I got called by a couple who was stranded in a mountain top lookout tower by a surprise snow that came a day early. They had planned to leave that morning before the snow came the following evening, but when they woke up they were greeted by around 18” of snow that their Subaru couldn’t get through. What they didn’t know was that down the mountain farther the snow was WAY worse and they were in a lot more serious of a situation than they thought.
When they called me, we decided that since there was no more snow coming that day or night, it would make sense to wait until the following day so that we had a full day to perform the rescue, and that allowed me to formulate a better plan. Since this was so far away from home, and was so deep into the wilderness, I didn’t want to try this one alone. So I called my buddy Adam with Remote Access Medical, and he brought along his medic Bryan to help out.
The following morning we took my American Track Truck @Jeep, and Adam’s @AmericanExpeditionVehicles Prospector up and
ran into FAR more snow than we were expecting. We ended up hitting about 4’ of snow at a very low elevation and all came to the conclusion that there was no way that car was getting out in one piece, so this was most likely turning into a people rescue mission, not a vehicle recovery. After an hour and a half of pushing through the snow, we finally made it to the top were we had a long conversation with the owners and they made the call to take the risk, and try to get the car out anyways.

Thank you for rescuing my son. He's incredibly lucky to have you and your team available. I'm so glad nobody actually needed the medics but it was a really good idea to bring them along. Those are amazing machines I had no idea even existed so I learned a lot as well. Hope he did too. 🙄

The ad revenue and advertising for his company make up for it. RU-vid isn't like the glory days, but with 125k subscribers, I'm sure his ad revenue just from the channel, and not even counting actual towing revenue, fully pays for all his fuel and equipment and overhead, and insurance. So the hundreds of dollars daily for towing goes right in his pocket. He seems nice. But he's not doing this for free. Nor should he. 😂

@CaseyLaDelle Год назад

@@sasquatchrosefarts actually, the subscriber number has absolutely ZERO relationship to how much RU-vid pays. My pay is based on video view numbers, and watch time hours. I actually lose money on the vast majority of these videos, and then every so often one will do good enough to make up for the losses. Some months that will happen a few times, some months it doesn’t happen at all. As a matter of fact, I haven’t had a profitable month since May. The towing company doesn’t make any money. RU-vid completely killed the towing business and it’s done a grand total of 5 paying jobs this year. That’s actually why I bought the big truck and am hesitant to film most of the jobs I do with it. I needed something that would provide a consistent profitable income without relying on RU-vid, because RU-vid is definitely not paying the bills. Between the jobs and RU-vid, I put in far more hours now, and bring in less money, than I did when it was just me and my one little truck going to work every day.

@CaseyLaDelle Год назад

A lot of people suggest a snowplow, but there’s very good reason we don’t use one. Number one is that there is no way in hell any normal sized vehicle is pushing through that deep of snow with a plow. Keep in mind that there was another foot to foot and a half of snow under how far we were sinking down in that intro clip. Notice that the highway departments all over the country use full size dump trucks loaded with weight in the back to plow through up to a couple feet of FRESH snow, and then have to switch to snowblowers when it gets any deeper than that. It’s simply not feasible/possible to plow roads all over the forests, especially once we get a little later into the season and the snow hardens up. The other reason is that we are not the only ones who use these roads and trails. These are all winter recreation areas used by off readers, snowmobilers, skiers, and snow shoers. The forest service would never allow us to destroy their winter recreation areas to save someone’s vehicle. This particular road we were on is one of those areas that closes to wheeled vehicles in less than two weeks and becomes a very popular snowmobile trail for the rest of the season. Removing all the snow from a major snowmobile trail right before it opens is simply NOT an option, even if it was possible to do so. Long story short, plow blades are cheap and if they actually worked for the type of recoveries I do, I would already have one.

@seannordeen5019 Год назад

I wasn't so much thinking of a real plow, just something triangular on the front since your front grill seemed to be pushing snow at times anyway, where the bottom wouldn't go below your bumper/frame but would help keeping the snow from building up on the front of the vehicle. That's just the engineer in me trying to find solutions to every minor issue.

@subarutime5089 Год назад

I have a snow sport plow it's light and has a rubber bottom doesn't tare up the ground like others just a thought love the vids .

