When on a rough 4wd trail, dogs often do better running than they do riding. They can really get tossed around riding, and you will usually be going slow enough that they can easily keep up.
@@Glasti And, as with most simple answers, false. Different dog breeds were created for different purposes. Not all of them make good work animals, a lot really were bred to be pets.
Matt is the best dad ever. To even let his young teenaged son drive the Morvair off road and to allow him to be pulling another vehicle is some super dad confidence that his vehicles and kids are up to the challenge. What an amazing family.
Well that's the norm in the south and where they are plus it's better for them to learn out there than on a city street lol cause we all gotta learn but I was driving tractors at age 5 by myself and driving my dad's truck everyday on our farm since the time I was able to reach the pedals and wheel at the same time plus it was a strait shift too and i was probably 7 or 8 I guess lol
Yes, they are. Most farm families are like that. I was driving a tractor at 8 years old. If something broke, Dad fixed it. If something was extremely difficult, he figured out a better way. Part of being an American.
matt's letting his kids learn by explaining, watching and doing. experience is the best teacher. matt seems to be the kind of dad/teacher that gives his kids just enough responsibility without overwhelming them.
I like the way Matt teaches young people. He gives some guidance and then lets them figure it out. I watched him bring Lizzy into the business that way and now his sons. You are a good teacher Matt.
Great job Rhett! I keep saying this but it's so good to see you guys encouraging and boosting up the younger folks. As someone that grew up with screaming and being cussed at I can promise you, the calm demeanor and teaching will instill a lifetime of love for working and doing things.
Anyone can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father, and Matt seems to be a real man... I was raised with a little of both in my dad/father. I need you to hold this light, no other instruction, not over there, RIGHT HERE would always be his way of teaching, like I was supposed to know exactly where he needed it to shine, after all I wasn't physic but apparently he expected me to be...
@@mjh123crh my Dad was like that sometimes! Just expected you to know what to do.. he admits himself that he's not the best teacher, he thinks if he can do it everyone must automatically be able to do it and gets very confused and frustrated if you can't! We get on great though and I wouldn't be where I am without his guidance
@@mjh123crh mine took out his frustration on me or anyone around him. As a result I hated working on vehicles until just a couple years ago. I discovered that I actually enjoy tinkering on my Jeep when it's not accompanied with slaps in the back of the head. So here I am in my 50's now and teaching myself to mechanic (I learn a lot watching MORR and FabRats).
I know all about yelling and beatings. Best thing that happened for my mom is when the old corksoaker met his maker. I never yell at my wife. I mean sometimes we both have some heated moments...what married couple doesn't...but I refuse to yell at my wife because of the old man. Matt is a real hero of a man. Jamie is the salt of the earth.
Now that my children are grown I mentioned to them that I felt bad about how harsh I had been on them growing up , they all four informed me that they had discussed it often and all four agreed that they are grateful of the way they were raised .
I was again amazed at Matts calm and collective attitude, giving out knowlegde and confidance towards experienced older, and very young people. He is a natural coach I would be willing to follow on any mission he leads.
Matt, being an animal lover I appreciate and think highly of you for taking your dogs out on recoveries to let them run! I’ve watched enough to know that you will give them water when they need it. I know you care about your dogs and take good care of them!!!
Oh man, such an awesome video. I was raised much like Rhett, going and doing everything with my dad. It's so great to see Matt put Rhett in the driver seat on a very tricky, somewhat sketchy recovery even though there were plenty of experienced operators available. And to see him calmly explaining how to and not to do it. Rhett learned a lot and regardless of whether he stays in the recovery field or goes on to "greener pastures", what he learned today will follow him and help him deal with problems in life! Great to see the close family relationships!
Why is Matt's off road so successful, because of you guys and the family dynamics. You guys do a great job with film and editing. There is never any one angry and no bad language. Hats off to the entire crew that puts it all together.
Yeah most likely because all the negativity/drama happens behind the scenes off camera lol. Hence why half the OG crew is no longer around. All we see on this channel are the happy and good highlights which is the way its supposed to be, but don't let that fool you into thinking its all daisy's and rainbows...
@@themaskedmusician4846 Of course he's a good guy. I never said he wasn't. What I did say was that all the drama probably happens when the camera is off.
Two of the dogs look like border collies, who are renowned for being great herders. I recall exercising my brother's dogs - a collie and a retriever; the retriever loved to run, while the collie, even while hundreds of yards ahead of me, kept checking where I was going and if she saw me take a different path, she'd round up the retriever and bring her onto my path.
Border Collies are amazing. I have seen a video where owner let the Husky and Collie roam freely, but when owner whistled, Collie "herded" Husky back to owner
Exactly. Our bearded collie mutt runs free in the woods all the time. Never gets more than 15m away before he auto stops and waits for us to catch up (or runs back at us and blows by to 15m or so behind us and repeats). I love collies!
I had a border collie while growing up. We had an ok size front yard, and every time we'd let her out, she'd run repetitively a huge figure-8 pattern. She was always a great dog. Don't recall she ever actually "ran away" where we had to go find her.....
My old border collie had two settings... full speed, or off. If he got tired, you were sure to know, but you better not try to slow him down until then. People who keep working breeds like aussie shepherds, border collies, and huskies cooped up indoors in a small house / apartment most of the day are the cruel ones. Honestly, it amazes me Ed was able to successfully overfeed a border collie. Mine had high protein food out 24/7 and the vet still said he could use a couple more pounds on him. 😆
This video should be compulsory for anyone getting off road in that terrain. I suggest that we saw just how good Matt is in a very difficult situation -dug really deep into his whole repertoire of skills. Superb job.
