Prepared for disaster. Family stranded in the wilderness.

A family was on their way home from a day of skiing when their gps led them out an unmaintained road, and they got stranded 15 miles out in the wilderness. Luckily they were very well prepared to be stuck in the elements and had all the survival supplies they needed to be comfortable for quite awhile in the woods.
I took my Ram 3500 tow truck up with the 37" tires on it was able to get them pulled right out with my @YankumRopes and headed back down the mountain.

The kids saying thank you ; Priceless. Assume job Casey.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Good information

[@TM-tw1py]

So thankful for the men in this world who perform such rescues!

[@brandonsearle990]

Man that is slick setup your talking about for your truck Casey. Tool box ☑️, bed cover ✔️, roof rack ✔️. That's a pretty sweet setup

[@barneygirl9643]

Awesome job!👍😎 You are always so kind to the people that you rescue😊 Keep up the great videos and stay safe out there!❤️🙏

Prepare for the worst expect the best

[@kd5nrh]

Here in TX, I was amazed in the big ice storm last year, at how many people don't even have enough blankets and/or sleeping bags at home. As soon as they announced there were power issues, I got my 30-degree-rated mummy bag and slept in it. Of course, the rating assumes you're on the ground, not on a thick memory foam mattress, so it would probably have been good down to zero. Woke up one morning to the power coming back on, stuck my face out far enough to decide it wasn't worth it to make coffee on the backpacking stove, and slept another hour in total comfort until the heater caught up.

[@TGSamantha091]

Best wishes to "Grumpy Neighbor" on his recovery from knee surgery.. We (I) look forward to his return as co pilot =)

[@deanrandall8542]

I totally agree about being prepared! If you don't want to be responsible for yourself, that's your choice, if there's children involved, you are responsible for them and their well being. So bring whatever you might need or want. Anything can happen at any time! Think about what would it take to survive for several days, it might take that long for someone to get to where you are!🙏 Please people, use common sense and always bring more than you think you should need! God bless. Be safe.👍🤔🤞🇺🇸

[@stubyjones1]

Casey could you, on you next snow recovery video, say or put on screen the elevation of where you start and the elevation of where the recovery happens? Thanks I enjoy your videos!

[@EatCarbs]

Thanks for the video

[@kellwood1404]

Excellent lighting.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

Yay, it's a new one from Casey!

[@kellytaylor8665]

[@Annie6460]

Thanks Casey. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@RickFidelisReed]

Good ADVICE. 👍🏻

[@tiddlesa.6125]

Just arrived back in Sydney from Ayres Rock in the heart of Australia and I’m watching a snow recovery. Fun!

[@donaldhalls2189]

All the best to Grumpy and a speedy recovery he dose great filming commentating, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@lloydfancett3039]

Great PSA Casey. I'm in the north east and it's amazing how many people don't plan ahead. Fantastic job and good on them for their preparation.

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

-- You make a great point about proper supplies. Always have them on hand, right down to 4 pairs of socks and an old pair of shoes. Thumbs up. You should do a video on that, Casey. Things you should carry in your vehicle at all times.

[@51WCDodge]

There is an old British Army saying, Hands, Feet, Head and Testicles. Spare socks warm them all :-)

[@RockmanDash]

@@51WCDodge Always heard the British saying spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch.

[@BrianMasters]

I use the same DJI camera. Very happy with it.

[@rickeycompton5518]

Go Casey Go love your instructions on being prepared for outings.

[@TJF8]

Nice kids....."Thank You!"

[@alucarder]

Great video

[@joevaagen6170]

Casey, don't hold your tongue when pulling people out. That would be the perfect moment to advise them that if they were to get in the same predicament that they'll have a better shot at surviving the night, day, or week especially with small children. If them getting stuck stops them from going out into the wilderness there's usually a time down the road they'll change their mind and venture out again so they'll think twice by not having at least basic cold weather gear you have literally saved their and their children's lives. When my family went camping only one and a half hour away I would pack enough gear to combat any situation that might come up.

[@stevevick9946]

Nice work Casey!

