Im very impressed with your recoveries, they all look pretty difficult. I like that you detail how you rig the lines to get the mechanical advantage to be able to do it with a jeep.
That’s was all part of the business model We need a small vehicle to access these areas And mechanical advantage to get the job done By doing this we can keep the cost reasonable While big wrecker companies hate me because we ruin the market because they need to bring in an excavator to build a road and hire a certified diver for this and have a $15,000 bill And wonder why they can’t get the jobs and I’m stealing them all 🤷♂️
Lol....."stealing", meanwhile you're just able to use "minimal" equipment logically as opposed to using an entire tool box full of tools to loosen one bolt. Not gonna lie, I'm a big fan of your channel....🇨🇦🇨🇦 's watchin!! I appreciate your videos and you sharing your knowledge and expertise and your wife brings it all together nicely with the video work. You guys dont act it up for the cameras and always keep it real......just awesome!!
@@harpintn Yes. Florida off road recovery and Trailmater are the 2 best recovery channels on RUclips. An abundance of technical knowledge and practical ability. Super educational and super enjoyable to watch.
@offroadrecoveryFL Hey I appreciate what you do. As I run 1150 rotator and can move about anything. I cost a lot of money. I'm big into rigging properly and never working the equipt too hard. It just makes everything safer and saves breakdowns. I see so many guys using rip and Tear method and end up damaging either customer equipt or even their own. Work smarter not harder.
I'm in Orlando and usually go up around Ocala. I'm waiting on a new engine to be installed in my 4X4. Watching your videos has got me jonesing to be in the woods. Should be done in couple months. And I've got your number saved in case I need you. Thank you, keep it up.
You ever been out to the Black Hole in Cocoa? It’s in Canaveral Groves. They’ve got some holes that’ll swallow your truck hole so I suggest going on a day when there’s not much water. Also a lot of sugar sand to get in which is annoying as hell. I lived in Orlando most my life and we used to mud out in what is now known as Lake Nona and Wyndham Lakes. Just no littering please. We try to keep our woods as clean as possible
Thanks for taking the time to share Matt!! My husband and I find you and your wife entertaining along with the recoveries!! My husband also wanted me to ask if you could do a video on how you tie your ropes!! That looks a tad different than the way he ties his up! Thanks again!
The braided tie for storage? We did video it and will be making a short I forgot to put it in this video we apologize It was asked to add it and I totally forgot
I really enjoy your wife's commentary. Her voice and mannerisms are soothing and sweet sounding to me. I am sure that her demeanor can change when needed. Your videos are entertaining and I enjoy them. Thank you
i have met her at the beach and can vouch that she is very pretty. perhaps onetime u might want to put her in the video for ur fans. u r lucky, but she is also as u r a great guy too.@@matt.mckinzie
Qell Matt. Ive always told you that you look the best when youre doung what you do. Youve proved to many people that you dont always need a huge recovery truck. You can move mountains with propper rigging. Yourd definitely in a very diversified matket down there in Florida. You run into the most different varieties of recoveries than just about anywhere else in the country. And you do these with a little truck equipped properly and using the knowledge of power with multiplacation of lines. Youve pulled out 80 semis to bobcats to mud buggies. Just about anything that can and will get stuck. Great job again. Keep up the good work.
Been watching recover videos for a few years now. I just came crossed yours like a week ago. Got to say I’m kinda like the difference you seems to be a hole different experience. I think what you all have in common is knowing your terrain. When you grow up in it definitely helps.
if you use a short piece of rope to make a prusik hitch you can quickly set your pull point at any part of your extension ropes it makes for quick advancement when you have to winch hard very long distances learned it from some tree guys
this is my first time watching ..that jeep sounds phenomenal..not stock by far..i'm not a jeep person but that one sounds pretty beefy..gotta be able to spin it up when you're dragging around vehicles twice it's size..i used to build dirt track motors many moons ago and we ran ours up to about 7500 rpms on a long 1/2 mile track..
Great video. I can appreciate how much work and effort went into filming this tow, let alone setting up the ropes and actually performing it! I like my Muck Boots, but for that cold, bayou-like muck, I think I would switch over to my fly-fishing waders!
Ya can see clearly how physically exhausting it was just dragging allllllll that line thru the swamp. Plus it gets heavier being wet, plus pulling thru the snatchblock resistance. Every time, I watch these swamp/water rescues.... I can't help but cringe thinking what kinda critters are slithering or lying in wait in those waters!