I love your channel, you’all feel like family to me. No bs, no cussing, no horsing around, just getting the job done without the drama. Keep up the great work Matt and company !!!!
I think Rhett did really well for his firsttime dragging, he was obviously a bit unsure and kept stopping as he isn't used to the feeling of a vehicle on a rope holding him back, it was nice to see Jamie working in the garage too, a really good wife and mother.
It looks like Casey ladelles "father in law". I think it's a stages rescues. These RUclips towing guys have a scam going. Ladelles literally plants. Ehicles and has his family members pretend to be the victim. This guy who is the victim in Matt's video looks the same. 😅
Matt, you are hard working, patient, intelligent, fair minded,funny, a great dad and husband, an excellent leader and trainer of youth, and overall the kind of exemplary person that this world needs many more of, RESPECT MAN!!! Lovey'all a friend in Alberta Canada🙏👍🚙😉
Good job Rhett! Most people don't realize how working through stressful/complicated tasks like this is so important in all aspects of life later on. Being able to break tasks down like this, focusing on one step at a time, while under pressure will pay dividends for the rest of this young man's life. I helped my dad repo cars when I was young, and I learned a ton. You had to be quick, but you also had to be thorough. Missing a step could lead to disaster.
That on board air pump is a superb idea, perhaps Matt should get one - especially on the wrecker 😄 I love the way the dogs jump in the water, they have a superb life with Matt and the crew.
@@martylawson1638 The little battery powered pumps are not much faster than a hand pump. I saw someone with a inverter and a pancake compressor the other day. That is a much faster option, but you need to keep the engine running while doing that or you might have a problem.
@@harpintn totally agree. I have a problem rim that keeps leaking at random moments (but NEVER while I'm testing it) 😒 so I have two 12v pumps in the car.
Those guys seemed so grateful at the end, very nice to see some gratitude for what your crew does, I think they understood how big of a job that was whereas most rental weekend wheelers have no idea what it entails and don't understand what goes into a recovery like that.
Yeah! Also, I feel that much of what they’re grateful for is being treated like part of the recovery crew and not like a dumba$$ for getting stuck/broken. Matt has a great attitude toward his customers.
I love the way you trust the dogs and the young uns to take responsibility. That way they grow up strong and are not held back from maturity. Good work.
To Matt... I loved the way you talked to your son... 'This is how it should happen" but if it doesn't work out we will just do it again... Calm assertive energy - That was Awesome!
Rhett! Remember to try and not wrap your thumbs around the steering wheel! Keep it against your hand! The wheel can whip and break your thumbs, especially with those metal bars in it. Great job towing dude!! That was a blast to watch. Can’t wait to try the canyon soon!
I still have to remind myself of this sometimes. I got into a decently nasty crash in February, and before the shock wore off that's all I could think about: "Did I break my thumbs?"
Please. It's how many people have broken their thumbs? Of the 30,000 people who die in car crashes in USA every year, how many broke their thumbs? Maybe one person , one time, a hundred years ago In a model a?
I have to say, Matt is truly remarkable Dad! Not only is he a loving father, but he also serves as a positive influence for his son and an entire team of off-road recovery enthusiasts. His commitment to his family and passion for adventure is truly inspiring. As a dad, he goes above and beyond to ensure his son feels loved, supported, and encouraged. He takes the time to teach valuable life lessons, instilling in his son a sense of responsibility, resilience, and respect for nature. With unwavering patience and guidance, he helps his child grow into a confident, secure, and grounded individual. But it doesn't stop there. Matt extends his positive influence beyond his immediate family. As part of a team of off-road recovery experts, he showcases his exceptional leadership skills and unwavering dedication. Whether it's rescuing stranded vehicles or organizing group events, he brings people together and fosters a strong sense of camaraderie. His expertise and knowledge in off-road recovery are truly impressive. With a calm and collected demeanor, he approaches challenging situations with a level-headedness that inspires trust and confidence in his abilities. He consistently demonstrates his commitment to safety and ensures that everyone involved feels supported and well-prepared. Moreover, Matt’s passion for off-roading and exploration ignites a spark in those around him. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he motivates others to embrace adventure, push their limits, and discover the beauty of the great outdoors. Through his example, he shows that with the right mindset and a supportive team, any obstacle can be overcome. Matt’s exceptional positive influence shines not only on his son but also on the entire team of off-road recovery family, and it is truly commendable. His love, guidance, and passion create a strong foundation for growth, adventure, and lasting memories. His dedication to being a great dad and fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie within his team make him a true role model and someone to be celebrated.
There's a huge difference between apartment/penthouse/condo pampered pup's that only see the dog park and doggo's that actually get a chance to be a real dog. Matt's dog's are real dog's getting their best life. Also thanks for another great vid Matt and his crew.
Hey I am jealous that your dogs get to roam free. I am glad you talked about tracking collars. My wife freaks out the second I give my dogs any slack. Great work on recoveries and having your kids be part of the action.
I am so fired up to build my Travelall and start doing recoveries. I love watching you guys so much. All of it. Not only is it entertaining, it's inspirational. Good people doing good things, with the added bonus of beautifully growling machines.
It has been said throughout the comments but there is no way those dogs are miss treated! They are loved and can't wait for the next run out. Haters are going to hate, happiest dogs in the world, no orders being barked at them and they do everything right. Rhett, you are the most chilled out young man I have ever seen, great job , your dad will be so proud!