@CaseyLaDelle Год назад

@@seannordeen5019 that creates another problem, because now you’re lifting your vehicle off the snow, which decreases traction.

I used to cross country ski on all the back roads in New Hampshire. I would be pretty ticked off if some clown had plowed it when I got there

@ZARGON the only snowcat that would be practical for me would be a Tucker Terra Light with all rubber tracks. But even that couldn’t plow a road like that, and I wouldn’t want to plow a road like that anyways

When you finally bring your purchase out where she can see it and she asks 'when did you get that', you reply 'oh, I have had it in the garage for sometime'. Problem solved.

the weather in the cascades is very unpredictable no matter where you are, north or south. it's a nasty mountain range for weather... one time i was in the north cascades during august, beautiful 75-degree day. in the time span of 90 minutes, it went from sunny 75 degrees to overcast 28 degrees, 25mph wind with snow, then back to sunny 75 degrees. no warning, nothing like that in the forecast.

It was great at the end when Casey figured out how a Subaru made it up to the tower. The couple being rescued were pretty cool. He was obviously down for an adventure--didn't get to have it on skis, so he bolted out of there in his newly freed Subaru to go make an adventure out of his 3.5 hour ride home. Nice video as always.

I probably would of asked to do the same can we try get my car down even if it does get damaged. GREAT JOB EVERYONE! 👍

Many years ago a few friends and I were riding our dirt bikes up in the mountains in the spring. We were east of Hagelstien Park. (Next to Klamath Lake) The snow was still frozen, and we could go anywhere. We went for miles up to a look-out. We went up and ate our lunch admiring the awesome view. We decided to head back, fired up the bikes and went about a foot, and went in clear to the frame. We tried to pack a trail to get some speed up, but it was no use. We were about 9 miles from bare roads, and 30 miles from the trucks. So we just had to build a fire and wait until it froze up again, (we hoped), and then ride out. By about 12:AM, it had frozen up enough that we could go. We did need to keep our speed up, but we did make it out. Only one of us had lights (me), so I was in the lead, and I was also the one that found all of the soft spots. LOL This was in the early 70s. The wives were less than pleased, but were happy that we at least made it out.

@drengr2759 8 месяцев назад

It's a lot of people's dreams, but in reality everyone I've ever met would go insane after the first 3 months. Most people could never handle solitary confinement, no matter what they say. People in prison can survive days or weeks in solitary. Less than 1% can survive months or years in solitary, and even then, there is still plenty of human contact every few weeks. You have to be a true lone wolf to survive, and actually crazy to really enjoy the minimum 7 months of isolation. Cell service would be an extreme luxury where I live, but without solar panels a phone would be a worthless brick in the first few weeks. You would also need some basic knowledge in the local flora, because even if you could collect enough meat for the entire winter, you would likely die from scurvy. There are enough vitamins available even in winter (vitamin C is critical), but you would NEED to know every possible source, and collection, and prep methods. My dad and I did a week with no food, no guns, and only a fishing pole. The lakes we lived near were an easy luxury, but in November the ice fishing was awful. We caught 3 small trout after about 70 hours of ice fishing. Spruce tea became a staple, and while tasty at first, it was miserable by day 5. It gave us a few mandatory nutrients but after 7-8 months of winter it would have been intolerable. My slingshot bagged us a porcupine, and that was a huge morale booster. It tasted awful but I've been told that it can taste great if prepared properly. Something I learned on that trip was that salt is infinitely more valuable than a hatchet. Unfortunately halite is impossible to find in winter, so a large solid brick of salt would be essential for any extended trip. (I've never seen nor heard of a "survivalist" talking about how important salt is.) If we had a gun and it was legal to do so, we could easily have had a few elk and a moose; fine for protein, calories and basic nutrients for the winter, but still deadly without other options.

Very lucky couple. Casey to the recovery. (And Nate)! Wise idea to keep all three rigs together. Usually, misery loves company but in this case, it turned into relief and fun. Actually, I thought the couple in the car were constantly beeping horn to stop. NO, just creative censorship. Nate was a hoot for ride along, he should be with you more often. Grumpy and Ben stayed by their respective wood stoves. (Wise choice). The recovered couple will have another adventure about their life story. The worry was not about snow to deep at the tower, but running out of supplies. Do I hear the William Tell Ovature playing in the background.......Hi O Silver....aaawwwwaaaayyyy!

