When Ed said "you guys are crazy" it was like the grandpa saying that to his grandkids, where he's secretly pleased with them, he's gotta be a great guy to hang around with
Your acts of kindness from giving that gentleman a ride to buying dog food to purchasing a painting-all for a stranger is commendable. A great example for all of us. Eric, I love your dry sense of humor and Tom welcome aboard. You will have a lot to offer. Ed is such an example to all of us. And, Matt thank you for your kindness toward Ed. I hope that is the gold mine he has been looking for.
What a joy to see this come full circle. From the day the golden nugget was rescued to it's restored return. I roared the first time watching Erik behind the wheel of the golden nugget as it was dragged to freedom. Erik deserves to have his name emblazoned somewhere on it. In fact everyone involved who had a part in its rescue and restoration should autograph this gem!
Feeding his dog was cool... $100 for that little painting seemed like a lot but I guess that's not the point. More of a pay it forward, if the dude was scheeming and over charging than shame on him but regardless cool of Matt to pay it forward and help others out
If most people were like this we wouldn't need or have a massive government meddling in everything and liberty would reighn supreme.. and the amount of charity would have poverty almost extinct.. independent hard working self sufficient people who are community oriented and help eachother out and you'd have a very strong and resilient coSupreme. The culture now is all about me myself and I...and acting as if they are owed everything they want by life and everyone else and it's pathetic... the energy and acts of Matt and his crew are great role models for society. Mindful that no one is perfect but this crew is top notch
Matt, you need to schedule a Drs appointment...your chest has to be under tremendous pressure from having such a HUGE heart! I love that you support people no matter where you are. You are a special person. BIG CHUNGUS!
I have always appreciated Tom Tom's contributions to you and your projects, so the news of him moving down to work with you is awesome news. Matt, I so admire and respect the size of your heart for your family and crew. But you also bring joy to people such as Ed and the guy that you helped. Matt, you totally rock, sir!!!
Climbing in those mountains is way more difficult than you could ever relay on camera. Kudos to you guys for sticking with it!! Good to see Tom Tom joining full time as well!!
Ed is one of those characters that are so refreshing in this day and age, crazy history, adventurous and practical, thanks for highlighting him, might inspire others in the audience to reach higher. Great work.
The kindness and compassion you guys give not only your crew an ed but to go outta your way to purchase dog food and a painting from a random stranger living in the woods. Just feels like a constant reminder to be kind to others even when you dont have to be! You guys are amazing!
That guy in the forest is a really talented artist. I bet most viewers of this channel could find some incredible artists in the own community to support. Nothing makes your walls look nicer than unique pieces of art!
I don’t know why but just watching Matt do Matt things is one of my favorite activities. . It doesn’t have to be recoveries, fabrication or shop life. Just Matt out being Matt.
I smiled for the entire length of this video. Thank you, Matt, Eric and Tom Tom, for being great people and most importantly, great friends of Ed. The world is a better place with people like you!
That was priceless. Ed, "you taking this back to Utah, you guys are crazy" I really like how you all treat Ed with so much respect, love and affection. Good example for your viewers. Thanks Matt and the Team🙏🙏
Everyone has a different opinion of what "living the dream" means. I have to admit you guys have given me a new idea of what living the dream is. Helping someone else live their dream is looking more and more like what that ideal is really about. Thanks for sharing this with us!
So thrilled that Tom Tom is gonna be a permanent addition to the crew now ! This was a great video (as usual). Always great to see Eric, his laugh is contagious. I hope Ed n Fred find the good stuff 💰 🇺🇸
You guys HAVE TO include Eric on more videos!! At 21:15, Tom Tom says, "Oh I think you should", made me LAUGH!!....then the look on Eric's face and the unfolding smile when you told him you guys were going to climb made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! Cutting a new belt hole at the end and he says "it's going to work!"......PRICELESS!!!
So very cool about Tom Tom moving. Great addition to your regular crew. Saw the pumpkin, you guys! I was exhausted by the time you finished your exploring! Matt, your buying food for the dog was priceless and once again confirms what an wonderful human being you are. Keep being you dude as that Rocks!
