Jefe digging with his hand and the hole immediately filling back in with sand was a perfect representation of the problem

[@volvo09]

That's some powdery deep sand!

[@wesman7837]

@volvo09 Yeah, that deep, fine, and dry sand will suck you in!

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

I've had to dig holes for powerline poles in that crap. You have to put a steel casing down and dig inside it or you'll eventually have a 10 ft wide crater that's only a couple of feet deep. I absolutely hate dry sand

[@umad42]

Absolutely, that dry deep sand is just a nightmare to move through

[@shaunsmith4772]

Rhett is a very growen up young man. Smart, thoughtful, and serious at the right moments. I enjoy watching him in the videos and how he has handled himself over time. Amazing crew and family.

[@MurCurieux]

Well said!

[@bigbeardtrader9740]

He's a beast at the wheel already too!!

[@UberLummox]

Mini Matt! Yeah I'm impressed. Though I can't figure out if he's really young or just really short.

[@humpday2267]

Yes Rhett is a good young man

[@tae1451]

I think they've said he was 15

[@chrisneedhamc3]

Loved the way Matt asked Rhett what his thoughts were on how to solve the situation, despite probably knowing the best option himself the whole time. Good leaders allow people opportunities to succeed and even to fail, but in that event, to learn why. These guys are simply great people.

[@steventrojanowski3595]

Yeah they’re great people, dude it’s always better to get a fresh perspective or any other ideas… recovery is always worth thinking about all options and going with whatever is the safest and most economically viable and fastest.. a blend of the three

[@AFloridaSon]

He's also quick to put people in the driver seat, and show them how to get out of certain situations.

[@ChrisLaprise-p8n]

So true!

[@peterad1529]

His kids pretty sharp 👍

[@IthacaDon]

And he is a good Dad. ❤

[@SteveDrees]

Tom's subtle sense of humor is perfect.

[@floorpizza8074]

Rhett figuring out the four wheel drive problem is what allowed them to get it out with a lot less hassle. The owners probably would've gotten it out just fine if they would've figured out the four wheel drive issue; they just needed a Rhett to figure it out for them! And Matt allowing Rhett to figure it out himself just shows what a great Dad/teacher he is.

[@mikemathis3936]

I think that the owners had a hundred pound weight disadvantage on Rhett too

[@CarswithNash]

The owners were also getting baked by the sun, as somebody who has been stuck in sand on a very hot day, I can tell you good thinking and logic, go out the window really quickly…🤷‍♂️

[@coopercovelo]

Also, the evening may have brought a bit of moisture to the sand, and improved traction. I suspect if they went to get it at 5 in the morning, it would have been better traction.

[@salamandercalamander8921]

So did Matt ever tell the customer about the 4WD problem with their UTV? Seems like something the owner should know about before he gets himself stuck again.

[@peterjford]

@@salamandercalamander8921 If Matt didn't tell them, they know now. At least I hope they are watching this.

[@nickolascunningham8039]

I love hearing that Jeep roar and spit trying to get out, sounds so mean!

[@drc3471]

Good job Rhett! Just say "we'll get them out, we learned from the best! If we need to adjust stuff, we will, just like my dad does."

[@TheSecretOfNem]

LOL! "Oh man.. you're in so much trouble!" as the decent starts.

[@bripslag]

Rhett is becoming a recovery rock star. Granted, he's probably done more wheeling in his life than a lot of 60 year olds, but he exhibits a lot of skill and maturity for a kid his age.

[@OldGlaseye-gf7si]

I watch a few other 'recovery' channels and it's pretty obvious why Matt has such a healthy following. Funny, knowledgable, empathetic, never rude at all. Great crew. Too often some 'other' channels are rude, condescending..and don't really GAS if they tear up a customer's car or..a rental...Bravo Matt and crew

[@luvonondlazi4172]

Yeah Matt is very patient... Other channels sometimes you can the rudeness and frustration😊

[@MrStaybrown]

I stopped watching other channels for their derogatory comments and vulgar language, I keep to Matt, Rory, Paul Cox.

