You can hear the pride in Matt’s voice when he talks about Colin’s driving in the deep snow. Well done all.

[@4scoren744]

Seems like a really good kid. Hope he gets more screen time.

[@anthonypeterkon989]

There ain't no better feeling then making the old man proud

[@rdf6852]

Good kids come from good parents. Matts confidence in his boys means he did his most important job of all. Being a good dad. The boys are smart, they will always remember what dad taught them. It is up to them to utilize that knowlege. It appears, they do a very good job as well. Nice work team!

[@danb.709]

So then does anyone know why Rudy isn't on the show anymore? He's Matt's son too I'm pretty sure.

[@Lowkeytoker]

@@danb.709 he started his own Channel. Go check it out. I’m glad to see him doing his own thing

[@DigitalJeremy]

I pulled a family from Brazil out of the ditch (conditions just like the white Dodge Ram in this vid) here in Alberta just a couple of days ago with a kinetic rope and a soft shackle wrapped around the front lower A-arm because the vehicle had no recovery points. I've learned a lot from this channel, and they were very happy :)

Rhett always comes up with good ideas. It's cool to see that Matt is a good dad who listens to his kids even if they are young.

[@stevesims2243]

One of my favorite memories is Coming back from Grandma's after Christmas at age 10. Weather wasn't very accurate in 1961. We hit a blizzard, and the local farmers with their tractors were helping people through the low spot in the road where the drifting was worst. Made it to the next town, and spent the night in the only hotel's lobby with about 100 other travelers. Got in trouble playing on the elevator.

[@Harpo.jr70]

Matt is a guy that has the knowledge and personality that people in a bad situation need . When they think it's one of there worst days ever.

Lol.....driving in snowstorms was fun for us as teenagers....and on ice. Now that I'm half a century old, lol it's still fun......and so is riding my dirt bike on the ice with studded tires.....rrrrr.....I'll never grow up lol

[@sixupsprite5501]

Calmness has always been important in driving. I'd bet the majority of snow/ice related accidents are caused by overcorrecting/reacting. I'll also say that a lot of these newer cars with some of their safety features can actually be very dangerous in the snow/ice. Like my Corolla's desire to randomly apply the brakes because it thinks I'm too close to a semi in the right lane. You can't let the cars drive themselves in the snow, the snow needs a hooman.

[@dorvinion]

@@jjw6342 Calmness, and confidence are important but so too is discretion. Recognizing when you are better off just parking and waiting out the storm.

[@roymorgan7748]

Tom's freezing, Matt's topping up his tan and the boys are chilling, what more could ya want.

[@spdergod]

Great seeing Matt in a regular tow truck for once, and he did a stellar job with it. Should show this more often.

[@regnepinak9864]

It is so nice to see young people enjoy the season, like Rhett enjoying the beauty of winter when it is snowing and foggy with very little visibility and Kaulin's skill at pulling a vehicle downhill in those conditions. All because of Matt being a good teacher.

[@tjtobin86]

As someone who only ever has to deal with getting people out of snowy ditches, this one hit home. For those that don't know, it is VERY tough to know when the road ends and the ditch starts and once you get your tires in the ditch, it usually sucks you in. The average driver tries to get themselves out at that point and it typically sucks you in more til you are just like these guys were.

[@RenaxTM91]

Yea these conditions are tough, normal cars and trucks on normal tires doesn't really stand a chance, I wouldn't even try in my van without the snow chains on and even then I probably would have issues...

[@mrwilson7617]

Just stay home. Unless you're a heart surgeon or a plow driver.

[@bboness713]

For sure, I am to always find folks in need of rescue in colorado when it snows. All the visitors and immigrants think their Honda accord can handle 8 inches of snow.

[@retro440]

Gravity always wins. Once you slide off of the road crown into the snowy ditch, it's over. Gravity will suck you in, deeper and deeper. This from a country-living Minnesotan who knows of that which he speaks!!

