Good kids come from good parents. Matts confidence in his boys means he did his most important job of all. Being a good dad. The boys are smart, they will always remember what dad taught them. It is up to them to utilize that knowlege. It appears, they do a very good job as well. Nice work team!

One of my favorite memories is Coming back from Grandma's after Christmas at age 10. Weather wasn't very accurate in 1961. We hit a blizzard, and the local farmers with their tractors were helping people through the low spot in the road where the drifting was worst. Made it to the next town, and spent the night in the only hotel's lobby with about 100 other travelers. Got in trouble playing on the elevator.

@sixupsprite5501 Год назад

Calmness has always been important in driving. I'd bet the majority of snow/ice related accidents are caused by overcorrecting/reacting. I'll also say that a lot of these newer cars with some of their safety features can actually be very dangerous in the snow/ice. Like my Corolla's desire to randomly apply the brakes because it thinks I'm too close to a semi in the right lane. You can't let the cars drive themselves in the snow, the snow needs a hooman.

@hgj2019 Год назад

You are right! When I was a little over 50 I moved to the white (snowy!) mountains of AZ having lived my whole life until then in the southeast. I was very impressed by driving distances. I became accustomed to driving over 3 hours to Phoenix for a couple hours of shopping. I’ve driven 5 hours to north NM for a few hours of fishing, then back 5hours to get home. Long day! It is just a matter of what you get accustomed to,but long drives are fairly common out west. We only very rarely drive those distances in the east unless there is serious business to tend to.

@@hgj2019 Growing up in South Florida, almost everything you could ever need was available nearby. 15-20 minutes was a long drive. A few years ago, my wife and I went to the Grand Canyon and surrounding area. We circumnavigated the canyon in 10 days. I planned the trip such that each place we stayed was about about 2 to 3 hours of driving. It is a bit of a culture shock how far apart towns are out there compared to here. In South Florida, the east coast is pretty much a ribbon of pavement and unbroken towns and cities for about 140 miles from Miami to Vero Beach, then it thins out a bit. You probably can't drive an hour in Florida without going through a town of some sort. Out west, it seems that an hour is just getting the car warmed up.

@hgj2019 Год назад

Roger, I lived about three hours from the south rim of GC,which is one of my favorite places. The AZ county I lived in covers an area of almost ten thousand square miles and is over 300 miles from northern to southern ends. It takes over 6 hours to drive one way, north to south, in constantly changing scenery. The south end of the county is in what is claimed to be the largest ponderosa pine forrest in the world (part of which goes over to the GC). The north end is high desert around monument valley. Diversity on any of a number of scales that staggers one’s imagination. Great memories.

@@gaylengurr3911 they do in some places. Colorado has a “traction law” that mandates them in some areas. I owned them but only really NEEDED them once, and they were not in the truck. In eastern AZ the snow tends to come and go pretty quickly, only lingering in the forests and at fairly high elevation. I lived there several years with only a 2wd vehicle which served me adequately. Only bought a 4wd to get into places that were a little more remote, and even then it was a “stock” 4x4 with no lockers, and I often ran street tires year round.

@tjtobin86 Год назад

As someone who only ever has to deal with getting people out of snowy ditches, this one hit home. For those that don't know, it is VERY tough to know when the road ends and the ditch starts and once you get your tires in the ditch, it usually sucks you in. The average driver tries to get themselves out at that point and it typically sucks you in more til you are just like these guys were.

@RenaxTM91 Год назад

Yea these conditions are tough, normal cars and trucks on normal tires doesn't really stand a chance, I wouldn't even try in my van without the snow chains on and even then I probably would have issues...

I'm in North Alabama and we rarely get snow. In 2019 we had a pretty decent snow storm and I pulled out several people. Five in one night from the same spot. They were all trying to make it up a small hill, but made the mistake most people do of not carrying enough speed. I turned them around using the trick I've seen Matt do of setting the parking brake, hooking to the front and letting the vehicle pivot. It worked fantastic and the drivers were all amazed. After a quick snow driving lesson, which was basically plan out your route with as few hills as possible, use the momentum speed gives you, and slow down way sooner than normal I sent them on their way. All but one tried to pay me, but I wouldn't take it. Since then even though I hate snow I kinda hope for it so that I can get out and use the skills I learn watching Matt and crew and help people.

Your kids are very well spoken a true testament of your parenting Matt kudos to you on a side note Matt a shorter rope will really help in the snow to get it out the ditch faster and easier !

Just love these people with 4 wheel drive trucks with lift kits and big tires and get stuck and then blame everything else but themselves. From Michigan. I have a 1979 ford f 350 that will give the Lengend Morvair a run for its money. Its done right. Love you guys and girls. You are simply the best. Thank you Matt for your professionalism and keeping it real.👍❤️

Awesome recoveries! The knowledge and skill you are passing on to your boys can not be replaced!! Keep up the great work!

@milomiller909 Год назад

A fantastic recovery guys. God bless you all.

@redstorm7414 Год назад

Hello, I discovered you 2 weeks ago ..... and I watch you every day from France. I am very pleasantly surprised by your calm and your advice. You often have a smile on your face. Moreover, you have nice dogs and you show that you love them and that they return it to you. See you soon for more adventures.