I forgot to say that I hope to see Ed, with a huge smile on his face, holding up a gold nugget the size of his fist and saying that there's more where it came from!! Ed is an amazing guy, and I'd love to just sit down and talk to him for a few hours. He reminds me of my dad, who passed away in 1999, that was a veteran of WW2, and had some stories to tell.
Such a crazy feeling it must be to go into a mine that Ed was in last 50 years ago, what an amazing thing you did for Ed and memorable adventure/experience you give your staff.
If a channel makes you want to be a better person then I guarantee you won't be a better person because you shouldn't need anyone or anything to make you want to be a better person.
So many great moments in this that made me laugh and cry... The look on Erics face when they told him they had to hike up the ravine was priceless. As was Matt making sure that fellows dog had food. And purchasing the painting. All precious moments. Thanks for sharing..
My son tied up a monster truck toy to another smaller truck and was pulling it around his play set singing “im Matt with MORR towing”. Then we check out today’s post and it’s you guys being the most adventurous and gracious human beings. So happy I found this channel and proudly still own my Winder towing hat.
Ed expressing concern that they'll scratch his car is the funniest thing to me 😂😂😂 The Golden Nugget is probably the first vehicle he's ever owned that he cares if it gets scratched. Reminds me of my dad ❤️
I’ve mentioned it early on in Matt’s RUclips adventures but I need to say it again. Matt and his crew are some of the best humans on this earth. Simply amazing people!!!❤
Thanks for helping out the artist fella! Super heartwarming stuff! Oh and exploring abandoned mines is the best type of adventuring, good work. Great content as usual.
Minnesota is the same. Get people from Florida all the time that talk about how weird it is that people are SO nice here in MN. Gotta be other places like Minnesota and Utah
I will remember that 'you guys are crazy' forever! Awesome to see Ed in his natural habitat with Fred. Tom Tom is a great addition to the team I'm glad he's moved in, Eric fits in great he's very experienced and explains his thought process well. Matt, you really have found 'or built' a gold mine with your team and you deserve every bit of success!
Ed’s got to be one hell of a tough guy to go where he did on this trip. I’m not surprised Ed wasn’t too sure where the mine was, it was so long ago. But you did find a mine in the end, just needed a really good gold nugget to finish the video! Eric looked sooo impressed when you told him he had to hike up that hill, his face said it all! Great video, and respect to tough guy Ed.
Oh, no. Don't scratch the Golden Nugget (it's okay to scratch that rental truck, though--those marks will buff right out). Nice that TomTom will be even more closely tied to the MORR team--he's great at the technical side of fabrication. Good to see Eric again.
Watching the nugget recovery again is amazing. I remember thinking that was so crazy trying to recover that old POS. And thinking “why”? Now look at it. Such an amazing transformation. Great job guys. Really impressed.
All you guys really gave it all you had and worked together to find this mine for Ed. That is commendable. I’m glad you found before going back home. Maybe next time you’ll be rewarded. Good work guys. 👍❤️
There is a scarlet thread of redemption that runs throughout history; it is why stories of finding what was lost, healing what was broken, and generally making better what was ruined resonate with all peoples in all places through all time. Thank you for sharing this redemptive story in which a tragic rock slide was transformed into a triumphant gift of friendship and generosity. May God continue to bless the MORR family for all your efforts continually to bring good out of misfortune.
Matt, what an incredible crew you get to work with everyday. I doubt Hollywood could have put together a crew with so many diverse personalities, that all seem to complement each other and work so well together. What your crew does in each video is not just entertaining, it is educational and yes, even inspirational. You and your crew inspire us by showing how when working with a common purpose and goal, almost anything can be accomplished. Thank you... As for tasing Eric, my vote is no! He's just too good a sport for going along, if even reluctantly at times, with the shenanigans you and the crew get into. And you can always count on him to find humor in the worst of them! Stay true to yourselves and keep up the great work. 👍
@@seniorrider9337 obviously, tasing a bear is a last resort, because you'd have to be close enough to touch it. If you need the taser, you're hurt already.
