I was the drone pilot for this event, and it was SO MUCH FUN! Thanks MORR for the opportunity to come fly!

The look on Eric's face when he got surprised with that challenger lift is HEART WARMING!!! GREAT JOB guys! What an amazing group of people!

Kudos to everyone who put on this event, it was a great experience. We are snowbird Canadians and were so glad we went. After watching the video we know we got so much more from being at the games. When recognizing the people who contributed I am not sure if the St. George Shuttle was mentioned. Driver Kevin was the best ambassador, he was friendly and accommodating. We stayed at the Westside Campground at Sand Hollow so the boat launch parking pick-up was very convenient. Everyone was so friendly. On the day of the main event as we were going to walk through the tunnel to head up the hill, a friendly family offered us a ride up and walking back after got picked up by a shuttle and enjoyed a ride down. On Saturday we rented a RZR from Mad Moose rentals, taking them up on their show special price and thoroughly enjoyed the sand dunes, rocks and scenery. We are from BC Canada and live in a beautiful area but we were in awe of the rock formations, colours, and scenic views in southern Utah. We are back home now and still have such a good feeling from being there and I could go on and on but will stop now because IYWTYK (If you were there you know!) We were there!

Genuinely impressed by this community for leaving the trail better than it started. Looks like such a great time, I hope there’s more MORR community events in the future!

Eric getting emotional shows how much character he has and how humble he is. He deserves a million subscribers. He drove across the country with a truck that is not set up for that terrain , broke the truck and still wants to come back.

I love how other minded Matt is. Instead pursuing things for himself he's constantly bringing up the people around him. He has made a whole community/genre on RU-vid popular. Many channels people would have never heard of with put him being other minded.

Props to the production team for getting this out so quickly. I have spent over an hour editing and producing a 70 second video before, from only 5 minutes of footage. I don't think a lot of folks appreciate how much work it takes to produce watchable, quality content.

Eric is such a humble and real person. He and his crew deserve the attention. Utah people should be proud of what you have accomplished. Y'all make me want to move to Utah!

Hats off to the Editors at MORR! I can only imagine the hundreds of hours of film you had to trudge through to refine it into this 1.5 hour video. Great Job to everyone involved!

When you watch these videos, you'll always see Rory helping other people. What an awesome guy he is. Also, I love how much respect Matt is always showing towards Eric. He was an underdog coming from so far, and still did amazing, so nice to see all of them giving so much respect to him. In a world of negativity these videos are a breath of fresh air.

This was awesome. When they gave Eric that lift it legitimately brought a tear to my eyes. Helluva job by everyone involved.

I think some more sponsors need to get in contact with Eric. That was so heart warming. Massive respect to Challenger lifts for that👊. Great show from the MORR team. Definitely want to watch the next one or maybe even travel from the UK to see in person.

The moment from 1:11:11 to about 1:13:30 with Eric up the stage was incredibly heart warming.

That was epic! So glad Eric got the respect he deserves for this. So many of us found the rest of you because we started watching a beat-up red square body in the woods of northern Wisconsin. Love all you guys! Thanks for the quality entertainment! Also condolences for Robert's family. Good friends keep us going in many ways...

Eric has such a heart of gold. I'm so happy to see him get a lift for his shop. No one deserves it more.

Seeing how much this means to Eric and him showing his emotions has me crying right along with him. That man deserves the world

So much envy for the folks that could go out there for this. I heard it was as awesome and wholesome as I imagined it would be. So glad it was a success and everyone had a great time!

The dedication to Eric made me cry. I started watching him from the beginning, and yes. He is the Original. He deserves all the credit for this.

What an amazing bunch of folks! You all are so blessed to be a part of such a great bunch of friends. It was a real blessing to see Eric so humbly receive the lift for his shop. And it was nice to see how well people did with not trashing the place. I wish the people here in Tennessee would learn from this and take better care of the beautiful landscape we’ve been given to live amongst. Looking forward to next years games. Maybe an oval track in the sand going for best time towing your Isuzu, or maybe an oval track with a slalom or some obstacles including a small jump.

I insisted my husband & our best friend go to the wrecker games. Both around 70 and needed a guy trip. They used to off-road when younger. Other than the weather and distance between their campsite & events, they had fun. I really wanted to go, but stayed home and watched videos as they were posted. The guys want to go in 2024 and I told them I’m going too!!! Love all you guys’ RU-vid channels! Keep on towing and making videos!

