Matt you're the Man! Your technique in pulling out stranded drivers is spot on. We were out in that same road once and it was nearing night time when we came across an elderly couple in their Ford Flex stuck and didn't know how or to who to call for help as they were very frightened . We figured the only logical thing to do was to try and help, now keep in mind that we are in a white 04 Yota RAV-4 with an aftermarket rear locker and descent A/T tires, With only 160 hp. We remembered seeing how you pulled out other vehicles on KZread and we decided to give it try with our tow strap. We gave a couple good size tugs at an angle and to our surprise the Flex popped loose and we helped tow them until they were on a more solid road and could continue on safely. The old couple tried to give us money for helping them but we declined and said if they see a gentleman in a big Yellow Jeep named Matt, give him a BIG THANKS Because we learned watching him and it made us feel really good helping that elderly couple☮

Keep in mind that Matt and his team have kinetic energy ropes. They are designed to stretch and get a good tug without snapping.. a tow strap normally isn't designed to get a run at something like with the kinetic ropes and they will snap and might cause damage! It was very nice of you to help those nice people though. Who knows how long they would have been out there!

Hey Matt, I’ve been watching your videos now for about 2 years, thanks for sharing all that you and your crew does. You not only show the successful tows with limited problems but also the difficult tows in all their glory and your own comments. You lead by example and you praise your crew in public and even if they make mistakes including you, you also take responsibility. That is the sign of a true leader. Congrats!

I was at the back side of Needles once when a monsoon came in. The road turned to chocolate pudding. Luckily I was in a capable Ranger 4x4 with good tires... but it was still a nightmare. I seriously considered camping until the road dried up again. :D

Wow... your Jeep is so damn powerful, I don't know what lies in there... is it the tires? the engine? or you as a well experienced driver....you solved people's burden with ease.... great job...

Spent 15 years driving dirt roads and bush tracks in Australia as an exploration geologist. Most of the time on our own (me + assistant). Rescue was 50 - 300 miles away so you usually had to be able to get out of situations yourself. The older Toyota Land cruisers were very reliable and unstoppable. Wet weather is treacherous similar to this video. Get off the road or track after rain and you will sink to the axles instantly. Took 2 days to get out of the bog once. After reasonable rain dirt roads are are closed and if you are caught driving on a closed road it will cost you $1200. Pity I didn't have a Go Pro in them days. Love your videos and can totally relate.

Hey Ed oh, I've been missing you you haven't been on the last few ,you make my day you bring a smile to my face and a chuckle in my heart. thanks man keep up the good work.

08:45 --- Every gravel road in North Dakota after it rains! I didnt know roads got this bad in the Southwest. I learned something today. Great upload!

I understand exactly how those people get in that situation. One time my son and I went to the woods to check our trail cameras. We parked on dry solid grass field. Just as we started walking away from the truck it began to rain. By the time we got back, our dry field had turned into soggy marsh. It took three other 4x4s and 12 hours to get everyone about a 1/4 mile to the sandy trail out. Everyone that came to our rescue was getting stuck too. And when we free one vehicle another would get stuck. That was a miserable night and most of us had to work the next day.

This dude does more with a tow rope than I thought possible. Love this channel

Two Fords (second one not so bad) on a leash being pulled by a Heep...the leash of shame!! lol Feeding the ole Heep the beans pulling out that Audi. Definitely some slimy snotty greasy mud for sure

That guys in the Audi must have had the false sense of security that the all wheel drive Audi would make it. While they have excellent AWD systems, they dont have the tires to go thru this type of terrain. Tires make a huge difference ce and people dont realize the little things like proper tires and wiring down on sand and technique will make make or break you out there. Keep the videos coming.

Same thing in Germany with Autobahn, if you have a fast car (200 kph) and live in a country with speed limits you probably have the wront tyres for full speed Autobahn. (I am from Sweden and the car we had did have tyres designed for more than the 180 the car could do, but just barely.)

I think you should put up a time clock for each job in the screen so the viewer has an idea of how long it took to yank em out. Or hell even a taxi meter that shows the time and cost. Sure do like your videos watch the heck out of them .

Completely dry day in a dry season suddenly a flood storm and we all get stuck even guys in AWD just people with 4x4 and good clearance could make it out. One of my best experiences hiking and camping. Everybody helping each other and well being kids having fun. Sold that a couple years later and in the inspection they still found that red mud everywhere. Inside the sir filter, undercarriage, trunk under the seats

At 4:07 all of your side windows are muddied up. I used to go off roading many years ago and used to end up with windows like that. I used to carry water fire extinguishers with me. The refillable type which have a tyre valve at the top to pump air in to pressureise them. They work great as portable power washers to clean windows so you are able to see better. :).

Much better than the tow I had last week. John deere 6200 2wd with a full manure spreader. I had a breakdown on the spreader at the critical moment when I was hitting a wet spot in the field. Neighbor got my 6110 to tow me with. Bad chain job, but I didn't need a lot of power to get moving. Unfortuatly, he doesn't tow, and he hammered down in mid gearing as soon as I was in the seat. He came to a dead stop, since I was still in park, and bent the 3 point hitch. Luckily, a press was able to work it out.

Matt's Towing & Recovery I know you are the expert and your equipment works but is there a reason why you don’t use heavy duty 4 wheel drive tow trucks or pull trucks? It looked like your yellow Jeep was right on the edge of full capacity on some of those tows. Is it just because you don’t want to spend the money? Just curious.

That XJ don’t play

Lol put some removable mudflaps on the Jeeps.

Jeeze, this is a great watch, I was a recovery driver for 3 years, mainly on slide backs & beavertails, occasionally spec lift. Never done offroad work, just the occasional flood recovery. Looks great fun, the idea of doing a snatch recovery on a road orientated client vehicle is pretty terrifying though, I hope your damage waiver is extensive :D

I was camping on Gooseberry Mesa a few years ago and woke up to a whole bunch of snow. That was a hair raising drive out of there with a whole train of people trying to do the same thing. That road's no joke in the rain or snow.
