Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
I think this recovery caused my winch line to break in this video. Too much use! ua-cam.com/video/x_1e0sUyH5U/v-deo.html
Hey Matt! After you talked about your first viral video and how people might like your stuff it made me want to share this with you. My Grandfather used to watch your content everyday! He loved your tenacity and kindness to others. One night when he was a little delusional he told me he was ready for bed because in the morning we were going to go on a recovery mission with Matt! He passed away about 2 weeks ago but I have fond memories watching your recoveries with him. Keep up the good work!
GOD bless you dear. I'm sorry for your loss, but what great memories to remember ❤️
Thank you for sharing!
thanks for telling us
That's awesome!
11:25 “we have put some pressure on this”
“Think you’ll break the line again?”
“Yes”
*continues to set the line up*
What a guy man no care for the equipment just trying to help a brother out.
I love it ❤
Send me a message with the number above I have something for you
Imagine being stuck in the middle of nowhere and randomly seeing Matt and the Morvair appear out of nowhere!!
I WOULD GO BUY A LOTTO TICKET
"I'm not a real religious man, but if I were in that situation and the Morvair rounded a boulder in the river I would be throwing some more coin in the collection plate on Sunday. The Jeep has already been baptized, it was just time for it to be pulled out of the water".
... ♫♪ ♫♪ ♫ Hallelujah 🍾🌟✨✴🎸📯🎉
Yeah those are some slim odds!!
@@ernestpaul2484 I had the same thoughts.
"This is not a paid promotion" lol thanks Matt. Sorry the line broke. Thats the great thing about the Freedom Winch Line for sure... no metal involved so when something like that happens theres no flying metal components! I wonder what that guy was even doing over there. Didn't look like that went anywhere even if he did get across.
Hey there, when Matt was talking about George as a judge, he said George wasn't from anywhere. I thought he was with you guys, no?
Hats off to Peanut for allowing you to do your human things while she plans her next running path.
Peanut is one of the happiest dogs on earth.
😂
The winch line broke and instead of the expected reaction like “s&@$”, Matt sounds delighted and says “that’s a great example of a synthetic winch line”. He was not even phased by what happened. He has certainly been there and done that. Can’t stop binge watching these videos!
I bet the video people can edit out the 4 letter words, and insert other friendly sound bites, to make it look like another day in the dirt.
Jamie is the best, 30 years of self-employment, and my wife has never come along once. I know you appreciate her Matt, it shows.
Let her
Ask her to, I bet she doesn’t even know it’s something you’d want.
Total strangers on UA-cam giving you marital advice, after 30 years of marriage 🤣
You should ask her if you'd really like her to come along. Even if it's just once.
@@Pk1998AMG I feel it’s more of a fact than a problem?
Matt, Your FYI about cable safety instantly brings back a horrific memory of mine when I was 13-14 years old. My buddy lived next to a house/office on main street. It also happened to be where my mother worked for a doctor as a receptionist back in the 60's.
The doctor was renovating the lot and office and a five foot plus wide oak tree had to be removed along with a portion of the root ball for drainage and sewer. The tree was topped and an eighteen foot trunk remained. A excavator was used to dig abound the tree and for whatever reason an enormous root ball was left on one side of the tree, I'd say about five tons. A crew was brought in to rig a block and tackle system using two large bulldozers and a big truck rolling up the slack. The tree was almost laying on the ground with many roots still restraining the trunk and the huge root ball was standing vertically at about seventy five degrees. There was a clutch failure on one of the dozers and the big rig could not hold back the weight with just the one working bulldozer. The construction manager was just stepping over the cable to thank one of the crew members when the tree went up like a trebuchet.
It sucked out steel cable and when it snapped we heard a load crack from the safety of the backyard next door. We watch what we thought were three bodies tossed twenty feet into the air like rag dolls. Long story short it was two men. One teenage worker and Maynard who was now missing one leg up to his armpit. Don't know if I should of shared this, however, lessons on towing, pulling or using snatch straps and what kinetic energy can do is nothing to ignore.
@The Hemwick Hag Who's your comment directed at?
Thanks for sharing that.
I remember losing a mechanic friend to a split rim tire while standing on it.
It was my first real lesson about stored energy and complacency.
That and multiple incursions before Al-Qaede and after being renamed Taliban.
