26:35 So cute. This little kid had a great day eating good food and enjoying the river and wanted to say bye to Matt as thanks. And Matt stopped mid recording to say bye back. This is how you know families will love the Desperado Ranch.
yeah, that was a rally cool moment in the video that had me smiling all over. It shows how genuinely nice Matt is and how everyone, even the kids are drawn to him.
@@MadScientistBBQ thanks for coming out in the heat and cooking. A long time viewer of your channel. The burnt ends were great. Thank you and thank you. Les and nephew Luke.
Y'all. Matt took pictures with people and signed autographs in the merch booth for at least 3 hours straight. Maybe more. Hospitality across the board was top notch. So much fun. Matt, please don't go too big next time. Overcrowded takes away the experience. This was perfect. You could prob stretch it a little, but don't go too crazy!
We were there and it was great. I even got mistaken for Dr. Lee. Didn't meet Matt as he was always surrounded but talked to Dr. Lee, Operator Drewski, Jeremy Yoder, and Mikey. Met people from several states away and everyone was chill. The food was delicious and those sliders were heavenly. Thank you Matt and crew!
my ABSOLUTE favorite part of matt is how much he cares about kids, you can see it in every interaction he has in past videos and this one is no different... just a great guy, with that strong dad energy... i salute you sir, never change!
This was such a rad event! People were amazing, BBQ was OUTSTANDING and the only thing hotter than the weather were our sauces😜. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and had some fun with us and to the DEMO team for letting us 🇨🇦's come hang. 🎉🍻🍖🔥
No need to apologize to the viewers for not talking to the camera. You have your hands FULL. Be the great host to your physical guests, you have a resort to get rolling, your presence is required 👍👍 Seems like a great success. Congratulations, Matt. ...and the Cuda is up and running, too. Nice.
We went there for a Daddy - daughter get away and had a blast! Everyone was just having a great time and people were so friendly! We'll definitely be going back! But we will be sure to be better prepared for the heat!
Thank you Matt and crew for having me out! I had a blast and met so many amazing people. The food was insane. Nice to meet you all! I'm only an hour away so I will definitely go to the next one.
Dr. Matt Carriker is living the American Dream to the fullest. It’s men like this who do whatever it takes to fulfill their dreams and in so doing, bring prosperity to their communities. Kudos, Matt!
Matt, thank you for bringing/sharing the epic party to us poors who can't afford to travel. I've watched Demo/Vet/Off Ranch since you started and I think this is the first time you've made me tear up. Thanks for being the most wholesome dude. We all love you.
Does the Demolition Ranch family and team know how to throw a party? Hell yea they do. Matt, the content you started when you bought your house and rebuilt it, THEN bought the Demolition Ranch Resort has been first class entertainment. You have reached a whole new level with BootySnapple and Meat Feast! Keep up the great work.
Seeing you go from random custom shotgun shells to this is amazing. "Do better today than yesterday, Do better tomorrow than today" Creepy Cooter would be proud. 🤟🖤 Keep it up Matt.
That would be a good event. Smoking brats and brat burgers and have alcohol. I’m not a drinker but I can absolutely see the appeal for an event like that.
@@crazyguy_1233 especially since they’ve been having a lot of beer sponsors. Not just Miller Light but also that guy with the other resort and brewery. And I’m guessing after Meat Fest they can better estimate the demand. Plus they already said October would be a better time for an event weather wise
@@Demo_Camera_Guy super cool I had a little cameo after Matt and Clay made us feel special announcing that I asked my GF to marry me. Ya'll are just really genuinely awesome people! Everyone was so nice and it was a great event. Glad we made the trip from GA. And will definitely come again. We may even make it an anniversary spot!
Great turnout. Almost didn't watch because August 3rd was the day I lost My Dear Sweet Beautiful Daughter Jessica. She's been gone for 7 years and I still can't wrap my mind around the fact Jessica is gone. Seeing you all having fun truly warms my Heart. Love From Michigan and it's a beautiful evening. BTW I have 2 children whom are Texans.
Having happy people at your place changes the land, they brings positive energy, and the land responds, plants grow better, and the general vibe of a place inhabited by positivity is a better place.
