    I don’t think there was any drama. I certainly hope not as they all seem to be good friends!

    That mud recovery from Sunday's video looked FUN! I'm sure it was really hard work and very taxing, but it looked awesome!

    I’ve been watching his channel for a while now. I like how he is very patient and never talks down to anyone. At least not on the camera.
    I feel I have learned a lot on how to recover others.

    Knowing a few people in the recovery business, they all say it's just not worth the mental bandwidth.

    Yeah, you could talk down to them, but they're still stuck AF and you're hoping they will either call you again or at the very least give a positive review / word of mouth mention. Still got bills to pay.

    If it was actual show they would have to script in drama. You're right though, the camera work and editing have gotten very good. Utah's tourism board should be paying Matt.

    Anyone catch Trail Mater? This guy does recoveries in Moab. Mad skills!

    I bet he would be crazy board driving anything else through there that was actually built to crawl with. He can drive that tow truck anywhere that anyone else drives their crawler rig through. Then he tows out the broken ones.......through the same trails!!!!

    Today's episode annoys me. Operation "Golden Nugget". I count 7 people, probably 3 days of labor, vehicles, travel, etc. All for a 40 year old junker. Those YouTube videos must pay real well cause that piece of junk ain't worth the cost of getting it out. A helicopter would have made more sense
