As well, as long as you have satellite comms, there comes a point where the authorities can be brought in. Expensive, but, they've got all the equipment, including helicopters. Extra fuel, and extra blankets. You have some of the later, but maybe more.

[@mikec6831]

Sound advice Torthak. I was thinking the same watching the vid, no snow like that down here on Texas coast, however, much like offshore fishing. You can’t always tow other boats in, uses way too much fuel. Get the people out and go back for the boat. Have a means of communication for the very worst case scenario and EPIRB so authorities can find you if need be. Trust me, you are worth it.

[@edwinhsingmaster9135]

I'd also add: walkie-talkie when towing so both drivers are on the same page. Simple Lazer pointer. Many uses, but especially to get attention of a rescue helicopter.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Your rescue brought back the story of Dewitt Finley who took a mountain road in Oregon on Nov 14 1994 and got stuck. It snowed for three days and the hwy department closed the road for the winter. Finley had decided to stay with his vehicle not knowing the road was closed. He spent 9 weeks checking off days on the calendar and writing on a legal pad before he finally died of starvation. His body was found by Snowmobilers on May 20, 1995. I think it caused Oregon to check the rods they close by snowmobile as soon as possible.

[@toddk1377]

Never knew of that story. Tragic ending but hopefully that brought on new laws and codes so it doesn't happen again and with folks like Casey and others throughout the country, no one should have to remain stuck in future endeavors. This does however reiterate how important it is to have an emergency kit put together, having a plan such as telling someone where they are going and when they'll be back, ect. Another reason as well how important having a winch can be but also back up plans to the original back up plan such as, what to do if that winch fails, ect.

If are going keep doing Search and Rescue (I hope you do) you should see if the Sheriffs Office will supply you with a SAR radio.

Best course of action is to tell someone where you're going and when to expect you back.

The Wurx fuel containers seem pretty cool. Stackable with a transfer pump and to have another 20 gallons on hand seems worth it for long trips especially at 2.3 mpg. The tracks have to decrease your recovery time as you can just tow them out vs. winching both rigs…as long as you don’t run out of gas. Love the snow recoveries.

[@johncuervo3019]

How does he only get two miles per gallon

[@JamesPhieffer]

@@johncuervo3019 the track drive mechanism lowers the effective gearing of the vehicle, meaning the vehicle goes much more slowly relative to engine speed. So this would have a major impact on fuel efficiency to begin with. Then you add on the amount of power needed to handle plowing through the snow, as it creates resistance that you don't have on a clear road, and that increases the load on the drivetrain, requiring more fuel to overcome. Also, driving through the snow at night, in extreme cold, adds load to the electrical (to run lights, defrosters, etc) while hurting battery efficiency. This means there is constant load on the engine from the a/c and alternator, which increases fuel usage. Finally, as Casey mentioned the steering box was under load the whole time due to having the resistance from steering the treads. This adds more load yet. All of this means that the Jeep was doing a LOT of work, which requires power from the engine, which gets it by burning more gasoline.

Watching this and other Casey Ladelle snow rescues leaves me with a good take-away. Even the rescuers need a backup plan. I live in a rural area of North Dakota and have been in some bad situations due to snow, low visibility and SEVERE cold temps. If you're vehicle is not 100% in good shape, going out in risky conditions is a bad idea. I got my plow truck stuck once about a 1/2 mile from my house in a blizzard...I was outfitted properly for the weather, but walking back on a small road to my house in a zero visibility blizzard was humbling.

Ah man this brings back some good ol' memories. I rolled my first pickup a 84' Nissan Kingcab 4x4 on some oversized Goodyear Workhorse Extra Grip tires just out of highschool in the middle of the night in below zero F. We were out horseplaying in the snow on country roads about 4 miles out of town. Unfortunately we didn't have cells at that time so that was a long cold walk for me and my 2 buddies. I gave my insulated work bib overalls, stocking cap, and insulated gloves and a blanket that I had in the truck to my two buddies who had nothing but tennis shoes t-shirts and pretty much worthless light jackets. I fortunately had my heavy insulated carhartt coat, long sleeve shirt, my good boots and over-calf socks on from work still. Unfortunately the cab on the driver side crushed to about 4 inches off the steering wheel and jacked my back up pretty good. Didn't really notice it until the adrenaline wore off around a 1/2 mile down the road. That was a miserable walk. The ironic part that still makes me laugh about the whole stupid ordeal was about 30 seconds before it happened my best buddy said "Will your the only person I trust to do this stuff with." Because I was the only one of our group that was always out mudding, crawling, drift busting, and all sorts of general offroad crap and was the only one to not ever get stuck at least to a point I couldn't get out under my own power, or to have an accident. I'd yanked all of them out of mud, snow, ditches, fields, and wherever but that night he said that and we rolled right after lol. To this day I've never had to be pulled out of anything. I always managed to finagle my way through/out of mud although snow I've had to dig the frame of the truck out a couple times but always got the truck moving and on it's way again. Ah good times. Still keep all my tow/snatching crap in the truck to this day even though I don't go out offroading anymore, and it still gets used regularly in the winter in town lol. Oh also me and my dad went out early that morning to tow it back to town and I tried to start it again and this time it fired up lol. Was a cold ass drive back to town leaning on the little center console looking out between the smashed down drivers side cab and the dashboard lol. Still miss that little pickup to this day.

[@justanotherguy3850]

Kudos to your customer/ victim who had enough common sense to get out of his wet clothing and to stay in shelter. I worked a foot rescue where a vehicle had attempted to travel a path in a blizzard that made absolutely no common sense at all. It was actually pure stupidity on his part. He and several others ended up soaking wet and were instructed to stay in their vehicle in their underwear and to huddle just to stay warm. You see, not only were they stupid to begin with but they were not prepared for the trip. In my experience in SAR, people generally plan for the trip and not in case of what might happen on the trip. Kudos to you as well for having common sense and realizing the weaknesses that you're going to need to overcome. You know, I never thought of the power steering pump overheating. Something learned. You also new to have a heated jacket and heated gloves. Something that everyone that travels in Snow Country should consider. But I especially liked about this video was it you didn't appear to show ego but rather, humility. You affected the rescue and you later assessed what could have been done differently. A word to the wise. Y'all dun good.

It’s not that you didn’t think about fuel before you set off on the return leg, you did. From my own experience once you head off in those conditions over those distences almost anything can happen and for some reason often enough does.

Well, at least they'd know where to find my body! Your power steering pump may be popping its relief valve, which causes the overheat. Cooler is a great idea, but you should consider beefing up the steering's hydraulic cylinders' diameter for the added force the tracks require.

Not always the easiest but keeping fuel cans inside vehicle and moving up to the roof rack as needed and utilizing a jiggle siphon hose beats pouring gas out of the can at times.

I picked up a 'Shaker Siphon Hose Pump Transfer Self Priming Siphon Hose' and my back has loved me ever since.

Awesome work you do. Thankful it ended well & you'll be making improvements for safety. God bless you!

I'm happy that all of you are safe and on your way to rest and warmth again.

OMG what an adventure- Glad ya'll made it back ok- At 2mpg, I wonder if there is room between the frame rails for an auxillary fuel tank? I did that on a grand cherokee I had once (& a grand wagoneer too) but, going by the look of yours, mine was an older model- It held an additional 12 gallons- Not much, but better than nothing- Really enjoy your vids Casey- Be safe out there!!!

This already has an oversized tank in it

Great recovery! I would highly recommend getting an inreach device for these types of adventures