[@longviewstud26]

Another Job well done

[@alexgehring1623]

Great advice

[@paulshannon4576]

I like the tonneau cover. I tow a fifth wheel and I have a huge toolbox in the front that’s lower than the bed rails so when I roll out the tonneau cover people don’t know there’s a large toolbox underneath. I also have two Predator 3500 generators underneath the rear in the corners and it hides and protects them unless they are running.

[@susanmahna5943]

Glad you addressed the traveling preparedness....thats why vehicles have extra space... to always be prepared !!!!

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

Yuuuuup! And being prepared doesn't even have to take much active effort. Having just a small handful of survival tools in your vehicle at all times helps tremendously. A sturdy tarp, a small hatchet, a ferrous rod (for striking to make sparks), and a small, stainless steel pot is really all it takes. For food, raw honey stores forever, and potato flakes have a very broad nutrition spectrum. One little push of effort could save your life one day.

[@byronwhitney665]

Really good to see the thought, time and energy put into proper preparations. Another great PSA. YOU ARE doing great things Casey. A much needed service in your particular area!!

[@michaeldavies6580]

get well grumpy good videos casey

[@zodiac8892]

Nice job Casey, looks like you got them out just in time. 👍😊

[@roseannhellums3336]

Thank you Casey. Beautiful scenery as usual. Stay safe. Until Your next video.

[@staciamwalrus]

Yes, it's so important to always have emergency supplies in the car! So glad my parents taught me that.

[@davidsandberg7631]

Heal quick Grumpy....

[@josephsullivan5145]

Great rescue and great talk on preparation!!

[@edwinschlee8374]

Good point on the supplies! Even if you're not in snow but just out traveling you should have the same things!

[@MrJoesphares]

That soft shackle receiver hitch is cool.

[@matsherwood6277]

Love to see you using proper, safe attachment points instead of things like tow balls. 👍 Well done.

[@toddk1377]

Great point. I always preach having a survival kit for the FAM in the vehicle. In a way, for a lot of people, it makes for a fun project to do, especially with the kids so they learn what does what and why it's there. Only other two things many do lack are med kits and fire extinguishers.

[@SuperPirate100]

Another great video , I like seeing the Oregon scenery , I'm an ex seafarer who worked for a British company called the Oregon Steamship company and visited Astoria , Longview and Portland in the 1970's so it's great to see inland . Thanks

[@elizabethliska5377]

It have had the exact same Tonneau cover for 5 years no issues. It sees extreme cold and snow as I am from Central Canada.

[@dad_wagon1976]

I’ve certainly been laughed at for the gear I keep in my truck or bring with me when I’m out. But I’ll either fix what’s broken, get myself unstuck, or spend a comfortable several nights waiting for help if need be. Most folks don’t think far enough ahead or have a plan for when it gets ugly. No regrets, and keep on trucking.

[@harveystephens6115]

Good job!

[@lucygray6162]

I'm in north Florida, where it's already 95 degrees. Can't sit on the porch because of the dead air, stinging gnats and mosquitoes. You don't know how jealous I am to see the falling snow and the kids having fun one more time in your Oregon landscape. So many people think Florida is Disney, but they haven't lived here 60-plus years with the bugs and steam and large reptilian goons waiting for a quick snack. Enjoy your snow, some of us would gladly swap 🙂🙂

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Great job Casey. Hopefully people will listen to you and educate others.

[@haydnjenkins7607]

Boy Scout's motto "Be Prepared" my wife often wonders why I used to take so much with me when I went shooting, even if you only have dry cloths to change into, it can make a big difference, space blankets take up almost zero storage but can make a difference. If I remember correctly 3 minutes in cold water, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food,

[@davidfarmer1666]

Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. Also nice that you give the complete information on being prepared for being out in the outback. Giving credit to the customer for being prepared as well. Until next time, stay safe and be healthy.

[@karenrediker2449]

Tellgrumpwishing him speedy recovery

[@connorhutchinson8854]

Shout out to that guys is filming 😂❤

[@bluegrallis]

Every winter here in N Illinois, the weather people mention when there is a storm coming, to be prepared if you MUST travel. People still don't pay attention. Once in a great while, snowplows won't run for a day or two when we get a big storm, and people do get stranded. I remember back in the late 70's when temperatures dropped well below zero, with terrible wind, right after a BIG snow event. People died out there because they weren't prepared.

