Stuck in Remote Mexican Sand Dunes with Everything We Own

[@affalada6868]

Sand dunes and a school bus seems like a bright idea lol😂😂😂

[@bluenose_bus]

Done it for three years without a problem 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s a hard packed road if you take the right one :)

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Seen Bus Rv Conversions and Class A Rv and toter homes all over the desert 🏜 as long as you stay on Hard pack it's all good you can get stuck in anything I've seen more Trucks Full size suv and full size vans stuck in the desert and dunes than busses or big rv's

[@bluenose_bus]

@@phoenixarizona8441 yeah, we have a mud/snow setting that actually does so well at getting out of the sand! We have spent about 80% of the last three years driving on sand and this is our first time getting really stuck so I’d say those are pretty good odds

[@skismosis]

the last place on earth that i would take a bus that big, ???? oh my goodness, who's plan was this ?

[@Togo-420]

You go all that way to disconnecting the first thing you do when you get there is put up a star link? If that doesn't say anything about these times, I don't know what does.

[@lockelamora0717]

For future reference, you'll have better luck pulling a stuck vehicle out the way it came in. Pulling it forward requires you to cut a new path through the ground. Pulling it backward uses the tracks you already made.

[@Jayco26]

Exactly!

[@sometimesoonfan]

Wait now she's crying on top of it!!! Who can this poor guy work on top of having to deal with her crying! THIS AN AMAZING EPISODE!

[@SuperBajafresh]

Duh, most travelers in vans/etc., get out of the vehicle and walk a road when it looks suspicious before they travel on it, like sand. Duh, grow up and mature. ha-ha, did ya learn a lesson?

[@franticproductions]

I'm 73 so I can tell you that you'll grow out of the 'Freaking out', stage. And now I want that Taco. 'Authentic' Taco's are indeed next level.

[@bluenose_bus]

Ahhh amazing! I think I’ve already done a lot of progress in the three years we’ve been on the road, but I still panic a little haha. Glad to hear that. It’s so true that authentic tacos are the best

Thank you so much! Haha he’s a very good boy. 🫶🏼

[@garry4816]

If you're going into places like this may I suggest. Mount at least a 9000 lb winch on the bus or jeep. Get a sand spade, a snatch block and learn how to use them. Watch Casey LaDelle At Cascade Towing You will learn how he rigs for pulling. Good Luck from a former big rig RVer.

[@conchscooter]

Good advice but I have a 12,000 lb winch on our 9400 pound Promaster…and if they are going in soft sand they need a Deadman. And some common sense.

[@jakester455]

Whatcha gonna hook it to?

[@devinholland2189]

@@jakester455 With a shovel some canvas bags and a bunch of time you can build some fairly strong anchors in the sand.

[@Monkey-ut7ke]

Great idea!

[@EnufIsTooMuch]

PLEASE STOP using that flimsy tow rope with the hooks on it. Those things are dangerous. I know you are hearing this from other commenters, but adding good quality recovery gear and learning to use it would much improve your traveling security and adds to the fun! Suggest adding a winch, such as the Harbor Freight Badlands Apex with synthetic winch line. Two shovels. One long handled with rectangular blade for reaching well under the bus. Another with pointed blade A sand anchor is sometimes the only thing when there are no trees to pull to, or other vehicles. A Yankum recovery rope sized to the vehicle doing the pulling, not to the vehicle being pulled. If you use both the buss and the jeep to pull, that's two ropes. At least two soft shackles. If they are not already installed you need recovery points at both ends of both vehicles. You can learn a great deal about getting unstuck by watching some of these folks using the right gear the right way: www.youtube.com/@MattsOffRoadRecovery www.youtube.com/@CaseyLaDelle www.youtube.com/@trailmater The very best kinetic recovery ropes are made in Utah by these guys: www.youtube.com/@YankumRopes Some of those videos will show you that yes, sometimes a smaller vehicle can get a much bigger and heavier one unstuck. That's using the kinetic rope and using it the right way. Last comment, search KZbin for "off road recovery". You will find tons of info on using the right gear safely. :)

[@Scrambler85]

I 💯 agree

[@simpliciomacatiag4457]

I AGREE! AND DO not take a School BUS on SAND Guys at lease not you're kind of BUS

[@Togo-420]

It was dollar store rope even worse.

