‘I know the engine is ok because I was running it for about 4/5 minutes’. Matt’s silence ‘You’ve destroyed this engine’

it still amazes me how Matt wears the same clothes if its 110 degrees in the dunes or 30 degrees in the snow.

That was just flat out entertaining, damn Matt has some patience. "I know its ok cause I ran it for 5mins" the silence "3-4mins" hope you got the extra insurance.

The man with one shirt whose given away hundreds of shirts. There’s some kind of future “old proverb” in there… Happy Birthday Matt!

@1:48 Matt: "this isn't a road". Customer with car in ditch: "the map says it is" 🤣

I admire how much of a stand-up guy Matt is - not just pulling his customers back to civilization, but also making sure they're taken care of.

Half million+ views in one day !! Matt's daily life really rocks !! Takes the customer to the airport ....A Mitzvah !!

It's great having Tom Tom on the crew he's cool & intelligent, nice job in a new situation keeping the customer safe & not causing more damage to their rental, you're very understanding & professional Matt, great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍

Kudos to you Matt for keeping your cool. That guy is a true "Dip Stick" taking that car out there that far.

My job also involves helping people get out of difficult situations they get themselves in. I refer to people like that first guy as “job security.”

I live Quebec Canada, i have lived my whole life(61years) in lots of snow every winter, you can’t drive in snow like you do in sand or anything else, snow when heated by friction of your tire will become ice, it means if you are stuck you can’t just spin your wheels, the trick is to rock the boat, which means: a bit the opposite way you where going until you feel it starts spinning and brake and then the other way and so on back and forth to create a motion without spinning as much as possible

Customer: "You're the tow truck?" Matt: "Nope, just here to clean up the oil."

The look on Matt's face when customers say or do something stupid is absolutely priceless! 🤣

It is always great to see Jamie (The Boss) and Matt together on a recovery. They make such a cute couple. Plus it's Matt's genius that told him to bring the Banana along on that recovery because, he knew that truck was sitting in a pond. I guess he thought the water would be frozen by the time they got there. It wasn't but, he covered for that possibly. What a Master Recovery, maybe he should make that his new title.

My brother in law’s uncle has a cabin up there. I got stuck in the snow the same way the pickup and Morrvair both got stuck. There are deep drainage ditches that get covered in the snow. You don’t see the ditch until your front wheels drop down into it. I got pulled out by my brother in law’s cousin. Put my chains on and had no more problems knowing not to park in the ditch. Had a great weekend at the cabin riding snowmobiles.

I bet the first guy was using a GPS instead of common sense. Likely the first time he was in the area or in such bad roads, likely from a city or suburb area. Its too bad someone didn't stop him before he got into trouble. I like how nicely you treated him. He could also face a huge bill from the rental company for driving it off road as his fault, maybe on their no rental list. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and thank you for your family, team for your entertaining videos. No cussing, great teamwork shown, very nice people. I got into YT videos earlier this year, after a few months of retirement from 43 years of working as a litigation paralegal in NYC, as too much of TV, daytime or in prime time is garbage. Keep up the good work.

Now I know what they mean when they say 'drive it like a rental'. Add this event to the growing list of "what were you thinking?" (when driving out there, no matter what the map says. Geez

A second rig pays off again. Thank you for sharing as it brings me joy. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to your whole team.

Last night (Christmas eve) my wine aunt parked across the top of my steep driveway, on ice and snow....She was sliding side ways down it. I used a recovery strap and knowledge from watching you to extract her....turned wheels towards the passenger (down hill) and pulled her backwards. Took three tugs but we got her out! Thanks for all the knowledge and entertainment! Cheers, merry Christmas!

It's kinda crazy how good Matt has gotten at holding a phone level while bouncing and filming himself sideways. Kinda impressive

I have driven to the 3 corners, and it is not worth it at all. That poor little car. MORR does such good work and makes customer safety the top priority. Love these videos, thank you for sharing these adventures!

Hey Matt, some cars you’ll need to “hold” the stop/start button to get into accessory/run position and others you’ll need to do a double click, that’s of course with no foot on the brake

When towing newer cars Matt remember they have and auto engage when you open the doors. to prevent roll away.

He wasn't "stuck". He was temporarily limited in his options. But he wasn't "out of options". Great video. When I get to see the MOORvair and the Banana together, it's a great video. Merry Christmas MOOR Crew!

