Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
Thank you Matt for saving my Dad and his good friend. I've watched so many of your rescues since then. On behalf of my Family and many others that you have helped, thank you for everything you do! You are truly a modern-day superhero!
Thank God!❤🙏
🧢
Sometimes ya just pick the good one and from watching his videos, I'd say that mat and his crew are the kinda people you want to have around when the manure hits the winnowing fan. Kinda reminds me of my dad.
Hopefully you took your dad's keys away. He's lucky to be alive.
@@brandonerrorcontentmissing4012 I hope you remember this comment when/if you get old.
I had the pleasure to meet Matt at his garage a couple of weeks ago while I was in Hurricane. Even though his shop was closed, I saw him sitting out front of his garage. He allowed me and my wife to come in. Matt was exactly as he is on video, a very gracious and honest person. He took me into shop showed me the banana and explained what he had done and was doing to it. The way he handled this rescue of the older couple just solidify my deep respect and admeration toward him and his whole crew. Matt, Thank you for your time with me and stay safe
God bless you Matt I hope I never need your help professionally (I have been rescued by a jeep much like the banana in the winter in Pennsylvania) but I'd love to run into you someday!
I had the pleasure of meeting Matt, Rudy and the rest of the team at the Cache Valley Cruise in this July. I agree with your comments 100%. Matt and his team are amazing. So happy that this recovery turned out well. Those cow trails look pretty intense. They look even more scary in the day.The desert gets very cold at night. Once you get off the freeway and out of a populated area cell service becomes pretty limited. Glad they were ok and it turned out well for everyone.
Matt and crew should get the UA-cam polite and consideration award !!!
I'm pleasantly unsurprised to hear that he so genuine! Glad you got to meet him and just glad he's out there helping people....and dragging RZRs out of the sand lol
God bless Matt and crew! You're doing good work!
Thank you so much for rescuing my grandpa Gary!! It took him a week or so to recover from dehydration/exhaustion, he struggled to keep food down as well. My family and I are so grateful that you were able to help him and his friend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
God bless your grandparents..glad they are just fine
Bro. There’s legit another comment saying it’s somebody else’s grandpa and they said a different name. One of y’all are lying.
@@BWADaniel There's two gentlemen in the truck. Blaine and Gary. This OP's grandpa is Gary, the other commenter's gpa is Blaine... learn to read the details instead of being lazy and accusing someone of lying because you're too stupid to realize what's going on.
@@BWADaniel there were two old men in the truck. Two different old men, are very likely two different old grandpas. Use a little critical thinking.
@ok go you gave them the time of day.....
The fact that Matt went back when he really didn’t need to is a testament to his character. You guys ROCK.
I mean if you're any type of decent human being, i would hope everybody would do the same. I would almost feel like it was my fault if i didn't insist that they follow me back to pavement that night. If it were me helping them that night, that is.
He never ever should’ve left those old people out there , I would have never left them out there after being stranded all day. It was dark they were tired I’m sure they were confused and again they were elderly you should’ve made sure that they reach the pavement.
@@muthrfuqrjonz3530 if you watch the end he explains a little bit as to why he didnt bring them all the way out
@@its_jumpy6409 also Rudy needed gas ⛽️
He left the customer stranded.
Not a good look
Bless you, Matt, for going back out. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY PEOPLE WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. You and your family and friends and employees are special people that truly care for others. It's more than just making a living. Inspiring.
For sure!
I mean the folks that get the American spirit in them and take a rental car on a trail to see the views and trash a car is one thing, but I imagine these types of things are common for locals.
Amen, you are one in a million! May the good Lord always bless and keep you. 👍
Yes 100%.
@Iron *Fe* that what i was thinking too when i saw that cliff. sometimes bad things happens for a good reasons.
What sent Matt to that level of emotion might have been when he was driving the mans car out, realizing how narrow the road and that this man drove the road at night, then trying to turn around...You folks should always have a few 5 gal containers of fuel at the shop.
"My map says we're not on a road." Rudy cracks me up...again!!!
I've had that happen to me sometimes.
