Did We Make A Mistake Coming Up Here?! 

I think this all the time! But then my heavy winter coat is a fleece lined hoodie.

He explained his ability to weather the cold he uses his mind to sort of trick his body into keeping him warm. I've found if you embrace the cold and convince yourself you love the cold you can stand colder weather.

He's said it before.. he's a mammal and can regulate his temperature haha

In a past video Matt addressed this particular super power he possesses; one he worked at and created. He attributes it to a deliberate, recalibration of what the brain perceives as cold. How the brain (you) reacts to peripheral body temperature sensors yelling at the brain; "cold, COLD, fucking COLD!". A friend of Matt's put him on to it. He seems to have successfully stilled "normal" reactions to very low temps; like shivering to create body heat by muscle activity and whinging. It all makes perfect sense to me as I discovered this effect decades ago and successfully trained myself to not be so affected by cold. Very Whim Hoff (spelling?). Friends and I started caving (spelunking) in the karst of Tasmania in the early 80s. Tasmania has many cold wet caves. I was deemed mildly hyperthermic one time. I refused some offered chocolate while we paused at a furthest, blind tunnel end. So I started only dressing in a heavy shirt to go out at night. No jumper or coat. While others had scarfs, hats and gloves. Eventually it meant that on the weekend. When I was underground and cold it was no big deal.

Short sleeve shirt and ladies sunglasses, in a snowstorm - like a Boss:)

Lizzy has a boyfriend. 😀

At least when she's not asleep. (Good lord, that woman will nap through the apocalypse if she's in a moving vehicle.)

@@ebikeliverystable I dont think his comment had anything to do with that but okay. Lol

She is like me. Can sleep anywhere at anytime.

@@ebikeliverystable what does her having a bf have to do with admiring her lovely personality? I think Trevor has an awesome personality but I'm probably NOT going to ask him marry me because he has a wife. 😂

Let me add Matt having no qualms about protecting his eyes with women's sunglasses. 😎

Matt never has a coat. Forgets at least one article of clothing in every video. Hat, belt, shades - always something.

Was gramps in a wheelchair?

Maybe he had them on backwards lol

Exactly what I was thinking. It’s hard enough to walk backwards slowly but running is something else.

Do snow shoes work on sand?

he is a little bit like how Randy was...

my thoughts as well!

I missed that little nugget of wisdom from Trevor.

The joys of youth. I remember those days.🤣

She could have been a surgeon. Military folks get pretty good at this skill as well.

Just one of Lizzie's many talents, seriously. The ability to nap at the drop of a hat (or a snowflake) is medically proven to keep you sharp as long as it's under 45 minutes. Trevor, hang on to those show shoes. It doesn't take long to get the hang of them and then you'll want them around all the time. Throw them in the back of the Bombi, wrapped up of course. They'll reduce your horizontal count considerably. Swing your leg out slightly away at the knee to keep them clear of each other. Might even work in soft sand! In general, what possesses you to go into snow territory without chains? Rudy spent four years in Canada. He knows this stuff. 'Course he's not the boss, so whatever. Send the Bombi to Rory, tell him to make it Trailmater bulletproof and send it back. With a small block of some kind in it. Three cylinders, then six cylinders when it feels so inclined just doesn't make the cut. Or get that beautiful monster you showed at Robby's. Obviously came from a ski resort but it can make its own dang road with that plow and it will take a monster winch, bigger than anything I've seen on any show so far. Love you all and congratulations to Trevor's son and his bride. May they live long and happy. Thanks for a fun video and best regards from E. Ontario!

im impressed by how useless she is.

@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 she's learning. she only just turned 20. she drives a lot of recoveries and does a lot of welding on shop projects. even first round draft picks in the NFL can sit the bench for their first year.

I avoid driving when the temperature hangs around 0 Celsius. Better with -4 than +4.

Living in Finland and I agree.

Yep. I can deal with it being slick when I expect it to be slick. Really hard when it’s a mix and you expect it to be just wet and it’s actually frozen.

Except it gets bad again at about maybe -20C and lower when things start to really freeze solid again, polish up, salt stops working, and even your winter tires start to harden up. Oh and all the exhaust condensation makes intersections a completely skating rink.

Good tip thank you, I don't drive in the snow much on the west coast, I'll keep it in mind when i do.

It really isn't. Just like anything it gets old. But I suppose it does have it's perks. Sometimes they get to go 4 wheeling to get to a job and they live in beautiful country.

I've always thought the same! I'm sure there's lots of downsides but the pros have to outweigh them. Getting to offroad/overland to rescue people, among such beautiful scenery, is so cool.

@@angrydingus5256 Nah, your office job will get old way before this ever will. Everyday is a new day, never know what you gonna get. Spend time outside in nature, get to recover different vehicles, using different recovery vehicles, and on your "off" days you get to build and maintain your recovery vehicles. And to top it off you have a very successful youtube channel that brings in more money than the actual recoveries do. It doesn't get much better than this.

