    Thank you MORR for including Utah Public Lands Alliance and our Volunteers in the Wrecker Games. We had a great time meeting everyone that stopped by our booth to learn how they can help keep public lands open. We are deeply appreciative of the opportunity, and would like to express our sincere condolences to Robert’s friends and family

      The constitution keeps public lands open
      It is clearly stated common law of the land.
      Legislation cannot just up and overturn any constitutional protected right.

    We had a blast at the games, thank you to all the people, hours, sweat and tears that got put into this. We met Robert in line at pre-registration and he was so nice. We saw the emergency vehicles and life flight, but were too high up the mountain to see what had happened, and were sad to later hear that he didn’t make it. What’s weird about being a CZcams fan, is we feel like we know you and know you family and pets, so when we meet you it’s like talking to a familiar person, but you have no idea who we are 😊

    I have to admit, I've only passively watched this channel in the background. My husband is an avid fan & when he said he wanted to attended, I reluctantly agreed. I wasn't even sure how to describe what we were going to do. Well, you have a new subscriber in me! It was silly & fun & everyone was so nice. My husband got a picture with Matt & Jaymie on day 1 with the tow truck. I was super impressed with how accessible they were. They stood there for HOURS so everyone in line could get a photo with them. We did stand in line for the official photo op, but Lizzie & Tom left right before we got there. I can't even imagine how tired they all were. Even with the loss of their friend, Robert, the show went on. They honored him on the morning & evening of day 3 and then pressed on to keep the energy level high. Classy. My deepest sympathy to his friends & family. Watching this episode on the chaos behind the scenes, I'm even more impressed with how smooth everything went from a spectators view. PS, Holly - we were the ones stationed in England & had the lady recognize my corvette jacket and turns out I was friends with her Aunt. My Great Grandmothers name is Olga! Yet another thing we have in common. Fun to talk to you!! Great job everyone! I'm glad I went!

I never imagined that it would be so serious. You have my deepest sympathy. It's so hard to lose somebody. Please make his family aware of the condolences from all these well-wishing strangers, including myself.

    A message for Matt… a few things you should add to your WLORW wrecker.
    1. A potable water tank, hose, and pump… this could save you, or your crews life should they get stuff in the sticks. It would also be handy in many other ways.
    2. A couple real fire extinguishers suitable for fires you are likely to encounter, a large CO2 and a powder one for fuel fires.
    3. A stash of non perishable food.
    4. A small refrigerator for bottled water and snacks .
    5. Some kind of vehicle mounted 2 way radio to reach out when your phones don’t work.
    Good job on building a remarkably capable vehicle.

    Condolences to Robert's Family, his MORR Family, and to his friends. I can't imagine having such a tragedy at what was supposed to be a fun event for all of the CZcamsrs and their families to meet with fans an show-off their trucks.

    So much going on, it's amazing how it all comes together.
    My heart hurts for Robert and his family, people I've never even met. Even from the little part in the video, you can tell he is a genuinely good person. Rest in Peace brother.

    I've been watching snippets from the games posted by others here on CZcams, and we've all seen the build and "training" videos and now the tremendous effort from behind the scenes. The central team at MORR should all be immensely proud of what they created.
    But mixed emotions too.
    Such a gut punch then to see the normally jovial, all smiles Matt so upset. So sorry for the loss of one of the MORR family, my thoughts are with you all.

    Robert. It was a pleasure working with you in the "organized" kaos, and in the short amount of time we got to talk, I felt we'd known each other for years. We had a lot in common in that Robert was still serving in the military, and I was retired, and Robert was also a federal civil servant, and I had just retired from civil service. RIP my brother from another mother! Page, family, and friends... condolences from our family to yours. You are in our prayers!

    Good morning MORR crew!!!
    I wish I could have made it to the wrecker games. Watching all the other CZcamsrs post videos about it helped get an idea of what was happening there.
    My condolences on the passing of Robert. He looked like he was a great guy from the video. Celebrate his life and all the great memories and cherish the time spent with him. Those memories will preserve his spirit for eternity.

    I want to say Thank God for leading me to your videos. I have been watching MORR for a couple years now & I have truly come to love the group like family. The have truly been an inspiration for me as I battle chronic pain syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis which leaves me sitting and dealing with daily battles. Your shows have taken me to another level and make me feel better just watching it.
    I’ve prayed many times that God would allow me the privilege of being able to come and meet y’all. That would definitely be a dream come true. Your videos have brought me joy and happiness each time I turn the old tv on.
    Someday I hope to go on a recovery with you all someday. Thank you for pulling me out of the miry clay/mud and leave me with a huge smile. Love ya all, God Bless you abundantly,

I heard on a video that there were 5000 there!!! Great turn out!! Can't wait to see all the videos and find out how everyone did!!

    I want to thank everyone involved with the wrecker games for putting on such an outstanding event for a first time effort. The team did a fantastic job managing a very complex set of logistics. I was especially impressed with your ability to adapt quickly to the registration challenges. The games far exceeded my expectations. I also want to thank the competitors for their patience, friendliness and enthusiasm and for making themselves available for thousands of fans. It was a great family friendly event. I think everyone shed a few tears at the closing ceremonies during Jefe’s moving tribute to Robert. My deepest sympathies to the entire MORR family. Thanks again for your hard work creating a really awesome experience. Everyone who helped put the games together have my utmost respect and admiration. Thanks!

  • @realist7190
    @realist7190 Před rokem

    Mat and your support team, you guys did an amazing job with the project ( off-road wrecker challenge)!
    You definitely have developed the multi purpose heavy wrecker specific to your area business unit demands! Plus a great challenge for everyone in the area!
    The most aggressive driver & recovery community is the Merlin’s old school design! Never stopped and always on the execrator!
    The most comfortable and efficient with speed and personality was by far “trail Mater” impressive beyond anyone!
    The best overall performance from an upgraded wrecker with an easy pace is by far ‘fab rats’ with a great family basic commitment,
    Finally the “largest off road wrecker “ which was impressive beyond expectations! Consistent, reliable very easy to manipulate all types of terrain challenges for a variety of drivers!
    Excellent balance and job!

    No words. The wrecker is awesome. I can feel your sadness and I pray for healing in this time of mourning. Genuine human beings like Robert are very hard to come by. Of course I did not know him but I can tell what kind of man he was to have left a positive mark on the people in his life. All we can do when we lose someone in our lives is remember them and keep them in our hearts.

    Everyone behind the scenes did a fabulous job getting this event planned, setup, and completed. Not surprising Jefe was instrumental in making this such a huge success. I was there to witness the games. One would never guess this was the first time these games were put on. There were a couple hiccups. But, most of it were how much time things would take. Those things will be tweaked in future games. Just the fact that the preregistration had to be moved at the last minute could have sent the whole thing into chaos. But, those behind the scenes did a wonderful job jumping in and coming up with Plan B. When I came through I had no idea this was Plan B. It was smooth with lines being divided to maximize the number of cars moving through. GREAT JOB TO ALL THE PLANNERS AND VOLUNTEERS!
