Thanks for watching, and
Merry Christmas from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
My wife used to give me a hard time watching these videos, until we had to pull her sister's car out of a ditch and I sort of knew what to do. Thanks Matt!
This is exactly the reason why I watch these types of videos. It’s good to be prepared just incase. Then you look like a champ when you come across the situation.
For the loose bottles and other small items, you can’t beat a milk crate.
Great upside down to set a Honda 2200 or Predator 2000 on at the campsite too. Eliminates sitting in the sand, dirt or mud. 6 gal.
They also make 'em in 4 gallon and 6 gallon configurations, so you don't have to put a 6 gallon one in if you don't need it.
It actually is possible to buy them, they're less than ten bucks apiece, and are available in multiple colors, not just in Shamrock Green. You could get one in bright orange if you want something that stands out a bit on the side of the road.
In an old work van I had shelving in the back, shelves were barely tall enough to get milk crates in and out. I ended up partly cutting out the sides so that I could reach-through for contents that were low in the crates. Worked well.
my dad worked for foster farms. we use milk crates for everything supplies stepladders tools etc
I usually use a homer or Napa bucket. ;) useful for melting snow too. Fill it with snow and set it on the intake.
It used to be hard to get them because they weren't making them for a long time but now people are realizing there is a demand for them. I'm starting to see them for sale at stores now. Like brand new production ones. Which is nice, the ones I have are old like almost all of them haha but yeah they are getting brittle.
"shackles...I've been using these for 40 years" ...Matt during nap time in his kindergarten class..."Sorry teacher, gotta go, someone called, they're stuck up on the ridge".
Clean living and fresh air has kept you looking quite young, Matt. Thanks for sharing.
Matt, everything you do is interesting to us. That may seem strange, but we are mostly armchair adventurers who wish we were living your life. You live and work in a great location and have a wonderful group of friends. Be yourself and do not worry about the very few who may not like what you do, or say. They can go and watch some other channel! Merry Christmas to you and all of your fellow CZcams stars!
Richard I started by being near offended by being called an armchair adventurer, and then realized it’s accurate lol. I love Matt’s videos and maybe you hit on why
Richard exactly!
OntarioRedneXXX . No offence intended. I figured out why I liked them so much, and just assumed that there were others like me!
I’m 90% armchair adventurer and 10% adventurer. That ratio will change as my student loans get paid off and I can afford to take more time off and my kids move out of the house.
@@Beandiptheredneck uh,,,I'm a hard core adventurer who also sometimes likes to stay warm and comfy in my armchair. I'm totally addicted to Matt's channel because he knows his stuff, is super cool and mellow, and I learn a lot about recovery.
Matt your presentations are perfect!! Thank you
Oh and you fellow watchers and followers are great too🙂
Hi Matt, I am from Yemen and based on our natural land in our home country I do understand the work you are doing with your Jeep. We do lots of unbelievable recoveries with way less equipment than what people usually use. Mostly rope or chain and that is it , no winch and no other equipment. The rope you are using is a brilliant idea and soft with 30% stretch to it is just ideal for the job. So really appreciate your work and the natural of the way you are doing it. Keep up the good work and I am a fan from Middle East, Yemen...
Marry Christmas to you , your crew and all your fans..
Sometimes those are the best / most fun recoveries....when you didn't think you could do it but you made it work! All the best from Canada
Query: Have you guys bought a rope or three to use?
Years ago a friend and I where asked to recover a guy stuck in the mud, he hook up the rope himself.
He hooked to his bumper, I told him “what ever you hook to it coming out, so hook to something that will bring the rest of the truck with it”. Need less to say we recovered the bumper first....Then the truck.
🤣😂🤣
Hi Matt, this is NOT a boring video!
Absolutely! Watching the how it's done is interesting, but the why it works is just as interesting!
Agreed, not boring at all!