Had such a good time!!! The food was amazing, the beer was refreshing, the river was perfect!!!! EVERYONE involved had a smile on their face the entire day,, from Matt to Jenna, to Mikey, to all the people cooking and seving the BBQ, the guys and gal who served the drinks, to the people at t the merch booth, EVERYONE had a smile on their face and looked to be enjoying themselves.....This was an absolute SUCCESS and I can't wait for Meat Fest II
@staceygram5555 Yes, all the BBQ, beer, and alcohol were included in the price of the ticket. I got there at 11 when it opened, I probably ate 3 or 4 times (serving sizes were small personal sizes) brisket, sausage, ribs, etc etc. i left about 5pm and they were still serving food.
Epic.... so many good people, so many grill masters, and law enforcement ❤ support! America still has a chance. Thanks, Matt and team thanks for taking a chance.
25:57 If you're going to have more outdoor events (BootySnapple each April, Meat Fest each August, etc), build a permanent pavilion (>50'x>120') with solar panels, big ass fans, (rain collection) water, picnic tables.
Yep the solar panels over the parking area would be a good way to provide shade and power, one of the guys I was waiting with at like 9:30 had that idea
Matt, Mr. Animal here, but my friends call me Animal. I am so proud for you and your crew. It does my heart good to see your crew, the crowd, and the vendors all come together to put on an amazing event. God bless ya'll, love ya'll, and God bless America.
I remember one of the first offtheranch videos I watched was Mere and Matt building a dinner table and I thought it was so cool that they were willing to do it themselves. It is so crazy to see all the stuff they have built from ground up since then good job Matt! I love watching the progress of these videos its super inspirational!!
I am so happy for you brother. Families having fun together and you having a part in it genuinely brings you joy. That clearly fuels you and that's why we all know you will get this resort up and running and it will be a massive success.
Brother i bet your Father is extremely proud of you. Mere definitely scored and I hope your kids appreciate their parents because you guys are killing it and in 10 years you're going to be on the Forbes 500 list. Good job brother you have the touch
OMG!, you should come back and do a Oktoberfest just like this one in October so it won’t be so hot and you can get more people to come out. I love it. This was a Great idea.❤
We had a great time at Meat Fest. Excellent food! Really enjoyed seeing the whole gang out there. And thanks to the officers that were out there in 100+ temps in their uniforms and vests. The wife had a great time, too! We will be back for the next event.
I thought that looked like Zombugg when he passed the camera over it. Y'all should do something with some of the others that have lifted 4x4 cars. Shawn Cross has a diesel Crown Vic named Greta with something like 52" rear tires in east Texas, there's a place here in Chattanooga with a dually '49 Packard, and Death Wish had several more show up to their Mud Buggy Adventure a few years ago.
Am I the only one hoping that I'd see even the blurriest of sightings of Mere and Matt's kids in the video? I totally understand and support Matt's decision to keep them off camera. But it makes me kind of sad knowing we're never going to see their wholesome, loving interactions that help make people fall in love with this channel.
I saw Mikey again!!! We love him!! Can we have an episode with a Mikey Q&A? Who is Mikey??🤔🤔 How did you meet? What all does he do for the demo team? 4:36
I found Matt on Vet Ranch years ago and have been watching ever since! The abandoned property projects have been some of the coolest content! I can’t wait to see what else he can do👏🏻
@@VTSteve Its really flavorful - the ingredients are so unique. Grabbed a bottle of the Hop’t Sauce and it actually has a hoppy after taste - going to be amazing on chicken/pork.
So, can we get an Al Frugoni restaurant AT Desperado Ranch when it's fully operational? That would be pretty awesome. Maybe a smaller venue, like less than 20 tables, book in advance.
I am so thrilled that the event was a success and that everyone had so much fun and MEAT!! I wish I could have been there but it brought a big smile to my face to see all of the festivities. You've got a great crew and associates to keep you guys progressing in the right ways. You all rock!! 👍👍
I really hope Mere and the kids got to enjoy the event. Looked like a great time. Congratulations, Matt, on another successful event. Can't wait to see the resort in a year. Definitely will be a destination in Texas.
Martin's Potato Rolls? Hell yea!! Local company for me, Chambersburg, Pa! I'm a truck driver out of Chambersburg, and the smell driving past them is phenomenal.
The sheriff's are out there to make sure everybody is having fun and obeying the rules and not making a stink at a wholesome event. Matt and his crew/friends/etc. are 100% capable of taking care of themselves and do not need security.....(i.e. people are definitely carrying if others decide to act like idiots at an event everyone is just enjoying)
