My wife used to give me a hard time watching these videos, until we had to pull her sister's car out of a ditch and I sort of knew what to do. Thanks Matt!
This is exactly the reason why I watch these types of videos. It’s good to be prepared just incase. Then you look like a champ when you come across the situation.
So funny to hear you talk about not being sure about the soft shackles as they were new to you at this point. Could you imagine working without them now?? Ed is the man!
Matt, everything you do is interesting to us. That may seem strange, but we are mostly armchair adventurers who wish we were living your life. You live and work in a great location and have a wonderful group of friends. Be yourself and do not worry about the very few who may not like what you do, or say. They can go and watch some other channel! Merry Christmas to you and all of your fellow UA-cam stars!
Richard I started by being near offended by being called an armchair adventurer, and then realized it’s accurate lol. I love Matt’s videos and maybe you hit on why
I’m 90% armchair adventurer and 10% adventurer. That ratio will change as my student loans get paid off and I can afford to take more time off and my kids move out of the house.
@@Beandiptheredneck uh,,,I'm a hard core adventurer who also sometimes likes to stay warm and comfy in my armchair. I'm totally addicted to Matt's channel because he knows his stuff, is super cool and mellow, and I learn a lot about recovery. Matt your presentations are perfect!!

"shackles...I've been using these for 40 years" ...Matt during nap time in his kindergarten class..."Sorry teacher, gotta go, someone called, they're stuck up on the ridge". Clean living and fresh air has kept you looking quite young, Matt. Thanks for sharing.
They also make 'em in 4 gallon and 6 gallon configurations, so you don't have to put a 6 gallon one in if you don't need it. It actually is possible to buy them, they're less than ten bucks apiece, and are available in multiple colors, not just in Shamrock Green. You could get one in bright orange if you want something that stands out a bit on the side of the road. In an old work van I had shelving in the back, shelves were barely tall enough to get milk crates in and out. I ended up partly cutting out the sides so that I could reach-through for contents that were low in the crates. Worked well.
It used to be hard to get them because they weren't making them for a long time but now people are realizing there is a demand for them. I'm starting to see them for sale at stores now. Like brand new production ones. Which is nice, the ones I have are old like almost all of them haha but yeah they are getting brittle.
Hi Matt, I am from Yemen and based on our natural land in our home country I do understand the work you are doing with your Jeep. We do lots of unbelievable recoveries with way less equipment than what people usually use. Mostly rope or chain and that is it , no winch and no other equipment. The rope you are using is a brilliant idea and soft with 30% stretch to it is just ideal for the job. So really appreciate your work and the natural of the way you are doing it. Keep up the good work and I am a fan from Middle East, Yemen... Marry Christmas to you , your crew and all your fans..
Definitely not a boring video. It's very good and educational, not many people know where to hook on to these newer cars if they're not familiar with them. Good job man. 👍
Years ago a friend and I where asked to recover a guy stuck in the mud, he hook up the rope himself. He hooked to his bumper, I told him “what ever you hook to it coming out, so hook to something that will bring the rest of the truck with it”. Need less to say we recovered the bumper first....Then the truck.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Re:hooking methods and gear shown. I think people forget that this is a tow company. Heck, I have seen / heard tow truck damage cars simply hooking up to a car illegally parked in a city parking lot. So to recover a car/truck/RV deep down in a canyon stuck in mud, sand, or snow, there is going to be some potential for damage. Period. The fact that Matt has probably done a 10,000 recoveries and haven’t broke a thing yet, even if he breaks one tomorrow, the math still works out to 10,000 to 1. You probably also aren’t seeing every part of the conversation Matt is having with the customer. If there is any chance of damage, whether from hooking point, or the way the vehicle is getting towed out, Matt is likely advising the customer, listen, this might crack, you might lose this plastic part, if you don’t keep the wheels straight, you will end up in the opposite ditch; oh look you are now in the opposite ditch. 😂 Anyway, I think most people who are keyboard warrioring his videos, don’t operate a tow truck and never recovered a stuck vehicle before.
We could buy all the equipment you covered and hook vehicles in the locations you showed and we'd not be nearly as successful. I think most of your success is due to experience. Your ability to quickly recognize the terrain, the texture and viscosity of the material (snow, mud, sand, etc.) and "see" how the vehicle is stuck is the key. You can make a fairly quick decision because you've seen it before. Oh and... you do a much better job of explaining things than you give yourself credit for. Keep having fun! Merry Christmas!
The only channel I pounce on the second I get a notification, Merry Christmas to the whole family and team. I like the shovel, I have exactly the same one in my permanent carry-on gear. I’ve also got the same bow shackles, although I don’t carry the small ones. I tend to only do offroad recovery, and most of that is self recovery when I’ve bitten off a bit more than I can chew in my Land Cruiser 80 series (that was for Ed’s benefit). I second all that you said Matt, about choosing a hook-up point on the strongest member you can find. You’ve proved it works, and I’ll bet you’ve never damaged a customer’s car in all the recoveries you’ve done. Boring? Not a bit of it, I love this channel and wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year 2020.
You asked if this video would be boring, no, certainly not. Giving viewers this information is interesting to me, i think you should educate us more in the videos or do some videos just showing off hints and tips you have learned.
This is dead on! Right as he was saying that I was thinking to myself that this is why we love this channel. It goes back to what he said earlier about 4x4 channels. They're great, but they show videos about doing this kind of things with vehicles that are specifically designed for it. This channel fills that niche for the kind of people who just like helping out there neighbor in say a snow storm situation or helping out some random teenage kids who were just having some fun and maybe got in over their heads on a back road.
Thank you Matt!! I traveled to go see my daughter and grandkids in Monterey and I was wondering why are there so many people ordering the Omegamill Jeep bag on Christmas Day? So this happened on the way home. Dark and rainy I got confused about the roads and asked Siri. We soon found ourselves going on this horrible farm road full of potholes and standing water. I wasn’t driving the XJ but our Chevy Cruze. I was staring to wonder if I was going to have to call Matt or would the space aliens come and get us because if they did no one would know, not there. I finally saw lights from what I thought was Hwy 1 and used a map app to figure out where we were. Now I understand how people can find themselves in odd places, we did.
