It’s Almost Like They Didn’t Want To Be Rescued
So I got a call for a lost side by side, but I lost something much worse.

You should get a radio GPS collar for Max so he can continuously "mark" his own pin. It will make it much easier to find him so you can bring him with you more often.
Tags are cheaper and work incredibly well. Great idea.
@@TheCosmicRealm3 I thought tags relied on nearby cellphones to communicate back. No nearby cellphones, no contact. I have a stand-alone Loc8tor system but it's not good for more than a few hundred feet.
Someone should invent a geo fence so he doesn’t go more than a certain distance like 300 feet or 500 ft, etc. from a set point. Leave the setpoint device in the main vehicle.
@@wam7484 You could certainly be right. I could have swore that the GPS trackers were long-range as well.
FI Collars are great.
Sooooo..... Max needs a collar that says, "I'm in need of a recovery ! Call Matt's Off Road Recovery !" 🤣
Yeah with Matt’s cell#
Max demonstrating why Max doesn't go on recoveries anymore.
Noice
That would be a great idea! Additionally, with Max being the breed that he is, he does not have an instinct to stay near, or “herd” his people. He is more of a hunting breed, which is why hunting breeds need firm command training to stay near. Lady and Peanut both have the herding instinct and require minimal effort to keep nearby.
Hi bro
Sending MASSIVE LOVE to the couple that gave Max some water. Major thanks for thoughtful caring people.
Give max a gps collar and strap him with a gopro. Would love to see his adventures.
Incredible engine. No one ever talks about how that old 8.1L works flawlessly and absolutely dominates. It deserves some love.
It’s a great low rpm air pump.
I've got one in my ton truck. I honestly prefer it to the diesel. It's reliable and cheap to maintain. Burns gas like it's going out of style though.
@@orange3203yea I’m getting like 8 out of mine😂
@@adamriale9065I get like 24 out of my Cummins
That and a 6.0 or older 5.3 even the 4.8. Those things are tanks
This is the day I found Max. No collar, I called the shop and they said it wasn’t him. Glad we got the good boy home. I owe you a Jeff’s Off-road Dog Recovery tshirt 😂
Kaulin should get the most improved player award - he is really showing what he can do.
It's been a beautiful experience seeing Matt guide his sons into young men he can respect and rely on.
Please start every video with the pin instructions. It's literally the most useful information I've learned from watching this channel.
Yes! Maybe dedicate an entire video checklist on “How to call for help.” Cover things like how to set/share a map pin. Plus “don’t unhook your trailer” and “don’t run over the rope.”
Congratulations alex 👏 maybe in a few MORR years you'll learn to change a flat tire, or even put gas in. Good luck to ya. 👍
I didn't know pins worked outside coverage areas
@@theuglytruth8162 lol, UGLY!!!!!!!!!!! I was beginning to think you wouldn't show! I see you are branching out from Matt and starting to bash others too! Good on you for your growing diversity! BTW: Still waiting on your videos where you show everybody else how it should be done...
@@katcorotas long as you have some cell service to send it, it will work anywhere
I'm so happy to see Tom Tom still in the videos. Thanks Matt and video team!
Me too. I actually got really sad when they announced he was leaving. I'm glad he had his own KZhead channel as it's sucks to lose such great people.
Are these episodes backdated, or is TomTom going to keep making appearances? That would make me happy.
It was filmed before he left, obviously.
He's only five minutes away he said in a previous video that he would definitely be popping in@calaveth
@@abuckcat That's true but I'm positive that this video is from before he left. They have a lot of back videos. Some videos coming out now may even be from before the Off Road Games.
Sheep dogs and other herding breeds will generally always stay closer to their owners. When I hike my collie (who’s a lot like peanut) always stays within eye site. Our black lab just goes off and makes her own adventures.
Yup. I've owned lots of Labs, and a few Shetland Sheepdogs. The Labs will head off and forget about you. The sheepdogs are always paying attention and staying nearby; they are herding you.