About your wonderful, happy and lucky dogs, there's also the fact that they can hear and smell you way better than a human can, so unless you're a REAL distance from them, they never lose track of y'all!! Keep em running - they so clearly enjoy it...
Great to see a Dad and Son being patient with each other teaching and learning. Great job from both of you. Also love seeing the dogs enjoying themselves out in the wilderness.
What a great life those dogs have, way better than going to work everyday and leaving them at home, dogs just love coming along for the ride, running and just being with their owner
One of my favorite recoveries to date! Excellent team work! Rhett, you are a natural leader and one heck of a cool head. I couldn`t do what you just did. I`m impressed and curious to see where this will lead you in the future. you are certainly getting a great education of cause and effect.
Nice to see Rhett learning the ropes in a situation where there was a lot of help around if something went sideways. Everyone did great, and another successful recovery completed on a dead stick Jeep!
A good way to remove those cactuses is to find a flexible/green branch that makes a Y. Use the “top” two parts of the Y branch to squeeze the cactus, then grabbing both top and bottom of “Y” branch for stability, pull the cactus off
A pocket comb works great also. That's what we used on our retriever during our desert walks. And on ourselves, too. There's a cactus called a jumping cactus and if you get too close to it....look out! LOL
Hey Matt just a comment from a dog trainer on your dogs I think it's great how you take them on recoveries and let them Free run you have obviously taught them the most simple thing dogs know how to do and that's follow the leader
Great Job Rhett! Good thing that one truck had an air compressor. I have a Viair compressor mounted under my truck with a quick connect fitting under the rear bumper. It doesn't add much weight and it is so handy. I have even operated my impact wrench off of it. Of course, the impact wrench empties the 2 1/2 gallon tank pretty fast, but it gets the job done. You guys should add one to the Banana and Morvair.
@@RealJeep It's insane that Matt does this job and doesn't have certain equipment, all my vehicles have an air compressor etc.. for emergencies. Matt showing up with no way to inflate a tire is just negligence.
Wow look at Rhett doing these recoverys and learning the ropes! Matt's recovery crew did a good job getting this Jeep out after getting swamped in the creek. Good job 👍
3:18 "I made a bad decision." Anybody who starts an explanation with that gains a massive amount of respect and credibility. Sure, it is possible to be too hard on yourself about it, but it is never wrong to admit a mistake was made. We all make them more often than we'd like.
People don`t realize how stressful it is towing a vehicle out of those areas all while trying not to damage them further. For Rhetts first time, I think he kept it pretty calm and followed directions well. Best way to learn is by doing it!
Been catching up on all of your videos, total RUclips binge watching. The production value is incredible, props to all the camera folks that catch this action on the trail and the editors.
matt is not just teaching people recovery skills but he is also building confident to the young. first lizzy then rhett. love that matt said if it not working, it is okay to try again. failure is just a learning process.
That was awesome, what an amazing journey into some incredibly beautiful country. It was so cool to see so much of your family out there with you, all enjoying the experience together. Rhett did great, Karter held in there and I bet Justin had a fun time driving as well. Great camera work by you all. Thanks for taking us along.
@@nancypelosi9141 Well, she could have been bitten by a rattlesnake and died, so I think stepping on a cactus is not something to grieve over. Cheer up.
Rhett (I hope I spelt that right) has alot of mechanical sympathy! It's nice to see him being soo gentle with the morrvair. I look forward to seeing him on more recoverys
People are like "How can your dogs hear a train of V8s full of people on 35 to 50 inch tires rolling down a bumpy trail in 4 low in the middle of nowhere well enough to stay close?"
Pro tip from years of mountain biking in the desert - carry a pocket comb. They make getting cholla and other cactus heads out of the skin super easy. Carry on the great work!
Matt, I use walkie-talkie's regularly in my part-time job. You are correct, you will eventually lose or misplace one. One thing that can mitigate that eventuality is to place a small decal securely on each of them with your name and a number to call if they are found. I am confident that anyone in your area of operations that does find one will also likely know of Matt's Off Road Recovery and be eager to return them to you. 👍
Hey Matt my son and I have been playing the video game “Snowrunner” and it’s basically your job with towing trucks and off-roading and I think you should reach out to the game makers and get them to make a Utah expansion pack with your rescue trucks. Anyway you and your team rocks!!
Your dogs love going out on rescues and being able to go out on the roads ahead and blaze the trail somewhat…. I truly enjoy watching the dogs going out into the field with you, and not depend to much on you for clues and suggestions on what they should be doing differently as you recover the vehicle…. It’s fantastic watching the dogs in their performance on board the various rigs…
I’ve lived with dogs in the country and love how you let them run free. A country dog learns fast. My only concern is when you’re welding in the shop with them around. Do they instinctively know to look away?
Hi Matt and Gang, its really nice to see that you are bringing the young ones on Lizzy is brilliant at anything she touches and seeing Rhett doing his bit is a credit to you Matt. A lot of people wont give the young ones a chance how will they learn anything if you dont SPOT ON MATT, Keep em coming, lots of love to you all from the Yorkshire Gang from England and also the Nugget Tea shirt and the sticker is brilliant.
I am only a few minutes into the video but I had to stop because I noticed how great a care you take to make sure that the viewers see that your dogs are loved and taken care of and as safe as a dog can really be and still be free. I appreciate what you're doing Matt for these viewers who somehow think your dogs might be being mistreated. I have a Blue Heeler and he has been all around in the mountains of Colorado and out in the desert in Arizona dogs learn how to manage with different terrains and environments and especially with the help that it's obvious that you give to your dogs. I hope people will notice and leave you alone about your dogs I can tell that they're well loved and well taken care of. Besides that ...I really enjoy your videos... you guys are awesome.