My dad said he'd love to come down and smoke at the next Meatfest. We do it competitively so, what better way to treat people to good eats, and spread our name than come out to smoke for yall.
Looks Fabulous! Suggestion for next summer - plan 3 or 4 of them! Different vendors, Different themes (one for kids?) Maybe one on 3 or 4 day holidays, too. I know it's tons of work. but owning a Resort will always be tons of work! Congratulations, you ARE bringing the "abandoned" resort back to life.
I was looking at that giant field and imagining the epic corn or hay maze that could be built in that area.. I have a feeling no matter what he's gonna do great things :)
Just a follower for many years wanting to give a shout out to the local Law Enforcement Officers who were on station for this event. Hope ya fed them well. Love ya right back.
he is such a perfect ambassador for our beautiful state! if he ever wanted to make that an official part of his life i have no doubt that people would vote for him... but he is too smart to ruin his life with politics lol
How could you not love this guy. It is so nice to come home and watch all these people having a great time and enjoying life. Thank you again Matt and crew you have once again turned a horrible day around for me and made me laugh and smile and forget all about the rest of the nonsense.
Feels like this could've easily been an hour long vlog and I'd watch every minute of it. Meat Fest 2024 was a massive success!!! Great job to the whole Demo team and partners!!
Love the community you are forming for friends and families! You are hands down my favorite person on this planet outside most of my family!! I hope the army puts me in texas so i can come to one of your events! Love you Matt, and your crew. Great people. Keep doing what yall are doing
You should do this annually or semi annually. It’s a great fundraiser for the resort and is going to boost business when the place is fully open. Plus it’s fun for the fans. There are a few more events I’ve seen suggested that could go well. You can do a few car shows, and Oktoberfest. I think those two would be great additions.
This looks like a lot of fun! I can’t wait for you to have an annual schedule out so i have enough time to make it to one of your events!! Keep up the awesome work you are doing, bringing life back into that beautiful piece of Texas land!!!
I totally enjoyed this episode! Awesome event, so happy to see real People gathering and enjoying life, one another and food and fun! Kudos, Matt Karriker!
It's great to see you all smiling and not stressed. You have a great team around you, and it was on display in full effect! Moving south soon, and hope to come see ya at some point!
Once the Resort opens you could do this First of every month. Might have to think about a Brewery, long term you got enough to keep you busy at the moment. Have a little break.... Then get back in that hole.
Dig baby dig. 😂😂😂 Can’t wait to see what’s at the bottom. I saw some property for sale near by that had an awesome cave already accessible. I think it was 7 acres or so. Matt should check it out. 😂😂😂😂😂
Huge Miller Lite customer here.. Glad they know their customer base. My purchases will have extra warm and fuzzy now. The food looked so good at this event. Hopefully turns into annual event or more often!
Can't imagine what it will be like once all the construction projects on the ranch are completed. I give you 3 years and it will be one of the biggest events in the USA. I think you have a cash cow Matt, Roost that cow!!! You hold this in the October time frame or when its still warm enough to use the river and you will hit the jackpot
Looks like another awesome success! Congratulations to you, your team, and everyone supporting you in your ambitious dreams of making the ranch a fully functional place for awesome events!
This looks like such a great time.... I wish we could see Meredith and the kids once in awhile. I understand why you don't have them on camera anymore, but i do miss them. Take care Matt, Mikey, tattoo Mere, And everybody else.
Hard to find anyone as humble as Matt that’s made it this big and yet he still busts ass to make it all happen. No one does it better than the demolitia!
Yesss! What A Great Day! So Much Meat And Good Times. Can't Wait Till Next Year!
Don't forget the sides. That would be a rookie move.
Everybody...likes a clean ween😂😂
What a great collaboration!!! Awesome!!!
You guys rocked it!!
Thx for being there Bradley. Love it when my worlds collide! 🫡
26:35 So cute. This little kid had a great day eating good food and enjoying the river and wanted to say bye to Matt as thanks. And Matt stopped mid recording to say bye back. This is how you know families will love the Desperado Ranch.

