Did you see the crazy winter storm watch recovery? th-cam.com/video/-0xwq9YKGJo/w-d-xo.html
Matt you’re right, European cars don’t have decent tow point- it’s because we’re basically not allowed anywhere that isn’t paved!
@@petec3658 Not only European Cars, But look what is happening now to American cars. One after the other.

As someone who occasionally yanks people out of snowy ditches, your technique in angles and leverage have taught me so much. Doubt I'll ever winch someone out but if I ever have to, I know I'll use what I've seen in these videos to ensure the safety of those around me!
I live on a dirt road and have towed 3 vehicles out of the ditch (got a 1976 International 364)
All three times involved the same teenager (he used to go drifting on his way home from his late-night pizza job)
Ever since he became an adult, I've been able to sleep at night.
Watching his videos helped me out yesterday. I live in dfw, Texas, and it iced over. Well, a penske box truck had slid off the road into a ditch and me and 2 other jeeps were able to pull him out!
@@jimbeau2692 you should’ve told him the first one was free but you’d have to charge him for the next one. I bet he would’ve been more careful.
@@jde824 that’s not very neighborly
@@jimbeau2692 🚜
Drove it out in 4 low. Tom Tom cracks me up, great addition to the team. Good to see Ed and the dogs out on recoveries again. I love Friday nights with MORR.
I can't believe that people are rude to you, Matt. You are sharing your recoveries & the wrecker build with us & family & friends. Don't let them get to you. We appreciate you all and thank you for taking us al9ng to 'get 'em out'!
You’re just a good guy, Matt. And the people you’ve surrounded yourself with are good people, too. The world needs more people like you - good people who care about others. Thanks for being a positive role model.
Agree, he's a good role model, a good, simple, nice guy doing it's job and fabricating his own vehicles
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ amen brother!!
Believe it or not, the world has it already. The Media doesn't make money off of good people. That's why they spin everything and only show the worst in people.
HEY! Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👍
Mornin
Watching Matt 'think it out' is why 15 minutes of planning makes the job last only 5 minutes! So many people plan for 5 and work their butts off for 30! Always entertaining, and often educational.
_cough_ HeavyD Sparks _cough_
Nice work Matt, I cannot understand how people drive their cars like this mini cooper on a muddy dirt road. This is beyond my imagination, but hey - you got a job and we got entertainment. Thanks Matt and Crew.
I think the road starts off good, maybe they have gone hiking up that same road months before and it was dry and they think "oh, its not bad, Ive done this before" and bam, they are stuck... and some people just have poor judgement.
Charge them double
Yeah no this lady is stupid. That smile said it all. I own a mini of that same model just not a coupe but the hatchback and they do not handle snow or dirt or anything like that well at all. I’ve seen ones that are built for off-road before and they are good but like this is idiotic.
Mini coopers were originally designed for rally racing, so they were built not only to drive on roads like that, but to race on them.
@@jakezanders6598 yeah but they are not good off-road anymore and especially not that model.
This video is the reason why I subscribed to your channel several years ago; scenery, dogs, music, recoveries and good vibrations. Keep it up!
Years ago...Me too! We some og's to the channel.
Matt you need to hit a scrap yard and go around to the cars with the threaded recovery hooks and snag a handful of them for when they don't have em/you can't find them! Just a thought. They're small enough to fit away! Love this channel.
Indeed, for the number of times you encounter cars that don't have them, a couple in your spares kit would stop a lot of messy grovelling looking for an alternative spot to anchor....
Good idea - but don’t think for a second that he would be the only person looking for them…
Wonder if the tow hooks are all the same thread pitch and size?
Could be a new MOOR tool and merch for the store.
@@arte9855 ya mean have something interchange maybe in-between makes
@@arte9855, They are not. I'd to help move a small (European) van without one and neither of the two we did have available would fit it. Nor would those two fit in the opposing vehicle.
Wednesdays video contained NO weather report!!..my construction crews have been sitting in the shop since then not knowing if they could go to work or not!...thank heavens todays vid acknowledged there was at least weather and we all got to work!..Thanks Matt!
I love seeing those beautiful free spirited dogs getting to run with the wind. They are super smart, stopping just where needed. The love of my life, my little 15 lb white Maltese is a smart boy but if I opened the door and said go for it, he’d run to Texas from our island home of Kauai before he ever turned back to realize where the heck he was. He’d be gawn. 😂
Love Ed’s weather reports. Definitely needed for these tough jobs😜
Why the heck would a Mini be in that type of conditions? Lol. Awesome truck recovery though, that was Matt's genius kicking in.