Buying thAt man’s painting was so amazing. You totally made his day or maybe month. Not to mention making sure his fur buddy didn’t go hungry. Just huge.
Cool video. Matt, I wish that you guys would do a new series - "The life of Ed". Seriously, it would be amazing to get stories and details of his life before he's gone. Could do interviews of him, on-site video of stories, etc. I know I'm not the only one that sees things about him that remind me of my Grandpa. Take care y'all.
@@Beandiptheredneck same. My trucks have always been mechanically good and asthetically fucked lol. Interiors stripped to basics. Exterior dents and scratches and just beat up. But runs and drives great (for the most part haha) and gets the jobs done... though my current beater daily to and from work hasn't had heat for like two to three years and I haven't had the time to fix it so here's to winter number 3 with no heat! Thank god for carhart snow suits and mini 12v windshield defrosters 🤣. But she's got brand new snow tires and chains ! And the added benefit of no one asking to carpool LOL
The whole time watching the gulden nugget build I was afraid you made it into a show rig, too purdy to use. So cool to see her out in the woods again! I really enjoyed this episode, your a good man Matt. Keep up the great work.
I feel your pain looking for the mine. We looked off and on for a log cabin in thick woods for three year before it was found. Trees had fallen on it and it had 6 inches of moss on it. Well camouflage over the years. Be well, love your channel and the people that come with it. 🇨🇦
Tunnels are scary stuff. I have grown up mining around Laporte area in California. Hydraulic pits and tunnels. Tunnels are scary stuff I been in 2 working tunnels and boy it's dark when you turn the lights out. The tunnels in Laporte are hand picked through about 400ft of lava cap then you hit what's called the blue layer of the ancient gravels. This blue layer runs through the mountains and carries the most gold from the old river bed. The clay and dirt with gravels has a nice blue color. That layer is loaded. Takes allot to get to it which is why they hydraulic mined the surface gravels away to get at that layer. It's like concrete. But gold is Chucky rough and amazing. I have not been to our claim for a few years. Taking a break. But with gold up it might be time to fire up the trommel and get some gold. Great show fellas but be careful going in the tunnels. The hard rock roof can cave in just as easy as the gravel. Your voice can trigger it.
"And now for a break from our regular programming" . . . I really enjoyed this adventure to search for the lost gold mine! And I am glad to see that Tom Tom is coming on board with you guys! Great addition to the team!
This is my hometown!! Can't believe you were in my town and I had no clue in all these video's!! Dang, bummer I didn't run into you guys would have loved to meet you guys and see the golden nugget. This would have been amazing. If he hasn't been there since the 60's a lot has probably changed. Are river's get pretty big and knock and move a lot of land, so it could look 100x different. In town there is a historic place that might help with some leads or maps. Plus a lot of other places you can get info from as this county is huge for gold since the 1800's. 4 wheeling is pretty big also!
You need to watch all the videos on the golden nugget! It was a amazing!! We also leave in grass valley and can’t wait to see the golden nugget drive around in town
@@kerrylee1871 I spent 20 years in GV/NC, and wish I was still there to see this. Luckily I got to the Golden Nugget on a trip through Utah I took in July though. It’s killer.
You can tell what’s in a person heart by how they treat our elders. Matt treats Ed with amazing dignity and respect. You’re a true friend to him. Big chungus was a handsome boy! Loved him. Thank you Matt for caring about all earths creatures. You have a kind and compassionate heart.
Taking some notes on how to be more kind to people on my day to day from you Matt. This guy that you helped out and bought a painting from him will remember that for the rest of his life!
I came to the channel for the vehicle related content, but I really enjoy these side adventures. Anytime spent out in the hills with some great pals is always well spent.
Nice job with the purchase of artwork while you're out on the trail. I'm sure Adam appreciated it just as much as his dog did. Finding the mine was your reward for the act of kindness.