Not only was this event fun, thrilling, and entertaining. It was heart warming, welcoming and brought us all together as a family. Whether we were there in person or watching from home. Thank you to everyone. Staff, competitors, or just watching.

My deepest sympathies to Robert Blake’s wife, Paige, their children & entire family. Also my sympathies to the MORR family as well. Rest in peace Robert. Please please do this again next year, I want to attend this event!!

Having been stuck at home, I am more than pleasantly surprised at how well the event went and how well it was covered by this channel! Seriously just as good, if not better than, a syndicated program on TV! I look forward to looking at what the other channels did! My biggest praise must go to the crowd that left no trash behind! It brought tears to my eyes to hear that a large group of people could come together and have 3 days of fun and not leave a heap of garbage! I also would like to acknowledge the lack of alcoholic beverages and containers shown in this video. I also loved where Matt was fist bumping all the kids and the one kid had the foam hand! Matt seems like such a beautiful person! ...and he has mad skills when it comes to the off-road recovery stuff! This was a fantastic watch....I hope I can attend in person in the future! 💛

The off-road community in a whole is absolutely amazing. Some of the best people I've ever met. Loving, caring, giving group you could ever spend time with

Lizzy deserves her own rock crawler after this, she is such a trooper, Matt got my heart pounding a couple of times. Great job Lizzy. God bless you all So sorry for the loss.

Matt, thank you so much for making such a concerted effort to help Eric and build up his channel because no one has donated more time to help people in the off-road community than he has👍👍👍👍👍

This a monumental editing job... and very creative as well. We all get to meet and get to know the awesome people who build these magnificent beasts... but it's a shame we rarely see (and never get to know) the wonderful people behind the scenes... Like the editors, for starters. For example, last year's Christmas Party would have been an ideal time to have gone round the tables and introduced us, instead of the endless (and deserved) giveaways... You even sometimes have people in the back seats who don't even get a mention. We love this extended 'family' a lot - no need to hide them.

Best Calab on RU-vid. Thank you everyone who participated and to everyone that got to be there!. Great job on leaving the trails cleaner than you found them.

So happy for the OG, Eric from BSF, getting that Challenger lift. One of the most hardworking, humble guys out there

RIP Robert. ❤ what an awesome event and what an incredible community and team! Can really see this becoming massive over the years as it deserves to be! Could be a great way to honour Robert and raise money for charity in the future!

Looks like it was a ton of fun. Interesting that Matt was the only one who actually carried his car for the whole trail ride. Usually i just figure that whatever Rory does is the right way but what Matt did seemed to work well too.

Matt: I attended the event and was truly impressed with your TEAM, especially when dealing with AN OVERWHELMING number of attendees! It was nice to meet you and hope you can do this again next year! EVERYONE of your competitors got along very well and helped each other out when needed. The venue was perfect to test machines and skills simultaneously and I enjoyed watching all of you "do your thing"! Thanks for a great time! I hope yours and others efforts convince the BLM NOT to give away the land where you make your money. The BLM is trying to lock up lots of land right now...everywhere!

Matt, you knocked it out of the park. What a great bunch of folks coming together that made this even possible. The teams, all the behind the scenes folks, sponsors & volunteers. Good on you boyo! And godspeed home to you Robert Blake ❤

It warms my heart to know how amazing your fans are Matt! Your fans leaving no trash, they are as CLASSY as you are Sir! You have THE BEST channel on RU-vid, hands down! Thank you for this amazing event, that was a ton of fun to watch.

Matt, as flatlanders here in Ohio, we watch your videos in amazement. We loved the games, the whole spirit of the event and the wonderful contestants. Thanks to you we have been watching all the RU-vid videos of their prep for this event and all the fun you fellows have when you get together. The compassion that shows through all these events, with everyone helping each other and the love of this difficult sport. We are going to watch every minute of all of them as I'm sure you intended us all to do. We send our sympathy to Robert's Family and were not surprised by the gofundme accounts or the donation of the "bribe" money from all the judges. Good clean, and a little sandy, fun and good family entertainment for all of us who hold our breath as you climb those rocks with big grins on your faces. You have introduced us to all these wonderful people that you know and we are all better for the knowing. Thank you all, and yes, we will be watching. Ohio Farmers

Eric tearing up when he found out they gave him a lift is the most wholesome thing I'm ever seen in the RU-vid automotive community.

This is absolutely incredible! The amount of people who came together and the companies who sponsored...what an awesome event.

I got chills when they gave Eric the lift. Such a great community.