That was a gorgeous pull! Went so smoothly. Well done Matt!
Gotta love it when a plan comes together
Never fails to amaze what kind of person looks at a road and then their car and thinks, "yeah, I got this."
I love watching the dogs run out front. Our dogs do the same and boy so they get mad if they dont get to lead us to where we are going!! That pickup was by far one of the luckiest saves I’ve seen in a while!!
Beautifully done on the pickup!
Totally baffled anyone would take a Mini out there, though. That's just nuts.
Humans are a special breed for sure 🙂.
@JH Tennis I don't, what do they say?
Actually rather impressed with how far it got.
*laughs in Hyundai accent* I'm a Matt video waiting too happen! That accent has gone places it has no business being 😂🤣
Usually it's because the road is just fine, right up until it isn't.
Good to see Ed out on a recovery. That truck just about went to meet its maker. That young man was blessed. Great video. Yall stay safe.
Totally random things I've learned from MORR
There is a triangle of death when wenching & snatching - always gas up - remember mud fenders - keep a big plastic bag - give the weather and always say, "thanks for watching!" 💛
And the keys.
*winching -- wenching is a whole different thing, and would probably get Matt demonetized LOL!
Two things (of many) I love about Matt: 1) Never brings water to rinse his hands. Why should he? If its muddy, there should be a puddle. 2) Never brings clean cloths to change. Why I don't know, but I admire it!
I love seeing those dogs run. Do they know to run until they see a stuck vehicle and then hang out and wait for you??
The stuck vehicle scouts lol
Great comment
With Peanut's energy, i'd maybe train her to dig on command. It could be useful in sand, but obviously, you wouldn't want her doing it everywhere, she could hurt her paws.
Those dogs seem pretty savvy. I expect (at the very least) they would wait in the area of a stuck vehicle to see if the Morrvair/Banana are stopping.
Yeah, they should have collars that say MORR is near, help is on the way.
Congrats on the overwhelming support for the Wrecker Event !! Wish I could be there as a fan.
Love ❤ to see Ed....
Glad too see him in good health.
I am amazed at how easy you made the truck recovery look, Matt. Spending a few minutes to formulate a plan really paid off! Well done!
Matt, your videos are like CostCo, you always leave with a lot more than you thought you needed. Absolutely crushed another one. Thank you for the entertainment!
Seems a logical place to take a mini cooper
Yea, woman driver, says it all
@@fastway007 Remember Jamie and Lizzie? Definitely women.
@@fastway007 and the person with the truck hanging off the edge of a cliff was a dude... what's your point?
So many minis rallycross and do well. That said some non racer owners are complete idiots and they did not have the right tires
But somehow cars gets to places where trucks can't.
Reason it was easier than everyone thought was because of Matt’s perfect planning
Sooooo happy to see Ed back in the saddle!!!! Just absolutely love that guy!!!
I'm always fascinated how easy you make recovering look.
I'm just fascinated by how people manage to get their vehicles into situations like this.
Good to see Edd again on a recovery 😊
Learning SO much from your various rescues, thank you! One thing that would be helpful is if you would give us a few details about what products, sizes, strengths, etc., you're using on your recoveries. Why you use a soft shackle in this case, etc. - that way we know what to have on board and what to use ourselves. Thanks again!
People who get stuck just to be on Matt's TH-cam. That's the only reason anyone could justify being there in that vehicle.
Matt, you are right. In Europe the cars do not get stucked, because our roads are all paved. The kind of roads your customers are stucked are mostly closed to the public here in Europe. And the roads wich are open normaly are only used by drivers who can handle them. At least in western Europe.
Greetings from 🇩🇪
i would like to add a little more information : we have so many paved road in western EU, everywhere, that we NEVER need to take any unpaved road, even if several of those exists.
To clarify this, “closed to the public” almost always means closed for motor vehicles (with exceptions for agricultural and forestry vehicles). And they are closed for motor vehicles in order to protect nature and wildlife, reduce noise pollution for nearby residents but also to enable safe and undisturbed use for leisure like hiking or biking.
And I’d like to say, even half of those agricultural access roads (that only agricultural motor vehicles are allowed on) are paved, but that will naturally vary a lot in different parts of Europe.