I think that working as a member of Matt's crew would be a blast! If I were younger, I would seriously consider paying them a visit to see if I could contribute to their cause......... The Sierras definitely are not for the faint of heart. A lot of those old timers earned every bit of gold they found in that rugged, unforgiving terrain. I hope the mine you found turns out to be what Ed was looking for. Love your channel. Keep up the good work..
I'm so glad that I found Matt's Off-road Recovery channel 🙌 ! Y'all am too get along like a huge family & hope with God's grace y'all find Ed's lost mine !
That's our home town! My wife and I grew up in the Nevada City/Grass Valley area....and I used to go to SPD with my mom for grocery shopping, Plus...my wife's brother is gold miner, and I mean a REAL gold miner (not just panning for gold). That's how he has made his living. We know the area around Ed's old mine well. It's too bad you didn't have time to visit the Empire Gold Mine. My wife worked there as a tour guide while in high school. (We now live in Maine). Here's a little history of the Empire Mine (taken from their website): "Empire Mine State Historic Park is the site of one of the oldest, deepest, and richest gold mines in California. The park is in Grass Valley at 10791 East Empire Street. In operation for more than 100 years, the mine extracted 5.8 million ounces of gold before it closed in 1956. The park contains many of the mine’s buildings, the owner’s home and restored gardens, as well as the entrance to 367 miles of abandoned and flooded mine shafts." Trivia: SPD is first letter of the last names of the the three original owners: Bert See, Lawrence Painter and Joe Dilley. Love what you guys do Matt and Gang.
One of the nice things about RUclips is that I can be an "arm chair" traveler, this time to a gold mine. Neat video. You sometimes use drones for making scenery shots in the videos. Could a drone have been used to search for the mine? To paraphrase the Yellow pages, "Let your drone do the walking!".
Matt, id love to get out to utah and meet you. You're such a genuinely nice guy. Someone you didnt even know, and you got his dog some food, bought a painting from the guy to help him out, not many people like you anymore. Dont ever stop being a real person Matt.
This is like watching a real life Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn adventure. What a great group of kind and generous people--a needed reminder in these days to love one another.
And on this gold mine hunt, you were able to help out a fellow in need! Awesome! Ed lit up when he saw the Nugget! Great excursion, and looking forward to an update! Eric was a trooper, too! A lot of tough exercise playing mountain goat!
Most of those river canyons have a 1500 foot elevation change from the ridge to the river. If you are not in pretty good shape the climb out is torture. Thanks for being kind and supporting our local artists.
This was super fun! I already follow a few mine channels like “Cerro Gordo” (Brent Underwood) and “Abandoned and Forgotten places”…. So I loved seeing this!
Thanks again folks. Matt you are blessed and you share your blessings with others. What you did for the guy and his dog is exactly what God wants us all to do. Love God and love people. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
NO taze for Eric! He took a big one for the team when it was time to bring back the Golden Nugget! Matt, you are the chief in command, you should do it for YOUR team 🤷♂️🤣😉
When Ed said "you guys are crazy" it was like the grandpa saying that to his grandkids, where he's secretly pleased with them, he's gotta be a great guy to hang around with
Exactly the vibe i got.
Had to be the elder and "scold" them......but was secretly like "HELL YEA!!"
Matt’s reply should be, “hold my beer.”
For sure. What a treat to be around such an awesome person. Cheers Ed🤙We love you
Absolutely 😉
I think it’s a bit of that but mostly why the hell did you bring that all the way here for two days 😂
I've never seen a person go through all the stages of grief as fast as Eric when they told him they had to hike up that hill.
Your acts of kindness from giving that gentleman a ride to buying dog food to purchasing a painting-all for a stranger is commendable. A great example for all of us. Eric, I love your dry sense of humor and Tom welcome aboard. You will have a lot to offer. Ed is such an example to all of us. And, Matt thank you for your kindness toward Ed. I hope that is the gold mine he has been looking for.
Taz your self lol😂
What a joy to see this come full circle. From the day the golden nugget was rescued to it's restored return. I roared the first time watching Erik behind the wheel of the golden nugget as it was dragged to freedom. Erik deserves to have his name emblazoned somewhere on it. In fact everyone involved who had a part in its rescue and restoration should autograph this gem!
