A father and his two sons got stranded on a snowy road at the base of the Cascades and called search and rescue for help. They then learned of us and called my to see if I could assist. I said I could, and after confirming with search and rescue that they were on hold, Grumpy and I took the tracked Jeep up to find them. Along the way we got a lot more than we'd bargained for!

I assume Casey charges a fair price that's never enough. I'm sure people complain or have something to say but having the vehicles and equipment that allows him to go and do these rescues isn't cheap. And not too many people are willing to go and help people like this. Or they screw up and get stuck themselves.

Is that what those tires are called, tracked? Sorry if this seems like a silly question. Born and raised in the south and I have never seen these in my 40+ years on Earth. They're really cool looking. Do you know if they work when there isn't snow, or do they have to change them in and out all winter?

@NPzed 2 жыл бұрын
@@illbeyourstumbleine Those are tracks. There are a number of different makers/brands and some folks have even made their own. You could technically use them anywhere but non-soft environments (e.g. bare pavement) would cause accelerated wear if not damage after enough time/distance (so not advisable). I'm not sure what Casey does, but some folks in recovery would probably leave them on as a dedicated tracked vehicle. But those do appear to be able to be removed and swapped back to normal rubber tires if desired.

@@NPzed thank you so much for taking time out to answer my question so thoroughly, I really appreciate it. Like I said, I am from the south born and raised, but we are looking for land near the mountains (not sure on Rocky or Appalachian yet) in the next couple years to start a small farm. Just farming for ourselves, nothing big or agricultural. I think some call it homesteading, but others say homesteading was were you claimed free land and you can't do that anymore...but I think you catch my drift. Just trying to learn all I can, and do what I can hands on to prepare myself for the move. Can't wait to have snow!

You guys are great! Out there freezing your tail off and helping people. You're the best. My husband and I at one time owned a home at over 10,000 ft high in the Colorado mountains. We were the only ones that lived there year 'round. For everyone else it was their second homes for weekends and such. Inevitably people would knock on our door looking for help because we were the only house with lights on. Folks just don't know how deep the snow gets up that high. Folks and their kids would stay with me to have hot chocolate while my husband would go pull their vehicle out. And cellphones didn't have a signal that high up. They could use our landline to let their loved ones know what was going on. It's a good feeling to help people out. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks again and God bless you!

Thank you for doing this. I live in Vermont so we see a lot of this type of weather. About 5 years ago my car slipped off our roads with front wheels on the edge of a ledge. My cell phone battery was dead so couldn’t call anyone. I kept beeping my horn hoping someone could hear it but no one came out of nearby houses. My son-in- law happened by on his way home and tried to pull me out with his pickup but didn’t work. I didn’t dare take my foot off the brake and put in park as I was afraid it would roll forward the few inches I had left under the front tires. A young women from New Jersey who was visiting her grandparents further up our road pulled her Jeep up and pulled me out no problem. She wouldn’t accept any kind of payment except a hug. Thank God for good people like her and you and Grumpy. BTW I now own the typical car in Vermont, a Subaru. No problems now

It really helps to read your owner's manual to understand how your traction control/stability control systems work in these newer vehicles. They will aid in preventing you from getting stuck, but should you GET stuck anyways, they will prevent wheel spin which you need in order to get unstuck. That is why there is a button on your dash to disable the traction control system in these situations, like Casey explained to the customer of the VW. This also brings to light the importance of having some emergency supplies in your vehicle when traveling. Water, blankets, fire starter, first aid, etc

@@Hammerdak you'd be surprised how many new AWD and 4WD Vehicles have no ability to control this. The new Subaru's do not let you turn off all of the nannies. It's amazingly annoying. Thankfully I have a WRX (which can disable all Computer assistance outside of ABS) which even being lower and on HP Summer Tires was able to drive through snow, in the Hills outside Pittsburgh, just as deep as this. Put the sucker in 2nd and just let all 4 spin to gain some traction and as long as I didn't have to keep momentum up a steep long hill I could make it work. But that's more driver ability than anything else.

I grew up in Central Oregon, Bend, LaPine, Gilchrist, and enjoy seeing what it is like now. A little bit of ancient history: when my grandfather lived in Lapine way back in the late 40s, early 50s, there was no electricity to the town. He was part of the Rural Electrification Association to bring electricity to the area for the first time. That shows how long it took to bring things others had to the rural Western US. Keep up the good work rescuing people who think they can drive anywhere in any conditions!

I was just today thinking that I shouldn’t ever drive through there ever again as it’d probably be too sad. We had 50 acres on the Old Bend Redmond Highway from 1969 until the early 80s when my father took jerkdom to another level. Full-on view of the Three Sisters and Black Butte … used to float down the irrigation ditches in summer. Rattle our brains loose hitting all that volcanic rock on those dusty dirt roads riding our banana seat bikes. I remember that intense hit of sage brush we’d get after driving from Portland . Can only imagine how things would be different if they’d held onto that land.

Those tow eyes are great in theory, but there is usually a bunch of junk on top of the spare tire, then the cover gets stuck on so you wind up scratching the bumper getting it open, then something is full of snow, then you drop the thing and can’t find it, then whatever else, and on and on. Or just loop onto a control arm. Or the eye is missing, which also happens.

Working in muddy slick conditions on a sparsely populated reservation and BOTH our 2wd pickups slid helplessly into the deep ditch (I tried pulling my coworker out and it didn't work 🙃 I just ended up in front of her in the ditch). We were SCREWED with poor cell reception in the area... No word of a lie -- moments later, a huge front-end loader crested the hill and a beautiful indigenous man emerged and pulled both our sorry butts out of the ditch. I hugged him and thanked him -- he was so kind. It was so incredibly fortuitous for us. I never will forget that experience. Bless your hearts for what you do! ♥
