Stuck Deep - No Winch - No Help - SOLO ATV Nightmare

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

If you watch to the end, there's a nice little beaver sighting, and ya Willow goes racing after it. And don't forget to subscribe to the Booxefest Channel if you want to come out to my livestreams: kzbin.info/door/ukaJ4wuW155GIBeEttTOyg

[@ateamofone]

Your a real trooper Russ! Most people may not notice, but i notice when you put your camera on the trail to watch you walk it just so you can walk back and get your camera. Lots of extra walking in that mess, all for us! TY

[@wygold]

Thanks for sharing your mishaps with us. Your channel has been very informative when SHTF. So far I haven’t found another channel that shares their everyday mishaps while living off grid like yours.

[@himesjb]

Your pain is our gain! Thanks for keeping it real and showing all the hard work involved. You have done amazing things at your place. The pallet ramp was a good fix. I just love watching ATV stuff, even the winching and makeshift repairs and such. It is tough for you in the moment, but just remember at those times that it will be instructive for us.

[@themanonthestreet]

You appear to have a great look at life. Barriers and troubles are merely opportunities to learn, overcome, and grow. Kudos Russ!

[@andrevaudrin3164]

you are the funniest countryside survivor i know so far ^^ but you certainly deserve sympathy for sure

[@williamb6869]

Russ good video no matter what the trail and nature threw at you you over came, rough day but at the end of the day a cold beer and sitting on your porch you over came it beautiful shot of the pond and the beaver and your dog willow ,the day ended great day Russ

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Thanks William. Your comments are really appreciated.

[@ChadMorgan709]

The trail needs some major work but I don't need to tell you that! Get that winch fixed or replaced before you get too broke up to enjoy the cabin! Thanks for taking us along and see you on the next!

[@markoslejsek5974]

Yes I know exactly what you mean about being so exhausted it affects your thinking ability. Your place looks absolutely beautiful. Wish I had something similar. Get that winch fixed!! Wish you well.

[@frank9592]

the beer/loading fridge montage was great, just needed eye of the tiger playing! Glad you got it all out and get that winch!

[@CabinDweller]

haha I'm catching up on your older videos and so glad to see I'm not the only one who gets their quad stuck!! Got mine stuck yesterday in the snow lol. And I seem to get it stuck all the time. I was so happy to see you get it out, it's as big as a relief watching it as doing it hahahah

[@dmo848]

Makes me feel dumb I bought a 2 wheel drive only. Smh

[@timkeagy4094]

You never give up, you use different ideas and give it your best. Many would have walked to their cabin and stayed there for the night. You went back and got that ATV out. Nice job. Bet that first beer tasted great.

[@briangrigutsbmgoutdoors7866]

Fantastic Russ!!! Made my Sunday!! Glad you made it out. That is up there with the blue barrel!!

[@chrisread6103]

I'm sorry Russel...but I cracked up laughing when that stick spun around beat'in you up...like some kind of Cartoon. You are are a real trooper with the camera while walking. Thanks! Oh happy day when the ATV became unstuck!!! I like how you video emphasized hydration point when you got to the cabin. All in all...very interesting. I dream of the day you have a all weather doable path/road in and out. Bet City Girl does too.

[@chadh9267]

Russell that was an absolute nightmare but obviously having a cold beer taking in that view was priceless. Thanks for bringing us on your adventures!

[@romangrayjr]

Videos like this help the rest of us learn from your experience. My 11 yr old and I talked through how to avoid this in the first place, and how to try to resolve it if we had to. 1. What to take with you on every trip: rope, come along, etc. 2. How to use levers: log under the front end to lift up and get traction to rear wheels, tilt pallets up to place weight on tongue of trailer and get traction to rear wheels, etc. 3. Flip flop winch. Thanks for sharing.

[@SilentGloves]

Endless entertainment from Raspberry Rock. Thanks for sharing the, um, "honest" videos with us. :)

[@peterl9246]

Russ that was crazy! I thought for sure you were going swimming! lol But you got it, good work! A well deserved beer at the end.

