Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
Keep bringing the dogs on recoveries. You are doing them a favor getting exercise the easy way. Dogs love to run free, and you're lucky enough to have smart dogs that stay "near" you while running free. Keep you the good work
As long as they don't bring Max, he wanders and doesn't stick close. Or only bring him to quick jobs
And my blue healer mutt mix loves running but if I'm riding the quad she rides on the back seat. If I kick her off to to run along side she will run a block or so then sit down and look all dejected and sad like I've abandoned her.
Our dogs collar slips off their head they walk away looking back at you like "Who are you" end up chasing them down the street. This is after having them for over 13 years. I think we could train them to be off leash if we lived somewhere wasn't cars racing up our street at 50 mph. One of the benefits living in smaller towns. Although my In-laws lost lot of dogs that would get up on the highway.
I've learned from this channel that there's a lot of people out there who don't know jack about dogs. Peanut is probably the world's happiest, healthiest dog.
@blastman8888 For dogs that have trouble retaining their collars, it's best to use a harness that goes around the upper torso.👍🏻
Good to see Ed back out on the rescues. Those dogs love the exercise they get and Matt takes damn good care of those dogs.
Matt, you have found absolute gold in Tom. He is so very awesome and wholesome. His knowledge is unreal and his willingness to do the dirty jobs and never complain is amazing.
Who is Tom? Oh, you must mean Tom Tom. 😂 yes he is ratings gold. His ideas sometimes amaze me and sometimes frightened me. 😂 He's awesome 👌
Pins ? Ever use them 😅
Much love for Tom Tom and I don't doubt he's appreciated
Matt slaps everything together, while Tom Tom always wants to engineer it. He's the perfect Yin to Matt's Yang.
He's like an engineer and a return missionary all wrapped into one. 👍
So good to see Ed out on recoveries again! It’s also nice to see he’s smoking candy canes instead of cigarettes now!
HaHaHaHaHa! I thought I was seeing things! That was a candy cane in place of a cigarette! Well it is NEVER too late to quit!
Hahaha!! Same here!! I had to rewind a couple times! I thought it was pretty damn funny!
It’s pretty effing annoying when Karen’s feel the need to comment “omg your Dog… it’s PANTING, you’re killing it!” 😂😤🙄. Have they nothing better to do?
Great to see Ed back out on recoveries! Missed seeing him with the big thumbs up. I think we can all admit who the real star of the show is.
So pleased to see Ed, tell him we miss him & to look after himself especially in this hot weather
It's so nice to see Ed out on a recovery again. Kind of reminds me of the good old days when it was just you and him. Rescuing hyundaes out of crazy canyons lol.
Now he has an entourage. New employees come and go on a regular basis.
For the battery charging: I'd either add a 7-pin hitch connector or a custom power feed from the vehicle's 12v system. The solar charging is a good idea but it's not going to push a lot of amps unless you get a fairly large panel. So if it gets low because it's doing a bunch of jobs you might run it down and not be able to charge it fast enough. Plus you guys thrash those trailers around and a fragile glass panel will probably end up being a casualty.
Agree. Running off the cars alternator would be the simplest in the long run.
A 7 pin connector will not carry much more than 10Amps.
But large wires (at leat 6ga) conncted to a 50A Anderson plug would supply enough amps top keep the battery full charge. Assuming the alternator can supply the amount of current.
It's not about running the winch from the 7-pin, it's about charging the battery back up during the long drives in-and-out during the recoveries.
I was going to say the same.
Trailer brakes often have their own 12v battery that gets charged through the 7 pin RV plug.
Agree, that's how I have my trailor winch set up with a quick disconnect cable from truck battery.
Matt if you converted the Morvair to a 7 pin RV Recepticle and then put a 7 pin RV Plug on the trailer running to a junction box, you could run a lead up to your battery and trickle charge the trailer battery. I have this set up on my boat trailer to ensure the boat battery is always charged when I get to the boat ramp. Works like a charm!
Tell Ed we are super proud of him! Pride has been the ruin of many and I am glad he is looking after his health. My mother recently passed, she had problems with her neck and it caused her to loose her ability to walk, feed herself, or toilet. It was a real rough time for both of us.
Great seeing Ed back at it!!Like old times! Thank you for the PSA explaining how dogs cool themselves. Any pet owner/lover would know that! But haters gonna hate-and they want to pick on you for some reason! Love how you take the bull by the horns and tell it like it is!
The More You Know logo was a nice touch tho
@@companyman7128 They even hit it with The "Morr" You Know! Thought that was brilliant. Lots of great things in this episode!
@@ChrisCEdwards07 Wow, good eye! I did not catch the "MORR" wording. Matt has a great editor!