[@TheAgingAscetic]

Casey is also part of that group for me. I know he has refused service for a few things in the past but they were for specific articulable reasons that he stated in his videos. Otherwise he is very patient and calm with people who acknowledge their ignorance.

[@miscellaneous037]

It is difficult to be a hands on problem solver like Matt and to allow your less experienced team members to think through problems and solutions. I love how Matt asked Rhett what he thought. This is how you grow the team to be exponentially better. Nice job as always, MORR team!

[@JohnnyD1993]

@@TheAgingAscetic Eh, Casey is a weasel. Don't like him.

[@natenation9684]

Thanks guys for getting The General out. Those guys are mine. You saved the day! Appreciate you!

[@APTW42]

Pressure down, lock hubs and launch it! Love it, Matt knows his home territory better than almost anyone else, helps a lot…

Positive attitudes in a tough situation is a sign of strength. Good work men.

You guys are having way too much fun 👍🏼 I’m old with a Honda talon Been to the Sandunes I understand what you’re going through. enjoy your show I watch it as I sit in my recliner in my air-conditioned house 😀

[@easycamperdandog]

Loved to see that chute again, been awhile. I wondered why the long absence. When Tom asked if Matt could promise he would come back I instantly remembered Gandalf answer to Bilbo's same question, "No, and if you do come back you won't be the same". Thanks for another great adventure

[@Finx5008]

They have plenty of light for night recoveries. They just don't have enough light to shoot professional video of night recoveries.

15:55 The way Matt always stays so positive.. he knows what his equipment can do

[@VoxVirtus86]

Haha, I like the start of the folk song about Matt. He is definitely the kind of guy that is so legendary that his city would have a song about him. You could definitely feel the frustration from Matt when the Banana didn't make it up the first try. All mechanical sympathy out the window at that point.

[@cslapler007]

This is the perfect narrative. Intro, background info, characters (both people and vehicles), problem, climax, resolution. What a nail biter and so entertaining! And very good job getting out of there.

[@timvanasen9822]

Rhett is definitely following in his dad's footsteps at 15 years old he's already set to thrive at whatever he decide's to do, good genes in this wonderful family, great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😎👍

[@anthonylee2099]

I remember the Chute from pass video. It was a Bear getting out. Rhett had grown up Sooooo much. Love him on the recovery. He figured out the 4,wheel drive issue and got it out! Great recovery! 🤙😎

That one looked like fun!! Kudos to Rhett for figuring out the 4wd. He saved you guys a lot of work!!

[@jamesbigham9036]

Matt I was impressed because without your experience there would be no way you could of got that out of there. Rhett really impressed me his driving skills and believing he could drive out of there.

[@jeffcombs8237]

Good answer on the signs. Scout on foot before you commit. Great recovery. SKILLS and DRIVING

[@DeafRVTraveler]

I am impressed with the Banana that handled a lot better than before the upgrades just to simply air down the tires. Matt and his team knew what exactly needs to be built to get the job done. Building your own is always better than buying a vehicle right off the lot. Rhett has grown so much than I could remember he was small. I love the fact he figures things out with the 4x4 and communicating with the team. He has been definitely raised well. I would love to see more Rhett on Matt’s recovery team! Well done!!

[@shawnkane7152]

Matt, you have a fantastic crew and a very knowledgeable son in Rett! Nice to see you getting advice from and directly the guys. Always professional!

Rhett gets a huge “Attaboy” he’s wise beyond his years! Not sure what his life plans are but looks like he can handle the off road towing business! Well done Matt, Tom, Jefe and Rhett!

[@redneckdave1968]

Matt always finds a way to get the job done. Matt made a good point about the tires being bald. I had a 1984 Ramcharger that had bald tires and I was able to pull people out of the soft sand when I lived in Arizona. There was a sandy area next to a Carl's Jr that people thought was a good place to park. I would try to warn them that it's not a good place to go but they wouldn't listen.I was charging $50 to get them out. I was making some good money. I would hang out there after work around dinner time when it was busy.

[@61rampy65]

Rhett continues to impress! He seems more of a natural than Kaulin. Speaking of Kaulin, I hope his leg recovery is going well. I hope to see much MORR of Rhett helping his dad, and eventually, go out on his own rescues!