So funny to hear you talk about not being sure about the soft shackles as they were new to you at this point. Could you imagine working without them now?? Ed is the man!
poor freya, didnt get a treat last time and now walked into a car
I hit the rewind button a few times to watch it, so funny that clumsy puppy
I watched it about ten times myself
15:40 Hey Freya...biff
Poor freya. I did laugh though. Freya just wanted to be in the video. LOL!
LOL didn't even notice when I watched it the first time.
Hey Matt. Video is not boring at all. Shocked to hear about all the negative comments regarding the yankum rope. I think many people don’t understand what the term kinetic means. It’s essentially a giant Bungee Cord.
You see people bungee jump off of bridges and towers all the time, and you don’t see their body ripped apart. They GENTLY reduce speed/velocity and come to a stop. Same applies here....we’ve just turned the bungee cord 90 degrees horizontally lol.
Sonnicman nice analogy
@@jonellwanger7258 Thanks Jon, Much appreciated!
15:40 the dog running into the car 😂
I re-watched that about 5 times lol
Boink
We could buy all the equipment you covered and hook vehicles in the locations you showed and we'd not be nearly as successful. I think most of your success is due to experience. Your ability to quickly recognize the terrain, the texture and viscosity of the material (snow, mud, sand, etc.) and "see" how the vehicle is stuck is the key. You can make a fairly quick decision because you've seen it before. Oh and... you do a much better job of explaining things than you give yourself credit for. Keep having fun! Merry Christmas!
I 💚 how every job is a new physics problem that they solve with experience & intuition
I have seen bow shackles fail, but I work in mining. And miners are good at finding limits of equipment.
imported shackles will fail, I only buy Crosby and they will stretch and never come apart again. I have an 1 1/2" shackle that is about a 1/2" longer than when it was new
@@jonschneck4559 yeah that is all the mine buys too. Chinese shackles or any non US made are forbidden.
@@jonschneck4559 I've seen some break that weren't imported. However, I was also recovering a Leopard II tank that had sunk to the belly and thrown a track, so there was a lot more force on it than anything most people will ever put on it (including most professional recovery companies or tow drivers).
Same. I've never seen one fail on a passenger car or truck. Tanks and military trucks are a different story lol
Only one I haven't seen fail the pin was over 3 inches in diameter and was probably 60 lbs..
I used it in my traveling beating on rod strings that I'd pull well over 50k lbs into and violently beat on.
Like miners oil rig hands are really good at finding how much it takes to break stuff. I've seen 7/8" braided cables snap and the 5/8" winch line it was hooked on to not break on a straight pull. I'm convicted with a little bit of fsu (f*ck sh*t up) mentality and horse power you can break damn near anything. Intentionally or unintentionally and usually it's pretty damn cool when you do, just as long as you're not standing next to it
You asked if this video would be boring, no, certainly not. Giving viewers this information is interesting to me, i think you should educate us more in the videos or do some videos just showing off hints and tips you have learned.
This is dead on! Right as he was saying that I was thinking to myself that this is why we love this channel. It goes back to what he said earlier about 4x4 channels. They're great, but they show videos about doing this kind of things with vehicles that are specifically designed for it. This channel fills that niche for the kind of people who just like helping out there neighbor in say a snow storm situation or helping out some random teenage kids who were just having some fun and maybe got in over their heads on a back road.
Thanks Matt . I'm my family's recovery team . Great info. I've learned alot from your videos and iv had a 4wd for 40+ years
You are saving people money by educating us so we don't cause damage on our own recoveries. Not boring. Thank you for sharing your tools of your trade.
Merry Christmas.... Different colored milk Crete or totes for your ropes and chains. Easy to load and unload.
Tommy Simmons exactly! Milk crates are the shit! I use them in my work van!
I'm an ex truck driver, tricks of the trade.
