    I started watching just for the off roading, but I have learned a lot about recovery.

    the lawsuit is a joke
    the guy makes more money on youtube than by "stealing" from AAA

    aaa is pissed someone is making millions while aaa covers the tab for a lot of the tows, the tows for those aaa paying customers

    people have been abusing the aaa towing and insurance since like for ever, and now aaa is trying to squeeze some money out of matts towing just because aaa probably can and will get away with it

    Three years ago I was charged $460 to tow 30 miles on the highway in my city, and it was a hook truck not a flatbed. By comparison, Winder's rates seem reasonable, especially if he had to drive 1-2 hours to get to you.

    I find myself watching more of Fab Rats as well. Still watch the build videos of Matt's, but mostly checked out on the tow videos, unless its really weird. Only so many times i want to see a Razor get pulled out of sand, lol.

    In line with MOR's work here in Utah:

    1. Follow your gut, not your GPS if the snow looks too deep. That's like half his recoveries.
    2. That sand especially when warm is a mofo. Avoid at all costs if you have the option.
    3. Razor's have limits. It amazes me how many people thrash them with abandon, then are shocked when stuff fails catastrophically.

    Some of his "techniques" though are pretty clever though, like the turn the wheels into the ditch no out so the nose wants to come out pulling backwards, etc.

    Agree. But, I always wonder why I never hear him mentioning "airing-down". That's probably the first thing I would do to try to get out of a tough situation and seems like it would be very helpful in a lot of his recoveries. Maybe he does do it (off camera) but I never hear him say it.
