We don’t want to wear out those precious front drive line components.

As someone who worked in Alaska, and saw a truck break through the ice first hand. It the pressure wave that gets you. People get comfortable driving on the ice and speed up. The pressure wave builds in front of the and until it gets to the other side. The ice shatters in front of you next to the shore, 20 feet from the end and down you go.

I came very close to going through when I was in my late teens. It was at night on my way home and I decided to take a shortcut across a pond about 1.5 - 2 miles across instead of taking the 15 or so mile trail around it. There was two open patches in the center and I blew the belt on the snowmobile when I was coming off of the first patch of water. I never changed a belt faster in my life, thankfully I had just enough a run to make it across the next open patch. From that night on I no longer mess with frozen water when at night or when I'm alone. If that belt had blown seconds earlier or seconds later I would have been in the water at night by myself and most likely wouldn't be here today.

Old school New England boy here, been Ice Fishing all my life, and yes we drive our trucks on the lake. But a lot of people don't know and I'd hate for someone to fall through because they didn't know. So here you go. 2-3" for a person 5-7" ATV/snowmobile 12-14" for a small car/pickup 16+" For large full size trucks and SUV's. The danger with Ice is you may get to the edge and drill a hole and have 18" of ice, you drive on just fine and then a 1/4 mile later you fall through. Stuff like currents, rocks, sandbars, and other underwater structure can change the thickness of the ice without any notice.

Where I am from, Klamath Falls, there is a huge lake that freezes over sometimes in the winter. In the middle of this huge lake are several hot springs. The ice will look fine, but it is not. I walked out to an island one year when I was a kid, and I had a 10' piece of pipe that I would poke the ice ahead of me. Out in the middle of the distance from the shore to the island, I poked the ice ahead of me, and the pipe went through. I quickly turned around and went back to the shore following my tracks. I never did that again!!!

The one time I was dumb enough to it , ( late teens ) I had crap tires and got stuck on the ice because I ran out of forward momentum.

You are so right. I'm out on Lake of the Woods often where there are so many things to consider. There can be 3 - 4 feet of ice in general but where there are currents the ice can thin to 18 inches or less. Pressure ridges, cracks, and springs add to the danger (which many times are hidden by snow). Usually by January the lake can support a 6x6 army truck but like this year only sleds, SxS , and smaller suv's. So, when is the ice completely safe ? NEVER !

Come on up to Alaska Matt, we got some cold for ya..., Bring your coat, you'll use it. 38ºF below zero last night. You will LOVE it. Smiling

During the cold weather, you need to keep your remote winch control in the warm cab, until you are ready to use it. The remote runs on batteries, which lose power in the cold. The same goes for flash lights, or anything battery powered.

Do not drive any car or truck on less than 12 inches of ice. You can get away with less ice but your asking for trouble. Neighbor of mine just died going through the ice on Lake mille lacs in northern minnesota. Its been unusually warm this winter and we had 1 week of below zero which still is not long enough for the ice to freeze. Any moving water or where its deep freezes slower. Just use caution.

As a snowmobiling michigander I've learned to never trust snow covered water, snow is a great insulator preventing ice from freezing completely, snowmobilers here have the third man rule, 1st guy rides over ice brings up water 2nd man bogs out in the slush 3rd man goes through.

I love that Tom went from the voice of reason, locking hubs, to “let’s drive on the ice” 😂

The lake may be frozen a foot deep, but if there is a little water movement, there may also be spots of 1" thick. Going out onto the ice without knowing is pretty dangerous. There are lots of people making huge and much more huge wreckers and are arguing over the "world's biggest wrecker" title. But the TowMORR is just the right size for trails.

The wrecker never ceases to amaze me with it capabilities. Can't wait to see more recoveries. Keep up the amazing work.

It's also important to make the distinction between reservoir(man made body of water) vs lake(natural body of water, usually part of a river system). You'll see a lot of reservoirs mislabeled as lakes for recreation reasons, but they're still reservoirs. Reservoirs are not natural and do not belong there.

I think if the voice of reason (Matt this time instead of Tomtom) was not there the Morrvair would have ended up on the ice. We were having a party at the local lake and after a while one of the guys took his Monte Carlo (full size one) out on the ice to play around. Made me nervous just watching from the campfire area knowing that if he fell thru there was nothing I could do to help him. I'm not a lifeguard type person. He finished playing around and came back to shore, thankfully he was low on gas. The party continued without anyone getting wet. The wrecker is not only a crawler but also a mean snow machine. Thanks for sharing your snowy adventure with the whole crew along to enjoy.

I’ve been watching for years now and I still love every time you drive on and off the trailer without ramps! The wrecker really did turn out to be a beast, I remember thinking how a giant rock crawler seemed counterintuitive, but in reality it is perfect for almost all of the jobs you do.

You shouldn't drive on the ice unless you've punched a LOT of test holes. There's varying degrees of "frozen"

Back in 1977 the Ohio river froze over. I was walking on it when a VW drove across it from Cincinnati to Covington KY. That was insane as if it broke through the ice there was no way anyone would survive with the river current pushing you down the river. Matt was smart not to risk driving on the ice.

The fact that you could see water on the other side of the lake ruins any confidence I would have on it being thick enough to drive on.