Yep every one will complain about something till there stuck and need to be recovered from mud / snow or whatever
As. Far as I can tell from your videos you are doing a very good job of getting these people and there car trucks or campers back on paved roads where they needed to stay in the first place as they have NO business out on the dirt trails
Merry Christmas
would work for the water bottles as well
Agreed or just multiple of the same. One with the chains one with the ropes one with the shackles etc. I couldn’t deal with everything just thrown in the back 😂
'The dogs are getting the treats, but Ed isn't... I love it! Merry Christmas Matt, Ed, family and friends. The views and the number of 'Thumbs Up' are proof that your videos are NOT 'Boring'. For those who don't understand the principle of a recovery rope (to transfer the energy of a vehicle's motion into the stuck vehicle as a controlled surge rather than a violent jolt), your mention that the unmodified XJ has survived thousands of pulls without damage, speaks for itself.
You said boring... not at all. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Laughed so hard when Freya walked into the car!
Good Dog
I have used a 3/4" dynamic (stretchy) nylon rope for years recovering rally cars in the Minnesota and Michigan woods. They have always worked about like your ropes and never any damage because of yanking. I have had quite a few terrible owner installed tow points come off, usually just as my recovery setup came tight. I co-wrote a recovery point rule with another worker that was published in the SCCA rule book for exactly 1 year after which the car driver/owners got together and had it removed. They did not understand that their tow points were crap, we heard from a lot of them saying they pulled their car onto their trailer just fine. Anyway from my point of view, you are right on target with your plan. I whine at the screen now and then over details but I would never argue with success. Great videos, maybe someday they will all understand.
Got a Winder Towing hoodie for an early Christmas present and have received many thumbs up while out and about here in Ft Collins, CO. Keep up the excellent work, and Merry Christmas.
Definitely not a boring video. It's very good and educational, not many people know where to hook on to these newer cars if they're not familiar with them. Good job man. 👍
I worked on cars most of my life and I'm just amazed at how many people insist on putting massive forces on the body of a vehicle. Doesn't matter towing/lifting/jacking up etc. it's unbelievable. When you point all these things out I'm like "Yup, yup, yup" lol. This is a great vid!
He's not a dumb guy with a truck. He seems to care a lot not to do more damage and get the job done. I hope most of the industry has guys like Matt.
Matt, you're right about the bolt shackles. I was a crane signalman in a Great Lakes shipyard. We used bolt shackles on incredibly heavy lifts. They do not fail - period. I've watched other channels that talk about recovery equipment and they warn against using shackles due to failure. I can't imagine failure unless there are some cheap Chinese made shackles out there. God, I hope there isn't.
I've done rigging as a stagehand and hung some serious loads using shackles. Loads that sit above stages and over the crowd where if it fails, someone is going to die. Huge blocks of speakers or truss loaded full of lights and scenery.
You can always go oversize for the lift and give yourself a big margin for safety and indeed, it's common practice to do so. I have never had a chain fail, a chain motor fail, a shackle or any wire rope. Granted, these are static loads but if you do it right, you will never have an incident.
People don't know about those ropes. They are very gentle on the vehicles using them. My buddy pulled me out with mine. He was in a stock 2019 jeep sahara and I was in a 2007 crewmax tundra with a 25' toy hauler loaded with a can-am x3 and quad. It was sand and I was dug kinda deep. He has never pulled anything out before and didn't have to much of an issue getting me out. You're right people should educate themselves before criticizing. BTW we used a soft shackle it has a 47,000 lbs break strength. It was good the whole time. I have used it several times.
That last part with Jon was funny. I didn't read the comments but as soon as it happened I knew you would hear about it.
Great video. Not boring at all! Very educational. Thank you!
Merry Christmas to everyone. Re:hooking methods and gear shown. I think people forget that this is a tow company. Heck, I have seen / heard tow truck damage cars simply hooking up to a car illegally parked in a city parking lot. So to recover a car/truck/RV deep down in a canyon stuck in mud, sand, or snow, there is going to be some potential for damage. Period. The fact that Matt has probably done a 10,000 recoveries and haven’t broke a thing yet, even if he breaks one tomorrow, the math still works out to 10,000 to 1.