[@jiffy59]

Just started watching your channel man it's in it's relaxing and exhilarating at the same time you got two beautiful labs peace and serenity now enjoy your life buddy thanks for the video

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Thanks Jeremiah appreciate the comments.

[@JM-ms6uo]

I see why you want to be there, it's beautiful, peaceful and tranquil.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Like yourself I’ve learned the importance of the saying, “It’s better to have and not need it, than need it and not have it.” I do admire your calm rational approach.

[@jamesboyer8]

im not giving u hell but this is better than ever i love you for ur journey thanks

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

LOL I feel the love.

[@gregf5730]

Wow great job! No one hurt or nothing broken. For all you do this Bud is for you! :-D

[@Timr45_70]

LOl.....thought you were getting wet for sure Russ! I agree that was right up there with the ice filled barrel ! Live and learn, winch or come along, you need one on the bike all the time .

[@surajraikar9946]

u learnt a very big lesson. IN A RIGHT WAY

[@glennsolsberg3087]

Can’t believe your patience, this tome and all the rest! Lost a set of golf clubs in the woods. Luckily a few were not too hard to find because they were wrapped around a tree. Get back safe and sound and knock the bottom out of a couple and all is good!

[@BrianTucker]

Thank you Russell! My grandson Jyn and I are having a great time watching your struggles, lol!! You rock, Man!!

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Glad you're enjoying the video! HI JYN!

[@samsoutdooradventures88]

Wow what an adventure! Its good to see that you got the atv and trailer out. The trail to my cabin isn’t near as adventurous as yours is the trail to my cabin is only about 250 feet long from where a can park my vehicle.

[@fyiaustralia9686]

Haha...first thing's first...When you get back to the cabin, crack a tinnie! Solves all problems.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Sometimes a beer goes down so well.

[@sizzlechest1038]

Wow what a pain in the @ss that must have been, glad you were able to get it out. A well deserved Beer after that n yes i would agree that is one heck of a view for you back porch

[@CabinDweller]

First time I've seen the cabin in the summer, AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to see your 2020 summer videos.

[@kengardiner8106]

You definitely have a high tolerance for keeping your cool , as if that were me stuck in the mud I would have spoke a blue streak that could have been heard by the Wizard.

[@johnmccormick175]

What a day for sure but you got it out with a long walk and much work...i admire your patience !

[@scottcreighton8263]

Hey Russ...the only difference between you getting stuck and the rest of us getting stuck is that your adventure was on film. Remember, if there is no video or no photos, it never happened. Glad you got out. Entertaining as always. Looking forward to next Booxefest!

[@WayOffTheTrail]

Now that was a well deserved beer! I cannot believe how clean you still were after all that. I'm sure I would be covered in mud. LOL

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

That lime & lager at the end was one of the best beers I've ever had. Although honestly I've had a few of those.

[@brucewilliams2106]

We had a beaver chewing up all the trees on our island in the Kawarthas...can't shoot them so we made a potato gun to scare them off. works great! ONe shot over the bow, haven't seen him all season!

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

LOL well you can get a trapper to take care of them eh?

[@affintlewoodlewix]

Blimey, you got a laugh out of me in the first 5 seconds. Looking forward to watching the rest

[@denthebundy7939]

people will have a field day with this one but regardless of all that it's awesome you keep a smile on your face and just deal with what is thrown at you

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Ya bundy, I know they will. Oh well, this is what I do. See you Friday.

[@denthebundy7939]

Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin yeah missed the live stream and it felt like something was missing from my weekend have a great week

[@TyK622]

When life gives you lemons.... you make lemonade :)

[@georgettewood8894]

You are quite the individual,so much patience. Really enjoyed your well developed videos.✅

[@fredmoller1675]

Don't worry Russ, with a little using the ole noggin you pulled through, but when I had a four wheeler, I always carried a come-along for security, as I always went solo.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Thanks Frederick. I just need to get my winch fixed. Was planning on getting it done during the trip to the shop for spring maintenance. Just haven't got around to it yet.