I liked this video, it showed a glimpse that the off road people out there, are fairly prepared, see all that gear in the jeep and the Nissan had a pretty cool air compressor system. And still ran into a break down. not likely to ever be in this area or state, but people all over watch the videos, maybe someday, can do a video on just a few things, people should have with them when they go off reading. As I'm sure, the videos inspire more to go off roading.
Nice to see you finally using a radio. If you want to step up your game another level, get some in-cab mobile radios with beefier antennas installed on the recovery vehicles along with the handhelds, this will allow you to more easily communicate over longer distances while in convoy without having to worry about cell phone coverage. And you can also use it to communicate while doing a recovery by having the spotter and person in the recovered vehicle with handhelds and the driver of the recovery vehicle with the mobile, so you don't have to shout over engine or environmental noise. This is the way we usually operate here in South Africa when we go off-roading or camping, as the cell coverage is non existent in the more remote areas we like to go. It's hard to overstate how much the ability to communicate clearly helps in general, but especially in recovery situations or when off-roading in a unfamiliar location.
Hey Matt, I’d love a video going over each vehicle…the axles in them, the gears, lockers, engine, trans, etc etc. would also be cool to see any mods you made to improve recoveries.
Had the same problem and was attacking it same way - anti-seize lubricant, vice grips, pliers, short of considering using a hacksaw. The diagonal cutters immediately were able to move the screw breaking the seized screw. Took a bit more patience to get the rest of the way. Purchased hex head replacements as well. One thing of note, the last time I changed the brakes was just after the winter season, so surprised that it was frozen. Noted that the pin had signs of heat scorching, so may have been an issue of high heat due to braking. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greatly appreciated.
Yes it shocks people when dogs are trained off leash and can think for themselves. They still need some help once in a while but that’s why the dogs bring you along.
Love seeing this recovery and letting the young one lead the way on it. At the risk of being the wet blanket I would love to see the wisdom of a seatbelt being passed on along with all of the other great advice and lessons. All in all awesome stuff Matt.
Some people think that would applies to them applies to everybody. They don't understand that sometimes things like "seatbelts" are actually a detriment?
@Brandon Koff Trust that I understand the benefits of seatbelt use. I also know when they can be a detriment, but those instances are very infrequent. Nothing in this video represents a moment where seatbelt use would be detrimental. Not to mention that vehicle setup lends itself to those belts as they built it properly. What's really the bigger issue is minimizing the use of something that takes mear seconds to apply, but can have huge repercussions if not used in even a slow speed incident off-road. Ultimately, you choose to do you, and with that, you choose the risks that come along with that choice.
When you break stuff on the recovery vehicles, could you possibly sign some of the smaller parts and send them out with merch orders? It would be cool to have a piece of the rigs. Love you all and all the videos.
For me the highlight of this trip was watching Rhett take the lead recovery position and slay it. This was the most edge-of-the-seat episode in hoping he would triumph, and he did. I know there's been more dangerous and sketchy recoveries, but this was Rhett's day to shine. He's always such a cheerful and hard-working kid I was going to suggest his nickname should be Smiley. But after his performance here I think he deserves an upgrade to Smiley!
Mat, and your crew. I want to come back as one of your dogs in my next life. My 11.5yr old Dobe still loves to go to woods. Never been lost, and in his youth was (almost) always infront. Real dog peeps KNOW, how good your pack has it.
Sure miss Trevor but looking forward I love to see Matts son grow up. ‼️WE NEED DADS TO STEP UP ‼️ I am a construction manager can’t tell how feminine young men are, we need to nurture them into wholesome manhood stuff GOD SPEED
one good thing with matt is he don't keep popular people for views, he develop them and let them go to their own direction and bring in new faces. one day lizzy will go on her way too. will be sad but it is the right thing to do.
I like that compressor on the toyota thats pretty neat, looks clean too not super invasive. Also those dogs are way happier and healthier running them like that, its as if people forgot what big dogs were meant for in the first place.
Rhett will be an absolute legend in the recovery industry by the time he's 21. His confidence is amazing and giving him the opportunity to really capitalize on that is super fun to watch. This definitely isn't the typical father teaching his kid how to use the lawnmower. 😂
Love the way you guys get on like one big family. Nice 'temporary' repair, needs must when you have work to do and can't wait for parts to arrive. Great work.
Wow some badass driving from Rhett big ups to the whole crew top notch very professional job thanks Tom Tom for all your camera skills welcome to the family officially being a local ♥️🙏💪
This was like the ultimate MORR video. Really good. Nice job to Rhett on his driving towing the other vehicle. Seemed like he really had a good sense of where the tow vehicle was. Man would I love to go wheeling with you guys!

Well that's the norm in the south and where they are plus it's better for them to learn out there than on a city street lol cause we all gotta learn but I was driving tractors at age 5 by myself and driving my dad's truck everyday on our farm since the time I was able to reach the pedals and wheel at the same time plus it was a strait shift too and i was probably 7 or 8 I guess lol

Got er' done..
I like the way Matt teaches young people. He gives some guidance and then lets them figure it out. I watched him bring Lizzy into the business that way and now his sons. You are a good teacher Matt.
Lizzy will be missed. God Bless and watch over her. She is an Awesome young Lady. Wish I could weld as good as her.
I like Matt's patience in these rescues. Passing down his knowledge to the next generation - making dads proud everywhere!
