Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
It’s nice to see Matt as a special guest on Tom's Off-Road Recovery.
Oh, that's hysterical!
Tom does seem to love the camera. Always shows up when it's running.
TORR 😂
Matt’s teaching the new guy how to drive the crazy stuff. 😅 Love the patience and trust you both have for each other. Matt also knows Tom will fix whatever he breaks !!😂
😂⁰
Good on Tom for calling Search and Rescue. He was definitely stuck. So glad it worked out the way it did.
That was not stuck. That was wedged. 😁
@@Backroad_Junkieit was so wedged, they could have used it as an anchor point to recover the Banana. Yankem ropes should start selling them. 😂
@@Backroad_Junkie 😂😂
Sad how useless some folks are. No planning and no sense of how to survive. Good thing there are smart folks out there like Tom and S&R.
@@35manningI've thought a land anchor should be among their tools
Hopefully y’all will see this. Maybe Matt and the crew could do a video and teach people how to give proper coordinates. I work medivac and it’s so frustrating trying to find someone that needs help when your looking miles away and the wrong location. Love watching you all keep up the great work and stay safe.
@@MooseTurder Yeah I was thinking something like this though at 50+mbytes it might be hard for people to install with poor signal. It also looks from the reviews like it wants some sort of data connection to work. Perhaps something like mini gps tracker, at 2.2MByte and explicitly no need for internet to run or something similar might be a useful option. Heh they could even roll their own, why not ;-)
Great video idea, I had mentioned it in the past but it's impossible for them to read everything, so it would be nice to give visibility to this thread.
These rescues fell in the "more money than brains" category... "I'm a pretty good off-roaders" famous last words...
Even if you don't have GPS app, geo-tagging a picture would be helpful.
@@MooseTurder What 3 words relies on an external service. Just get a fix on your location and sent it in. Any android or iphone can get raw gps coordinaties
It’s insanely impressive how Matt can eyeball a situation and know exactly what to do in seconds.
years of expiernce i presume.
I think Matt is much smarter than he lets on. Humble dude with lots of experience
no he’s an idiot i took one look at that huge step and immediately noticed he could’ve gone around
Dude took his trailer off roading with a f150 platinum
wow its almost like this is his job😮
As a rock climber, I totally approve of the use of the wedge. I’ve often seen times where you could use rock climbing techniques to establish anchors. Good job being creative!!
anchors than can pull a whole rig!?
@@yukairaSame technique, not the same equipment.
@@aphextwin5712 exactly. If I ever used a piece of my climbing gear for something like this, it would be retired immediately.
Wedges like some hitches can pull out with high velocity, smash through the windscreen and kill the driver.
@@craigbrown7956synthetic rope like they use has almost zero elongation, so very little snap back. Combined with the low weight means it wouldn't throw a wedge through a windshield. You would be lucky if the wedge moved more than a few inches.
17:20 If anyone is wondering what they are saying here, it translates to: "this is what he does for a living, dude!" My guess is that Matt connected the line to the wishbone up front, and one of the dude's there was like "he's gonna rip it off", in Spanish. However, as Matt has shown before on this channel it can be used as a recovery point.
Thanks for sharing the translation
I can't be the only one that's absolutely blown away with how good Matt is at reading the crawl situation and giving directions. Super impressive!
Tom is such a gosh dang good guy man. Genuine good ol boy 100%. These type of people are becoming increasingly harder and harder to find I feel like. Needless to say, I hope he stays on the channel for a long time. Cheers
Tom is a great guy. Seems like he is getting more screen time which I like.
Those type of guys are in every small town 😂❤
His car WAS AT ELEVEN YEARS OLD. It's second nature to him now.
Calling S&R was the right call. Good on Tom. Great to see Ed out on the recoveries again. What an amazing guy. Dig Dug needs some love!
Love seeing ED and Lizzy on a recovery. They are treasures.
Lizzys def a treasure 😍
Why?
@@ryandavids1129 ????
@@ryandavids1129 A woman that's at home in a shop is a rarity and the dream of a great many men. A treasure because many go their entire lives searching for one and never find one.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 absolutely 👍 and well said . Thank you for your comment. Lizzy is multitalented, spiritual, intelligent , beautiful and a personable woman. Her husband is a very fortunate man.