What made it even weirder was the fact that I was blasting along on an Autobahn-like road when I got that notion. 😱
Regardless of the perfect storm that created this bad scenario, you never abandoned and never gave up on the customer, you got’em out , even with a fearful look on your faces, you guys are awesome
Agree 10000 percent, MATT was under no obligation to go back,, it goes to show what kind of person he is. and its a positive
Easily one of the best guys on UA-cam. Heard one of his customers never made it home and he immediately went out to find him. So happy to have found this channel
If UA-cam gave out humanitarian awards for going above and beyond, this would be a good place to do it.
Good job MORR!!
Yes to the award, but if it's from youtube, it'd be less than worthless...
This is "Gold Standard" caring and service.
Wish there were more people around with your ethics.
Regards from S Africa
Another South African fan , 👍🏾👍🏾
When I saw Matt bust the bead on the tire with the rotor, I thought “BRILLIANT!”
I did the first two weeks of my apprenticeship at the Ford Trade School in the UK, but I felt I learnt so much more when I got to work with the people who'd been doing the actual job for years. The training school instructors were mostly ex-college and uni with little or no real hands on experience. I'm 100% sure which group of people would be more likely to know the tire bead breaking trick, and it wouldn't be the 'I got all my experience at college' guys.
Absolutely!!!
first question the older gentelmen asked when they rushed to him with food and food was "did you give some to my buddy up on top?" while dehydrated and exhausted the first thing he is thinking about was his buddy. Man what a true friend
I'm an old guy and my wife and I go out often on this road, annnnnd some others... I am grateful that Matt and people like him are around if we ever think ourselves young again and get in over our gray heads... We are very careful, believe me, but sometimes things just happen...
Matt and crew, you are an angel among us...
There are lots of "windy and up and downy" roads in the area. 😂 Best description from Lizzy about the roads. 😁.
As a regular customer, you’ve personally enjoyed at least half of those fantastic back roads! Or more! 😀
Lizzy is a trooper through and through 😋👍💖✌
How else was I supposed to explain it?😂
@@morrlizzy5350 Your doing a fantastic job!! 😋 Take care 😎👋👋✌
@@morrlizzy5350 I loved it! It's perfect for that area for sure.
I’m sure that was a gut wrenching moment when you heard they never came home. So glad it all worked out and everyone is fine!!
Thank goodness the two older gentlemen are safe. I was shocked to see him leave his vehicle and start walking. This is a cardinal rule in Australia "dont leave your vehicle".
Well, I guess the reason we have a rule is that people do it.
Makes sense in australia, in a high desert at an altitude like that though its hot sure, but theres plenty of shade. Combine that with the fact that this region's backcountry roads are considerably shorter than Austrailias, i think the guy made the right move to walk down to where they took a wrong turn in the hopes of flagging someone down. I just hope he thought about what it would take to get back to the truck in the evening if noone showed up
Some places you stay with the vehicle, some you hike out. Tough call at that guy's age and physical condition though.
Same here too.
As I write this, there are 80 "thumbs down" ...80!!! WHAT do you people want? This channel is as good as it gets! REAL people....treating others in a bind, with respect.
It just doesn't get any better than that..... God bless you Matt & crew
I am sure it was terrifying to get that call in the morning. I am glad it worked out.
There are now 132 "thumbs down" it boggles the mind why some one would
@@simplyrik1496 I agree.
Bruce Koster. I would bet half those downers didn't even watch, they just
get up in the morning go through utube and dislike everything to try to
upset people. The upside is while they are doing this, they are not out
on the streets kicking kids dogs, scratching car paintwork or chucking
rocks through old ladies windows.
It really is odd, especially this being such a good episode. I’m gonna answer with a question, how many of the thumbs down have their own channels named “Bobs off road recovery” or something similar? 😂 … some people are just miserable.
I’m an addict. I’m addicted to “wholesomeness”, and I come here to mainline the purest stuff there is, uncut straight from the source.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh 🤤
That is the best explanation..."wholesomeness"!!! Could not have said it better.
haha, that is a pretty neat way to put it. Well said!
Lessons I learned from this:
- Always have a good spare.
- Always top off the fuel before 'wheeling'.
- Always have "truck snacks" and water.
Great video folks, thank you. Glad everyone is safe.
I think more important lesson was if you have a choice between elderly customer and a friend with low gas, then don't go with the second, human life more precious than an hour of waiting for gas.
Man, how many sleepless nights if things have turned out different?
I'd take a GPS and emergency phone as well.
