Is Matt’s Off Road Recovery Rope Best? Let’s Settle This!
Is Matt’s Off Road Recovery Rope Best? Let’s Settle This!
Matt’s Off Road Recovery Kinetic Recovery Rope (Yankum Ropes), Bubba Rope, Smittybilt, Rhino USA, FieryRed, Inclake and Sgt Knots. Ropes tested for elasticity under load. Ropes then experienced 25 pulls to test durability. Following the 25 pulls, the ropes were tested again for loss of elasticity and “permanent rope stretch”. A big thank you to Cousin Eddie for helping me test the ropes and for allowing the Farmabago to be used for review. Please let me know if you’d like to see Cousin Eddie in more videos!
I bought all of the recovery ropes and supplies used to test the ropes to ensure an unbiased review. So, thank you supporting the channel.

Always excellent reviews, but not this one. The kinetic recovery ropes are not rubber bands,they are designed to be a dash pot with their internal nylon construction. And the hysteresis is not permanent, the elongation returns in hours, not minutes.
And how the test tools work. WOW
Just a pointer for anyone pulling a vehicle out. Never pull from your hitch ball. Your hitch ball is not rated as high as the frame of your vehicle and could fail. If the ball breaks it becomes a flying piece of metal that has sadly ended in death for people flying into windshiled hitting person. Please never use a ball to attach to in order to pull someone out. Only attach to vehicles frame.
I know this is a year old but it seems to me like you are abusing these ropes. I am pretty sure you aren’t supposed to stretch the yankum more than 5 times u til you let it relax.
Traction board could be a good one
"rhinousa is made in China" 😂🫣🤦🏻♂️💀
This is so ironic because I watch Matts off-road recovery all the time. That led me to get a kinetic rope just in case I ever needed it to either help someone or for someone to use it on me. Always enjoy your videos. Keep them up.
Thanks!
matts crap rope is over priced branded garbage, shame on him!
Would love to see you test sandy cats kinetic x ropes posed to be the best according to their testing you would def help

are you suggesting that the chinese rope will burn on repeated use//? try it, see if you can get melting or even burning heat
Cousin Eddie – hilarious!
I mean, using a suburban is kinda cheating anyway.
talks like he is in an auction , gave up after a min or so Also pounds instead of kg and tonnes
$50 club… because we don’t recover for a living but its better than a chain or regular tow rope.———>>>>>>>>
Support American jobs and manufacturing. Buy American.
His delivery is oddly satisfying.
this channel is incredible
Should have included just a piece of 7/8 generic double braid. That’s all these overpriced lines are….
Eddie has pretty women’s legs😂
What is the best ride on lawn mower lol
The ropes should stretch; the real test would be how much they actually shrink back to their original length and how long it takes.
your reviews are good but you should take a doggy downer before you start. Breath and just tell us in a nice calm voice what you want to say. I know I am an outcast but hard to watch
HUGE PRICE VARIATION.
VERY INFORMATIVE AS USUAL.
Test chemicals and applications for pond treatment.
Soo bad wana watch the review but the sped up and voice tone is very annoying
Very interesting. After all that shock loading you say the ropes are still serviceable. A really useful measurement to show this would have been to measure their ultimate tensile stress. I bet it has been significantly reduced.
Good reviews, always, but I always have to turn on closed captions and slow the vid down a bit in order to understand what the heck is being said.
Rope a dope….!
Thanks! I love your tests. Great job.
Cool test and well done. As always. Keep up the good work.
Rhino USA made in china 😅
I use straps from loading docks! Blows the weave out of those one time use straps!
I watched the whole thing. Have no idea what you said.
Love the facts but gahhhhh. Its like trying to understand an auctioneer… rattled through that so fast I was lost 90% of the time
Honestly I think any one of these would be great for anybody that’s going to off-road and try to recover someone. I’m not talking about a guy who’s out there doing it all day everyday. I’m just saying if you bought a $50 kinetic energy rope it’s still a hundred times better/safer than any damn chain or cable out there.
If it’s made in the USA, then it’s good rope.
Take note other review channels, No BS, no bias, straight to the point and a likeable host
2:31 And the Rhino USA is made in china……….
“the Rhino USA is made in China.” 😝
Ik im touch on this super late now, but I was at home depot the other day and Home Depot’s in house brand husky now sells a kinetic rope on the shelves now, would it be something you could revisit to and test ?
Sgt Knots is no longer available
You make great v8deo but you need to slow down, you are speaking way to fast and…. sry but it’s annoying
Watched a video the other day telling to NEVER use a tow hitch for doing a recovery. They are not designed for it. They showed what can happen, and wow…. Yep never do that.
Them using these ropes on their videos, sells the product itself. This is just some random fucking nerd, trying to capitalize off of their name and branding
Not even watching longer than 2 minutes…. horrible video
I’m all about made in the USA, but American companies need to stop gouging customers because they are in the USA
I feel like I’m at an auction
I know they’re super-strong, but we really needed these tested to their rates breaking strength.
You seem to be measuring stretch, which is one helpful metric to be sure. But the easiest way to smell a rat (and risk) is to see if they’re as strong as is claimed.
Anyway, great video. Thanks for taking the time.
