How Did You Get Stuck to the Top of the Tires?
So we got a call for an Arctic Cat and two other cars down at Sand Hollow today.
The Sand was hot and people were getting in deep.

Matt, i'm sure you make Ed's day everyday taking him along and learning from him. Thanks for respecting the elders, you should be a role model for many to emulate.
Matt is such a good leader. He’s always the first to accept responsibility when something goes wrong, and in turn his staff behaves the same. This way things get sorted faster and mistakes don’t get repeated.
Love the towing and car stuff but the day-in-the-life-of snippets of conversations and insights into life in that part of Utah is great!
"I'm not much of a boater..." Obviously. I wouldn't feel comfortable going anywhere the Banana couldn't go either.
My 2014 Escape has provisions for the screw in tow hook (left hand thread for some unknown reason) but you have to buy the hook from a Ford dealer. Perhaps the reason for the left hand thread is so that you can't buy something twice as strong for a third of the price at the farm store.
I love Ed’s zingers, he is quick on the draw.

Matt, your kindness and good humor bring light in to the lives of more perople than you will ever know. It is fulfilling and rewarding to see you pick these wrecks and get them to saftey. Most people who have off roaded know that while anyone can be fooled, some folks are as stupid as the stuff they do. Back in the day, way before I could affird a winch or really anything more than a chain, we used an old High Boy jack, 48", to extricate my 1973 Land Rover from where ever we got it stuck. I watch with great jou the amazing picks you do in the worst possinle terrain and conditions. I have seen a few times when old school might have heloed. Just wondering if you ever use or would think of using 48 to 60" High Boy jack. Acknowledgeing that these devises came by their popular name "Dead Man Jack" rightly, it seems that you could do some GREAT education as to how to use a device like one of these when Matt's Towinf and Recovery is just too far away. It mght help you once in a while and give you the piece of mind knowing you showed people who carry these on their roof rack or spare tire rack like a trophy Buck but wouldn't have the faintest idea how to use one of these "ratchet winches" much less do so safely. Just a thought from a devoted fan. Be safe, keep up the stellar work. Jeffrey S. Holverson, MD (Ret.) Green River, Wy

I've been watching some Australian off-road videos since Mad Matt visited our Matt, and they all carry a couple of those traction boards. They never go out with just one vehicle, so they have at least four boards available, and they seem to make all the difference in soft sand or mud. They are typically five feet long, and 18 inches wide, so I can't see a pair of sandals being much use. They don't seem to air down as much as Matt from the videos I've seen and 12psi front and 10psi rear compared to Matt's 6psi. I don't know if they have tire locking devices (I don't know what they are called). One serious difference is that people can walk out from most of the places Matt's customers get stuck, but the Oz off-roaders can be hundreds of miles from rescue.
Is there anything Ed can't or hasn't done. What a life. Thank you Ed

We stopped by Sand Hollow yesterday for a few hours and sat and watched the mayhem on the beach. What fun! 4 vehicles stuck then recovered by helpful passersby. Was hoping to see the banana but missed out. The grade between the beach and the road is a lot steeper and longer than it looks on video. First truck stuck was a twin to mine. No way I was going down to the beach!
I never liked the Wildcats compared to the RZRs.... The wildcats always seem to have a weird throttle feeling.... It's not very smooth. It seems that you either dont move at all, or it has 50% throttle and you go zooming away. I have no experience with a Maverick though. Keep up the good work guys!

