- One day, three extractions!!
We got called out for a minivan that was stuck in the sand at Sand Hollow State Park. After we found them and got them back on solid ground, we headed for home. As we were driving out of the park, we were flagged down by the owner of a Toyota that needed a little help getting back to Solid footing.
Later that afternoon, we were called out for a vehicle that had lost its transmission fluid. By this time it was 105° and the wind was blowing a little bit. It was HOT!!!
Since this vehicle couldn’t help at all, I had to use enough kinetic energy rope to get me on solid footing to pull him to where we could pick him up with a rollback tow truck.

The whole world would be a better place if they listened to the first 50 seconds of this video and took it to heart.
Absolutely!
Amen!
Matt explaining human nature by consoling “...getting stuck in the sand is one of the smaller mistakes one makes in life...”.
Plain lovely!
He really puts it in perspective with that one. Made me think about all the mistakes I'm making, like right now. I'd rather be stuck on a beach for sure 😊
Matt is such a legit dude. I’ve watched hours of his channel and I have no clue how he votes or where he goes to church but I do know he loves his family, friends, dogs, Ed, and motorsports. I also know if I am ever stranded in southern Utah he’s my first call and I’ll be star struck.
I'm with you on this. Not only do I not know his politics, I don't care. Good people do good work. The rest is just junk layered on by society. Good people, good work, good life.
@@lukefredsall most people, regardless of political affiliation, just want to be able to provide for their family (or themselves), want safety, food security, not have to worry about healthcare bankrupting them, decent housing and education for their kids (if they have any).
A very gracious and humble attitude towards your customers. What a blessing. 👊
Matt seems to be a real gentleman. Also, if you're a jerk to your customers, how long would you stay in business? He's doing himself a real service showing what a nice guy he is.
Hi Matt's I would ask u but I am sorry for that why ur jeep is always dirty from inside 🤔
Exactly! Exemplary customer service.
@Van Damage B.C. Before Computer's.
Great man. So many would be in serious trouble without his kind services, people need learn a few fundamental rules and limitations of driving their vehicle into the desert, some are totally unprepared and just follow a GPS. I owned a Jeep XJ for 24 years it was an excellent basic 4wd with a combined chassis, low weight, strong 4 litre six cylinder engine, diff lockers and two inch lift would go anywhere.
Matt’s off-road recover replacing the news since 2020
You can have the baddest 4x4 and still get stuck. If anyone tells you differently they haven't been really off roading. It happens .
You are very correct.
So true!! And where's the fun and the adrenaline if you don't take the risk.
Robert Ross again, I learned what I needed after I got stuck. :) Now I have the recovery stuff.
1/2 the fun of off roading is getting stuck and then self recovering.
Yep been there done that
I was in the sand with my old truck and had the Transfer Case Control Module “TCCM” go out on my truck disabling my four wheel drive (although I didn’t know the problem at the time). It was one of the worse experiences of my life, I had no cell reception and everyone who came across me were a total jerks and not only wouldn’t help, but also laughed and made fun of me and my family. Bad things can happen to anyone. “Murphy’s Law” but since that experience I have always gone out of my way to help anyone out on the trail, any time for any reason. Give people the benefit of the doubt and help your fellow off roaders, even if they are in a minivan someplace that it has no business being 😉. Thanks for the video!
theres a place here in aus,called inskip beach,,watch that..but,i think,there should be education courses,advertised or when you buy a vehicle to travel out of population,off bitumen,,.a hand book,or course of 1-2 wks,to educate people on tire pressure,not spinning wheels,&,WALK IT FIRST. keep up a steady speed,dont change gear..&,if possible,buy a cheap china winch for 300,a cradle,& 2 mount points,front & rear..it helps you & your fellow stranded non course people..every one that buys a 4x4,it should be mandatory,to do this.it saves lives,especially here in aus,2 days your dead.you can travel 2,000 ks here,& not see a soul.ask the japs on the pushbikes they found..!!.NEVER,LEAVE THE VEHICLE. its a beacon to your whare abouts..thirsty,,drink the rad water,if it is,,allways carry heavy cloths,& extra water.BEER,IS NOT FLUID.
Hard to beat a t-case shifter on the floor...
here in aus,,most wont buy a new vehicle if going 4x4ing,seriously..1 sensor shits,your dead in 3 days..old skool wins..
I stumbled upon this channel last night around 6pm, @ 4 am I finally passed out mid episode. Thanks Matt 🥱
Gotta love Matt's demeanor. Real down to earth and good guy. Love the amount of respect he has for his customers. Never gets an attitude and is always understanding and helpful. I bet he is great to work for.