That's the difference between a smart working breed and not so smart non working breed of dog.
yeah we had cros breed lab and he always took his own collar chain thingy in the mouth and walked himself for like half hour and come back on his own 🤣
Some Labs are just "meth Labs"...tweaky with attention span of... SQUIRREL!
I have never had any trouble with my Boxer or her pup which is part Boxer , German Shepard and something else ! The dad was a German Shepard mix just not sure what it was . Other than something stupid because he would dig up cement stepping stones and chew them to pieces !
Maxx had a great day, met a few new people and had a nice little adventure. That dog is living the dream.
Then got locked up. 😂
He also could easily have had a terrible day and never made it home.
My son works for the DOT, they have a cone truck with a racing seat hanging off the side with a 4 point harness, the lucky guy picking up or putting out cones rides in the seat. The wrecker needs a seat or two attached with a roll cage wrapped around them.
Woah, a side by side without the wheel dangling off!
Lol
Yeah that’s rare?
Wait until you find out how they do in competitions like King of the Hammers
Only halfway dangling off
Only because they did the tie rod delete before the ball joint left the chat 🤣
Glad you respect the 'no fly' zone' ... and that Max was found too 🙂
Often the drone software itself will enforce these.
@@rlaxton666yep, it won't even let you take off unless you have put in a request and it was approved
F-15EX has joined the chat.
All of these rescues ive seen over the years, Max is by far the most ive been invested
I had no clue making a pin was that easy, Thank You. Max's collar; I am Max, I belong to Matt's off-road recovery. side by side are just NOT made strong enough.
"We are very good dogs." - Peanut and Lady, riding in the CanAm
Looks like somebody has been feeding Lady some extra rations. All those dogs sure are lucky to get to run like that and it's fun to see them having fun.
Matt said in an episode that Ed was in charge of feeding the dogs, and they all got a little portly. So now they get pre portioned meals, so Ed doesn’t give them too much.
Lady's not fat. She's just big boned. ;-)
Cattle rancher next door has a pair of dogs that break off like Max to do their own thing along miles of creek bottom valley flanked by canyons. Older Sammie will just sit down when tired in some random spot and await pickup while Eddie roams. Happily I moved on the only adjoining farm and now they just show up here, get their biscuits and know I'll be dropping a dime for quick pickup.
It always starts a person worrying when the dog disappears especially out in that vast country. Happy you found him.
Max,Lady,and Peanut are superstars.
Peanut is so good
@@paddington1670 It's not 'fair' to pick favourites, but Peanut is exceptional.
Lady and Peanut are true watch dogs ..... You work and they watch ..... Max not so much, he's an adventurer
Max is hilarious. He's a wild child! He cannot be contained!
_Born to RUN!_
Man that Jake seems like he's always glad to be there. Hard worker.
You have great people there. So glad someone took Max in so he was safe. The way you take care of your dogs add a high level of respect from me, not that that matters, but I like dogs more than people must of the time.
13:20 My Max, the dog in my blue banner, was doing the same all the time. Did cost me a fortune to pay for the expenses bringing him to the shelter, because he also got caught every time. Had a tracker on him, as soon as they got available, which saved me most time then. Miss him very much, great personality, although he always did his own thing.
Folks that go wheeling off highway without proper gear or knowledge is kinda like a non swimmer playing near deep water. Everything is fine until it is not. Glad the one couple has spare water to share with Max. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
If Colby has his part 107 cert, and I’m assuming he does, he can request permission to fly in the airport’s airspace when you need it using the LAANC system. They just need to know when and where he’s flying and at what altitude for approval. Great recovery! Glad Max got home safe.
For Max, maybe get yourself a horn with a unique sound and get him used to it. Then you could honk it during Max Recovery Missions and maybe he'd find you sooner/easier.
