Broke down and stranded with no cell service.

- Huge thank you to Matt with @TumaloTransport for driving out into the middle of nowhere to drag me home!
While on my way back from picking up my new to me set of @mattracks, my pickup decided to send a fan blade through the radiator and leave me stranded deep in eastern Oregon with no cell service. Luckily I had my @ZOLEOLife satellite communicator with me and was able to send messages to my wife to let her know what was going on, and to Matt to coordinate him coming out to get me.
After that was all settled I had a lot of time to kill, so I edited a TH-cam video, and flew my @DJI drone around until the sun set

It’s a bad day when the towie needs another towie!
In a towie.
Man, I just realized… I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years now. Never had an interest in off road recovery, heavy hauling, tow videos, etc.. but here I am, and you are one of only 3 TH-camrs I still watch from back then. Your content is fantastic, you show the good parts and the bad, and you are a genuinely great dude. I look forward to continuing to watch your journey, don’t care what you are doing, what you sell or buy, I’m here for it. Thanks and I’m glad you got home safe.
Same😂
Same 😂 Buying, selling, towing, yard talks, therapy sessions, shenanigans 😂 We are here for it all😊
Zoleo....THIS is just another reason why I watch this channel. I didn't know this even existed! I hate Casey LaDelle!!!!!
Garmin Inreach has a similar unit, the Inreach Messenger and sortve the inReach mini 2. But any of the gps unit ones can be paired with your phone and the Garmin Explorer and/or Connect apps (I don't recall if they need one or both) and then you can text from your phone instead of the GPS unit's keypad.
@@NPzedinreach mini sucks to use
I've used a Zoleo both camping in rural Montana and for comms while working disaster relief. Can't speak highly enough on the unit. I did end up having an issue with battery swell due to leaving it plugged in all the time, ended up sourcing a replacement battery and installing myself for $35-$40. I expect years more use out of it.
Exactly!!!
Exceptional proof that Casey wasn’t born with a permanent hat. I like this ‘incomplete’ Casey better. Good looking guy!
I look a lot younger wearing a hat as well. Those damn forehead wrinkles
You’re a good guy Casey, Needs to be more like you out there !!!
😂
Lol, I literally just read this message and I hear casey say... Where's my hat, I need my hat.. lmao
@@jamiemccomb3879 "I’m incomplete"…
You’re safe. The truck is repairable and/or replaceable. That’s the MOST important thing 💙 Love to the family
When you say that you should have used the Western Star for this trip and you would have saved yourself that breakdown (minute 14:30), you can look at it from the "positive" side: if it broke down it was because it was about to fail (just like the Dodge), and even if it is an inconvenience, the breakdown happened to you in good weather, in a place where, even though it was far from home, the rescue was "easy"...
PS at the rate you are doing exchanges, I think that by the time winter comes you will be doing rescues with an M1 Abrahams hahaha
That would be funny. Customer: "I need off road rescue"..Casey: " sure, let me get all the transport permits for my abrams.. will be there in few weeks..". 😂
You mean an M88...... the beast that recovers Abrams
May it sucks that you broke down. Doesn't look like it's going to be too much to get it working again. At least the motor is not damaged. Nice to have friend to help get you out of a situation when needed.
Agreed. Looks like a new radiator and fan and she’ll be back in business
Friends are a great value to have in times of need.
You are a Wheeler-Dealer and I love it.
Sorry for your truck troubles.
You're a Good Man, Casey.
Fwiw, the Inreach doesn't require you to use the screen for composing messages, it's a backup option. It uses an app just like the zoleo, does everything the same (personally I think better) and has the screen as a backup option. My Inreach has literally saved lives, I don't leave home without it. I'm so thrilled to see a TH-camr in this space who's actually prepared 😂 it's refreshing.
Back in the days when I was buying fixing and swapping, I use to tell my wife it didn't cost me anything, I don't know why but she never seemed to believe me.
Real friends are the ones you can count on, no matter what😊 Sorry about your lost footage of the 14 Hour “Free” tow, car repairs that you paid for and your sponsorship money💰🥲 Glad that Matt could help you get back home. You always have such a positive attitude even in bad circumstances. Looking forward to seeing the old Dodge back on the road soon!👍😎
Amazing for a guy who loves speaking his mind, pulls no punches, cares less if he has haters and speaks fluent sarcasm......you sure do have friends that will drop everything and come to your rescue! You're a great guy Casey and Karma comes back full circle and good deeds are rewarded! Fan for life!!! 😊
Sorry the truck broke down. Glad you are ok and that Matt drove over to help. I admire how calm you are in a crisis and how you methodically take the steps in your power to change your situation. I am also sorry about the lost footage. Looking forward to seeing those tracks and the 4 others you teased us with.
Casey! You have spent too much time this summer broke down beside or on the highways! You have a real good friend in Matt , that was awesome of him to come way out there and haul your truck and trailer back home. I think those plastic fan blades were prone to breaking. Thanks for taking us along Casey, thumbs UP!!
Good to have friends who can help😊
When I travel in remote areas I also carry a satellite communicator. My Garmin Inreach Mini also links to my cell phone or tablet. I can type and full text messages on them. My children worry about dad on his adventures. With the Inreach I can let them know my location.. I have used it twice in emergencies. Once I had a water pump go out on my truck. I was able to have my son in law bring out a new water pump. The second time I was hiking on a wilderness beach and had to abort the hike due to bad weather. I was able to contact my wife and arranged for her to pick me up.