[@jantefft2442]

Beautiful, just beautiful. As you would say "Hazar".

[@markbayless5527]

Now that's badass. Very impressive. Loving this channel

[@beer1for2break3fast4]

Nice dogs. And the view from your cabin is priceless.

[@TyK622]

You are resourceful and resilient. cheers.

[@deelan5726]

Very wholesome ending. Great video man👍

[@bobbyt9999]

As you know, in the past I howled with laughter at your adventures with the atv and the trailer. Please note that I'm not laughing at you this time. That was a rough one for sure. Glad it all worked out.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

It's okay to laugh at these, bobby. It's not like I'm providing these videos for instructional value.

[@chrisstaples3780]

Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin you would have to title evey video what not to do.

[@carlmic7]

Yeah, you need an argo or just make a new trail around the mud hole. That was painful!

[@jeffersoneinstein9641]

Well that looked fun. Did you notice that when you were teetering on trailer there was a familiar magic glass sound happening? Great video Russ, take care.

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

Shit happen sometimes. Just 08-5 this week I get deliver the new outlander 1000XTP and the first ride I thought just go for 10 minutes ride behind the house in forest and I already drove in those area in winter .imagine the bike front side fall in deep water tell cluster. The most painful ever for new machine. Two hours In water tell I pulled over. After that the power loses and felt no pulling . No more trust lakes in forest.

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

Good job perseverance bruh 👍🏿and you’re right that is a million dollar view

[@jantefft2442]

OMG you certainly worked your heart heart out thru that ordeal

[@denaredford6701]

Your dogs are such good company .

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

And that my friend is why you buy a winch. I would never even think of going out there without one.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Saw your comment before you changed it. Classy.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

lmao i figured you would take it as a joke. And then thought that maybe others wouldn't.

[@threefortyduster]

Bet you got some winch fixing parts ordered real quick when you got back home. Nice video!

[@countryfrau8328]

Please forgive me but everytime I heard that big CRACK of a branch breaking and then your sounds it made me laugh out loud. I'm sorry but man could I ever uses that laugh. Thank you. I'm glad you got free eventually. It's a good lesson for me because I don't even have a come-along yet.

[@macsair]

That looked like so much fun. Good times !

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Good times! Wish you could have been there!

[@Harley04]

Damn it man, 1 minute in, and I'm thinking you need a winch so bad !!!! Then you mentioned it LOL

[@jasonstoltzfus6862]

Glad everything turned out ok.

[@larrybailey43]

A Flip Flop winch is great for moving stick vehicles or moving heavy logs by yourself. Look it up !

[@TheBibliofilus]

Been there, done that. Best just to bite the bullet and wade in and get wet by standing in the water and pushing with legs while giving it throttle to get over the tree-stump and in that case put a pallet in front to climb the ATV up on.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

My old Honda ATV I could man-handle somewhat, but I can't budge this big Can-Am. Pushing doesn't do much.

[@TheBibliofilus]

Yep, also gotten a Can-Am and it's close to 500kg and my old Suzuki is under 300kg (which I could lift each end of to move it!), makes getting stuck interesting :) Another alternative would be cutting a fresh long tree down and levering it forward, "luckily" most Can-Am's have a big built-in rear trunk to fit axes, foldable saws tow straps etc maybe for a reason... Also there is Mr. Murphy that tells you that a winch will fail when you need it the most, like breaking the line close to the drum on a inaccessible winch! Wish there was a way to temporarily disable the reverse limiter though as it makes reversing out of getting stuck close to impossible as it requires two hands limiting ability to push.

[@craigflatley7370]

Can’t believe I didn’t see any can am jokes!! We have three and I have heard a lot.

[@WoodsUnknown]

Great video, I think a pull strap and maybe get your winch looked at especially venturing off by yourself atving, but that's the adventure right

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

I did get my winch fixed, and I got a new ATV!