[@denisewilson-prince2071]

I could tell you stories about Postal Delivery People. Must deliver in snow, sleet, rain, and hail. That's BS. SAFETY FIRST.

[@renderingrocks]

We just visited Matts shop (we are from PA) last week. The crew was out with the banana on a recovery but Shannon was super nice and let us see all the rigs including the nugget. After visiting the area, I never realized how far they travel to do these rescues. We were on top of Zion in the snow and you can easily spot the people who never drove in snow. Thanks again for the hospitality and we sure enjoy your channel.

[@hgj2019]

You are right! When I was a little over 50 I moved to the white (snowy!) mountains of AZ having lived my whole life until then in the southeast. I was very impressed by driving distances. I became accustomed to driving over 3 hours to Phoenix for a couple hours of shopping. I’ve driven 5 hours to north NM for a few hours of fishing, then back 5hours to get home. Long day! It is just a matter of what you get accustomed to,but long drives are fairly common out west. We only very rarely drive those distances in the east unless there is serious business to tend to.

[@gaylengurr3911]

@@hgj2019 grew up in the mountains of southern Utah. why does no one ever use chains?

[@rogermccaslin5963]

@@hgj2019 Growing up in South Florida, almost everything you could ever need was available nearby. 15-20 minutes was a long drive. A few years ago, my wife and I went to the Grand Canyon and surrounding area. We circumnavigated the canyon in 10 days. I planned the trip such that each place we stayed was about about 2 to 3 hours of driving. It is a bit of a culture shock how far apart towns are out there compared to here. In South Florida, the east coast is pretty much a ribbon of pavement and unbroken towns and cities for about 140 miles from Miami to Vero Beach, then it thins out a bit. You probably can't drive an hour in Florida without going through a town of some sort. Out west, it seems that an hour is just getting the car warmed up.

[@hgj2019]

Roger, I lived about three hours from the south rim of GC,which is one of my favorite places. The AZ county I lived in covers an area of almost ten thousand square miles and is over 300 miles from northern to southern ends. It takes over 6 hours to drive one way, north to south, in constantly changing scenery. The south end of the county is in what is claimed to be the largest ponderosa pine forrest in the world (part of which goes over to the GC). The north end is high desert around monument valley. Diversity on any of a number of scales that staggers one’s imagination. Great memories.

[@hgj2019]

@@gaylengurr3911 they do in some places. Colorado has a “traction law” that mandates them in some areas. I owned them but only really NEEDED them once, and they were not in the truck. In eastern AZ the snow tends to come and go pretty quickly, only lingering in the forests and at fairly high elevation. I lived there several years with only a 2wd vehicle which served me adequately. Only bought a 4wd to get into places that were a little more remote, and even then it was a “stock” 4x4 with no lockers, and I often ran street tires year round.

[@MrMagooo]

I'm really impressed how much trust you put in your boys to take on a significant amount of responsibility! Gives them the confidance they need to get out on their own.

I like how the editor(s) take the time to find and insert relative old footage to help illustrate the job they are on. I also like that they gave us the note about the people from St George that aren’t used to snow; I wouldn’t have any idea what that comment would have meant otherwise.

[@bobknull7502]

I love how in the beginning Matt says that Tom Tom is the grownup. Then at the end, in mid sentence he goes..." Oh look, a snow plow."

[@sorinankitt]

Canadian here watching you describe your winter experiences. Thanks for the entertainment ☺️. Oh, and that car you said should turn around and go back. You're probably right because they most likely don't have winter tires. Up here in the Great White North, 85% of sedans like that have winter tires so we see them everywhere in the winter.

[@AM-db9mx]

The whole reason I started watching this channel was to learn recovery techniques because when I'm out in the mountains in my truck I don't have a winch on my truck so I carry come alongs and Jack's, shovels, chainsaw ropes, cables. I always enjoy seeing new moves and methods that I did not know about trying previously.