Those events helped form my seriously dark sense of humor that most people disregard as hateful/waycist. Feelings...
Easier to just not talk and be considered anti-social than misunderstood.
"3 people tossed 20ft into the air", "lost his leg up too his armpit". Yeah sure.
Liars like to add a lot of unnecessary details to their story to make it sound convincing.
@@_Mr.Black_: Think what you want Mr. Black, you weren’t there. The man who was split from his growing to his armpit was named Maynard VanderWal , Georgetown township, MI. PS: I’m betting you’re a negative person in general.
@@timweidner3335 wow you gave me an unverifiable name you made up. More unnecessary details. I don't think I'm a negative person, but I am very skeptical.
I worked in the oilfield for a little while. Watching the winch truck drivers rig up and take down a rotary drilling rig is a sight to see. Many of these trucks weigh 60 thousand pounds and are capable of pulling 100k plus loads. One day I was in my truck about 50 yards away and one of the other trucks primary winch cable (60 thousand pound rated) broke. There was probably 30 yards of the line played out, and it whipped around like a giant dying snake for a few seconds. The amount of energy it was releasing was mind boggling. There was a roughneck standing in the middle of all this and the cable whipped all around him but never touched him. He's alive today from the merest whim of fate.
It's even more fun when the cable comes thru the rear window into the cab...just saying...
@@tomsisk6811 One of my husband's best friends was killed this way in the oilfield.
Kim,sorry to hear that, I only made that comment because it's happened to me. Was fortunate no major injuries...
@@kimbarton3222 Sorry to hear that as well. The oilfield is a dangerous place and even though it's gotten better, it's still not as safe as it should be. The men and women who work in the oilfield don't get the credit they deserve.
It is dangerous. The guy who got killed was an older, experienced driver. He simply forgot to disengage his winch before driving off, and had nothing over his back window to protect it. He left a wife and 10 kids (who are all grown now).
The Hyundai Video was my first video. It got recommended to me one day and I've seen every video since.
I stayed for your calm approach to problem solving and the build videos of all your rigs.
I'm very excited about the Off-Road-Wrecker!
Matt and Jamie, the two of you are the perfect couple. You both have the customers safety at heart and in this video you accomplished three recoveries. The guys in the Jeep would have been out there for a long time if not for both of you.
The father with the motorcycles couldn't have found a better recovery team. You stayed with him through finding two motorcycles and hauling them out.
Super team forever in Matt's off road recovery.
Love it when we see Peanut leading the way!! She is a great team member- Always loyal, never complains, eager to help, obeys orders, loves her owner and works only for food and love 💕 Couldn’t ask for anything more! 🐶❤
Peanut took one look at that creek......Usually, the dogs are happy to jump in the water...
@@bobsullivan5714 Definitely would not want to know what the return home ride smelled like!! Whew😝
She can't drive though 😁
That was really kind of you guys to help those guys in the jeep. You totally saved their bacon. It's refreshing to see someone who has become famous not let it go to their head. The fact that you're still out there on the jobs getting it done, when you could probably make more money if you were using your fame elsewhere, speaks volumes of you. I've been watching your content for a long time and keep doing so because of this. ✋*respect*
Let's go from being stuck in the ice to being stuck in a mud hole! That was something else. Great recoveries
Man i freaking hate holes of mud.
Matt's the type of man, where you praise his parents without even having met them, because what gems they must've been to raise a guy like this.
Matt as a loyal subscriber I am glad you started your channel. Because of your channel I found the other amazing channels and now I am part of an incredible UA-cam community family on here.
I have never seen a jeep sink that much before especially nose first. That guy was lucky you guys were out there and could get him out
You are truly an expert with recoveries. The tenacity shown in helping out a stranger speaks volumes about your character.
The customers shouldn't be allowed out. I'm rarely on a trail that easy with my dirt bike
loved seeing how you reworked the line to hold yourself while pulling that jeep from the jaws of death😊
Matt should have measured the Morrvair's length before and after pulling that Jeep out...probably gained a couple inches from all the energy expended to get 'em out.
You are the Master Tower. Your knowledge about towing is priceless! I am a 69 yr old young lady and ready for fulltime in my Jeep Rusty, which will get his winch before the summer. I appreciate how much I have learned from Matt about towing and sketchy situations. I am from Texas and hope one day swinging by your shop!!. Great team you have there including your best freinds. I love your 🐕 specially Peanuts...God bless you all.
