My favorite part: After how hard that recovery was, spending a good deal of the day and evening and all the issues involved Matt offered the customer the chance to use his air at his shop instead of having to go put quarters in a machine at a gas stop. It might seem like a very small thing but If the customer's anything like me then it probably meant a lot to him. Just good people. You can't put a price tag on that.

We do not give enough credit to the pack animals. My Dad was a wrangler (horse handler), who ran a six-horse pack-train up into the mountains, ever week, for six years. There are horses with distinct traits for every use. A mountain-trail pack-horse would go up the slope, in this video, like it was flat. But they only go in SLOW gear, about 2 mph and only for 3 hours. Then they need to stop for the day. Why? Because they need to graze for 12 hours every day, just to eat enough. Remember grass has all the nutrition that lettuce does. You are asking a 1,400 lb horse to carry 250 lbs up a mountain on lettuce. You need to eat a lot of lettuce to do that.

@@cryptfire3158 look at it this way; it's not Matt's fault the guy got stuck down there, it's not Matt's problem that the hill he needs to go up is so incredibly difficult and however long it takes is however long it takes. Knowing a little about businesses like his, I'd guess the customer was charged a base fee to drive out there and back, then an hourly rate for Matt and each member of the recovery crew that had to help (minus camera people). I would venture to say the bill was $2000 minimum, likely more. Matt needs to make money on every job in order to stay in business and he's the only guy around that would have been able to do that recovery. He's not the type that would take unfair advantage of anyone, so whatever he charged was fair.

I’ve shared all the different channels with so many off road groups. I hope I can meet you someday, only not like the folks who “made a call.” Much respect to the help and support the community has pooled together to help other’s who are in need.

It is very evident that you love and care for your dogs and all animals and people.

I think it would be awesome and a reality check for people watching this if a rough cost estimate for a recovery like this was included in the description. I understand why you wouldn't, but would bring it even more context. For the time/labor, equipment upkeep, and other overhead, I'd figure it to be at least a grand. But with what appeared to be 4people (not including camera men), 2trucks, etc for a full day's work, that's probably super low. Maybe $2-3k 🤷 But I literally have no idea.

I think this qualifies as extreme duty on the vehicle maintenance scale. Loved the comment about this is how my night is going and it used to be my day a while ago. Haha

Oh!!! And a trick I learned riding a 4-wheeler while stuck in a field (no place to hook a winch) was to carry a corkscrew dog stake to make my own attachment points when needed. I just ziptied one to my front rack. For a truck I imagine they make something a little more heavy duty of a man made ground stake point.

Just found this gem of a recovery! You have learnt a lot since this recovery Matt!!

Well done Matt and team, that was certainly the toughest i've watched you perform. But all credit to everyone for keeping their cool and someone was watching over you all. Best wishes on easier recoveries in the future but this one is a "tucked under the belt" experience stay safe all of you.....

Absolutely amazing, grit and determination, I’m disabled now and cannot walk but when I was able I would have enjoyed that as a job. I was a coal face worker down the coal,mines of England. That would have appealed more, it got very hot and dusty n smelly on my job. It makes me feel I’m there with you all. Xx God Bless xx

People who love their work so much it’s entertaining to watch.

Dadgum. That was a tricky one. Every time I hear Matt say "Sand shute" I can feel his tension. Having seen it and experienced it (on my old Banshee 25 years ago) I am impressed every time I see Matt getting up it.

Don't hurry off, I am bringing my wife's new camaro down to the water.

You could carry golf umbrellas for the clients as I've seen multiple older guys you've rescued from hot places... and umbrella can prevent sunburn and heat stroke. Thanks for making these videos, it's fun to see some of my old stomping grounds.

I feel addicted to watching these videos I know some of them are fake but it's great watching them

Part of the old analog technology phones used decades ago. Think thats annoying sounding? The phones used to actually have a dial like a combination lock (sort of), if you messed up a number by not dialing far enough you had to start all over again.

Yes, Matt very rarely makes changes to the customer vehicle, such as airing down. Presumably this is to limit liability exposure. Clearly, this recovery was so difficult that he had to break the rule.

so satisfying to watch the process of recovery and at the same learning from Matt's brain..he's a genius!

This is probably some of the best content on KZread. This is what it’s all about.

Now I feel like WhistlinDiesel is going to drive down the chute just because Matt said don’t drive down the chute!

I'm thoroughly impressed with Matt's off roading skills. This video is testament to "his less is more" style of getting things done! Good job Dude!

A video can't capture how tough is your job, but you all get to work in some beautiful locations. Every day is an adventure.

A little tip. When engine gets too hot (over heats) Keep it running and turn on the heater to full heat and watch the temp go down!

You know its serious when Matt's letting air out of the customers tires 😆

Holding my breath on that one! Was amazed that little pump was able to re seat the beads! Thankfully I've never had to try that with mine. Another great job!

Matt's dogs bark at me every morning when I ride my bike by his shop. I've wondered who was nuts enough to go down the chute and I've passed lost souls on the Babylon Mill Road. Didn't know Matt was a KZread sensation until my nephew told me about him when he came down Mt. Biking the other day. Good job. I'm glad I did enough off-roading when young to not do such dumb stuff.

In trucking...an old adage about loading trailers...seems appropriate here... "You can always shove something in...might not always get it back out"... Nice!..(but painful) Recovery! 👊

IIRC this was before Matt upgraded to a Golens' 4.7 stroker

This is the best rescue so far

That's the worst(negative) comment I have heard Matt say... "please don't go down the shute". Haha! People want to see the lovely country, but don't understand the challenges. (Matt should sidework 4×4 tours) Never downing the customer, never negative, just going to get 'em unstuck. Cheers Matt. Class Act

Moved from New England to southern CA back in 2005. During my cross-country trip I stopped in St. George for a day. I had never felt 105 degrees before. I thought my eye balls were going to melt. I remember leaving my hotel to go get some lunch and seeing construction workers out...I couldn't fathom how people can even survive that kind of heat.

For a job like this need to carry a exhaust Jack, it works off exhaust or air. Great for lifting up for tire change or lifting vehicle out of sand. Another item is a axle anchor. It is a old wheel mounted on a axle shaft. Dig a hole drop it in hook up to end of shaft. Great for making straight pulls. One other trick to use is a spare tire. If you are dug in up to the axle throw cable over the tire standing up. Down to stuck vehicles. Needs to be close to vehicle BUT NOT RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. You want it to lift out and roll back. Hope this helps keep 4 wheeling.

That was hectic, there should be a warning sign at the top of that hill, well done on a really tough job

Absolutely blows my mind people don’t think to air down to drive on sand. Even with the most badass 4 wheel drive system and better tires/wheels, you often don’t get far in sand with full street pressure. I’ve got a F-150 on stock tires and I have yet to get stuck in sand when I’m aired down.