Normally I have an idea of how you will be carrying out the rescue, but when I saw the canoe at the side of the road @1.25, I realised that I was way out of my comfort zone, bur as usual you made it look easy!😎 ps, Your camera operator sounds delightful.
you need some rope bags to store your ropes it makes handling them easier. if you stuff them into the bag the correct way they pull out without ever tangling even after the bag has been tossed around for months without being used. it makes handling hundreds of feet of rope a breeze. a 5 gallon bag will hold 150ft of 5/8th rope
we are implementing some precautions like covering plates, faces, and any and all business info, due to people suck and love to be hatful for no reason. Especially on Facebook, we had people contact a business just to tell them their driver was an idiot for getting stuck off one of our videos. Yep so we are fixing that
Knowing the best way of rigging and pulling is something u cant learn in a class room or out of a book. Its a definete skillset learned from expirience. I suspect you are or hv been a wrecker/rollback recovery guy. And probubly a 4x4 guy for many years. Which is cool as hell. Also easy to see u obviously know the exact gear it takes to get the job done all by yourself. People dont realize just how much work it involves in gtg every bit of equipment drug out, using it, and gathering it all up and cleaning/stowing it away for the next call.
I’m impressed with how well that Jeep goes through the mud however this is also the first time I’ve watched one of your videos so this is probably a no brainer for you!
The easier way to get the swamp buggy out when its stuck like that is wait for a good drought to dry up all the water then just drive to it. It's nice to see videos from a Jacksonville channel.
When I lived down there most of the buggy owners I knew ran basic junkyard big block ford or chevy or Chrysler out of motorhomes that had been scrapped! I asked one time why they didn’t have them all souped up with go fast parts, buddy said that those who do only do so once unless they got bottomless pockets! Like this owner found out you swamp the engine and rides over till you get to high enough ground and if your lucky pull the plugs and drain the oil crank it over to empty water from cylinders and put fresh oil and filter dry plugs and your back in business just don’t forget to change oil again and filter after a lil runtime! Pro tip use cheap oil and filter while your making sure the water is all out and then use good stuff!
I know what you NEED, a pair of lightweight chest waders. Hip waders also work well, especially the better quality steel toed, roll down type. I guess I’m more familiar with colder, rocky working conditions. It’s easy to twist an ankle, or cut shins /calf’s on unseen snags. I’ve worked with a few guys who have a similar confidence and knowledge in tough spots, and it makes things less stressful and makes work enjoyable. We know unpredictable stuff happens , as long as nobody gets hurt and the job gets done everything is gonna be alright. Wish you much success in your future endeavours!
What a recovery! Unlike most commentors, I understand that I might be wrong but I know you lost power with that much rope out but it seems the stretch of the rope and the kinetic rope almost helped surge that swamp buggy out of the rut it was in. It came out with great force and ease at the same time. Just an observation though likely wrong somewhere.
Yes the rope we used wasn’t a standard winch rope It had about a 10% stretch at peak load where a dyneema winch rope is about 1% So once it hit the threshold where it started to move the stretch slung it out
Where I used to live there was a spot in the woods we called the black hole! The only thing I have ever seen, other than ATVs, was a military Hummer. The longest was a Jeep CJ7 sat there, maybe 6 weeks before it was recovered.
You guys down in Florida must be built different. They have the dump trailer parked in water next to the boats 😂 Love the content, considering you do things 100% by the book compared to other RUclips channels 👍
I appreciate you explaining how you’re rigging. What I would like to know is what changes or improvements did you make to your Jeep. Great channel and thanks.
I drove heavy duty wreckers for 25 years. I went out to help a new hire that had got our 2 ton with a Holmes 500 “just stuck off the road” well I come out with a one ton was just gonna winch him back on road. Get there and there’s a Ford F-600 4 wheel drive sticking straight up in the air with two lines running to this lifted 4x4 stuck axle deep. The kid was winching not watching his truck the front lifted high enough to run th wrecker out of gas. I went back got a Century 45 ton ran two to low lines doubled off snatch blocks. You have to be careful because pull either line to hard you roll the truck. Normally I’d just winch the P/U out and wrecker would come down with it but he was still 1/4-1/2 mile behind our truck. It all came out fine but worst part. He quoted the guy $125 dollars for the whole j
New to the channel and I am a gladiator guy, built rig but for rocks here in AZ and I do some recoveries also. I have twin compressors and several tanks, one mounted behind the bumper where the spare was.....37s don't fit underneath well!!! Anyway, i have wanted to put a 9.5K winch underneath in the back, yours is the first I have seen done.....Is there somewhere I can find pics or info about how you mounted it....wiring is not an issue. I like how yours works tho but did not find a video on the build, unless I missed it....Thanks for anything in advance
We failed at 1 Also because they gave bad information Called for a running stuck 9,000 back hoe 3 hours away 13 miles in the woods Got there to a non running 19,000lb machine We brought enough gear for a 9,000lb recovery with help Not enough for a 19,000lb machine without help Although we had enough at the shop we didn’t bring it due to bad information
Your wife or person recording is got to have a good heart. Laughing at this situation this makes others laugh also with you Very good show.I'd like to very much
That’s certainly different than anything else I’ve run across in off road recovery. Would be interested to know what kind of rope you use, as the rest of the country uses Yankum for everything from off road, to farming, to construction,to just about anything needing recovery,but you have an entirely different set of challenges. Going to be following you more.
