Glad everyone got out safe. Having years of experience in snow cats servicing radio sites, we had track jacks, all the tensioner tools ,all operators had to be trained on how to replace a track. Most importantly every operator had back country survival training , avalanche awareness training, and you never left the pavement without enough supplies to survive at least 24 hours in sub freezing temperatures. Please stay safe , get the proper training and stock the cat with survival supplies. Everyone in the cat needs to bring their own 24 hours of warm clothes... Please stay safe out there.

That line was completely incorrect, though. They had the brains to know that they didn't have the tools they needed.

The kids did a great job here. Matt, ya'll 100% need to properly inspect your gear before you go out into any sort of recovery. Even just a once over around and under is good enough to find things like what seems to have caused the problem this time. Some advice as a guy with a TON or outdoors and especially winter experience your team needs to beef up their winter survival gear asap. At least 1 shovel, 1 of every tool you might need to fix something that could be a common break at least at the simple level. A track jack for the bombi would be super helpful but not always 100% necessary, at least 1 spare tire, and a bunch of bolts and nuts for the more vulnerable moving components. A radio that can reach out to you or a satellite phone should be out with every team. An axe or hatchet, fire starting materials, both a lighter AND waterproof matches, and a spare jerry can full of fuel Every team member should have a go bag with spare warm clothes. Wool socks, pants, shirt, sweater, and winter boots, 1 large thick preferably wool blanket for every person each vehicle going out can seat, enough high energy food and water for 24h of sitting around. Yes this seems like a lot but even where you are where its normally pretty warm out, if its cold enough for there to be snow on the ground, its cold enough to lose finger, toes, ears, noses, etc. Its cold enough to fall through some unknown deep snow or ice into water or just get stuck covered in snow. It doesnt take much to permanently maim or kill someone. Seen it far far too often. Stay safe and hope the bombi get fixed!

[@adambeaudry7784]

When you fix/beef up the back axle, why not replace the rubber tire with a sprocket mounted on a free spinning wheel bearing. That would allow you to get the tracks as tight as you want without worrying about the tire and would allow you to beef up the rear brakes for better turning. Seems like it would solve most of your current issues with the bombi.

[@Ganiscol]

I've been thinking the same way during the last Bombi disaster recovery when the front brakes broke. The rear brakes dont do alot of work with a rubber wheel. 😅

The Bombi could benefit from the install of those small carriage rollers that support the tracks between the large rubber tires. Look at Caterpillar track systems (I worked there years ago) and tanks for that matter. Some are spring loaded to keep proper tension on the tracks. Dozers of yester-year had a floating system that had a large adjusting bar at the real (usually) with a large nut that adjusts the tension like a rear motorcycle wheel with a chain drive. There are chain tensioners on timing gears and clutch chain drive systems (Harley's). A tank can travel at highway speeds and not lose a track. Bombi could use a lot simpler and cheaper system than that with the similar results. I've seen the work you guys produce and know this would be a sinch for your team. You could blast through that snow and leave a rooster tail. While towing a broken down client's wreck. Keep up the great work. Love watching your work. 79 year old life-long Phoenix Resident.

[@johnwythe1409]

None of that would help much if the back axle is bent, still going to come off. not sure there is enough room between the wheels for a small carriage roller. Maybe a spring loaded tensioner would help. That is what Caterpillar has for their metal tracks, mind you those springs are massive and preloaded with a killer (literally) amount of tension.

I had a Snowcat back in the 80's with a similar axle design and it was constantly bending the rear axle or shearing the spindle off. In fact that was the reason I sold the thing, got tired of constantly having to work on it. Never could, back then, figure out why it kept bending because the Snowcat was only used for driving through an oil field to check the pump jacks and it had the industrial GMC 292 which really wasn't a great power house.

14:09 one thing i'd add to the Bombi is, for the doors, either a large magnet OR the self closing fence door latches, where the fence door's pin is replaced with a small metal loop either bolted or welded to the door. The mechanism is pretty low profile, and because it's self closing, even if someone forgets to pop the door on the latch when it's open, it will eventually self grab itself so it doesn't swing.

