So I got a call to rescue a family that was stuck for 2 days digging out of the mud at Bullfrog, Lake Powell. Everyone else told them they were on their own.

The answer is that they must have on road wrecker service but no one with the skills and equipment that Matt and his team have for off road recovery. Good work as always Team!

I'm sharing this little story because I appreciate this channel and the work you guys do so much! My parents, my brother, and I used to go on long road trips over the summers in our truck + fifth wheel. Way back before GPS was as good and user-friendly as it is now, my dad decided to take a sketchy road in California that was definitely not suitable for such a long rig. No guardrails, one lane, unpaved, no cell service, and it was hot, hot, hot. At one point, while inching along on a curve, the road crumbled under the tires on the fifth wheel and my dad had to gun it to keep us from all following the trailer down into the valley. There wasn't anywhere to turn around, not even at the bottom where we came to a narrow bridge that we couldn't even pass because we were too long. I'll spare some of the other details, but we ended up being able to call a tow service to rescue us. There was no way he could tow us out, so that amazing man backed up the entire rig all the way back to the main road, including the same spot where the road gave way. I'm sure my dad paid a pretty penny that day, but I've never seen him so thankful in all my life. Keep up the amazing work, y'all!

Each part of the US has its own beauty. As a West coast resident I will say the scale of the landscape out here is amazing. Large desert basins that span tens of miles, enormous granite mountains and their associated valleys and rivers, and the vast coastline of the Pacific. It's all so big it makes you feel so small. I mean, driving hours in a West coast state leaves you in the same state most of the time. If you start at the Southern tip of California you have to drive 12 to 14 hours straight just to get the the Northern border!

It's like how the old timers say that if you get a new thermos, scratch it. New knife, drop it. New gloves, rub them in the dirt.

In the 70’s , even the road between Escalante and Boulder was not paved and I was up there in my Datsun pick up in grader ruts half as deep as the truck ! The Aspens were beautiful. The traverse took about 2 hours more than I expected! I’ll never forget the first time I sunk a tire in that red powder and got stuck on our picnic . Out of the blue a young guy showed up in a rusty old Farm Pick-up , lassoed my bumper with a sisal rope and pulled us out.

@@danielb6472 They drove right past so many amazing spots. At the top of the switchbacks there was a canyon they could have taken the moorvair up for a few minutes to one of the most incredible viewpoints I've ever seen, Strike Valley Overlook. And then one of the neatest waterfalls I've ever seen was right at the bottom of that sketchy bit of 12, Lower Calf Creek Falls.

Riding that narrow highway on that ridge reminds me of back in the day when I drove on it. Really never have "fear" when driving along steep drop-offs, but that particular stretch on that ridge did indeed raise the hair on the back of my neck. tks for taking us along, and glad you had the good recovery that no one else would do..

Matt, Utah is beautiful. I flew over it once, decades ago……. Your videos constantly showing the natural beauty is the 3rd reason, maybe the 4th reason I watch. 1. The jobs you all do, 2. The crew and interactions, 3. LIZZY and her constant growth as a fearless young person and okay, 4 the views. There are a few other you-tubers from Utah that I watch, but they honestly are only for the appreciation of the natural landscape. Casey and Heavy D both work to help keep Utah clean and beautiful. While you also keep Utah beautiful, it’s not as loudly broadcasted. Eventually I will be driving coast to coast, and hopefully I’ll zig zag north to south, east to west. I can’t wait.

I think this is one of my favourite videos. Matt's experience comes through from Start to finish...doesn't think twice about the job and performs it effortlessly while all other companies pass on it.