@pinchependejo-iy8leM
I actually think I recall several of them signing the underside of the hood in the Reveal video.
Solid move buying from the artist and feeding his dog! Love the heart you guys have!!!!
Feeding his dog was cool... $100 for that little painting seemed like a lot but I guess that's not the point. More of a pay it forward, if the dude was scheeming and over charging than shame on him but regardless cool of Matt to pay it forward and help others out
Nice to see Ed in his natural environment. He’s very much at peace camping and mining.
I agree 100% with you
How awesome! Reminding me of Ghost Town Living... be awesome to maybe see Brent help with finding Ed's mine
The act of generosity on this channel is unreal.
The Many Acts
If most people were like this we wouldn't need or have a massive government meddling in everything and liberty would reighn supreme.. and the amount of charity would have poverty almost extinct.. independent hard working self sufficient people who are community oriented and help eachother out and you'd have a very strong and resilient coSupreme.
The culture now is all about me myself and I...and acting as if they are owed everything they want by life and everyone else and it's pathetic... the energy and acts of Matt and his crew are great role models for society. Mindful that no one is perfect but this crew is top notch
I wish the amount of 'likes' would reflect that better.

I have always appreciated Tom Tom's contributions to you and your projects, so the news of him moving down to work with you is awesome news. Matt, I so admire and respect the size of your heart for your family and crew. But you also bring joy to people such as Ed and the guy that you helped. Matt, you totally rock, sir!!!
No matter how old a man is, there is always a boy looking for adventure in there. You guys are the best. Heartfelt best wishes from🇬🇧
Very true words! I've had some great memories with my grandpa where I can see that I am sparking memories of his younger years
Climbing in those mountains is way more difficult than you could ever relay on camera. Kudos to you guys for sticking with it!! Good to see Tom Tom joining full time as well!!
Looks like a job for a drone.

Yes I wish he had some Way for us to donate
He was very wholesome
Eric is just a wholesome person, what a champ for driving the Nugget down there!!
Agreed, what a great sport. I'm envious of his ability to just "grin and bear it" when things get a little uncomfortable.
Love how Eric has a baofeng radio!
Eric was a real trooper when he was being pulled out of there when they picked up the ragged golden nugget!
@@lindsaykid9947 Trivia- Baofeng in chinese means "Bear Poop".

gET OFF THE cOUCH AND LIVE!
I agree Matt just loves life and if it doesn't work, he goes to the junkyard and makes something to make it work
As an artist myself, seeing you buy that art really made my day. It's people like you Matt that helps keep creativity alive!
I smiled for the entire length of this video. Thank you, Matt, Eric and Tom Tom, for being great people and most importantly, great friends of Ed. The world is a better place with people like you!
That was priceless. Ed, "you taking this back to Utah, you guys are crazy"

But runs and drives great (for the most part haha) and gets the jobs done... though my current beater daily to and from work hasn't had heat for like two to three years and I haven't had the time to fix it so here's to winter number 3 with no heat! Thank god for carhart snow suits and mini 12v windshield defrosters 🤣. But she's got brand new snow tires and chains ! And the added benefit of no one asking to carpool LOL
Yah no shame in using it for what it was built it made the shown won’t ever be back at sema so use it how you want!!!!
it should be put in a plastic bag and vacuum the air out of it to preserve it
@@Dougtroutfisher.4046 I agree they need to use it and treat it like a truck not a museum piece.
The whole time watching the gulden nugget build I was afraid you made it into a show rig, too purdy to use. So cool to see her out in the woods again! I really enjoyed this episode, your a good man Matt. Keep up the great work.
Now it makes sense perhaps why Robby polished the GN before SEMA.
