We have learned from past jobs in this exact hole That it’s not as easy as it looks And this quick sand is no joke So we came prepared and knew to rig for a hard pull the first time around
You make this stuff look incredibly easy! I've been watching all the major recovery channels for about 1.5yrs now. Let's just say Matt's off road recovery and some others could learn from you when it comes to getting vehicles out of bad situations like this one when it's suctioned in. I've seen channels use 2-4 vehicles and snatching blocking off trees, etc, or saying how the boom is the only good option to break suction. I have Soo much respect for you and your talents, as you are the only channel that has a single jeep, single person crew (and your wife for filming of course) manage to accomplish what the others do with 5x the equipment, 5x the staff, and major struggles. You just roll in with a single rig, think out how to do the rigging and snatch it out. I'm impressed! Keep up the good work!
All I have to say is this young man I’ve been watching your videos for at least three years you do amazing work I do similar stuff than you but only a side work and I live in Virginia I never would’ve thought a jeep gladiator could do the things I’ve watched you do with that jeep that’s all I have to say keep doing what you’re doing young man you make me proud so I know your father is!!!! You just show that anything can be accomplished with the right mindset if you’re ever near Virginia I live in a place called Glennallen I would love to show you some southern hospitality sir!!!
yeah the computers are soaked it's a right off the electronics are done to expensive to replace all the wiring and computers in it better off getting a new one
The land anchor is pretty cool, when I was in South America, we used to have to bury a tire. While that sounds pretty easy, it's not. I also really love the tethered chock blocks, simple ideas like that, really make the recoveries go a lot smoother than they could. I know I have at least one chock Block still buried in the mud up on a mountain trail somewhere.
I used to subscribe to most of the recovery channels on here but I have unsubscribed them all except you because the rest are either incompetent and or exploiting people and their arrogance goes unchallenged. You on the other hand are the real deal and your skill is unsurpassed. Great channel showing true skills.
Same here. They think they're RUclips content stars and have turned into buffoons. The brainless watch them so they'll keep their channel. Matt's (FL) all about the job and not clowning around.
Mud & quicksand slow & steady pressure I've seen too many people hurt because they try to do by yanking them out and break all kinds of things that go flying all-over
I can tell you this if you have the right people filming your videos in the right commentary you would be bigger than Matt off road recovery and you’re going to get there one day because you do a lot better work with a lot less equipment Respect love and thunder from Virginia!!!
I watch them both, as long as you get the client out, the job is done. Honestly, I prefer winching, because I've never been one for using snatch straps. Mostly because of the terrain I'm used to. @@hhl31636
One time car insurance totaled a vehicle of mine…. Considered totaled at 50% of the value of vehicle. They paid me full value of vehicle. Took possession of vehicle… then found out where they took it to auction. Bought it in auction at 25% of the value. Repaired it…. And walked with 25% of what the insurance company paid me in my pocket.
Finally I have found a recovery channel that uses physics to their advantage instead of hooking up one winch direct to a load and complaining about how recovering vehicles is stressing their equipment.
I had one of those factory tow hooks snap off once, until that moment i had never seen a snatch block float through the air, thankfully hit the boom. Great job!

I had my truck stuck in this exact same hole! You think it's a puddle but it's several feet deep. I still have a dent on my front bumper from this. That's the 206 bridge south of St Augustine. I should have put a flag in that hole because it's been more than just the two of us!