Always enjoy these rescues. Note to Editor: Watching these videos and then notice words popping up at the bottom. By the time I look down, the words are gone. Please keep them up for a few more seconds for us slow readers. :)
Agree, they are up to briefly, and I'm not a slow reader, but the trick here is to stop the player (space bar), hit left arrow on keyboard to back up if need be, read the text, then hit the space bar again and resume. Repeat as needed. That is, assuming you are on a desktop/laptop. :-)
@@johnhpalmer6098 Thank you! That is a great tip. I was using my mouse, but this is much easier.
Thank You Matt for spreading the message of staying on the trail! I commend your tact in handling that but still having the integrity to bring it up and not let it go unsaid👍👍
Matt it's good to see Jamie on recoverys with you. What turned out to just be a load and go turned into an amazing recovery. I like how you talk out the how to's of winching folks out
You do realize that Jamie goes on recovery it's all the time and she is a very frequent face on this channel. I'm pretty sure she was in last 2 videos helping with recovery is one of them was her doing the recovery with Lizzy and Matt road in the back. maybe your new
Thanks for saving our buddy from being swallowed whole by the mud, or from the mud hole…. You know, you know what I mean. I’d follow that crazy guy almost anywhere, it’s dry. Maybe I already have, I won’t confirm nor deny. Great wheeler, just as great at spotting. There are those that have been stuck and are going to get stuck, eventually. We want to see you sporting your new shirt RD!
Wow, Peanut is a such good dog! She(?) moves into the triangle, Matt calls her and she comes right back…
You're a legend Matt, to many moto riders don't know how to de drown there bike's or carry tools! Love your channel , thanks from Australia! 🇦🇺
That was my first thought.
Hopefully that fella will at least put a spark plug wrench, spare tube and some evers in his kit from now on
You all are the Best !! When I need a solid dose of decent folk with good hearts I come here. Of course the recoveries are awesome and in watching your channel I've learned a lot of " what not to do " as a traveler on sand/dirt tracks in the middle of what looks to be nowhere. Thanks for all you do for those stuck in the wilderness ~
Absolutely love seeing the husband and wife team at it doing the recoveries! Can't wait for the next video!
Peanut is such a good dog. Everytime Matt shows her attention it makes me smile. She just wants to be part of everything.
i was surprised she came back mid stride right when he called! my dog is 13 and i have to tell her at least 11 times🤣🤣🤣
And everyone slept at home that night with their vehicles safely stabled!!!! What a heartwarming, exciting, entertaining, AND informative trip you let us join you on!
Been amazing to see this channel grow, I remember the old school days of matt coming out on record and saying how great it was to produce and edit these films on iphone and how he couldn't imagine this content being filmed any other way, back in the day of 3 bananas, and no front privacy gates, a tiny office and a legendary Ed now known as Mythic Ed. Back in the day of no one really knowing how to pronounce Winder Towing. Keep up the great work, excited to see the Off- Road Wrecker in action.
😊
The best part is that Matt still doesn't realize how COOL his channel has become.....
The wife and kids and crew.....and even the dogs.... have created a huge bundle of charisma.
Larry the Cable Guy must have heard of Matt's Offroad Recovery when he came up with Git-R-Done!
Awesome video. Great the way the wife helps and supports on these runs. Nice teamwork.
So glad you stuck with the videos Matt!! Your channel is my 3 year old sons favorite thing to watch on tv. He doesn’t go a day without asking to see the “Matt’s trucks” lol thank you
Peanut looks just like my first dog 😢😊
Makes me happy every time.
Remember the good times, everyone.
yep ! that pup doesnt care whats stuck as long as there is running and possibly swimming involved
Outstanding rescue(s), the bike, easy-peasy, the Jeep, that was a monster effort. Great camera-work , and commentary, by Jaymie!
Not just up to the axels in mud, but the engine as well! 😲😲😲 Great work there Matt. 👍
When Matt said he's going to play game... I thought he was going to we're going to try get all the way
to the morticycle without running out of gas 🤣
Thx Matt and Jamie for an informative and entertaining video of your three peat in cold wet conditions. BITD I remember having ohv outings with my daughter riding infamous double black diamond (Snowy Mtg Trail) at Gorman in the snow and ice, It was a day to remember before the USFS closed the trails during inclement weather. Happy wheelin at KOH.
