Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
Dang. All of your sleep schedules must have be completely jacked-up, for years.
"Hey, we got a call. Who's awake? Grab a Red Bull and let's go."
There are some jobs where sleep is interrupted almost daily. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to keep the customer happy and keep the money coming in to pay the bills.
Sometimes sleep messes with the tow schedule lol
Coffreek
💰 ⏰ ☕ = 🎆 😀 🎆
Well i assume he doesn't do ALL the recoveries and not everyone gets stuck at 4am hahaha
Screw Redbull, they need some Honey Boo Boo specialized Go-Go Juice
Thanks for letting me tag along. That was a fun night.
I like the new stickers on the snowcat. Very snazzy!
It’s pretty great that every recovery vehicle they run doesn’t need ramps to get on and off the trailer. Efficiency at its best
Trevor has some serious jazzhand skills...lol.
Also, that Lexus driver has been lying about "2 feet" for awhile it seems...
The longer you're stuck, the deeper the snow becomes.
When you are stuck, it looks deeper!... but a set of chains and he would have been able to drive out of there. Maybe a shovel.
Idk if it would’ve helped getting unstuck, but when recovering it definitely looked like the center diff needed to be locked, which turns off the traction control which appeared to be cutting power.
would love to see a full fleet walk around vid! show off ALL the toys
“We should’ve locked them before we started” seems like I hear that much more often than I should and not just on this channel
That's why vacuum locking hubs and different actuator engaging front differentials starting becoming a thing. I am sure there are many out there that couldn't put my old Toyota in low range because you have to put it in reverse to get it in 🤷♂️
@@maracing6175 I know right. My Tacoma did that every now and again, strange.
@@maracing6175 vacuum hubs are great until theyre not.
@@grigorirasputin996 all technology is great until it is not 🤣
@@iansullivan7777 my Toyota is old enough that it is by design
Snow bath ! Raise your hand if you've had a snow bath ! Got do what you gotta do.
They suck, but they work.
I like the elevation-temp change descriptions. It's interesting to see how much of a difference it is from the valley to the mountains. Great video as usual!
I love your method of chaining the cat and tightening it on the trailer! Nice job! Now that's efficient.
That looks like a job for a team of horses.
Been there, done that. True horsepower.
We know who to call for mules!
@@wssides Casey.
Only if the are wearing calked shoes.
it is amazing how you can get 5 adults in that snow cat!
Like a clown car....we’ve all been there. Recently, My son picked up me and my buddy in his 96 Ranger regular cab...thankfully it was a short trip 😂
Way too claustrophobic for me!
@@richardelliott9511 I would have ridden on top..Or kicked Matt out of the drivers seat
@@airbryan61 i guess that means on top, good luck getting Matt out of that drivers seat! Lol
That mud was so like the stuff around here, sticky, gloopy and slipy, plus a delicate shade of orange that stains everything it sees never mind touches. Nice driving by Lizi :-)
Matt didn't even notice Rudy throw snow on him when laid down to hook the front of the Lexus.
that was so funny hahaha
I thought his shoes did it lol
Once that muddy clay stuff gets stuck in your tire treads you're basically running on four bald tires.
Agree, one reason why most mud terrain tires are good at throwing mud/clay off from treads while spinning the tires.
I've found tire chains work well for clay that has a bottom.
That's why you need good Mud tires for ejecting the mud from the tread
@@kristoferfc6525 and you need enough power to spin them fast so they clean better.
@@pjford1118 Tire chains are supposed to work just as well in mud as snow. But not as many people know that, plus putting them on in the mud can be disgusting.
Hey Matt and LARGE Crew
That Snow Cat looks like it is so much fun and is still such a work horse.
You might have used the Snow Cat on the first recovery in the Mud !
Thank you for taking us along.
Fun to watch you and your team traverse through adversity. Good peeps!
Well that's where my Amazon package got stuck thanks for towing it out 😂😂
Squid mobile. Amazon was pissed off.
🤣 Good one.
Yea those silly drivers trusting the navigation......
That Lizzie is so cute, and always so cheerful. I love this channel.
Having flashbacks of running winch trucks in the WY oilfield. Slick as snot of top of frozen goo.... Most fun Ive ever had driving a truck!!
This channel is the best for so many reasons. Keep up the good work lady and gents!