@@koitk true but Rudy is Matt's son and if I were Matt I'd have followed Rudy too. I'm sure Matt was kicking himself for not insisting that those guys in the white truck follow him. Glad it ended well.
People are free to make their own decisions. If the older gentleman wanted to drive in a different direction it's not Matt's responsibility or right to dictate what decision he makes. The situation couldn't have been handled better on Matt's end. The older gentleman could have made better decisions to not put himself in that situation again, but he didn't. Matt's kindness and emotional maturity showed in this episode.
@@rodneymartin6154 Well its not like he's 12 that in worst case scenario he couldn't be by himself for two hours in the desert while Matt gets back to him with gas. My whole point is if you are in rescue business if you want to do good job then your job will not end with tyre replacement and off you go. I get you can do that but that's not good for your business or your clients.
Anyways choices were made and lucky everything turned out fine, my whole point was to say that in that case there were better choices for everybody.
You are a total saint. All that way for a tire then a rescue mission. You guys are awesome 💯
Holy smokes! I'm so glad it turned out ok. My 85 yo dad sometimes does things like this. It's tough getting old and slowly losing your abilities. Great rescue Matt and crew and thanks for sharing.
I'm 60 years old, and I hope that as I get older I'm smart enough to realize that I don't know everything and I need to listen to other people and accept their help - especially when they are obviously experts in their field. I know our society tends to have a "respect your elders" type of mentality, but that only works when the elders are willing & able to recognize when stepping down from leadership is the right thing to do.
Our society hasn't had a respect your elders mentality since it started warehousing parents and grandparents in old folks homes.
@@percyfaith11 That isn't entirely true. I would say many young folk do not give they respect they should to their elders, but there are a great many people who still do. Don't let a few bad ones make you loose your faith in humanity. Good people are all around us.
👍
@@percyfaith11 Your generalization of "warehousing parents and grandparents in old folks home" demonstrates a lack of your understanding and care for those who care for the elderly. I am right now staked out in my Mothers room at a care facility waiting for her final days to pass. The kindness and care of the people at this facility is to the same level that Matt and his crew put forth on this mission. All angels willing to save and provide comfort.
At the end he was a real gentleman/man at his age he took accountability for the situation and was greatful to say the least. I watch because you are real people, thank you for being genuine it goes so far these days in a world full of fakes and phonies.
BUT
ok. Wonderful everyone got out well & when concerns kick in its difficult to get everything right. Tire-gas-to older gentlemen out driving after dark. Suggest having that locator function in maps ON for Mr Blake & family tracking whats up. Other than those hillside/sinkhole rescues this was the hairiest call I've followed. Really appreciate the lady who gets stuck all the time.. ✌💖 & ☕🎂
@@ronsmith1364 yep, gotta he careful out there. If Matt lost another tire he may have been sitting a night waiting..
I think I see an air compressor in Matt's future. Run highway pressure in those monster tires until you get to the slow-speed portion. Air down, do the rescue, air up and drive home. I bet Viair would give you a great deal in exchange for a sticker on some Banana and Morevair real estate!
@@ronsmith1364I think Matt's crew needed tire & gas, old guy, just install spare I think
Man you can see the worry in your faces as you go back out looking for these gentlemen and the instant relief when you found them I'm sorry this happened to all involved however it did show us once again the character of everyone associated with Matt's Recovery family. This is why we all continue to watch you guys
11:48 This is one of the reasons I watch this channel. The first thing he does is asks if they are ok and "Do you need any water?". ABSOLUTELY Class act brother! God Bless you and yours! Blessings from Texas. I hope to someday have the chance to actually get to meet you. (Not for a professional reason of course!) Keep up the awesome friggin work you do for everyone!!!!!!!!!!
This video demonstrates who "Matt's Off Road Recovery" employees really are, and what they are all about. Your and Lizzy's wrap up was emotional for us all. I can't imagine how you felt when you learned they never made it home. It was your most urgent "rescue", ever! New slogan..."Never leaves a customer behind"! Great job, team!!
Yes 🥲
Usually Matt makes sure his customers get out of the trails by watching them till they reach the paved road. I guess Rudy having been low on fuel distracted him.
Matt actually ensures that his clients get out to the paved road all the time. He waits for them and ensures it. Even though it’s not his job after rescuing clients from their predicament.
And maybe install a bracket for an extra gas can too!