Any pet owner/lover SHOULD know that! Many actually don't.
It amazes me that Matt has to educate people about how dogs pant to cool off and is not a sign of overheating. Not to mention the nerve of people to tell someone how to take care of their dog.
welcome to free speech and retards haha
Some are so misinformed that the police are called. I kid you not. At seventy years old and I can not bring my own dog into town.
No kidding. You come to watch a free video and Still find the need to insult him too some people
The same people would post videos of their dog barking and then translate that to English
Peanut is VERY well loved and taken care of. And a great pup!
Matt " I know where I am I just don't know why I am there." Is a knew saying for me lol. Good to see Ed again. Great show.
@patrick burgmeier My dad used to say "I never get lost. I just take the scenic route." lol
Hey Matt and Crew!
I recently discovered your channel and I'm hooked! As a mechanic with some 15 years of experience in car, truck and big rig towing and recovery myself, I can almost feel every emotion, pain and train of thought you have while going through a job.
I love what you're doing and your attitude! You became my new "feel good" channel!
Thank you all! You and your team take care and keep on hauling!
I like how you used the ammo cans for your straps. My dad a 1964 Chevy Carry All or what people call a Suburban he had installed two 50 caliber under the hood for tire chains and pull chains and that's when you had a ton of room in the engine compartment I did the same thing with my Chevy Blazer and one thirty caliber in under the dash for storage of sun glasses check book and other things.
Great recoveries. People should research before judging and or accusing of the neglect of animals. You are spot on with the reason for dogs panting. Again great video. Always looking forward to seeing your new adventures!
I don't even have dogs and I know that.
So happy to see Ed back!! Best wishes for full recovery! Peanut is one lucky pup! My border collie could run for miles, kept her happy :) Matt love the head on approach with your PSAs :) and you found a gem in TomTom!
Your patience with armchair experts/watchdogs is admirable. Keep up the good work and binging the good vibes!
Agreed. The nerve of ppl these days
Dog owners know you’re great to those animals. They love you and their rides/runs!!! Love seeing them in the videos! They look so happy and well loved.
the big industrial batteris you can get at oreillys for equipment work really well on those wenches. ive done 8 long hard pulls trying to load junk cars (some of which had no tires and i was reaching out about 130' to drag an f150 with no wheels across a yard) onto my gooseneck and it never slowed down. the charger was showing it still had 50% charge.
GREAT to see Ed running with you again! Welcome back Ed, we've missed you!
Great to see Ed back on recoveries, loved the PSA you did, gave me a good chuckle LOL--Anyone who knows pets, especially boarder collies would know you take great care of them and they are living their best life.
Hi Ed, glad to see your back on recoveries with the guys! Matt, you know, as a lot of us do, your dogs are in the working class breeds, and they love to run, which gives them the exercise they need because their not herding animals the way a lot of them would be doing on a farm! I know you love your dogs, and you always do what's best for them! Your dogs are lucky to have you! As an animal owner myself, I know you are doing the right thing for them. You can tell they love going on recoveries with you, running beside you, kinda like their herding you, I think it's cool what you do for them! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
That dog hit the family jackpot being with you and your family. What a beautiful backdrop in your video by the way.
So good to see Mr. Ed back out on the road . God bless you Mr. Ed ,Tom Tom and Matt great job on both recoverys
Nice to see Ed enjoying Christmas still, with his candy canes. 🙂 Obviously some of your listeners know as much about dogs as they do about the best way to build vehicles or do recoveries - zero.
They don't let him smoke on camera anymore.🙊🙈🙉
@@stubstoo6331 he can smoke on camera they just cover it up!😮
@@kennethbrown8723 if you have watched this channel since almost the beginning they have never covered it up. ED is a old man stop trying to be political correct I watch channels with ten to fifteen million subscribers they don't cover anything up especially their cussing.😂😂
@@stubstoo6331 I prefer listening to conversations without cussing. People who have to cuss to make their point are folks who are too lazy to learn how to express themselves using the 10s of thousands of words in the English language. Four letter words are easy and require no thought.
@@vg3430 that's your privilege no problem I don't need a sermon on your beliefs.
@MatsOffRoadRecovery If you are running a 7 pin trailer connector, there is one pin that is a straight power lead. You can run, fused of course, a wire to the trailer battery and as long as you have a common chassis ground on that battery, it should charge as the engine is running.
Yeah, I thought the 7 pin had vehicle power.
And as soon as you hit the switch on the winch, that fuse will blow.
@@stargazer7644 you'd need to get a current limiting charger. Just wiring it straight to the battery wouldn't be good.