Greetings from Ukraine! Dear Matt, I would like to thank you for this great event and other RU-vid activities on your channel. I have been fond of off-roading here in Ukraine for several years, but the last year made all our hobbies move backward and was replaced by the war. While we here don't have time to party as you did on a Wrecker Games, your videos help me to distract for a moment and dive into an extraordinary life of the off-roading. I love how you treat your team as your family and support others. Hellos to Lizzy, Tomtom, Edd, and others. We will fight back our territories and finish this war with Ukraine's victory asap. After that, I plan to travel to the USA to see you and shake your hand. Thank you once more. Please, proceed to do what you are doing because this is an excellent example of good people's behavior. P.S. Sorry for my English )

I'm truly sorry for your loss, between that and the comrades you guys have for one another is amazing, I'm not one to cry but this has been so amazing and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I truly hope I can make it next year. If the world was like this, we'd live in a much better place

Eric is such a great guy, I know he really appreciates all you guys did to help him out. He is the reason I found your channel.

Should take a moment to thank the drivers in the tow vehicles. They were an integral part of the teams. So awesome to see such a great event & how well it came together. All of you deserve high praise for a clean & family friendly event!

I just had to come back a few days later and post a comment. The Event was Great and all of the coverage from each channel was great to watch also. I am just a little disappointed that none of the competitors thanked you Matt. You and your team made it all happen, and I feel you have really helped all of their platforms grow to what they are. Maybe they said something in person, but they should say thank you on video. Keep up the great content and look forward to more Heavy Wrecker

I love the emphasis on cleaning up the trails. Great event, great spectators. You guys have set the bar pretty high for any similar future events. Loved every minute of it!

Matt, this was such a great idea! You are surrounded by an amazing group of people too. When your judges all gave up their “bribe” money for Paige, I was legit in tears! To see such compassion from all of them was just awesome to see!!! May God bless you:-)

I had an absolute blast, and meeting all of you in person was awesome. Even though everyone was really busy with the event, you still took the time to meet the fans. Thank you Matt and everyone involved. This was such a fun and unique experience, I really hope that there are more to come.

I've only just begun entering into "off road", I tripped with my uncles back in the sixties and seventies, in my teens, only just finally bought a jeep this year and began my journey into this "sport". This event was great to watch, even if half a year later. I've gotten used to events that don't trash the world, but this has been exceptional. What a great crowd showed up in support.

It is fantastic to see a community like this come together, have fun, and not be drama filled!

I live in Argentina and I find myself getting teared up with this, don´t know why. I guess it´s allways nice to see hard working people with family values comming together and doing something like this just because it could be fun and it is. Congrats form the south hemisphere and hope to visit ya´ll one day.

I remember those early clips of Rory trying to talk to the camera. Even though it was awkward you could tell it was the right move. Rory is a real character!

Hey Matt, good job with this competetion. It would be nice to see The Recovery Games become an annual nationwide event in different terrains found all accross the country. Not all interested spectators are able to travel long distances. Just a thought. Thank you and all participants for the experience.

In a world of depressing news and negativity all over the internet. I can't tell you how refreshing it is seeing something like this come together. Absolutely fantastic! I have a challenger VLE10 lift myself in my shop, and seeing them sponsor Eric with a lift makes me even happier I supported a company like that. Cheers from Canada.

Well done to all concerned. Planners, videographers, contestants, helpers and everyone working behind the scenes.

What an awesome event! Thanks for putting this on. RIP Robert and condolences to your wife, family and incredible friends. Once I knew Merlin had won the wild card, I knew people would be amazed. All the athletes were awesome! The OG BSF brought a game of experience. Rory was Rory, methodical and calculating. Paul delivers the good stuff, always entertaining. Matt, your wrecker is a beast and it is a force to be reckoned with. Nice work by everyone! Last, but not least, the way the fans left the place better than they found it speaks volumes. Can't wait til next time

Thank you Matt and everyone involved for putting this together! It was a great event with a lot of fantastic people. Getting to meet the contestants and other spectators, it is evident how mindful and respectful everyone here was. I hope to be able to attend again in the future, you all have put together a great event. Taking the time to talk to fans and just be a real person means a lot and has only raised my respect for you. Take care and God bless!

Thanks Matt's Off Road Recovery and everyone who helped to make this event happen. Unbeilvably done and a 100% enjoyed it. You all help make home bound people still enjoy and live vicariously though all your adventures.. :) 👍👍 Look forward to next years event???????

All of the participating athletes are crazy-capable world-class drivers. Somehow though, Rory's style of technical driving and team dynamics is the most impressive to me. So much entertainment in this event, it's truly groundbreaking.