[@makeuplover6852]

@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin , as you know I'm watching all the videos from day one (or vid one), I have watched a few current day, so know you are still alive and well and somehow I missed that you got a new ATV ! Lol...I guess I wasn't looking at it that closely in the new vids! You have the patience of Jobe! Most people don't show these kinda days, or if they do, it's highly edited. You are about as true life as it comes I do believe. You may not know this as it pertains more to different genres on YT - more on Instagram, anyway...so this new "phenomenon" is (mostly women) who are home makers, and also work , kids etc...their feedback has been they are "not relatable" as what they put out to the viewers is so edited , just snaps of a perfect vignette of a corner of a room everything in place a "perfect picture" ...yet, the other 95% of the room is a disaster, toys everywhere, dishes not done, loads of laundry to be folded, etc. Real life. So, women are now staging, get this...a "mess" ...to be more relatable. Sigh. Sometimes, ya just have to think " what in the hell has gone wrong with this world". Ok...I think that a lot actually. Anyway, this video just made me think about this new thing happening in social media, and the stark contrast to your channel. Real life. Every day. Unedited, (well- edited yes, but you know what I mean). It's such a refreshing change. I guess maybe that's why everyday I work through a few more of these older videos. It also really makes me feel closer to my roots. I live about 50 km outside of Toronto now, and for many years lived and worked downtown Toronto, I've been here for over 25 years, but I was born and raised in NB on a 10,000 acre farm. It was crappy land, mostly rock (your challenges with your bed rock make me remember the many summers spent "picking rocks" before potato planting season. Every year we hauled more loads of rock out of the fields, we had lots of land for many generations but it was poor land not really suitable for much of anything. Well thanks for coming to my walk down memory lane. These days when you face such adversity you remind people that perseverance patience and some good planning are cornerstone to working through most of what life throws at us. Glad to hear about the new ATV and that winch got repaired!

[@jedidiah5131]

Rule no# 1. Don't be afraid to get wet lol...You are exactly right, many people get frustrated, tired and they are miles from nowhere, there are lots of war stories out there...Chalk it all up to a good learning curve....And you did get out!

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

LOL I hate getting wet! Well my feet were soaked at the end of the day anyway.

[@DanVasc]

Wow, tough times!

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

How different our lives are, eh? But one day when I finish this cabin I'd like to do some singing. Have you ever thought of doing vocal lessons by skype?

[@wnchillbilly1]

glad you got it out.

[@grantmiller7980]

Good Man Get Rest

[@victorhebert5774]

If you keep going this way, your MILLION dollars view will mean nothing. You will have a heart attack in one of these hole and "wow" that crossing do something. You made my day. Nice that you had a cool drink. Good video.

[@jasop1291]

Looks like your bottomed out usually putting all your weight on one of the back tires will give it some traction and it will crawl out but every stuck is different hope you have a good day

[@japnjim9684]

I am having a Kessler and 7vn with you right now because I am exhausted from watching. Cheers Russ, Jim

[@gtsipejr]

Great way to finish starting at 26:00

[@denaredford6701]

You really deserve that beer .

[@miccacarry6803]

Russell that took real genius to take the ATV thru a pond where u know full well you'll no doubt get stuck. I do see plenty dry land to go around temporally until u can make a Couterious road. or just add a Warn winch to the front of ur ATV unless u really enjoy Makin e Xtra work for your self. Always take the route with the LEAST Resistance..Military Tactics.

[@larrybailey43]

Study up on snatch blocks pulley systems !

[@asleepinthealley]

You're a rich man! What a Beautiful life.

[@SandraCrockett]

I bet that was a big lesson you will never forget. OUCH!

[@johnnnny]

Hilarious. As soon as I saw you with those ratchet straps I thought “what’s he going to do first, smash himself with the stick when it starts spinning back on him, or break the strap?” Ends up, BOTH. Nice work though, you never give up.

[@davidpringle8089]

This reminds me of some of the messes I've got into.

[@nellomichi6416]

outstanding !!!

[@Living-The-Dream]

Best entertainment I have had I a month 😏🤠🐾🐾🐾🐾👍

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Ya you always laugh at my crappy days, don't ya?