I love seeing the scenery in your videos. Peanut looked like she was having an amazing day getting out for a good run. Its amazing how Matt can handle the cold!
I LOLed at "you're tapped out though right?" Matt-"no" lol. So nonchalant haha. He hasn't even really tried just yet lol
You can tell how good a person is by how a dog acts around them... It is obvious that Peanut loves Matt tremendously.
Blondie loved Hitler.
For the rider with little experience the trail certainly is difficult...for truly experienced offroad riders it's no big deal. For those of us from the east, we wish we had riding trails that open. It's great to see families out sharing the experience.
Great recovery on that Jeep. And yes stay on the trails. I don't recall ever seeing you break a winch line on one of your video's in the several years I've been watching. Crazy amount of energy needed to get that jeep out. Great Job to Matt and Jaymie.
I finally figured out why I love watching you guys??? This is the AMERICA I grew up in out in the west. Pre-cell days; dad always had shovel, rope, jumper cables in car. If we happened across someone stuck, stranded, no question stopping & helping, or at-least a ride down the road to some small town where they could use payphone. MONTANA for those who don't realize why we love our state!
amen
The double snatch block pulling both directions winch set-up was awesome. I will most definitely keep that Jeep recovery in my memory banks..that was a bunch pulling power coming from a single winch.
Get 70% 3m polarized window and windshield tint all around. Will help with seeing in the rivers for rocks, heat in sand hallow, protect your dash, and would still look clear. It would also keep the glass a bit more intact if a rock hits it; helps keep the trails clean of glass.
MATT!!! DON'T WORRY ABOUT THOSE FOLKS!!! They tune in one time and want to tell you how to run your business. The folks that watch your channel know that you know better and it's why we watch.
Truly amazing how Matt can accomplish the impossible on a daily basis, I’d have trouble just getting to these destinations, but Matt hauls a trailer and does multiple recoveries while doing so, wow.
I love how he never brags about it and are always humble concerning the customers mistakes. But yes this is the difference between being on holiday and having it as a day job. His skills are those from someone that's out there in the muds 300 days a year....
How does this work? You're on a recovery and BAM you come up on another recovery. Do you tell the first recovery, "It's going to be a little longer on your recovery and do you give a discount to the first because of the delay? I know, in a perfect world everyone says help one another, but unfortunately this doesn't happen as much as it should. This is complicated and it would be nice to see a video on Matt's way to a perfect world. Jamie, your face showed the severity of the cold temperatures. I wonder if the first guy (motorcycle dude) knew just how lucky he was to ride in the Morrvair with Jamie and Matt. What a treat. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice recoveries. It’s always good when Jamie is along to brighten up the video.
Peanut running the trails brings a big smile to my face. Still waiting for Peanut cam !
I thought Jamie had improvised some socks for her hands and then thought, no, she's too together for that. Backed it up and saw they were gloves.
I am really addicted to this channel. What a content they have. Matt and team are such a amazing people.hatts of to there efforts.
I was like that 3 months ago lol
To me, addiction is an understatement...
Same man, Its the first sub I click on every morning, Well Matt and mighty jingles.
The Golden Nugget restoration got me hooked on MORR and Robby Layton.
And now, Rudy's Adventure and Design, too.
Hi Matt, thoroughly enjoyed this video, just like all your other ones :). Just a small, humble comment from a veteran Engineer ... winch lines are under TENSION, not pressure. Pressure is inside tires, gas shocks, bottle jacks and other pressurized devices. Also appreciated your 'Take-2 for Safety' on how to position humans outside the 'Triangle of Death'. One undesirable outcome of a snapped cable could also be limb amputation, and it happens crazy fast :(.
Very interesting, educational and entertaining. There seems to be a steady stream of novice and experienced trail breakers challenging the odds and seeking new adventures in the rugged west. Great job editing all the little bits of footage into an intriguing story.
Matt snapping the winch line, then just tying what's left back together to try and finish the recovery is peak determination! And cranking the Jeep to get some power steering was a great idea as well!
It really was, and the jeep only starting when on solid ground made me laugh, what a joke lol
That was one heck of a recovery. I particularly liked tying a snatch block back to the Morrvair in order to both ~double the pull force and stop the Morrvair from being dragged.