I feel your pain looking for the mine. We looked off and on for a log cabin in thick woods for three year before it was found. Trees had fallen on it and it had 6 inches of moss on it. Well camouflage over the years. Be well, love your channel and the people that come with it. 🇨🇦
Tunnels are scary stuff. I have grown up mining around Laporte area in California. Hydraulic pits and tunnels. Tunnels are scary stuff I been in 2 working tunnels and boy it's dark when you turn the lights out. The tunnels in Laporte are hand picked through about 400ft of lava cap then you hit what's called the blue layer of the ancient gravels. This blue layer runs through the mountains and carries the most gold from the old river bed. The clay and dirt with gravels has a nice blue color. That layer is loaded. Takes allot to get to it which is why they hydraulic mined the surface gravels away to get at that layer. It's like concrete. But gold is Chucky rough and amazing. I have not been to our claim for a few years. Taking a break. But with gold up it might be time to fire up the trommel and get some gold. Great show fellas but be careful going in the tunnels. The hard rock roof can cave in just as easy as the gravel. Your voice can trigger it.
"And now for a break from our regular programming" . . . I really enjoyed this adventure to search for the lost gold mine! And I am glad to see that Tom Tom is coming on board with you guys! Great addition to the team!
Matt, just out doing nice things for random people he's never met before. We should all try to be more like Matt.
Wouldn't this world be a better place for it. Hold that thought. Bushyboy Oz.
This is my hometown!! Can't believe you were in my town and I had no clue in all these video's!! Dang, bummer I didn't run into you guys would have loved to meet you guys and see the golden nugget. This would have been amazing. If he hasn't been there since the 60's a lot has probably changed. Are river's get pretty big and knock and move a lot of land, so it could look 100x different. In town there is a historic place that might help with some leads or maps. Plus a lot of other places you can get info from as this county is huge for gold since the 1800's. 4 wheeling is pretty big also!
You need to watch all the videos on the golden nugget! It was a amazing!! We also leave in grass valley and can’t wait to see the golden nugget drive around in town
@@kerrylee1871 I spent 20 years in GV/NC, and wish I was still there to see this. Luckily I got to the Golden Nugget on a trip through Utah I took in July though. It’s killer.
You guys should bring a drone to scout for the mine next time
thats what i was thinking the whole time lol be so much easier and quicker. and ed could watch the feed and help recognize it
Same lol
Was thinking the same thing!
You can tell what’s in a person heart by how they treat our elders. Matt treats Ed with amazing dignity and respect. You’re a true friend to him. Big chungus was a handsome boy! Loved him. Thank you Matt for caring about all earths creatures. You have a kind and compassionate heart.
Taking some notes on how to be more kind to people on my day to day from you Matt. This guy that you helped out and bought a painting from him will remember that for the rest of his life!
The love people have for Ed is apparent and you only get that kind of respect if you deserve it.
Any day with a video with Eric is a good day! Thanks for sharing!
I came to the channel for the vehicle related content, but I really enjoy these side adventures. Anytime spent out in the hills with some great pals is always well spent.
Matt never ceases to amaze me with the patience and kindness!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Nice job with the purchase of artwork while you're out on the trail.
I'm sure Adam appreciated it just as much as his dog did.
Finding the mine was your reward for the act of kindness.
Anything Eric says I laugh. His presence just is just great lol.
Eric tha "spider" LoL
Eric is great. Always like seeing him in the videos.
He looked enthused about climbing up the cliff.
💯
I think that working as a member of Matt's crew would be a blast! If I were younger, I would seriously consider paying them a visit to see if I could contribute to their cause......... The Sierras definitely are not for the faint of heart. A lot of those old timers earned every bit of gold they found in that rugged, unforgiving terrain. I hope the mine you found turns out to be what Ed was looking for. Love your channel. Keep up the good work..
I'm so glad that I found Matt's Off-road Recovery channel 🙌 ! Y'all am too get along like a huge family & hope with God's grace y'all find Ed's lost mine !
Helping that man out by purchasing a painting, shows Matt’s heart. Fan for life!
Nice to see more of Tom Tom,
God bless you all, you are so generous with time and effort.
Thank you to you all especially you Matt.
Great channel 👍
It's always fun to go on crazy adventures with good friends. Thanks for taking us along!
This has got to be one of my favorite videos of all time. What an awesome group of people!