Thanks Matt. Extremely informative. I came across you channel because I was trying to learn more about recovering vehicles after I purchased a 4x4. Wanted to learn how to do it safely. Now I know what gear to buy, and can’t stop watching your channel. Not boring at all.
Got a Winder Towing hoodie for an early Christmas present and have received many thumbs up while out and about here in Ft Collins, CO. Keep up the excellent work, and Merry Christmas.
Enjoy your added drone footage. I also enjoy your cool demeanor with your customers. The footage of Utah topography is certainly beautiful. I think the interest that your viewers have is the challenge of solving the problems that you run into with every recovery.
great information . I'm just a tree guy but have been 4 wheeling for many years and helped out hundreds of people get unstuck with rope haha now i can't wait to get my yankem rope , put to work here in California . on the weekends when out out having fun ..
At a family gathering Them: did you see the football game? Me: no, sounds boring. Me: I watch winder towing pull people out. Them: sounds boring. Me: whatever!
Yep every one will complain about something till there stuck and need to be recovered from mud / snow or whatever As. Far as I can tell from your videos you are doing a very good job of getting these people and there car trucks or campers back on paved roads where they needed to stay in the first place as they have NO business out on the dirt trails Merry Christmas
Agreed or just multiple of the same. One with the chains one with the ropes one with the shackles etc. I couldn’t deal with everything just thrown in the back 😂
This was very helpful for me, thank you! First of all I could never be a critic of how you tow and recover vehicles because you know way more than I do. So again that's why this is helpful for me. I'm a freelance nature photographer in Colorado. I always drive four-wheel drives and go where people aren't, because that's where the best pictures are. I can't count how many people I have pulled out and gotten unstuck. In fact I can't remember a time where I couldn't get the job done. Haha that's primarily because when it's bad I turn the job down and tell them to call a pro. I'm a damn amateur that believes it's just common courtesy to help someone stuck. So seeing some of these techniques and the recovery points help me a lot! Again thank you and I really appreciate your wisdom and experience. Don't worry, I realize now I know just enough to be dangerous, so as my Dad taught me many years ago, it's time to be even more careful. Oh! and I'd love to yankem ropes! The are all most exactly like the type of ropes used in rock climbing as far as elasticity. They're made for us to fall on over and over again and they work like a very stiff bungee. That way when you hit the bottom of the slack of rope it doesn't yank your body out of your harness and worse. Those ropes just to make sense to me, period.
imported shackles will fail, I only buy Crosby and they will stretch and never come apart again. I have an 1 1/2" shackle that is about a 1/2" longer than when it was new
@@jonschneck4559 I've seen some break that weren't imported. However, I was also recovering a Leopard II tank that had sunk to the belly and thrown a track, so there was a lot more force on it than anything most people will ever put on it (including most professional recovery companies or tow drivers).
Only one I haven't seen fail the pin was over 3 inches in diameter and was probably 60 lbs.. I used it in my traveling beating on rod strings that I'd pull well over 50k lbs into and violently beat on. Like miners oil rig hands are really good at finding how much it takes to break stuff. I've seen 7/8" braided cables snap and the 5/8" winch line it was hooked on to not break on a straight pull. I'm convicted with a little bit of fsu (f*ck sh*t up) mentality and horse power you can break damn near anything. Intentionally or unintentionally and usually it's pretty damn cool when you do, just as long as you're not standing next to it
Our grandson Matt got his camo Winder towing hat for Christmas today. To say he is thrilled is an understatement. When they vacation in Zion this summer, they will stop in to see the crew. Merry Christmas!
Let me say that sarcastic message for you- Ive been doing this 40 years and I know what Im doing, I appreciate all you keyboard kowboys telling me what Im doing wrong but Im doing it my way. Hope everyone has a Merry Xmas!
For what it's worth Matt, I like all of what I've seen you doing here. Sure beats the snot outa using 30' of chain.... Crosby shackles don't break... Seen some contractors using foreign made shackles fail, generally at the most inopportune time for sure. Again, Merry Christmas.
@@barrysimmons4724 I've seen a chinesium / fake shackle fail way under the limit on the side. Launched a small shot of chain past my head and took off my hard hat. We found three more in the shackle bucket. No idea who bought them or how they made it into the bucket. Due to the rigging failure, a ~ 15 ton package slammed onto a single bow shackle where it bounced up and down a bunch of times. It was in the air on that single point for almost thirty minutes in heavy seas before recovery for a re-rig was possible. The only thing I see @Matt doing which I wouldn't do is rock without gloves. I'd probably have Maxiflex 34-874 or similar with me every time I stepped out of the vehicle. Condor or Atlas lobster fishing gloves if there's snow on the ground.
@@fshalor738 after that event our crane supervisor / Foreman told us to search all of our rigging, any shackles not marked Crosby cut with a torch and discard.
Matt, I'm sure others have said it, but what you consider "boring" because you do it day in and day out, we find fascinating because we only encounter it when we're the ones getting pulled out! And I say bring on the sarcasm!! It's a sign of intelligence. :-)
Hey Matt. Video is not boring at all. Shocked to hear about all the negative comments regarding the yankum rope. I think many people don’t understand what the term kinetic means. It’s essentially a giant Bungee Cord. You see people bungee jump off of bridges and towers all the time, and you don’t see their body ripped apart. They GENTLY reduce speed/velocity and come to a stop. Same applies here....we’ve just turned the bungee cord 90 degrees horizontally lol.
Great video, very informative. Such a simple set of supplies that gets the job done. I'm sure many customers are shocked when your jeep shows up, thinking no way you can help. It's all in your driving skills and experience in getting people unstuck.
All good. Just be mindful of all the heavy metal objects loosely in the back of the Jeep. If on the off chance something bad happens to you, such as a car crash or rollover, all those things could go flying or rolling around and can kill everyone inside, probably loved ones. I've seen that happen a few times and its not pretty. Putting up a cargo net or cage that you can still see out the back is easy. Or use storage boxes that you can strap or anchor down. Its worth the time and effort. Bad things can happen even to experienced people who think "it won't happen to me". Have a good day.
