The best part about Casey calling out Bruce ….Is Bruce’s response video….especially the I hate Casey LaDelle shirt that Bruce is wearing…

And that shirt which apparently was a gift from Casey…

[@michaelcook184]

You might not be the best off road recovery person but you think on your feet which make a great recovery person

[@heruhcanedean]

He never claimed to be good at it

[@jtw9840]

I didn't get the Bruce Cook tongue-in-cheek jab until I read the comments. I went from a bit confused to "that's pretty mean" to "Oh, I see" as I read. As far as this recovery went, you started out with the goal of helping someone in trouble (important) got in some trouble yourself, and then helped each other out to get to safety. While that may not have been a rousing success, it was in no way a failure in my book. 🥛🍪 (Couldn't find a chocolate milk emoticon, so here's a plain milk and a chocolate chip cookie. Cheers.)

[@tedfisk1211]

The thing about Casey is that he is prepared for nearly the worst. His vehicles have stuff in them to help the rescues and recoveries. He is also a thinker and figures out how to use ropes and winches to get the ordeal over and successful. Sure, the whole situation went to s***, but he put his brain in gear and everything worked out.

[@IslandTiger2]

Exactly! He has an impressive amount of tricks and fixes and work arounds in his back pocket !

[@ianmcnaney6528]

Absolutely. He really should have a pair of waders, or at least rubber rain boots, given all the times he's trying to pick his way through knee deep muck.

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Was actually quite surprised that you didn't bring out the tracks/pickup

[@olexandrs3385]

Same

[@Dg4466]

That’s what I was thinking? Is it down?

[@reese5212]

He sold the tracks, they were listed on marketplace a few weeks ago. It sounds like he still had them when the video was recorded, but maybe he already had a buyer and didn't want to use them.

[@Dg4466]

Struggling with money??? You’d think tracks would be high priority for snow recovery

[@Chevyman02]

I appreciate your honesty about anxiety. You do a good job of hiding it. I'm a sixty four year old retired firefighter who was forced to retire due to severe anxiety. As much as possible try to put things in perspective and realize all you can do is all you can do. Anxiety does not disappear when the job is done, it compounds in your soul and takes more and more out of you.

[@susanhayward9719]

Casey, believe this, I was so anxious watching this (and it just kept snowing) but was able to watch to the end because I knew you would succeed.

[@PoorWays]

Thanks Casey, actually thought you despised Bruce Cook, watched him do a solo recover and was inspired! You took the hit to help a good guy, you're heart is worth it's weight in gold!

[@dancarter482]

Many years ago I got trusted with the company Unimog to go collect a big stump grinder. Out for the day driving a Unimog by myself - dream job with a big responsibility. Got all the tricky urban stuff done and was heading back feeling overconfident when I encountered some military guys stuck in a ditch. Like a fool I offered to haul them out. Everything went to Hell in a handbasket. Blocked the road, broke the back window in the cab, nearly flipped the army wagon, jack-knifed my trailer and got jammed, got a big chain knotted round the front linkage on the mog. Left a huge mess in the road and limped back into the yard, late and ashamed! I feel your pain.

[@timothyearp631]

"Hey, you can't park there!" (Chevy part- "that's my que") *CLACK!*

[@tomg6214]

Casey, we love the ZackLift and the Heavy Recoveries. We love the off-road recoveries too. We love the PLSBend clean-ups. We love the maintenance day videos - at home, at Nate’s, or at Ben’s!! We love the adventure across the mountains, deserts, and the flatlands videos. If you are not nervous on a recovery, then you are not thinking, and that is when the real danger starts. You are always thinking!!! Also, when you go into the woods, you have backup plans for your backup plans for your plans (front winch, back winch, extra fuel, Yankum ropes, air down, compressor, etc.)! You are prepared!!! Ethan is a great partner because he is always thinking, asking, questioning and has loads of experience too! He makes the team better!

[@chriskonvalin6396]

"What if" is a great game is how experienced real people survive. You are doing good.