[@oc6huki]

Looked like the jeep couldn’t even break its own tires loose on sand.

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

Yeah... kinda weird they have an almost bone stock jeep. At least put nice tires on it and a small lift ​@oc6huki

[@desert4seat]

Feel bad for that guy. Nothing like having a hysterical woman who thinks she's in charge... just making the bad situation way worse. LOL.

[@lilyLily1824]

Beautiful scenery! Ev one gets stuck, lighten up on them people! It’s adventure! Don’t cry! You’re good!

I would never do that in Mexico knowing the dangers there. Last time I went tk Sonora, MX was 2011 & hear its getting worse all over the country. Thank God you're guys are safe 🙏

[@desert4seat]

You're right. You'd be better off not going to Mexico. Stay home where it's safe.

[@scrappygirl--danayates3075]

Why would you take a heavy bus into sand?

[@bluenose_bus]

We’ve done it for the past three years with no issues. It’s a pretty hard packed road if you stay on the main path. I don’t know why Brendan took a different way out than the one we always take 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@quantumquestions5849]

🤣🤣🤣🤣yeah 3 yrs

[@conchscooter]

What we do when we’re in a jam is we stop, make a cup of tea and ask ourselves what’s best? Then we act. Don’t lose control of the scene if you can. Do it slowly whatever you do and don’t make things worse. I’ve made all these mistakes but we’re still on the road in our Promaster. Cheers from Ecuador.

[@bluenose_bus]

That’s actually such great advice! Thank you!

[@conchscooter]

@@bluenose_bus from bitter experience!

[@ReelJeff]

Little tip. First thing you should do if you start sinking is stop moving immediately to avoid digging deeper, release the air from your tires to about 10psi, put any type of traction boards or wood under the tires, and try again

[@jamiyabennett4503]

The dog helping to dig is the sweetest thing

Yesss! Max trex pads! We’ve heard good things about them for lighter vehicles but they are a little expensive and since we had never really gotten stuck we never bought them! I wonder if they work for a vehicle as heavy as ours! We’ll have to try it one day!

First time viewer. What adventuresome couple. I love the pup. I am old (64) and have ridden my motorcycles over 100,000km in every state in Mexico. The one thing that is certain in Mexico is you cannot swing cat without hitting good tacos.

[@JohnnyC10071959]

@@bluenose_bus I am sure you three will travel the Mexican mainland. The highlands are amazing in the summer, stay above 6000 feet and give that mini split a rest. BTW: the build out of that bus; solar and energy storage. Well done. I look forward to following you and maybe running into you. I am an old guy on a Honda Gold Wing.

[@JimZabad]

You need to purchase a 30’ long kinetic rope. It works like a rubber band. Any name brand strap will do the trick. Watch videos like Matt Off Road and Recovery to learn how to use them. He actually sells them on his website. Don’t purchase a strap made in China. They are half the cost but cheaply made.

Yes, our tires are usually aired down for Baja just because of how many beaches we drive on. Unfortunately this was actually more of a clay/mud under the sand so that’s what we were really stuck in.

If you can ditch the tow hooks on your little tow rope. In the event of a failure they tend to become potentially lethal projectiles. If you have them tire chains will also work in mud and sand to give you a boost in traction.

As a trucker when I seen the dog got out started running and I saw the dog leaving paw prints I said yep that sand is wet. The weight of that bus gone sink, next time dig and if that sand is wet don't park it.

[@bluenose_bus]

Yess 100% agree. It wasn’t where we were parked, we made sure that was dry. It was on the way out. The path we had gone on in from was underwater because of the tide so we took a different path out and didn’t check it out first. Definitely should have made sure it was hard packed before sending it while also towing the jeep 😭🤷🏼‍♀️