Scares me every time I see you crawl under a back wheel while the client is behind the wheel!
They cant move...
ohh on the road, absolutely!!
Agreed about the comments about people getting stuck. I've been stuck in everything from bone stock trucks to full bore race trucks. It happens. Anyone that's never gotten stuck hasn't done much off-roading.
You gotta get stuck to know your limits! Snow, sand, rocks, mud! Also tells what you need to buy/ upgrade haha.
And... every time I get stuck (happens about once or twice a year) I learn something that makes it a little easier to get myself unstuck next time. Such is life.
Yep it happens. I remember one time stuck in a work truck. Called my pops to pulls us out. Soon as he set us free he gets stuck so we had to pull him out. Happened in the outskirts of LasVegas Nevada.
lol, my van got stuck. Its lifted and 4wd. Took 3.5 feet of snow in a hard drift to do it tho. Was my own fault too, was in a hurry to get home, and hit the drift hard, so I rode up on it and stopped on the frame.
Our son is in the Army and they got a tank stuck, years ago. Go figure.
I need to say how impressed I was with Matt when he took that elderly lady who was totally lost all the way to her hotel. That was kindness beyond what is expected for someone in business and that speaks volumes of ones character. Cudos to you Matt, I am sure your charge was far below a business mans rate.
I love this video for two reasons. One, you reminded us that it’s easy to judge while sitting at a computer screen. And two, it shows why experienced help is ideal... so you minimize damage.
I've done a lot of dumb things myself in life. I just did them before RUclips :)
That about sums it up for me too... In hindsight, some of them would have made for great entertainment though...
Lucky you. Lol
You are meant to learn by your mistakes thou !
Can’t get away with anything nowadays with all these video recorder going.
@@drueatcer No kidding.
Great life philosophy and truly showes up in how you approach your customers. Really appreciate your problem solving skills and sharing your journey of vehicle recovery.
Can't wait till you start selling your hats to add to my collection!
If you've never been stuck you haven't gone offroad. It happens, and you have to learn somehow.
*Detained.
If you were stuck the rig would still be there. ;)
Never would have thought watching vids like this could be so entertaining. Love the humble approach and appreciate folks like you helping out ... for a small fee, of course.
Money is amazing. While your tow truck driver might not need any help building an app, someone somewhere does. They will 'pay' you (exchange of service for a symbolic representation of 'any goods'), and you can then pay your tow truck driver.
Even if you are a farmer, not everyone likes beets. No problem, sell beets for money and then use that money to buy ANYTHING. Money is probably one of the most critical and least discussed technologies ever conceptualized. We never think of it in these terms, but honestly money is to pre-history what the internet is to modernity.
Before I watch any further (I'm at 03:17): Thank you for holding your values in this easy-to-be-nasty RUclips world (and to be honest,I have also at least once made myself guilty of such nastiness). Quite honestly, I simply don't succeed as much as I would like to at applying the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything" mantra, but I am working on improving my behaviour. Watch this space.
You, Sir are probably surprised by the level of venom in the comments section, because there is a certain level of decency and 'niceness' that your parents clearly taught you . While you are probably not so naive that you were completely unaware that people can be so nasty, I sense that the sheer level of aggro has caught you a bit off guard. Keep on being the fella that we've all come to know a little and respect a lot (for more than just his off roading skills).
I'm a Land Rover Discovery II guy but these videos are definitely a testament to how tough these XJ's are! Hell of a good recovery rig!
I won't comment on people getting stuck, but using the luggage rack to try an recover a van, is CRAZY!!!!
Thanks for showing some grace to the folks who overshot their abilities to drive in their conditions, it’s nice to hear a little kindness. Another great video thanks.
I watched one of you videos and I was hooked. I binge watched every one! You, your family, employees, and friends are what make your channel great. Just a great group of people.
Exactly Everyone wasn't born behind the wheel of a 4x4 like we were, I remember having to put it in low and lock the hubs just to get to the driveway of deer camp, then it was still 1/2 mile of some of the stickiest GA red mud, ruts 2'deep, with one hole deep enough to stock with catfish. Half the reason I loved hunting so much when I was young was getting to 4 wheel in and out...love the vids Matt, thanx for sharing sir.
Matt's Off Road Recovery Hey Matt, awesome channel! I just found it recently and have been binge watching as much as I can.
I dig your comment about being harsh to other humans, that is not good at all. I find I do it myself on occasion, when people do things that just aren't right. This is not the same as the comments about people doing poorly in the sand or mud, but it is a wonderful attitude you have on the topic. I must endeavor to keep it real as you do. You are a credit to the human race. Well done!
