The Reason Jeeps Aren’t Good At Recovery

[@utahruralliving7831]

Beaver Dam, Arizona was named after a beaver dam that a traveler discovered while resting at a nearby creek in 1863. When the first wagon road was established through the area in 1847, they found many beaver dams that were holding back water on the wash. No more beavers, no more water.

Yesterday August 15th was a "the best day" for me as a former tow truck operator and recovery person (novice at best) My wonderful wife took me to visit tour and purchase some very much desired merch from a place I didn't think I would ever get to visit I am a huge fan of Matt's off-road recovery you tube channel have been for quite some time and now I can say I have been there. Thanks for the tour and being who you are. I didn't get to see you or meet you but Matt you are a great man and do great things for many people never change never stop and always be you thank you

[@allentisthammer4763]

Pretty cool. I made it out a couple of years back with my oldest son. Quickly got to meet Kaulin as he was headed out to the Easter Jeep Safari, where Matt was at. I was given a quick tour of the Wrecker frame and got a Lizzy lime green ball cap and Ed stickers. My son was 40 yrs old at the time and was laughing at me saying I was as giddy as a schoolgirl. Still have a smile from this experience so I can sure relate to yours. Take care.

We got to visit in July, and lucked out - we met both Matt and Kolby. Highly recommend a visit, my kids and I loved it.

I wish my vacation didn't get cut short. I definitely planned on going, but the kids school registration was Tuesday so we didn't get to leave until Tuesday night instead of Saturday morning. Pikes peak has been on my bucket list for ages so that took priority sadly. I did get to go to maverick and get some victory pies though so that will have to do.

There used to be beaver dams about every quarter-mile on every stream in Utah and everywhere else west of the Rockies. Now we've realized they're important parts of the ecosystem and people are getting them back on the landscape. Slows stream flow speeds, retains water in the watershed, increases summer flow rates, creates habitat for trout and other fishies.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Beaver dams get dug out here immediately. They cause flooding.

[@dzzope]

​@@kittty2005 Or not build on flood plains.. 😂 Beavers are massively important as OP said.. part of the cause of the lowering of the water table is the lack of beavers holding the water in wetlands. Really massive help vs wildfires too.

​@@kittty2005 beavers don't build dams in dry washes. You ever see one carrying a canteen? They only dam living streams.

[@crashbox7130]

We've been reintroducing the Eurasian beaver over here in the UK in the last decade or two, to help mitigate flooding downstream and improve biodiversity. Beaver were wiped out in the British Isles in the 16th century, so it's good to see them back... and thriving. The population is currently sitting at around 1000 across the country.

The Saturn Vue hybrid is a pretty rare vehicle these days, especially in such good shape that one is in. The plastic body panels keep the rust away, but they still get very beat up. The last three years of Saturn operating got the Hybrid available, so the youngest possible is a 2010 model. It had nickel hydride battery back that gave it a 20% boost that got the highway mileage close to 45 at times. Nice little SUV. That one seemed to be the 2WD model. Tow points are more than a little rough to find. Nice job.

[@etiennebimier273]

At 10:28 you want to avoid hooking up to this part of the front frame, I did it on my sprinter the exact same way when I was stuck in the snow, I ended up completely sheering the metal on like 2 inches, I used a recovery rope but still did some damage.. At first it seems to be a good spot to attach from but once you put the vehicle on a lift you can tell it's absolutely not. Easily fixable tho. Lesson learned, I fixed it, reinforced it and added recovery points on it. For context, the back end was sitting on the frame and axle, I was parked on the edge of a boat ramp covered in snow and couldn't tell there was a ditch on the side, it was full of snow, I couldn't back up and going forward was not an option, the lake was frozen but with more snow than I could go through in 2wd. Anyway, great job, I've been watching for years, I've learned a lot about off-road driving thanks to the Morr team. Thanks for the amazing content !