@@volvo09 You'd need a 12V DC to DC converting charger. I think that's what you meant.
@@stargazer7644 exactly, just a 12v battery charger. Max charge rate of 5A - 10A or something (whatever the connector or wiring can handle.... ).
Although their solar panel idea may do a better job since it can slow charge while the trailer sits unused and actually top it off over time, Rather than only charging when a vehicle is running, since the winch does pull a LOT of power from a battery.
Both methods would benefit from a charge after heavy use, which is easier said than done at a businesses.
Never seen a pintel hitch break. Good job!
First for me as well, it looks like it fell apart.
Yeah I'm curious about the condition of that pintle before it broke. If it had any signs it was going to go.
I think the bolt just rattled out and it fell off. No way it broke with an empty trailer like that.
They are heavy duty but they really aren't meant to have the force pushing that hard up on the latch. They are designed for downward force. If he was getting air over sand dunes that hitch was probably seeing forces it was never designed for.
Sounds like they need to modify it like everything else they have to Best suit the conditions they put it through.
i didn't think it was a "real" pintle hitch, i thought it was one of those combination tow hitches that are pintle compatible
Have you guys ever considered running large cable (8ag+) and an Anderson Plug to the back of yoru vehicles to charge the trailers. It's very common here in Australia, I know a winch consumes more power than that will provide however the trailer battery will work like a large capacitor in the system to discharge and charge again when travelling.
Soooo glad to see Ed. I was worried about him all these months.
Love his “Thumbs up”weather report and his smile. I would like to see more Ed camera time, as much as he’s up to doing.
And keep Peanut in the cast. Most people don’t understand outside dogs that live in extreme climates. Good PSA.
Seeing Ed get to go out on a job just made my day, he looked so happy to be there. People who complain about the dogs panting too much must never let their dogs be active at all cause that’s what they do, and they love to run and pant. It can be super hot and my dog is panting like crazy but will NOT drink water. Panting has nothing to do with them being thirsty lol
Real good to see Ed out on a recovery.
Love the candy cane. Nice touch 😂
I agree
@@John-uo1qf please explain the candy cane for those who don’t know ?
@@nmd14723 for this channel to be recommended to kids there cant be smoking
@@tannerflowers1994 ah thanks, thought there may have been more of a backstory
Anyone that knows dogs knows you guys are great dog owners! I wonder about snakes and the dogs, but guess they avoid each other. Great to see Ed back on the trails!!!
I missed Ed. Glad to see him back. Does the weather better than anyone else.
I love how Ed is making good choices for himself with the neck brace! Good on ya Sir.
Put such a smile on my face seeing Ed back on the road.
Mornin' from the PA Appalachians 👍
I loved that quick knight rider segment. Was one of my favorite shows growing up along with The Dukes Of Hazzard and McGyver.
I'm glad you showed us you always leave a bowl of water out, just in case Tom gets thirsty!
Great idea with the strap. Always have to have a creative genius in the group when your in the middle of nowhere, or on mars in Matt Damon's case. (The Martian)
Good to see Ed back in the saddle again!
PS: You have the healthiest and best cared for dogs there are!
Don't listen to the uninformed pet care critics... lol
So glad to see Ed out and about! Ignore the naysayers about your dogs, theyre obviously well taken care of
Getting dogs access to water is the important part, and y'all got him covered. Peanut is living his best life!
'Her'.But you said it well.
Love seeing Ed back out and going on recovery’s
At 12:25, I hope someone told Ed his candy cane is smoking, must really be hot out there today! Keep an eye on those candy canes in the direct sunlight, their accidents...waiting to happen! Ya know, Ed just got healed up from one accident. Dang those candy canes, dang, dang, dang them!
The MORR you know service message -- needs to be an ongoing segment. Thanks MORR crew.
Your dogs are living the life that all dogs would love. It's amazing that they know to stay out of the way when vehicles are moving and seem to have an uncanny ability to know which way you're going while they are running in front.
great recoveries and when you get in a bind you have to do whatever works,on the hitch repair for time being....great job and great to see Ed back and taking care of himself and great reminder for your dog's 🐕 and 🤷 worker's health tip....thanks for taking us along on these recoveries keep making great videos ...
It's great to see Ed again on the recoveries! Hope the neck gets better soon.
OMG your dogs are living the dream life. I'm sitting here in my office with my two dogs, they are bored and would love to go run like that.
Good to see you Ed.....it's real good to see you back in your seat.
Matt - "We knew where we were, we just didn't know why we were there." I love Matt's sence of humor! Keeps me laughing again and again! Thank you Matt for all you do!!!🎉
Yup!