It must be so nice for Matt to be able to work with his kids! And he can be damn proud over them cause they’re awesome! 👍👏
Rudy is the only one of Matt's kids that seems to be full-time. Kaulin appears every once in a while, and the youngest two don't show up very often. Lizzy is not a member of the family, although fans have tried to match her up with both Rudy and Kaulin.
@@roberthudson1959 Well I’ll be…! There you go! You learn something new every day! Thanks for the info!
Matt: "Slow! Slow!"
Meanwhile inside the van...
Lizzy: "WHOOO WEEE!!! LETS SEE WHAT SHE GOT!!!" *FLOORS IT*
The headliner in the jeep is starting to resemble the inside of a Moroccan tent!
Here I am getting paid to watch Matt’s off road sitting in the work truck. I know I can’t be the only one lol
I hear that😂
Trevor the MVP. His camera work's not bad at all!! That Lexus popped right out. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! :D
Nice sparkle Trevor! I think Matt is having just way too much fun in the mud. Good job Lizzy, you were born to play in the mud. Nice that they plowed the road for you. "I don't remember" you are way too young for that issue. The Sno-Cat pre-upgrades, with current obstacle course. Happy customers out there for half the day, but she looked like she was doing OK which was good.
Can we get a Ed cam!? I’d love to see what Ed thinks throughout the job! Great work!
That mud reminds me of my road last winter. It was just a sheet of ice. I had decent winter tires but I was so close to just buying studed tires. There was numerous times myself or family members slid into the ditch. Yall did a great job of the rescue. Stay safe!
That is some "Barbarossa" class rasputitsa there. Was Matt using snow to wash off mud? Hard core.
Only Russians and Germans would appreciate this statement. Technically, though, Barbarossa was over by the time rasputitsa started.
I was just thinking the same thing. looks like those german tanks, trucks, and horses on the eastern front.
about 2:50 lmao Lizzy -> (stankface) -> (sees camera) -> (smile & wave) hahaha
“Stay in the ruts Matt, stay in the ruts” Ed is a comedic genius
Another excellent video, thanks for the opportunity to ride along with the MORR crew.👍👍👍👍👍
The Banana with chains would have helped in the mud and managed in that snow just fine. The guy in Lexus needs to get and keep chains accessible if he’s going to explore isolated roads.
What a cheerful bunch, mud snow, long drives, late nights and they are still laughing. It amazes me that people drive their cars places where I would hesitate to drive a tractor.
Hey Matt! I see you changed out the Milestar Patagonia’s awhile ago. I would like to hear your thoughts on them as well as your new tires after using them for awhile!
Seems like the Snow Cat tamping the snow down helps everybody who comes along on tires.
Not only is Matt rescuing people he's also providing a valuable public service
I’m getting my jeep built do do recovery’s here in Alberta cause so many people get stuck in the mud here and can never get out, so might as well make some side money from it haha!
I just got an XJ for this summer, ill keep you in mind when I get myself in trouble lol
@@cowpattyification haha sounds good man, assuming your in Alberta ? I just got a 2000 XJ a couple months ago that I’m going to build up, made the mistake and bought ones that already had lifts but they were beat to hell and had to many motor and trans problems for my liking. So I found a stock one 😊
From nasty clay to frozen old snow , my two least favorite situations , atleast both of those areas where nice and roomy and flat ... You guys rock !!
It might be a good idea for Rudy to sharpen his skills and make a door for the back seat of you snow buggy, so you don't have climb over the front seat.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery what about putting a slide under the passenger seat ? if there is room.
Rudy said he is going to make his own snowcat, so forget some little door! After his work on the Corvair, I have no doubt he can if he can afford the parts.
A quick release for the passenger seat to pull it out of the way somehow.
But of course focus on the show stoppers first.
I love it when you have a crew with you, especially Lizzy, she's pretty smart.
I've been in mud like that before too! Not fun! good job getting them out!
something about that Utah mud. I hit mud like that North of St. George, Utah. Felt like the time I was driving on a solid sheet of ice in Virginia one cold winter.
The passenger seat out of a 2-door jeep - the seat that flips forward - would make life way easier for the back-seat drivers in the snowcat! But on the other hand, it's fun for us viewers watching everyone try to fold themselves in and out of the back seat...
You need a set of serious backup lights on that snowcat.
Love that snowcat - one cool unit. Great work putting it together!!
Lizzy is a joy to watch and listen to. She gets all the gravy jobs!
