STRANDED IN THE MOUNTAINS! - Overland Journey Across Canada (P2/3) /// EFRT S5•EP24

[@ProofBenny]

1 turn off your traction control 2 lower tyres to like 10 psi 3 turn on all lockers 4 Chains 5 right foot and hold on You can see traction control kicking in digging you into the snow Also add You guys are amazing and love watching your videos with my family

[@azfarc11]

Good tips! also put it into 1st gear and keep it there..

[@snazari1994]

Rigs are too god damn heavy

[@tmalcolm6138]

I’m always so impressed at the meals you all create on the road when I can’t seem to find the energy to make that happen with all the comforts of home ! Lol

[@squarecatcreative]

“Properly equipped”: no boots/trail crampons, shoveling with traction boards, using traction boards in snow, M/T tires (which are only marginally better than All Seasons for anything other than deep, sticky mud…) Months you should be prepared for snow in the mountains: January-December. One of my favorite ways to escape the July heat in Denver is to drive an hour and have a snowball fight.

[@squarecatcreative]

That camping spot though! 😍

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed the video. Peter (Dad) here - yes we are super proud of the kids for their great attitude and willingness to do whatever it takes. We hope you have a wonderful day!

[@justinm.791]

Blown away ....seriously... at how hard the kids worked, without a complaint and for hours as well. The life lessons the entire family is learning and while together....is just incredible.

[@dondelmar9140]

Such a wonderful family. Perfect example of a great parent. Calm dad + cool mom and the kids are very lovely and so much respect each everyone in the family. and kids they are great too. the girl is so beautiful I lover her style the way she talk I love it.

You guys could survive anywhere after getting through this. Amazing family teamwork. Well done can’t wait for next weeks episode.

Forget any negative comments. Watching your family stay calm and pull together is a beautiful thing. There's nothing else that matters. And just think, if you had gotten out easily you wouldn't get to tell this story around a camp fire for the rest of your lives.

Hello guys, excellent teamwork, amazing leadership of Peter, two strong and beautiful women and brave sons. It was a very stressful video to watch but motivating and inspiring as well! Peter, a lot of lessons from this experience for a great analogy with business. Keep going family! Regards from Colombia

[@EFRT]

Thanks for watching in Columbia and thanks for your comments. You’re right there are so many lessons we learned that also applied to business life. Thanks for watching and we hope you have a wonderful day. Greetings from our family to you and yours.

[@MENTALIST2112]

Now that's an epic road trip. Great team work. You guy rock.

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

Great work and patients. 8:38 is a good example of one circumstance that IFS is better then Solid Front Axles. You can see the trenches from both of the diff pumpkins dug in the crust of the snow. The high ground clearance of IFS and the ability to skid plate from the front bumper to back axle allows for an easier slide on the snow.

[@TheWright03]

Puts the "Epic" Epic family road trip. Great attitude all round. What an inspiration.

[@sidvish159]

Wow what an adventure...I really appreciate how you all work as a family together and seem to have a positive attitude even when the going gets tough. Amazing!

[@EFRT]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the adventure. Yes, we agree, things turned out well eventually because of the teamwork and the positive attitude. Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@davidschoessow1646]

These are great episodes. Not only because of the beautiful scenery, but more so because of the adversity you are overcoming. It makes for a much more compelling story than your usual trips. How you are dealing with the challenges and what you are learning is of great benefit for the rest of us. When I was in college in Utah in the late 1960’s, I had a roommate who would borrow his grandfather’s old Wileys Jeep and we would take it up in the mountains. Sometimes we would drive until we got stuck in mud or snow and then had to figure out how to get out of the jam we had gotten ourselves into. Sometimes we were able to help others who needed help. Great memories. I look forward to your family taking on more challenging adventures, where experiencing the unexpected makes for amazing stories.

[@deb8268]

Thanks for the videos. My husband really enjoys watching your adventures and I started watching along with him and got a little bit hooked. 😀 We are still on lockdown here in New Jersey so we are looking forward to the next installment! Hope you safely got out and everyone is well!

[@justinpascarella]

Incredible feat of perseverance and persistence! - Fortunately you had a great team, tech, gear and 2 vehicles to make it all possible. Awesome job guys!

[@VideosOffRoad]

While there are snow conditions in which no 4x4 vehicle will have an easy time, your Jeeps will float on top of the snow a LOT better when they're not many hundreds of pounds overweight with roof rack, rooftop tent, awning, fridge, hinge steps, etc. Weight is absolutely the enemy of every off roader under most conditions. I used to carry much of that stuff (but no RTT) in my JKUR and have since abandoned it for much lighter, if less convenient, camping gear. Things have gotten very noticeably better being much more nimble. It's a balancing act, for sure. Love your videos, please keep them coming.