I love that you included the bit of a new call coming in. I know it’s nothing special for you, but in all of the videos I’ve watched from you, I haven’t really seen the actual moment of you getting a call. Can’t wait to see the Heavy Wrecker in action!
6:40 when the odds of anyone coming by is 1/1000 yet, the one that does, just happens to be an amazing recovery guy....
You smile like them !!
1 in 10 million
That dogs really cool the way it runs along the trail with you guys - even no hesitation on the water crossings.
Send me a message with the number above I have something for you
I was actually surprised the Morvair was getting through that trail with a trailer. I am very impressed!
Hi Matt, for dirtbike rescue jobs - have you considered using receiver-mount motorcycle carrier? It eliminates the need of bringing trailer to routes like you filmed here. Just google it out what's that , you might like the idea.
I like the info about the trails. Could you talk about them more when you are on the trail? Good info
I used to live in the area and went off roading a lot. The trail conditions are always changing due mostly to weather so it is hard to say with certainty what the trail conditions will be like. Some places you can drive a car down with no problem and come out to the same trail a month later and wish you had a 4X4. But I recommend a 4X4 or a dune buggy type of vehicle. I would say "sand" and "clayish mud" is the biggest obstacles.
Matt you and your crew are the real deal of roadside recovery! If I was ever stuck in your area I would feel safe and assured if I knew you and your crew were there to help me! Til next time take care and stay safe...
Notice how Matt never tells Jamie to lock the hubs 😂
Smart man.
🤣
"You need some help?
Stay on the trail."
Funny/Nice way of saying you got what you were looking for.
Matt super reserved and humble enough to remember all of us have incredibly dumb ideas.
So lucky he didn't't suck water with that stock air cleaner.
Again, Matt and his Recovery family (and the extended family) make Yuogoogletube safe and fun to watch.
As usual Matt makes the people creating all sorts of chaos feel like its no big deal and just goes about fixing their problems. The young man whose bike broke down looked pretty embarassed. Congratulating him on tackling such a difficult trail must have made him feel a whole lot better about his tough day.
It's crazy how actually not long ago the Tucson video was, I remember watching it as a fresh upload and it feels like yesterday. Y'all have had tremendous growth over such a short amount of time.
I'm excited to see the heavy wrecker moving under its own power, doing recoveries, and making 1st place! 😁
You guys do some wonderful work.
Looking forward to seeing the wrecker in action. Nice recovery. Seeing how that winch line broke definitely looks a lot less dangerous than a wire rope or chain.
I like this one beginning with 'my driving skills were off today'...then the winch line snaps! Just one of those days, I liked to see you take the snap in stride and just get the job done, that's perseverance to the max!
Watching these videos of you and Rory I'm realizing Utah's mud does not play! Almost quicksand levels the way it sucks a vehicle in- the longer it's in the worse it gets. Hearing and seeing that winch break was scary, but it was tame compared to a chain snapping an flying through the air. Believe me you never forget that sound. Great recovery and great attitude of everyone involved. Right place at the right time- a knight in a muddy Morvair. Great video, thank you Jamie for braving that sharp wind to get the action. Stay safe and GOD bless
I'm visiting Utah right now, the sand and mud is so unique to anywhere else I have off-roaded.
@@TouchofDepth Have a safe, great time! Hoping you make many great memories, and NOT meet Matt and crew under difficult circumstances. 😊
What you explained is exactly why fiber core steel lines exist. Best of both worlds for a wrecker.
Such a marvelous landscape and the nature is just great, you're so lucky to live in Utah
Its crazy how earth is just one big giant movie set space ship
20:28 Hahahahaha! I did not see that one coming.... Nicely done!
You have great knowledge in the recovery industry matt,that was awesome how you handled the jeep.👍
I am a stone sculptor and in school they teach us to use synthetic or best natural fiber rope for moving rocks, it not only slip less and grab the rock but also you can see when it start to break. In the case of catastrophic failure it tear with quite amount of unraveling, by that it move slower and have less mass. So if it hit you its not more painful as a slap.
Metal wire will snap abruptly, tent to fly more and even a light hit can tear clothing and cut skin.