Erik Robles he wasn’t wrong.. a shackle coming from the back in a collision or rollover could be deadly and at the least cause injury.. it’s not being a worry wart it’s just trying to care
Joe Hanson I have a steel cage behind the back seat in my ford bronco, my 2 year old rides in he back seat occasionally and I’m taking no chances on something coming forward in a collision
@@erikrobles5727 I've seen a guy killed by the TV he had in the back of his SUV, young guy in his early 20s. I saw another guy killed by a trailer hitch he had sitting in the back. Just ask a firefighter about rollovers. A firefighter told me about a family of 5 all killed by the junk in the back in an suv that rolled down a hill. Please think even just a little before you open your mouth.
@@schmojo33 well I was told by a friend of a fire fighter whos cousin told him that his neighbors wanted to tell you to shut the F... Up worry wart!!! LoL how I crack my self up!!!
i've found that organized chaos works for people that haven't yet used milk crates :} great video, as always. the vibe on this channel is great. don't worry about 'appearances', you were raised right and the humor is proper. nothing can go wrong
I have used a 3/4" dynamic (stretchy) nylon rope for years recovering rally cars in the Minnesota and Michigan woods. They have always worked about like your ropes and never any damage because of yanking. I have had quite a few terrible owner installed tow points come off, usually just as my recovery setup came tight. I co-wrote a recovery point rule with another worker that was published in the SCCA rule book for exactly 1 year after which the car driver/owners got together and had it removed. They did not understand that their tow points were crap, we heard from a lot of them saying they pulled their car onto their trailer just fine. Anyway from my point of view, you are right on target with your plan. I whine at the screen now and then over details but I would never argue with success. Great videos, maybe someday they will all understand.
Matt, Thank you for the information about your Jeep set-up and the primer on vehicle recovery. I have watched most all of your videos and you often place on-screen text about the air pressure in your tires during a recovery. I have seen it go as low as 9 psi but it is usually in the 11-18 psi range. That is great information for the actual recovery. Some of your early videos even showed you airing down your tires. What has not covered, either in this video or in the individual recovery videos , is when and HOW do you air-up your tires before that 90 mile drive back home on hot asphalt? Surely you don’t do that at 9psig.
'The dogs are getting the treats, but Ed isn't... I love it! Merry Christmas Matt, Ed, family and friends. The views and the number of 'Thumbs Up' are proof that your videos are NOT 'Boring'. For those who don't understand the principle of a recovery rope (to transfer the energy of a vehicle's motion into the stuck vehicle as a controlled surge rather than a violent jolt), your mention that the unmodified XJ has survived thousands of pulls without damage, speaks for itself.
All great points and gear, you obvious have a great amount of expiriance in recovery. Wish you had made your sarcastic comment, but shows your character and it's solid and shines. Good on you, blessings always.
Not boring at all! Very enlightening ! What about the Pindle hook we see some times? I do understand the load distribution on the Yankum loop with the triple ball though. Sarcasm is OK ! You seem a bit shy to be yourself. I may not fully understand the kind of criticism you get but you should be allowed to take a shot once in a while. What the heck !? Love your videos ! Love to see the dogs run and run ! Ed is a hoot ! I’ll have to make a pilgrimage for a hat one of these days. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Pahrump, Nevada.
Think and speak at the same time, now that's funny. We would love to hear your sarcasm, don't hold back.All those that condemn the way you tow probably have never been off road. We love want you do and the way you do it. Thats why we watch it.
Matt, you're right about the bolt shackles. I was a crane signalman in a Great Lakes shipyard. We used bolt shackles on incredibly heavy lifts. They do not fail - period. I've watched other channels that talk about recovery equipment and they warn against using shackles due to failure. I can't imagine failure unless there are some cheap Chinese made shackles out there. God, I hope there isn't.
I've done rigging as a stagehand and hung some serious loads using shackles. Loads that sit above stages and over the crowd where if it fails, someone is going to die. Huge blocks of speakers or truss loaded full of lights and scenery. You can always go oversize for the lift and give yourself a big margin for safety and indeed, it's common practice to do so. I have never had a chain fail, a chain motor fail, a shackle or any wire rope. Granted, these are static loads but if you do it right, you will never have an incident.
Merry Christmas you guys are awesome!! And Matt you shouldn't be afraid of using a little sarcasm!! It would make it a lot easier for you making these videos... always easier to be yourself.. and I'd the snowflakes cant handle it .. well who cares lol ..
People don't know about those ropes. They are very gentle on the vehicles using them. My buddy pulled me out with mine. He was in a stock 2019 jeep sahara and I was in a 2007 crewmax tundra with a 25' toy hauler loaded with a can-am x3 and quad. It was sand and I was dug kinda deep. He has never pulled anything out before and didn't have to much of an issue getting me out. You're right people should educate themselves before criticizing. BTW we used a soft shackle it has a 47,000 lbs break strength. It was good the whole time. I have used it several times.
Matt, you do great at explaining just the way you do. You are an awesome person the way you are and the fact that you took time to make a video like this speaks very highly of your character. Thank you for letting everyone into your life the way you do.
Merry Christmas to the Winder Family!! Reading the comments - some of them crack me up!! 🤦♀️🤣 You’re great in front of the camera; let the sarcasm roll!! ❤️🐞
The people commenting that you are bending frames just don't understand how the stretch rope works and/or don't have a good grasp of the physics involved. Trying to pull someone someone out with a static strap or chain and just pulling once the connection is tight means that you're limited to the amount of force you can generate purely with wheel traction, which isn't much in most situations. Trying to leave the rope or chain loose and get a little running start before it draws taught will generate a LOT of force in a very small amount of time as the recovery vehicle's built up kinetic energy is all dissipated immediately. That situation does result in bent metal and broken stuff. The method you're using allows you to develop a lot kinetic energy in the XJ and then use that energy to build a high tension force in the rope over a more reasonable period of time. And because the rope stretches to build up that force, the force slowly falls off once the vehicle starts moving, unlike a chain that can't store any of that energy.