And even the gravel roads usually don't turn into mud that would get you stuck.
The only time i have seen mud roads like in Matts videos here in western EU was on one of the biggest military training grounds where the roads are not gravel but just dirt and torn up by tanks and aren't open to public use either.
09:18- Yes! An answer to oil starvation questions...
Thank you for both the answer and (hopefully not needed) tech tips on retrievable situations...
Matt and TomTom...👊
That look Matt had on his face at 4:30 was classic.
Fellow BMW owners like this Mini here, keep that eye hook in the vehicle and know where to find it! Ze Gehmans took great pains to make your vehicle as slick underneath as possible for speed, stability, and NVH reduction. That means that good people like Matt have a harder time pulling you out of the bush. It's a lot better to pull directly on the steel inner bumper than it is to pull on a lower control arm.
Oh, and buy a real spare tire. Carry it, a scissors jack, and a breaker bar with a 17mm deep socket anytime you go somewhere like this. Yes, it will take up cargo capacity. Yes, you need to take it with you anyway. Don't forget your wheel lock key.
you know matt i really like to see the happiness of your dogs running free😁
God love Ed .he is awesome..and anyone can see the doggies. are spoiled with love..have a great recovery guys..all the love from maine ..
That kid in the chev must have a guardian angel looking after him 😂
So glad you’re teaching people how to properly pull someone out of a ditch. I’ve seen so many videos on here, even from off-roading+ towing channels where they would try to pull it just from the road without a tree saver or snatch block. I’ve seen it many times where they end up causing additional damage because they drag the vehicle further into the ditch before it actually comes out.
P.S I would advise everyone to always use synthetic rope, straps, or kinetic rope. I’ve personally had a steel cable break and it flew by me within inches of my head. I could feel the air as it went by it was that close. If that hit me, I probably wouldn’t be typing this to you today! I’ve since switched to synthetic rope/kinetic rope and will never go back!
It would be interesting to see how you clean up the vehicles after a recovery in the mud :)
Good job!
Ed needs to be a national weatherman. "Yeah Ed's here today..."is the best. As always, great vid!
Ed need his own channel where he just tells the weather every day. And maybe other important events of the day.
That truck and the passengers were extremely lucky it stopped there. Great job once again.
Ed! So nice to see you again, it’s been a minute! Ed is surely a national treasure? 😌
Dude vanishes at 5:20! He walked into Matt's new security perimeter and was instantly teleported to another galaxy, far, far away. Anyway, very impressive pull! AND the Mini Cooper thingy is called a "tow hook" almost everywhere and is available as an aftermarket dress up/acccessory item. You should put a couple in the tool box.
Good idea, only problem with that is, from what I've found at least, there are 3 different thread sizes.
That guy was lucky he wasn't wearing a red shirt!
@@richfarley8122More than that.. different thread types (Acme thread) and some are left hand thread.
But I expect the Towing Suppliers sell a 'master kit'.
@@richfarley8122 Plus - junk cars like Ford use a left-hand thread for some unknown reason.
@@rdownmakeITbetter so you strip it our, then they can sell the customer a new sub frame.
I've learned a lot about winter driving and getting my car unstuck from snow by watching this channel.
I want to see more Russell!!
Nice to see Ed on the road again 👍🏼 I was just thinking, (we) Europeans did not manage to standardize the size of those recovery bolts? The bosses of EU most have been sleeping on the job!
No! They all joined the WEF whose job, they have decided, is to make life difficult for us.
There are generally only two sizes, BMW, VW and Volvo ones fit the Mini.
Was wondering too, does someone sell a set of the common sizes if they aren't standard.
The law just says manufacturers must have a towing point, not what size it should be. To be fair, different vehicles might need different attachments and also many vehicles have come with fixed, welded loops (e.g. vans and trucks).
There are main sizes: M20 2.5mm RH, M16 3mm LH, M12 something and M24 something
BMW/Mini is the M16x3 LH. If Matt wanted to carry an eye, carrying an M16 and M20 would cover most bases I suspect.
@@marvindebot3264 no, there certainly isn't. Even a given model can have different tow hooks depending on options and the length can vary from two inches to nearly a foot.
Threadwise, I've seen M12x1.5, M12x1.75, M14x1.25, M14x1.5, M14x1.75, M16x1.5, M16x2 and M20x2.5. And I'm pretty sure I haven't seen them all.
