And loaded semis and bobcat loaders and just about anything that can get stuck. Matt does a great job with that mini truck.

[@QatarSandMan]

Im very impressed with your recoveries, they all look pretty difficult. I like that you detail how you rig the lines to get the mechanical advantage to be able to do it with a jeep.

[@OffRoadRecoveryLLC]

That’s was all part of the business model We need a small vehicle to access these areas And mechanical advantage to get the job done By doing this we can keep the cost reasonable While big wrecker companies hate me because we ruin the market because they need to bring in an excavator to build a road and hire a certified diver for this and have a $15,000 bill And wonder why they can’t get the jobs and I’m stealing them all 🤷‍♂️

[@hitekredneck109]

Lol....."stealing", meanwhile you're just able to use "minimal" equipment logically as opposed to using an entire tool box full of tools to loosen one bolt. Not gonna lie, I'm a big fan of your channel....🇨🇦🇨🇦 's watchin!!

​@offroadrecoveryFL Hey I appreciate what you do. As I run 1150 rotator and can move about anything. I cost a lot of money. I'm big into rigging properly and never working the equipt too hard. It just makes everything safer and saves breakdowns. I see so many guys using rip and Tear method and end up damaging either customer equipt or even their own. Work smarter not harder.

You ever been out to the Black Hole in Cocoa? It’s in Canaveral Groves. They’ve got some holes that’ll swallow your truck hole so I suggest going on a day when there’s not much water. Also a lot of sugar sand to get in which is annoying as hell. I lived in Orlando most my life and we used to mud out in what is now known as Lake Nona and Wyndham Lakes. Just no littering please.

Ya can see clearly how physically exhausting it was just dragging allllllll that line thru the swamp. Plus it gets heavier being wet, plus pulling thru the snatchblock resistance. Every time, I watch these swamp/water rescues.... I can't help but cringe thinking what kinda critters are slithering or lying in wait in those waters!

Been watching recover videos for a few years now. I just came crossed yours like a week ago. Got to say I’m kinda like the difference you seems to be a hole different experience. I think what you all have in common is knowing your terrain. When you grow up in it definitely helps.

[@chrisfenner5949]

Qell Matt. Ive always told you that you look the best when youre doung what you do. Youve proved to many people that you dont always need a huge recovery truck. You can move mountains with propper rigging. Yourd definitely in a very diversified matket down there in Florida. You run into the most different varieties of recoveries than just about anywhere else in the country. And you do these with a little truck equipped properly and using the knowledge of power with multiplacation of lines. Youve pulled out 80 semis to bobcats to mud buggies. Just about anything that can and will get stuck. Great job again. Keep up the good work.

[@imchris5000]

if you use a short piece of rope to make a prusik hitch you can quickly set your pull point at any part of your extension ropes it makes for quick advancement when you have to winch hard very long distances learned it from some tree guys

Knowing the best way of rigging and pulling is something u cant learn in a class room or out of a book. Its a definete skillset learned from expirience. I suspect you are or hv been a wrecker/rollback recovery guy. And probubly a 4x4 guy for many years. Which is cool as hell. Also easy to see u obviously know the exact gear it takes to get the job done all by yourself. People dont realize just how much work it involves in gtg every bit of equipment drug out, using it, and gathering it all up and cleaning/stowing it away for the next call.

[@imchris5000]

you need some rope bags to store your ropes it makes handling them easier. if you stuff them into the bag the correct way they pull out without ever tangling even after the bag has been tossed around for months without being used. it makes handling hundreds of feet of rope a breeze. a 5 gallon bag will hold 150ft of 5/8th rope

[@peterparsons7141]

I know what you NEED, a pair of lightweight chest waders. Hip waders also work well, especially the better quality steel toed, roll down type. I guess I’m more familiar with colder, rocky working conditions. It’s easy to twist an ankle, or cut shins /calf’s on unseen snags. I’ve worked with a few guys who have a similar confidence and knowledge in tough spots, and it makes things less stressful and makes work enjoyable. We know unpredictable stuff happens , as long as nobody gets hurt and the job gets done everything is gonna be alright. Wish you much success in your future endeavours!

[@kenwillis8487]

When I lived down there most of the buggy owners I knew ran basic junkyard big block ford or chevy or Chrysler out of motorhomes that had been scrapped! I asked one time why they didn’t have them all souped up with go fast parts, buddy said that those who do only do so once unless they got bottomless pockets! Like this owner found out you swamp the engine and rides over till you get to high enough ground and if your lucky pull the plugs and drain the oil crank it over to empty water from cylinders and put fresh oil and filter dry plugs and your back in business just don’t forget to change oil again and filter after a lil runtime! Pro tip use cheap oil and filter while your making sure the water is all out and then use good stuff!

What a recovery! Unlike most commentors, I understand that I might be wrong but I know you lost power with that much rope out but it seems the stretch of the rope and the kinetic rope almost helped surge that swamp buggy out of the rut it was in. It came out with great force and ease at the same time. Just an observation though likely wrong somewhere.

[@OffRoadRecoveryLLC]

Yes the rope we used wasn’t a standard winch rope It had about a 10% stretch at peak load where a dyneema winch rope is about 1% So once it hit the threshold where it started to move the stretch slung it out