Yes, very curious about where you hook up to cars and your opinion about strength of that point. Had to pull an old car, 70s, out of mud and really questioned where to hook. Watching you gives me ideas on how to help people without damaging their car. Yea, not so much about dog not getting a treat as much as the other dogs getting a treat in front of the third dog. 😬😢
Matt, I've been waiting for this video a long time! Love the channel! Only one burning question wasn't answered: what grade is the chain-bridle? 70? Thanks again! Your channel is the only one on UA-cam that I watch each video within a day or two of posting. Merry Christmas!!!
I think most grade 70 bridles will be labeled as "not for recovery" but since Matt is using kinetic rope I'm sure that is substantially less stress on the bridle. Am I thinking right Matt?
I was hoping you would do a video on how to recover a vehicle. I drive on the east coast beaches all the time and carry shovels and a standard strap. I have refused to help people with no tow points who are stuck in fear of damaging their vehicle. Or I make them hook their end. Great information and I clearly need some additional gear.
Merry Christmas Matt, ED and family and friends! I'm new here. Been watching for about a month. I am a 4x4 outback exploring enthusiast. And I appreciate all you do.
Matt, love the channel! I was wondering what brand of strap/rope you were using and a few weeks ago you flashed Yankum on one of the videos! I went to work on the computer and sure enough they were out there! I read through there website and not knowing which one you had (other than 30’ and 20’) i ordered the 1” X 30’ with 2 hard shackles. After a week I had not heard from them on a delivery date so I gave them a call. I talked with a real nice guy, and he told me that I was like 115th in line and they were waiting for more reels of stock to come in. They said they know you and when word got out what you were using they got bombed with orders! They assured me I would have it by Christmas! (It arrived Monday the 23rd!) He was the one that told me you had all of yours in 7/8th. Looked like I may have over bought but I am real happy with it! Great company to work with, great product to use! I enjoy watching a pro doing a great job out there! Say hi to Ed!
german shepard maybe use a factory jack just enough to get a hook on something, I think he damaged cars he always had a flatbed waiting with full equipment where the asphalt starts
Happy Christmas to you all. As you already know, there are many different types of rope and people need to read up on them before they fire questions (and accusations) in your direction. A lot of armchair recovery operators out there! ;-)
I prefer a Winch to for recovery (I do a lot of heavy Semi trucks recovery, and offroad recovery of tractors and farm vehicles as my daily work job) . But People are diffrent. So if you like it your way, do It :) Nice video By the way :)
@@bryanmartin3794 We got a landcruiser 75series at my work for smaller vehicles/vans/trucks. And a UNIMAN/UNIMOG for the heavy recovery. the weight on those are around 10 tons(metric) or 22000lb
Yes it can pull the jeep forward. It is easy to bury the tires on the Jeep or use a second one as an anchor. I've winched out quite a few full size trucks from the sand with my Jeep with no problems.
Thanks for taking the time to give a few pointers! Ever think of putting one of those wire headache racks behind the back seat of your vehicle in case there's a crash/hard breaking condition/roll over and all that recovery stuff goes flying towards you and your passengers? Something like they might have for K-9 unit or for dangerous person transport. You might be able to hang stuff on it too where it wouldn't cut down on your visibility for organization. Del Mar horse 2x4 panel might work on a budget. A ranch welder might sell you a piece on the cheap or give it to you once he finds out the service you do to the community. Search on Craigslist or use SearchTempest. I remember a guy at the UHaul store years ago was very adamant about me keeping the 2" hitch in the box because his friend had one rolling around in the back of his pickup truck and got into a crash. The ball hitch flew through the cab window and killed the driver. The survivor was messed up for life, seemed like a pull string doll that the only thing he could remember to say was "Keep it in the Box!" The only thing you didn't have was a SCUBA tank in the RARE event you get into an underwater/in the lake recovery situation and need to find a point underwater to hook onto. Might be nice to have a few breaths of Spare Air. Or call in a rescue diver.
Can you make a video showing different tow points on vehicles in more depth? I have a unibody frame and there’s no good spots to put a tow strap if I needed to.
My wife used to give me a hard time watching these videos, until we had to pull her sister's car out of a ditch and I sort of knew what to do. Thanks Matt!
This is exactly the reason why I watch these types of videos. It’s good to be prepared just incase. Then you look like a champ when you come across the situation.
So funny to hear you talk about not being sure about the soft shackles as they were new to you at this point. Could you imagine working without them now?? Ed is the man!

For the loose bottles and other small items, you can’t beat a milk crate.
Great upside down to set a Honda 2200 or Predator 2000 on at the campsite too. Eliminates sitting in the sand, dirt or mud. 6 gal.
They also make 'em in 4 gallon and 6 gallon configurations, so you don't have to put a 6 gallon one in if you don't need it.
It actually is possible to buy them, they're less than ten bucks apiece, and are available in multiple colors, not just in Shamrock Green. You could get one in bright orange if you want something that stands out a bit on the side of the road.
In an old work van I had shelving in the back, shelves were barely tall enough to get milk crates in and out. I ended up partly cutting out the sides so that I could reach-through for contents that were low in the crates. Worked well.
my dad worked for foster farms. we use milk crates for everything supplies stepladders tools etc
I usually use a homer or Napa bucket. ;) useful for melting snow too. Fill it with snow and set it on the intake.
It used to be hard to get them because they weren't making them for a long time but now people are realizing there is a demand for them. I'm starting to see them for sale at stores now. Like brand new production ones. Which is nice, the ones I have are old like almost all of them haha but yeah they are getting brittle.

Query: Have you guys bought a rope or three to use?
poor freya, didnt get a treat last time and now walked into a car
I hit the rewind button a few times to watch it, so funny that clumsy puppy
I watched it about ten times myself
15:40 Hey Freya...biff
Poor freya. I did laugh though. Freya just wanted to be in the video. LOL!
LOL didn't even notice when I watched it the first time.
Definitely not a boring video. It's very good and educational, not many people know where to hook on to these newer cars if they're not familiar with them. Good job man. 👍
Years ago a friend and I where asked to recover a guy stuck in the mud, he hook up the rope himself.