Amen
You can literally see the importance from Matt’s demeanor the next morning. He didn’t care about any shot he was too busy caring about people. We need more Matt and his crew
taking care of elderly people is defently similar to those videos of ducks trying to keep all thier ducklings in a group and heading in the same direction, it's a full time job and you cant take your eyes off them, thier 50 year of experience doing things on thier own gives them a false confidence that they can continue to do everything, a 80 year old is much like a 10 year old, you can trust them to drive around the parking lot, but not acrost town. This comes from a person that just raised two sets of grandparents and got them to thier final destination. Defently taught me alot, this episode had me crying from good and bad memories, good job guys.
This is probably the best feel good video I have ever seen. The kindness that Matt and crew showed to these men is 5 stars !
Matts a true guy. Feels responsible for his customers. This time, he and his partner Lizzy gets this job DONE! Respect!
Agree. All's well that ends well and thankfully this did.
These are the people that remind us that we still have the dirtbags outnumbered......Hard working and doing the right thing! These are MY PEOPLE!
The fact that Matt showed so much concern on this rescue speak volumes of his character. Thanks for being who you are and doing what you do in such a honest fashion. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and keep up the good work.
Ditto
100% and the fact that he apologized for not having video of the moment of finding the customer just reinforces that threir priorities are in the proper order, people over profits.
Good on you for going out again. You probably saved 2 lives.
Planning and preparation is the key to life.
Thank God you found them. Tow companies and operators just aren't appreciated enough. Every day heroes.
The "Dude we have to find this guy" look show's volumes about your character & how much that very thing influences all those around you. So glad you found them & got them to safety.
As the world becomes cold and turns a blind eye to those in need, Matt and his team are a beacon of light and hope! God bless you all for your service and kindness! The world needs a lot more of this 🙏❤️
CONSERVATIVES ARE GOOD PEOPLE .. ITS THE LIBERALS THAT WILL TURN A BLIND EYE..
@@tammylott921 🙄 lol at politics dominating your life. Sorry

@@JoeMcFarlanesgoogleYou have all my respect Sir. This is how we lead by example. No colorful language, no high tone of voice...
👏👏👏
That's why I watch you guys. You care about people. I just love this channel. Keep up the good work. Some day i want to meet you guys. I'm in Spokane, Wa.I run a mobile repair truck and shop.
I bought a Matt’s OffRoad Recovery Rope and have luckily not had to use it yet! I do like how Matt has more faith in the soft shackles now for heavier vehicles!! Please keep showing close ups of the connection points of the soft shackle for various vehicles and complexity on how it is stuck, we’re learning and being entertained!
Its MUCH better than Static anything!
Be careful leaving it in your vehicle year round. The extreme temperatures it experiences in your vehicle actually will dry rott the rope. Not saying its a cheap rope. Its a fantastic rope. But conditions in your vehicle aren't favorable conditions for preservation of the rope.
Edit: I wonder if there's an oil you can spray on it from time to time.
@Not your Business same here, i did get a matts rope, mostly to support his channel as I love it. Haven't had to use the rope yet, but have plans for it soon when i go down to Galveston
@Not your Business soft shackles are VERY easily cut on abrupt edges even if they are not actually sharp.
You should keep a range of bow shackles in your kit bag as a back up.
@Not your Business pretty sure they have them on the site i could be wrong.
Being in that situation and making very hard decisions and then to get the news that an older gentleman never made it out, makes you so worried that you might have made the wrong decision last night. The great news is, that he is fine, and what a sigh of relief. Everyone is alive and well. Congrats to all involved. And what big hearts you have for helping that man, good job guys!!!
Matt's whole team seems to have *huge* hearts. (And their diet of gas station food can't be helping that!) 😀
Angels are still all around us. Matt, you and your family are true angels. 👼 may God bless you and keep you. 🙏
Best episode ever, from the previous “too many boring Razors” to this classic gold that will be the most-viewed of them all.
That episode were an XJ is sideways in a sinkhole is still their best IMHO.
Ikr, I'm crappin my pants 👖 thinking the poor folk perished lolz, damn you tube scary stuff 😅great vid
Seeing someone’s face turn from fear to relief is fantastic, we once found a lady wondering alone in sub freezing conditions in the mountains who had become separated from her party, hot coffee, a sandwich and a chocolate bar made her smile again. Well done guys.