Happy Birthday Matt and Merry Christmas to the Matts Off-road family

"I run the engine so I know it's good." Yeah bud you cracked the pan and don't have any oil.

Happy Birthday Matt! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the whole MORR team! 🎄 Thank you for the many hours of entertainment you given me this past year! I look forward to many more. You guys are great! 👍

I need to take polite lessons from Matt

I feel really sorry for whoever buys that car when the rental company sells it 😂

This is an example of treating people fairly when they are from a different country. I have been to different countries and always been suspicious about whether I was being and always super grateful I was.

So I own this car, 2023 Hyundai Elantra, and yes it is very frustrating trying to move it or recover it. The anchor points are great! But you do have to push the button twice, put it in neutral, and then go. Problem is, it has an automatic electronic parking brake that does what it wants. If the battery died, I can’t imagine you could unlock the steering or parking brake without taking stuff apart.

Guy worrying that maybe he's going to get in trouble if he says he left the car running & it shut itself down by seizing or going into Safe Mode "I ran it 4-5 minutes with the AC on." Then...more worried..."I ran it for 3-4 minutes...so I know it runs." 🤓

Well I'd have to agree with Matt, 32 is not cold. It's -21 with a -58 windchill here in North Dakota right now. Awesome video, it's good to see we aren't the only ones having "fun" in the snow right now.

I just got back from Flagstaff Arizona. I took my granddaughter to Santa's workshop. Flagstaff is about 7,000' above sea level. The difference between that and Phoenix was tremendous. I had a hard time breathing the whole time. Then I hear you talking about 11,000'? My admiration for you guys stepped up ten fold. You guys are awesome.

Not making fun of the driver, reading the manual... he's a gentleman and a scholar!

Oh, man, a *rental* with possibly catastrophic engine damage. Hope he took out the full damage waiver or they will nail him for a new engine.

Even when Matt is stuck, he makes it look easy!!

Great video, have to say I was concerned for your safety as it was necessary to take up a position on or across the road while using the winch. As a former Peace officer I alway see situations for the risk factors. You were there so I'm sure you access you situation. That said wouldn't it be safer to have either temporary flashing lights or some permanent lights that could enhance visibility, I know our light bars could add white light at night for lighting up the area, and or flashing lights to warn approaching traffic. In your kit you ould have pylons,flares, high visibly traffic vest, etc. My main concern has to be a warning light system. They can even be set up internally to flash when on road where an inattentive diver could hit you, an employee or your beloved Morvair and banana. Thanks for the content keep up the great service you all provide.

The one thing I noticed is that the comms systems might need to be setup. Combination of CB Radio, GMRS, FRS & HAM might be useful for vehicle to vehicle chatting when you are outside cell service as well as using small handheld radios for quick chats when you are on foot

I love when they trust the map more than their own eyes 😂

As a Swedish I like snow recoveries. Looking forward to the snowy season 😜 repaired the Bombi yet Matt?

I am after years watching MORR still amazed at these people that take rental sedans into the deep desert with no clue what dangers are there and how to survive if they have any issues. What happens if there is no cellular service for them to call MORR?

Matt is so respectful of people when they’ve screwed up. But I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the shop off camera

Smart move there Matt, marrying such a brilliant lady. Once again, Jaymie is smart enough to take over the driver’s seat and keep warm. And as others have said already, you’re comment, or lack thereof, when the guy assured you the engine still works, “because I had it running just 4/5 minutes ago,” was classic Matt. Happy birthday, and Merry Christmas.

lol 9:36 Matt pretends to pump gas when he’s actually pumping gas. (…to appease the out-of-fuel haters.) 😂

I hope everyone in the Winder towing family has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy birthday Matt!

If the Morrvair got stuck then the truck had no chance at all to save itself. I was thinking the weird noise @12:53 was going to be another issue to deal with before the truck recovery even got started. I wonder if Matt will dress as Santa? Then again it might be an adult party. Either way I hope everyone enjoys themselves. It would be cool of Matt if he gave Lizzy a Christmas bonus. She can handle any task and I think she has been there the longest. I hope you all (viewers included) have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy, safe and prosperous New Year. ---Anyone else cold? It's -4 degrees here in the hills and valleys of SE Ohio with a wind chill of -22 degrees. Matt might even need a coat for a recovery here right now. As usual a small rock chip in my windshield turned into a growing crack every time I am forced to turn the defroster on. I could find a truck hauling gravel and get his plate number and claim one of his gravels hit it. Here in Ohio if something off a truck breaks your windshield then they are at fault. If something is on the road and a truck/car slings it into the windshield and breaks it then your insurance has to pay. Deer hits are similar, if you call your insurance and tell them you hit a deer then you have to pay a deductible the same as a collision. But if you tell them the deer ran into you then you don't. Enough guys, too much coffee, later.