He hooked to his bumper, I told him “what ever you hook to it coming out, so hook to something that will bring the rest of the truck with it”. Need less to say we recovered the bumper first....Then the truck.
🤣😂🤣
Merry Christmas to everyone. Re:hooking methods and gear shown. I think people forget that this is a tow company. Heck, I have seen / heard tow truck damage cars simply hooking up to a car illegally parked in a city parking lot. So to recover a car/truck/RV deep down in a canyon stuck in mud, sand, or snow, there is going to be some potential for damage. Period. The fact that Matt has probably done a 10,000 recoveries and haven’t broke a thing yet, even if he breaks one tomorrow, the math still works out to 10,000 to 1.
You probably also aren’t seeing every part of the conversation Matt is having with the customer. If there is any chance of damage, whether from hooking point, or the way the vehicle is getting towed out, Matt is likely advising the customer, listen, this might crack, you might lose this plastic part, if you don’t keep the wheels straight, you will end up in the opposite ditch; oh look you are now in the opposite ditch. 😂
Anyway, I think most people who are keyboard warrioring his videos, don’t operate a tow truck and never recovered a stuck vehicle before.
Great video. Not boring at all! Very educational. Thank you!
Hi Matt, this is NOT a boring video!
Absolutely! Watching the how it's done is interesting, but the why it works is just as interesting!
Agreed, not boring at all!
We could buy all the equipment you covered and hook vehicles in the locations you showed and we'd not be nearly as successful. I think most of your success is due to experience. Your ability to quickly recognize the terrain, the texture and viscosity of the material (snow, mud, sand, etc.) and "see" how the vehicle is stuck is the key. You can make a fairly quick decision because you've seen it before. Oh and... you do a much better job of explaining things than you give yourself credit for. Keep having fun! Merry Christmas!
I 💚 how every job is a new physics problem that they solve with experience & intuition
The only channel I pounce on the second I get a notification, Merry Christmas to the whole family and team.
I like the shovel, I have exactly the same one in my permanent carry-on gear. I’ve also got the same bow shackles, although I don’t carry the small ones. I tend to only do offroad recovery, and most of that is self recovery when I’ve bitten off a bit more than I can chew in my Land Cruiser 80 series (that was for Ed’s benefit).
I second all that you said Matt, about choosing a hook-up point on the strongest member you can find. You’ve proved it works, and I’ll bet you’ve never damaged a customer’s car in all the recoveries you’ve done.
Boring? Not a bit of it, I love this channel and wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year 2020.
Enjoyed the video so much that I watched it twice.
You asked if this video would be boring, no, certainly not. Giving viewers this information is interesting to me, i think you should educate us more in the videos or do some videos just showing off hints and tips you have learned.
This is dead on! Right as he was saying that I was thinking to myself that this is why we love this channel. It goes back to what he said earlier about 4x4 channels. They're great, but they show videos about doing this kind of things with vehicles that are specifically designed for it. This channel fills that niche for the kind of people who just like helping out there neighbor in say a snow storm situation or helping out some random teenage kids who were just having some fun and maybe got in over their heads on a back road.
Thanks Matt . I'm my family's recovery team . Great info. I've learned alot from your videos and iv had a 4wd for 40+ years
Not a "boring video" at all, very informative. Thank you.
Thank you Matt!! I traveled to go see my daughter and grandkids in Monterey and I was wondering why are there so many people ordering the Omegamill Jeep bag on Christmas Day? So this happened on the way home. Dark and rainy I got confused about the roads and asked Siri. We soon found ourselves going on this horrible farm road full of potholes and standing water. I wasn’t driving the XJ but our Chevy Cruze. I was staring to wonder if I was going to have to call Matt or would the space aliens come and get us because if they did no one would know, not there. I finally saw lights from what I thought was Hwy 1 and used a map app to figure out where we were. Now I understand how people can find themselves in odd places, we did.
Thanks Matt. Extremely informative. I came across you channel because I was trying to learn more about recovering vehicles after I purchased a 4x4. Wanted to learn how to do it safely. Now I know what gear to buy, and can’t stop watching your channel. Not boring at all.
Got a Winder Towing hoodie for an early Christmas present and have received many thumbs up while out and about here in Ft Collins, CO. Keep up the excellent work, and Merry Christmas.
Enjoy your added drone footage. I also enjoy your cool demeanor with your customers. The footage of Utah topography is certainly beautiful. I think the interest that your viewers have is the challenge of solving the problems that you run into with every recovery.
Use milk crates to organize! And yes be you don’t hold back be sarcastic!
great information . I'm just a tree guy but have been 4 wheeling for many years and helped out hundreds of people get unstuck with rope haha now i can't wait to get my yankem rope , put to work here in California . on the weekends when out out having fun ..
At a family gathering
Them: did you see the football game?
Me: no, sounds boring.
Me: I watch winder towing pull people out.
Them: sounds boring.
Me: whatever!
Your not that bad of an instructor. I’ve learned quite a bit from you so thanks.
Merry Christmas.... Different colored milk Crete or totes for your ropes and chains. Easy to load and unload.
Tommy Simmons exactly! Milk crates are the shit! I use them in my work van!
I'm an ex truck driver, tricks of the trade.
Yep every one will complain about something till there stuck and need to be recovered from mud / snow or whatever
As. Far as I can tell from your videos you are doing a very good job of getting these people and there car trucks or campers back on paved roads where they needed to stay in the first place as they have NO business out on the dirt trails
Merry Christmas
would work for the water bottles as well
Agreed or just multiple of the same. One with the chains one with the ropes one with the shackles etc. I couldn’t deal with everything just thrown in the back 😂
This was very helpful for me, thank you!
First of all I could never be a critic of how you tow and recover vehicles because you know way more than I do. So again that's why this is helpful for me.
I'm a freelance nature photographer in Colorado. I always drive four-wheel drives and go where people aren't, because that's where the best pictures are. I can't count how many people I have pulled out and gotten unstuck. In fact I can't remember a time where I couldn't get the job done. Haha that's primarily because when it's bad I turn the job down and tell them to call a pro.