Your are all so human, and a big heart, you'll always will have good things to your life, there is hope on earth. Thanks to do what you do.
What a gem of a channel. You guys are producing what reality TV was meant to be and are doing it 100x better than how the "pros" do it. None of the needless hype, fake drama and empty cliff hangers - just good, real stories.
I used to watch "Highway Through Hell" but past the first couple seasons, it became all manufactured interpersonal drama. I hated that, because I just wanted to see the ingenuity and cool equipment that these professionals use. I've found this channel to be exactly what I was looking for!
COMPLETELY agree!
Couldn’t agree more, well said.
I can't even imagine how many offers you get from TV channels. Please don't ever sell out, your videos are amazing.
yep then it would just become a dramatic show with fake incidents and scripted words. Nothing better than watching the real thing
@@kanecountyjail4422 Don't forget the fake suspense before every single add break
That was the first time a recovery scared me. Glad everyone is ok!!!
Some of those narrow roads with steep, deep dropoffs give me PTSD.
Life savers in a very literal way there. What a great crew you guys are. 👏
If more people were like this the world would be much better for it. Good luck to you
Can’t believe I’ve never seen that trick for breaking the bead; using the brake rotor and a jack. Good trick to remember.
Need to leave the dust sheild off so it doesn't get crumpled up!
With a farmer lift jack it is easy too
Funny how the simplest things are the hardest to think of.
I usually take the tire put it under the rear hitch set the jack on top of it and Jack against the hitch and the weight of the vehicle will pop the bead
@@kayfelix5054 I get sketched out with those jacks.
THANK YOU guys so much for rescuing them! Glad that you could get my Grandpa (Blaine) and his friend home safely. Also, Thank You for the awesome T-shirts and stickers. Just got to wait a few years to grow into them.
Why was your grandpa and his friend driving offroad in the wilderness in his state? Maybe time to have a talk with him about not being capable of doing the things he once could. If you cant change a tire or even walk unaided, offroad is not a good place to be!
@@ThatSB have you tried to tell an elderly man that he's no longer capable of doing something? It is no easy task.
@@Jayrok1985 but their grandpa got trapped twice in one day!
Your grandpa is going to kill himself if he keeps that up. You need to have a talk with him
@@Authan65 Why even say that you piece of trash. Wake up to yourself.
Your job was done when you changed his tire. Kudos to you guys for caring enough to go back in to rescue him again.
That's really awesome of you guys to go back and rescue him!
I can only imagine that sinking feeling when you got the call in the morning that would have been very scary. I'm so happy everyone was ok in the end
11:48 “How are you doing? Do you need any water?” So professional, so caring. My son is an EMT and has been “first on the scene” at several accidents while off duty and always runs to the service of others without a thought. Not for money - just a heart for serving others. It makes me so proud - and I’m so happy to see this attitude from Matt, Lizzie and the rest of the team. Well done! I’m already a subscriber - but this channel just jumped ahead of all of my other subscriptions. I’ll be ordering a yellow rope just as an act of appreciation for the team’s performance in this video.
As a former emt turned medic, tell your son he is doing great things and to continue his education! Medic is the way to go!
As I've aged, I always remember Clint Eastwood's line in Magnum Force "A man has got to know his limitations". Wiser words have never been spoken. These days I've avoided circumstances that in my younger days I wouldn't have hesitated to attempt.
If you can't even manage to change a flat on your own truck, then don't leave the hard stuff.
Years ago I rented a truck and took my dad to the remote parts of Grand Canyon on the South Rim on the Hualapai Indian Reservation. Got a flat in the rental (Dodge Ram) and a local came by and helped us change the tire. Cowboy bro lived way out in the bush. So thankful for him.
You guys may have saved someone's life on this one, you should be proud. Well done MORR team.
Their lack of preparation & not following established best practices could have killed that couple. You don't save a life you yourself put into danger.
@@matthewmuellner ??
@@matthewmuellner ???
@@matthewmuellner No one else could go get them, so they would have died. The people involved said they could make it out . MORR was the ones that saved them twice. You are nobody special.
@@matthewmuellner Whose "lack of preparation" and "established best practices" are you talking about? Matt's?? They changed their tire. They didn't have further responsibility for them beyond that.
The look of admiration on Lizzie's face at the end is terrific.
is she his daughter?