Never saw a guy that could take the cold like Matt does...amazing! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

Sub freezing temps… and Matt is practically in his birthday suit! (15:20 …well, naked arms - No jacket). Happy Bday! ❤

This is why you will always prosper. You are a good a man that truly worry’s and cares about his customers. God bless you sir love your videos

Wild request. We need to see Jamie's shoes. She's always in sandals but I'm guessing she wears something more substantial in the winter. You give her enough grief about "wrong shoes".

To get it into neutral, you have to remove the key from the fob, and put it in the key slot next to the gear shift

And those who told you to look in the owners manual were right;) . With push button think if it like a key. First you put it in slot one then you move the key accessory mode third move starts. It’s the same concept but just a button instead of a key. Don’t touch the brake on push buttons and they don’t start. The owners manual would of told you how to put in accessory mode also since you didn’t know. When you said I don’t know to put in it that mode… look up that mode😂.

Matt is a cold weather warrior. Guy got nothing but a short sleeve button up on. You know he’s cold but he doesn’t give his discomfort a seat at the table. Young men can learn a lot from that small detail alone.

I remember the days of no winch on the Jeep. Now you run 2 winches at once Glad you use them now. Great job

The hours to a towing and recovery business sucks, no thanks. So glad that there are people doing it

Hello, Matt, I believe it's called "Three Corners" because even the straight line that you see could be considered as a 180 degree corner. Love what you guys do! Keep going!

This it the second birthday Matt's had this week. How many birthdays does he have in a year? 😂

I truly enjoy your videos! When I see you in the sand & on slickrock, I take notes. As a guy who was raised where my only off-roading is mud or snow, I do get a kick out of watching you in snow! The only time I have gotten my 15 & 16 year old kids to follow along with my interests was watching the Golden Nugget get done. Awesome content I watch them all!!

“Are you the tow truck?” Valid question from a guy in his situation.

Better call Hazmat, the EPA and Greta.... They're going to lock that boy up for a long time

It occurred to me that some recovery operations may benefit from some flashing LEDs mounted high on both the Banana and Morvair. (Sitting in road winching in low light.)

It's enjoyable watching these rescue videos. If I may only add one thing: a little explanation of the use and deployment of blocks and tackles and the layout of cables other than in straight line pulling. Nothing overly technical which other videos offer, but simple descriptions of why you use the approaches you do.

Happy Birthday Matt. I'm with Matt; No way of knowing mud is under the snow. And we can do whatever we want when there is a second vehicle available. He found the only mudhole and found what he needed to know about moving it out forward. Thanks for posting. Happy Holy days.

Can't blame the first dude for getting lost, my people are wanderers - we spent FORTY years in the desert! 😁🤣

Matt: Those radios seem to be really helping on rescues. Technology is great!

Matt tromping around in knee deep snow with a short sleeve shirt on just getting the job done. I’ve heard him say he’s a farmer at his roots - he isn’t kidding!

Thanks for the weekly roundup. I love the multi-dog photo, noticing that Max needed to be soft shackled in place 🙂

It is amazing how many people will take the wrong vehicle where it shouldn’t be.we are heading up to Mt Charleston this weekend to help out families stuck in the snow for Christmas 😎

MORRy Christmas to the crew & the best of the season to your (extended) family!

Interesting how "has no oil" means different things to people. Thanks for prettying up another vid for us Jaymie.

I like how nicely you treated him. He could also face a huge bill from the rental company for driving it off road as his fault, maybe on their no rental list.

2nd recovery "I wanted to make a path through there...." Sheesh!

Happy birthday Matt, and a very merry Christmas to all at morr family.

"This goes pretty much everywhere in 2 wheel drive, and it goes everywhere else in 4" - Matt Best quote I've seen in a bit

I am thankful, in all my escapades, I've never put a hole in my oil pan. I'm sure it's only by pure luck. Lol. Hopefully that guy had the extra insurance.