Not living in Utah but the fact you’re willing to pick up trash you pass by is a solid way of life! Thanks for the help with keeping our country clean! 🇺🇸
Good call on Tom's part to know when to call in reinforcements. Hearing Matt reassuringly tell the truck & trailer customer "She's a pro" did my heart good. I still remember when Lizzy first started going on occasional recoveries with Matt. She sure has gained a lot of experience, skills, and respect since then.
Amazing work by Tom, having to work the camera by himself, having to search for the guy and to be able to make the call to get search and rescue involved.
It’s great to see Ed back in the copilot/passenger seat , given weather reports!
Indeed....I missed Ed.....
Just like old times .... what a crew!
Need more ED! Almost sounds like a New T-Shirt or bumper sticker sales special ? ?
Yeah, we love Ed!!
@@yafois988😊😊😊
The angles and lines they take amaze me. Nothing can replace the experience Matt has in vehicle recovery.
Matt added to the adage "when in doubt gas it out" -- "cause it takes time to roll" 👍 Seconds count so often in driving, either off road or on. Great recoveries, as always. That Gold Geo Metro recovery was one for the ages, Lizzy will be telling her grandchildren about that one!😂 Stay safe and GOD bless
One thing I learned driving a vehicle with no AC in heat like this last year is you can stay cool with just a fan up to about 100 degrees. Above 100 it's like standing in front of an open oven. You don't cool off, you just get dehydrated.
With low humidity having a little air movement helps a ton. But, like you say much over body temp and it’s just hot air and gets miserable quick. High humidity can make stuff bad at lower temps. I chuckle when they mention 50% being high. It’s often 50% in my house with the A/C.
I just realized after watching MORR for years, that Ed's thumb is actually a microphone. How did I miss that for so long? Another fine installment. Thanks Matt and crew.
LOL!
When the guy took his photo with the T-shirt, I heard the guy in that background yell out, “say thank you, Wey” 😂 those guys were so appreciative. God works in mysterious ways. You guys were at the right place at the right time to help them out. That reminded me of a time I got stuck in the sands of the Tecate desert in Mexico. Out of nowhere, four guys in a 4X4 truck show up. They gave me a push and I was free. That hot summer heat would have killed me and my friend had it not been for them.
Watching Matt and Tomtom together, you can see the depth of the longtime friendship. You two are such fun to watch!
Good to see Max, and Ed get out on the job. That video of Lizzy and Randy being pulled out, is probably my favorite MORR video.
Text book recovery!😊
that recovery sledding through the sand put MORR on the map
Yeah that was my first video to see MORR and seeing Lizzy and Randy laughing so hard was quite fun to watch!
I've watched it a dozen times or more. Great pick me up on a stressful day. LOVE IT!!!
Which video is that?
Perhaps your next project could be to bring in all the parts for ALL the upgrades DigDug should have? It would be a great way to show TomTom the appreciation he deserves, especially after he surprised you all with a beautiful, reorganized shop! Great to see Lizzie and Ed both on a recovery again!!! Love ALL your content!
Your going too ruin the surprise! HAHA your right Tom has stepped into 4 other people's jobs
Matt, Ed and Lizzie on a recovery is a good day for all us viewers.
Heck yeah that's awesome idea
@@user-vx4ts8vm1lisn't it amazing the content that you can provide? 🇺🇸
Doug maybe you would consider this suggestion. Why not have 2 black iron pipes (thick wall) that are wider then the trailer, deburred and can store under trailer WITH access from either side (even sitting in a rack at an angle). Then you will have a pry bar / leverage bar and since they are round you can use them as rollers to help with the broken suspensions from dragging on ramps.
It must be like finding a needle in a haystack out there some days... then you find out youre looking in the wrong haystack 🙄🙄🙄 not sure how well the trails are signposted out there, but good on Tom for calling in SAR with all their extra resources. Good to see Ed out and about again too! 👍🏼
Glad to see Ed and Max out for a recovery.