You probably also aren’t seeing every part of the conversation Matt is having with the customer. If there is any chance of damage, whether from hooking point, or the way the vehicle is getting towed out, Matt is likely advising the customer, listen, this might crack, you might lose this plastic part, if you don’t keep the wheels straight, you will end up in the opposite ditch; oh look you are now in the opposite ditch. 😂
Anyway, I think most people who are keyboard warrioring his videos, don’t operate a tow truck and never recovered a stuck vehicle before.
Enjoyed the video so much that I watched it twice.
Boring? This is the most informative video of all of your great videos.
When I think of the sand and marsh burials in our north (Western Australia) of 30 - 40 years back, messing about using old tyres to soften the blow of chains pulling up tight, those new stretch ropes would have been a godsend.
Matt, you do great at explaining just the way you do. You are an awesome person the way you are and the fact that you took time to make a video like this speaks very highly of your character. Thank you for letting everyone into your life the way you do.
The only channel I pounce on the second I get a notification, Merry Christmas to the whole family and team.
I like the shovel, I have exactly the same one in my permanent carry-on gear. I’ve also got the same bow shackles, although I don’t carry the small ones. I tend to only do offroad recovery, and most of that is self recovery when I’ve bitten off a bit more than I can chew in my Land Cruiser 80 series (that was for Ed’s benefit).
I second all that you said Matt, about choosing a hook-up point on the strongest member you can find. You’ve proved it works, and I’ll bet you’ve never damaged a customer’s car in all the recoveries you’ve done.
Boring? Not a bit of it, I love this channel and wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year 2020.
Video not boring at all, thank you for the information
Thanks for choosing the Sonata as an example!
one of those videos i appreciated so much i watched all the ads.
Let me say that sarcastic message for you- Ive been doing this 40 years and I know what Im doing, I appreciate all you keyboard kowboys telling me what Im doing wrong but Im doing it my way. Hope everyone has a Merry Xmas!
For what it's worth Matt, I like all of what I've seen you doing here. Sure beats the snot outa using 30' of chain....
Crosby shackles don't break... Seen some contractors using foreign made shackles fail, generally at the most inopportune time for sure.
Again, Merry Christmas.
Good. This needed to be said
@@barrysimmons4724 I've seen a chinesium / fake shackle fail way under the limit on the side. Launched a small shot of chain past my head and took off my hard hat. We found three more in the shackle bucket. No idea who bought them or how they made it into the bucket. Due to the rigging failure, a ~ 15 ton package slammed onto a single bow shackle where it bounced up and down a bunch of times. It was in the air on that single point for almost thirty minutes in heavy seas before recovery for a re-rig was possible.
The only thing I see @Matt doing which I wouldn't do is rock without gloves. I'd probably have Maxiflex 34-874 or similar with me every time I stepped out of the vehicle. Condor or Atlas lobster fishing gloves if there's snow on the ground.
@@fshalor738 after that event our crane supervisor / Foreman told us to search all of our rigging, any shackles not marked Crosby cut with a torch and discard.
@@barrysimmons4724 the CCP will do anything to try to kill us Americans off one way or another.
Basically the point is if you have a lot of experience, then you can safely recovery vehicles in ways not recommended for casual drivers.
The issue is when people think they're more experienced than they are, but that's not the case with you obviously. Gotta say your driving skills is what I learn the most from watching your videos. You have such a great feel for the Jeep and how it's doing over the terrain
Not boring. One of the best. We all want to learn how to be bad ass.
Thanks for the Christmas Day video Matt.It made a great Christmas even better....
Merry Christmas Matt, ED and family and friends! I'm new here. Been watching for about a month. I am a 4x4 outback exploring enthusiast. And I appreciate all you do.
