Sometimes you strike gold on this channel.....and there is some right here. Thanks. I only found you recently but I have become addicted to at least 3 vids a day.........as long as they are under 16 or so minutes. You live in a truly amazing place and situation on this wonderful planet. Thank you.

Both tricks help enormously. Back in the days the VW beetle was legendary on snow with it's rear engine and narrow tires. Using the "parking brake diff lock" trick made it even better in Winter.

[@williambranham6249]

Just a question. I drove a 63 VW back in the day to college. I had few problems with snow or ice. I don't understand the parking brake trick. Can you explain what's going on with that? Thanks.

[@1969landcruiser]

On a snowy day back in High School I got bogged down going up those dunes from the back side (Matt's mentioned the back side a few times) in my Toyota 4X4 pickup (1985) and a vw beetle with six boys packed in flew past me laughing at us as they zipped around us and all over the dunes. On the way back where the road turns from sand to clay we got our revenge they got stuck and we laughed at them as we zipped by. We stopped and all of us literally picked up the beetle and carried it to harder ground

[@bernardhossmoto]

@@williambranham6249 My dad still has his 63 (6V electrics!). The parking brake slows down the spinning wheel tricking the differential to send more torque to the other wheel with more traction.

[@wwdiesel]

Driving in very loose sand is an art and lots of people do not know how to properly do it. Matt makes it look easy! Learned how in an old VW buggy with separate brake levers for each rear brake, long before lockers and such. Them old brake levers got me out of many a jam.

Hi Matt. Thanks for the link to the reference video. That video shows a 'Dubai' license plate. Dubai is part of the 'United Arab Emirates'. (i.e. the 'UAE') The UAE is a small country adjacent to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, the UAE and Saudi Arabia currently have a rather hostile relationship. So, the person in that video may not be keen to be labeled as a 'Saudi'

[@Buck1954]

Good trick on the parking brake. An old timer told me that setting the parking brake 2-3 clicks on older vehicles caused both sides of a two wheel drive axle to engage simultaneously. [p.s. I've found that lifting weights hold down the floor very well.]

[@blikkiesblignaut6999]

After 27 years of sand driving, you showed me a new trick, with the steering wheel. Never to old to learn. Going to try it asap. Old school deflating, 150 sec with thumbnail.

[@cole33333333]

Those tricks my dad taught me when I was 11 learning to drive his 1953 Willys Jeep. When I was in high school. I tried turning the wheels to get out of the snow. Blow the power steering hose in my 1972 Jeep Wagoneer. It's still funny 30 years later.

It was RHD and available with a 2.5 diesel as well as a 2.5 petrol (I think) and 4.0 petrol (quite a few were converted to lpg as well as petrol), I thought we got them with an lsd rear diff.

Also, super jealous of all you guys out west.

[@lawlessmeatball]

Flawless. You're a different breed Matt.

[@jbbling]

One of the best aspects of your videos is that you don't repeat video footage (except for a short, dramatic intro). I can't stand reality shows like Highway Through Hell, or even Myth Busters anymore because they take about 10-15 minutes of video and replay short clips over and over and over to stretch out a program to 44 minutes. I enjoy your format where you show a quick highlight and then tell the story in chronological order, with a recap at the end. That seems honest and refreshing to me. Matt's portrayed patience is admirable, too. Please keep posting new videos! I see that you've just surpassed 70K subscribers at the time of this comment. For improvements, I'd suggest trying to boost volume on the talking parts and reducing music volume. Also, even though the travel sections are sped up, I still skip through them. I mostly look for your interactions with customers, crew, and the people at the Sand Hollow entrance booth, plus the actual extraction, and, of course, Lady and Max. Your equipment reviews and driving tips are really interesting, too. Another KZbin channel said people should never attach two tow straps with a metal bow hook because if a strap snaps, the metal hook becomes a dangerous projectile. Do you feel that spongy ropes prevent that danger? Thanks for making great KZbin content that actually helps people in the Southern Utah desert!