You’re lucky you had the foresight to bring two vehicles!😊

With most vehicles, there is a brake lock associated with the transmission to prevent takeoffs when switching gears. Most push button cars, will require you to press the start button and then the 2nd time with your foot OFF the brake pedal. Once in the start position, pressing the brake pedal will release the transmission lock allowing you to change gear. As for the perceived Tow hook, these are not meant for towing the car but just to secure them in transit on the car carriers. This is why most manufacturers no longer supply the hook in the trunk.

Miss the good old crazy razor recoveries. All your videos are great but the fun in the sand is classic.

I would so trade you for that 40 degrees!!! Is -7 with no go wind chill, no travel advised n all that lovely winter weather!! Keep up the great content

Going through life completely helpless has got to be expensive. Imagine knowing so little about cars or machines in general.

Well this first recovery could have definitely benefited by using radios :)

I am so addicted to your show I almost watched it every night You guys are beyond great. You don’t know how much I appreciate you for one of the greatest shows ever Best love and wishes from Bethlehem Palestine❤

That rental car was run for a lot longer than a couple minutes as the customer said. He said it was good and cold, the air-conditioning that is. That didn't cool down to cold in a couple minutes and then he sat in there to Cool himself. All more than a couple minutes and just long enough to burn the bearings. Matt gets credit for seeing the puddle of oil when you consider that his first pull was from the back of the car. Some people might have missed that oil dump completely had they walked up and connected to the rear end. The "Master Recovery Tech" did it again.

Why do people think a car can go were there is no road? It's amazing how you can see a situation and know how to get people out with the lest amount of problems. Merry Christmas

0:11 I've driven off road, starting from Mesquite (bottom center of screen), headed north up to Caliente and then to Pioche (100+ miles). There are some nice stretches on the northern third. But other than a few well maintained, straight roads like Matt began driving on here (1:01) a lot of the roads are washboard, with desert brush boxing the vehicle onto the road. The terrain is nowhere near as nice as other areas in Utah and Nevada

Loved the "no horsing around, let's get this done" switch in character whilst stuck in the snow. Calm and collected as always Enjoy Christmas! All the best to you and yours

I still think 3rd custom vehicle to build. A 2 ton crew cab, long bed frame. Stick a reg cab and a aluminum roll back platform on a extended frame. Pull up Jeep’s, cars, side by sides. It of course would not fit tight trails. That’s the heavy wrecker place. But often it looks like places a average 4wd with decent tires could go. Have you ever considered a emergency lighting kit? I just saw a video of guy pulling a car with a winch. Across a city street. A car with dash camera running did not see the rope. (Or either vehicle) nailed rope, totaled the car. Watching footage , knowing there was a winch cable. I did not see it till too late. Maybe wig wag to LEDs in corners?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEARDED OFF ROAD WONDER!!!

What are the chances that Hertz will not charge that first fella for a new engine? Rental companies usually have a disclaimer that says the customer is on the hook for damages from off-roading. It has been my experience that Hertz never misses an opportunity to find new ways to take a customer's money.

- Is this your own car or is it rental? - It's my own car. - So, this is a rental... 😂

Jamie is so cute. Love her going with Matt on reccoveries.

Есть старая поговорка: "Не зная броду - не суйся в воду". Со снегом такая же ситуация. У нас в России все об этом знают. Снег очень коварная штука. Совсем не обязательно иметь мощный двигатель чтобы передвигаться по снегу. Всё дело в правильной зимней резине, давлении в колесах и, разумеется, в опыте.

Love every video Matt. What are the rules if any on dealing with the oil on the ground? Who cleans it up if anyone?

As a Canadiani can say -1c is not cold at all and is most definitely still t-shirt weather when you’re working. I don’t blame Matt for no coat on. If anything the snow felt really good.

"Tuff" guys don't need coats! Happy Birthday Matt. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you and yours..

That first recovered car reinforces my weariness of new cars, do I have to install a custom firmware to get the car to do what I wish ??

32 degrees and that wind was whistling! Matts running around in that short sleeved work shirt like a real man. It is cute how he aims the remotes at the winches, though.

Thank god for custimers like this. They keep Matt busy and us entertained.

Matt's winching channel! The sponsors want all that winch action prominently shown.