The more that I watch you all, Rory and his team, Paul and his team, the more appreciation that I have for the skill level that you all drive with in a matter of fact manner. It is the hundreds and thousands of hours that you all have spent behind the wheel of trail machines that makes your skill level so amazing. It's not something that mere mortals should attempt, yet many do, which is why you all have the businesses that you do. If folks listen properly to this video they can see that even Kaulin who has grown up with this activity, is pretty adept at wheeling, still has a lot to learn. Keep up your great work
I was worried bout not funding Max, but someone found him and brought him to the pound. lol, the moment Matt loaded Max in the truck , he shook his head, and I shook my head the same time😊 Kaulins did a great job driving the Wrecker and in the side by side. Great recovery. 🤙😎
The wrecker is just sooo the bomb !!! You guy's did such a great job building that ❤❤👍👊
I had real anxiety for Max! Glad he was found, great video crew!
Beautiful scenery. Seems like a terrific place to work. Maybe you can get a collar cam, so Max can show us the best rabbit holes to chase!
I was just by your shop last Thursday to grab a T-shirt, and the young man working was kind enough to allow my son and I to take a few pics with the Banana, Moorvair, and the heavy wrecker..Made the trip from Mississippi to Utah that much better! (watching my daughter receive her MBA from SUU on her birthday was pretty cool too😀.)
Max takes the maximum of your patients. It's a good thing he's such a cool dog.
Since Max responds to noise, train him to recognize to a special sounding loud horn or device on your person/vehicle.
You'd think he'd be able to find the suspension on the Wrecker from anywhere in Utah
@@anthonyingersoll2236 now that's funny!
I have three little doggos (Springer spaniels & a retriever) - the boy, whose the eldest is constantly getting lost. Always chasing squirrels and rabbits in the woods. My two girls never go far, always check what's ahead, but never go too far and never leave my line of sight. I finally trained them to find him. So now if he's lost they will find where he's hiding. One thing, the expanse where you are is something else though. Everything where I am is with an hour walking distance and he never goes much further than that.
Older retrievers tend to get tunnel vision. It can really alter their behavior and ability to know where they're going. They lose the peripheral of their vision and tend to run off with their face down because they're relying more heavily on smell/sound. Then they look up without realizing they've been running away for a half mile and start to panic.
Matt needs an e-bike to go scout. Needs a bike rack on the Banana. I bet he knows a guy too! 🚲
What about making a sling that cradles the tires out of the same stuff your matt straps are made of? Would be easy to stash in the boxes if made detachable.
12:05 to 12:12 , the traction is unbelievable. Those tyres have settled in nicely.
Just love 💘 how MORR on Matts daycare is expanding to the dogs. 😂
I'll bet you do! You would love to be Matt's lap dog, huh? Anyway, cheers!
So glad that Max was found. God Bless you all.
Peanut is just such a lovely dog, she's always willing to accompany her humans no matter where they go
When my dog bear got old he lost his hearing took off on the mesa sniffing yotties tracks, I went home after 5 hrs and found him in the morning! Must of felt the rumble of the truck! He also must of made friends with the locals cuz he didn’t get eaten!! Chow/ newfee!!best friend I ever had!! Bear still lives in all dogs!!!
What can you say? Max is Max! Nice recovery!
Been steaming for a month straight. Liking all the new to me episodes, even from years ago ! !
I'm not sure about everyone else, but I"m "Maxed" out after watching this one!! Getting Max out of the pound puts a whole new spin on "we'll get em out"! LOL!! Not having the use of the drone was really huge! It could have be used for a Max spotting flight! Still a great recovery Team MORR!!
The rock formations are fascinating. Glad you and Max are reunited.
Every SAR person in the world feels your pain. It's amazing how many people are clueless as to their location. Folks, get an InReach or similar device if you're going out into the boonies.
Or learn to get the GPS coordinates from your cell phone. I am not aware of any mainstream phones out there that don't have a built in GPS chip that works with zero cell phone coverage. I purchased a trac phone to use as an MP3 player, and to run Avenza, which keeps and runs maps without cell coverage, and the compass on an Iphone will show your GPS coordinates.
@@coopercovelo AFAIK even the maps app, at least on android and google maps will show coordinates without cell service. Its also a good idea to just download the maps of your local/hiking/offroading area to your phones storage so that you arent dependent on cell service to see maps.