Only when people make the same mistake twice are they we stupid. ;)
Matt is really successful because he treats his customers so well. He talks about why people get stuck without any hint of making fun of them. If these people did not get stuck, Matt would be out of quite a bit of his business. He's a great businessman. Customers need help. He helps them.
The guy was trying to help you out by rigging the roof rack for a pull. 4:37 OMG.
He definitely doesnt know wtf he doing
Rod Purtilo Wow! Good eye! That’s crazy lol!
Lmao I saw him with the strap. That would’ve ended nice.
You ever see the video where they try to recover a Jeep in the mud by strappin to the roll cage? Rips the whole body clean off lol
he was probably expecting Matt to connect to a drone and air-lift the van right back onto the street
I have travelled to/from Utah over 40 years with family just north of Cedar. Driven through Her-uh-kun dozens of times and NEVER been to Sand Hallow or Coral Pink dunes. Seem like lovely places.
Matt, you Ed and the family have something special going on there. Keep up the good work. Winder towing is in my phone now! Just in case.
Your attitude and the way you help people is AWESOME
Thanks Matt for your kindness towards those that are less skilled.. also a great bonus because they are your customers.
People gotta remember if everyone was an expert off-road, Matt wouldn't need a bad ass XJ for work and there wouldn't be good videos.
Your channel is definitely one of my favorite channels to watch.
Absolutely EVERYBODY is "less skilled" when first starting out and won't gain any experience/skill until they actually do it. I have no desire to criticize that process, or them. Get outdoors and have fun.
Cannot get enough of this channel! Still watching from rainy England UK
This is turning out to my favorite 4x4 channel. Real life, real people. You are right Matt, some people are very quick to criticize . Ben
have you come across 4wd action,,its aus vids,,totally for the camera,200 % fun,all bullshit content..like most reality shows,they have untold money & content has to be thrilling,even if theres a road,5 ft away..they dont give any advice,.
Love your comments. We all need to just appreciate the fact that if people didn't get stuck then we wouldn't have your cool videos to watch! See ya in the sand!
I got stuck bad on a fire road in the snow in Big Bear California. It was just at sun set. I had a 4x4. We just wanted to explore. Just took a wrong turn, ended up in a few feet of snow with no cell service. Off road recovery guys just like Matt happened to be coming back from a job. They pulled me out for free! Otherwise I would have been stuck in a snow storm overnight. Guys like Matt are doing gods work people. Saved me and my friends from a freezing night possibly a hike back to civilization in the snow at night. Hope if I ever get stuck again somewhere near these guys I get to call Matt, I’m a big fan!
Matt, you are so patient and kind. I agree, it's not nice to give people a bad time for getting stuck in the sand. If that's the worst mistake they make in their life, they are pretty lucky. And they are very fortunate to have you and your crew get them out.
U got ur vehicle recovery skills down to an art lol. Great video. 👊
What this world needs right now is people being nicer to one another. Especially for the small stuff. Besides, I like learning about the physics involved in these recoveries, and seeing some of the amazing scenery I don't have in my neck of the woods. Good on these folks for being outside and adventuring.
I appreciate how the customer with the minivan filled in the holes he dug. Very conscientious!
I was driving down to the beach (to fish), I took my eyes off the "path" for 2 seconds, I found myself driving into a "sinkhole". I learned a valuable lesson that day. It does't take much to get stuck in the sand.
I appreciate your kind positive attitude and your calm demeanor. I really enjoy your vids
As always thanks for keeping things positive, big reason I keep coming back. You should have a email link so we can send you pictures of our “mistakes”. I’ve buried a few vehicles
My response to the “why would someone take a fill-in-the-blank out on these roads” comments is I am happy these people are using the amazing public lands we have in the West. I drive past a dozen Jeeps and 4x4s just on my street here in Colorado every day, which sit there and never move. I’m glad people are going out to enjoy the outdoors regardless of what they drive, most important thing is to go out there.
To be clear, I do believe in being prepared and equipped to help myself and others when travelling off highway. I’m not going to tackle the Alpine Loop in my Impreza for example. But that car and the Foresters that preceeded it have racked up a lot of miles on dirt and snowy roads, and I’ve been pulled out a couple times in my life too when I couldn’t dig out.
Their getting ready for the $5 and $6 gas that will be here after the next election. I broke my bike back out and started riding it to get back in shape after I have to park my truck.