Great job by the extended team! Nice to see the Bombi in the snow in it's new colors. Lookin' good. No more tug of war in the dirt, Matt!

[@DarthDainese69]

That bombi is always breaking 🤣

[@GregoryVeizades]

It's almost like they didn't think to actually design a good system.

[@johnb8369]

Kevin, I like how your reaction to catching a 16" smallie is the exact same as your reaction to a 43" red or striper. Shows your passion for fishing in general. Keep the vids coming.

[@SteelheadTed]

Dad comment: always be prepared to stay overnight when going in the mountains.

[@SeriouslyCool]

From a recovery guy in somewhat remote part of Australia, I am enjoying this content Thanks guys.

[@patrickbalogh2999]

Once, JUST ONCE, I would like to see the Bombi leave the shop with 0 mechanical problems, complete a job, then return back home with 0 mechanical problems. JUST ONCE!

[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

That will probably take about 3 years to get the bombi to that level of reliability.

[@rachaelworley590]

None of their vehicles are one hundred percent done. LoL they are always working on them and making them better.

[@patrickbalogh2999]

Lol, I'll keep watching, cuz I'm gonna want to see that😅

[@tomaiger]

or the Banana. or the Morrvair. or the Wreck(er)....

[@volvo09]

It would have been perfectly fine if it wasn't for working the sweat out of it at the off road games :)

[@1KUELWHIP]

What a good father they have to walk em through it and calmly handle the situation. Those youngish did an amazing job at doing their best to fix it. Good job team!

[@robbojr11]

A good father would never have put this crew in that situation. They got lucky and they often do. But when it goes wrong it will go wrong in a bad way. Did anyone see hands round wheels and tracks while vehicle was moving. That was fingers looking to be removed.

[@ColinRichardson]

So we got a call. In todays episode: Ed lectures at a college on gold mining, TomTom powers the Banana with a hamster wheel, and Matt and Katelynn have an arm wrestle.

[@animestar9745]

Great job to everyone! I love that your boys have been raised to think and work hard. We need more of this in our country 💪🏼

[@westsenkovec]

In today's episode, the Wetzel brothers almost freeze to death while trying to impress Katelynn.

[@rythemzlatin]

Kaulin is branching-out in his recovery skills ( and that comment didn't even seem phase MATT in the least ! ) He knew Kaulin was just pining for a good signal 😉 ; Hilarious that Katelynn didn't notice her single-bar until he was a-ways up 🤷‍♀️ 😂

[@THX5000]

Matt needs a PistenBully for Bombi recovery.

[@mungox1]

don't ask Jeremy Renner how to run one

[@mattc.310]

Good work and attitude, kids getting to where you did. You knew what was up, but knew you needed to get back for more support. The shop needs a line mechanic with Tom's outlook on operations. A lot of problems could be avoided with that set of eyes on the equipment.

[@MarkDoyleLuthierCat]

Best MOR EVER! The vehicles, engineering, technical building talent in the shop are TINY compared to the future achievement of next generation! Matt should be PROUD ! RESPECT! Except for Ed, I really Miss ED!

[@todddoehrmann1216]

Matt you're an awesome example. We love the way you teach your kids.

[@kimetherington2252]

You need a shop inspector to check on your arsenal when it returns from a recovery or out having fun doing competitions that can take a toll on your vehicles! Catch you on the next ✌️ 😊.

[@davidgates1122]

I was glad to see them utilizing the winch to move that track around. That was an indication they were using their brains to think their way through the situation. You really need a set of track jacks (they do what you were doing with the clamps, but better) and carry them with you. There are some excellent WWII Army training films available here on KZbin that show how to deal with tracks with limited manpower and tools.

[@moody2924]

Matt in a jacket,,,,oh my !!! Humbling what a life saver Dads are sometime.

[@sgrvtl7183]

My goodness ❗️I was freezing just watching the guys& Kaitlin with no warm clothes‼️and then Matt & his friend….BRrrrrr 🥶Congratulations on that recovery👌💯

[@MrSpeedy327]

You kids are doing better than most your age. I am impressed and especially on how yall are raised. Good job!