[@nickbailey7822]

Genuinely good work! Calm, cool, and collected. Made due when things went wrong. Like Ethan said, no one was hurt, customers vehicle out in one piece, and he’s got the best bar story for his buddies a guy could ask for. “I saved @caseyladelle!” Instantly coolest guy in the room 😂

[@mwb3984]

Casey - as a lifelong (68 yrs) in-the-mud forester and outdoor recreator, you are doing just fine. I would take you on as a field team member anytime, anyplace. You are a testament to the USMC motto of Adapt & Overcome. So relax just a bit and get that chocolate milk!

[@bigchevy350boy]

Don't leave without me!! 🤣 Great job guys!! 🤘 That customer was wicked cool

[@IslandTiger2]

A skillful sailor was never made by smooth seas. This actually showcases your skills , and fluid adjustment to challenges. Please keep doing off road recovery! This is what I keep coming back for , the creative adaptation to challenges in a beautiful surroundings

[@richardraleigh6490]

Casey, when I watched your short the other day about BruceCook, I started to get upset, because I watch his channel, also. But when I realized what you were doing, I had to laugh. I hope it helps him. On this video, I can totally relate to what you are feeling, and saying. I grew up (in the 60s) helping my dad do similar recoveries with his '42 Dodge Army surplus 4x4 w/PTO winch on the front. Lots of mechanical failures, bad weather, etc, but he always got the job done. Just keep on doing you. The fact that it bothers you shows that your intentions are right! I'll keep waching!!!

[@lynconner6276]

Casey, you did a good job with all the obstacles presented in a foot of snow. It was a great video with all the challenges you faced. Problem solving is your super power, so be kind to yourself. I so happy you share an honest video of your adventures. I'm proud of you.

[@maryannardan4159]

Casey, just love how real you are on all of your videos. You have so much determination and heart to help those poor souls that are stuck. I just love how you just keep thinking how to get out of each situation. God bless you and your family and keep being that person that you are.

[@user-pf6sn8rd2l]

Everything went wrong. You literally lost every battle on this mission, yet no one got hurt, no property was damaged, and everyone got out safely. I would call that a completely successful mission! And the customer got a free tow and a great story about having to tow Casey to safety. And we all got some great life lessons. This may be your best video yet! Thanks for keeping it real and honest.

[@IslandTiger2]

I agree completely! This might be my favorite video yet! He almost made it look to easy ! He had a fix for every problem

Days like this are humbling. Keep pulling brother

[@user-md8si9te8o]

Casey, I appreciate your willingness to be so vulnerable and post this video. You.re human and things happen. You showed that perseverance and taking the time to think through the situation can still work to a positive outcome. And as stated before, the demonstration of team work despite your broken front end provided a way to get both vehicles out.

[@WileysShenanigans]

What your good at Casey is putting yourself out there and being vulnerable to help people that dont have an option for getting themselves out of a bad situation. If you werent willing to face your fears and anxiety, lives could be lost and at a minimum the people that you are helping would become overwhelmed by anxiety because they dont know what to do and have become desperate. Over time your experience will overcome your anxiety if you keep in mind that what you do matters more even when your afraid than the people that are desperate and have no means tor helping themselves. You're the most courageous and considerate guy out there making a difference in peoples lives when it matters most. If you weren't, the masses wouldnt be tuning in. What you're doing gives people confidence to live there lives even if they have challenges to overcome as you do. Thanks for doing it all with grace and humility! You are making a difference.

[@globalgyro]

GREAT JOB CASEY! Especially your slightly underhanded hat tip to Bruce. I went to his channel and subscribed, as I am certain many others did. Brice has some serious grit - out there getting it DONE in spite of a “little” impediment. A very determined man, and an inspiration to this old post-stroke man to get out and do whatever I can still do! Thanks for pointing us to him Casey!

[@petgranny194]

You are great at entertaining us! You clearly had a rough day. Not a total failure - everyone got home! As always, thanks for taking us along.

[@TheImmortalsCa]

My note on it would be. Customer was stuck and spent the night. Casey went in to get them and in the end, everyone got out. Success in my book.