What a great idea this was. I think you should definitely make this an annual event. Maybe try different terrains, like seeing how all the wreckers would do in BSF territory, the midwest. In the snow and mud. Also great to hear the spectators and participants were respectful and cleaned up after themselves . Trophies to them as well

The real hero in this video is everyone that was behind this video that was never shown and Lizzy, what a trooper to take that ride behind The Worlds Largest Wrecker in such rough terrain.

What an amazing group of people. You must be so proud of your employees and volunteers. It looked like it was well organized.

Not sure why this made me emotional. What awesome people you all are and the fact that people showed up and managed to keep the area clean. Is beyond impressive. What an amazing community you have created. If this happens again. You best believe ill make a road trip out for this. Made this comment before I finished the video. RIP Robert

An hour and a half of Matt’s off-road recovery, and everyone else?! Doing a bunch of cool stuff, and having a blast?! Yes please!!

Who would believe this ! Well done MORR. Us armchair offroaders really appreciate you taking us along with you! Robert would have loved this!

Really Matt and all of your crew YOURE AWESOME All the respect that was given to the trail just shows the quality of views that Matt attracts. I’d say one of the most stand up, humble guys in the off-road business. I normally try to stay away from his videos because they’re addicting… I end up watching 5 or so

Thank you Matt (and everyone else involved) for giving me almost an hour and a half of nothing but smiles and laughs! The part with the eulogy for Robert Blake was very sad, tho. I was so impressed with the corrupt judges donating their bribes to Paige Blake. Now I can't wait for next year!!!

What an insanely respectful crowd - the instantaneous silence was heartwarming. If you were there you are beautiful...

the care you guys put into making sure all garbage not just your own was cleaned up is exactly why i’m subscribed to this channel. good CLEAN fun that i can watch with my kid

BSF Eric is the true OG wrecker. I am so proud of the job he did. I thank you so much for having them there.

I can’t explain how happy I am right now seeing a video longer than an hour. This video should be multiple hours!

Let's be honest.... Matt obviously won the games lol. He was being VERY diplomatic when he told the judges to make sure he gets last place 🤣 it just shows what kind of people they are. They for sure the nicest and most down to earth people out there. So selfless and kind. To the entire crew I thank you for all that you do. 👌

I found you guys through the doughnut collaboration and I CANT STOP WATCHING the recoveries I’m loving, this one is phenomenal! Keep on keeping on I’ve been watching your videos for like three hours straight now 🤣

One of the most anticipated videos on RU-vid and it doesn't disappoint! Incredible performance for a vehicle custom built from the ground up. Everyone else used a truck platform. This is possible the best use of RU-vid since it started. I wish all of America would watch this and see how connected we all really are as Americans! Robert, may God watch over you in his kingdom!

Gotta love when people get together like this and the energy just comes alive

Do have to say it was a blast watching this from home , I linked my phone to the big screen and man I didn't even see one piece of napkin or a crushed soda can on the ground anywhere and would love to also thank those who showed up for the games and for their support as well as the other spectators who left the park in "pristine shape" and also loved how some also helped flip over some of the recovery rides to help keep the games going so smoothly and kept it fun without a ton of boring waiting time. I had to pause this a few times just because I didn't want to miss one second of this one..glad a few other channels also recorded it so will be glad to watch it again from another added perspective per each channel if i have the time to knock them out one after the other lol. Sadden I couldn't even attend it because I would have taken my family out there but the transmission and or the transfer case in my jeep is done for so it's not going anywhere anytime soon which sucks bc i love that jeep and even had gotten depressed a bit after breaking my leg and not being able to work or do anything really to get it fixed since the wife is the only one working at the moment to keep up ok the bills.. have thought about some schooling but haven't quite found anything local that is dedicated to that one thing instead of a bunch of other stuff just for some credits. But now it's gotten to point of needing to work more than I need to learn something new. This channels specifically and fab rats have helped me a great bit to wanna keep pushing forward but the broken leg hasn't quite healed up yet so gonna take some bit of rehabbing it to get anywhere near back to normal since the knee buckles a ton now and hurts a ton for 2 more days so can't trust it to walk around on for work yet. So love watching these videos in the mean time..n

This is such good entertainment. No cable for us. Love this group of people

Man this was so awesome to see!! Well done MORR team and everyone else who helped make it possible 👏

That track was way tougher than I expected! I would want Rory to recover my vehicle, Paul to recover my enemy’s vehicle, Merlin to put on a show, and Matt to take me for a ride

Obviously, you have your fans and your many admirers. It's clearly obvious to myself and, I suspect most others, that you folks at Matt's Off Road Recovery are truly nice and patriotic people. Well done to all of you. And keep up the great work! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

You guys have taken an underrated, labor intensive, underpaid, insurance fighting, police aggravating, customer maddening job and made it COOL! You guys have literally revolutionized towing, THANK YOU!