I need to know how he had that rope wrapped up so that he could pull it apart to extend so easily. Looked like magic. I get 50 feet of rope into so many tangles it’s nearly impossible to get undone.
@@kimthompson1618 if you want to do with extension cords without loops Make a loop in one end Then a standard knot 🪢 It will make a figure 8 knot and now have a loop Then same methods Just pull threw the loop and repeat
As an pacific nw guy, that florida mud confuses me! It looks like its mud but then your boots arent dirty, those spots would be impassable around here but there seems to be traction, crazy, I'd like to experience florida mud before i die!
I was surprised that your jeep was able to pull that swamp buggy out by itself but I’ve seen jeeps go places that pickup trucks couldn’t make it through.
Swamp buggies like this are very common. They get an old chevy 2500 gasser, pull the body off, add the platform and let it run. Gotta tell this guy he needs to invest in some traction devices, like a spool.
It is an arborist rope I think it’s 1/2” Working load limit 8,000lbs -20% due to figure 8 🪢 knot 6400WLL Doubled back 12,800lbs of WLL It stretches a lot more then a winch rope But it is what we had that was long enough for the job

Never ceases to amaze me the size of vehicles you can recover with your jeep just with some knowledge
Im very impressed with your recoveries, they all look pretty difficult. I like that you detail how you rig the lines to get the mechanical advantage to be able to do it with a jeep.

It also had fairly narrow tires for a buggy. The ones I've seen had big balloon tires.
All (almost) is in the winch😂😂😂
And loaded semis and bobcat loaders and just about anything that can get stuck. Matt does a great job with that mini truck.
Swamp Buggy was underpowered and geared wrong

Just goes to show you can make anything a mud truck! It would be cool to start seeing jeeps at mud parks.
Yeah, if that were here in Australia, it wouldn't be getting recovered.
That looks like croc country!
It’s definitely gator 🐊 territory
Luckily it’s cold so they hiding
@@matt.mckinzie wait, you guys get an off season?
Ours are active all year round!
Gators, I'm tripping on gators, crocs, whatever biting giant lizards ya got down there. We don't have that where I'm from.
We got everything 😂
This sure reminds me of the younger mud riding days. Pretty cool stuff though.
As an pacific nw guy, that florida mud confuses me! It looks like its mud but then your boots arent dirty, those spots would be impassable around here but there seems to be traction, crazy, I'd like to experience florida mud before i die!
I'm super jealous of your rig
Insane... I bet that you could recover a stuck tank:)
There was a nice canoe you passed not too far back. Probably easier to borrow that than wade through the muck.
Be a great job for my bombardier 😁
Nice job 👍
How much stretch is in that much rope? Love the work y’all do.
That particular rope is about 10% we had 800 feet so around 80 feet of stretch at full load rating
Just loved the way the buggy popped out of the hole !!
This is real off road recovery!
I was surprised that your jeep was able to pull that swamp buggy out by itself but I’ve seen jeeps go places that pickup trucks couldn’t make it through.
Ok, that’s a seriously BAD ASS Jeep !
Swamp buggies like this are very common. They get an old chevy 2500 gasser, pull the body off, add the platform and let it run. Gotta tell this guy he needs to invest in some traction devices, like a spool.
That's the Florida cousin... Jack in the Swamp or Swamp Jack.
Love the rope extension great idea! What type of rope is it an size?
It is an arborist rope
I think it’s 1/2”
Working load limit 8,000lbs
-20% due to figure 8 🪢 knot
6400WLL
Doubled back 12,800lbs of WLL
It stretches a lot more then a winch rope
But it is what we had that was long enough for the job
