Virgin Utah Mud vs Chevy Silverado 4x4

[@chriswills9530]

I think the driver did pretty well there. Very difficult to maintain tension and distance on a short rope when Matt is slowing and speeding up because of the conditions. Matt's skill and patience and good equipment shine through once again.

[@glenhayhoe]

I agree especially with the kinetic ropes and the energy they store

[@LJT7907]

A very delicate balance of enough speed to not slide and get stuck again and keep tension on the rope. I don''t imagine its easy.. Too all the keyboard experts out there I would love to see them do it better in those circumstances.

Guy don't need all that fuss about his driving skills while being towed in the mud. He didn't run over the rope and didn't hit the tow vehicle. He made a mistake or two. Being towed is a whole new experience for a lot of people but, if you ain't been towed in the mud on a short rope where you are slipping, sliding and the tow vehicle is doing the same you ain't lived yet. It is a new world. Looked like a bunch of nice kids out learning and doing. Their mud driving skills will be a little better after this trip.

That's right! I've been stuck several times as long as you learn something from it you're good. That's when you learn about the driver mod and the vehicle mod to help with not getting stuck so often.

I live here in Utah I got a call from a buddy that his friend in a jeep was up in the bountiful mountains stuck in the snow. I went up to help and my buddy with his Silverado hit the trial 10 minutes after I did to try and help this guy in the jeep aswell. I drive a 2002 Land Rover Discovery I'm stock right now with ALT. 30's and there were a few times where the snow was grabbing me so I was worried about my buddy because he only had street tires. (Keep in mind the snow is about 3ft deep on the trial and the banks were about 4ft) Anyways time goes by and I free the jeep from the snow bank and noticed my buddy hadn't arrived. I figured he had gotten stuck so on my way down with the jeep I see him in his truck off in a snow bank. We got to work on his truck. I pulled it out and he ended up sliding to the other side of the road in another snow bank. The people in the jeep were returning the favor by helping but some of them had curfew so we decided to leave the truck follow the jeep down and get more shovels/supplies at my friends grandparents house which wasnt far We headed back up with more supplies and a friend from school in his little Nissan saw me so he decided to follow me up and ended getting stuck which was so dumb of him but we got him unstuck 40 minutes later by pushing and using carpet as traction pads because I had nowhere to hook the tow-strap. Now it was time to get my friends Silverado up until we came across a Ford f-150 and Ford explorer stuck in the snow. I pulled both of them out and then got my friends truck. This took about 5hrs in the freezing cold from 5-10 at night. That was the coldest night for us by far I was only wearing Van's, pants, hoodie and a beanie. None of us had snow gear. Since then I have put boots gloves and extra hoodies in my LR. Fast forward about a month and I ended up on the same trial pulling out a 2019 Toyota 4runner. Gotta love it.

If you have a guy jump on the center of the rope, or stomp on it with one foot so he doesn't fall as another guy is pulling on the pin it should relieve enough tension for the pin to slide out. I'll try it tomorrow on the jobsite, I'll hook my truck to the excavator bucket and put tension on the rope then I'll see if I can get the pin out. I've got a 7/8 x 30 Rugged Ridge rope Amazon special in my truck.

@@bongoyongo6519 Is "Rugged Ridge" a snatch recovery rope? Specifically, is it meant to stretch a lot? The recovery ropes such as Matt uses claim to stretch up to 30%. With that much elasticity, if Matt had, say, 1000 pounds of tension (& corresponding stretch), I don't see how someone stomping on the rope would relieve the tension.

[@donhappel9928]

MaxTrax and the like are almost useless in mud or snow. Being hard plastic they're very slick in those conditions and you can't get any grip. You end up just spinning tires and melting the little nubs off of them. They were originally designed with sand in mind and work OK there but that's about it. You'll notice no real wheelers carry them, mostly it's nooby "overlanders" who carry them who don't actually have much off-road experience and think a fire road is 'wheeling'. Yes, years ago I bought a set (4) to carry on one of my Rovers. I also have friends with them. We've all pretty much come to the conclusion that a winch or kinetic strap like Matt uses are 100% more effective. Traction boards are pretty much my last choice these days. And I don't even carry them on my more serious trucks as they're completely useless in the places I wheel them.

[@jeffmcdonald101]

@@donhappel9928 They are pretty useful in Australia where we have a lot of sand. Most people carry them on our sand islands and beaches. Sharp beach sand is quite different to desert "dust".

Howdy Matt. Having watched all your video's and read a great many of the comments can I suggest a pinned dialogue for each video that goes something like this? My tires are always aired down because 90% of my recoveries are in sand. Deep lug mudders get stuck trucks more stuck in sand. A winch, (not wench) is a weight penalty most of the time for my recoveries. Most people stuck in the mud in the video's got caught by rain. Anybody can get stuck. I've been stuck. Mistakes are the mother of retained learning, innovative thinking and experience etc. Tow balls should never be used with a chain or inflexible strap. Yankum ropes release huge amounts of stored energy gradually and allow the banana to recover rigs many times heavier.

