Search and rescue call for a stranded family gets a little more interesting that we expected...

A father and his two sons got stranded on a snowy road at the base of the Cascades and called search and rescue for help. They then learned of us and called my to see if I could assist. I said I could, and after confirming with search and rescue that they were on hold, Grumpy and I took the tracked Jeep up to find them. Along the way we got a lot more than we'd bargained for!

When someone in a tracked jeep says you ain't making it through... just be thankful and turn around. Like these guys did.

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

Is that what those tires are called, tracked? Sorry if this seems like a silly question. Born and raised in the south and I have never seen these in my 40+ years on Earth. They're really cool looking. Do you know if they work when there isn't snow, or do they have to change them in and out all winter?

[@NPzed]

@@illbeyourstumbleine Those are tracks. There are a number of different makers/brands and some folks have even made their own. You could technically use them anywhere but non-soft environments (e.g. bare pavement) would cause accelerated wear if not damage after enough time/distance (so not advisable). I'm not sure what Casey does, but some folks in recovery would probably leave them on as a dedicated tracked vehicle. But those do appear to be able to be removed and swapped back to normal rubber tires if desired.

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

@@NPzed thank you so much for taking time out to answer my question so thoroughly, I really appreciate it. Like I said, I am from the south born and raised, but we are looking for land near the mountains (not sure on Rocky or Appalachian yet) in the next couple years to start a small farm. Just farming for ourselves, nothing big or agricultural. I think some call it homesteading, but others say homesteading was were you claimed free land and you can't do that anymore...but I think you catch my drift. Just trying to learn all I can, and do what I can hands on to prepare myself for the move. Can't wait to have snow!

Inevitably people would knock on our door looking for help because we were the only house with lights on. Folks just don't know how deep the snow gets up that high. Folks and their kids would stay with me to have hot chocolate while my husband would go pull their vehicle out. And cellphones didn't have a signal that high up.

My cell phone battery was dead so couldn’t call anyone. I kept beeping my horn hoping someone could hear it but no one came out of nearby houses. My son-in- law happened by on his way home and tried to pull me out with his pickup but didn’t work. I didn’t dare take my foot off the brake and put in park as I was afraid it would roll forward the few inches I had left under the front tires. A young women from New Jersey who was visiting her grandparents further up our road pulled her Jeep up and pulled me out no problem. She wouldn’t accept any kind of payment except a hug.

It really helps to read your owner's manual to understand how your traction control/stability control systems work in these newer vehicles. They will aid in preventing you from getting stuck, but should you GET stuck anyways, they will prevent wheel spin which you need in order to get unstuck. That is why there is a button on your dash to disable the traction control system in these situations, like Casey explained to the customer of the VW. This also brings to light the importance of having some emergency supplies in your vehicle when traveling. Water, blankets, fire starter, first aid, etc

Massive respect for what you do, gentlemen. Fantastic set-up you've got on your rig. Impressive.

[@stanbarnes7284]

Pulled lots of people out and these guys got the gear for sure. That tracked Jeep is the tool for that work. Good job guys.

[@georgegreen442]

It is so refreshing to see people that own cool toys to be using them to rescue stranded motorist versus shooting videos of donuts in parking lots! Well done gentlemen. If you had a GoFund Me website to cover expenses (fuel, maintence, ect.) I would be happy to donate.

The VW tow eye/hook is usually stowed with the spare wheel tools. There are normally two threads (left and right) to secure the tow eye accessed through holes in the front bumper.

[@deadskimountaineer]

Those tow eyes are great in theory, but there is usually a bunch of junk on top of the spare tire, then the cover gets stuck on so you wind up scratching the bumper getting it open, then something is full of snow, then you drop the thing and can’t find it, then whatever else, and on and on. Or just loop onto a control arm. Or the eye is missing, which also happens.

I got a feeling snow recovery videos are going to blow up your channel in the next 4 months. Keep it up.

[@charlesbranch4120]

Yes. The National Weather Service Drought Report for the Inland Northwest on Christmas Eve forecasts the next three months to be "wetter than normal" and "colder than normal" so there's hope for a higher than normal snowpack to reduce our drought condition from Extreme Stage 4 last summer, now Stage 3, and it would be great to get back to some good moisture years for crops, livestock, fish, wildlife, and more.

[@thecourier2018]

Man, those tracks are no joke! You're cruising along like there isn't any snow.

[@robinmartz9052]

I live in Montana. We got stuck once up in the hills, the one and only time, and our friend brought his big ol rig up there and got us out. We rode in the front with him on the way down. Now that I think about it, I'm thinking our old Studebaker broke down. I'm old. I forget details sometimes 🤪 I still love to watch this stuff.

[@Twilightsummerbreeze]

The sound of the tracks on snow is a good ASMR sound! And such optimists!

[@offroadnut]

Another great video. You are providing a potentially lifesaving rescue. It must be me, but I would never go out at night , alone, in a snow storm, with something that has 5” of ground clearance .

[@concernedamerican6961]

It's common sense not to drive in a snowstorm but in all fairness, we have no idea why these people decided to take a chance and drive in it anyway. Many things like trying to get fuel so their house stays warm, hungry disabled Grandparents, or simply trying to get home after visiting with friends when the snow started. Super happy they rescued them all. 🙂

[@mahbriggs]

I would say the same, but I have done it more than once! Although not in the mountains. Only got stuck once, but was in no danger as I had good winter clothing, and was near niehbors.

Thanks for being rescue superstars. This makes me nostalgic for life in southern Oregon. Been there back in my 20-something days, without a cell phone or other folks to help. Good times! I hope some of these bonus folks find you and send some appreciation your way. ;-)

[@laurasalo6160]

Working in muddy slick conditions on a sparsely populated reservation and BOTH our 2wd pickups slid helplessly into the deep ditch (I tried pulling my coworker out and it didn't work 🙃 I just ended up in front of her in the ditch). We were SCREWED with poor cell reception in the area... No word of a lie -- moments later, a huge front-end loader crested the hill and a beautiful indigenous man emerged and pulled both our sorry butts out of the ditch. I hugged him and thanked him -- he was so kind. It was so incredibly fortuitous for us. I never will forget that experience. Bless your hearts for what you do! ♥

[@giterdone9013]

My guess is they were called alongside Search and Rescue, it might be free. I know here in Eastern Canada, we’re a volunteer organization and no charges incurred by the souls, yet. But the rules they are a changing, recovery equipment is not cheap and we’d spend a more time fundraising or chasing government grants than we actually did searching. Which always burnt out our members. And that is an international fact. Support your local SAR Services, “So Others May Live!”

[@maddiesyoutube6023]

Nice video. Its surprising how dangerous snowy conditions can get. A few days ago 19 people including families with small children died in snowy road block in Murree Pakistan. They got stuck on road and died of carbon monoxide poisoning from car heaters. I was shocked as I never knew this could happen. More people need to be informed about how to survive in these conditions and prepare accordingly.

[@BrandyD1777]

Not only one rescue but multiple & no charge/money exchanged. Angels.

[@NOELTM]

Amazing video and well done to both of you for your skill and bravery in helping others in tough conditions. Maybe hand out some kind of small merch or business card with your details on it so that those who you rescued have the option of making a donation or smt. I think it's very kind of you to do the rescues free of charge on that night - but you got a family to feed as much as they have.

We had a nice little Suzuki Sidekick that was 4 wheel drive. You had to manually lock the hubs. That thing could go through snow. We also drove it on the beach a few times.