He always knows EXACTLY where he is... [Right HERE!] as well as where he's going [THAT WAY!!! (points forward)]...
Now, where he is irelative to where he SHOULD be is another matter entirely...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Matt, isn't it amazing how many experts never get off the couch.
Nice seeing Ed. Very inventive so interesting to see what’s next very cool. Every one knows you love dogs. And panting well that’s what dogs do to cool down. That was awesome recovery with Jamie n Ret Love seeing them work with you more.
Great to see Ed back on duty. He has been missed.
No matter what mood I am in when I am watching your new upload and I see Ed is hanging out with you guys and helping with a recovery it just makes my day I smile through the whole video
Best to have Anderson Plug/connector from your alternator to the rear of all your rigs and just connect your trailer when you're towing. At least the winch battery is charging
I like the way that Matt is able to engineer his way out of anything. Good to see the original back in rig. Glad your healed up Ed.
Wouldn't it be easier to wire the off road trailer with a 7 pin and charge it off the tow vehicle?
@@jeffland7217 Ideally you also need a charge controller so it doesn’t try to pull to much current if the trailer battery is dead, or when they use the winch. Usually the aux circuit on a 7 pin is only about 15-20 amps.
Welcome back ED...missed ya. Its sure good to see that your humor level stays hi even when its very hot and things break, Well done.
I'll tell you what I am a dog person and it's plain to see Matt is also. We both love our dogs like they are family because they are. I can say that because it's plain to see how much Matt loves his dogs, and would never ever do anything to harm them. Love everything you guys do seen every video a lot of them twice
Fantastic to see Ed out on a recovery again, he's such an interesting character.
Why not add a remote winch hook up to your trucks along with the battery and it can charge off the trucks alternator while driving
Afternoon all from the Uk.
Nice to see Ed back out again and taking care of his neck.
Great video
Hi Ed! Soooo awesome to see you back again, I missed you sir.
BTW, your Golden Nugget and the (Golden) Rokon are the most beautiful and most valuable vehicles on this planet because they were restored by the most wonderful loving people that love you.
Hugs from Belgium!
It is so good to see Ed again. Tell him to take care of his neck, little doses of riding so he heals up better.
I'm so glad to see Ed back out un the field. Sorry about the neck injury. I'll be praying for ya Ed...
Hey Ed! Great to hear your weather reports again! Take care and heal well Sir!
Keep up the amazing recovery’s and bringing us along.
🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
Good to see Ed. Some people would complain if you gave them a $100 dollar bill that was wrinkled. When I watch your dogs I see nothing but happy dogs doing what they like.
Glad to see Ed back on the trail with the team.
Just a thought maybe Ed should keep Mat full of gas for his recovery’s. Just a amazing show, thank you all for sharing
Happy to see Ed with you guys again, and yes panting is the way dogs cool down.
Glad you explained about Peanut panting. You take good care of your dogs, Matt. Nice recovery job!
Hey Matt, why can't you run 12 V back to the hitch, plug directly into that winch for when the battery is toast? You're the man!!
I have something similar to this set up on my Quigley 4 x 4 van, and you can buy the ASPHALT COATED LOOM to run the 12 V wire back so that it's protected! I enjoy your show so much and watching you problem solve, I'm right there with you in spirit!
Looks like you need a shop gofer to keep the rigs gasses up, battery charged, tire pressure maintained, rigging kept in stock and in working order, etc. Good to see Ed back.
Wow they finally got something to secure the ramps!
If you were to ask Peanut, she'd say she is having the time of her life !!! No doubt that the MORR team look after their dogs very well.
As with all the recovery guys out there, you get your share of difficulties, and you handle it well. Hats off to your creativity.
A little tip to make your life easier, Tom will understand this: Put a high current diode between the tail light wire and the battery to keep it charged while you are traveling. OR you could pull an independent wire from your trailer connector that has switched power from the ignition. No messing with solar panels that will get broken or beat up during rescues. All your vehicles should have the same connector anyway so it a win - win for any vehicle and any trailer with a winch. Be well my friends and keep us awestruck with your talent.
If you go to a 7 way plug your trailer battery will also be charged three the hot wire and when you use it a lot on a job just start the vehicle to keep it charged, Good Luck
Great to see Ed back on jobs! Y’all take great care of Peanut she looks super happy. I wish my dog liked to run beside the truck when we are wheeling. She gets freaked out that she’s gonna be left behind😢.
Good to see ed out on a recovery, must b feeling better. Missed u ed !!!!!
How come you don't wire the trailer battery into the running lights on the trailer so that its charging whenever its plugged into a vehicle?
That was my first thought as well. Is it too practical for Matt? 🙂
Not a good idea!