Yep, that adobe mud is some *serious* snot! It's really heavy and sticky AF on your tires and fenderwells, just like glue, and about as slick as trying to drive on grease on top of ice! Lol!... It's because it has a lot of clay in it... I know about this type of mud from personal experience, as I live in New Mexico, and all 4 of the USA's "4-corners" states; New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, all have some of this type of mud in most/many places in the state. I used to live on a ranch in SW, NM, almost 50 miles out of town along a dirt road that was made up of this type of mud for a majority of it, along with extremely sandy arroyo/dry river beds for alot of the rest of it, along with many really rough rocky patches... Needless to say, it was an exciting drive each and every time you went to town for anything, and it was pretty much a requirement to have a four wheel drive truck to drive in and out, and one *never* went in or out during very bad, wet weather, for obvious reasons!... The good thing about that life experience during my younger years was that I learned a lot during that time about how to drive on roads like this, and what to do in emergency situations when no-one else is around to help you!... I still use many of those driving tactics nowadays when the weather gets really bad, even though now I live in the Albuquerque area instead.

@B Dean I think your on the wrong channel my friend!!! I know this deals with a lot of mud but you really don't need to sling it here. Thanks

[@Fred705]

Excelente! Parabéns pelo trabalho! From Brazil!

Why did they all have shovels too? Don’t drink the koolaid Matt!!!

@7:02 Matt's mathematical solutions are put to the test. And once again Matt does yet another Super recovery. How does he calculate all these impossible angles? To this day, this is the secret of Matt's success. Clone Matt and you will revolutionize the towing Industry.

[@WeAllHaveOurOwnRoadToWalk]

That was some great driving!

[@ChuckHickl]

As someone stated in another video regarding his treatment of trailers, his transmissions deserve medals as well! He absolutely beats on them...

[@MrGSXSIR]

Seems like one of the most positive groups I’ve seen.. Besides the dude from Kentucky with the Range Rover lmao

[@dirtybird4976]

That recovery gear! Top notch. That was a hard tank out there. Pedal was down

[@ddddsd20]

I guess he didn’t hear the part about keeping tension on the rope, and not to overrun it.

[@justinammons4189]

And he was the best driver they had. Sad

[@franksmith8210]

You jump in that truck and try it and I’m sure you wouldn’t do much better. No need to sit and criticize him for nothing, he was obviously trying his best and didn’t cause any problems.

[@streetsurfer420]

@@Juupiter8 lol, let me guess, your comment was too profane? I mean this is a family oriented channel. What do you expect? And yeah, python is just another armchair warrior. We just need to try ang ignore people like this. Doesn't help when 40 people already have liked the comment.

[@SpaceExplorer4430]

Dude it's way harder when your actually in the situation and driving the truck.

[@ddddsd20]

streetsurfer420 I’ve been in that situation, and the guy I was trying to help almost ran into my truck. Not an armchair warrior, but I’m not thin skinned either, your comments don’t bother me, and I would be glad to help you out in the same situation, just stay off the rope.

[@fewfriesshort5593]

Love your videos. I do love how everyone is excited and having fun and then there’s Matt “get in the car.” 🤣😂

[@MWestern-m4g]

Your getting into ZZ Top beard territory there Matt!

[@TrevorDennis100]

Another month or so and well have... Matt, 'When you get traction, slow down, because I don't want you running over my beard'. 🧔

That one reminded me of my childhood Mississippi mud mashnin' along the bayou roads in my grandpappy's '62 F100 awd (when it worked).

[@melondog82]

"SO......we gotta notification to let us know they's a new upload"

[@mikemiller4169]

That was some gooey mud. I think I will pack a few plastic bags in case I get into some mud. I was a little upset that this was a mud rescue, I like seeing the dogs be dogs. Great recovery as always.

[@theninja001]

It looked like some weird cult when you first pulled up, everyone in matching Frogg Toggs!

[@Storm-Chaser]

That ol' red clay is something else, turns just about every kind of tire there is into a racing slick.

[@JustMe-fs2yh]

Jeep to the rescue 💗 naturally Better tow that Chevy back to town that paved road looks wet

[@Tr1pMind]

Gotta love that belt slip 5:10. Once you get it you got it.

[@paco7131]

I think he cleaned his hands with the dog

[@Youtubecensoredmyusername]

Wet dog hands is worse than dirty hands but it did look like that. I say they would be dirtier after touching a wet pooch that’s been running around in the mud

[@jonamadatsu2918]

2:38 oooh look at those awesome racing slicks

[@HDvids101]

They looked like the Coronavirus clean team

[@Dex99SS]

In the past few days I found your channel, got hooked on the vids, watched nearly all of em... and even bought SnowRunner on PC just so I could do some "off roading", even if only in virtual form. Doing so with some GM products in the game as is now, but I do believe there are Jeeps of some sort in there, likely wranglers and older... but, I'll be making a banana for sure. - do wish I had some friends to play with though... single player is good, can have multiple trucks of any sort that you get your hands on.. but you have to drive em all around. But the thing is, the game is essentially this. You get varying tasks to do, bring this there, that here, etc... but the game is more or less the trips. Mud, hills, crossings, snow, forest, swamp, jungle... all of it. And its all about tying up, winching out, pulling one another.. locking diffs, upgrading parts, using what you have effectively to the extent of being a sim really. . . so there ya go... maybe reach out and get sponsored by em! Get a tie in with DLC to match your own fleet of trucks. Honestly, each one would fit in perfectly.

[@peterellams7877]

Matt: "It's counter intuitive..." Kid: Wait, what am I counting?

[@jw3299]

thanks for uploading these videos, they are soothing and relaxing

[@marcofemto9417]

I don't get it... Does the Banana just hover over the ground?? How come he doesn't get stuck and goes over where his clients got stuck all the time??

[@deltavee2]

Look at the freepin' rubber he's got on it! Patagonias.

[@marksloat1608]

Your simple directions of what you want from the towed vehicles driver is spot on- with a tone of very low expectations! Lol good video. I hate mud!
