Drone crash recovery mission - DJI Mini 2 almost lost in wilderness
มุมมอง 1262 ปีที่แล้ว
I hit the tree on the other side of canyon as I was taking aerial video of my truck. At first moment I though - ok, I just lost my brand new DJI Mini 2. But I checked the time, I realized that I have at least 4 hours of daylight left. So I decided to embark on a rescue mission across the canyon. I grabbed some hiking gear and took off.
Spring birch tapping trip in BC - Spring camping - Power Wagon in backcountry

Did I get stuck again? | Spring camping in the snow | Power Wagon in snow
มุมมอง 4122 ปีที่แล้ว
I was heading up to the campsite by the lake after tapping birch trees late in the evening, but snow was so deep that I could not even find the turnoff from main road. I took the risk to turn around on a road covered with spring melt-freeze snow which was freezing up for the night with sparsely tracked two tracks. I managed to turn around successfully just to get stuck a few minutes later on a ...
Turned back by massive washout | Early spring camping | Power Wagon Overland

On this weekend I planned to head out deep into backcountry but I had to turn back at 50th kilometer where road was completely washed away. As it was already afternoon I decided that I have to find a campsite in the area and stay there. After some wondering I did find a decent site and spent an awesome evening and first part of Sunday there before heading back home.

On an early Saturday morning I was heading out for some backcountry ski adventure but ended up stuck in the backcountry traffic. It's amazing how many people are eager to get stuck in the snow:).

After good part of my day waiting for other people to get unstuck and helping to pull others out of the ditch I arrive at nearby ski resort in ...

Was it a first winter camping already? | Power Wagon Overland | Fall Camping
มุมมอง 2.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
On a Friday night I head out to the designated campground in Cascade Mountains just off Coquihalla highway in BC. After quite chilly night I pack and head out to explore high mountain back-roads. By the next evening I return to dispersed campsite I stumbled across earlier in the day. After a stormy night I wake up to find my camp covered in fresh snow. I wonder if it is a winter already.
May long weekend trip (Pt.2) | Solo Camping and deepest bush ever | Stock Power Wagon overland

I wake up to a very different weather on my last day of the trip at my roadside campsite. I take a slow morning considering what else I could explore in Shovel Creek and Big Silver area just East of Harrison lake in BC.

May long weekend trip (Pt.1) | Stock Power Wagon off-road | Rooftop tent camping

Victoria Day weekend traditionally is summer camping season opening in BC. So on a Friday afternoon I loaded my Power Wagon with usual camping gear and headed out for a weekend adventure.

Soon after I got off the paved road I realized that I a...

    Weight doesn’t matter you’re running too much tire pressure 10 to 15 psi is best for snow even lower for bead locks

  • @lylemacdonald6672
    @lylemacdonald6672 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I realize the PW is a rather heavy truck but given the snow depth and consistency I would like to think the truck should not struggle so much, assuming you are running good winter/M&S tires. It is like the torque is too great for the amount of traction inherent in the tires and they break loose and dig divits. The weight of the truck facilitates making these divits. I have driven in all types of Canadian snow conditions for almost 50 years in various light duty trucks and have rarely gotten myself bogged down like this.

    From a fellow power wagon owner..You don’t back the heavy end of a truck down the incline.. same for any truck. Much harder to back up it. 60-70% of your traction is on the front wheels. Iv learned that the hard way myself.

    I have 2 PW's. More importantly years of snow driving experience. Here are tips I'm giving to you. 3-400 lbs of weight in the bed. Cinder blocks or bags of sand. 4 high for your transfer case in mud or snow.. 4 low is for steep climbing or pulling. Put some pedal in that truck. It's not a Prius. Momentum is everything hence never 4 low. The low gearing is breaking traction at a slow pace.

    That’s got to be some rough snow. It takes quite a bit to bog my PW in the white stuff. Good job taking it slow and working through the situation instead of just trying to throttle out of the problem.

    • @weekendoutdooradventures
      @weekendoutdooradventures 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Snow in South West BC generally is wet and heavy, somewhat frozen, also deep, those FSRs are never ploughed unless active logging is going on. We can have up to 5 feet of snow on top of the road here. I turned back earlier that day from other place with 4 feet of snow covering the road.

    Would a Maxtrax style Vehicle Recovery Board work in deep snow like you experienced?

    • @weekendoutdooradventures
      @weekendoutdooradventures 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They work for lighter vehicles. I have seen more than few being broken by half ton trucks so never bothered to waste the money for single use pieces of plastic. PW is an HD truck and weighs almost double of average Jeep, so in cold temperatures those plastic pieces would shatter like a glass under the weight of PW. But that is just my opinion from what I have seen. Have never actually tested and probably never will, just do not want to spend money on pieces of plastic that could break on first use.

  • @gungadin70

    20 PSI seems to be a good pressure to start with on any off road trail. Who makes the rear bumper? And I see you got rid of the duratracs and went with some coopers , I've ran the stt pros for 40,000 kms now, great tire .

    Nice rig! seems like you drive in snow quite a bit. I was considering the coopers like it seems you have however in PA I shoe the falken widpeak AT3W with the 3 peak snow rating. You might want to consider a tire with the 3PMSF for the next set which will help tremendously in snow. Love the color on your PW. Considering getting one myself!

    • @weekendoutdooradventures
      @weekendoutdooradventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I chose Cooper AT3 XLTs because I only hit the snow once I go deep into woods so I considered M+S is good enough for me, there is almost never snow on roads or highways around where I live. I carry chains though which I rarely use as in most cases I get through with few attempts. Thanks.

    I live in North Dakota and feel that airing down in snow is counter productive. You want to dig down to the ground, not float over the snow.

    • @weekendoutdooradventures
      @weekendoutdooradventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We generally have deeper snow here in the woods, so digging down leaves you stuck badly high centered. Been there before with my son's truck and we got home only because some random dude was as crazy as us to go that deep, thanks though. The problem was exactly that - we had skinny fully inflated tires and dug down deep enough to suspend ourselves on the frame with all four wheels freely spinning in the air. In shallow snot it totally would have worked fine. In this episode it is not all that deep so it may have worked better with fully inflated tires. Thanks.

    Hey I am looking to get a 2018 power wagon. It has very low miles(14,000). Do you think it is worth getting?

    • @weekendoutdooradventures
      @weekendoutdooradventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      14,000 miles sounds like might be a good option. I would be a bit curious though why so low miles, so I would check some incident/service history. Keep in mind that 2018 is still with old 6 speed transmission, like I have. Honestly, I sometimes do miss my 8 speed I had in Rebel before, but it is not a deal braker to me as I am not trying to be first off at green light in the city. I value my lockers and disconnecting sway bar more than a couple extra gears.

    @HellcatM6 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    those little 33's from the factory are the worst tires I ever driven on. Super slippery in snow and rain. after 10k miles they are horrible on all surfaces. when tires wear their traction characteristics change. Mickey Thompson and cooper sst have the best wear characteristics of any all terrain I've used. They stay grippy for their entire tread life. Makes all the difference

    • @weekendoutdooradventures
      @weekendoutdooradventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      In this episode it is not so much tires than snow condition. When snow is wet and sticky no tire can help much unless you go really big and MT may be. I was generally quite happy with my Duratracks they served me well for 2 years (28K km) until I punctured same tire twice. I swapped to Cooper Discoverer XLT AT3 now and a bit bigger size 315x70x17 which is as big as you can fit in stock spare wheel location.