The beaver used to be all over the west. A keystone species for the landscape, they got removed before the buffalo even due to the beaver fur hat craze hundreds of years back. And landowners disagreeing with some of the beavers proposed changes. The land holds much less water now since the beaver and buffalo were all but removed. I eat bison instead of plain cow beef whenever I can just to help get more of them back on the land. Encouraging the market is the only viable way now. Their hoof prints help grassland species and they graze different than cows. The talk of beavers and buffalo and their benefits for the land, and how tricky it would be to get them back on the land is too long for a comment. America is still beautiful. For all of our progress, which i fully appreciate, I wish I could see the west 400 years ago.

Another awesome video!! The first recovery with the truck was what you get with "bull dust" LOL Thats like driving in talcum powder for sure! It can be like mud but without the water. LOL its always a good start to the day when i get to watch one of your videos!!!

[@williamfowler616]

my old cj7 never had a problem snatching people out of a mudhole, had to stop when the rear frame piece had to replaced from so many people being pulled out, either you can drive or you pretend like you can drive.

"Are you silly. I'm still gonna send it!" - I liked you guys before, but now I LOVE YOU!

[@El_Jefe_Zamora]

Those black wheels on the Banana look amazing.

[@phylodogschannel9144]

Could you guys possibly cut the sides out of a large inner-tube and wrap it around the new tires to provide better traction in the sand? I don't know if it would be possible or if it would stay in place once on there but it might be worth a shot. If it works just have them manufactured for it and call them Matt's Sand Slippers!

Here in SoCal we have that same silt. I've years of motorcycle experience in that silt. Due to arthritis I've had to transition from 2 wheels to 4x4. I've learned from MORR to stay away from sand and silt even if I have 35s. Watching the van rescue and how Matt keeps talk about bald is better for sand. Is there a tire wrap like chains that would change the tire grip?

[@lisacastano1064]

Tire socks maybe?

[@fhgaylor]

Another Wednesday recovery. You all work hard and have fun doing it.

[@defiant9809]

With that Camper Van I woulda Of thought once you could have gotten it close enough to solid Footing you would have or should have just winched it out. Do you guys carry any tire chalk blocks? To help with anchor points. When you do winch?

[@gtaap0c]

@defiant9809 problem with a wench in the sand is it's a slow pull best way to get out of sand is to get pulled up on top and maintain momentum which you can't do with a wench without risking damage to the wench and/ or rigs and people so Kentic rope or recovery straps are most ideal

[@57WillysCJ]

Telling dad not to run over the rope. 🤣🤣

[@mickanonim3860]

The part in the silt reminded me to change my air filter on my Gladddy lol, thanks for the motivation!

[@marvindebot3264]

That first one gives you an idea of what Aussie bulldust is like only bull dust is worst, it's the finest soil on earth, up there with Arizona road dust (which is used to clean out jet turbines after operation in salt air) and (without exaggeration) there can be a couple of hundred miles of it between you and the next closest human.

When the editor loves to record, you may have a problem. Jk, I know that he loves to get out of the office. I would too. A good boss knows when work is important. Matt is a great boss.

[@mahbriggs]

The camera guys are always the most physically fit of the bunch!

[@georgesheffield1580]

Do you ever use any sand mats to float the tires on in the soft sand or in muddy sand ?

[@georgesheffield1580]

Versions of the tracks on the

[@wtfChris73]

With the right conditions. The Banana does struggle. Good job getting it out.

[@ethansprofile6670]

Starting to see dents in the banana. I used to have a 94 Cherokee Sport 5 speed, always went in the snow. Drove it for 14 years, jeeps have good wieght didtribution and always go.

[@chrismcconnell4336]

Surprised Peanut let you out the yard when a river trip was mentioned!

[@Casualplayer]

Man ever since I visted sand hollow this week, I recognize stuff now in the videos. Peaks and areas in sand hollow. BEST SWIMMING EVER

[@TylerReynolds.Legend]

From what ive learned watching Matt and the crew, the Chevy needs more ground clearance and bigger tires with less "tread". Do some burn outs bud.... For the sprinter van, it's too heavy, low ground clearance, probably has highway tires and all around needs a driver that knows the limits of their skill and the machine theyre operating. IT (not they) just doesn't belong here. For the Saturn, same thing as the sprinter van. DEFINITELY NOT A BEACH BUGGY