@@arisyn pretty sure she's his Best friends daughter or something. They've known each other Lizzie's whole life or something like that
The amount of hauling ass when Matt and Lizzy did after they found the older customers.. this is why we love these guys and gals.
Hey Matt, Error on the side of being always prepared for the worst... Check your tires before a desert ride, and make sure your tires are in great shape, and most importantly... Always, never leave home without having a spare tire inflated mounted on the top of your rig. Prepare for the the worst to happen! It's like flying a plane... don't leave the ground without checking everything. Never leave without more water than you'll ever need!! Your services are essential to saving lives.
I just lost my brother and dad, buried them both two days ago. I watched this and cried, because at least someone still has their dad and brother because of Matt.
damn bro, so sorry for your loss 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@erickbanks It’s all good; they passed from COVID-19 related symptoms. Only two that didn’t want to get vaccinated in my family.
If they were given the Resveratrol and then put on ventlators, you might do a bit of research on that. My father died 4 days after getting a flu shot.
I can imagine the feeling of being somewhat "responsible" for the late rescue, and then discover that they got lost in the dark 😬
You and your crew did good 👍👍👍
I'm watching the video thinking hope they ain't dead at bottom of some ravine or fallen off dead man's elbow
Matt, Rudy and Lizzie, you deserve a lot of kudos and big hearts for this rescue. thank goodness for your skills and perseverance.
Good job on the recovery! But might I make a suggestion? All the tools in the back you might want to secure. Especially the car jack. If you ever get in an accident or the car rolls, that stuff can do a lot of damage to peoples heads if it goes flying.
Hey Matt, Lizzy, Rudy and anyone else involved with Matt's Off Road Recovery.
You Guys ROCK !
I just turned 73 this month so I know how that customer felt !
What an adventure !
Thank you for being a really great crew and taking us along for the ride.
WOW !
Work Safe, Be Well
Hay stuff happens, things worked out, everyone's ok..One reason why this is one of the best channel on YT is because of Matt and the people he have with him. Down to earth good people..
You guys have good hearts all around. Really glad you were able to get them out.
Matt is one of the best guys in the entire world.
I think so. They are angels.
Hey, it's you!
My worlds are colliding. First Cletus now MORR !Throw er down!
Decent folks ,doin decent work, for decent folks ! American standard service,nice.
You guys show that we can still have faith in humanity the fact that you guys went back for them is amazing great job.
You can tell Matt cares about his customers! A real nice group of people!
I totally can relate to this as it hits close to home. Both my parents are elderly and are very dependent when it comes to driving around town, but the worse thing that comes to mind at times what if they took the wrong turn or get dis-oriented and end up being lost. You are a life saver and guardian angel. Great job from you and your team family!
About 30 years ago, I was driving to a friends house and took a wrong turn. I passed an older man going the opposite direction looking very perplexed. I passed him again when I was leaving my friend's and he had the same look on his face, and was stopped this time. I rolled down my window as he did. I asked if I could help. Turned out that he had severe dementia and had long ago been denied driving. He somehow found the keys and hit the road. He was unable to remember his phone number, but could remember his name. I took him to my friends house and started calling. A few hours later I drove him half way home to meet his family. He was 70 mile from home.
This was an "edge of the seat" video. You could definitely see the concern in Matt's eyes and the elevated pace to find the customer on the second day. Really glad this turned out ok!
Hey Matt I have no words to tell you how I like seeing Dad's working together with his children y am I telling you this because so many families are so broken with so much hate. I like watching your videos I wish God's blessings and stay safe👍
As a tire guy, I approve of your bead breaking abilities 👌
Was lovely to see Matt’s concern for the elderly driver and made sure he was hydrated and fed. I can see why his kids are so lovely and caring.
He was definitely much nicer than I would've been in that situation
This was a good lesson….ANYTIME you go out in the wilderness whether it’s for the day or just an hour, you need to be prepared to assist your yourself, food, water, first aid etc. I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve found people in the back country that were just going to take a little hike and had gotten themselves into trouble with injuries, dehydration or just being lost, every minute you spend going the wrong direction just takes you further and further from help.
This story luckily had a good outcome!