excellent work! Are we really better off with modern tech? My old '78 4x4 with manual hubs, manual trans and transfer case, would have just had to dry off after, no fuss with the water immersion except maybe to repack bearings and change fluids, but you could have driven it away from the site.
I have an identical white F150, how sad this one is now totaled. It looks like it was in great shape too, no rust issues at the cab corners or rockers. I wonder if it wound up at a copart……
Hey new to your channel!! Never saw that land hook !! That thing was in there tight but you pulled that with raw unbridled power!!! Never saw snatch blocks used like that!! Good job!!😍😍😍
But it’s still totaled. Wouldn’t be the hardest job but it would not be quick & that “experienced tech” by all rights should cost more. Not worth it when there’s literally a million f-150s out there that don’t have those problems
Awesome work! I do a lot of flounder gigging and am very much responsible for getting myself out of sand ramps in the middle of the night. Based on what I just saw, is the land anchor something I want to add to my arsenal of get out tricks?
Thank you for responding. Had a friend completely lose a truck at launch (low tide) by the time he got it recovered. It sounds/looks like a fairly inexpensive insurance policy!! Good work! @@matt.mckinzie
Question :- Why pull it out in a forward direction ,! Surely it would come out quicker & easier by pulling it out backwards opposite to the way it went IN , rather than pull it through the deep mud in front of it ?
What was the point of running the front winch line back under the truck? Could have gotten the same mechanical advantage terminating the 4:1 at the rear bumper and a better angle for an upward pull.
Jeep would have slid more The anchor out front added resistance to the system allowing us to pull more It slid both the Jeep and the anchoring during this pull Without the extra help from the anchor we would have slid all the way to the ford
@@matt.mckinzie Using the anchor up front was definitely needed, but why not just terminate the front winch line at the anchor instead of running it back and connecting to the rear winch line? Were you just trying to reduce the forces on your frame/ bumper?
I’d have to check on the sxs size one from Red Ridge industries This is one of their anchors and is the bigger one If they don’t have a small small one Pull pal does We are testing out the red ridge ones because they are heavier duty and won’t break as easy
Excellent and professional work I have a question if there is no embarrassment in that What is the size of the alternator in a car that carries two winches working at the same time? What is the size of the batteries in the jeep?
On my Suzuki Samurai, I had a 9k warn backed up by a GM one wire 130 amp, and a really good deep cycle battery. But more is never a bad idea if you can afford it, you'll never need less amps....@@patrickwhelan5703

Great job and noticed it's a 505 N.M truck, Samuel in Vegas Nevada 505 born
Ver nicely done, snatch blocks are awesome!
I had my doubts but damn that was impressive. Enjoyed it thanks
usingg a shovel for the front tire would make less strain on your winch and rope
what kind of land anchor is that got to get me one of those
Do they make different sizes like To have one for my truck and a smaller one for my RZR
I’d have to check on the sxs size one from Red Ridge industries
This is one of their anchors and is the bigger one

What is the size of the batteries in the jeep?

What size alternator do you use? Those 2 winches are straining but get it done. I'll guess that the Jeep remains running while you winch?

May I ask why you choose to not pull it out the way it went in?
It dosnt really matter in quick sand, it slowly sinks and gets concreted in by the sand
So no matter which way you go you have to break suction
Things to consider
It stuck in park
We need to move it to get to the transmission cable to pop it off and put in neutral
Forward was the shortest distance to do that
@@matt.mckinzie
Thanks for that.
Quicksand is not something I have experienced.
I appreciate the knowledge.
Just try doing some of this with a Habor freight winch 😮
A reoccurring thing I see is a lot of trucks with street tires just because you have a 4x4 doesn’t mean you can go anywhere especially some of the places I see you pull people out of can’t fix it just can’t fix it.
4x4 just lets you get stuck even worse and further away from help vs 2WD…
Also, people misjudging the depth of water. I did that once, since then, I check first with a stick.
This is the first time I have seen a land anchor used for recovery in US.
Will they fill that hole so it doesnt happen again to some unsuspected vistor to the area .
Would it have helped any to dig out some in front of that passenger side front tire as it was coming up out of the water to help from bending the front bumper or was it already bent ??
So awesome how you did that so well with one vehicle and proper gear
How good does them tires pull
Those wheels are rolling easily while in park mode. Did I hear that an electrical short was preventing that from happening earlier.
There is an emergency release button in the cab for the shift release.
I love the idea that people think just because they have 4WD, they think they can go anywhere, especially with all season pavement tires.!
Great job ; but I’m Kinda surprised that all four wheels were turning with the vehicle stuck in park
That looked looked like a 40k pull. 😱 if you keep doing that with your Jeep you are going to pull that truck in half.
Great Job my good man 👍
that rigging is impressive boss
A good towmen with the right equipment is well worth the cost of their services. 🎉
You should put up a sign there saying call off-road recovery when needed.😊
We did, and the local drunk guys who try and do $20 pulls ripped it down 🤣
I'd also remove differential vent caps & install sealed "tube type" expansion tanks.
Not my 1st rodeo for waterproofing 4x4 drivetrains. 👍
Would you call it a 4 to one?
Yes
Do you get anymore mechanical advantage hook to the front winch in that 4/1 or just a good anchor point
Pretty sad. Beautiful truck! Hope it ends up getting fixed.
I like how there is a toyota in the background overseeing everything
Why was it totaled? did high tide get it? didn't look bad in the video. great job by the way!
Salt water got into the fuse panel and bsm at the bottom front corner of passenger door
Insurance always totals them after that
That POS F150 Does not have an emergency release to neutral?
Was that a New Mexico plate on the truck?
How much did that rescue cost? Thats my first thought.
$250