Sure have thing for her don't ya. Bit creepy and weird. Maybe you should watch and not comment.
@@Boga217 you must be one of those "anti 1st amendment creeps"
@@Boga217 I agree with ya derek, been noticing since the first time they got her on the channel. How when there's 5 people working is lizzy the only one that's great to listen to and always getting down and dirty or doing the hard work, or whatever you weirdos say. She's like a 17 year old kid 😂
@@Sprier yeah I have a daughter near this age and they have made my daddy grab a shotgun instinct perk up haha.
@@Boga217 Good man, our girls are #1.
Yeah, I have first hand experience with that kind of "adobe"/clay mud because I used to live for many years on a ranch about 50 miles from the nearest town, all on a dirt/mud and sand/arroyo "road"... If it had just rained or the snow was melting and making it muddy, you absolutely HAD to drive in/out to town either after it had mostly dried out OR, (if in winter), in the middle of the night/early morning before sunrise when that mud was still frozen, or else you would most definitely get stuck, even with a 4 wheel drive truck or SUV!...
That kind of clay based mud is all over Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico for sure, (maybe Texas and Nevada too?), and it is exactly like driving on top of axle GREASE on top of ICE! LOL! It is no joke! You have literally NO traction whatsoever with normal passenger car or SUV tires!...
We were always having to rescue people who got lost and/or stuck on our property when driving through it when it was muddy. Luckily we had a full time 4-wheel drive Kubota tractor with manually locking diffs to pull them out, which is basically what kind of tires you need for ANY kind of useable traction in this type of mud! (because of the extra large "paddle" type lugs on tractor tires, plus their much larger diameter and width than most car/truck tires)
I think it’s time, for a brady bunch intro parody. it would be fun!
That motorhome in the background is awesome!!
i just noticed you don't do the little map things that show the distance you have to travel anymore! plz bring it back
I second that.
Same! Was a cool feature.
Really like your videos Matt. I also like the beautiful area that you live in and appreciate that you give us a small travelogue on the way to and from a recovery. I was going back to the beginning of your UA-cam videos and catching up on all your adventures and noticed that in one video you made two mentions and a couple of arrows pointing out a magnet tree, but you never explained what that was exactly? Google did not enlighten me all that much. ALSO.. every time I see four or five of you packed into that snow cat, I think of how easy it would be to add another door to the passenger rear to ease getting in and out of that back seat.. but maybe that would weaken the cab's structure too much. Anyway.. You keep'a makin' em and most of a million of us will keep on a'watchin' em. Thanks Matt!
I wish I had an "Ed" too.... That dude is the man
Amazon sells em
Rudy your close quarters and discomfort reminds me of a little adventure while I was in college about a half century ago. I think I was moving out of the dorm back home for the summer. I caught a ride home with a friend from college. I had to ride in the back seat with all the stuff college students bring back home but my little adventure was lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes. Not a lot of fun but obvious I survived!
Yes, there was a line we know from Casey. Well done! I would love to see another collaboration.
Ditto. Let's hope it was a nod toward reconcilation & future collaboration.
@@permaquilter9111 I hope so! Sometimes he best friends are the ones you hated the most
@@permaquilter9111 Did they have a dispute ?
@@neues3691 - Apparently some time last year. I've seen the odd mention of a rift in the comments of both channels but have no clue and honestly don't care, I just wish it hadn't happened.
@@permaquilter9111 Now that I think of it they suddenly stopped doing collaborations. Whatever
Ha, ha, that transit was like a young pup on a lead, going everywhere except in the direction of the rope 🤪🇷🇴🇬🇧🤣
2:56 👋
Something tells me this isn't quite as fun as it looks lol
I think that depends entirely on what seat you get in the snowcat.
@@kschleic9053 Good point.
Usually that’s how it works when it’s your job. I like to work on my car but I hated working on vehicles as a job.
@@iansullivan7777 I dunno my job neither looks fun or is fun. 😄
It's probably a dream job at least twice...
Couple episodes ago rudy made the comment he was just gonna go back to the shop and build another corvair. This episode he says im just going to build a snow cat. We hear where your headed with this rudy. Tracks+corvair= snow cat 🤤😀 get buildin!!