Even when everything goes wrong he's cool as a cucumber lol
It's the best way to do a recovery: rush is never a good decision!

I recall exercising my brother's dogs - a collie and a retriever; the retriever loved to run, while the collie, even while hundreds of yards ahead of me, kept checking where I was going and if she saw me take a different path, she'd round up the retriever and bring her onto my path.
Border Collies are amazing. I have seen a video where owner let the Husky and Collie roam freely, but when owner whistled, Collie "herded" Husky back to owner
That’s what Lady does to Max.
Exactly. Our bearded collie mutt runs free in the woods all the time. Never gets more than 15m away before he auto stops and waits for us to catch up (or runs back at us and blows by to 15m or so behind us and repeats). I love collies!
I had a border collie while growing up. We had an ok size front yard, and every time we'd let her out, she'd run repetitively a huge figure-8 pattern. She was always a great dog. Don't recall she ever actually "ran away" where we had to go find her.....
My old border collie had two settings... full speed, or off. If he got tired, you were sure to know, but you better not try to slow him down until then.
People who keep working breeds like aussie shepherds, border collies, and huskies cooped up indoors in a small house / apartment most of the day are the cruel ones.
Honestly, it amazes me Ed was able to successfully overfeed a border collie. Mine had high protein food out 24/7 and the vet still said he could use a couple more pounds on him. 😆
This video should be compulsory for anyone getting off road in that terrain. I suggest that we saw just how good Matt is in a very difficult situation -dug really deep into his whole repertoire of skills. Superb job.
I love your channel, you’all feel like family to me. No bs, no cussing, no horsing around, just getting the job done without the drama. Keep up the great work Matt and company !!!!
I just wanna say that Rhet is one amazing boy, how old is he anyway, he is a credit to you Matt and your wonderful family.
I think Rhett did really well for his firsttime dragging, he was obviously a bit unsure and kept stopping as he isn't used to the feeling of a vehicle on a rope holding him back, it was nice to see Jamie working in the garage too, a really good wife and mother.
Rhett has definitely inherited Matt's calmness
It looks like Casey ladelles "father in law". I think it's a stages rescues. These RUclips towing guys have a scam going. Ladelles literally plants. Ehicles and has his family members pretend to be the victim. This guy who is the victim in Matt's video looks the same. 😅
Just so you would notice
@@sasquatchrosefarts Sounds like you should drop by the shop and see for yourself. Lol
Matt, you are hard working, patient, intelligent, fair minded,funny, a great dad and husband, an excellent leader and trainer of youth, and overall the kind of exemplary person that this world needs many more of, RESPECT MAN!!! Lovey'all a friend in Alberta Canada🙏👍🚙😉
Good job Rhett! Most people don't realize how working through stressful/complicated tasks like this is so important in all aspects of life later on. Being able to break tasks down like this, focusing on one step at a time, while under pressure will pay dividends for the rest of this young man's life. I helped my dad repo cars when I was young, and I learned a ton. You had to be quick, but you also had to be thorough. Missing a step could lead to disaster.
That's dog heaven, run play sniff run jump in the water and run again
That on board air pump is a superb idea, perhaps Matt should get one - especially on the wrecker 😄
I love the way the dogs jump in the water, they have a superb life with Matt and the crew.
or get a Powertank
Or at least carry a bike pump. Take forever, but will still get the job done.
@@martylawson1638 The little battery powered pumps are not much faster than a hand pump. I saw someone with a inverter and a pancake compressor the other day. That is a much faster option, but you need to keep the engine running while doing that or you might have a problem.
@@harpintn totally agree. I have a problem rim that keeps leaking at random moments (but NEVER while I'm testing it) 😒 so I have two 12v pumps in the car.
I believe that for the young man's first recovery - he did an excellent job. You should be proud of him!
Those guys seemed so grateful at the end, very nice to see some gratitude for what your crew does, I think they understood how big of a job that was whereas most rental weekend wheelers have no idea what it entails and don't understand what goes into a recovery like that.
That is for sure 👌
Yeah! Also, I feel that much of what they’re grateful for is being treated like part of the recovery crew and not like a dumba$$ for getting stuck/broken. Matt has a great attitude toward his customers.
I love the way you trust the dogs and the young uns to take responsibility. That way they grow up strong and are not held back from maturity. Good work.
To Matt... I loved the way you talked to your son... 'This is how it should happen" but if it doesn't work out we will just do it again... Calm assertive energy - That was Awesome!
Letting Rhett drive and pull is awesome!! I’m sure that is the best feeling for him
wait... doesn't every 15-yr-old get to do that?
@@worms1 the world would be a better place
Rhett! Remember to try and not wrap your thumbs around the steering wheel! Keep it against your hand! The wheel can whip and break your thumbs, especially with those metal bars in it. Great job towing dude!! That was a blast to watch. Can’t wait to try the canyon soon!
I still have to remind myself of this sometimes.
I got into a decently nasty crash in February, and before the shock wore off that's all I could think about: "Did I break my thumbs?"
Please. It's how many people have broken their thumbs? Of the 30,000 people who die in car crashes in USA every year, how many broke their thumbs? Maybe one person , one time, a hundred years ago In a model a?
@@sasquatchrosefarts Ones enough if it’s you.
@sasquatchrosefarts9131 were those accidents off road ?
@@sasquatchrosefarts right? How many people have ever suffered a broke thumb? I feel it’s an old wives tale.
I have to say, Matt is truly remarkable Dad! Not only is he a loving father, but he also serves as a positive influence for his son and an entire team of off-road recovery enthusiasts. His commitment to his family and passion for adventure is truly inspiring.
