My buddy's truck got stuck, and because of these videos I knew just what to do. Air down, traction control off so our lockers would engage, ended up having to tow him 2 miles down the mountain *I have 4wd and he dosnt*, used the uca to pull him since he had NO FRONT RECOVERY POINTS.

      Matt’s talk about thinking warm makes you warm is somewhat true but also a stretch in facts. If you keep busy and concentrate on other things then yes you don’t focus on the cold the physical activity keeps your core warmed enough that more blood can go to the extremities and you can feel and be warm in cold temperatures. If your not able to stay active you can think being as hot as you want but the body temp will start to lower, it will try to protect the body core by reducing blood flow to extremities, but as the core temp continues to drop Hypothermia sets in and you are done for if you cannot get warmed up.

If i could be so humble and say from cold Norway that if you're going to be working in these temperatures you need to put on cloths that are suited for these climates. Wool inside and protective layers outside. And a good hat or mutt that can hold your body temperature. Up to 70% of the body's heat goes through the head area. And extra wool socks and underwear if you get wet. And also have food and water for at least 24 hours per person. It's a lesson hard learned from the cold north.

    I’ve watch this video more than once. It is action packed. So much going on. I’ve been in situations similar to this during my life. It always amazes me how your mind goes into a recovery mode and in many ways the elements around you sort of fade away. My mind gets so focused on developing a solution that everything else is secondary. This was a great team effort. I’m glad everyone got out safely. This is a good example of how quickly things can deteriorate. And an even better example of how important it is to stay focused and not panic. I want to know who remembered that the track had been left behind. I’m sure that was a fun filled “oh shoot” moment.

    As a person who has experience with throwing track I know the pain they feel with this mishap. The worst one ive seen but was no part of was when we were getting our brads and support vics ready for a convoy in Korea. We had this trail from the motor pool that when up and over a large hill. At the half way point the trail turns 120 degrees upwards. A very nasty trail to throw track on. well the M88 of the company mechanics threw the track off. Thats a big ass vehicle to be throwing track and it was muddy and cold and it was on an incline... It was terrible. Took them a few hours to get it all back together. Then they had to drive to the destination and then If memory serves me they pulled pac on one brad that blew the engine in route and replaced it. Tough dudes an very hard working.

It works, but only when you stay busy and keep moving.

    Breakdown when it is 5 above Zero, that is one difficult situation to be in. And Matt, where is your coat and no hot coffee. All will be happy when this night is over and one recovery that will long be remembered.

    Incredible video, the perseverance to battle through a situation like that, come up with a solution and execute it all in the middle of the night and cold is what separates MORR from many others.

    I watch all MOR videos and I have learned many things:
    Matt is lazier than he should be. And he knows it.
    Matt doesn't believe in proper prior preparation.
    Matt has the bravery to post the unflattering videos that most people would never have the guts to.
    Combined = the best UA-cam channel of all.
    Keep kludging Matt, I got more popcorn.

    That was epic! The rescuer had to "make the call" and became the rescued! Don't forget to give yourself a "Matt's Off Road Recovery" T-Shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      They aren't high-visibility, so he would have to cover it up with something that is.