Great job, looks like fun with the snow cat. Lizzie.... maybe you can talk Rudy into making a door to enter the second row of seats in the cat. I was figuring 2 more doors, but even one would help so you don't have to crawl over the front seats and hurt your back on the ceiling. Keep up the Great work, your channel is a welcomed Reality Escape from Seattle life! 😁👍
Has the craziness slowed down up there? In the 70s I lived in Winlock, and we use to go up to Bremerton, then take the ferry to Seattle. I was a nice trip back then.
@@Rat-Builder don't go to Seattle unless you're carrying a side arm. The homeless are rampant and they bite. The cops and the private "For profit" court system is Beyond Corrupt. Californians fled here after they destroyed their state and in just a few years now Seattle went from Beautiful to "Ruins". They even tax you for rain water collection if you have a barrel near your gutter..... miserable place. We bought a home in Montana, moving soon!
@@timmorris3056 Wow!!! You will like Montana. I live in Idaho, and I love it. If memory serves me correct, there is a lot of rain in Seattle. Why are their panties in a knot for collecting rainwater?
I love the ending recaps they are always interesting for sure.
Lizzy doing the weather was enjoyable with chef positive attitude and honesty
Izzy and Trevor are hysterical. Superb additions to the cast.
Can't agree more. My favorite is Randy
Beautiful background of the flat mountain capped with snow.
I noticed you're not much for trailer ramps LOL. I guess when you have vehicles that can just crawl up the back of the trailer you don't really need them. Love you videos
They never seem to make them strong enough.
It is amazing how after having seen a few of Matt's Off Road Recovery videos you will have to ability to tell the year and month of recording by the level of the Banana's head liner sag.
I am going to miss the the Banana every time the Morvair is used now.
As a European, I appriciate that u wrote Fahrenheit in Celsius as well.
@Carolus Magnus US think Farenheit , most other places think Celcius. Matt thinks of all the places his channel is viewed.
@Carolus Magnus Much easier to do recoverys on warm , dry days. Trouble is no one gets stuck on warm dry days.
One extreme to the other. Lovely slidey sticky mud, with a dash of snow, to deep snow, and cold! Both very awesome.
Good morning and thumbs UP to M.O.R.R !
A tire company should sponsor you, and follow you around with a truck and trailer, in the trailer would be all their finest wheel-sets they could advertise on the show, on every type of job imaginable, that combines with the tire design as needed, setup with just the right tire design that you need for the right job. Variations of Winter-tread, mud-tread, rock/gravel-tread, highway-tread designs. "Jimmy, it's mudtime!" *James rolls out mud-flap tire wheels, helps jam out the mounting while talking about the design*
AND/OR... a new tire design, Winter-tread on the inside, Mud-tread on the outside, Highway tread in the middle, with some natural rubber, mixed with flax/hemp polymers, to give it grip, high-impact resistance, but long life.
The next time I use snow to clean mud off my hands/arms, I'm calling it a "Utah bath."
A tarp type thing! No way. You go Matt! Bout time. Snow cat, 'snow problem. In, out and done. Thanks MORR and more.
"Hey, lets take our van to a place where even serious off roaders are having a hard time keeping traction. Oh and also, lets make sure there are no recovery hooks/points on our van while we're at it".
Mom Whip😂
Matt I’m blown away by what you’ve done with the corvair truly it’s awesome, how has no one put a sliding track in the snow cat so the passenger seat can come forward so they don’t have to play twister everytime they get in and out?
That looks like so much fun in a 4x4
Good stuff! I have big fat Pagagonia's on my wife's Rubicon and they do very well in the Sand as a Flotation Tire. I just purchased some new 'Hybrid Type R/T' tires to go on my much heavier Power Wagon for all around use. For the ultimate Mud/Snow Machine, I run 37' TSL Super Swampers on my Desert Storm Era Surplus M998 Humvee, and haven't been stuck yet. Though even with that, it is a delicate balance of wheel speed being high enough to 'self clean', but slow enough to maintain control once some momentum is gained. Fun stuff! Again, please watch for my personal email as I could be a real asset as another friendly hand with the proper vehicles and experience out here to help you, others you can't get to (free of charge) or
just pal out with when you are overwhelmed or get calls out here in Eastern Kane County, from Kanab over to Arizona.
Waiting for the day that the UA-cam money comes in so hard the channel just becomes the team tracking down stuck people and puling them out for free anywhere they can because they need more content.
Now that would be awesome!
Everyone in favor, like, share, subscribe, and comment away!
And remember that they get credit for every comment.