Matt and Jaymie, your boys are all very skilled and smart. Go ahead and be proud parents. Matt, you frequently sport a dizzying array of tapes to tape up your hand injuries. You and your team perform such an important community service, and on top of that, you also give back to the community in a big way. Thank you for your service.

the guy in the blue truck was probably flying down that road

Awesome video. Loved the comment about putting the rock back (or not). This Cedar City guy loves your snow recoveries and pretty much everything else you do.

@oliverohnemus5791 Год назад

The other problem with diesel pu’s in slick conditions is the weight balance is all wrong, all the weight is on the front axle, if you have one put at least 1500 to 2000 lbs in the bed behind the rear axle and they’ll do much better

@thedolt9215 Год назад

I feel a lot worse for the tree that I do for the truck… That’s what happens when you try to drift your pick up around the corner

@volvo09 Год назад

Yeah he was flying... He blasted that rock. Good thing someone wasn't coming across that corner.

@alexduke5402 Год назад

Wonder if it was an insurance job Maybe? Couldn't afford the note. Or he watch Gymkhana one too many times. Driving fast on dirt roads is fun but make sure you learn how to do it on flat land first. Know your turns before you blast down a road hahaha

@DovieRuthAuthor Год назад

@@alexduke5402 Insurance generally doesn’t cover dirt road driving.

@timwienand7637 Год назад

Yeah when the driver said, 'I caught the soft shoulder" I said and you lost is since you were FLYING! Hope his insurance company sees this and denies the claim on basis of stupidity.

@miniaturemachinist6098 Год назад

It's a good thing that nobody was coming from the other direction when that blue truck slid off the road. Hopefully he will learn to slow down before he ends up killing/hurting somebody.

@karoylcooper8006 Год назад

Great the way you teach your sons....and HOW THEY LISTEN! You are a model father with was some model sons! SO NICE TO SEE! So many parents that don’t realize their imprint on their children, no matter what their age! Thank you Matt, just for the values you represent!!

@bigredc222 Год назад

It's great that they want to learn, so many times kids don't want to follow in their father's footsteps. All my friends are motor heads and so many of their kids have no desire to work with tools, even as a hobby.

@stephend.mixell2042 Год назад

I am glad I am retired and do not drive in snow anymore. The last years I worked I had 4x4 and it and I did good with it. But it's gone and I have an AWD SUV but not happing in Major snow. You guys always get it done and that is what I love. Be safe take care I'll keep watching.

@guyconnell2250 Год назад

At 18:29 you said it. Absolutely true. Those Dodge/Ram Cummins are helpless in snow and deep mud. That 1200 lb motor makes the front end like an anchor. Then, there you sit. Especially with tires like on this one. Might I suggest however, tire chains on all corners. I can't exaggerate what a huge difference they make.

@bernieshort6311 Год назад

You always seem to make the right decisions matt and having a good team for sure helps. Nice recoveries guys, stay safe and arrive home with yourselves and vehicles intact.

@FeralPreacher Год назад

All that cloud dandruff and freezing weather sure is pretty, especially when I can watch it from my warm North Texas home. Years ago I was in that kind of conditions and don't miss it at all. Glad you had great success and thanks for sharing.

You guys are happy. You can experience all kinds of weather ~at the same time ~at the same place

@mikeborkhuis7278 Год назад

Matt, as a long time diesel driver I'm used to the small throttle adjustments and torque management that's necessary when operating in slick conditions. I grew up in Western NY in the lake effect snow belts, so I'm used to driving them in snow and slick conditions. For me when I get in a gas truck (usually dealer loaner) I have the opposite problem you do. The throttle seems sooooo unresponsive compared to what I'm used to. Not to mention the screaming high RPM that seem required for the gasser to develop power. For me the biggest negative to my diesel trucks is the heavier engine weight, compared to the gas trucks. Combined the the light weight of the rear of a pickup and that diesel torque they can be fun to drive when it's slick out. =)

@ryancoke9 Год назад

I wish you guys were in my neck of the woods with the morrvair!! Most of my wheeling is in feet and feet of snow, and the morrvair would be an awesome rig for it!!! Good job Colin for navigating through the snow, impressive considering the amount of snow driving you guys actually do

@FitChaser Год назад

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made. Really enjoy having Collin and Rhett on the team. It’s cool to see how you have and continue to share your knowledge with them! They are impressive young men 👏🏼

@jerryfrasier8839 Год назад

I used to live in Anchorage and drove cab for a living. If you start to slide take your feet off the pedals usually the car will straighten up. We had an huge ice storm one November right before Thanksgiving and me in my rear wheel drive crown vic taxi, I did 189 miles that night. I had people with 4x4's calling me to take them up to the hillside on the mountain in my rear wheel drive crown vic. I think I went up there 4 times, I called it riding the slip-n-slide. Then the next day I learned that the car owner had waived the leases for the cars to keep drivers from driving that night. It has to be bad, bad, bad, bad before a car owner would waive leases for weather in Alaska. and I drove and made good money that night.

@elainetanner178 Год назад

Great explanation about the diesel. I refuse to drive a automatic but I am always having to pull out in bad roads, snow, ice with a jag on and manual is the best for me.

All the boys are naturals. They seem to be good drivers as soon as they get in the seat and know what to do when they get there. Matt's whole family are awesome and great at recovery work whenever needed and even enjoy doing it.

@Owens_Racing Год назад

The current crew, kid’s included is doing some great work together. Matt wish you all a fantastic 2023. Edit: Heavy diesels are great in snow until they aren’t. Then that 8k+lbs is freaking anchor. LoL (posted before Matt discussed tq application and agree 100% with him on that.
