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 !

[@jsjs6751]

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

[@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 😉

[@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.

[@5kidmonty]

Always a treat Mike and Shawn are ! Mike excellent camera guy. Shawn excellent driver

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

What a great show thanks

[@morgansword]

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

[@PK15306]

Heater on and windows down.👍👍

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

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

[@NorrisAnderson-hn4xn]

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

[@wesman7837]

I thought the red head was Velma?

[@noydb3453]

Shes the brunette with Glasses​@wesman7837

[@tlrfun3]

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

[@llyodreeves4657]

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

[@brianabbott2255]

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

[@RockyAmherst]

I thought I saw a few turkey's, lol, awesome views,,,

[@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.

[@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

[@rickwatson1000]

Great work guys . Mike gets the best jobs

[@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.

[@UncleManuel]

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

[@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!

[@jeremiahsmith7977]

Me and my son LOVE ghost hunting we actually go to haunted places ALL the time!!!❤❤❤❤

[@Myhandle306]

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

[@robertr4193]

Hope every one enjoyed their trip and had fun.

[@jimderrick846]

Great work everyone. Have a great weekend

[@rob5529]

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

[@SH4UN3]

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

[@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

[@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. ❤❤❤

[@lonhoschar1943]

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

[@glenpurdy-v7z]

love the shawn and mike show

[@stephenpoe2037]

Great collage of videos ! thanks for sharing !

[@wesallen4228]

Nice cool multiple recoveries.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@LexxD3]

Seemed like a nice lady w/ a dawg. She should have let Mike see her Tusher Tunnel

[@dannydavis2046]

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

[@TassyDeval]

And cold

[@Dogman580]

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

[@TGSamantha091]

Silly, they hibernate.. sheesh common knowledge LOL

[@davedyck3982]

😂

[@wiresmith2398]

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

[@ToddAdams1234]

THANKS!

[@MarkDettling]

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

[@shawnp6653]

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

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always great content very entertaining good job

[@therussmccurdy2602]

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

[@rknight7509]

excellent again 👌👍

[@jmjm6607]

Great job again.

[@stevenberg1903]

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

[@joelwarthen1135]

Armadillo = Possum on the half shell = armor plated possum

[@HuntersNeverDie]

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

[@albertorozco5981]

Ghost hunting. You guys are all so cool. 😎

[@timking2194]

Great video

[@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!

[@Thisguyandhiscamera]

Woohoo!

[@nobuddy1364]

Mike mentioned going up and maybe seeing deer or elk. Well known fact is that deer turn into elk when you get high enough.

[@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.

[@craigbowley6783]

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

[@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. 😂

[@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..

[@Amisafeyet]

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

[@martycj8]

I think Mike should become Tod's new daddy!

[@dustinwood2585]

Armadillos are actually just opossums with battle armor 👌

[@scottmctear6282]

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

[@ArcticBlues1]

Great Video! Brandon Herrera for director of the BATFE. 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!

[@bobtucker8875]

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

[@NANKEL1]

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

[@SODITGarage]

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

[@botfoblhrp]

love the shots of everything 😊

[@thepubliceye]

Thanks. Golden crack reminded me of my X

[@ianclark-fh8tu]

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

[@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!😳

[@donlum9128]

Awesome

[@garychaiken808]

Great job guys. Thank you 😊

[@Bigjimcowboy]

Great video lots of fun

[@stephenshort839]

A new meaning to S and M action.

[@paulcooper9135]

Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@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. 😮

[@alanm.4298]

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

[@dougalexander7204]

I see what you did there.

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

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

[@maxblankinship5003]

Thank you guys

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@_Merica_USA]

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

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

Dang Mike Kristin was a hottie 😍 and the dog too😅

[@talondavid9408]

Mikey.. you saved Todd the dog!

[@emilevoyer123]

Thanks for another great video

[@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...

[@ToddAdams1234]

Armadillos are “armored possums”! 😂

[@reddog543211]

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

[@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.

[@jeremiahsherman1190]

Great video guys way to pack in the content

[@richardtaylor6604]

Fun video! Happy Holidays to all.

[@livinlifezr2659]

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

[@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.

[@larryjohns8823]

Armadillos are like turtles, the shell is not removable 😊

[@Deanna-k4i]

🎉 supposed to have that much fun maybe you use the shell to cook the armadillo in along with the opossum Hope you guys didn't get scared at ghost town or did you scare the ghosts away 😊😅❤

[@KenHays-f6w]

Need More "Mini-Mater"!

[@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.

[@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

[@edwinschlee8374]

The heck with the ghosts. Go back in the daytime so we can see the painted things too. Easy repair for Mike and the lady was on her way. Those buggy's aren't made for the cold weather.

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Guys