It is good to see Max slim, trim, and out on a recovery again. Plus seeing Ed back out on recoveries, shows he has healed nicely.
Seems ed's neck was doing pretty 2ell
Seems ed's neck was doing pretty 2ell
It is so important to scout when ur out doing this alone. The search and rescue was the call to make. I bet you guys had fun doing this job after no human was in danger.
I absolutely love how you let Tom and others figure it out when it would be so much faster to just do it yourself. You are a very patient teacher. I know personally that learning it on your own sticks with you better but having the patience can be hard.
I've always wondered about these off-road recovery episodes about the human factor. Like many of them must have people that had to be rescued, self-rescue, or had help from other wheelers. And I completely understand why that's not covered in depth for privacy issues. But it was nice to hear Tom make the right call and send the professionals in to rescue especially in that insane heat of Southern Utah.
Awesome seeing Ed out on a recovery! So happy he is up, out, and about! Having Ed and Lizzy out there like the older video's. Great recoveries. Have a great weekend
Awesome to see the Ford owner saying ‘ALOHA’ It’s a Hawaiian word that translates to “the presence of breath” or “the breath of life”. Aloha is a way of living and treating each other with love and respect. It’s learning to love one’s self first and then spread that same love to others. It’s positive feelings and thoughts that simply multiply and spread. Matt and the team truly represent the aloha spirit. Love ya guys and what you do!
If you can truly live Aloha you are living to your best
This is a great example of why Matt breaks stuff on the banana and also why he doesn’t break more stuff on the banana. Excellent as always!!
Good call Tom. Calling search and rescue before things got dire was the wise move for sure.
What a joy to watch the relief come over the customer as you reached the top. He was so grateful! You and your crew are the best!😀
Once TomTom heard the guy was low on water and still not located he made the right call. One thing I learned while visiting Arizona 6 months ago is that you only hike half your water and it was only mid to high 80’s then. Can’t imagine how fast you’ll dehydrate with the current weather in the southwest. Don’t understand why he could talk on the phone but couldn’t give an accurate pin. I’m sure he was a little anxious by the time TomTom was talking to him.
24:52 Can't wait to get details on the new shop plans! Looks big, plenty of room for multiple projects at once!
"Gonna upgrade the steering, front suspension, rear suspension...". I see the empty shoulder points. How about some seatbelts in 'dig dug'? 🙂. ...or does it already have 'just' lap belts? It's great to see you all promoting the "leave the desert cleaner than you found it" practice! 👍💪
I love how Peanut kept finding whatever little sliver of shade was available and laying in it lol those are smart dogs. Mine would just be laying out in the sun until they died or something haha I guess thats a difference between a farm dog and a house dog!
Hello to all the wonderful people of MORR. I wanted to tell Matt that I am very impressed and proud of how well he has done as a father of 4 boys. I also have the joy of being blessed with 4 sons. Thank you for not having lack of faith or trust in their abilities and teaching them the tricks of your trade. I’m a true fan of your page and I have truly loved watching all of your videos and builds etc.., thanks for wonderful, excitement filled videos that are wholesome and educational for the family. I so wished that I could have made it out to meet you all for the Off Road Games. But health issues and financial issues kept me from doing so. Please tell Ole Ed hello from some of your best fans in NW Iowa. God bless you all. And your wonderful Queen of the family, Ms Jamie. Hope to meet you all some day, Lord willing. Troy Armstrong
Hey Matt and Tom, Im not sure of the service situation where you guys were, but just a heads up, Facebook Messenger has a feature where you can share your live location for 60 minutes to the person your messaging, if the customer activates that, you should be able to see right where they are. Also another similar feature, on Google Maps, if they start a route anywhere and hit options, they can share their location for up to 24 hours. Just a couple of tips for you. Hope this helps! 🌎
It was great to see Matt, Ed and Lizzy out working as a team again!
This were some awesome classic recoveries. That sound of the Morrvair under load is still one of the best. Great to see Ed and Lizzy in the show.
that guy saying his f150 and camper weigh 25k lbs had me cracking up. always a great video when Ed's involved!