Thanks for taking the time to give a few pointers! Ever think of putting one of those wire headache racks behind the back seat of your vehicle in case there's a crash/hard breaking condition/roll over and all that recovery stuff goes flying towards you and your passengers? Something like they might have for K-9 unit or for dangerous person transport. You might be able to hang stuff on it too where it wouldn't cut down on your visibility for organization. Del Mar horse 2x4 panel might work on a budget. A ranch welder might sell you a piece on the cheap or give it to you once he finds out the service you do to the community. Search on Craigslist or use SearchTempest. I remember a guy at the UHaul store years ago was very adamant about me keeping the 2" hitch in the box because his friend had one rolling around in the back of his pickup truck and got into a crash. The ball hitch flew through the cab window and killed the driver. The survivor was messed up for life, seemed like a pull string doll that the only thing he could remember to say was "Keep it in the Box!" The only thing you didn't have was a SCUBA tank in the RARE event you get into an underwater/in the lake recovery situation and need to find a point underwater to hook onto. Might be nice to have a few breaths of Spare Air. Or call in a rescue diver.
Not boring at all. This is actually one of my favorite videos. Very educational.
Merry Christmas from a die hard jeep XJ owner.
Lil bit of Matt n Ed on Christmas morning with some coffee... perfect lol. Merry Christmas Guys keep up the awesome content
Not boring at all, once again I learned something I never knew I needed to learn. Always an education watching your videos!
I'm in love with that blue van
Merry Christmas
Not boring at all! Very enlightening ! What about the Pindle hook we see some times? I do understand the load distribution on the Yankum loop with the triple ball though. Sarcasm is OK ! You seem a bit shy to be yourself. I may not fully understand the kind of criticism you get but you should be allowed to take a shot once in a while. What the heck !? Love your videos ! Love to see the dogs run and run ! Ed is a hoot ! I’ll have to make a pilgrimage for a hat one of these days. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Pahrump, Nevada.
I love how he says ‘Is this going to be a boring video?’ Absolutely not, it has answered a lot of questions I had myself.
Not a "boring video" at all, very informative. Thank you.
Merry Christmas from the UK.🇬🇧
At a family gathering
Them: did you see the football game?
Me: no, sounds boring.
Me: I watch winder towing pull people out.
Them: sounds boring.
Me: whatever!
Matt, Thanks for giving us insight into how you assess a recovery. I've dug, and winched, and towed many vehicles, but listening to someone who does it all the time points out how much easier I could have gotten out of a no traction situation.
Not boring. Like the laid back attitude. You do you. I like it.
Thank you Matt!! I traveled to go see my daughter and grandkids in Monterey and I was wondering why are there so many people ordering the Omegamill Jeep bag on Christmas Day? So this happened on the way home. Dark and rainy I got confused about the roads and asked Siri. We soon found ourselves going on this horrible farm road full of potholes and standing water. I wasn’t driving the XJ but our Chevy Cruze. I was staring to wonder if I was going to have to call Matt or would the space aliens come and get us because if they did no one would know, not there. I finally saw lights from what I thought was Hwy 1 and used a map app to figure out where we were. Now I understand how people can find themselves in odd places, we did.
I was hoping you would do a video on how to recover a vehicle. I drive on the east coast beaches all the time and carry shovels and a standard strap. I have refused to help people with no tow points who are stuck in fear of damaging their vehicle. Or I make them hook their end. Great information and I clearly need some additional gear.
Man I wish manufacturers would be required to provide solid easy access recovery points. It would make life much easier for towing and recovery for sure. I work as an auto technician and have to drag cars around the lot from time to time so I understand your struggle. Vehicles are much stronger than most people realize. I totally agree with your "strong enough to get the job done and easy to get to" mantra. I lift vehicles all day every day with something similar but mine is "structurally sound and parallel to the ground" Structurally sound being the important part. For everyone else....Your best judgement is usually plenty good, just pay attention to material thickness and what it's attached to . Thick and solid is the goal, preferably steel
Thank you. I love it when you describe the details of the roads you travel. I was a young boy in Washington County when my father explored with me. Now I am older and I feel that youthful exuberant desire to explore in your every video.