[@jash1]

I'm in North Alabama and we rarely get snow. In 2019 we had a pretty decent snow storm and I pulled out several people. Five in one night from the same spot. They were all trying to make it up a small hill, but made the mistake most people do of not carrying enough speed. I turned them around using the trick I've seen Matt do of setting the parking brake, hooking to the front and letting the vehicle pivot. It worked fantastic and the drivers were all amazed. After a quick snow driving lesson, which was basically plan out your route with as few hills as possible, use the momentum speed gives you, and slow down way sooner than normal I sent them on their way. All but one tried to pay me, but I wouldn't take it. Since then even though I hate snow I kinda hope for it so that I can get out and use the skills I learn watching Matt and crew and help people.

10:58 good lesson for those not familiar with the snow. I used to teach snowshoe and cross country ski prep courses, and would always ask the students to bring in what they thought they should be wearing ... all were well, well over dressed. If you're about to start something physical in the snow, you need to start off cold (painfully cold, depending on what you're doing, and for how long), or you're going to over heat, start to sweat, and things are going to get bad really fast.

I went snowshoeing for the first time a few years ago. It was about -11F. The trail looked like a yard sale behind me, and I'm very familiar with winter sports. I DEFINITELY underestimated the effort of snowshoeing above 6,000 feet. I shed layers before I got too sweaty, but my hair and beard froze to my balaclava. I wish I'd read your post BEFORE I tried snowshoeing. Very practical advice.

Collin is an excellent driver ! He’s getting super comfortable on camera reminds me a lot of Rudy when he was on the channel everyday ! Your kids are very well spoken a true testament of your parenting Matt kudos to you on a side note Matt a shorter rope will really help in the snow to get it out the ditch faster and easier !

[@nathanphillips9645]

the guy in the blue truck was probably flying down that road

[@milomiller909]

A fantastic recovery guys. God bless you all.

[@zekesmith9638]

im a finish carpenter and we have the same first aid kit....yeah....i noticed....be careful guys and please say a prayer for my mom...she suffored a stroke this week....thanks for you and what you do!!!!!!!!!!!

[@miniaturemachinist6098]

It's a good thing that nobody was coming from the other direction when that blue truck slid off the road. Hopefully he will learn to slow down before he ends up killing/hurting somebody.

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

Colin is an excellent driver in the snow.... getting some damn good experience.....man and machine...

[@zekesmith9638]

you taught your kids well matt....great job EVERYBODY!!!!!

[@redstorm7414]

Hello, I discovered you 2 weeks ago ..... and I watch you every day from France. I am very pleasantly surprised by your calm and your advice. You often have a smile on your face. Moreover, you have nice dogs and you show that you love them and that they return it to you. See you soon for more adventures.

[@ariebossley2509]

That was impressive use of a deck truck recovering that Ford. The experience shows Matt, nice work!!

[@oliverohnemus5791]

The other problem with diesel pu’s in slick conditions is the weight balance is all wrong, all the weight is on the front axle, if you have one put at least 1500 to 2000 lbs in the bed behind the rear axle and they’ll do much better

[@BaliAgha]

"This thing's absolutely helpless" 18:28 - Welcome to having a pickup in the snow. They are indeed helpless.

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

All the boys are naturals. They seem to be good drivers as soon as they get in the seat and know what to do when they get there. Matt's whole family are awesome and great at recovery work whenever needed and even enjoy doing it.

[@carlmackeigan4328]

from a long time fan I get the rock joke!

[@Owens_Racing]

The current crew, kid’s included is doing some great work together. Matt wish you all a fantastic 2023. Edit: Heavy diesels are great in snow until they aren’t. Then that 8k+lbs is freaking anchor. LoL (posted before Matt discussed tq application and agree 100% with him on that.

[@tylerthehiker]

14:51 the look on his face and nervous laugh 😂 I’ve been there 🤣

[@karoylcooper8006]

Great the way you teach your sons....and HOW THEY LISTEN! You are a model father with was some model sons! SO NICE TO SEE! So many parents that don’t realize their imprint on their children, no matter what their age! Thank you Matt, just for the values you represent!!