Thought the exact same thing. Guy must be carrying 15k lbs in camping supplies with him if that weighs 25k hahaha
You two were hilarious making it over that crack .. how's that feel?... Super bad...😂😂 You should see how cool it looks... 😂😂😂😂
It's always a pleasure to see Ed and lizzie on recoveries
Side by side guys are a different breed. Can’t believe the trouble they get into!
Matts confidence and good nature put that stressed out customer at ease.
It is always good to see Ed on a recovery. I miss his weather reports Nd is unwavering support of Matt. “We get em out! “
Always good to see Ed out on recoveries! Really missed him while he was healing up!
Me too.
I would of been very worried doing some of these things but having someone like Matt who never shows when he's worried it calming. He makes you feel like it's all simple.
Lots of things are easy, only when you know how !
I agree. His demeanor is very calming even when he admits he's nervous.
That is confidence, it’s what I used to teach my operators.
All too simple lol
Man them black series campers are crazy expensive. No wonder the guy was a bit apprehensive!
Hey...MATT....thanks for setting up LIZZY telling that guy she's a PRO!👍👍👍she deserves that. Most boys today couldn't come close to keeping up with Lizzy..
i enjoy watching your recovery, here in my country, theres this old box suzuki samurai, with lexus 6 cylinder engine, rollin on tractor tyres (those slim profile large diameter tyre with wide threads), and that thing never fail going anywhere offroad (except proper road). even other proper 4x4 cant beat that tiny samurai.
Good to see Ed back on recoveries! Been worried about him and his health.
That was a great episode. I love when, referring to Lizzy,he says “ she’s a pro” 👍 Lizzy got some skills
Can you even IMAGINE how thrilling it would be to meet a capable girl like her! When she's doing her thing, she goes from cute to HOT!
Chill out man… :(
@@ethanalloway5946 FEADC
Matt’s team is so dynamic! Every member of the team keeps learning and growing!
his daughter does welding, has her own helmet and supplies. What every father should teach his daughter if only its knowing how to change a tire or tape up a water hose while having finger nails 🤗🐶🐶🦊
COSTA RICA...GREETINGS TO ALL, very nice to see Grandpa again, Tom from a distance you can see that he is a great person, and thanks for taking LIZZY to work.
Pura Vita
This was a great episode. I especially loved the confidence you instilled into the last customer with the trailer. You just took over and he couldn't have been more relieved. A+ #1 stuff
Customer: She's going to drive this out? Matt: No worries, she's a pro.
Does anybody empty their water tanks before being towed?
Great call Tom for search and rescue. Desert heat is a killer.
So awesome to see the lake full ! Praise Jesus for sending that snow and rain!
THIS is definitely an off-road rescue! And so nice to look! What a country! What a view ! The best office to work in ! Cheers from France 🇲🇫
The line you got TomTom to come in to get the side-by-side was perfect training trail for Tom Tom he needs the experience 💪 that was exactly what the banana was designed to do I underestimated that Rigwow is that capable ❤
This was a real good example of skill and knowledge combined to extract this unit and drive it out, fantastic!
That was absolutely fun!! Watching that last rescue of Matt driving the Morrvair to pull the pickup 🛻 with the ball-hitch pulling a small camper hooked to the pickup. Matt, had no trouble, none whatsoever!! WOO-HOO!!
11:03 That's a GREAT trail... If you're a Mountain Goat... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
New shop addition? Awesome. Its great seeing ole Ed out and about. Great video Guys
I enjoy watching your dogs having fun . Thank goodness for rescue teams never know when you're going to need them.
Love seeing ED and Lizzy on a recovery. They are treasures.. Love seeing ED and Lizzy on a recovery. They are treasures..
Thanks for reminding me how much I appreciate the mud in Florida.
I love that you went out of your way to help people you came across and still gave them a shirt! Awesome people
God Bless y’all for taking care of Ed like you do 🙏🏼
Found you guys about a year or so ago. Watching you guys is therapy for me when I just need to shut my head off. Thanks guys. U guys are awesome!!! Love how you all are such a good team!!
