Off Roading A 102 Year Old Car Goes WRONG! (Rescue mission)

This is absolutely my favorite rescue that I've ever done and I don't know if anything will be able to top it! The Central Oregon T-Bums are a group of antique car enthusiasts who go on overloading and off road trips in there 100+ year old cars. They take these things places that a lot of modern rigs won't go and do it just like it was done back in the old days! On their latest trip they were in the middle of the Ochoco National Forest when they got caught in a surprise thunderstorm that saturated the area. They had to take shelter in their cars and by the time the storm had passed, the ground was so muddy that they couldn't get out. So they stayed the night in the woods, and then I headed out the next day with my @Jeep TJ-6 to try and get them out. Once we got to them it had dried out enough that some were able to make it out on their own, and were then able to recover the others, but the 1921 Studebaker was stuck pretty bad. So we used a combination of winching with my @harborfreight Apex winch, and pulling with my @YankumRopes to get it free and up the hill. By that time another thunder storm was coming in fast and we had to get out of the woods as the thunder and lighting started coming in behind us.

By far my favorite!

Casey. Thanks for rescuing these guys. I know a couple of them. We belong to some of the same vintage camping collectives, as well as the Model T Ford Club of America. They are not the only crazy group to use their cars off road. We have members who have driven from Texas to Alaska. One guy who logs as much as 10, 000 miles a year in his T mostly gravel and off road. We live in the Ozarks of Arkansas and use our 27 T and vintage camping equipment to run trails and camp in the Ozark National 0:13 Forest of Arkansas and Missouri as much as we can. We need more young guys to pick up the torch and keep these old cars in the woods. Nice video, and thanks again ..

Your favorite recovery is my favorite video. Anyone who purposely takes cars like that off-roading has my ultimate respect and you know theyre a group of guys that never have bad days, just days with more with better stories. You definitely need to take a trip with them some day even if you just have the TJ as a support vehicle because their adventures deserve to be documented. I challenge anyone to show me an offroad club in this country that has more bragging rights than these guys. Henry Ford would be proud!🇺🇲

As a guy who has loved the Model T since I was 11, back in 1965, this was the coolest rescue EVER!!! That poor Studebaker sure didn't like mud. And, for the young viewers, that really was the way roads were back in the early 1900's, and Model T's were the 4wd's of their day. Great Video, Casey!!

My mother was born in 1919 and grew up in the out back of Australia. There were no made roads and she used to tell stories about cars like these getting bogged in mud and in sand, and it taking many hours to travel the 100 miles to the nearest town. She died in 2016 I wish she could have seen this video, she would have loved it. I loved watching it. Thank you.

[@glenmiller8888]

I just posted this on a Motorcycle forum I belong to, that video was OUTSTANDING THANK YOU!!! First I want to share with members of the forum, this "Casey", is just a outstanding guy, I have seen him help basically a homeless person, living out of a car-stuff some money between the locked car door, then tow this car for free-YES KZbin helps him by paying him with his videos-watch him enough and and you see the REAL person, who lives in Oregon, has a huge heart and I have helped him in many ways ( buying some hats and hoodies)-The entertainment value is just outstanding. Watch and see a Ford with wooden wheels go where only a jeep can go, and he has TIRE chains on those wooden wheels-Just outstanding!!

[@damnbadger8242]

This video just had it all! From recovery, with these cool older folks and ancient vehicles, to beautifull scenery, thunderstorms, a tree on fire!, raging water, fighting birds of prey, washed out roads, to that cool older bearded mister almost walking into that rattlesnake. You were sharp on that one, don't think he heard it! That must have been the day for ya'll Casey and Jeremy. I forwarded this one to my buddies, hoping they get into your channel, cheers from the Netherlands.

Casey, I failed to mention just how incredible I found this video!! Who would’ve imagined?! I bet “Grumpy” would’ve loved this. Makes me proud to see that everyone in this video knows how the ground will change as the sun warms things up and when a storm is inbound, they know the urgency of their short window of opportunity. When a person (Man or woman) can look up at the clouds around them they can tell if something is brewing and how bad, that’s the kind of person you can trust in the woods! Well done on the editing! We should call this group the; “empty holster gang” or; “over the hill gang” lol. Great men to hang around!

[@wrangler6977]

Excellent video recovery of the original off road vehicles. Would have been even more fun if Grumpy could have joined all of you, he would have been in his own element out there with all of you. Of course he would have been the one to find the rattle snake.

So cool to see that ol studebaker out there like that. I used to work with the guy that owns it, Linus. Awesome dude and awesome car.

[@ronsereda4242]

Let me see if I got this right: Get your senior citizen buddies together. Strap every artifact from the Louis and Clark expedition onto your 100 year old cars and head off into the backwoods during an epic storm. Swamp two of them in a flooded creek. Drain 4 gallons of creek water out of the crankcase then start it on the first tug of the hand crank and head off across a boulder mine field on 100 year old wooden spoke wheels, century old axles and springs while your buddy is putting out a potential forest fire by himself with a broken bucket and wet shirt. Walk back to fetch your lost wheel to reinstall with a makeshift bolt. Ponder whether any of these incidents are enough to earn the golden Turd award. And by the way, don't step on the rattle snake!!! Here's me, sitting on the couch watching KZbin videos. In my next life I want to be one of these guys!

This brings back memories of working with an older gentleman back a (while) ago. He used to tell of the time in his childhood when they were traveling on dirt roads and his father would just turn loose of the steering wheel at 30 miles an hour. The tires would follow the ruts in the "road" they traveled, his mom screaming all the time. He called following those ruts "cooning the edges." I enjoyed the video very much and wouldn't minded if had been longer. Those cars had to be tough because they were the truly the first off-road vehicles because back when they were built there weren't a lot of paved, much less, gravel roads.

[@jer4whlr0210]

Awesome video and recovery Casey!! One of your best. These guys are epic! We need to remember that they faced these kind of road conditions every day back when these vehicles came out. Loved it!!

My Grandparents immigrated to Canada from Nebraska sometime around 1910. Watching this makes me wonder what their trip was like.

You amaze me, in almost every episode, yet still lupine flowers and a fighting eagle and hawk were not among my expectations 💜💙 And that was only the modest entrée… Oh, and a serious rattlesnake for desert. Nice camerawork, Jeremy.

Great video never seen anything like this before, 102 year old car out wheeling on forest roads, and all the other cool stuff we saw.

That looked like an awesome day, those older guys are fantastic. Out with old cars, pushing them hard and just having fun. I want to do that now lol

In the early 20th century, when paved roads were a rarity, the Ford Model T was in its prime, effortlessly cruising along dusty and bumpy country lanes. Its robust construction and adaptability made it the ideal vehicle for these challenging terrains, demonstrating its true capabilities and durability.

Thank you Casey. I wanted to see your jeep pulled out of the mud by a model T😂😂😂

Amazingly, those conditions would have been considered "good" when those cars were New! Love that these guys are driving them like they were made to do! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