You were talking about why some people get stuck. My dad says the same thing about people that launch boats the first few times. They don't know what the hell their doing, and don't realize the trailer won't turn the same way as you turn the truck, it goes the opposite way. So you have a newbe trying to back down the ramp getting pissed cause they can't control the trailer. It takes a few times to get the hang of it, as i am sure driving a heavy ass camper does in the sand. Its good for you, cause you make $$$. But even better for us, cause we get to watch your videos. Thanks
Great video and words of wisdom! You trimmed your beard; looks nice! Less to tug on now when you’re thinking though 😂❤️🐞
Great and beautiful work in helping and serving others, thank you very much, sir.
My 15 yo son took out our Sportsman 800 quad one day and got it stuck in the mud. He showed up at the campsite about an hour later. He was in tears and said he got stuck in the mud, and apologized. I patted him on the shoulder and reassured him that those machines get stuck all the time and its no problem. I felt so bad that he had some guilt or shame in getting stuck. No one should have guilt over getting stuck in the mud. If one hasn't gotten stuck, one is not off-roading enough.
Matt, your comments about sand driving skill levels and the inexperienced following tracks into unknown territory, is so right. Exactly the same applies to skiing off piest or into the back country. It so often ends badly.
Not a single comment about the mini van roof rack strap @ 4:37 ???? I totally want to see this go down....
im glad the folks with the van didnt get a chance to try pulling it out via the recovery strap on the roof rack, also good on you matt for the respect you show to the customers im sure it gets you ahead in the long run and its the right way to go about it
The dynamics of desert sand and beach sand are way different too. Vehicle weight, tire selection, 2x4, 4x4 length, width, etc. all play a role. I’ve been stuck in 4 wheel drive where a 2 wheel drive drove through. Happens to everyone.
Matt makes the show , he is so calm and puts people at ease.
A lot of skill but an even better attitude. Well done
They are getting stuck for our entertainment. I won’t judge. I’m 63 years old and I still haven’t slowed down. I’ve had three motorcycle accidents this year resulting in a broken right foot, a broken right thumb, and three broken ribs on the left hand side. People should live their lives.
First of all!!!, I DO NOT call anybody a moron, a fool, dumbass, dumbf**k etc. that get stuck!!! Most people have a tendency to believe commercials!! I.E. Toyota commercials, Jeeps commercials etc. and especially Honda commercials!!! And as long as you drive their name brand NOTHING GOES WRONG including off-roading!!! And some other people assume they can do what other people do (that have more skill and knowledge about off-roading). My backstory is; early 90s (91-92) was the first 2 years of me in Glamis, CA. Was out there 7 months (Jan- July). July gets 116° with no shade at 9% humidity!!!, and it SUCKS ASS!!!!!! And most of all!!, I really do appreciate your videos!!! again THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEOS!!!
I really appreciate your attitude and views Matt! Very humble and kind.
Loving your videos! I’ve been stuck more times than I care to remember and done my fair share of pulling other vehicles out. It’s usually been good times for all those involved, mostly because we have an attitude like yours, crap happens, deal with it. Sincerely a XJ owner a bit north of ya (Orangeville Utah).
Dude keep up the awesome work..dont let new tech stop an old tech man from living his dream! We just ask that you video it along the way!! Haha forreal man keep it up..we live for these vids..dont ever stop!!
I have become addicted to your site. Strangely I Love watching your videos. And really appreciate the beautiful terrain. Love your positivity. Keep up the good work.
The first time I played in the sand i was in a lifted 79 ramcharger 35s and thought it was like snow wheeling. Wrong . I can shovel snow all day long to get unstuck . Cant do that with sand. Great video and thanks for your help and time to bring us this
If more people were like matt we would be much better as a society. Also wont get stuck as much lol
Man o man, life has gotten easier for you. Glad to see it. Keep up the good work. Hard work always pays off. 🇺🇸💪👍
Love the content matt making my way through all your videos 👍
I really like that you don't judge. Keep it up doing what you're doing. I've been in alot of interesting off road situations and I respect anyone who tries it. Push your limits. You'll find out what you can and cannot do. :)
As someone who discovered this channel only a few months ago, I have watched all the new stuff and I'm going back and watching the older stuff now. It's kind of worried that I wouldn't like the older stuff, but honestly, it's fun to see the beginnings of the channel and how far they have come.
I appreciate your videos! I've learned so much by watching! Even been able to help a few people. Keep up the good videos!!
I think the biggest problem today is we have people that have all wheel drive vehicles thinking their four-wheel drive
Different situations awd is actually better sometimes for sand and snow. Really depends on the capability of the individual vehicle and what traction modes it has. Truly offroading yes 4x4 is king
First few words, so powerful. Thank you
Why did that guy have that tow strap on the roof rack of that mini-van? Was he really gonna try attach it there and pull it out with that Jeep? I bet you see some funny stuff in your line of work!