[@Living-The-Dream]

In a month....I should proof read my terrible typing. Geeezzzz🤓

[@Living-The-Dream]

Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin now Russ....I didn’t say laugh...I said best entertainment......lmao You are a star man !🤩

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Dude I heard you laughing all the way over here. Don't deny it.

[@Living-The-Dream]

Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin I represent that statement 🤣

[@michaelcoghlan5521]

Great fun as always Russ, could happen to anyone. M

[@peewee.3138]

You might want to keep an eye out for some old tv towers to rebuild that bridge before too long.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Hey Peewee, it's my neighbour's land and I'm obligated to only use natural materials (aside from nails) for stuff like this. My hands are tied.

[@josephineflatt74]

Boy Russell, you sure had your self in a big mucky mess there on your way to the cabin. I feel for you alone and no help or materials to help you. god bless you.

[@djkingdwayne]

took 2 other 4 wheelers one with a winch and one as a anchor,we was in a swampy ass aera...lol

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

LOL that sounds much worse than my trip.

[@djkingdwayne]

it was the fun days

[@louellahubbell6514]

Russell just put the pallets that you have underneath the front wheels in a long row and drive the atv over them. Then you will get unstuck from that nasty mess in the mud and water. I feel your frustration at the trouble you are having and i am pretty sure if you place the pallets underneath the front tires you can get out.

[@susanbrown2909]

I’d cut out another track through thoses trees .lol.

[@stephengagnon4714]

LOVE it brother

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

Oh boy! We had a hard time getting into our property also last weekend, but it was because of too much snow. watch the video!

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Hard to believe that two weeks ago was our worst winter storm. And here I'm running around in a t-shirt.

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

Yeah this spring weather is crazy. I always bring my high rain boots when I go up there. there always seems to be mud.

[@phengchan3232]

Russ! You do need the Argo!

[@TS-xj5mt]

Very lucky you didn't tangle that cable around your axel on the way out.

[@chrislewis1943]

For the love of GOD, get some mud tires, hip wadders, and more beer!!!

[@indigocomca]

Man. I'm exhausted!!!

[@patrickinottawa27]

Russ, I know it's a pain in the A$$. Why don't you use this as a "great opportunity". Run back in a day or two with the chain saw and cut a detour around these bad areas of the trail, at least then you have the trail and an alternate when the trail is trashed. What you cut down toss into the mud to fill the holes, especially that hole you threw the palette into. Make it safer for you and Alicia. Glad to see you got the ATV out alright. Glad to see you didn't take a mud bath either.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

That was the detour!

[@EYECOMEINPEACE]

Good vid. I would have tried sliding those pallets under the tires... Would that have just been a waste of time and definitely done nothing to help? I'm not sure... just curious thinking out loud.

[@moejaime2654]

specifically repair that Beaver pond ? :)

[@Codyak13]

I almost feel bad liking this considering what happened. Glad it worked out though.

[@vanessagannon7488]

Lol l lol lol you are a tru troper.watching you in ireland in the wild north west you ate a true stair tupper.keep it going excellent work from angel children and all the animals great work blessings to you 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🍀☘🌲🍀☘🍀☘🍀☘🍀☘🍀☘🍀

[@roderickmarruffo7600]

A decent block & tackle to make winching easier, or a winch. Lol

[@roxiejanney5947]

Pack mules would solve your transportation problems. lol!

[@TheGreatBeard]

See, that's what you get for buying that thing. You should have bought a TaoTao. That way, when you get it stuck like that you won't care and just walk away leaving it stuck forever! Seriously though, my brother got his Honda Rancher stuck almost as bad the other day, he was lucky I was with him.

[@johnnybond2570]

Man, when you are alone you gotta Think ahead. I just don’t think you thought that throughBefore you got buried up to your belly in mud.. And that bridge is the sketchiest thing I have ever seen and I seenYour trailer fall off in the winter. Be careful man you’re all alone

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

The bridge gets better every year. The very first time I came to the property there was no bridge. That sketchy bridge is the reason I have a cabin here.