[@sharonmiller6436]

It's true! When I was driving between towns for work - only 20 miles or so - in winter I always carried an old sleeping bag, ski pants, big fat candles for heat, a shovel and some nibblies. When the driving was really bad I stayed off the 4 lanes roads and stuck to the 2 lane ones figuring that I went off the road I could at least walk to someones house. On the 4 lanes roads they can be through wilderness, or in my case through the backs of the farms far from any side roads so walking for help would not be an option. Be prepared is the Boy Scout motto . . . and is a good one to follow!

[@dougdean3134]

Yep on point PSA and we’ll delivered

[@clintk4691]

Great PSA! I've been laughed at by multiple people when they see the tool kit, first aid kit, sleeping bag, hatchet, saw, fire starter, booster cables and so much more random things in my truck. Some even think that because it's a 2021 there's no need for it and I'm paranoid. No, I just enjoy trail rides and know what can happen. Greetings from the prairies of Canada! Take care and great work!

[@brucecouch6971]

I am pretty much set up the same and I live 30 miles from Casey. My hope is the only time I meet him is a social event. 😂

[@kellwood1404]

I had a friend with wood etc in her old suv, travelling up to Alaska.

[@rackman5111]

Right on everything you said about being prepared is so true 👍

[@samellis4054]

Thanks I cant believe I never thought of hand warmers

[@edwinhsingmaster9135]

Amen to your thoughts about preparing. Search and Rescue members, like all of us, are encountering risks just leaving their home. They shouldn't be rescuing people that just got a "whim" to head into "conditions" with their head up, you know where!

[@alsims8280]

Advice like this is why I follow your channel. What you're doing will make a difference to someone somewhere someday. Keep it up!

[@straubdavid9]

When you are stuck .... you are stuck! Whether you are a couple hundred yards, or a couple miles or more. So, it's always a good idea to carry at least the minimum for the conditions you may encounter. What tire pressure do you air down to in snow? Take care Casey ... another recovery well done👍

[@samellis4054]

Thanks for another amazing video stay safe stay frosty

[@lockedin60]

Casey a word to the wise. You are always about pointing out what could happen if not prepared. There are a lot of positives in the area you live in. But dangers do lurk. Being prepared is always a good thing.

[@jerryleejohnsonjr1377]

Great channel! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Casey Awesome job. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@jblookonimages6749]

dji pocket. best ever investment. absolutely love mine.

[@jasonsheefy6080]

I always have supplies in my snow vehicle 🤘🏻 never know how long it’s gonna take. I always bring normal snacks with me. And then bring food that doesn’t go bad and that I don’t like the taste of 😂 that way it keeps me from snacking on my serval food. If I need it’s there. Also looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos with all the snow we have now!

[@lopin890]

👍👍Casey!!! 💯% correct about being prepared!!! ...especially here in Central Oregon where if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes -- it'll change!!! Sunshine, bare pavement to SNOW SQUALL .. Looks like you got there right as it was starting, good job!!! And a big "RIGHT ON" to that family for their preparedness!!! You just NEVER KNOW what waits around the next bend in the road..Glad to hear they were set to 'wait it out' if the need arose 🤩🤩

[@tedfisk1211]

I agree with all the comments about being prepared. Far too many people travel around in the northern climes without any sleeping bags or liquids or good warm weather gear. One very important thing is to always have gasoline in the tank. During the winter, I rarely go below half a tank before I fill it up. Great video, Casey.

[@natureview2891]

Great comments on being prepared. You are right on. I carry so much emergency gear in my SUV, at all times, that I am often criticized for it. But I don't care. Having all that have saved my bacon a few times.

[@jamesbigham9036]

Thank you Casey I really enjoyed this video your truck did really good I was impressed. I agree with you that people need to be prepared just in case safety should always be top priority no matter what. It is better to be prepared and not need it then not be prepared and something happen

[@ericnunn8856]

Great advice on being prepared 🤙/ see you next time!

[@geoffcowie8843]

It is nice to see the countryside and see people being great to one another. Thanks Casey. From Down Under.

[@Drewmk-sc9zv]

It just amazes me how quickly weather can change ,and you giving great advice on taking some essentials with you esp with kids on board .Hope you get the rest of your parts for your truck soon .