Such an amazing weekend! I can already tell my face is going to hurt from smiling while watching 😊

the crowd's respect for the environment was indeed something else... everyone on this channel puts great effort in showing a positive and constructive attitude which has real-world impact. fantastic event, mad respect...

Omg you guys are just great people. Matt I can't get over how generally good nature and team player you are. Also I really seen just how stupidly powerful the nugget or wrecker is... Everyone a the event is awsome. If there's a next year I want to fly in and see it

I never thought Off-Road Towing would be an extreme sport category, but here we are 😂

Huge respect for the work, passion and thinking that went into this event. You guys make it look almost easy, but we know the grueling work it takes to prepare and run something like this.

All the stories and Eric receiving a lift for his shop choked me up a lil, this is absolutely amazing ❤

Thank you to all involved in making this event, laugh out loud, happy ,sad, terrifying, it was great!

Matt, you commented on how clean the fans left the park, that is fabulous. We did cross country motorcycle races years ago. One of the nicest venues we camped and road at was basically a horse establishment. The owner commented as we were finishing a weekend that we left the place cleaner that the folks that it was built for. It’s not the majority that trash the places, it’s the individuals that think they don’t have to behave that hurt our community. Fun event to watch on RU-vid!!!

I remember Matt saying he wouldn't pick Pau as a spotter because "he doesn't care about scratched paint or roll overs" every time Paul tears something up. Started with Blue Steel's Headlight and hood. LOL

Ah, yes, Rory from Trail Mader, the man who invented sand, the miraculous substance that revolutionized the world of off-road recovery in Utah. With sand, you can get unstuck from even the stickiest of mud pits and treacherous terrain. It’s no wonder that Rory is considered the gold standard of off-road recovery. If you ever find yourself stranded in the Utah wilderness, just remember the name Rory and his magical invention of sand. It’s like having a genie in a bottle, but instead of wishes, you get traction.

Man this video is so well put together the audio from the v8s came through so well. Amazing job guys. Love the channel.

Matt really is a natural entertainer. So many great people. Making me think i should move lol.

As awesome as this event was, as great as the people are, my favorite part is how no one left trash laying around. There's a lot of great people in these communities. I can't tell you how many events I've been to where we've packed out several trash bags worth of trash from a small area.

A huge thanks to everyone who worked their butts off to create a truly amazing event. It was a great honor and pleasure to be there and to meet so many down to earth folks and enjoy some really beautiful scenery.

I have been watching matts off road recovery channel for about a year now.. ive been a member of the site for the better part of a year. I have not missed an episode i think. Every episode is packed with fun and games. no matter if they are working or not and yes they get the job done. I have observed matt and have come to the conclusion that he is the most selfless man ive ever seen on youtube. kudos to you matt and all the others you are all a fine bunch of people. extended family even, to each other.. This event was nothing more than a bunch of guys getting out there and having fun and putting on a great show, I have watched just about every video on the wrecker games they were all great and thank you to all you uploaders. you may not know this but people look up to you guys and to most of us you are all role models to us. thank you all for your entertaining videos. Keep it up. im also sorry about the passing of your friend my deepest sympathies to you all and especially to the family.

Congrats to Matt and his team for putting this event together. You brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people.

Okay, so who else got misty eyed with Eric's time and the presentation of the lift? I'll admit it!! And he was the first off-road recovery i started watching. Amazing and humble!

Thanks to all of you for putting this event on. You provide so much entertainment for us. I'm so sorry that you lost a good friend during this. I'm sure he will be greatly missed. Thanks for everything you do

Matt the wrecker you and your crew put together is truly an awesome piece of equipment!

What a great event, I really enjoy that Matt teamed up with the girls! Looks like everyone had a blast and no drama. Weather was nice too! I hope to make it next year from southern Oregon. Lizzy has been a wonderful role model and ambassador for young girls growing up who may want to go into the automotive industry. Your an awesome young lady. Matt your awesome for giving her that opportunity. Thank you for all the extra work bring this to RU-vid for those of us that enjoy these things.