I think the reason these and Matt’s videos are so good is because there’s a story arc every time. You start with a problem, begin perpetration and the journey there, you go through struggles and challenging situations, and usually, end up coming away victorious.

@Fix_It_Again_Tony Год назад

That's a really good observation. Also, the manufactured drama in so much of what is on actual TV these days is like a caricature of real life. The writers of those shows (even the "reality" shows) make it so extreme that it is readily noticeable and very unrealistic. These RU-vid videos are just people doing their jobs and you get the same arc, but the level of drama is so much more authentic. If this was a television show the tracked jeep would have thrown a track, or the Ram would have gotten stuck and needed pulled out. Maybe one of the campers would be suffering from a medical emergency. Here they we just stuck, which is still a very life threatening situation. There was a tough choice to make about leaving the car or not. And, like you observed, we have a Hollywood ending.

Years ago (maybe 35) a couple of older guys got caught in an early snow at high elevation during deer season. They were many days over due and search and rescue were looking for them for days. Chopper finally spotted them and air lifted them out. Their truck with camper stayed there till spring thaw. The guys were none the worse for wear, food, or water when rescued. They had begun to ration their meals though. Said they could hear CB radio traffic talking about them and searching for them but couldn't reach them with their radio. A lesson or two learned. Winter weather is unforgiving of mistakes. Been there seen and done that.

Seeing the rescuers cars struggle, and then a Subaru comfortably sliding behind them was pretty funny. They are so lucky to get out this way! Good to hear that (part of) the Red Cherokee is still saving other people's day.

Nice! That scenery was beautiful and that lookout tower was awesome! Love how well the jeep did with the tracks. I thought that Subaru was going to be a snow plow. 😂 what gloves are you wearing? Those are nice.

Casey your AWESOME. Thank you for everything you do.

Great to see Prof out there doing good works for the community, not just making bangers.

I wonder if a small, partial plow-like device could be rigged to clear some of the snow from the front of the vehicle being towed. It wouldn't have to clear down to the ground or even the full width, but it could help keep the snow from building up in front of the towed vehicle, reducing drag. The small plow could be attached in the rigging between the two vehicles. Loved the entire video. New subscriber! Shared video with friends.

When you said a Subaru was at the top, I pictured that guy exactly. Go figure.

@ireneshafer4821 Год назад

That was sooo unbelievable! Talk about snow, you guys hit the mother load! Glad that it turned out okay for everyone! Love the Jeeps performance! 💯👍😎

The best VIDIO ever, casey you make the best vid , Dont stop.

@nunyabuisness6840 Год назад

Has a tracked jeep , can't pull a car through the snow. This is why I love my Ford no tracks and I could have easily pulled that car out without damaging anything. Thats still a good man for going to help them

@theincredulousr Год назад

Casey, having watched your videos for well over a year now I have to say that they just get better and better and I enjoyed this one the most. Might be because I am slightly obsessed with firewatch towers and would love to do what those people did (hopefully not get stuck though) but also because it all looked amazing. You will always be helped by the amazing scenery but you also had to get those shots and piece them together. It was a proper adventure - will they make it? will they find the tower? will they get the car out? with a bit of road trip and buddy movie thrown in for good luck. Watched a lot of TV shows that are on a vastly bigger budget fail to produce something as interesting as this. I thought from the title that you had had to bunk down in the lookout tower because of the storm, would be interested to watch a video with a stay in the tower if you get a chance. looking forward to the next adventure!

@JimmyMoultray Год назад

I'm really enjoying the beauty and simplicity of the outside the jeep shots on the way up to the lookout, especially as opposed to static mounted inside shots with talking the entire time. Y'all really hit a nice balance! Nice camera work on your absolutely elated buddy riding up with you, loved seeing his happiness at just being a part of the whole endeavor. ❤

Having Nate on here made it funnier. He's such a nice funny guy. Absolutely love your vlogs!

@bobbaker8263 Год назад

Awesome feat considering the amount of snow. I’m sure they were grateful. Well done.