I'm a damn amateur that believes it's just common courtesy to help someone stuck. So seeing some of these techniques and the recovery points help me a lot! Again thank you and I really appreciate your wisdom and experience. Don't worry, I realize now I know just enough to be dangerous, so as my Dad taught me many years ago, it's time to be even more careful.
Oh! and I'd love to yankem ropes! The are all most exactly like the type of ropes used in rock climbing as far as elasticity. They're made for us to fall on over and over again and they work like a very stiff bungee. That way when you hit the bottom of the slack of rope it doesn't yank your body out of your harness and worse. Those ropes just to make sense to me, period.
I have seen bow shackles fail, but I work in mining. And miners are good at finding limits of equipment.
imported shackles will fail, I only buy Crosby and they will stretch and never come apart again. I have an 1 1/2" shackle that is about a 1/2" longer than when it was new
@@jonschneck4559 yeah that is all the mine buys too. Chinese shackles or any non US made are forbidden.
@@jonschneck4559 I've seen some break that weren't imported. However, I was also recovering a Leopard II tank that had sunk to the belly and thrown a track, so there was a lot more force on it than anything most people will ever put on it (including most professional recovery companies or tow drivers).
Same. I've never seen one fail on a passenger car or truck. Tanks and military trucks are a different story lol
Only one I haven't seen fail the pin was over 3 inches in diameter and was probably 60 lbs..
I used it in my traveling beating on rod strings that I'd pull well over 50k lbs into and violently beat on.
Like miners oil rig hands are really good at finding how much it takes to break stuff. I've seen 7/8" braided cables snap and the 5/8" winch line it was hooked on to not break on a straight pull. I'm convicted with a little bit of fsu (f*ck sh*t up) mentality and horse power you can break damn near anything. Intentionally or unintentionally and usually it's pretty damn cool when you do, just as long as you're not standing next to it
Our grandson Matt got his camo Winder towing hat for Christmas today. To say he is thrilled is an understatement. When they vacation in Zion this summer, they will stop in to see the crew. Merry Christmas!
Let me say that sarcastic message for you- Ive been doing this 40 years and I know what Im doing, I appreciate all you keyboard kowboys telling me what Im doing wrong but Im doing it my way. Hope everyone has a Merry Xmas!
For what it's worth Matt, I like all of what I've seen you doing here. Sure beats the snot outa using 30' of chain....
Crosby shackles don't break... Seen some contractors using foreign made shackles fail, generally at the most inopportune time for sure.
Again, Merry Christmas.
Good. This needed to be said
@@barrysimmons4724 I've seen a chinesium / fake shackle fail way under the limit on the side. Launched a small shot of chain past my head and took off my hard hat. We found three more in the shackle bucket. No idea who bought them or how they made it into the bucket. Due to the rigging failure, a ~ 15 ton package slammed onto a single bow shackle where it bounced up and down a bunch of times. It was in the air on that single point for almost thirty minutes in heavy seas before recovery for a re-rig was possible.
The only thing I see @Matt doing which I wouldn't do is rock without gloves. I'd probably have Maxiflex 34-874 or similar with me every time I stepped out of the vehicle. Condor or Atlas lobster fishing gloves if there's snow on the ground.
@@fshalor738 after that event our crane supervisor / Foreman told us to search all of our rigging, any shackles not marked Crosby cut with a torch and discard.
@@barrysimmons4724 the CCP will do anything to try to kill us Americans off one way or another.
Matt, I'm sure others have said it, but what you consider "boring" because you do it day in and day out, we find fascinating because we only encounter it when we're the ones getting pulled out! And I say bring on the sarcasm!! It's a sign of intelligence. :-)
Hey Matt. Video is not boring at all. Shocked to hear about all the negative comments regarding the yankum rope. I think many people don’t understand what the term kinetic means. It’s essentially a giant Bungee Cord.
You see people bungee jump off of bridges and towers all the time, and you don’t see their body ripped apart. They GENTLY reduce speed/velocity and come to a stop. Same applies here....we’ve just turned the bungee cord 90 degrees horizontally lol.
Sonnicman nice analogy
@@jonellwanger7258 Thanks Jon, Much appreciated!
Great video, very informative. Such a simple set of supplies that gets the job done. I'm sure many customers are shocked when your jeep shows up, thinking no way you can help. It's all in your driving skills and experience in getting people unstuck.
You said boring... not at all. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
I was going to suggest a milk crate too they stay put and dont hold dirt and water.
All good. Just be mindful of all the heavy metal objects loosely in the back of the Jeep. If on the off chance something bad happens to you, such as a car crash or rollover, all those things could go flying or rolling around and can kill everyone inside, probably loved ones. I've seen that happen a few times and its not pretty. Putting up a cargo net or cage that you can still see out the back is easy. Or use storage boxes that you can strap or anchor down. Its worth the time and effort. Bad things can happen even to experienced people who think "it won't happen to me". Have a good day.
OMG Worry wart let the guy be ..how long has he been doing this you think your advice has any bearing on what he'll do
Erik Robles he wasn’t wrong.. a shackle coming from the back in a collision or rollover could be deadly and at the least cause injury.. it’s not being a worry wart it’s just trying to care
Joe Hanson I have a steel cage behind the back seat in my ford bronco, my 2 year old rides in he back seat occasionally and I’m taking no chances on something coming forward in a collision
@@erikrobles5727 I've seen a guy killed by the TV he had in the back of his SUV, young guy in his early 20s. I saw another guy killed by a trailer hitch he had sitting in the back. Just ask a firefighter about rollovers. A firefighter told me about a family of 5 all killed by the junk in the back in an suv that rolled down a hill. Please think even just a little before you open your mouth.
@@schmojo33 well I was told by a friend of a fire fighter whos cousin told him that his neighbors wanted to tell you to shut the F... Up worry wart!!! LoL how I crack my self up!!!
i've found that organized chaos works for people that haven't yet used milk crates :}
great video, as always.
the vibe on this channel is great. don't worry about 'appearances', you were raised right and the humor is proper. nothing can go wrong
I have used a 3/4" dynamic (stretchy) nylon rope for years recovering rally cars in the Minnesota and Michigan woods. They have always worked about like your ropes and never any damage because of yanking. I have had quite a few terrible owner installed tow points come off, usually just as my recovery setup came tight. I co-wrote a recovery point rule with another worker that was published in the SCCA rule book for exactly 1 year after which the car driver/owners got together and had it removed. They did not understand that their tow points were crap, we heard from a lot of them saying they pulled their car onto their trailer just fine. Anyway from my point of view, you are right on target with your plan. I whine at the screen now and then over details but I would never argue with success. Great videos, maybe someday they will all understand.
