Matt is a very cool guy. Love his videos and stories!

First guy was an idiot. (Hope it is nobody on here) That sand was not bad at all. AIR DOWN YOUR TIRES BEFORE GETTING STUCK!

That first one looked avoidable to say the least.

We dropped in to say hi to Matt a couple of weeks ago when in Utah. He’s a good guy but it took him way too long to buy some beadlocks and proper tires for his Jeep.

Cool video's, seen a lot of his recoveries.

Geez guys....momentum---momentum----momentum. I love watching people trying to "power up hills" in the sand.

What happens on the dash at 5:58? The driver reaches down to something on the console (with his left hand, which seems awkard, and that's what caught my attention) and at the same time the display on the dash looks like it switches to the front camera for about a half second or so and then switches back to the map. How is that possible?

In mud/sand or baja mode at low speeds the front camera is on. Once you get over like 5-10 mph the camera turns off. So the driver is probably somewhere between 5-15 mph going up and down in speed. It's kind of annoying and I wish there was a way to control that better.

It amazes me on how many folks who know and/or heard about airing down; however, reluctant to do so and then get into a jam. Anyone who has a rig with a winch or with a very capable rig cruising around will know the burden of going out on the trails. Almost can't go out without being flagged down for a stuck or rolled rig. Can't tell you how many times I get asked how come I can go around so easily on the Raptor which has no winch but I tell them airing down is the simplest and most important thing to do. I have another rig with a winch and that's a magnet for stuck/roll-over rigs. AIR DOWN Y'All!!!!

I heard the fellow saying going down to 10psi, yeah that's great but a little too low without beadlocks. Cutting down the road pressure by half is a starting point. My go-to is 18-20psi. It's nearly impossible to get stuck in my Gen-1 with that.