@@coopercoveloCoordinates are nice and useful, but even moreso if you can actually get them to someone when you need help... A phone won't necessarily do that if you're far enough out, an InReach or SPOT device will. They might need a while to make contact, but they'll definitely be quicker than hiking with a broken leg.
You don't need an inreach. They're helpful but overkill for most people. Your cell phone without service is 100% capable of marking your GPS location just as accurately as an inreach. Nowadays phones can even use sat to SOS, so you really don't need an inreach.
@@CRneu I'm not aware of a single consumer phone that could use outbound satellite communications. You really should check your facts here, because transmitters that can even reach satellites need a fairly large antenna and a *lot* of power, so they should be rather obvious.
I suggest you train your dogs to respond to a loud horn, whistle or bell. When you're almost ready to leave, make the "return" noise. Feed them something special like roast chicken after every animal shows up. Max will do much better at sticking around for the return call and the other dogs will help because they don't get the special treat until everyone is back.
The editing at the beginning of this video is awesome. Stitched together seamlessly. I'm in awe. As always, MORR got them out, glad Max was found safe, hopefully he is chipped and getting a gps collar if he wants to continue this line of work. Awesome scenery you get to work in. Best,jc
Thank you Matt and crew for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery , great recovery and finding Max !
Tom Tom and Matt what a dream team. You guys rock keep on pushin
I am so glad You found MAX !! I LOVE YOU ALL @ M.O.R.R. !!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Kaulin is getting that wrecker pretty good. So many recovery vehicles and each is unique to learn.
Glad to see Tom is still in the videos!
I find it incredible that the makers of RZR's and other side by sides don't fit towing/lifting eyes on them. 👎
That would be admitting that they break.
Max needs an AirTag or gps collar
Tags need to be near another phone in order to update location ...so gps is the way to go.
@@hines862009 he was by multiple other phones. the folks who watered him, and the folks who turned him into the pound. a tag with matts number would be enough in both cases.
Air tag wouldn't work without other iPhones in the area to "report" his location back. If he's out in the rocks you won't get any useful location. Those are best in densely populated areas, not in remote country with minimal cell service and reliance on "i devices" to pass on the data.
@@hines862009 not 100% on this but i think the newer ones work on gps now
Max goes toward people… People have phones. So he’d ping as he travels. An Air Tag would be cheap insurance (no on-going service fees).
I love seeing all of the incredible landscapes and rocks, especially accompanied by the Wrecker's suspension noise as it crawls over it all.
Good seein all 3 dogs out and about livin the good life.
Everyone keeps saying to get a GPS collar for Max. But it would still need cell data service to send the GPS coordinates to someone. And the places Max will go adventuring probably doesn't have any cell signal at all, or only intermittent. People know to get to high ground to try and get a connection, but Max wouldn't know to do that.
There are GPS collars for dogs that use radio frequencies and a dedicated receiver to allow GPS tracking without cell signals- like Dogtra or Garmin. We use them on our SAR dogs, and get 5-10 miles of range in the woods of the Southeast.
Got a tractive collar for my pup on recommendation from Andrew Camarata. works great to find the little explorer!!
good job on the recovery, even better job getting old max back, thanks for sharing
Thank God you found Max
So glad that was a happy ending! Is Max's nickname "manufactured drama"?
You need to build a passenger seat on the back of the wrecker haha put it up a bit higher so whoevers up there can try to spot from up top too lol
You mean like that vehicle from Mad Max?
That wrecker is a thing of beauty...a masterpiece for all time
Tom Toms knowledge and experience is outstanding. Glad he has his own channel too!
So funny I paused this video to go learn how to drop a pin. 😂
That's scary, self preservation man... Also learn how to download your maps on google so you can be offline and still get directions
You should teach the dogs to find stranded vehicles
Wow! Just discovered this channel and it is very very impressive. The ingenuity as well as the skills level is off the chart.. Thank you for sharing your experience and stories.
MORR = Maxs' Offroad Roamer
Yellow side by side? FREE TOW
Chasing waterfalls great line..great video. You need gps collars for the dogs
Great recovery. The HW is doing it with ease. Good to see that people took care of Max, well done!