As a dad, he goes above and beyond to ensure his son feels loved, supported, and encouraged. He takes the time to teach valuable life lessons, instilling in his son a sense of responsibility, resilience, and respect for nature. With unwavering patience and guidance, he helps his child grow into a confident, secure, and grounded individual.
But it doesn't stop there. Matt extends his positive influence beyond his immediate family. As part of a team of off-road recovery experts, he showcases his exceptional leadership skills and unwavering dedication. Whether it's rescuing stranded vehicles or organizing group events, he brings people together and fosters a strong sense of camaraderie.
His expertise and knowledge in off-road recovery are truly impressive. With a calm and collected demeanor, he approaches challenging situations with a level-headedness that inspires trust and confidence in his abilities. He consistently demonstrates his commitment to safety and ensures that everyone involved feels supported and well-prepared.
Moreover, Matt’s passion for off-roading and exploration ignites a spark in those around him. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he motivates others to embrace adventure, push their limits, and discover the beauty of the great outdoors. Through his example, he shows that with the right mindset and a supportive team, any obstacle can be overcome.
Matt’s exceptional positive influence shines not only on his son but also on the entire team of off-road recovery family, and it is truly commendable. His love, guidance, and passion create a strong foundation for growth, adventure, and lasting memories. His dedication to being a great dad and fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie within his team make him a true role model and someone to be celebrated.
Rhett looked like he’s been doing this for 20 years! Great job buddy. You are a natural!!!!
There's a huge difference between apartment/penthouse/condo pampered pup's that only see the dog park and doggo's that actually get a chance to be a real dog. Matt's dog's are real dog's getting their best life. Also thanks for another great vid Matt and his crew.
Hey I am jealous that your dogs get to roam free. I am glad you talked about tracking collars. My wife freaks out the second I give my dogs any slack.
Great work on recoveries and having your kids be part of the action.
Great work ethics.
@@jig88 Great name 👍🏼🌿
Where did he say anything about tracking collars?
@@Dan23_7 ty Dan come visit if you like.
@@jig88 What do you mean ?
I am so fired up to build my Travelall and start doing recoveries. I love watching you guys so much. All of it.
Not only is it entertaining, it's inspirational. Good people doing good things, with the added bonus of beautifully growling machines.
It has been said throughout the comments but there is no way those dogs are miss treated! They are loved and can't wait for the next run out. Haters are going to hate, happiest dogs in the world, no orders being barked at them and they do everything right. Rhett, you are the most chilled out young man I have ever seen, great job , your dad will be so proud!
About your wonderful, happy and lucky dogs, there's also the fact that they can hear and smell you way better than a human can, so unless you're a REAL distance from them, they never lose track of y'all!! Keep em running - they so clearly enjoy it...
Great to see a Dad and Son being patient with each other teaching and learning. Great job from both of you. Also love seeing the dogs enjoying themselves out in the wilderness.
What a great life those dogs have, way better than going to work everyday and leaving them at home, dogs just love coming along for the ride, running and just being with their owner
Thank you Matt, justin and family for helping us 👏👏💯💯
One of my favorite recoveries to date! Excellent team work! Rhett, you are a natural leader and one heck of a cool head. I couldn`t do what you just did. I`m impressed and curious to see where this will lead you in the future. you are certainly getting a great education of cause and effect.
Nice to see Rhett learning the ropes in a situation where there was a lot of help around if something went sideways. Everyone did great, and another successful recovery completed on a dead stick Jeep!
arb air compressor in the heavy wrecker wouldn’t be a bad idea matt!
I think that's already planned, they were definitely talking about a compressor back at the beginning of the build.
The wrecker has tanks on it so I'd say air is planned already
I believe that it has air brakes. If so, engine driven compressor is part of the package.
@@corwinchristensen260 Or, are the tanks for the air lockers?
@@JT_70 Not sure ... either way, there's air available for tires/tools.
I am always impressed with how much endurance Max has. All bets are off about how long that knuckle holds.
A good way to remove those cactuses is to find a flexible/green branch that makes a Y. Use the “top” two parts of the Y branch to squeeze the cactus, then grabbing both top and bottom of “Y” branch for stability, pull the cactus off
A pocket comb works great also. That's what we used on our retriever during our desert walks. And on ourselves, too. There's a cactus called a jumping cactus and if you get too close to it....look out! LOL
Hey Matt just a comment from a dog trainer on your dogs I think it's great how you take them on recoveries and let them Free run you have obviously taught them the most simple thing dogs know how to do and that's follow the leader
Great Job Rhett! Good thing that one truck had an air compressor. I have a Viair compressor mounted under my truck with a quick connect fitting under the rear bumper. It doesn't add much weight and it is so handy. I have even operated my impact wrench off of it. Of course, the impact wrench empties the 2 1/2 gallon tank pretty fast, but it gets the job done. You guys should add one to the Banana and Morvair.
Rhett, that was an awesome job driving the tow rig. showing great patience and skill.
A air compressor should be the next upgrade for all your rigs
And the welder that Rory has.
@@RealJeep It's insane that Matt does this job and doesn't have certain equipment, all my vehicles have an air compressor etc.. for emergencies. Matt showing up with no way to inflate a tire is just negligence.
MORR is a towing company. Rory's service is mobile mechanic with towing. Matt doesn't have a mechanics shop. Rory does.