Colby Emergency Valve Stems are nice to have in a pinch.
15:40 the dog running into the car 😂
I re-watched that about 5 times lol
Boink
Matt, Thank you for the information about your Jeep set-up and the primer on vehicle recovery. I have watched most all of your videos and you often place on-screen text about the air pressure in your tires during a recovery. I have seen it go as low as 9 psi but it is usually in the 11-18 psi range. That is great information for the actual recovery. Some of your early videos even showed you airing down your tires. What has not covered, either in this video or in the individual recovery videos , is when and HOW do you air-up your tires before that 90 mile drive back home on hot asphalt? Surely you don’t do that at 9psig.
'The dogs are getting the treats, but Ed isn't... I love it! Merry Christmas Matt, Ed, family and friends. The views and the number of 'Thumbs Up' are proof that your videos are NOT 'Boring'. For those who don't understand the principle of a recovery rope (to transfer the energy of a vehicle's motion into the stuck vehicle as a controlled surge rather than a violent jolt), your mention that the unmodified XJ has survived thousands of pulls without damage, speaks for itself.
All great points and gear, you obvious have a great amount of expiriance in recovery.
Wish you had made your sarcastic comment, but shows your character and it's solid and shines.
Good on you, blessings always.
poor dog at 15:40 walked into car.
SLAM BOY Haha. I noticed that too.
I came here to say that. Hilarious
Funny shit!
SLAM BOY yeah I was having a look before I was going to post the same thing. ‘Hey Freya’ and then the dog just walks right into that car
Get that dog a treat.
Merry Christmas to all of you
Not boring at all! Very enlightening ! What about the Pindle hook we see some times? I do understand the load distribution on the Yankum loop with the triple ball though. Sarcasm is OK ! You seem a bit shy to be yourself. I may not fully understand the kind of criticism you get but you should be allowed to take a shot once in a while. What the heck !? Love your videos ! Love to see the dogs run and run ! Ed is a hoot ! I’ll have to make a pilgrimage for a hat one of these days. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Pahrump, Nevada.
Oooh a 1b Idaho plate. I used to be in the 6b region😁🖑
My family: Merry Christmas
Me: Shhhh, i'm watching Matts off road recovery
Think and speak at the same time, now that's funny. We would love to hear your sarcasm, don't hold back.All those that condemn the way you tow probably have never been off road. We love want you do and the way you do it. Thats why we watch it.
Matt, you're right about the bolt shackles. I was a crane signalman in a Great Lakes shipyard. We used bolt shackles on incredibly heavy lifts. They do not fail - period. I've watched other channels that talk about recovery equipment and they warn against using shackles due to failure. I can't imagine failure unless there are some cheap Chinese made shackles out there. God, I hope there isn't.
I've done rigging as a stagehand and hung some serious loads using shackles. Loads that sit above stages and over the crowd where if it fails, someone is going to die. Huge blocks of speakers or truss loaded full of lights and scenery.
You can always go oversize for the lift and give yourself a big margin for safety and indeed, it's common practice to do so. I have never had a chain fail, a chain motor fail, a shackle or any wire rope. Granted, these are static loads but if you do it right, you will never have an incident.
Keep the wheels straight and....just don’t run over the rope 😂⚙️ love it
Merry Christmas you guys are awesome!! And Matt you shouldn't be afraid of using a little sarcasm!! It would make it a lot easier for you making these videos... always easier to be yourself.. and I'd the snowflakes cant handle it .. well who cares lol ..
Made my Christmas Morning!
Laughed so hard when Freya walked into the car!
Good Dog
one of your best videos...
People don't know about those ropes. They are very gentle on the vehicles using them. My buddy pulled me out with mine. He was in a stock 2019 jeep sahara and I was in a 2007 crewmax tundra with a 25' toy hauler loaded with a can-am x3 and quad. It was sand and I was dug kinda deep. He has never pulled anything out before and didn't have to much of an issue getting me out. You're right people should educate themselves before criticizing. BTW we used a soft shackle it has a 47,000 lbs break strength. It was good the whole time. I have used it several times.
I see a Tapatio hot sauce bottle behind Ed. Nice
Matt, you do great at explaining just the way you do. You are an awesome person the way you are and the fact that you took time to make a video like this speaks very highly of your character. Thank you for letting everyone into your life the way you do.
at least now you know all the puppers get treats or you get flamed! can't be doing that on video, matt. lol
merry christmas!
Merry Christmas to the Winder Family!! Reading the comments - some of them crack me up!! 🤦♀️🤣 You’re great in front of the camera; let the sarcasm roll!! ❤️🐞
The people commenting that you are bending frames just don't understand how the stretch rope works and/or don't have a good grasp of the physics involved. Trying to pull someone someone out with a static strap or chain and just pulling once the connection is tight means that you're limited to the amount of force you can generate purely with wheel traction, which isn't much in most situations. Trying to leave the rope or chain loose and get a little running start before it draws taught will generate a LOT of force in a very small amount of time as the recovery vehicle's built up kinetic energy is all dissipated immediately. That situation does result in bent metal and broken stuff. The method you're using allows you to develop a lot kinetic energy in the XJ and then use that energy to build a high tension force in the rope over a more reasonable period of time. And because the rope stretches to build up that force, the force slowly falls off once the vehicle starts moving, unlike a chain that can't store any of that energy.
My impression: The keyboard commandos with the strongest opinions, have the least experience!
Merry Christmas Matt and Co!
Merry Christmas
I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I joined the channel. Great information thank you! Merry Christmas.
Did Yankum give you the ropes for free to advertise for them or did you buy them?
@@dallasray3223 Or at least some sort of discount.
Very cool video. Pretty darn informative!
