As mad as a cut snake Matt, top work mate.
So what you're saying is, we all need a mad bugger like you on each trip to jump in the drink to check the depth
Lol you got it. 🤪🤪🤪
Lake Havasu here, your older contents great!! 👍👍. Way you can re list them to get them out again as new?
Cheers from Az. USA
There’s an idea. Lol
MadMatt! Ya'll are braver than me. I watched Crocodile Dundee, I know what lives in those big mud holes, and you don't have a big Dundee knife to fight 'em off. Keep up the great videos, I'm learning lots from your adventures.
Ha ha ha. Thanks mate
Great job my kind of 4 wheeling
Mad matt... Yeah mad right enough... But good serious video and good instruction.
Alright Matt, you are definitely having a good time out there, but that is something I would not do and the reason being I would just not get back in my rig when I was wet and covered with mud. For some reason I only like the mud on the outside. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Hey James. Truth be told I don't do it very often either but If I had to cross said puddle and the risk was real that i could get stuck I would get in because if I do get stuck I'm in anyway. Then I have the mud right through the car and that's not cool and may cost big money if I damage items. But I do agree and the video was to make a point of not driving in blindly.
@@MadMatt4WD Great point Matt. Get yourself muddy rather than entire interior of the car. An easy choice to make. I learnt the hard the way that measuring with a stick from the side sometimes just doesn't cut the mustard.
you are crazy dude! thumbs up for your effort!
Certified LOL
Now that’s a guy committed to making a great video 😂
Lol. I can but try.
Nice video. I never got stuck in mud when this much of water involved. But deep mud without water will always very slippery. So I came to a conclusion all those sticky mud will washed away by the water and giving the tyres better grip. + you can use your tyres like a blender to wash away the mud from the surface.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I think your correct that the tyres will be cleaner and more effective with more water present. Well said. At the end of the day I prefer to avoid mud.
@@MadMatt4WD yep i found this out driving a polaris quad throw a silted dam. no problem with 6 inches of water tried the same thing few months later when it was empty bogged straight away
Fun video! 👍
Realy useful tips
Thank you
Great video!!
Great lesson!
Thanks!!!!
Glad you liked it!
In Canada, used this technique takes you straight to hypothermia. Hehehe but... It is necessary for everyone's safety! Thanks!
Lol brrrr
Awesome
Thabks
good on ya matty keep them vids comin
Will do mate :)
Ha ! Love the videos mate!
You certainly are mad, Matt. 😉 Thanks for the enteraining video. Hopefully there will be a chicken route around that mud hole. 😎
Yeah there is.
Just a question, when you jump into mud holes like that have you ever run into a crock doing that?
No but a crock ran into me and got the fright of its life.
@@MadMatt4WD I'll bet!
Yeah Narr I’ll just try my luck although the stick idea is a good one haha
lol wimp
Pak dhe Mad pancen TOP....:)
hahaha funniest thing I've ever seen legend
Crikey mate, how do ya explain the muddy undies to the missus?
😂😂😂😂
MaddMatt is a boss
I'm the bog hole boss LOL. thanks mate :)
That's so good stuff, 3rd straight video of yours I watched. Thanks for uploading the video and watch that step. Haha ( by the way new sub)
Thanks mate.
ha! keep up the great work (Y)
I normally walk with the stick and poke it around in front of me, just in case there is a gator in there I don’t end up stepping on it.
Sounds fair :) !
Dis nigu is crazy! Most important thing is to have fun like him
They don't call you made Matt for nothing. Good entertainment
LOL thanks mate. Can't be boring.
What’s the best gear to use when crossing bog holes?
1st gear. Don’t go too fast.
Step 1: see if you can talk anyone else to jump in.
LOL good tip
Can you do a 2020 version please 🤣
I tried on the long weekend.
What gear should you be in for water crossings? Low range?
Hi Damien yes low range and usually 1st for a deep crossing and maybe second is it's a shallow crossing with a firm surface. There's no need to go too fast in water. As long as you create the bow wave and keep the engine air intake out of the water. watch my video on how to cross a river.
+MadMatt 4WD thanks Matt! Good to know
Haha! thanks for the laugh
My pleasure
Ummm...Hey Mate. Try that in one of our mudholes here in Canada in March. Break the ice first OK?
How to cross a mudhole in Canada? Let a buddy go first.
Ha Ha Steve Blair I might be Mad but I'm not stupid. I honestly don't know how people can get into freezing water. Mind you that day was around 7deg with the wind chill so it wasn't all that warm. Thanks for the comments Steve.
That's a big log. When I was young I watched a Lada fly through a puddle and the thing stopped so fast in the middle of that puddle I'm sure it stood on it's nose for a sec or 2, anyway when he got pulled out they found a log like yours sitting in the bottom of the puddle. Not sure how much damage he copped but he couldn't drive it afterwards.
Wow that's crazy.
4 high, or 4 low?
4low 1st or second gear.
Matt when you pulled the log up out of the muddy water I thought it was a Rodeo gear box (sorry Rodeo owners)
Back in Arkansas we just use the rev limiter 😂
Lol so much I could say but I’ll refrain. 😂😂
Nah your good. We got that "get er done" attitude towards most things. Also another popular phrase is "let er eat" that means hold the accelerator to the floor. And the famous last words. "Hey ya'll watch this" lol. I grew up watching dukes of hazard so that's where I learned to drive. I've only had a 4x4 for the last year but my skills for that type of driving gave me a huge heads up on the 4x4 stuff. I have a 2000 jeep cherokee, it's been down for a few months coz the piston skirt broke and it was too worn out to rebuild. I just ordered a 4.7l stroker engine and it's almost delivery time. I'm dying without my trail time, I've never enjoyed driving anything I've owned this much so it's safe to say I'm hooked
@@autotek7930 that’s awesome. We have a saying. Hold my beer. This is just before it all goes bad lol. I’d be interested to own a jeep one day.
Wheres the crocs!
When I got in there was only one :)
Real Off Roader's secret footage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 only the “special” people get access.
Love common sense--get out of the truck and check it out, same on foot really. On foot, probe with a pole--find out what you got before you put your foot there. Same with the truck. But go slow! No reason to haul ass, just take your time, feel around and be sure you got what you need to cross. Be mindful of sinkholes, they do exist and it can be dangerous. Keep that pole firm in your hands and go slow
Yes indeed.
hence the acronym: G.O.A.L. which stands for, get out and look! as for the log...a flat tire full of mud is no fun to fix either.
I’d not heard that acronym before. Nice. I should do more of it. Lol
@@MadMatt4WD like the content! 👍I'm watching seek adventure doing his bury the max trax sand winch recovery, I like that too, better than wrecking the value stem on the spare tire...
Lol!!! Insane!
i was hoping for a 50 yo crocodile in that pond
So was i. Would have been a real good video then. 😂
Hope your watch is waterproof.
😂
But sometimes we cannot walk it , like here at Twin Falls crossing Kakadu National Park, Croc territory - infested waterway .
This is me, GU PATROL AUTO 6cyl running LPG - no snorkle

Sorry footage is really old, i went thru this 4 times that day !
How half arsed, nos norkel & goggles? Soft!
Fair point. Coach me please LOL. You'll like this one then. ua-cam.com/video/T762I3vmbG4/v-deo.html
Is this a joke?
gussiboi no, in as much you really should check out a mud hole before you cross it and follow the advice I provide in the video. But i do make it a lot of fun in the way I demonstrate the points.