Wow look at Rhett doing these recoverys and learning the ropes! Matt's recovery crew did a good job getting this Jeep out after getting swamped in the creek. Good job 👍
Learning the ropes. Get it? Hahah
3:18 "I made a bad decision." Anybody who starts an explanation with that gains a massive amount of respect and credibility. Sure, it is possible to be too hard on yourself about it, but it is never wrong to admit a mistake was made. We all make them more often than we'd like.
People don`t realize how stressful it is towing a vehicle out of those areas all while trying not to damage them further. For Rhetts first time, I think he kept it pretty calm and followed directions well. Best way to learn is by doing it!
Rhett seems like a cool kid. He’s got his chill going. Doesn’t seem phased by anything. Thanks for the video.
Been catching up on all of your videos, total RUclips binge watching. The production value is incredible, props to all the camera folks that catch this action on the trail and the editors.
matt is not just teaching people recovery skills but he is also building confident to the young. first lizzy then rhett. love that matt said if it not working, it is okay to try again. failure is just a learning process.
That was awesome, what an amazing journey into some incredibly beautiful country. It was so cool to see so much of your family out there with you, all enjoying the experience together. Rhett did great, Karter held in there and I bet Justin had a fun time driving as well. Great camera work by you all. Thanks for taking us along.
My goodness ! Ed is in his glory now..can yous imagine a younger Ed..he would never back down..always get em out !
That's the first trail fix on a dog i have ever seen. 😂✌
😂
Poor puppy 🥺
@@nancypelosi9141 Well, she could have been bitten by a rattlesnake and died, so I think stepping on a cactus is not something to grieve over. Cheer up.
Rhett (I hope I spelt that right) has alot of mechanical sympathy! It's nice to see him being soo gentle with the morrvair. I look forward to seeing him on more recoverys
People are like "How can your dogs hear a train of V8s full of people on 35 to 50 inch tires rolling down a bumpy trail in 4 low in the middle of nowhere well enough to stay close?"
Pro tip from years of mountain biking in the desert - carry a pocket comb. They make getting cholla and other cactus heads out of the skin super easy. Carry on the great work!
Matt, I use walkie-talkie's regularly in my part-time job. You are correct, you will eventually lose or misplace one. One thing that can mitigate that eventuality is to place a small decal securely on each of them with your name and a number to call if they are found. I am confident that anyone in your area of operations that does find one will also likely know of Matt's Off Road Recovery and be eager to return them to you. 👍
Now Thats an off-road recovery! Great work kid, and good on you Matt for teaching and letting the next generation get in on the action!
Hey Matt my son and I have been playing the video game “Snowrunner” and it’s basically your job with towing trucks and off-roading and I think you should reach out to the game makers and get them to make a Utah expansion pack with your rescue trucks. Anyway you and your team rocks!!
Considering the trail that was a pretty smooth recovery!! Nice job to every one and especially to Rhett for his first time pulling one!! Great job!!!
Your dogs love going out on rescues and being able to go out on the roads ahead and blaze the trail somewhat…. I truly enjoy watching the dogs going out into the field with you, and not depend to much on you for clues and suggestions on what they should be doing differently as you recover the vehicle…. It’s fantastic watching the dogs in their performance on board the various rigs…
I’ve lived with dogs in the country and love how you let them run free. A country dog learns fast. My only concern is when you’re welding in the shop with them around. Do they instinctively know to look away?
Hi Matt and Gang, its really nice to see that you are bringing the young ones on Lizzy is brilliant at anything she touches and seeing Rhett doing his bit is a credit to you Matt. A lot of people wont give the young ones a chance how will they learn anything if you dont SPOT ON MATT, Keep em coming, lots of love to you all from the Yorkshire Gang from England and also the Nugget Tea shirt and the sticker is brilliant.
I am only a few minutes into the video but I had to stop because I noticed how great a care you take to make sure that the viewers see that your dogs are loved and taken care of and as safe as a dog can really be and still be free.
I appreciate what you're doing Matt for these viewers who somehow think your dogs might be being mistreated.
I have a Blue Heeler and he has been all around in the mountains of Colorado and out in the desert in Arizona dogs learn how to manage with different terrains and environments and especially with the help that it's obvious that you give to your dogs.
I hope people will notice and leave you alone about your dogs I can tell that they're well loved and well taken care of.
Besides that ...I really enjoy your videos... you guys are awesome.
That was a crazy recovery with a lot of planning to get it out! Good job Matt and all your crew members!
I liked this video, it showed a glimpse that the off road people out there, are fairly prepared, see all that gear in the jeep and the Nissan had a pretty cool air compressor system. And still ran into a break down. not likely to ever be in this area or state, but people all over watch the videos, maybe someday, can do a video on just a few things, people should have with them when they go off reading. As I'm sure, the videos inspire more to go off roading.
Nice to see you finally using a radio. If you want to step up your game another level, get some in-cab mobile radios with beefier antennas installed on the recovery vehicles along with the handhelds, this will allow you to more easily communicate over longer distances while in convoy without having to worry about cell phone coverage. And you can also use it to communicate while doing a recovery by having the spotter and person in the recovered vehicle with handhelds and the driver of the recovery vehicle with the mobile, so you don't have to shout over engine or environmental noise. This is the way we usually operate here in South Africa when we go off-roading or camping, as the cell coverage is non existent in the more remote areas we like to go. It's hard to overstate how much the ability to communicate clearly helps in general, but especially in recovery situations or when off-roading in a unfamiliar location.
Thanks Matt and the whole team , this is just great to watch , your fan from Brazil
Rhett did a fantastic job! Matt passing his knowledge to his kids is great. Pretty awesome rescue all the way through.