[@bigredc222]

It's great that they want to learn, so many times kids don't want to follow in their father's footsteps. All my friends are motor heads and so many of their kids have no desire to work with tools, even as a hobby.

[@sharonnicholson3393]

LOL only the OG subscribers Will remember the Time mat moved a rock and had to go back and put it back 🤣

[@deckum23]

As a Michigander the thought of touching my brakes or slowing down while passing oncoming traffic has never crossed my mind, but then again, I learned from my dad and can feel the tire contact on each corner through the seat.

[@jerryfrasier8839]

I used to live in Anchorage and drove cab for a living. If you start to slide take your feet off the pedals usually the car will straighten up. We had an huge ice storm one November right before Thanksgiving and me in my rear wheel drive crown vic taxi, I did 189 miles that night. I had people with 4x4's calling me to take them up to the hillside on the mountain in my rear wheel drive crown vic. I think I went up there 4 times, I called it riding the slip-n-slide. Then the next day I learned that the car owner had waived the leases for the cars to keep drivers from driving that night. It has to be bad, bad, bad, bad before a car owner would waive leases for weather in Alaska. and I drove and made good money that night.

[@donnachristen5881]

I’m missing Trevor, but I’m really liking Tom! He might be new but he caught on fast!

[@harryinhuahin1272]

I agree about Trevor...

[@johnhpalmer6098]

Tom is not totally new, he's been there before on occasion so is somewhat familiar with events they shoot in.

[@richardthomas1743]

He says "I just caught the shoulder , loose gravel" That and thinking that his drivers license is Pilots license to fly on the gravel roads.

[@nazuddin6346]

Respect to you For helping others Stay safe and take Care Guys Best wishes from London

[@golfaddict5276]

I think the "honks" on the snowy road was to tell you to turn around and go back! 🙂 I can't believe the type of tires some people try to run in the snow. Great video.

[@ronjones-6977]

99 times out of 100 it's not the tires, it's the air pressure. Most decent 4x4 tires WILL do the job, but you need to let a ton of air out. In snow like this I'd run somewhere between 10-15psi.

[@FitChaser]

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made. Really enjoy having Collin and Rhett on the team. It’s cool to see how you have and continue to share your knowledge with them! They are impressive young men 👏🏼

[@delboy9679]

Really missing Trevor! Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone!!

[@griz063]

I love watching the competency and confidence of the young guys grow. It's going to be SO much more useful to them in life than an indoctrination classroom, on the streets of some toxic big city or sitting around playing video games; and the boys just flourish under Matt's tutelage. It's great that Rhett is thinking things out and is confident enough to contribute ideas. This is really "the proper edu-ma-cation" of the boys-to-men on his team. The mix of stellar personality and real-world experience are going to make them men to be reckoned with in the World.

[@bigsurkate8349]

I have come to love watching this and seeing all the predicaments drivers can get into and watching Matt problem solve quickly to get them out of the mess they got themselves into.

[@bernieshort6311]

You always seem to make the right decisions matt and having a good team for sure helps. Nice recoveries guys, stay safe and arrive home with yourselves and vehicles intact.

[@worldwide_wes]

“I just caught the shoulder, loose gravel.” Nah you missed the loose gravel you caught a boulder and a tree lmao 😂

[@krags.allander2465]

Hey Matt I watch your channel regularly and I just want to thank you for showing ushow you do your work. I got in a bit of a mess helping my son wench a car on a trailer. Thanks to what I learned on your channel we got it done.

[@sorinankitt]

You should have a front bumper plow attachment (snow blade) for winter recovery so you can clear the space and make things much easier, and less stress on the vehicles.

[@FeralPreacher]

All that cloud dandruff and freezing weather sure is pretty, especially when I can watch it from my warm North Texas home. Years ago I was in that kind of conditions and don't miss it at all. Glad you had great success and thanks for sharing.