Ohh, we love Max! Thanks for sharing MORR team!
Here's a thought! Get MAX a GPS Coller.
GPS collars require cellular communication to relay the location info. Most of the remote areas do not have reliable cellular reception to either send the GPS info, or to receive it.
@@BOYTLeRoyJenkins Get a satellite GPS.. MAX is worth it. :D
@@user-vz5my4wz4d unfortunately, I don't believe such a product exists. If it did the cost would be ridiculously expensive.
@@BOYTLeRoyJenkins you've been wrong on both fronts here. not all trackers need cellular reception, and satellite trackers exist. the devices aren't expensive, the monthly subscription is. there have been radio trackers for 3 decades now, from e.g. garmin, and there's also the spot trace if you want a satellite gps tracker
@@BOYTLeRoyJenkins BOOYA! What @markifi said. :P
Am I crazy or is that Max right there in the bush behind them at 11:00 ! Right to the left of the banana!
11:55 the new gear box/trans case or whatever you changed a few weeks ago and the whole "product development" makes the wrecker an absolute beast. Looks so effortless... love it.
That wrecker is absolutely amazing.
Good job. Good to see Tom Tom is still making the cut.
Cheap chinese steel on these next gen razors and side by sides is going to keep you ultra busy.
Don't blame the steel. Someone spec'd that steel, probably due to cost constraints.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony I've examined over 1000 busted razor parts and over 75% of them were found to have porosity and all were chinese.
@@vernowen2083 If it passes the manufacturer's QC process then you can't blame the steel or the manufacturing. They know what they are doing. They could have the parts made in China by competent companies, but they chose the cheap ones. Lots of Chinese companies produce quality products, but many do not.
Max is hilarious!😂
Love it. Good old fashioned Matt adventure. A little relaxation for a retired trucker.😊
How about sound proofing insulation on the floorboards of the Banana?
It would help a little bit but nothing is going to quiet the sound of straight cut gears. Sound deading on the floor boards won't do enough to make it worth the work to install it.
GPS data is also saved to most photos taken with smartphones... So any photo they took with have the position embedded in it...
Often that isn't actually a gps location though it's a coarse/network location and out there it could be miles off.
I do not know why but it always cracks me up when the dogs are in the vehicle that's being towed. Reminds me of little kids hanging out and happy to be along.
You and the team are amazing.
People riding on the back of the wrecker seems like such a safety hazard. Definitely an accident waiting to happen that can easily be avoided
It is just like when we rode in the back of flat bed farm trucks. We was ok.
Taking a risk is a personal decision, let's keep it that way.
@@340duster8My great uncle had a farm/work truck, just 2 seats in the cab, he'd throw folding chairs in the bed that we'd sit in and go around town, was awesome.
I'VE SAID IT BEFORE A LITTLE RUMBLE SEAT LIKE THAT ONE IN A KING CAB RANGER !
Agreed. They even have a perfect spot to put a couple of seats so they could buckle in. And obviously any time there's a chance of a roll over, they wouldn't sit there anyway.
TY Jake for the back of the wrecker insight, I always wonder what it's like, appreciate the update.
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Wow! So much fun watching that wrecker work! Fabulous!
Awesome Video! So happy you found Max!❤
Thanks to this channel, when I got stuck near Green River last month, I knew precisely what to send the off road recovery team. Not only is this channel fun, it's educational!
Awesome scenery as always. So amazing that these beautiful places exist. Someday I want to see these sights!! Thanks MORR TEAM for taking us all there through video! 🙂
12:10 amazing machine flawlessly crawls up🔥🔥
Matt needs a couple of rear seats from a Suzuki Brat for the back of the off road wrecker.
That is why I wish that OnX still had gps support rather than only on phone. The big problem with the phone app is that you need to download an offline map before needing the program in areas out of service. When travelling to new areas one never knows when they will lose cell coverage.
You guys are lucky to live and work in such a wonderful part of the country....awesome scenery and fascinating geology!
Hey Matt I'm glad you are able to find Max.
