Honda Accord....Trapped!
We got called out for a Honda accord that had become stuck on the side of the road at Sand Hollow.
We were able to get the customer pulled back on solid ground fairly easily and send him on his way.
Next we were called out for a jeep that had become stuck at the upper Hurricane sand dunes.
The sand is extremely dry at the moment, and we have had some incredible wind storms that have made the dunes really difficult to Traverse.
Even so, we decided to take Ed for a ride across the dunes as he had never been.

I'm the Accord driver. Glad to see I made some people smile, hope you enjoyed ;) I'd like to thank Matt for providing professional help without mocking me for my stupid mistake ✌🏼 I saw many of you wise commenters had already figured who I am ;) But in case that matters to you here's my actual story. I'm 23, I grew up poor, served in my country's military (mandatory). Had to work as hard as I could to get myself out of poverty. My father left us when I was a kid, my mom never had a car. (only here in America poor people drive cars) This is my first car ever that I paid in cash with my own money. I didn't have anyone to teach me how to drive, I had to pay for driving school, they don't teach you anything there. This is the first time I was ever towed. Maybe millennial, not gay, but indeed I made a stupid mistake. :) I'm very much inexperienced with cars and driving. Sorry, that's just how it is when you grow up having to tackle some real life problems by yourself. Never had the time to pay much attention to sand dunes on the road. It's not because I have "helicopter parents" but because that's how I learn when there's no one to teach me.

Good on you man. Nobody should feel ashamed that they're not expert off-road drivers, its a specialized skill that as you said, many people can only learn because they have money and time to burn on off-road rigs to drive around in the sand and mud in their spare time. Just read the negative comments (or don't) and imagine them as 14 year old kids living in their parent's house trying to sound knowledgeable or smart. If they're not 14, then its even funnier because they never learned how to grow up.
Before people start bashing the kid in the Honda....It’s tough to learn anything in life that you’ve never encountered before. He was smart enough to watch Matt drive through it, and ask questions about how he did it.
"I wonder if the camera makes my check engine light glow brighter" You got me. I def laughed out loud on that one.
i love how you're giving Edd his youth back , for an ole boy he sure does smile a lot! Edd is a great guy to have around and you Matt are one of the good guys.
What I like is that you don't look down on the people even though they make some dumb mistakes.

I wouldn't say the guy turned the wheel as in purposefully did it wrong, but just didn't do anything other than sit in the seat and watch the brakes (not close enough apparently cause the parking brake was still on). Gotta remember, most of the time the people with problems have never experienced anything like this before so its totally foreign to them.

2:48 “let’s get this problem fixed too” that’s the closest you’ll ever hear Matt get to disrespecting a client by pointing out that they are doing something obviously incorrect (it happens all the time). And by that I mean not disrespectful at all. He’s a pro in every aspect of what he does.

At least the Jeep owner did not bury it up to the axles as many do. He evidently had open differentials and it was a very smart move to stop trying instead of burying it.

Love the sand sky sand view out the front window.
Matt taking the time to make Ed's day driving in the dunes, we need more people like Matt and his crew
I like how understanding you are towards the people who are stuck and not really thinking straight. You know the guy in the accord felt pretty silly when you easily drove the car across the sand, but you casually explained the proper technique and all was good.
That was a great video Matt. Just the fact that you took Ed across where he has never been before was awesome. You're a great dude man!
The phone rang, Matt says “welcome to my world”, I’m listening on hi-fi headphones and start fumbling for my phone lol! Welcome to my world too, Matt :-)
Matt you are liven the dream. Everyone feels good after helping to pull a truck out of the sand. You get paid. That’s awesome. The parks there should have winder towing right on the receipt.
That cracked me up. Poor guy just isn’t a car guy, no confidence in driving or understanding that there is concrete under the sand on the road and not on the shoulder. Matt you’re such a nice guy to these people too, that’s awesome. Good content man.

I do that , but just call the other person and put it on speaker. Makes for much better towing , when you can let them know when to start braking.
Quality has gone way up thanks for the content and good job that you do. Love the banana... dogs.. and southern Utah
Why do so many people try to drive in the sand without lockers? Without them you really only have a 2 wheel drive vehicle (one on each axle). They are expensive but make a world of difference :)
Nice stuff. I did a tiny bit off soft roading in the Florida sugar sand this morning then came home to find the real deal on Matt's Towing & Recovery. It doesn't get any better than that!
Great driving. Nice Scenery. Friendly Character, Makes always my Day. Thank you so much!!!
Love your videos!! Makes me wanna get out there! BTW the audio sounds good even in the wind!
I love how the country Matt & Co. drive through is like one Windows desktop wallpaper after another. I know what towing is like, I've done it, and it's not all glory and beautiful days, but to be able to do so in some of the world's most beautiful countryside has to be a bonus. I live in the foothills of the Pyrénées and know what it's like to rise over a crest and have the scenery take my breath away, and it still does after 20 years of living here. Whatever the crap life throws at you, nature has a way of bringing you back to what's important: sky, mountains, water, loved ones and, of course, your dawg.
these videos make me appreciate the time my dad spent with me teaching me how to drive... i guess rather than being frustrated that not everybody know i should be happy that i do
Listening with headphones is a must, when the hooks fall on the ground it sounds like it’s right there and the XJ really sounds great

To be fair to the guy with the Accord, it must be scary being stranded so far from the main road with no survival gear and probably no, or very little, water. Hard to think straight when you're really afraid.

Thanks for taking me on this one...life is short...great idea ditching the roofing
The desert trail was the perfect closing of this video!
I see one of the comments on here was puzzled why the jeep should be stuck as it didn't look bad, oh the instant I saw that footage of how the jeep sat and was equipped tire wise ( no idea if the tires were aired down or not though ) with small stock tires and my guess is open diffs, takes nothing spin out once the axles get crossed up like that and with no forward momentum one front and the opposite rear tire kick the sand out from those tires leaving the other two tires high and dry carrying most of the weight of the vehicle. Happens quick and not easy to get out of once it happens with an under equipped driveline. Also goes back to companies like Jeep and others giving new owners too much confidence in their rigs as its all about selling vehicles and why we see all wheel drive low to the ground SUV's being pulled out quite often in places they should never have even entertained going in the first place. Oh well, it makes for some good chuckles and entertainment to watch it on here !.
The best part of your videos, hands down, is watching Max and Lady run free and having fun! I'm a huge animal lover and take my 3 mutts everywhere. Nothing better than watching a dog be a dog!
Thanks for taking the long way home.like your dogs.

Matt, you are such a good guy. There clearly are people who should not be allowed off a leash, much less behind the wheel of a car. You must secretly wish them good luck to make it out of sight before they are neck deep in trouble all over again. Who gave this fool a driver's license... who rented him a car... who let him out of sight? "please drive my car across the sand on the highway so I can go"....what have we come to as a civilization if we can't even make it home?
Your patience with that guy in the Honda was commendable.

This sand it just like the dry powdery snow we get in winter. It blows across roads in the same way. You cross it just like Matt crossed the snow: get a running start, let off on the gas so you don't dig in, and roll across. The other videos of "rocking" to get out, of digging, of wheels throwing up blown sand; they all look identical to dry powdery snow.