I'm truly impressed by Rhetts driving for the first time towing a vehicle! Like always...Great teamwork. Aloha from Hawaii! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey Matt, I’d love a video going over each vehicle…the axles in them, the gears, lockers, engine, trans, etc etc. would also be cool to see any mods you made to improve recoveries.
For your first time you did an excellent job young man. Matt I didn't think that weld had a chance I'm impressed.
Had the same problem and was attacking it same way - anti-seize lubricant, vice grips, pliers, short of considering using a hacksaw. The diagonal cutters immediately were able to move the screw breaking the seized screw. Took a bit more patience to get the rest of the way. Purchased hex head replacements as well. One thing of note, the last time I changed the brakes was just after the winter season, so surprised that it was frozen. Noted that the pin had signs of heat scorching, so may have been an issue of high heat due to braking. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greatly appreciated.
I think we've figured out a way to go wheelin' with Matt and crew. Dump a jeep way out on a trail and then head out with them on the recovery.😁
Yes it shocks people when dogs are trained off leash and can think for themselves. They still need some help once in a while but that’s why the dogs bring you along.
Love seeing this recovery and letting the young one lead the way on it. At the risk of being the wet blanket I would love to see the wisdom of a seatbelt being passed on along with all of the other great advice and lessons. All in all awesome stuff Matt.
When you're wheeling like they are a seatbelt hurts. Get going 25mph or more? Sure wear a seatbelt.
Some people think that would applies to them applies to everybody. They don't understand that sometimes things like "seatbelts" are actually a detriment?
@Brandon Koff Trust that I understand the benefits of seatbelt use. I also know when they can be a detriment, but those instances are very infrequent. Nothing in this video represents a moment where seatbelt use would be detrimental. Not to mention that vehicle setup lends itself to those belts as they built it properly. What's really the bigger issue is minimizing the use of something that takes mear seconds to apply, but can have huge repercussions if not used in even a slow speed incident off-road. Ultimately, you choose to do you, and with that, you choose the risks that come along with that choice.
Your son did a really good job! Your dogs are truly adorable and well behaved! You can easily tell they're happy and well cared for!
When you break stuff on the recovery vehicles, could you possibly sign some of the smaller parts and send them out with merch orders? It would be cool to have a piece of the rigs. Love you all and all the videos.
Matt is the best dad, raising great sons. Well done, sir.
For me the highlight of this trip was watching Rhett take the lead recovery position and slay it. This was the most edge-of-the-seat episode in hoping he would triumph, and he did. I know there's been more dangerous and sketchy recoveries, but this was Rhett's day to shine.
He's always such a cheerful and hard-working kid I was going to suggest his nickname should be Smiley. But after his performance here I think he deserves an upgrade to Smiley!
Fantastic job TomTom and Rhett! Making it look easy! 😊🤘🏻
Mat, and your crew. I want to come back as one of your dogs in my next life. My 11.5yr old Dobe still loves to go to woods. Never been lost, and in his youth was (almost) always infront. Real dog peeps KNOW, how good your pack has it.
Matt really takes good care of his dogs. I love dogs too and happy to see them enjoying crew's outings.
the composure rhet has while doing these rescues is insane id be scared to mess something up!
When Matt's kids officially take over the business I am here for it... with Matt coming in as "Ed" on occasion.
its a shame that Trevor is not there, but having TomTom is a great addition! I like that guy... and Rhett did an awesome job.
Sure miss Trevor but looking forward I love to see Matts son grow up. ‼️WE NEED DADS TO STEP UP ‼️ I am a construction manager can’t tell how feminine young men are, we need to nurture them into wholesome manhood stuff GOD SPEED
@@Jamesjghome is it cause you're gay. its ok. 2022. its all good
@@russellv6234 what an idiotic comment!
one good thing with matt is he don't keep popular people for views, he develop them and let them go to their own direction and bring in new faces. one day lizzy will go on her way too. will be sad but it is the right thing to do.
@Jamesjghome oh brother. We need 'dads to step up' get over yourself.
I like that compressor on the toyota thats pretty neat, looks clean too not super invasive. Also those dogs are way happier and healthier running them like that, its as if people forgot what big dogs were meant for in the first place.
Dogs that have freedom are much better behaved then dogs that are locked in a fenced backyard all day long. Great video!
ALL THESE UTAH BOYS ARE GREAT AT WHAT THEY DO! They make it look so easy, especially with their home built rigs…they’re all powerful and agile.
Great first time recovery Rhett. Great job Matt and TomTom on the guidance of the youngin. Great Video 🤙😎
Rhett will be an absolute legend in the recovery industry by the time he's 21. His confidence is amazing and giving him the opportunity to really capitalize on that is super fun to watch. This definitely isn't the typical father teaching his kid how to use the lawnmower. 😂
That was awesome, I really enjoyed it !! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!!
Love the way you guys get on like one big family. Nice 'temporary' repair, needs must when you have work to do and can't wait for parts to arrive. Great work.
Rhett did fairly decent for his first time flat towing on a rough road.
Always educational and entertaining, but this time? Some of the best footage and coverage you guys have ever done. Love it.
Wow some badass driving from Rhett big ups to the whole crew top notch very professional job thanks Tom Tom for all your camera skills welcome to the family officially being a local ♥️🙏💪
It's so cool to see Matt teaching this son. Love the father and son time 👍
This was like the ultimate MORR video. Really good. Nice job to Rhett on his driving towing the other vehicle. Seemed like he really had a good sense of where the tow vehicle was.
Man would I love to go wheeling with you guys!
