going to get finished. Keeps being needed.
When Lizzy walks off the mountain, was my favourite moment. What a trip that would have been🥰👍
Unfortunate place to land!
Couple years ago, we happened a across a glider pilot that went in hard in the East bound lanes of I-90 just barely into Montana from Idaho. Still no idea whether he went under or over the overpass at the top. He lived, but was a bit worse for the wear!
I learned to fly aerobatics in an RV-7a....that bird, and her owner, unfortunately went in at about 200mph in the Coast Range in Oregon just West of McMinnville when the weather decided to sock in to the deck without warning. Old P51 Mustang pilot, and a damn good man. I helped put rivets in the wings of that plane when I was younger. My Grandfather's best friend. They are both gone now. Rest in Peace Al, and Grandpa.
I watched this video when it was released, and just watched it again. I'm still impressed by everyone's problem-solving skills and teamwork. And still awed by Lizzie casually walking off he mountain like she was just going to the local convenience store for a Slurpee. If I had a daughter I'd want her to be like Lizzie. 👍
I too watched the video before and just watched it again.
I am also impressed with Lizzie. I always said, if Lizzie goes, I go. Then it happened and I stayed, BUT I do miss her. She was a hard worker, a very pleasant person, and had a excellent sense of humor. The channel is still good but it's not the same.
Vehicle recovery is something I usually get pretty bored with pretty quick. Somehow, you always have the most interesting recoveries and make them so interesting that I can hardly wait for a new video to arrive. This was an amazing and very interesting recovery. Great production, great crew and very well done. Thanks for bringing us along.
Even their simple recoveries are fun to watch.
i just love Colt, dude is a great soul.
I had an engine out landing in A forrest ,had to pull my wings and trailer it out. Great video, glad no one got hurt.
I’ve been hooked on this channel binge watching for about a week. These are good people. I’ve only heard one cuss word in probably 50 videos and Matt’s patience is unmatched! I’m for sure team Lizzy. Great content
I freaked out when he put his arm out when rolling over! Did he really think he was going to stop that haha glad everything was okay!
Instinct and common sense rarely go hand in hand with fear as an undertone! Just glad to see everyone able to shout out keeping injuries from occurring.
Yea, his weight distribution needs re thinking also !
That rock and staggeringly lucky direction of fall looked to be the only things between a video people can laugh about, and that poor guy not surviving to tell the tale 👀 Makes you remember just how dangerous Matt's crew's job is.
If you’d ever been in a real roll over you’d know it’s hard not to.
Yeah I've done the same thing a couple of times but fortunately I immediately realize that is bad I jank my arm back in .lol
10:03 matt finds a plane:
„I think it’s ready to derby“ xD
So cool the BleepinJeep guys were helping out, Matt and Colt are beasts!
All have way too much fun to call this work! I enjoy watching you all doing what you do but i don't have the intestinal fortitude for it. Lucky for alot of people you do! Thanks for taking us along.
That’s quite a recovery, well done. The Cessna’s going to end up on Aerotrader - “Lightly damaged in an off-field landing.”
I've got a parachute that could go with it. Got a real good deal on it. Only used once, never opened. Its got some staining on the fabric but its in good shape otherwise.
Annual inspection is due.
Ran when parked.
I appreciate your videos showing off great work ethic, kindness and positive vibes. It is also good to see youtubers that don't live solely off TH-cam views and merch, but have an honest business that they can share with people who enjoy seeing how the world really is, not just made up ones for views.
Lizzy is my favorite❤ There are too many girl these days that starts to cry when their fake nail snaps. Lizzy is not afraid to get her hands dirty.
I do believe Lizzy can do anything & everything!
There were two miracles on the mountain, no injuries to pilot and to gentlemen that rolled the RZR. What viewers may not know is very remote high desert location is 6+ hours North West from Matt's place in Southern, Utah. Lizzy is beyond impressive and brave! It's rattlesnake country, but even rattlesnakes wouldn't dare not mess with her. As someone that has hunted this area, it's far more steep and rugged than video shows. Very impressive team work and great recovery!
He almost crush his arm!!!
Wow, then rolled down hill.
New to this channel and blown away!! As if the great outdoors, remote & treacherous roads and outstanding vista views weren't enough, the recovery crew is made up of personable and knowledgeable folks!! The on-the-go (or on-the-fly in this case) engineering is fun to watch and the whole process very entertaining. I'm a fan!
I"ve done that! Well without the crash! Bought a TriPacer in PA - rented a U-haul truck and took some tools and drove down there. Removed the wings, pulled it up the ramps and loaded it. Hung the wings inside the truck, left the back roll up door open with the tail sticking out. Drove 200 miles back home, easy - but interstate driving is better than that mountain trail..
Seriously, Lizzy is something else. I hope my daughters grow up to be like that.
This was a wild ride for sure, in so many ways. And Lizzy walking out is pretty wild too. Gotta hand it to you all!!
You guys and gal are amazing!!!!!!! My question is does the pilot get a t-shirt saying “ We got them out”. Great job recovering that aircraft.
This recovery was actually one of the best I have seen in a while excluding the Golden Nugget recovery. I honestly got nervous when I saw that rollover because it looked like a long drop-off! Thar rock was in the right place at the right time.
It rare to have such a great guy as a friend that will drop everything without a thought or expectation of repayment, I have a couple like this that I've known nearly my entire sixty years of life. Nice to see there are still good people out there.