I tried it once and blew my fuses, put in heavier fuses, and melted my wiring.
Use a dedicated wire.
Don't do that, the wires for the lights aren't made to charge a battery and you'll blow the fuse constantly.
You need a bigger wire cross section or your car has a good chance to go up in flames if you are stupid enough to replace the blown original fuse with a bigger one.
Because as soon as you hit the winch remote you'll blow the fuses.
Had a thought in regards to the trailer charging situation. Though a solar charger would work, something I’ve used is the same on my wrecker, is the rear jump lead points. A large two-prong receptacle that could terminate either directly on the winch and be connected / disconnected with the trailer, or to a separate battery on the trailer.
Our service truck has something similar as we have a winch on a hitch mount that we can swap from front to rear, and still have power. Hope this helps
So glade to see Ed back, we all love him and have missed him❤
Great to see Ed on another recovery!!! Tom Tom really brings a lot to the show! Hope all of you have a great Fathers day weekend and get a chance to relax!
True Dog/Animal Lovers know your Dogs are well taken Care of..
Good to See Ed out and About..
Matt definitely needs Adult Supervision..
Matt!
Dogs panting is what engendered the idea for HFOV & HFJV - high frequency occilation ventilation and Jet Ventilation
Used predominately in NICUs. HFOV with rates of 8 or 10 Hz (480 or 600 'breaths' per minute)
The Bunell Jet ventilators are out of SLC offering o range of bpm, usually between 320 and 420 BPM.
Has saved many micro premies.
Pretty much constant inspiratory and expiratory air flow at a set FiO2 (% oxygen)
Now You Know!
I love the connection between the vehicle and the trailer! I love watching the videos, too. I watch for the dogs running in the desert. They are so happy. I have had similar trouble with nosey people. My dogs like to dig a hole, lay in it, and let the snow cover them. We have a 4' x 8' dog house with heated water and all the food they can eat. They are self-feeders. Someone called animal control. They came out to make sure the animals were being cared for. The officer said it was one of the better layouts she had ever seen. We were given a clean bill. I just wish people would mind their own business.
So good to see Ed back out with the crew. God bless.
So happy to see Ed back out on a recovery!
That was an awesome idea to keep the trailer on the hitch! I most likely would have been scratching my head and calling for help. Great recoveries
Real Good to see Ed Back !!!
Would winch cable QD's not be better than a solar charger, that way you can charge it as you are headed there. Plus you can put the same ends on the big trailer.
Hello Matt and crew,
In Australia we are taught to cross our trailer safety chains so if the trailer does get disconnected, the chains should “catch” the draw bar to stop it from digging into the ground or road.
Neither Matt or your customer have your chains crossed.
PS, Your chains are so long they probably need a couple of twists or maybe a shackle between them.
Loving your show.
Richard
Fantastic to see ED out with the boys on a recovery!!
It’s great to see Ed back on a recovery!
Makes my day seeing a new video pop up! Thanks Matt.
I was extremely happy to see your scanner in operation. The scanner was what probably saved the trailer from becoming separated from the Morrvair. Yes the hitch came loose but the Morrvair held onto the trailer with scanner power.
The recovery went okay.
I had bought a used 20’ landscaping trailer dual axle and the front of the welds on the hitch dropped . So , I still had to finish mowing and then take it to a trailer repair shop.
I used 2 straps , the kind like yall used and some chains and regular rope that I wound three times .
It worked and I was only inches from the street .
So , yeah , it worked.
it's very nice to see Ed back out on rescues, keep up the good work.
Great to see Ed back out. You guys have a good day and get some rest.
Oh my gosh so good to see Ed back on duty in the shotgun seat 🙂
Awesome to see Ed again. Know the feeling, my dog is with me every where so my truck is just another "home". Even had one person almost break a window (truck idling with proper ventilation, walked into convenience store for fuel receipt, 5 minutes max because I was in a hurry) thinking they were "saving a dog", I arrived just before they broke it, they said they called the cops and I needed to stay (citizen's arrest). I got in my truck told them what to kiss. My dog gets treated, sad to say, better than some people because he's my buddy!
lol - "we knew where we were, we just din't know why we were there..." AND I like the new steering wheel plus the fact that it seems dead nuts level when the rig is going straight. One of my veehickle ocd's. That, plus having a * full tank * before I start a job. heehaw!
Love the borked pintle fix. In hindsight I might've wrapped the entire donut to prevent the strap from being squeezed forward off it through turning a lot. All in all, another great recovery and in the face of disaster. Hahaha. Well done, gentlemen. Nice to see Ed.
Good to see Ed back out on recoveries, candy cane and all!
