Recoveries And Ghost Hunting

[@DonAshcraft]

Rock art and anthropology was one of my areas of study in school. One thing I discovered was if you make a fire at night about 30 to 40 ft away from a cliff face, stand near the fire but between the fire and the cliff face, the light from the fire will cast your shadow long and lean up on the cliff face. You can even move your arms and almost completely mimic the pictographs on the rock face. Ancient people likely traced the shadows and could very easily think they were otherworldly in some form of fashion. It's really a cool thing! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@phatbastard2026]

Are U sure your study wasn't Rocket science?

[@xeontis]

Thank you for that knowledge

[@JimmyJohnson-t6n]

No we didn't....there depiction of events or a story

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Tracings of a shadow done as you have described would be difficult at best, owing to the large and moving light source. As romantic as this concept sounds I feel such an idea should be investigated. Did you read a paper on this or perhaps guide me to a source of this theory? Thanks Don.

[@DRTLYFE]

That's bad ass I camp a lot and know how shadow cast on wall but never put two and two together thank you greatly appreciated awesome knowledge

[@DuxQwqmeup]

Running over your camera is just "performance testing." Now you can glue a sticker on it to affirm it is "Trail Rated." Thanks to all your crew!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Rory , Mike and everyone for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and great recoveries !

[@NorrisAnderson-hn4xn]

Only Mike would think of looking in the darkmess for Daphne of Scooby-Doo.

[@wesman7837]

I thought the red head was Velma?

[@Steelegotcha]

The giant of Moab actually "concerned" about something like that is rather entertaining. He literally lives life on the edge. Glad y'all got out and had a little fun.

[@jsjs6751]

Mike is cool. And he's good at recording.

[@PK15306]

Heater on and windows down.👍👍

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

Rory congrats 259K. You look very happy ! Thanks for you're content💚❣️

[@morgansword]

I'm with you on ghosts Rory. Not needing any more issues in life at seventy five.

[@tlrfun3]

Absolutely love Rory's description of the settlers being very American as they built the town on Sacred Ground 😂😂

[@dougalexander7204]

Well done, as always and it’s good to respect the things we don’t understand. Their energy is still floating around the rocks and ruins.

[@graememckay9972]

The boys reading the headstone while Jamie is screaming for her life was funny. They didn't even bat an eyelid. Never thought Rory would've been scared of ghosts or aliens. Watching Mike spot the lady up that little obstacle shows how easy you all make crawling look. She shouldn't have been there on her own if she wasn't confident.

[@llyodreeves4657]

Keep up with the good work love watching your videos on KZbin God bless

[@xfactor5876]

Mike gets bonus points for the Damsel in Distress rescue.

[@cameronblackwell2499]

Very attractive damsel

[@davidjb3671]

​@@cameronblackwell2499Absolutely! I think in similar circumstances I'd definitely be on her trail 😉

[@wesallen4228]

Nice cool multiple recoveries.

[@rickwatson1000]

Great work guys . Mike gets the best jobs

[@Myhandle306]

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

[@Dogman580]

Mike - Do the rock peckers fly south for the winter ? 🤣

[@TGSamantha091]

Silly, they hibernate.. sheesh common knowledge LOL

[@davedyck3982]

😂

[@robertr4193]

Hope every one enjoyed their trip and had fun.

[@dannydavis2046]

I’m pretty sure if you remove the shell from an armadillo, it just gets really pissed off.

[@TassyDeval]

And cold

[@kenmurray4232]

Nice work guys. I hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving. Good recoveries & repairs mixed with good times with friends. Nice job editing Justin. Thanks for sharing

[@UncleManuel]

I did watch the video. It indeed contains recoveries and ghosts. And some mooning. 😁😁🤘🤘

[@wiresmith2398]

I'm here for Todd, Todd's the man.

[@ToddAdams1234]

THANKS!

[@rob5529]

Thats a great place to go visit during the day. That car is a 1950 plymouth.

[@MarkDettling]

Wishing I had a (highly accurate mirror measurer). 😂 Thanks Mike

[@jimderrick846]

Great work everyone. Have a great weekend

[@boboda7]

Good morning Trailmater Crew from Maui, I’m trying to be the first to comment, keep up the awesome content and have a nice day

[@stephenpoe2037]

Great collage of videos ! thanks for sharing !