Between your channel, Rory’s, and Paul’s, I’ve learned some good recovery tips and tricks, along with some safety, as well as trail repair ideas and techniques that I can use on my own Jeep should I become stuck, stranded, or break something, or need to help someone else out👍. Not to mention learning about limitations and capabilities of my own Jeep and overall trail driving. I’d rather say,,, “I’m glad I drove around that😁”, instead of,,, “Well that didn’t work😖😒”.
I don’t think there’s anyone that dislikes Matt and his team, but I like him even more because of how much he loves his dogs.
Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👍👀
morr'nin sweetie!
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery Always a 2 thumbs ups video
Watch the video below to see how the process of making the first version works in a few of these 😮😂
You should do a driver POV, it would be really cool. I also love your videos; I tune in every day to see them!
I love Peanut's look back: "Come on Mom and Dad, I am waiting for you!" 4:26 and 4:34 🥰
Peanut always guides them in. I love that little dog. Soooo smart. I love the recoveries but honestly all the dogs make me happy to get to watch them.
People who infantilize pets are gross.
Its a good thing you have these lines. I’ve seen steel cables take out windows! Great stuff guys!
Just a thought: you mentioned that it would help if those who could, please use their off road rig to get to the wrecker competitions. Could you post a short video showing what to expect do we know if our rig is capable (and our skills) of navigating that route? Thanks!!
Good thought, maybe they could add that to the website. Of course, there will probably be free off road recovery available at the event 😉
great work Matt, loved Jamies comment when going past the tree of death, oh my. that must have been steep to make her say that, well done on helping people out
I like how interactive you are that you take time to explain why you're doing what and how. I've learned a lot and I hope to learn more. You're teaming you are 👍
Great way to turn a simple bike retrieval into a excellent recovery. I'm also glad you've changed your mind about wenches and you have been putting yours to good use lately.
I love this channel and everyone associated with it, that's it, have a good one :)
Matt with the lovely Mrs. are the best. You're never stuck alone when someone you love is with you.
Send me a message with the number above I have something for you
Good to see you Matt and Jamie, Jamie always gives a good weather update! Hey Peanut! 👋🏼
I worked in a factory making pre stressed concrete bridge girders. Steel cables were imbedded in those girders and were pulled w/ a force of 5,000 lbs of tension. Occasionally those cables break loose & one time a cable went through a guys head. Those steel cables are very dangerous.
Whatever happened to the Suzuki samurai Jamie bought for Matt when the heavy wrecker is done is that the next project ?
Kudos to ED. See what he started! What a guy. Great videos.... a fan!
Matt cracks me up wearing the exact same thing in the middle of winter and the middle of summer.
Yes funny he thinks he's got special powers, his stupidity just cracks me up. lol
Hey Matt and crew, have you considered pros/cons to having on hand something like a heavy duty hitch carrier for a local single bike recovery situation like this? Or adding a pickup truck to the fleet at some point? Perhaps nicer than having to pull a trailer in and out. (I suppose for longer range jobs you're already bringing the trailer behind a road truck with the Morrvair on it, but still could be preferable to pulling a trailer on trails)
Is there a place on the back of the big off-road wrecker where you could use the boom arm to lift a motorcycle and drop it onto a rack? (I've seen some rack setups that put the front tire of a moto over the rear tire of the truck, with the rear moto tire a little lower kind of behind the truck tire... maybe could make it a modular/detachable thing if not a permanent fixture? not sure how many bike recoveries you do to justify going out of your way, but never hurts to have more options - in this scenario, it would've enabled you to throw on a bike or two and also pull that Jeep out if it hadn't started, multiply your potential jobs/trip could work out nicely on occasion:) Or just use a hitch receiver in the front or back to mount a motorcycle carrier.
If interesting to you LMK, I've had some prototype ideas in mind to add a couple mounting points to my rear bumper to bolster a motorcycle carrier for offroad conditions. :)
As a cold water surfer, I can attest to the fact that a lucky few hardly feel the coldest cold, the rest of us suffer!!
Don't neglect dwelling on the scenery in these videos. Beautiful sights.
Interesting and educational episode Matt and Jaymie! Looking forward to seeing some shakedown action on the WLORW!
I'd like to give Peanut some props on this one.
Good job Peanut!!!!
Never a boring day in the life of Matt & his recovery’s . Giving everyone a t shirt is the best marketing strategy you can have . I freakn love it ! I had to buy mine , but this summer I’ll head up there & probably get stuck in that poof sand .
Good MORRning everyone!