Oh yea - free tows
Matt, I always keep a good set of walkie talkies in my jeep just in case. I think you would enjoy having them as well.
Keep up the good work. Cheers Mate 😎
“Slippery as snot” is what I say 😜 That stuff is no fun!!!
like frog snot on a slate rock .
"Slicker than owl shit"
It is fun though, when not stuck... 😁
Slicker than deer guts on a door knob.
-The Dillards
A snow cat. Now we're talking. I don't watch all of these(but I've watched ten tonight), but it's cool that Rudy is a second lieutenant now and probably will move up. Lizzy listens to him.
I'll wait until my lunch break to watch, but I'll add my "like" now cause I already know I'm going to enjoy this. 👍
Where I'm from on the Cali coast, van mud'n is just a part of life here. Shreddin' the gnar 365. There's no way around it, just through it.
On the upside, the loading of the snow track is now well slick :D
BEST to watch on UA-cam! Great job all, especially camera crew
Lizzie's my hero.. I like Lizzie.. sweet as can be. GREAT JOB Lizzie.. oh and the rest of you did ok too!! :)
Hair of Gold, Eyes like the Sky, the Girl Next Door, with a Spirit like the Wind.
Another nice mud job! Great camerawork, Trevor!
Snowcat was pretty crammed!
Love your channel
How much does it cost when they have to bring that tank out lmao.
Of all the videos I have watched of these guys in sand - snow - ice - THIS has got to be the most challenging substance I have ever seen them operate in. I have never seen the banana slide around with like 20% control.
Having a good dad makes all the difference in the world. Lucky girl Lizzy.
Matt is not her dad. But it's obvious she has good parents!
Yesterday you had a car in the mud with the drivers side in the ditch. You hooked on to the high side and pulled the car a long way before it came out of the ditch! When I drove a wrecker in Alaska, the first thing I learned was always hook on to the low side!
... Lizzie is a good hand... never runs over the rope, fearless, good driver, sweet .. makes a good channel a great channel..., and one of the prettiest girls walking the face of the planet
6:10 They always take charge in issuing chores. It's natural, you do not have to fear it but smile 😊and say "Yes Dear"..
Haha, good times.
Next time, tell your state representatives not to make the whole southern part of the state out of crushed, eroded sandstone.
A great crew from Max and Lady to Ed to Lizzy to Randy all quality people living life to help others. Just love the Matt's Towing family.
I've always wondered what some people are thinking sometimes🤔 As young as Lizzy is, she's probably got more common sense than most adults😊
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro! Those tires are the way to go. 19 years of wheeling and multiple different sets of tires, under my belt. A year ago, I bought the STT Pros, these are my forever tires. I'll never buy another brand or make. Just a thought I had, when you mentioned, "these tires are not doing well, in the mud, at all".
Problem being Matt never knows if his next rescue is going to be snow, mud or beach sand hard to find a tire which excels at all 3 as each require a different tire design.
@@iffykidmn8170 quite true. However, it takes personal research of many different tires to find what works, for you. No, there isn't one tire that works great for everything. However, in my 19 years of off-road experience, and 7 completely different tires (different brands and treads), I find that the STT Pros do VERY well in all the above situations. I mostly wheel in Colorado (mud, snow, sand, slick rock) we have it all, and the Coopers hook up everytime. Again... this is my experience and opinion. I'm just offering a suggestion, sir.
back in the day with horse and wagon, when you entered this ... one shot for the horse and one for you Oo i cant imagine there was a way outta there
Basically, hunker down till it either freezes or dries up.
There are many interesting stories of Southern Utah being settled. The settlers were a tough bunch!
Really nice job of the filming, Trevor! Some great angles and shots there!
Great shirt Ed!
It's always great to see the boss getting out and doing the dirty work for a change.. haha.....Wadda ya think Lizzy? Matt, you definitely need a back/rear side door for people to get into those back seats.. come on.. help the workers out.... or at least have the front seats that slide forward and fold etc.
ED: “I didn’t get too muddy”
@2:40 ~ My God, it is amazing to me how much the Utah terrain and vegetation matches where I live in the Owyhee Mountains of southwestern Idaho, and southeastern Oregon...
I'm in Cascade Idaho!
@@bradhowlett1 I used to live/work there. Now I'm in Owyhee County...
Lots of love from india❣️
Having the right equipment makes the job look easy. Nice work.
