A few nights ago I stumbled upon the YouTube channel for Matt's Off Road Recovery. Matt runs a towing service in Hurricane Utah, and although he has conventional winch trucks and roll-back wreckers, he specializes in recovery of off-road vehicles. Hurricane is is soutwest of Zion National park, and that part of Utah is a tourist destination for off-roading, since it offers sand dunes, rock climbing, mountain trails, and snow. His main weapon of choice if the Yellow Banana, a Jeep Cherokee that he puts into some pretty impassable places. What really sucked me into watching a bunch of his videos is the down-home personality of Matt and the people he's got working with him. He started out as just a guy shooting video on his iPhone to put on YouTube, and his channel grew quickly, so now he usually takes one or more camera people as well as other help. On really tough recoveries, they will even bring multiple vehicles. I've yet to see him flustered or mad, and all the language is family friendly. Check out a few of his videos to get to know Matt and the crew (including the dogs) and see what you think. They're seldom longer than 15 or 20 minutes, most of them have a couple of recoveries per video, and I just think they're a real hoot to watch.
This is a good one to start with. He recovers a broken down motorcycle from a place that I wouldn't think you could drive to, let alone towing a flatbed trailer behind.