[@EFRT]

Yes, you’re right it’s always a balancing act of having the proper gear for long-haul extended overland travel and having the right weight for off-road situations. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

[@mr.president2031]

Honest to say, the last few episodes has been the most interesting footage to me. i love driving around videos

[@kevanharding9716]

This experience is priceless and to be doing it with family more so !

[@rcw93277]

You guys are all amazing! Your teamwork and attitudes are really inspiring. Mom out there cooking in tennis shoes and no socks obviously freezing brought tears to my eyes. A couple of days from now you will be laughing about this but in the meantime, hang in there. You are getting real close.

[@llkj7944]

Lived in that vacinty (with in 100klm) for 45 years, hunted and fish and snowmobiled it all my life encountering the same situations on a regular basis! Hat's off to your preparedness and preserving! In those few days you learnt alot about your gear and how to use it, plus yourselves!

[@Drofthing]

When everything turns to slush, chains can make a world of a difference.

Not when it is that deep.

chains dont work in all situations.. however with the depth of snow we see here.. they would have helped immensly on both rigs. taller tires as well...

[@chingon_grandpa]

Wow, just wow.. great team work guys.. glad everyone is safe.. this is where quality equipment matters.

[@timothygazda9441]

I pack winter survival gear, including boots, even when traveling in warm weather. Once flew into the Allegash in Maine in late May and it snowed. I was the only member of our party with cold weather gear! Never rely on the weather!

[@eastman40]

Good things about this family. The kids have grown up and are growing up but still like to be with their family. That’s just so amazing

[@ntsms69]

Totally exhausted just watching this. Trail says 'thou shall not pass'. Jeep says 'step aside'. Hope you are all safe and well.

[@terrymarlowjr.7883]

You guys kept your spirits up and work awesome together! Keep up the good work!

[@gannonfamily2000]

I have lived an wheeled around Mt. Shasta for 20 years. The one thing I learned about snow is that when it reaches a certain consistency you done. When night hits and the snow freezes again you can usually cruise on top real well. In addition running tire pressure as low as possible increases you foot print traction tremendously. In sand and snow that is the key. Except slushy snow. Game over unless you have a lot of extra fuel to burn.

[@EFRT]

You’re right. The snow was super slushy during the day but we tried to leave early in the morning when it was frozen and it really helped a lot. We eventually lowered our tire pressure to about 8 psi and that helped as well. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day! P.S.we love the Mount Shasta area!

[@himalgrg4874]

THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO ME . YES I NOTICED THAT THE SUN WASN'T OUT MUCH TOO. BE SAFE ! GOD BLESS !

[@Brahmb]

This video makes me feel better about what I did just this past Friday. It took me 2 hours to go about 500 yards through similar conditions. I winched about 8 times before I finally reached a spot I could winch around 180 degrees. Took me less than 5 minutes to go back the 500 yards. It sure does work better when there are ruts to go in.

[@Brahmb]

Ours was at 10PM. I couldn’t see to go far in reverse. We were out of cell range, ironically, my GMRS license came through the following day. Your video even made me have smell memory of that night - burning transmission and tires. I went from half a tank to running on fumes. I was simply trying to take my daughter on a fun shortcut. Live and learn. We made it home by 1:30 AM.

Love how your family works together...I'm from Grande Prairie AB and have played in the snow my whole life...tire chains would have helped you push through a lot of that rotten snow...also sleeping during the day and driving at night through the snowy sections would have helped...can't wait to watch the rest of the series...keep up the great content :)

[@michaellin6783]

D.W Haire it looks the tire pressure was too high.

[@tomdary1993]

Some viewers would complain that you take too long on the constant winching, but I feel it is more honest about what to expect when going over the passes in the spring. Thank you for another great video. I hope to be out on the trails in a couple of years.

[@rayelance6086]

Love the videos and the EPIC adventure in the snow but as a person who hates snow I would have turned back at the avalanche. Keep the shiney side up!!!!!

@@trakyboy5128 You've not had enough snow wheeling to know that would have only worked had they had tires at least double the width. Floatation has its limits. In deep slushy snow like they were in, only very wide and low-pressure tires would have been any different.

Next set of Maxi tracks, tie them to your rear bumper (be careful you don't run over your cord) that way when you get going you don't need to stop to go get them they will drag along behind you. Just a suggestion. We did this travelling in the desert.