[@kennaaye8596]

Thanks Casey! Love your content ❤️

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

It's really hard to find missing people in the forrest. Stay with your vehicle. Teach your kids what to do when they're lost. (Stay put) Be smart. Have fun in Oregon!

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Being prepared up here in the Pacific Northwest is a MUST when venturing out. EVEN when driving across the state through the Cascades or north or south..(even in the summer). EVERY TIME I drive to the west side of Washington, or the mountains, or a planned day of fishing/hunting...I always pack for the What-if.

[@jackboyer9010]

I hope you told them what a good job they did.

[@BandWidthExpired]

Truck is coming together!

[@nono7822]

here in Texas it's high 80's already... We call that A LOT of snow..

[@jaymacvean7829]

Nice job Casey, you're always a gentleman. BTW, I am also looking for that toolbox and tonneau cover arrangement. Please reply with details for myself and the other two guys who mentioned it also.

[@larrybutler2807]

YAY GRUMPY! We miss him!

[@judithfairchild8620]

I agree with you about traveling anywhere with or without children. My Mom always had blankets food and something for us to relieve ourselves in when we went any farther than 20 miles from home. With real littles always the extras even for shorter trips.

[@butternut741]

Too easy kc but u are a pro. Like the truck mods well thought out

[@waynelawrence4973]

Get better Grump our thoughts are with you and wish a speedy recovery!

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

awesome recovery and indeed that storm was ahead of schedule! your PSA is on point! My rule is bring what you need and then some extra for emergencies.

[@dougjohnson4266]

They are lucky you were able to get to them that day for sure. The next day we got a good dump.

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

I love this truck with 37’s ! You’ve got an awesome fleet of recovery vehicles !! Keep up the good content. Thanks. (Seth from North Carolina)

[@tobiastho9639]

Always good to talk and hear about preparedness! Also it mostly doesnt have to cost anything... just take blankets you alredy got and the food gets eaten later anyway. We cant eat or get heat from numbers on a bank account in such situations.

[@Fasttowpro]

You're always inspiring them I'll tell you I've never seen snow actually on the ground but I've seen flurries and don't think it's all that cool but you make it look like something I want to visit 😂

[@SMGoertzen]

I LOVE THOSE WHEELS! I want some for my truck.

[@walthanas]

Yet another very nice recovery, Casey. What could be done to inform those heading out what to bring to make sure that they are suitably prepared? Put a sign near the entrance of that trail with "recommended things" to bring? When I go whitewater kayaking in touristy places, like Slovenia, there are signs at every put in and take out, stating that a neoprene wetsuit, helmet and personal floatation device and mandatory. Not useful for the prepared and experienced crowd, but definitely helps lower the herds of inexperienced folks heading there for the first time.

[@mes-offroadadventures]

This is America; where, no matter what you say or how many signs and warnings you post, people just do as they please and ignore it all...... cause you can't tell 'me' what to do...LOL

[@oceanlover1663]

Crazy weather we been having. Even Portland got snow. 😆 🤣 😂

[@allied1394]

I agree things can change in a second out in the wilderness. Better to be prepared and not need it then get caught with your pants down especially when bringing kids along

[@poorfatman5317]

That truck looks great with 37

[@phillip.9524]

Casey, was that on Monday I got photos from Portland and Gresham and they got a good dump. 🇦🇺 thanks for the “Grumpy update “

[@papatomsthoughts]

good points. I have some videos on this and having some extra food in pantry.

[@paullong6051]

Well Casey if they took our occasional stupidity away , you my friend would be out of a Job

[@ginaallen3797]

Here at Old HIppieland, on the West Slope of Colorado, being prepared is simply the way. It is not an after thought. Even small trips of 60+ miles, during the late fall through early spring, my car looks like someone is going away for days not hours. Loved the video and the lessons. Peace.

Good ole Road 40. My favorite for going to Bend from Crescent Lake. But there's a spot in there, past where this was, that people get stuck in all the way to June.

[@napalmholocaust9093]

I put an emergency kit inside my car door. It cannot be forgotten or left out. There is a 10x10" box under the panel. Like it was made for it.