I did the same thing at Cletus and cars. Didn’t talk to Matt because he’s got 1000 people waiting to see him every time he appears
What does something like this cost?
Those sliders caught my eye more than anything else. Looked amazing.
@bbeen40 if im not mistaken, the tickets were $65
Damn good time. Looking forward to the next one

Your sauces look very interesting on your website
I'm gonna have to place an order
The fact he even heard and said “bye” to the little kid that said Bye Matt at the end ❤

@@crazyguy_1233they could also serve alcohol free beers and drinks for those who cant drink alcohilic drinks
Never gets old when good hard-working Americans get together to have fun. Texas style.
Next gathering you guys need to set up a car show!! Special parking for anyone with something to show off!!!
exactly something we were thinking!!!
ABSOLUTELY, that is a fantastic idea 👍
A car show would be grand!
I'm MC-ing a car show on the 13th up here in Castle Rock, WA. Come on up!

id say based on the events you've done so far once you get everything built and fixed up your going to have one of the coolest resorts in the country.

Matt is a great guy and he has surrounded himself with great people. He's living the dream.
Every video he ever makes will get my view.
Matt out did himself again. Great job Matt and The Demo Ranch Team.
25:57 If you're going to have more outdoor events (BootySnapple each April, Meat Fest each August, etc), build a permanent pavilion (>50'x>120') with solar panels, big ass fans, (rain collection) water, picnic tables.
Yep the solar panels over the parking area would be a good way to provide shade and power, one of the guys I was waiting with at like 9:30 had that idea
Sponsor that idea and it will happen.
Every guy manning the grill just wants to share the food and hope to make people happy! Looks like an awesome time!!

No one calls you “Animal”.
That was the hardest introduction to a sentence I’ve ever heard

It is so crazy to see all the stuff they have built from ground up since then good job Matt! I love watching the progress of these videos its super inspirational!!

Damn, I forgot about that! ❤
The hot dogs were my favorite! ❤️ We had a blast! Thanks for having us out!
Making my mouth water from just the pictures I can’t even imagine how GOOD it smelled.
Yeah same....havent eaten yet, now im craving bbq!!!
I am so happy for you brother. Families having fun together and you having a part in it genuinely brings you joy. That clearly fuels you and that's why we all know you will get this resort up and running and it will be a massive success.
Thanks everybody who made this happen... God Bless you all!

Congrats to all involved, it looks like everyone had a blast and no bad vibes at all.
Next time we'll get the Monster Beetle off the trailer and let you take it for a rip! Thanks for the good time!
ZOMBUGG Looking 🔥 And should have taken it off the trailer, Subbed since your first video. 💪🏽
I thought that looked like Zombugg when he passed the camera over it.
Y'all should do something with some of the others that have lifted 4x4 cars. Shawn Cross has a diesel Crown Vic named Greta with something like 52" rear tires in east Texas, there's a place here in Chattanooga with a dually '49 Packard, and Death Wish had several more show up to their Mud Buggy Adventure a few years ago.
@@Stephens_offroad_and We'll do a lot more once we do the diesel swap.

Can we have an episode with a Mikey Q&A?
Who is Mikey??🤔🤔
How did you meet?
What all does he do for the demo team? 4:36
Yesss! Please:-)
Congratulations on your successful event. Hope Mere and the kids were able to enjoy the day.
The guy in the red white and blue thong is bringing “Meat” fest a whole different meaning 😂
I made the same joke to my wife when we saw him down by the river 😂
He understood the assignment
A thong goes between the butt cheeks. That was a speedo.
ROFL!
We were talking about that guy while we were there. lol
I found Matt on Vet Ranch years ago and have been watching ever since! The abandoned property projects have been some of the coolest content! I can’t wait to see what else he can do👏🏻
Props to Ginger Goat for repping us Canadians!
That was amazing stuff! And the rep cool as heck!
Ikr ?! Literally in my neck of the woods in Waterloo
Wish they had showed the product and a taste testing
@@VTSteve Its really flavorful - the ingredients are so unique. Grabbed a bottle of the Hop’t Sauce and it actually has a hoppy after taste - going to be amazing on chicken/pork.
That was a day to remember. Thanks Demo crew and everyone else who helped, sherrifs, emt's, fire guys, vendors! Man, so good!!!
So, can we get an Al Frugoni restaurant AT Desperado Ranch when it's fully operational? That would be pretty awesome. Maybe a smaller venue, like less than 20 tables, book in advance.
I am so thrilled that the event was a success and that everyone had so much fun and MEAT!! I wish I could have been there but it brought a big smile to my face to see all of the festivities.
You've got a great crew and associates to keep you guys progressing in the right ways. You all rock!! 👍👍
Such an American thing to have a Grand BBQ fair for no other reason then BBQ. We need many more of these.
One does not need a special reason to eat good food. Good food is it's own reason.
I think Matt needs to get on Hot Ones!!
The questions Shawn would ask would be great 👍
Hey, Brandon's back. It's good to see him again.
Yeah, Muscle Rod's gone real quiet lately.
I really enjoyed helping run the merch for Chud's and Mad Scientist! This was an awesome event.
I really hope Mere and the kids got to enjoy the event. Looked like a great time. Congratulations, Matt, on another successful event. Can't wait to see the resort in a year. Definitely will be a destination in Texas.
Martin's Potato Rolls? Hell yea!! Local company for me, Chambersburg, Pa! I'm a truck driver out of Chambersburg, and the smell driving past them is phenomenal.
Great to see the Sherriffs out there pulling security! Wish I lived closer. You throw the best festivals!
I saw a deputy several times. I wonder if Matt now needs to have security watch out for his personal security at his public events.
Deputies you mean?
The sheriff's are out there to make sure everybody is having fun and obeying the rules and not making a stink at a wholesome event. Matt and his crew/friends/etc. are 100% capable of taking care of themselves and do not need security.....(i.e. people are definitely carrying if others decide to act like idiots at an event everyone is just enjoying)