The most important thing is tell SOMEONE nearby where you are going and what you are doing. If it's in a park, then find a ranger's office and let them know you will be going out on a hike or doing whatever out there and where you will be. When done and going home, tell them on the way out that you made it and are heading home. If you get into trouble and do not come back, they know right where to find you. If you wanna go solo off the beaten path, then take a Globalstar satellite phone. The phone bill is costly as hell as well as the phone itself but if you go trekking a lot, it will save your life. Retard-o-phones break within 2 seconds and they always can't get signal from land towers with such a tiny antenna.
I've certainly done the stupid thing. Fortunately, nothing bad has happened. However, I have been out for a hike, a kayak or a drive and realized after getting a long way away that I was not properly prepared if something went wrong. Other times, I feel like I have ten times too much stuff just going a couple of clicks across city on my bike.
another great rescue and recovery 👍 👏 🙏🏼 🙌 great videos 📹 👍 👏 and thanks for bringing us along on your adventures 😀 😊 😄 👍 keep making great videos 📹 👍 👌 thanks..
The fact that you went back out there to look for the customer, shows what kind of people you are!
I am in awe of your true kindness. Bless you all!
And tell Lizzy to be careful on those windy uppy n downy hills.
“We’ll get them out” takes on a whole new meaning. Well done all.
Was waiting on Matt receiving his "I made a call" t-shirt 👕😜👍
Yeah really, I'm so dissappointed! 🤣
Thanks for your service to your community I'm Glad they were ok ! Great job finding them ! I'm 60 yrs old I hope as I get older I know my physical and mental boundaries as I don't want to be a burden on anyone !
Running out of gas is one of my pet peeves, so I always fill up when I get to 1/4 of a tank, but if I'm going out for a long haul, I always fill up because you never know what may happen traveling the back roads in the Out-Back ! A word to the wise; If you have friends or parents who are old you need to make sure they are savvy enough to be out in the Out-Back so they don't get themselves in trouble. That old man (or couple) was/were lucky.
This may seem “whatever” to some but it’s truth: Excellent job following through. You’re wonderful people. It’s never one thing that leads to tragedy but an unknown cascade of events that dominoes. (See every airline incident) That’s what happened. Fortunately you didn’t give up as a crew and their family didn’t either. You stopped the dominoes from falling when your heart sank in the morning. You represent the best in our Country. Good on you!
Mom and Dad are about that age, we got to keep an eye on them. Heavenly Father watching over all of y’all.
Ketchup and Mustard on my corn dog. 😁
I can't say enough about Matt and his team.. Legit, the fact the you care and made it your business to go back out there because you care, because it's the right thing to do, is absolutely commendable.. Love the video's, love the team.. Good stuff..
Terrifying place to go missing with all those sheer drops, glad everyone made it out safely. The customer looked pretty shaken up, really pleased to see you made sure they got home safe it speaks volumes about your guy's character.
And being elderly, with poor eyesight, and hardly able to exit their own vehicle carefully...
I’m so glad there are still wonderful people like you out in the world. Thank you for caring and taking wonderful care of everyone you meet!
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery someone cut your tire????????????
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery you’ve found what works. No reason to fix it if it isn’t broken. Well… that one needs replacement, but you get the idea. 😁
Had a bad run in with one of my customers today (a regular, deliveries) and it was just terrible. This person always had some sort of poor disposition towards me and always was a hard time, I kept my bottom lip up until now. Today I just couldn't deal with them anymore. Left a bad taste in my mouth since I was only trying to be courteous about being careful. Anyway, watching this has reminded me that there are people out there (many other customers of mine) that really are grateful for the services they ask for and watching this video washed that bad taste right out. It reminded me that to try and stay positive and to go over and beyond to satisfy the people that need it the most. I'm glad everything went well and I'm glad you all can relish in the happy outcome. Keep on keeping on.
Always always always stay positive and expel positive energy/ vibes. It always comes back.
You did remind me of a bad tow customer I had once. It's along story and today is my only day off. I'd rather not say it and enjoy my day.
I run a business myself, and still kept a positive attitude with a few real mean customers. The only thing is , when they need my service again , Im too busy for them. I don't need that crap in my life , i'm 59yr. , and trying to work, and also enjoy the rest of my life. I've had customers just this year tip me $300 when I finished the work on their home, and one offer to take my wife , and I out to dinner. One even just this week invited me next year to stay for free, for a week at his place in St. Lucia islands. I don't need idiots in my life, just nice people. I do nice work , the best I can, but still some people try to bust your balls. Don't need them around me.