My family: Merry Christmas
Me: Shhhh, i'm watching Matts off road recovery
Merry Christmas to the Winder Family!! Reading the comments - some of them crack me up!! 🤦♀️🤣 You’re great in front of the camera; let the sarcasm roll!! ❤️🐞
I'm glued to the screen, 3/4 through the video Matt looks at camera "is this going to be a boring video?" ..still watching :)
I would love to see more stuff like this, especially if they're kinda stream of consciousness about your reasoning given a given car. Having a series covering make/model/years would be outrageously invaluable even if you're just crawling under 'em like this. Appreciate you all!
poor dog at 15:40 walked into car.
SLAM BOY Haha. I noticed that too.
I came here to say that. Hilarious
Funny shit!
SLAM BOY yeah I was having a look before I was going to post the same thing. ‘Hey Freya’ and then the dog just walks right into that car
Get that dog a treat.
Also the amount of force to move the stuck car, is halved when you have the 2nd tow point. I have also learned the way the car went in to get stuck, is best most of the time for getting them unstuck.
Perhaps you are thinking of a pulley system halving the work load.
Not boring, always enjoyMatt teaching what he knows and loves
Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends. Thank you for the teaching I'm glad you took the time to show us.
Use milk crates to organize! And yes be you don’t hold back be sarcastic!
Merry Christmas 😂 at 15:40 when the dog runs into the bumper
Thank you for helping everyone understand a little more about tow points.
Yes Merry Christmas, Matt and crew
Gotta watch that windshield washer fluid around dogs, they get even a lick of some and they could pass away.
Merry Christmas!
Methanol is deadly. The washer fluid up here in Manitoba is rated -49 C
Ethylene Glycol- Coolant is the antifreeze that is most attractive to animals and deadly. Likely the sweetness that attracts them. Back in the bootlegging days methanol was noted for blinding those who drank too much of it.
Bill Silversides yep even with a bitterant added, engine coolant is deadly to pets. Bootleggers up here have sold methanol instead of ethanol to reserves. Blindness, kidney failure and death results
Matt, I've been waiting for this video a long time! Love the channel! Only one burning question wasn't answered: what grade is the chain-bridle? 70?
Thanks again! Your channel is the only one on CZcams that I watch each video within a day or two of posting. Merry Christmas!!!
Great question, my brother has wondered the same thing!
Or maybe grade 80?
I think most grade 70 bridles will be labeled as "not for recovery" but since Matt is using kinetic rope I'm sure that is substantially less stress on the bridle. Am I thinking right Matt?
Not boring at all. Very informative. Thanks
Thank you Matt!!! So informative for those of us with 4WD and NO clue how to recover ourselves or someone in need of help. They are not BORING!!!! So helpful. And all your dogs are adorable.
I started saying, "k" since watching this channel haha
All good. Just be mindful of all the heavy metal objects loosely in the back of the Jeep. If on the off chance something bad happens to you, such as a car crash or rollover, all those things could go flying or rolling around and can kill everyone inside, probably loved ones. I've seen that happen a few times and its not pretty. Putting up a cargo net or cage that you can still see out the back is easy. Or use storage boxes that you can strap or anchor down. Its worth the time and effort. Bad things can happen even to experienced people who think "it won't happen to me". Have a good day.