Once my father and I had my 62 Scout off Hwy 20 just past Washington, CA turn-off on a road/trail that had fairly fresh D-9 Caterpillar tracks going in we had gone maybe 50 yards and I put in the hubs another half mile and I was ready to back out my father hopped in the driver’s seat made it about 10 more yards horizontally and 2 feet down snagged a tree limb destroying the right rear tire; we were digging to be able to put on the spare and the D-9 came out with a trailer full of forest guys and tourists asked if we needed help I was voting yes my father said no we were ok half an hour later I walked out to the garage the D-9 was kept in fortunately the owner/operator was not finished yet he fired up the “donkey engine I think he called it” fired up the BIG DUDE there was a seat that was above the left track not very quickly we drove back in to my Scout he dropped the blade dragging snow away from my Scout turned around chain from logging winch to my front tow hooks first gear (not necessary) he rotated that 4X4 around and drug it back to the garage used the blade to lift the right rear so we could change the tire no charge we drove home my father never went 4X4ing again I don’t know how many gears they had but we were motoring along at about 5 MPH. I couldn’t get a hub in once HARD reverse got me out of the hole I went on my way another time we were camping off Hwy 50 near Kyburz and blew out the spider gears in the rear differential my father and Mom were in the Open Road 1 ton chassis mount he didn’t think it was broken I drove home with 4X4 high engaged he tried it at home after I had gone back to 2X4 pop pop pop etc finally believed me it was broke we got the parts and it was my first time in a differential I know people that work on them I bring axles, transfer cases and transmissions to them. Like Inspector Callahan said a man’s got to know his limitations and I own the blond cousin to his Model 29 double hearing protection eye protection and a good supportive wrap and about a half box of ammunition I’m good FUN TIMES I should go COVID hunting
i think some people are getting stuck just to get on your channel.

I thought that too until I went there, i’m not saying it doesn’t happen. But that sand out there isn’t like going to the beach, it’s deep and loose. I didn’t have to make a call, but I certainly had a moment or two where I was was glad to have 4x4 and a locker.

Matt you can utilize the stock spare tire mount inside the Cherokee. Take a piece of threaded rod, bend it at a 90 and use nuts and washers to attach it to the mount. Then use it as a hook to hang a fire extinguisher to it. I did it with mine and keeps it out of the way and secure

All your videos are good, but Ed definitely makes them better!!!
I like the video of Matt and Ed just chatting.
Why doesn't Matt put safety strobes on the roof? I figured being a tow company it would be required

SDDucati woefully underrated comment. Lol
Please tell my buddy Ed that on the first pull he was in that he didn’t give the weather report and us old guys need to know about the weather. Ed the weatherman on Matt’s towing channel is the best!
Lol at 5:48 the horn honk startled Ed. I sure hope in good shape as Ed when I get older.
Say what? Shoes under tires. That’s a new one for me.
Yeah, what’s Ed’s story? Inquiring minds want to know.
I absolutely love your channel. I think you youngsters should leave the weather reportin' to Ed! I think he's a good addition to your team, there's no substitute for the wisdom that comes with experience. Because of your channel, I bought the 30' 7/8's Yankum. You were out of stock, so I got mine directly from Yankum. I think it's well worth having in my vehicle. I expect the bulk of my use will be helping people that slide off into the berm left from the snow plow. The rope looks perfect for that application, but I'm curious what size soft shackles you would recommend?
This comment has nothing to do with the video and everything to do with the channel. So I came across Casey's offroad recovery. And boring haha. You do a great job Matt keeping it fun and adventurous. Also love how you explain the recovery before you actually recover. Also you have some great camera guys. If I ever visit Utah I'll make sure to visit hurricane

When people have more credit than they have sense... Asking them why is like telling them to let the air out of the tires 🤣
So awesome you guys talk to your fans
I have seen folks stuck up the top of the tires, usually having one foot on the brake(because it may go too fast, and scare them) and trying to get out!
I'm just a hillbilly but sometimes the lack of common sense..... how do you guys not laugh.

Matt, I have posted a few times and I feel everyone can use this info! I remember mom telling me ( about 1961-62 ) about her and grandpa pulling stumps by using a model “T” pick-up, rope and a spare model t rim on edge, rope over rim near stump-this pulled the stump up and out much easier, I’ve tried it, and it works, maybe a small manufactured Tri-pod with a deep pulley on top and floatation base could aid your recoveries, sorry always thinkin, thx for the great vids-D
