Jason here! What a night! My wife and kids and I ate like royalty. We had a 5 course meal while in our jeep. We sang songs and listened to an entire audio book - The Box Car Children audio series. We had no idea those crazy cats in the yellow banana were rationing supplies. We had leftovers tho spare. Also, not pictured is our 18 month toddler who was a trooper the entire time. Our 5 year old never was convinced that Ed is "The Real Ed". Ed is the real deal through and through. Randy did an amazing job capturing the events of the night with his camera. Trevor is a long time friend of Matt's. They go way back. Old friends for life for sure! I have a 2000 XJ Cherokee classic with a 4.5 inch lift and 33 inch tires. It's permanently locked up front and rear with 4.88s gearing. Yes it tops out at about 45mph but is a fantastic rock crawler for these parts. My daughter who drew the picture wants to be a professional artist. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll pass it on to her. My wife is an amazing explorer and wondered why we went the long way the whole time! Ha! Gents - listen to your wives! She read all the signs! It was a great April fools joke to go the long way! A night to remember for sure! After we got back to the yard I realized I gave my wife the keys to drive the Jeep home tell Randy had to give me a ride to my house and then all the way back to the yard. It extended the adventure by another hour and a half. I'm honored to be part of this amazing crew moving forward!

A colleague from the company that I work told a nice frase that describes how Matt is: Be kind whenever is possible and it is always possible. He is a very good person.

Love the "innocent kiddie antics" at the end there --- the colored-markers drawing of the recovery and Miss Smiley's turning to face the camera with a joyful beaming face and little dance :D

I am constantly amazed at how Matt is able to tow a trailer up a road that barely qualifies as a goat trail. Matt's driving skills are unmatched by any driver that I ever met. I am postulating that the Can-Am hit a rock and broke a possibly Dry ball joint (Lack of lube), this allowed the steering knuckle to rotate precipitating total suspension failure. It is great to see your friends, cameramen, family ride along and watching the dogs run is always a pleasure. Great content, thanks for sharing with people around the planet.

Thanks for another great video. They put a smile on my face in these days of home confinement. I am amazed at how up beat your crew is on these adventures. The good comradery between the members of Matt's Off Road Recovery is so enjoyable.

Really appreciate you putting out daily videos lately

You guys are awesome. Real people doing what ya gotta do to get thru the day.

Always amazed that the customer ever gets a cell signal to get help. I thought Ed was going to say" I've got my lighter, and my cigarettes, I am good to go" Keep posting Matt this is great value for us socially isolated fans at this time.

I've ridden that road/area before...I was thinking to myself "that is the difficult way in". I was glad to see you guys decided not to backtrack!

Nice. 4 Wheeling is so much more fun when you are on a mission. Randy is cool. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks so much for the wholesome and sometimes white knuckle content. My trip to Zion this spring has been indefinitely postponed because of the current health crisis but at least I have your channel. Hope everyone at Winder Towing stays safe and healthy.

8:54 That's so nice --- as a reward for the little girls' being so obedient about being safe and staying out of the way, their parents allow them to go ahead and take a close look at the broken parts of the Razor --- kinda like, "You may certainly step right up beside the machine and satisfy your curiosity, just as long as Mommy and Daddy are right there with you to supervise, so that you don't get hurt." :D

Great video Matt. You have a great group of friends and employees, please don’t change anything about your channel, is perfect! And of course let’s not forget about our favorite... Ed. We need your wisdom! Love from Fresno California.

Matt, you should modify your trailer (I'm sure you've heard that 1000 times) to include a 3rd ramp. I think you have room for it, and it would allow you to use one under each wheel and the 3rd under whatever the lowest body/suspension part is. Would also allow flexibility when you really need to switch from one spot to another halfway through loading. Just an idea... Great videos and I really enjoy watching.

Just by your videos, I could see how it would be easy to get lost or make a wrong turn out there! Especially at night!

8:23 Wow... the little ladies are both cute AND obedient --- they know to stay together in a tight group and stand back out of the way, and then Daddy just quietly/pleasantly tells them to move to the other side ("Come on over here, girls.") and they immediately scuttle right around the vehicle and join him! :D Good job being parents there! :D :D