I am sure, would have made for some awesome memes lol
yea that guy makes us jeep owners look bad that would have ripped that roof rack off. we now know he is a mall crawler.
the dude was in all black and had on skinny jeans and fingerless gloves in the desert.. he wasnt thinking
Likely where the van owner stores the strap between pulls or tows. A common practice of off-roaders. Keeps it handy and out of the mud, sand, or whatever. I hook mine to the hitch and throw the rest into the bed of my truck. If I ever need to be pulled out (rare unless seriously mudding), all I have to do is throw the other end out to whomever is pulling.
@@dwightstewart7181 no. the jeep owner was the one taking the strap off. he was about to do a roof rack delete on that minivan. if they were 10 minutes later to that van hed have already ripped it off
I got you on my recommendation so I watched a few videos and it's interesting.Ya got another subscriber👊
New subscriber here. I really like your videos and your calm demeanor. Thanks for taking us along.
That takes skill just to get that van that far in there!
Or a lot of speed!
Really enjoy your video and love the quiet way you rescue those stuck. I live on 7km off-road track; but now realise what a good state its in!!
Great job Matt glad you are here to help 😀
Just started watching your videos yesterday, but I’m digging the content. Keep up the good work.
Great guy, great attitude. Thanks for helping everyone.
Having grown up in Delta Utah, we learned to drive on sand. Maybe you could do a video on some of the finer points of driving on sand.
Definitely would appreciate this. As someone from Canada I can drive well in most snow conditions but this sand is new to me. Heading to Utah this summer and as much as I want to adventure I don’t really want to have to call ya Matt. But that would be kinda cool to meet ya. So some sand driving tips..
Matt will you be my dad. So patient, so compassionate. great guy across the board.
Thanks for taking us along on the road trips . Loving the view !
Its rather silly for folks to get so worked up at somebody for getting stuck. I wonder if the understand that if EVERYBODY done it perfect,and nothing ever went wrong,that you would be out of business?
I think that the web comic Penny Arcade summed it up well: www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/ (warning, text NSFW)
My dad always said "der zijn der altijd van alle soorten" which means there's always one of any kind
If folks didn’t get stuck we would never have gotten to meet Matt, Ed and the crew and that would be a shame.
Love this channel..
i love your videos man. I think ive watched all of them. keep doin what your doin cause its good stuff!
Good explanation Matt, plus gives you business when people make mistakes. Sand is tricky and I’m sure people see other tracks and think they can go wherever. Good video
Where they going to use the roof rack as a recovery point? Good as any I guess lol!
Great attitude Matt! Refreshing..
The view of the beauty in nature is priceless. It is nice to see as well as the good saves.
Great attitude. Very kind of you to defend those who have had a bad day.
Too many uninvolved giving arrogant opinions while laughing at others misfortunes.
Karma is real and visits sooner or later.
Your videos are very informative and neutral.
Fascinating channel. What a lifestyle Matt has. I am amazed at how capable the Jeep Cherokee XJ is. I also like that Matt's family is in vids. Matt is skilled and humble. Good stuff all around.
Great video Matt I enjoy your style of videos. It gets hot out their but I'd rather have your 100 than the 85 degrees with the high humidity we get around here. Thanks for sharing. God Bless you and your family.
Love these videos...very therapeutic and entertaining
Great content. Gladly subbed to this channel. Keep it coming!
You have a great attitude.
Something I can definitely learn from.
Thank you.
I enjoy watching your videos, hopefully someday I can learn a little so I can either help somebody or I can instruct them to help me when I am stuck without damage to either vehicle. Thank you and cant wait for the next adventure.
thumbs up for those who stuck, people are people and people make mistakes, noboy's perfect :)
Matt is a good human.
Really like the tires on the Yukon, and you're right about people making mistakes, it happens and in the scope of things " if that's the worst thing that happens that day I for one will take it with a grain of salt or sand if you prefer
Love the videos. Thank you! 👍👍
You are a really cool, nice guy Matt. Thanks for the videos .🙂✌
I hope you are still filming. You're really very good. Thanks for sharing
Again, Matt, a darn good spirit you have ! And R.E.S.P.E.C.T,.
I don’t know how many times, after watching your videos, that I’ve told my wife that I can say a thing about these people getting stuck. I’ve been there.
Thank you for being a nice person.
Those couch internet warriors always know best how to drive anywhere :D .... Makes me laugh really. Nice vids Matt.
thats me..should be a mandatory thing of knowledge,,sand = low tire pressures..do not,take the interesting track,stay on good ground...like matt says,,he cant mess with there vehicles,its an insurance claim against him,unless the client o.k,s it.on film or writing..