Our planet needs more good people like guys
We had an elderly couple go missing a few years back out here in the SoCal foothills not more than a few miles from the pavement when they took a "short cut" and their vehicle got stuck. They were diabetic and unfortunately the husband died before they were located and rescued. I understand and commend your urgency in making sure your customers make it home. Good on you!
I started watching MORR almost two years ago and it made me want to visit Utah because of its scenery. I've lived in south Ga my whole life. So I'm taking my wife and kids in December while they're out for Christmas break, my wife's a teacher, maybe we'll get to meet them.
Absolutely, we look forward to it.
You won't be disappointed in the scenery in Utah! In 2017 we took a 52 day trip from Maine around a good part of the US, we ended up spending 10 nights in Utah it was so interesting (we had no idea before we got there). We spent 5 nights sightseeing out of Bluff, 3 out of Hatch, and 2 out of Thompson Springs. Hope to get back some day again.
I'll probably end up wanting to move there.
@@michaeldennison436 I was planing flight to Denver and driving through Utah to another destination getting off I-70 on hwy 128 next to Colorado river and get to Moab that way... Now when i finally have chance to do it no one rents cars with different drop off locationbecause i have to end in Santa Anna, ohh well, eventually
I can only hope someone like you comes to my elderly parent's rescue. Thank you for a job well done.
Thanks for rescuing my son and his friend. As you can see in this video, they are so old and fragile now days. God Bless you.
If that was your son, u are like what,130 yrs😊.
Is it just me or do you feel like one of Matts family? This guy is genuine, kind and truly is a caring man. The whole crew is amazing if ever i was out to this neck of our great country i would be sure to look them up!
I've followed this from the start and the family aspect of it is what makes me attached. Not that it is family oriented per se, but the entire family and crew have that loving, caring sense of inviting the audience to be *in* the family and be a part of the experience. You can't buy things like that, you can't fabricate that kind of narrative from the outside, which makes the difference to "professional" tv productions. Because either that sense is there or it isn't and this crew have it in abundance. This is "real" reality tv, and that's why we love it and want to be a part of it.
Hey Lizzie, you’ve got to wear your seat belt. They save lives and injury.
I thought we had that browbeat into her, obviously not.
The one real issue I have with Matt is safety is taken too lightly by the entire crew. Anything else is simply a difference of opinion but safety is paramont.
If I had a boss like Matt when I was working recovery’s I’d still be doing it, Matt and the whole crew are good people 👍
Fact is your more then just a service to help .You and your crew are the Angles of the roads.Willing to travel far and wide to give comfort and guiding light home.
Id love to meet Matt and the team, I can see this really shook him up. it is safe to say he is a proper nice good old fasioned decent guy. I think it is a saving grace that records everything for youtube. im glad everyone is ok.
I think I enjoyed this episode more than the others. I love seeing Matts heart come out in this video.
Understandable to believe that he was good to go. The old timers tend to know their areas like the back of their hands. Great job, and I know how you feel about trying to keep a worst case out of your mind, and being happily relieved.
But the old man forgot that he can't see well at night. Getting old sucks. So many things don't work as well as they once did.
I am sure he did not forget, he just figured he would be fine. Most men refuse to acknowledge when they start to lose the abilities they had in their younger days. I realize that I cannot run down the side of a mountain anymore, jumping over deadfall, trying to cut elk off. Today with bum knees, many things are hard to accept, that used to be easy.
One thing to help your vision as you age is the Bausch & Lomb PreserVision product which contains good amounts of Lutein and is available at Costco. When my father was in his late 80's he was developing Dry Macular Degeneration and his ophthalmologist could offer nothing but a chart t look at and monitor the decline. His optometrist asked if he was taking any supplements and my dad told him he wasn't. The optometrist suggested B&L Occuvite, an earlier lutein product, and it healed his DMD and allowed him to drive until a minor stroke at 97 ended his driving. He was living and driving the mountain roads near and in Yosemite because he lived near the park.
I'm 72 and taking the PreserVision myself. My night vision is still excellent.
Thank you and love y’all. Also thanks for teaching me how to break a tire bead on the side of the road. New truck for me.
This was amazing. Matt you are literally living my dream right now. If you ever want a division of winder towing in salt lake, please lets talk.
