      I mean if you dont have a winch or some buddies. Then you could be. This sentiment is mostly for western sandy mud. Out east we use these board paired with rocks to make clearance for axels and stuff. Not exactly a mud saving device for us just to get through without breaking crap.

      So glad to hear him say that. I giggle every time I see a pavement princess Wrangler festooned with red tow hooks, a snorkel (and carpeting) and no winch with plastic traction mats mounted prominently on the outside. They are meant for sand and best in dry sand. Try using them when they are wet and it's like they are dipped in WD40. Totally useless.

    I spent almost 25 years working in the oil field and I have had locations that were made out of that mud, so I know exactly what you’re dealing with and how heavy your boots will be and how easy it will be to end up with more than just your boots covered in mud. Between the suction and the slipping if you’re not careful, you’ll end up, covered in mud to your shoulders. I certainly don’t miss those days.

    Here's yet another fact you'll probably find very boring: The mud is likely bentonite. Like Matt said, it washed down from the surrounding hills. Highly absorbent, it's great for sealing the bottoms and inner faces of dams as it doesn't allow moisture to flow through it. Also, when we drill holes in the Earth below the water table, a slurry of bentonite is used to seal the inside of the boring to prevent collapse allowing us to obtain soil samples below the water line. Vernal pools are smaller versions of what you're in here. I've had a 16,000 lb. drill rig stuck a couple times. It is nasty, nasty stuff. A full day of bull dozing, winch lines, and struggling got it out. Where were you when I needed you? lol (It was in the early '80s)

    • @user-wd8mn8sf1j
      @user-wd8mn8sf1j 8 місяців тому +11

      Bentonite has great healing properties. It's absorptive property assists the elimination of difficult-to-release toxins. Mud baths, facials, poultices, and even taken internally (in very small amounts, with deactivated charcoal and a laxative) to detox the alimentary canal/intestine.

    • @rodx5571
      @rodx5571 7 місяців тому +8

      I used to be in the oil field in the 90's, Bentonite, Trade name WYOBEN (wyoming bentonite) was the base gel for all water based mud (drilling fluid). We would make gel water, and add some sort of caustic, sometime sodium hydroxide, sometimes potassium hydroxide to expand the gel. Then add weight material. sodium , Barium sulfate, hematite or whatever was called for. Point is, yeah thats thick, sticky stuff.

    @stupidgenius9738 8 місяців тому +230

    SUGGESTION: if you want to prolong the winch line life, pressure wash the most wearing parts(first few meters, also those little loop thingies) after it gets pretty dirty or even muddy. The tests were made on climbing ropes, making two equally used ropes dirty, and then washing one of them- both lines would enter repeatable cycles of simulated use. The rope, which was cleaned before the test, surprisingly lasted more than double the number of cycles of the dirty rope. The idea behind it, lots of accumulated dirt starts to behave like sandpaper not only on the surface when rubbing against something but also inside between the stretching and bending strands.

    • @lyfandeth
      @lyfandeth 8 місяців тому +26

      Same thing all the lines on a sailboat. Very similar to static climbing ropes, but constantly getting salt water spray/mist if you are coastal. The salt grains are perfect little buzzsaws that cut the internal fibers. Washing them out saves lots of pricey "rope".

      True story. We used to try to clean and flex our dynamic ropes in the fire dept when they got dirty. You can never get 100% but you are guaranteed to get a lot of dirt in between the strands and the Kern if you are doing cliff rescues and recoveries.

    • @anteshell
      @anteshell 8 місяців тому +3

      @@lyfandeth That's kind of obvious on mud, but never actually thought salt would have the same effect. I think it's because the salt gets crystallized only when the water evaporates from the ropes, so you don't really see the salt depositing in there. Kind of "out of sight, out of mind" situation.
      On that note, is there anything to let you know when the ropes should be washed, or is it just something you intuitively learn along the way? That is supposing you don't wash them after every sail.

    Hey Matt! You'll definitely want to apply some leather conditioner to your boots after you wash them, and wash them with Saddle Soap! The best method I've found once boots once my boots get muddy (granted, not with Utah clay, but with Cascades clay), is to use Saddle Soap and a brush small enough to swirl inside the tin -- just like lathering up for a shave! After you apply the lather (and really scrub with this stuff), wipe it off with a clean dry towel (and repeat if necessary). Let the boots dry for 10 to 20 minutes, then apply some leather conditioner, boot cream, or whatever will rehydrate the leather, so that it doesn't crack. Love watching you guys!

    I love that first rescue. I know Matt hates mud as he says it just about every mud rescue Team MORR has. Here in SoCal we yearn for soft sticky mud. We love to play in mud. We’ve played in red clay and it is very sticky. We spray WD40 on the undercarriage prior to playing in the mud at times when we remember to keep suspension as clean as possible. We have seen axles, and bodies ripped from the chassis in heavy mud. When we have a say so, we opt for the winch instead but some insist on dead pulling a stuck truck. Parts fly and give everyone a show. Anyhow, great recoveries and thanks for sharing as always.

    Speaking of Utah clay, that stuff is great for throwing pots. My wife is Western Shoshone and when visiting family down in that country she fills my rig with about a ton of clay, fires it in small thin blocks and grids it up fine and ads water and presto! She says its some of the best clay in the world. I just showed her this video and I guess we're heading to your part of the world next spring. I want to stop in and meet Ed.

      You say you never understand why anyone heads for mud and then you give the reason. Mud is endless fun. In that moment that's all that matters. There may be some regrets later but those don't matter or stop you from doing it again because it was fun.

    I’ve been in scenarios where there is no moving (deep snow, the dry granular stuff that doesn’t stick to anything) but you can get on top of traction boards and creep ahead 2ft at a time. It took forever and with a second vehicle or a winch you could move way quicker, but you could use traction boards repeatedly to get out.
    Matt’s traction board idea is probably true in sand and mud and rocks though.

  • @normstephens8354
    @normstephens8354 8 місяців тому +4

    There are different types of clay for sure, but largely the clay deposits are composed of a mixture sand, silt, and clay. The more clay you have and the stickier it becomes. Silt deposits can look a lot like clay and will contain some clay, but will not be as sticky as a clay deposit. Gray clays can contain more organic matter, but you don't see that in red clays. The red color indicates oxidation and that process burns off the organic matter. There is a big difference in what contains 35% clay and what contains 80% clay! I'd say that clay deposit just has more clay in it! Somewhere there is an engineering report for the dam that details the clay content.

    • @normstephens8354

      Yes ... I saw that and there is no shortage of bentonite in Utah, but clay deposits of this type are rarely just one clay. Most likely there is some bentonite, illite, kaolinite, and others. Bentonite is typically a light colored clay and the closer you get to the volcanic deposits the more bentonite you are going to find, but once you get out into the wide flats the more the mixed clay mineralogy you find.@@TheRealTburt

    As the video showed, straight clay mud is a really good way to have a really bad time really fast. I’ve seen these conditions outside Utah, but always in a man made excavation site like the borrow pit they were in for this recovery. If a large exposed clay seam is something that can occur in nature I haven’t seen/heard of it. Im actually kind of surprised the excavationg contractors didn’t have to push the overburden back over the top of the exposed clay when finished digging out what they needed for the reservoir .

    You may be right that if traction boards got you out, you were not really stuck in the first place. But here in Australia they're very popular because they are easy to use and usually get you unstuck fairly quickly with less risk of making matters worse. Pretty much every vehicle overlanding in the outback will carry them for that reason.