[@SwirlingSoul]

Your stubborn is fed by perseverance. What are you good at? At not giving up. You didn't give up. I'd have called for help the first time I'd gotten stuck, right there. You worked right through every problem. Now, that is not just stubborn. That is real help. Even if a bit delayed. And you got both of the cars out. You didn't have to stay a night. It got solved by working together. That's just good teamwork. Yes to the COCO! ...aww... was that the coco that was not there?

[@neilmalloch8658]

Thank you for letting us enjoy you having to adapt to get you and the customer out when things didn’t go as planned. You usually make recovery look routine so it was great watching what you called a “fail” but I’d refer to as adapt and succeed.

[@alearn3312]

It's amazing to watch your videos Casey! Thank you for sharing. I'm an old fashioned man in my 70's and follow Geo-politics a lot. Your videos show your innate honor. Your self-deprecating sense of humor that you share with us helps a bring that across. It's such a break to see this for me. Thank you!

[@henrycarlson7514]

Interesting , Thank You . Another fine example of working together. As to Ethan , In my opinion he will do what he will do what works for the mission . Eventually i think that he will go on his own missions and that way you CAN be in 2 places at the same time. The descision is you'rs. Happy trails

[@RoryMitchell00]

I have the feeling that the next time the tracked vehicle comes out, and Casey says: "I know it's a bit of overkill for this job.", there will be a: "Remember the Alamo" moment that references back to this unfortunate situation. Seriously though, considering how much effort you put into maintaining your equipment, thinking through the safest and best way to do recoveries, etc, I don't think you have any reason to feel awkward at all about the rare mishap that occurs. I'd bet significant money that you have far fewer of these problems than most other people, and the only real difference is that you have video of the few times it happens, which makes it seem far more impactful than it should be. That's all.

[@B4UClose]

Tracks are sold and gone by now.

[@jhaedtler]

Great video! Any thing can get stuck, What you do about it is what counts!

[@tomfarnsworth950]

This is the best video you've made. Anyone who would showcase their own pitfalls and do everything possible to complete the recovery is in a special class. I enjoyed watching this immensely. Your customer was a class act with great driving skills, along with a great ability to follow instructions. The whole thing was impressive.

[@danburch9989]

I have to admit, you're one hell of a resourseful recovery expert. When the going gets tought, the tough gets going. Every recovery has some unknowns. You're dependent upon the customer to give information that may not be accurate or complete. But they aren't experts. Your customer, I imagine, also shares your anxiety wondering if he'd even be able to call for help. In the end, a successful recovery.

[@ronaldrussell5481]

Don't punish yourself mentally, you ARE trying to help, that's the important part. And you do have the necessary equipment and know how to use it, that's a BIG plus! Everything didn't go wrong, your winching skills are what saved the day, not everyone has that knowledge.

[@PoorWays]

Hi Casey, don't beat yourself up too much! It's jobs like this that give us those Macguyver moments that are soo great to watch! You just helped show thousands of fans what to do when the SHTF!

[@Dornacgove]

Those overexposed shots actually looked kinda cool, with the truck just floating in blown out snow Also, the cause of this was obviously passing on the opportunity to take the tracked Jeep out for a drive. I bet it sabotaged the other, wheeled Jeep to get some attention.

[@TheOnefalcon07]

I was thinking the same thing

[@allanarndt3047]

Hi Casey! I know you always want to do the best job you can for your customers but sometimes it just doesn’t happen,for those times I say two things, “SHIT HAPPENS”! and “DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL SHIT”! What counts is you try real hard to do your best!

Thanks for the recovery video Casey & Ethan. I was surprised you didn't take the track truck. No recovery goes perfect every time and this one shows the things that can go wrong, since they did. Glad the winch held up. Looking forward to the upgrades on Red. This made me miss the track jeep but I know this one will be a worthy replacement especially after the up grades.

Casey, every failure is an opportunity to learn something. This time the job wasn't really a failure as no one was hurt, everyone got to go home and no damage was done...that is a success! You can take the problems that arose as learning points though and grow in your skills and equipment. I think the best part was that as difficult as it was, you kept a positive attitude going for those around you and that (even if things are going wrong) instills confidence in those around you. There are no points taken off for everyone learning something. Good job done by all!