Man this episode had me laughing out loud. Matt and Tom's banter back and forth was extra spicy today. And that candy cane had me going😂 You funny editors you:)
Looked like they tried to cover up Ed's smoke with the candy cane.
@@user-vs7ec1wz5d haha thats what I thought too.
Yeah, they normally get the cane to hide the smoke alright, but the vibe of the episode made me feel like they couldn't get it to line up with the cigarette right away, and decided to just roll with it. At least, that's what I wanted to think while watching it, lol
Customer: I'm worried about that bumper coming off Matt: Yeah, we'll watch all of that...we've got radios and everything What a great line! 😄
That’s a customer who’s bought all the equipment but not the knowledge. Most guys with a rig like that wouldn’t doubt a bow shackle for a second. He at least knew to call in a pro before getting his rig in trouble.
It sure is amazing to see just what people get into and how easy it is to have Matt and his crew get em out. Great job by all
Rescuing folks on the fly for free, and pickin’ up trash on the way out. You’re a good guy Tom.
Great job getting them out! What in Tarnation's did they think would happen getting that damn camper down them trails would end up with!
Nothing beats experience on these two rescues, the MORR crew has it all figured out in minutes. Great job guys and Lizzy.
Great to see Ed back on recoveries and giving the weather🌞 report
I love, love watching the Morrvair walk up that hill with the truck and trailer in tow. Add to that the pro you put behind the wheel of the truck, Lizzy. Makes me smile 😁.
13:38 "..it's got too many accessories on it to recover" 😆
For the guy who 100% could not drive on his first few rescues (racing the engine in park, steering complete opposite of what was needed etc) you did an incredibly job in the Banana that day!!! You’ve come a long ways- proud of ya!!!!
Been watching this channel a while now, and the professionalism and friendly crew is amazing, I'd probably be calling Matt and his crew for a recovery if i got stuck only to realise I live in South Africa.
Probably worth a shot. He'll drive all the way to California to rescue someone. He might come to you.
It's amazing how well the Morvair handles offroad! The older square body suburbans are alot like that, seem to stop on a steep hill & able to keep going up when others have to try again. 22 body mounts so the suspension flex is key!
That was pretty badass getting in there!!! Good driving, excellent spotting!!
Good to see Ed out on a recovery and glad Tom called Search &Rescue. I don't think Tom would have got that outwithout help. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Matt and Tom for providing high-quality instruction in handling a rig off road. You know Matt is King of his art! Tom's starting to grow on me. I respect the real-world experience he's gaining!
Toms a f/witt
That Geo Metro video is still my absolute favorite. So funny.. Unfortunately you will never find anyone with more GO than Lizzie.
This is one of my favorite episodes yet… Colby saying “it’s good for me” made me so happy!!!
So glad to see Ed back out on recoveries. We younger generation folks need to show Respect, the "older " generation are tougher then we will ever be! Love and Respect for Ed! You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
I am amazed at what predicaments people put themselves in. A travel trailer on that trail was a no way. People need to research the routes they are thinking about using. Not just drive in and get to a point where they can’t go forwards or backwards. It does create a lot of business for Matt and crew.
Honestly, you guys are the most genuine good people it’s so refreshing. Thank you brother 🙏🏻 so much love and respect for you 🫡
LOL Boy straight up sending out some Vanilla Ice................gotta love it
I enjoy watching the interaction between you guys and watching the recoveries. It’s pretty amazing.
Am not sure what the back Story is with Ed and yourself Matt, but it's really nice to see how you treat him and include him in your life. Great Job Guys!!
Ed came with the property, literally.
@@marvindebot3264 Yup. He was the yard night watchman when Matt bought the tower company. Yard Manager now and still lives on the property moving from his trailer into the apt Matt built for him on the other side of the shop wall.
“I just got to get gas” is almost funny.😂
Man as a Utahn this show is just so nice to watch. This is a gorgeous state
Matt takes every opportunity to make Tom an excellent offroadsman!
So good to see Sir Ed out and about. Love you all
Memories recorded forever with the people you love priceless.
Matt-you’re a good instructor. As a former fligHt instructor I see your techniques to instill confidence in people!