Lil bit of Matt n Ed on Christmas morning with some coffee... perfect lol. Merry Christmas Guys keep up the awesome content
Merry Christmas to everyone
How to solve the problem of "things just rolling around" (at least water bottles and the like)? Two words: milk crate.
Steve
Yes, very curious about where you hook up to cars and your opinion about strength of that point. Had to pull an old car, 70s, out of mud and really questioned where to hook. Watching you gives me ideas on how to help people without damaging their car.
Yea, not so much about dog not getting a treat as much as the other dogs getting a treat in front of the third dog. 😬😢
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery yea, i have two dogs and it happens to me. No judgment.
Your dogs are great, love seeing them in the videos.
Matt, I've been waiting for this video a long time! Love the channel! Only one burning question wasn't answered: what grade is the chain-bridle? 70?
Thanks again! Your channel is the only one on UA-cam that I watch each video within a day or two of posting. Merry Christmas!!!
Great question, my brother has wondered the same thing!
Or maybe grade 80?
I think most grade 70 bridles will be labeled as "not for recovery" but since Matt is using kinetic rope I'm sure that is substantially less stress on the bridle. Am I thinking right Matt?
I want that van!
I was hoping you would do a video on how to recover a vehicle. I drive on the east coast beaches all the time and carry shovels and a standard strap. I have refused to help people with no tow points who are stuck in fear of damaging their vehicle. Or I make them hook their end. Great information and I clearly need some additional gear.
Merry Christmas
"Is it going to be a boaring video?" - No Matt, it is not at all boaring. It is exciting instead.
Boar = wild pig. Certainly no pigs here.
Merry Christmas Matt! Best wishes for projects in the new year. I'll be watching.
Merry Christmas Matt, ED and family and friends! I'm new here. Been watching for about a month. I am a 4x4 outback exploring enthusiast. And I appreciate all you do.
Love your videos! Got a Winder towing hat for Christmas. Merry Christmas from northern Minnesota!
Merry Christmas from a die hard jeep XJ owner.
Matt, love the channel! I was wondering what brand of strap/rope you were using and a few weeks ago you flashed Yankum on one of the videos! I went to work on the computer and sure enough they were out there! I read through there website and not knowing which one you had (other than 30’ and 20’) i ordered the 1” X 30’ with 2 hard shackles. After a week I had not heard from them on a delivery date so I gave them a call. I talked with a real nice guy, and he told me that I was like 115th in line and they were waiting for more reels of stock to come in. They said they know you and when word got out what you were using they got bombed with orders! They assured me I would have it by Christmas! (It arrived Monday the 23rd!) He was the one that told me you had all of yours in 7/8th. Looked like I may have over bought but I am real happy with it! Great company to work with, great product to use! I enjoy watching a pro doing a great job out there! Say hi to Ed!
why don't you carry a jack ? what if can't get under the car. your truck does not have any hydraulics that a tow truck has.
german shepard maybe use a factory jack just enough to get a hook on something, I think he damaged cars he always had a flatbed waiting with full equipment where the asphalt starts
Jacks for Cherokees are usually under the back seat. The factory ones anyway.
its under the passenger side of the back seat
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from the UK.🇬🇧
A great Xmas gift. 👍
I've been waiting for this video.
Thanks for the Christmas Day video Matt.It made a great Christmas even better....
Happy Christmas to you all. As you already know, there are many different types of rope and people need to read up on them before they fire questions (and accusations) in your direction. A lot of armchair recovery operators out there! ;-)
I prefer a Winch to for recovery (I do a lot of heavy Semi trucks recovery, and offroad recovery of tractors and farm vehicles as my daily work job) . But People are diffrent. So if you like it your way, do It :) Nice video By the way :)
Would a jeep have enough weight to winch a vehicle
@@bryanmartin3794 We got a landcruiser 75series at my work for smaller vehicles/vans/trucks. And a UNIMAN/UNIMOG for the heavy recovery. the weight on those are around 10 tons(metric) or 22000lb
If u have a 5000lb jeep winching a 5000lb truck stuck in sand wouldn't u drag the jeep to the truck??
@@bryanmartin3794 It doesn't need 5000lb to pull it free with a winch.
Yes it can pull the jeep forward. It is easy to bury the tires on the Jeep or use a second one as an anchor. I've winched out quite a few full size trucks from the sand with my Jeep with no problems.
Merry Christmas Family 🎅🏽🎁🎄Love the Vids, Keep them Coming. Hahah i was gonna say about the other PuP who did Not get a Treat LoL
one of those videos i appreciated so much i watched all the ads.
Merry Christmas to you
I started saying, "k" since watching this channel haha
Thanks for taking the time to give a few pointers! Ever think of putting one of those wire headache racks behind the back seat of your vehicle in case there's a crash/hard breaking condition/roll over and all that recovery stuff goes flying towards you and your passengers? Something like they might have for K-9 unit or for dangerous person transport. You might be able to hang stuff on it too where it wouldn't cut down on your visibility for organization. Del Mar horse 2x4 panel might work on a budget. A ranch welder might sell you a piece on the cheap or give it to you once he finds out the service you do to the community. Search on Craigslist or use SearchTempest. I remember a guy at the UHaul store years ago was very adamant about me keeping the 2" hitch in the box because his friend had one rolling around in the back of his pickup truck and got into a crash. The ball hitch flew through the cab window and killed the driver. The survivor was messed up for life, seemed like a pull string doll that the only thing he could remember to say was "Keep it in the Box!" The only thing you didn't have was a SCUBA tank in the RARE event you get into an underwater/in the lake recovery situation and need to find a point underwater to hook onto. Might be nice to have a few breaths of Spare Air. Or call in a rescue diver.
You should sell the kinetic energy straps the amount you show them off
He has a link in the description. Possibly an affiliate link. But that is fine by me.
Merry Christmas guys!!! 🎄🥳🎉🎊
Merry Christmas 😂 at 15:40 when the dog runs into the bumper
Can you make a video showing different tow points on vehicles in more depth? I have a unibody frame and there’s no good spots to put a tow strap if I needed to.
Merry xmas
Half dozen milk crates, you're smiling!