💯
Matt you and your crew are just such good hearted people, helping Adam and his dog out was very nice if you.
Cheers from Tokyo.
That's our home town! My wife and I grew up in the Nevada City/Grass Valley area....and I used to go to SPD with my mom for grocery shopping, Plus...my wife's brother is gold miner, and I mean a REAL gold miner (not just panning for gold). That's how he has made his living. We know the area around Ed's old mine well. It's too bad you didn't have time to visit the Empire Gold Mine. My wife worked there as a tour guide while in high school. (We now live in Maine).
Here's a little history of the Empire Mine (taken from their website): "Empire Mine State Historic Park is the site of one of the oldest, deepest, and richest gold mines in California. The park is in Grass Valley at 10791 East Empire Street. In operation for more than 100 years, the mine extracted 5.8 million ounces of gold before it closed in 1956. The park contains many of the mine’s buildings, the owner’s home and restored gardens, as well as the entrance to 367 miles of abandoned and flooded mine shafts."
Trivia: SPD is first letter of the last names of the the three original owners: Bert See, Lawrence Painter and Joe Dilley.
Love what you guys do Matt and Gang.
One of the Top ten MORR episodes ever. Thanks for taking us all with you guys.
One of the nice things about RUclips is that I can be an "arm chair" traveler, this time to a gold mine. Neat video. You sometimes use drones for making scenery shots in the videos. Could a drone have been used to search for the mine? To paraphrase the Yellow pages, "Let your drone do the walking!".
Ed is great. He's so practical. Thanks for the adventure.
Movement equals life, You’re literally keeping Ed alive
Matt, id love to get out to utah and meet you. You're such a genuinely nice guy. Someone you didnt even know, and you got his dog some food, bought a painting from the guy to help him out, not many people like you anymore. Dont ever stop being a real person Matt.
This is like watching a real life Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn adventure. What a great group of kind and generous people--a needed reminder in these days to love one another.
And on this gold mine hunt, you were able to help out a fellow in need! Awesome! Ed lit up when he saw the Nugget! Great excursion, and looking forward to an update! Eric was a trooper, too! A lot of tough exercise playing mountain goat!
What a treat - Tom Tom AND Eric back with Matt! Still missing Trevor though! Thanks for taking us along with you on your EPIC search lol!
What happened to Trevor?
What's up with Trevor? Did he leave MORR?
@@ScandalProduction No idea - just miss seeing him as he hasn't been in the last few videos.
Most of those river canyons have a 1500 foot elevation change from the ridge to the river. If you are not in pretty good shape the climb out is torture. Thanks for being kind and supporting our local artists.
Helping out the guy in the van down by the river...you a good person Matt
Man this is why morr is so popular! It covers such a wide range of awesome things people love!
What a fun field trip! Matt has the biggest heart to help Ed and the man with the dog ❤
Buying that painting was an awesome thing to do. Also, I hope to live long enough to have a long lost mine. What a legend.
Matt, you are a great man. The world and specifically utah, needs more people like you and your crew. Thank you.
Eric needs to be in more of these vids. He's a natural on camera.
On a different note, where's Trevor??
Been wondering that myself??
@@B4UClose And Skeeter!
@@jred7594 That's right, Skeeter also
Think Mentioned in a past video, they both moved on different things. Left on good terms tho
Ed was thrilled you all showed up with the Nugget!! Hope you found it and everything "pans" for Ed and y'all!!!😃
I was wondering where the pumpkin went to. You guys really know how to make Ed feel good and you take great care of him.
If I remember right, I think this pumpkin is a replacement of the original. 😁
This was super fun! I already follow a few mine channels like “Cerro Gordo” (Brent Underwood) and “Abandoned and Forgotten places”…. So I loved seeing this!
Thanks again folks. Matt you are blessed and you share your blessings with others. What you did for the guy and his dog is exactly what God wants us all to do. Love God and love people. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
NO taze for Eric!
He took a big one for the team when it was time to bring back the Golden Nugget!
Matt, you are the chief in command, you should do it for YOUR team
🤷♂️🤣😉