[@HuntersNeverDie]

Nice burl @ the first recovery on that pinion I always wondered if Mike And Shawn think they have the best job in America

[@SODITGarage]

That was a fortunate bit of editing.... seems you and Mike were both dealing with the 'golden crack' 😇😉🤣

[@joelwarthen1135]

Armadillo = Possum on the half shell = armor plated possum

[@scottnelson1713]

I don't know about that ghost hunting part, but the rest of the video was good, so no complaints about it. Interesting that all that one Jeep needed was a clamp rotated on the steering.

[@shawnp6653]

Looks like fun. I am really liking the jeep :)

[@timothymilam732]

Mike definitely had the best rescue, poor Tod might have been eaten by bear or mountain lion if he hadn't of gotten there when he did. 😂

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always great content very entertaining good job

[@susanmedlock4482]

Rory and crew you all are amazing. Absolutely love your channel. Wishing I could do a ride along with someone. But after 3 back surgeries and now scoliosis of the spine I don’t think I’ll ever be able to ride the trails. I love watching you all and living the fun through you all. ❤❤❤

[@jamesbigham9036]

I like the way you guys divide and conquer to get multiple things done at one time. I hope you get one of the wreckers up and running so you can have a heated vehicle to do recoveries since winter is definitely here

[@albertorozco5981]

Ghost hunting. You guys are all so cool. 😎

[@jmjm6607]

Great job again.

[@Amisafeyet]

Its funny to see Rory so nervous about the spooky stuff.😂

[@B4UClose]

Some of the crazy dang places you guys take vehicles!! She may have been scared but she was out there doing it anyway with Todd!

[@stevenberg1903]

Rory,Mike,Shawn "ya ya, you're doin' good" 👍👍

[@shaunepegrum]

What a fun night that looked and love the 2 different views of both recoveries. Nice job guys 🤟😎🇦🇺

[@lonhoschar1943]

Recoveries and ghost hunting. What could be better than that?!! Nice video!!!

[@alanm.4298]

"Ancient alien astronaut theorists say, 'Yes!'."

[@dougalexander7204]

I see what you did there.

[@botfoblhrp]

love the shots of everything 😊

[@rickydonahue1586]

What a fun video! Y'all were all over. P.S. It's not the Skin Walkers you have to worry about. It's the Dog Men!😳

[@Bigjimcowboy]

Great video lots of fun

[@johnchedsey1306]

Those pictographs and petroglyphs at Sego are amazing (though I went in the daytime to avoid potentially malevolent spirits). They are some of the most striking ones I've seen. I still don't know if those spooky figures are enemies of the ancient people or protectors. Either way, for anyone who loves ancient rock art, Sego is a great spot to check out and not far off I-70. And once again, Mike is just the best for helping people and being a great coach for getting over obstacles.

[@rknight7509]

excellent again 👌👍

[@Thisguyandhiscamera]

Woohoo!

[@bobtucker8875]

U guys are rock stars. No really, staking rocks.

[@dezertraider]

SPENT COUPLE NIGHT WAY UP THERE..MINED COAL IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.. SOME OF THE BIGGEST SAGE I EVER SEEN,WATER ALSO. HAD A STEAK FROM BLUE MT MEATS,NO WOOD TO COOK,I USED DRIED COW TURDS ,WORKED EXCELLENT..THANK YOU SO MUCH..

[@craigbowley6783]

I would love to go do that! I've had many paranormal experiences in my life! So I fully believe in that stuff!

[@marvincarter870]

Trail Mater team and Matt's off road recovery family hunting ghosts and doings recovery's this is a great Saturday afternoon! Good video and content!

[@NANKEL1]

I love Mike conspiracy theories about the birds working for the government 😂

[@thepubliceye]

Thanks. Golden crack reminded me of my X

[@davedyck3982]

"It may have gotten run over, but I don't know who... May have done that " 😂

[@timking2194]

Great video

[@ToddAdams1234]

Armadillos are “armored possums”! 😂

[@_Merica_USA]

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

[@garychaiken808]

Great job guys. Thank you 😊

[@wldstrknwv]

Thought this was cool to take us along... and Rory I really liked your camera angle going down the rocks, kinda a first person perspective. It gave off a realistic depth perception going off the obstacle!! very cool!