Such a cool rescue! Thanks for filming

@colinschenck2129 Год назад

Would love to be stranded in a lookout tower away from society for awhile. Sounds like heaven

@ranzocolo9916 Год назад

You are so Amazing Casey! You and everyone that helped are God sent. Y'all are awesome! Thanks for all you do!💖

This was a great adventure video. The track jeep did amazing. I was also impressed with the pickup with the mondo tires, I was surprised how well it did. Although I think your tracks breaking the snow helped them too. That couple was so lucky that first there was a vehicle like yours available, and second that the Subaru when rigged like you did just became a big toboggan and was able to sled across that deep snow. Shows where you don't think about where and when going camping means risking your life, and the loss of use of your car for six months, and it may be parted out like the leftovers you pull out during the forest cleanup days when you do get to it.

I had to chain up this morning on 84 right after I crossed into Oregon in the big white UPS semi so I could make it to the hub in Hermiston, fun fun had two flats when I got to the building!

@gerricklovenstein8505 Год назад

When he said “we might have to shovel intermittently” I lost it 😂

@paulparadis916 Год назад

What an Amazing recovery, you never fail to impress me with what you do best. The two you rescued should consider them selves very lucky to have good people like you that can get the job done. Looks like a great snowmobile season is getting under way for you guy's there. Nate time to get some sleds and race those. Do you think a trail groomer would have made this easier for you? I know out here in the east they make the trails look like highways. Anyway thanks for taking us all along on this one. Just super!!!

@aliceevans3357 Год назад

I hope Nate can join you on more recoveries. He's a cool guy, you two are hilarious together, and I think he really enjoyed the adventure. I would not have bet that vehicle would come out unscathed, but I'm glad everything went so well. Gosh I hate snow! I have worked in it, shoveled it, driven in it, wrecked in it- not my fault! enough in my life. I wouldn't mind if I never seen any again. You guys stay safe in it, and GOD bless.

@desertdove754 Год назад

World class vid, Casey. Wow, well done, heros! Thanking you for posting this and for the example you and your friends set. Good job and God bless you, and all hidden heros round the world. 😇🙏🕊️🎶🤗🥰👍

I love the 4x4 Wood blocks used to get on and off the trailer smoothly. Such a simple solution to a problem. 👍

@bryanmitchell5790 Год назад

Nice recovery, yeah by yourself that would’ve been pretty nerve-racking, and the Subaru did better than we all thought, good job

@jabjab1010 Год назад

Having soloed on the ocean, I am a firm believer of having three qualified crew. there is perfect and each has a particular set of skills. . .Well done.

Wow that was a wild video that track system work great on that jeep❤❤

@sandyposey8074 Год назад

That was awesome! I would have loved to be on that recovery! Fun in the snow! So glad you got the car out and I'm sure they were happy too! Yay Nate got first! Thanks to everyone who went with you. I agree, would have made me feel better too.

@hartstudebakerkid Год назад

Lived on a mountain pass for thirty years.....you get real tired of the stupid people fast.

@markothevrba 9 месяцев назад

You could put a snow plow on that jeep. With those tracks it wouldn't have any problem pushing a little bit of snow and the car behind would be safe, plus you'd clear the road for anyone else that might use it.

@rpm2dayg648 9 месяцев назад

He was towing a snowplow, haha.

@aliassmithandjones9453 Год назад

I'm impressed that Dodge was able to follow you in wow (btw many fire lookouts are available for rental in the off season. We rented the Green Ridge LO for New Years Eve a few years back). Furthermore had that car been left at the tower odds are the rodents would eat the wiring and brake lines

@TheBrohamExpress Год назад

This is pretty much my dream vacation, but in a tower with food, heat and the internet!

@johnlyngdal8601 Год назад

I've stayed at that lookout years ago. It was during the late summer, but I still drove my trusty XJ just in case the weather turned bad. No way would I drive a stock Subaru to that location in the winter. Glad that you were able to get them and the vehicle back to civilization.

@fpv88hsv Год назад

The clear weather made this a deceptively beautiful rescue.

@SeeCrum Год назад

I want all videos from now on to have Nate, Adam and Brian and TONS of snow!! Maybe all time favorite. Loved the full send the Subaru guy did onto the highway! I almost was hoping we could get stuck over thanksgiving so we could call you, but not enough snow… yet! Keep up the great content.

@buddythompson7797 Год назад

Great video. Love the scenery and views from mountains. I t was nice to see that you guys were able to get the car out. I thought they were going to crash into the barrier when getting on the road way.