[@duder9752]

Seems more of a natural? Hope would you know? Maybe he's the next Ivan Stewart and just hates being on camera.

[@alexbrown4820]

For the past couple years I've considered Matt's channel the best tv show ever made.

[@stevanrose7439]

You guys are troopers getting those stuck atvs out of the sand. One time back in the 70s I got my jeep stuck in the sand down by the river and I was there all day it took an old willies with a winch to finely pull me out. Well here it is now 2023 and I can say I have never been stuck like that sense.

[@chicnwing4519]

Get a big fat set of paddle tires with multi bolt pattern for these side by side recoveries, seems it would be easier to change tires than kill your equipment

[@kimetherington2252]

For a minute, I didn't think you were going to make it! I should have no doubt that Matt's gonna get out! Rett has some pretty good teachers! He'll be a big asset the older he gets! He's learned so much already! Til next time,take care, and we'll see you on the next...

[@daveneil3963]

Dropping air pressure both in sand and snow makes a big difference! My Toyota pickup had 33X12,50X15 on 5.5 or 6 inch wide wheels and I could go down to 2lbs. with out breaking a bead, and got out of a lot of places. I had a TRD in the rear and open in the front. BUT, I'm not sure I would try that hill. I knew you guys would make it out some how! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@martylawson1638]

Made myself an AWD dirt-bike years ago and I've run as low as 4psi in DOT trials tires in sand. Really stays on top and lets you crawl out. "almost flat" tires are a game changer in sand.

[@rsvp6]

Funny, have been reading the comment and all of the gear people think you could add to the banana. If you had all of that stuff you would need the heavy wrecker just to tow it around.

[@frilime1710]

I started watching this channel because it was a no BS channel, about someone who knows how to do his job and did it in an entertaining way. But lately cant help the feeling that the (sometimes) artificial drama takes up more time then the recovery itself. I might becoming old and grumpy (not unlikely) but prefer to watch people do things and not people talking about what they will or should be doing.

[@zokushatech]

Its dissapointing to see the clickbait-ey titles too, videos called like “MAJOR design flaw with the banana!” and in the video its them like doing some simple repairs on the axle or whatever. I guess you gotta keep it interesting to get views on here but yeah i see a little bit of the genuine-ness wearing off

[@mikemathis3936]

You gotta love watching Rhett nature as a driver on difficult recoveries He done good and he stayed calm. Again.

[@thomaskolbe-sweden]

Airing down really low is definitely a game changer ... A couple of months ago we where driving around in a sandpit, and was at our normal wheeling airpressure, 13 psi (no beadlocks) and we just coudn't get up this specific sand dune. After severel attempts we aired down to 6 psi and drove right up 😀

[@jamani1086]

Rhett is awesome!! way to go dude!!

[@jgep3723]

Tire pressure makes a huge difference on sand. I'm headed to the dunes tomorrow, 6-8 psi is the sweet spot for mine.

[@leifvejby8023]

We used to air the tractors down to 5 - 6 when ploughing in wet autumns. Ok, most autumns are wet, but some were worse!

[@paytonruss55]

Yea I was saying after the 1st try to drop the tyre pressure down to 6 psi while watching. We have similar sand hills like that here in my country in my hometown and thats what we have to do to get out. Its easier when its raining. Great job guys.

[@rodez3106]

exactly my thought!

[@donbeary6394]

Man, what a great teacher you are Matt, letting Rhett figure it out, and how great a job that Rhette does while doing it! ..

Looks like the SxS popping out of 4wd could have been a factor in getting stuck to start with.

Indeed, a general should be able to handle that easy peasy in 4wd and with lockers engaged.

[@SPIDERMURPHY-np8bj]

Sand can be tricky especially when it's deep and dry. We have a few places in South Texas than are a real challenge. Also having to drive a vehicle that you are not familiar with is a challenge in itself. Rhett did a good job on manipulating the buggy through the sand once he figured out the machine was not staying in 4x4. Good job on all parts -----