I love that Tom Tom is in more videos. All of your personalities are great, but Tom Tom seems to bring a pleasant atmosphere with him wherever he goes. Great addition!
He isn't Trevor
@@415s30 you said it! Not a whole lotta fun in these anymore.
@@415s30 Yeah, his name is Tom. Did you not catch that?
@@xxriderxx7 I guess you are not very bright.
@@ls66 Fell free to jog on rather than leave crappy comments! 🤘
I met some people on the trail that had no experience except for watching this show. Lol
They couldn’t figure out how the winch rope fed into the snatch block. So I swiveled the snatch block and showed them a tree saver and some angles that would help instead of just head on with the winch.
You’ve gotten so many new people into this world of off roading. I love it and hate it at the same time 😂
Reminded me of the first ever Matt video I watched of the truck stuck on a 36 degree angle! Over 2 years crazy great video everyone much love from a off-roader in alberta
That truck came out so nice! "Yeah, Ed's here!". Ed is looking great! I love seeing Ed...and his comment about the tree not moving made me laugh!
Another great video all around!
Good to see Ed out with you. Nice recoveries. ❤️🙏🙏👍👍❤️
One thing I've notice when you're pulling someone backwards in the mud, steering is the opposite of normal. She keeps turning drive as if she is on pavement. Being towed the rear end doesn't swing, it just goes where it's towed. The front wheels point to the right going backwards so the car goes right. She should be turning passenger so the car drifts to the drive side.
Great job! Enjoyed it so much! Thank you all!
This truck recovery reminds me of the video that got me started watching you. A chevy truck that had sat all winter. Multiple people tried to get it out with no luck. Your crew and Paul with his yota got it out!!
I was thinking the same thing. It's like deja vu all over again 😆
0:09 lol
Matt, PLEASE put at least one "Tow hook" that fits newer cars in your recovery rigs! You'll never be without one again! Love your channel!
My god that recovery was impressive. for something in that much trouble, the ease of which you pulled that was incredible.
And you even straightened the frame a little !
Good to see Ed and the doggos again. Nice!
Great recovery, it did look a lot worse than it turned out. And the Mini was a piece of cake. Thanks for all your great content. Waiting patiently for the wrecker games, wish I could be there.
Hello Matt's Off Road Recovery,
Great job, always you know how to get the unstruck!
Take care, be safe, and peace out!
I've passed through hurricane, (spelling, I know) a lot. When coming down from Colorado city, the road over looks a small neighborhood, and one house painted " Hi" on the roof. Always cracked me up.
You should carry the eye bolts there’s only 3 different thread sizes
Yeah, any idea what the 3 are, I've run into mismatched ones but didn't know how many different ones there are?
I believe there are fewer places to get stuck in Europe. There are much fewer unimproved roads. When we lived in Germany we brought a neighbor girl with us on vacation back to the US. She had never seen even a gravel road. When we turned onto the gravel road leading to Grandma's house she asked if we were sure we knew where we were going.
never been in Eastern Europe then
Many villas/mansions have gravel roads from the gate to the main entrance… And many restaurants parking lots.
@@padmeamidala4883 but those are, as you said, gravel roads and not mud :)
@@David26_28 My answer is for the guy who said that in Europe people don’t know what gravel is and there aren’t gravel roads. I never spoke about mud.
My favorite is the “not a recovery point”. How about the “it could’ve been a recovery point” if the bolt was there! Love those muddy dogs!
Well,
In Oregon we called that a little Bush. A tree is about 100 - 180 feet tall . Lol
Good job kids.
God bless you all.
You answered a question I've had for a long time - about the engines starving for oil on those severe angles. Pretty amazing - thanks!
Glad to see Ed and the dogs are with you we enjoy seeing them on the channel God bless and stay safe
Seeing you guys struggle to find recovery points makes me appreciate how many my Forester has. It has a spot for the tow hook on the front and the back (and my tow hook is kept in the car), a pair of burly shipping tie-downs on the front, and a hitch on the back (which I keep a recovery shackle in in case I need to yank someone out of a ditch).
You yank a lot of people out of ditches with your Forester, do you?
I run two foresters is pretty snowy country. I pulled a pick-up back on the road the other day. Best thing about the forester is how much oil they burn. And much of a genuine POS they are.
@@georgeorwell126It snows a lot where I live, and if I see someone stuck in a ditch I’ll stop and help them out So far I’ve only had to pull out a Toyota Camry, which was a piece of cake.