@@angrydingus5256 You know youre living a delusional life when you think this is going to get old. Yeah right dude, everyone wishes they could laugh and joke between real rewarding work.

We are nice and warm, how would you like laying in the snow with snow down your back, trying to find a place to hook to, when you can't feel your fingers or toes? I've spent many winters working outside in the cold, you can have it.

NO, that's not my original joke.

This is too real. I had a very nice (and pricey) pair of shades for less than a month and a damn PINE CONE fell from a tree on me and broke them. Now I have a pair of gas station cheapos and they seem to last forever.

@@justanotheryoutubeuploader Two lesson here: (1) Never wear pricey shades under pine trees, and (2) Don't remember the second one.

lol!

lol, nice!

I'm sitting here in Kotzebue in my parka, I feel ya

Clean conscience.

I only wished he did!! Maybe someday he’ll realize how much his site was so dependent on them 😢

At least Trevor fell in the snow, so he had a soft landing. I think he stepped into some ice and slipped.

85 lol

Hard hats don't protect your head from falls LOL

Spoiler alert next time you asshole

@@marcusaurelius652 why do you read the comments before you watch the vid if you're sensitive about spoilers?

@@georgevinson612 they are not even traditional snowshoes.

Yes it is worth it to go. I was there last May 1700 miles from San Jose CA and yes it was the Scenic route. Matt and crew took the time to make me feel like one of the family. By the way I have a signed t-shirt from the whole crew for sale to pay for the gas bill 😝🤣. HIT THE LIKE BUTTON 👍 TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT VIDEOS YOU HAVE SEEN. A BIG FAN, LENNY

By his own admission, sand is his specialty, then mud. He is less comfortable with snow because he has the least experience with it.

He would be getting writers cramp.

He fills them out ahead of time because it's a sure bet he's going to bite the dust! 😁

Thats not Trevor its Bigfoot.

@@bobstratton6362 underrated comment right here 😆

Trevor should be wearing full hockey gear every time he goes out

no watch after that way Matt keeps busy lol

He explains it in one of the previous videos.

It’s surprising how you can acclimatize to different temps. By the end of summer I find a +5 degree Celsius night frigid. But this morning I walked outside in my bathrobe and thought it was a beautiful warm morning at -5 degrees Celsius.

Methril undergarments like frodo

500 pounds in the bed I found of value with some of the weight being sand and the rest Beer & firewood

@@hunterlogan2913 Or even just shoveling snow into the back can help a bit.

Good stuff I would of never think of this till now

Yep. My dad used to set a round bale in the bed of his truck every time it snowed.

@@bustedknuckles6051 My next door neigbor used four 100 pound pieces of steel in his half ton.

I have played up there in the winter during the hunts but had big tires and big chains on board.

Tire chains are great and can sure save your butt, however they are a major pain to put on. I would carry some just in case,, but why bother chaining up when you have a snow cat to pull you out?

@@chrisloehr6641 modern chains are a breeze to put on. Self tensioning and everything.

I keep thinking the same thing. Put some chains on those trucks and you would not get stuck in that much snow. Especially if you do all 4 wheels. Mine go on in 5 minutes. 2 clips in the front, 1 on the back and a tightener. But i guess that's not as fun (or as fun to watch) as trying to make it without :)

oregon ducks suck

😀😀Ek sit nou in Kanada waar ek uitgevind het hoe jy die een oomblik lekker in die sneeu ry en die volgende oomblik sit jy VAS en benodig hulp.

@@FerdiLouw Ja, ons boere is ook oral in die wereld! Ons is juis besig om Griekeland toe te emigreer. My vrou is Grieks. In Thessaloniki kan die sneeu in die winter n meter diep le maar in die somer is dit so warm, jy le net. In die aand begin die lewe weer. Nog 2 jaar en 3 maande dan is ek afgetree, dan gaan ons as Erdogan nie n Putin scheme op die Grieke trek nie! Dis dalk veiliger om asiel te soek by Matt's Offroad Recovery in Hurricane! 😁🤓🇿🇦🇨🇦🇬🇷

@@FerdiLouw At first glance I thought you wrote in Dutch but soon realized it's Afrikaans. Could read it no matter ;-)

i take semi truck tire chains with x bar cross links,cut them down to fit my pu truck,4 wh dr,unstoppable in any condition

@@dethray1000 Except when framed out in deep snow, If the tires are not on the ground it does not matter chains or not.

@@iffykidmn8170 I don’t miss chaining up in snow when I lived in N Mn.

@@arthurbrumagem3844 I do not look forward to it but keep a set of chains in the vehicle for use in the right conditions, I have even used them in South Dakota gumbo during spring break up. are they the answer for all conditions NOPE but under the right conditions they do work.

@@iffykidmn8170 I agree. They helped me in crappy conditions other than snow as well. I have wrapped them around the axle housing because they weren’t tight enough

BTW, the "guy" is Tucker and he is an editor for MORR.
