Do Tire Chains Work In Sand?

The first job was a Ram ProMaster van That almost made it to the Sand Cove Campground near Babylon arch before it became bogged down in the sand.
We were able to hook up to it, and pull it out without too much trouble, and get them on their way.
The next job was a Yamaha Wolverine side-by-side that was stuck in some deep sand at Sand Hollow State Park.
I was able to drive the wolverine out of the situation while Ed drove the jeep.
Soon enough, And after I let some air out of the tires, they were on their way.
Thanks for watching, shirts hats and hoodies are available here. Stickers coming soon.

Matt, I appreciate how you treat people with respect and not judging them. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, that is a huge part of what makes this channel great. No condescending comments in the video towards the people who need help. Matt is a class act. Kind and humble.

Not even remotely correct imo. These guys where out of their comfort zone, and that was great. And they where shown that this far out was maybe a bit too far, which is also good.

[@gregdavies109]

I mean, when Ed is commenting that he doesn’t know why they’re out there - it says something 😂 But also true, good for them getting out there and living life in the beautiful country we live in! And like Matt said, the sand was about as bad as it gets that day, so I’m sure some spunky 21 year old got stuck that afternoon as well. It evens out! Lmao

[@elginnelson7934]

I love how Max is your co-pilot. His face just melts my heart whenever he is in the videos. Lady also is adorable, but there is something extra cute about Max. I think it is partly his white muzzle and his senior status. Generally, I love how you always make time for all the doggos, yours and other peoples.

Hahaha! I love the creativity of putting the chains on. Might as well try it, right? Gotta respect people who really go all out to get themselves unstuck.

I'm old (79) and I like to get out there and have fun. That's how we old people stay young. I see a lot of "young" people out there getting stuck and making mistakes. I've been off roading for over 15 years now and I dread the day when I can't anymore. When I saw that they were on the "older side" I was thinking good for them! And Jersey Joseph I just hope that when you get up in age you will be out there too. Smile, enjoy life and have fun and be safe.

Especially when most people's dogs are almost like wild animals who happen to live in their house with them, and they have no control or authority over them.

[@odc43054]

Please don't listen to the complainers. Just do what you're doing. It's what makes your videos unique and fun to watch. Oh yeah, and don't let anyone know the first rule of driving in sand is to let some air out of your tires! It would take away half your business. :-)

[@williamj.barnhartjr.3108]

Great video Matt. Don't let these people asking these stupid questions and others that are always complaining about sound or lighting get to you I look at it this way your not shooting on a set their will be wind noise and your not in Hollywood because if you was I wouldn't be watching you I quit watching actors I only watch real people now. God Bless you and your family. Besafe.

[@keyoke69]

This right here. I think you do amazing with just an iPhone. Im not expecting a Hollywood production. Its the content that brings me to your channel, not the polish.

I'm hooked to Matt. I think I have seen all the posted videos . So sometimes I repeat some episodes. I love when Matt says: "We got a call"... ha ha ha. Also like the music when forwarding. God bless you Matt and Ed... and family.

[@GreekYoda]

* Many of us who watch massive amounts of these videos but are far from you, might like to know: 1.) where are you in the videos, Park name, state, near major city? 2.) What is the name of that body of water? 3.) A video on what to do if WE get stuck 4.) You’ve mentioned no cell reception, then what do you recommend? 5.) What instrument should we use for GPS coordinates. 4.) Air up and down of tires, when and why? Do you send people on the freeway with 8 lbs of pressure? Huge fan of the channel.

[@Mean_Bean279]

Matt, I hope you don’t let the video/audio people get to you too much. Part of the “charm” of your videos is that they aren’t over produced. Your videos are exactly what they show, a family man, who loves his dogs and has a neat job!

[@ebels3]

That van guy can four wheel, I'll give him that.

[@samduvall7797]

Awesome to see you're investing more into your channel. However one thing I appreciate about your videos is the authenticity. You're not some TruTv towing show with an entourage. Keep it real Matt! Thanks for the genuine entertainment!

[@theoverlanderutv2747]

Glad you're fixing problems and working at making the best content possible. But dont worry about the old footage. It's all great! I have only once been a little bit bothered by wind noise, and I've watched most of your videos already. Just keep pumping these great vids out. I'm addicted haha

[@bencampbell6488]

I like Matt because he treats people with kindness and respect, even his employees when they make mistakes or clients with rocks in their head

[@kenwelch198]

One good thing about the area we ride in. There's plenty of other people that travel the same trails to one of the 5 mud holes. If you get stuck, there's almost always someone else to come along and help get you out.

[@ChrisWilliams-pu8pj]

Matt, Thank you for your refreshing videos. Don't go too high tech. Keep it real. I-Phone videos are just fine with me! One other thought that has been bothering me. Have you considered installing a "crash screen" in the back windows of your Cherokee? I see you using those pull ropes under great stress and am concerned if one of those tow hooks break you are going to have a missile coming at your rear window. Keep up the great work! You are my #1 rated KZbin channel!

[@williamfaulkner1959]

Chris Williams, Matt addressed this issue in at least one video and said because there is not that much tension applied using the kinetic rope that there isn't any danger of that happening. Hope this helps.

[@austinsomeone]

I just discovered your channel today! Man, what a find. Keep up the good work! Your videos make me miss the road trip i took through Colorado and into Utah during the summer of 2018.

[@torreVs]

In Europe they can be equipped with a 4x4 traction system even with rear differential locking, dangel.com Ram Promaster, Citroen Jumper, Peugeot Boxer and Fiat Ducato, same vehicle

[@dubious6718]

Front wheel drive with fast snow chains... Would be better with just rear wheel drive, but everyone should buy 4wheel drive 99% of the year I drive with rear wheel drive, but that 1% I need 4wheel its nice to have or you get stuff like in this videos

[@Timmothy2012]

They can and should be heavily modded first though

[@Chemtech2010]

@@Timmothy2012 in europe some VW camper vans came/come with a "syncro" option which is basically a normal part time 4wd. Approach and departure angles are not to bad on those. Fitting decent AT tires and bringing along a 12v compressor so you can air down is enough for most overlanding. If you need to heavily mod the van you're better of driving a camper converted 4wd :)