Pro tip from someone who grew up in snow country: QUIT washing your hands in mud puddles when there is snow on the ground! Especially when the temps are around or above freezing. Grab a handful of CLEAN snow and wash away! It's clean water in solid form that melts. ALSO, it works great to clean a muddy windshield! Grab a couple handfuls of snow, smear on the warm windshield, and run the wipers; that actually works better than washer fluid!
That went a lot smoother than I thought it was gonna 👍🏻 great job
Honestly, love watching your recovery videos. Very entertaining and educational. Sometimes I just don't understand how the hell people get themselves into these situations.
I have a full set of recovery equipment every time I go out... So hopefully I get myself out.
Russell the kayak rustler. “That’s a major award.” “You won’t that? Damn hell you say…..”
Next time you're in the junkyard, grab some extra screw-in tow hooks for each of your main vehicles.
Great recoveries. You know it’s slick when you can tow by the rim.
I would get some snow plow rubber foils to make new mud fenders for the morvair. They wouldn’t take away from the look like rusty metal.
We call that missing bit on the mini a towing eye.
99% of roads in the uk are paved, there are a few in some of the national parks that are gravel but they are few and far between.
Great video! Indeed I confirm that car doesn't get stuck in mud that often as we do not have that much mud road in Europe...
Awesome first rescue. One of your best! Cheers!
I have a funny feeling that the kid and the kids friend will be discussing some sort of payment plan with the truck owner in very short order.
Hey Ed always nice to see you, so glad your doing well.
Nice recovery, and you are right Matt modern vehicals (mostly trucks) have baffles in the oil pan to keep the pickup covered at steep angles. You almost have to roll one on its side to starve it. Now if that would have been a early 70s F100 with a FE motor I might have been a little concerned about oils starveation. I had one with a built 390, and put a Milidon pan on it to add oil and a baffle.
Well done Matt and crew. You seemed a wee bit grumpy today. Not your usual cheery self. Maybe just a bit tired. 🙋♂️🇬🇧👏👏
16:08 nope. No where to get stuck. No where to go off road unless you own the land. (UK)
Pretty much, I also cannot ever see someone with a Mini cabrio ever wanting to drive down a muddy track, they tend to think wet Tesco car parks are roughing it.
@@ForeverNeverwhere1 plenty easy enough to get stuck in wet grass parking in the UK, we have lots of it especially at events.
@@matthewrichardson666 true, but there’s usually a guy with a tractor pulling folk out
Good to see you going along, Ed!
Great recovery guys. God bless
That's right. We don't get stuck in Europe because we don't have dirt track roads as highways, although the rare occasions we get snow is another matter. It was most disconcerting when driving an RV in the USA when a paved road turned into a dirt road.
I just love Tom Tom’s truck, very cool! With a winch installed on the front and on the rear, (sides too possibly), lockers and appropriate tires, it could be a very meaningful recovery vehicle.
I feel like the wrecker games is going to be bigger than you thought. I’m trying to get there, I live in Wisconsin
Another job well done, Matt and the team 👍
I realize your vids are not in chronological order but it makes my day every time i see Ed on here. Thanks for that and fixin up his apartment. I'm dyin soon but if Ed can make it, I'm gonna try and make it. One day at at time. Uh, watchin ya'll is a morral builder also. Seen too much death and destruction but with simply my medical history i can't even work for free. Doesn't matter my physical condition, my skill sets or experience. Judged by paper. Not whining and never will. Just the way world works.
Good on yall for brightening my night. Perhaps wife will send copy of my obituary. She was really down today and I told 4yr old granddaughter "Hey, you're driving Yummy to early grave with constant screaming and cryin". LittleJ: "But I don't know how to drive". Point:LittleJ.
Good to see Ed out on a recovery with you. 😀
Very nice recovery there guys. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
I think they call that a "Tow Eye". Good job, Matt and Team.
You should go to a good fastener warehouse and get an assortment of different sized hardened eye bolts in both SAE and metric. Buy an inexpensive tool box to keep them in. Just a thought.
The longest distance between points........a shortcut. 😁 Great to see Ed!
Ed, my man. Everything is right in the world when Ed is around 😊
Hey Ed, good to see you on a recovery again.
Hi Ed and y’all. We finally got snow here in SoCal. Your view while driving is amazing.
