No One In California Would Rescue This Jeep!

Check it out from Trail Maters perspective here. https://youtu.be/8xI0rRH-fJE?si=RGImhHXuO769eRjf

The Jeep driver knew enough to know not to make the situation worse for himself, AND he left cones out to give warning to anyone coming down the trail who might not immediately see the winch line? My kinda dude right there.

Matt’s statement at 18:24, “So I welded half of it and Rory welded half of it and the reason we did that so when it brakes we won’t know who to blame and we both will be blameless!” 😂

The plant you saw at the end is actually a Chaparral Yucca. Fun fact about those plants, once they bloom (grow that big stalk that you see on the plant) and flower, the plant then dies. When they bloom, they can grow 6 inches in a single day.

When Matt and Rory are working together I believe there are no better!!! Their combined experience is priceless and entertaining 😃

There's a right way and a wrong way to fall and Matt did it the right way. He rolled out of his fall. He's the Fall Guy!💥🤩💥

I've gotta admit it's nice to see you in So Cal, Matt! Aren't our mountains and views beautiful? It's great to hear you give our state nice compliments as we usually get a lot of hate from those who don't live here. And you made a side trip to the Mojave Desert, my hometown!

Y’all really need shirts specifically for the rescued. Maybe on the sleeve it says “Rescued” or “Recovered “. Something to differentiate a store bought vs a recovery. Just my 2 cents worth.

That Jeep owner really prepared his post-recovery speech haha!

3:51 dear editor, that transition is a masterpeace and i aplaude you

Matt, this is my back yard! Those antenna towers in the background house my repeater and several other amateur (HAM) and commercial repeaters @5300' above sea level. that fire road is controlled by US forest service and only people with "business" on Sunset Ridge should be on it with motorized vehicles. We actually had a "repeater service" crew drive into that very same ditch, well after dark. We made a couple calls and "So-Cal Offroad and Recovery" from facebook got us out of that ditch with a 2020 Toyota 4Runner named Booger within a couple hours of our call! They are off-road enthusiasts that recover folks for free, they are highly capable, well versed and practiced in some of the incredibly rugged and dangerous places in So-Cal (that was nowhere near the worst of our areas). It was fun seeing you guys in this neigborhood but it was a long way to go for a simple "drag-out" recovery in what we see as a Hiking and garden spot above La Verne and Claremont I'm glad it wasn't a wasted trip since you got to help Caitlans Dad and play in Johnson valley without the ridiculous crowds!

Matt brings out the best in people. A great example of manhood and adulthood. Hard work and friendliness.

Holy crap, that kid's Jeep was close to tumbling down the mountainside! I've seen some partial collapses on these carved out trails in the side of the mountain and this debris is unstable rubble. He really had some incredible luck! 😲

Looking through many comments, I'm impressed by how classy the channel is. No one mentioned Matt's statement "Rory is going to take that buggy, up the backdoor." Well done!

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. These are some of the absolute finest YouTube videos to be had. And having both recovery teams, the best in the business; in the same video, priceless!

I'm not sure how many picked up on your short nod to Mr Roger's song, "It's a gooood feeling, a very good feeling... " LOVE IT.

Rory is the man when it comes to trail repairs

Hammer town looks so different without 80,000 people there. Great job!

That's where I grew up! Nice to see beautiful California!

With Matt and Rory both on the scene , they make a Dynamic Duo! It doesn't get any better! Thanks for a great video by the "Best of the Best"!