Nice recovery!

IWE (auto locking hubs) on that raptor are likely the issue. They can freeze up or get stuck. Common problem. Also, that being a reservoir is way way more dangerous to go out on than a frozen lake since the water level will change so much. Water can drop below the ice leaving it unsupported and more likely to break through. Ice should be minimum 12” thick to drive on… I highly doubt it’s that thick unless temps have been below freezing for a while and snow coverage makes it take longer to thicken up. Stay off the ice!

I'm with Matt. Frozen lakes / cold water is nothing to mess around with. Things go from funny to deadly in less than a second when the ice breaks, you fall in, gasp from shock and get a mouthful of water. Meanwhile no one can help you because you've ended up under the ice and they don't want to fall in themselves. There is nothing to gain from being out on the ice, and a heck of a lot to lose. Not worth it.

She knew Matt didn't want to drive on the water yet she started to drive down anyways. Great video, as always! Love the braids

she's young. as long as there's no damage, injury, or loss of life then it's just a learning experience. I also disagree that she takes more risks than other people. Matt routinely does more dangerous stuff and openly admits it.

She's also a _COMPETITIVE_ _ROCK_ _CRAWLER_ with her dad. She's got more *serious* experience behind the wheel than most young people TWICE her age 👊🏻 .

Did a lot of ice driving in NH. Ice should be at least 8" thick to support a small pickup. Ice doesn't freeze uniformly thick. It could be 12" or more in one area and a few inched in another. This time, Matt was the smart one.

Matt having way too much fun going sideways. Snow is always fun - it looks so clean. It seems time to get the Bombi back From Robbie.

So much fun in the SNOW!! ❄❄ WAHOOO!!❄❄ I was a little jealous of all the fun. Such a great recovery team!! You guys are top notch!! THANK YOU MORR!!

"It's cold, not pain." Someone hasn't had serious frostbite before. 😉

Tom: you are an awesome engineer so GREAT in resolving issues and problems with off road and shop challenges....BUT stay away from the water's topped with ICE, you don't know what is really being served underneath to you!!! Matt great nite recovery!!

Those lights are excellent ~!

The silverado recovery is exactly what I do multiple times a day for towing in Michigan. That's super easy jobs and usually takes 5 to 15 minutes.

The people that drive them don’t care how they drive and break every thing my mom works for them and they have a new Silverado and it is fucked up

It's good to work in an environment that everyone gets along! Nice recovery. Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

Fresh out of the Caribbean into the Cold ! Two Frozen Recoveries ! Thanks for sharing your Misery !

Love the content, the team is so professional and entertaining. The wrecker is a beast, that thing seems to have no limits. With all the winches it can't see it ever getting stuck.

Serious question for MORR: Have you ever went back and replaced that one rock/boulder that you supposed to put back on that trail?

They did! I think the forest service made them

Perhaps the cold got to Tom's normal cautious reasoning? But hey, the cold also made Matt extra cautious about going out on the ice! Those two tend to balance each other out! Excellent content as usual! I hope someone gives Tom a radio all of his own to carry all the time!

Caitlin's infectous smile just lights up every scene she's in!

Katelynn's just awesome, can't wait until she's completely settled in.

The yellow box in the bed of the white chevy is a nuke gauge that has radio active material for testing soil compaction. That's why it was chained down. That devise is not to be left alone unsupervised .

Not just anyone is allowed to supervise the nuke. It needs to be someone who has been trained on the hazards and is monitored for radiation exposure. That company could be in trouble if a regulatory agency sees this video.

Yep... you should have a license to handle and operate the device.

Right on! And to leave the truck unattended with the gauge for any length of time not to mention overnight is another no no!

Did a search for this, oh ya.... I'm one of my agencies RSOs, no way in hell would I leave one of those, if I ever broke down with one and had to walk out I'd carry it with me.

Matt I'm with ya about the ice. When ya don't know don't go. Wonderful snow recovery.

Those were a bloody fine ice and snow rescues...Katelynn is getting good at this driving stuff...cheers.

Matt and Tom with crew, great recovery on both recoveries. I think Matt is part polar bear, that is why you never see him in a coat on recoveries. Hope everyone enjoyed the stew . David, Utah. 🐕🐕🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤.

good job on both recoveries, Matt your a monster out there in the cold like that. once again the wrecker shows itself as a beast, thanks for sharing

It was near the end of January but it was a very hard winter but my brother and I rode our bikes across Huntington North Reservoir and back across without having any problems. But that was back in 1969. We did it for a fun of it . Kinda like how you like to play in the snow. Keep up being awesome and safe.

You should keep the football up where it's warm and check to see if it doesn't need a charge. Have a good week and count your blessings amen.

Keep up the great contents Matt, greetings from Indonesia

It's so funny hearing those "It's cold" reports, when two weeks ago you were out there in the the night doing some photography, in -20C (-4F)...

humidity makes a huge difference in how we feel and tolerate the cold. -20C with no humidity is much easier to tolerate than -6C with humidity.

Love the channel. You know what really grinds my gears guys that brag about their profession or past whatever before they comment. I don't care if you're a vet firefighter EMT Canadian with winter experience, just stop people. Quit bragging before comments it just sucks.

Great job guys...stay safe....
