I had the pleasure to meet Matt at his garage a couple of weeks ago while I was in Hurricane. Even though his shop was closed, I saw him sitting out front of his garage. He allowed me and my wife to come in. Matt was exactly as he is on video, a very gracious and honest person. He took me into shop showed me the banana and explained what he had done and was doing to it. The way he handled this rescue of the older couple just solidify my deep respect and admeration toward him and his whole crew. Matt, Thank you for your time with me and stay safe

I had the pleasure of meeting Matt, Rudy and the rest of the team at the Cache Valley Cruise in this July. I agree with your comments 100%. Matt and his team are amazing. So happy that this recovery turned out well. Those cow trails look pretty intense. They look even more scary in the day.The desert gets very cold at night. Once you get off the freeway and out of a populated area cell service becomes pretty limited. Glad they were ok and it turned out well for everyone.

Hey Matt, Error on the side of being always prepared for the worst... Check your tires before a desert ride, and make sure your tires are in great shape, and most importantly... Always, never leave home without having a spare tire inflated mounted on the top of your rig. Prepare for the the worst to happen! It's like flying a plane... don't leave the ground without checking everything. Never leave without more water than you'll ever need!! Your services are essential to saving lives.

Angels are still all around us. Matt, you and your family are true angels. 👼 may God bless you and keep you. 🙏

I have no idea why I love this channel/show. Charming people, yes, cool tools and mechanicals, yes, and some stupid drivers to save, yes…but I’m just a pudgy old woman in PA who likes this. Go figure, maybe the engineer or pilot in me but it’s fun. Can’t wait for the big wrecker to be running! Happy for all you success, great business model that’s fun, and a much needed service.

The amount of hauling ass when Matt and Lizzy did after they found the older customers.. this is why we love these guys and gals.

What a gem of a channel. You guys are producing what reality TV was meant to be and are doing it 100x better than how the "pros" do it. None of the needless hype, fake drama and empty cliff hangers - just good, real stories.

I used to watch "Highway Through Hell" but past the first couple seasons, it became all manufactured interpersonal drama. I hated that, because I just wanted to see the ingenuity and cool equipment that these professionals use. I've found this channel to be exactly what I was looking for!

Don't know how I missed this one a year ago, but it's one of your best. Just shows how stress and a long chaotic day can lead to the eye going off the ball. It's why we need check-lists so that we avoid mistakes. Glad you got back to those old folks again in time with food and water the next day.

Right? this video showed up as "up next" after watching a recent video and I"ve been watching a year or more (its currently dated "1y ago")

That was so scary. I bet Matt and crew will never let anyone find their way back alone again. Thank goodness everyone is safe. You guys are always so carrying. Stay safe guys.

Best episode ever, from the previous “too many boring Razors” to this classic gold that will be the most-viewed of them all.

Really enjoying watching your rescue missions Matt around the Big Country - a real therapy from the err ...norm these days, and refreshing to see that your heart is actually in what you do especially in this episode - every blessing! from the UK.

I can only imagine that sinking feeling when you got the call in the morning that would have been very scary. I'm so happy everyone was ok in the end

As the world becomes cold and turns a blind eye to those in need, Matt and his team are a beacon of light and hope! God bless you all for your service and kindness! The world needs a lot more of this 🙏❤️

Your job was done when you changed his tire. Kudos to you guys for caring enough to go back in to rescue him again.

This was a good lesson….ANYTIME you go out in the wilderness whether it’s for the day or just an hour, you need to be prepared to assist your yourself, food, water, first aid etc. I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve found people in the back country that were just going to take a little hike and had gotten themselves into trouble with injuries, dehydration or just being lost, every minute you spend going the wrong direction just takes you further and further from help. This story luckily had a good outcome!

The most important thing is tell SOMEONE nearby where you are going and what you are doing. If it's in a park, then find a ranger's office and let them know you will be going out on a hike or doing whatever out there and where you will be. When done and going home, tell them on the way out that you made it and are heading home. If you get into trouble and do not come back, they know right where to find you. If you wanna go solo off the beaten path, then take a Globalstar satellite phone. The phone bill is costly as hell as well as the phone itself but if you go trekking a lot, it will save your life. Retard-o-phones break within 2 seconds and they always can't get signal from land towers with such a tiny antenna.

I've certainly done the stupid thing. Fortunately, nothing bad has happened. However, I have been out for a hike, a kayak or a drive and realized after getting a long way away that I was not properly prepared if something went wrong. Other times, I feel like I have ten times too much stuff just going a couple of clicks across city on my bike.

Cool episode. Y'all were so kind to them (like you helping him out of the truck when you got him home). That was very encouraging to watch!

Matt, you have a great heart and your crew is the best in the business! It’s a pleasure to watch y’all work and support your channel.

11:48 “How are you doing? Do you need any water?” So professional, so caring. My son is an EMT and has been “first on the scene” at several accidents while off duty and always runs to the service of others without a thought. Not for money - just a heart for serving others. It makes me so proud - and I’m so happy to see this attitude from Matt, Lizzie and the rest of the team. Well done! I’m already a subscriber - but this channel just jumped ahead of all of my other subscriptions. I’ll be ordering a yellow rope just as an act of appreciation for the team’s performance in this video.

taking care of elderly people is defently similar to those videos of ducks trying to keep all thier ducklings in a group and heading in the same direction, it's a full time job and you cant take your eyes off them, thier 50 year of experience doing things on thier own gives them a false confidence that they can continue to do everything, a 80 year old is much like a 10 year old, you can trust them to drive around the parking lot, but not acrost town. This comes from a person that just raised two sets of grandparents and got them to thier final destination. Defently taught me alot, this episode had me crying from good and bad memories, good job guys.