[@ianclark-fh8tu]

Good afternoon gentlemen!!🤙🏻😎 Hope you all a a wonderful Turkey Day!

[@glenpurdy-v7z]

love the shawn and mike show

[@reddog543211]

Great video guys....hope everyone got enough Turkey !!

[@RandyInouye]

I have an idea. Put some small mirrors in the bushes at the cemetery. So when someone shines a flashlight into it the light shines back at them. 😮

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@jeremiahsherman1190]

Great video guys way to pack in the content

[@paulcooper9135]

Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

I love the scenery you always show. Good stuff. Oh, the recoveries are OK too. Buggy audio was fine

[@richardtaylor6604]

Fun video! Happy Holidays to all.

[@scottmctear6282]

Hey hope you have a great and safe holiday! 🇺🇸 I believe that it's always the same moon. 🎄✨️🌕

[@martycj8]

I think Mike should become Tod's new daddy!

[@emilevoyer123]

Thanks for another great video

[@therussmccurdy2602]

OMG you let Mike's drive for a recovery!!!!! YIPPIE

[@jaws7794]

I'm not sure if the audio is working. It may have gotten runned over!😆

[@davidfisher6528]

According to Google armadillos are in their own family. They’re closest living. Relatives are ant eaters and sloth…… love you guys happy holidays

[@seangerrity9217]

And Opossums are marsupials and more related to Koala and Kangaroo.

[@scottharrell7135]

They are good eating as well

[@ToddAdams1234]

It’s too bad that those armored anteaters are known for carrying leprosy.

[@scottharrell7135]

@ Lol haven’t been a case in a 100 year.

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Great video as usual

[@everready19373]

Why didn't you guys use that big tree right next to the Ford? What, no pangolins? Did you ever go to Newspaper Rock? That's pretty cool. My daughter was amazed by it. That woman in the black Jeep is a cutie!

[@livinlifezr2659]

That ford exploder is on its last leg bout to live up to its name haha you hear that thing tick haha

[@bobbruce4543]

I like the we brought team yellow out to see this shiiii stuff! If I were to video my shenanigans it would be like a episode of the Osbornes! Only be about two minutes of usable footage with audio

[@stephenshort839]

A new meaning to S and M action.

[@pauljohnstone4723]

When I saw the heading of ghost hunting I just ignored it and didn't read the full details because it didn't sound like Trailmater. You have to go out on Wednesday nights occasionally, and have some fun with friends. As long as every one comes home with all their fingers and toes and not too many people get arrested anything goes. After all, we are all adults.

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Guys

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Once again winter has crept into Moab.... snow, cold winds. game moving to the lower lands, Now the tows are for people who go off the road, get stuck in snow... and stiff cold hands from working out in the cold...

[@brianabbott2255]

Todd is pretty cute! How do pets always look like their owners..? 😍

[@phatdaddy1955]

Great vid guys! Love the recoveries but today it shows how what looks like a easy recovery is tricky, and other times the gnarliest situation is a breeze! Thank you! (It's seven and lots of frozen water particles on the ground in Nordeekota...still flat!!!!) Peace and be safe!

[@KenHays-f6w]

Need More "Mini-Mater"!

[@c50mustang74]

It always starts of with everyone laughing........ and then!

[@KenHays-f6w]

Gotta get that jeep painted anything other than yellow, reminds me of that Other Recovery Company,,, LOLOL

[@donlum9128]

Awesome

[@alexgehring1623]

Nice rig

[@dougbourdo2589]

No Shawn, an Armadillo is not the same as a Possum.

[@BryanJohnston-gb4be]

A opossum is related to marsupial family. Not even close to the aramadillo

[@ephjay6t87]

I removed the shell off of my racing snail hoping to make it faster. It actually made it more sluggish. 😐

[@sh-df1bb]

👍

[@maxblankinship5003]

Thank you guys

[@muddypawsadventurer7775]

Cool stuff.. BTW.. that steering stabilizer bracket needs to be reversed to the clamping bolt is above the steering link. Otherwise, she'll be calling again for the exact same issue.

[@Thisguyandhiscamera]

Howdy Y’all!

[@Blahblahblahwhomp123]

Cool. Having Thanksgiving today. This is a nice way to start out

[@Donald-i3k]

"To be honest been scared to come up here!" Yep that will do it.