Keep it simple & make it later (AFTER Labor Day) the weather should be a little cooler, but still warm enough to enjoy the water..
Hey I can see me walking right at the beginning of the video lol. Had an absolute blast Matt. Enjoy the challenge coin.
Just a follower for many years wanting to give a shout out to the local Law Enforcement Officers who were on station for this event. Hope ya fed them well. Love ya right back.
Matt, you could scale this up as wide as the Texas sky. You are the perfect Texas ambassador.
he is such a perfect ambassador for our beautiful state! if he ever wanted to make that an official part of his life i have no doubt that people would vote for him... but he is too smart to ruin his life with politics lol
GOOD FOOD GOOD MUSIC GREAT SETTING WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR.😊😊
I am so happy for Matt, he deserves every success. He and his team work hard to put on amazing events. I look forward to attending one at some point.

Thank you Dr. Matt for sharing this 💯 Fantastic event!! Totally EPIC 🎉
It's great to see you all smiling and not stressed. You have a great team around you, and it was on display in full effect!
Moving south soon, and hope to come see ya at some point!
Glad to see at least one Canadian crew showed up to this awesome event!
WOO! Kitchener! Collingwood loves that you're there sharing Canadian ways! (GINGER GOAT!)
Once the Resort opens you could do this First of every month. Might have to think about a Brewery, long term you got enough to keep you busy at the moment. Have a little break.... Then get back in that hole.
Dig baby dig. 😂😂😂 Can’t wait to see what’s at the bottom. I saw some property for sale near by that had an awesome cave already accessible. I think it was 7 acres or so. Matt should check it out. 😂😂😂😂😂
Mikey always seems to be pumped anywhere, love it lol
Huge Miller Lite customer here.. Glad they know their customer base. My purchases will have extra warm and fuzzy now. The food looked so good at this event. Hopefully turns into annual event or more often!
Absolutely beautiful to see the support and image of what’s to come in the future 🇺🇸
Can't imagine what it will be like once all the construction projects on the ranch are completed. I give you 3 years and it will be one of the biggest events in the USA. I think you have a cash cow Matt, Roost that cow!!! You hold this in the October time frame or when its still warm enough to use the river and you will hit the jackpot
October Fest at the Desperado ranch!!
Looks like another awesome success! Congratulations to you, your team, and everyone supporting you in your ambitious dreams of making the ranch a fully functional place for awesome events!
This looks like such a great time.... I wish we could see Meredith and the kids once in awhile.
I understand why you don't have them on camera anymore, but i do miss them.
Take care Matt, Mikey, tattoo Mere, And everybody else.
That’s me in the green demolitia shirt fist bumping Mat! That was a great event and this was the icing on the cake!! Loved the river
Glad it was a success. You deserve it. Much respect. God Bless
I lived in kitchener Ontario for 24 years and iv never heard of ginger goat, I 1000% need to check it out now
We had a great time Matt, congrats to you and everyone on your crew.
Hard to find anyone as humble as Matt that’s made it this big and yet he still busts ass to make it all happen. No one does it better than the demolitia!