OMG Worry wart let the guy be ..how long has he been doing this you think your advice has any bearing on what he'll do
Erik Robles he wasn’t wrong.. a shackle coming from the back in a collision or rollover could be deadly and at the least cause injury.. it’s not being a worry wart it’s just trying to care
Joe Hanson I have a steel cage behind the back seat in my ford bronco, my 2 year old rides in he back seat occasionally and I’m taking no chances on something coming forward in a collision
@@erikrobles5727 I've seen a guy killed by the TV he had in the back of his SUV, young guy in his early 20s. I saw another guy killed by a trailer hitch he had sitting in the back. Just ask a firefighter about rollovers. A firefighter told me about a family of 5 all killed by the junk in the back in an suv that rolled down a hill. Please think even just a little before you open your mouth.
@@schmojo33 well I was told by a friend of a fire fighter whos cousin told him that his neighbors wanted to tell you to shut the F... Up worry wart!!! LoL how I crack my self up!!!
A great Christmas present from Matt and the crew! Thanks!
A video on Christmas!!! Best Christmas present ever.
You should sell the kinetic energy straps the amount you show them off
He has a link in the description. Possibly an affiliate link. But that is fine by me.
I prefer a Winch to for recovery (I do a lot of heavy Semi trucks recovery, and offroad recovery of tractors and farm vehicles as my daily work job) . But People are diffrent. So if you like it your way, do It :) Nice video By the way :)
Would a jeep have enough weight to winch a vehicle
@@bryanmartin3794 We got a landcruiser 75series at my work for smaller vehicles/vans/trucks. And a UNIMAN/UNIMOG for the heavy recovery. the weight on those are around 10 tons(metric) or 22000lb
If u have a 5000lb jeep winching a 5000lb truck stuck in sand wouldn't u drag the jeep to the truck??
@@bryanmartin3794 It doesn't need 5000lb to pull it free with a winch.
Yes it can pull the jeep forward. It is easy to bury the tires on the Jeep or use a second one as an anchor. I've winched out quite a few full size trucks from the sand with my Jeep with no problems.
Not boring at all. Very educational. Great channel man..
Excellent video! The reason I watch you is to learn better ways to recover my stuck 4X4, or someone else I come across who is stuck. Thank you.
How to solve the problem of "things just rolling around" (at least water bottles and the like)? Two words: milk crate.
Steve
Merry xmas
You're a very diplomatic man. Your also very good at what you do.
Great video, Matt! Thanks for walking us through your work
My impression: The keyboard commandos with the strongest opinions, have the least experience!
"Is it going to be a boaring video?" - No Matt, it is not at all boaring. It is exciting instead.
Boar = wild pig. Certainly no pigs here.
I love the soft shackles since they are one piece. I’ve lost the screw in piece to the bow shackles but that are less expensive.
Thank you Matt, every educational, it is nice to see the safe and effective recovery locations you use, I personally have been paying attention in the videos trying to glean this very information, while not a recovery expert like you I live in Canada and often have to help people (many of which are in newer cars) get unstuck. Cheers and thanks for sharing with us!
5:45 Ed is bored by the burden of this knowledge. Merry Christmas Winder Towing & Family
Did Yankum give you the ropes for free to advertise for them or did you buy them?
@@dallasray3223 Or at least some sort of discount.
Thanks for making this video, and including the recovery point on vehicles in your videos. You make recovery look so easy!
Merry Christmas from North Dakota
Thanks Matt. Extremely informative. I came across you channel because I was trying to learn more about recovering vehicles after I purchased a 4x4. Wanted to learn how to do it safely. Now I know what gear to buy, and can’t stop watching your channel. Not boring at all.
Merry Christmas you guys are awesome!! And Matt you shouldn't be afraid of using a little sarcasm!! It would make it a lot easier for you making these videos... always easier to be yourself.. and I'd the snowflakes cant handle it .. well who cares lol ..
why don't you carry a jack ? what if can't get under the car. your truck does not have any hydraulics that a tow truck has.
german shepard maybe use a factory jack just enough to get a hook on something, I think he damaged cars he always had a flatbed waiting with full equipment where the asphalt starts
Jacks for Cherokees are usually under the back seat. The factory ones anyway.
its under the passenger side of the back seat