Was just going to say the inReach has the same capabilities through the EarthMate app. 🤙🏻
Starlink Mini. Service is $165 a month and will work anywhere you can see the sky.
Yeay! Matt to the rescue.
Was a first thought, but he is already in Oregon
Oh Casey, as an east coast driver, when you find a spot when the truck can be turned off and it's quiet --- nothing better.
30:35 'Cabovers fly great! They land like s!@#!' I laughed til I cried!
Me too.
I never "flew" any of the ones I drove but one nearly lifted off when a guy dove a D-6 over the beavertail of my lowbed on an icy up hill grade. He was a cool operator though.. When the whole rig started going backwards, he drove on up onto the tires and put the "brakes" on. It was super neat to watch.
Sorry about the breakdown, glad Matt could come get you!
At 14:44 the decision to take the pickup was a good one. The fan would still have gone through the radiator at a later date and probably when you were on a job with it.
I was going to say the same thing. Truck wasn't overworked, just had a cheap plastic fan.
“Cab overs fly Great ……but land like Sh*t”😱😂😂😂😂😂
Casey, some of us watch you because you are a good guy more than anything. So we are more interested in your situation and safety than the tracks.
Thanks for explaining why we never saw you going to help that couple with the broken down car. My wife and I were waiting to see the video. That's so awesome you paid for the repair with out a sponsor. your AWESOME! Love watching your videos!
it is great to have friends that have a truck to tow your truck/trailer home for you and your safe and the truck repair isn't major 👍
Sorry for the break down, I hate vehicle trouble. I chuckled when you said you had no $$.... except the breakdown. To be fair that truck may have broken down at any time. If I know you you'll check that truck out when repairing it to make sure everything was in order or upgraded. You find out who your friends are in a tight spot, thank GOD for good, capable friends, it's always great to see an appearance from them in your video. Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank heavens you’re Ok and you were prepared for exactly this type of emergency. It’s also a relief that the damage to your truck was only the fan and radiator.
I had this exact thing happen to me. Until today I thought I was just unlucky. Well, now I’m just another person whose fan decided to kamikaze the radiator.
I am very glad that it is your radiator and not your engine.
I LOVE THAT YOU KEEP SUCH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. THANK GOD FOR GOOD FRIENDS!!!
My friend and I broke down in a U-Haul deep in West Virginia. 1996-pre cellphones. Was stuck at a gas station for 12 hours, had to unload U-Haul and repack a new one by ourselves and still drive to Charlottesville, va. What should have been an 8 hour trip took 21. 30 years later, we still talk that it was one of the best afternoons ever-while technology was limited, it was quiet and a great way to step back for a while. looking for something positive is a great lesson to take from a break down.
Best part of the vid, You got rescued by a Ford 😜😂 🤘
I mean Casey has a ford dually too, and a chevy, and a jeep. Not like he's "dodge guy" he's a whatever he finds for a deal guy
The bonus was t was a King Ranch!
You have rescued so many people. I hope the doctor is a guy patient. The teasing of your friends makes It all worth while😅❤.
Got to agree with Casey .. breaking down isn't a drama when you're safely off the road , you have plenty of snacks & water , the weather & scenery is nice & you know a good Buddy is on their way to get you ..... but having all those ducks is a rare event
That fan was going to come apart sooner or later. What a great place for it to happen! Only three hours from home, so a buddy could drive his pickup over to get you. There are a million other places you could have broken down, and lots of them are much worse. You made sure you were not dependent on cell service: Good foresight. You didn't have to hitchhike and leave your truck and trailer to thieves, or pay for a tow.
Similar Amount Of Sketchy is a great name for your second channel featuring all the fun you have with Nate and all.
So, what you are trying to say, I think, is good choices were made? Or not. One thing that makes your channel so fun to watch, at least for me, is that you roll the dice a lot more than I ever would, living on the edge as it were. Now, when I do that, the nearest house or town might be a mile away. For you, a lot of miles.
Enjoy your videos.. you don’t let anything get to you.. 🙏that is all some.🙏new name for you “ Cool hand Casey “😊🙏
Inreach has the on device in addition to being able to text from your phone via Bluetooth connection. Or if you have a garmin watch some of them can be used as well to send through inreach.
"Cabovers fly great" is the t shirt I need!
Needs a mention on the landing tho 😂
You are my #1 TH-cam guy. You have the most unusual equipment that I have ever seen and I enjoy every one of them. Your big wrecker is great. I drove wrecker part time and never saw a rig like that. It makes a lot of sense that it is many trucks rolled into one. Sorry about the Dodge crapping out. Keep up the great videos.
On the positive side for that last 100 miles your truck got the best fuel mileage it ever has since you have owned it.😂
A good FORD to the rescue 😊
Hindsight is always 20/20
Sucks about the SD card.
You're a good man Casey.
That really sucks about the lost footage, but awesome for what you did to help that couple. That sort of stuff seems to happen, no matter how careful you are. Especially when there's a lot of stuff going on.
I remember when I had a satellite phone for work, before cell phones were common. Didn't use it much. Didn't seem to work very well. Mostly, though, we used CB's and VHF radios to communicate. I would still have them, if I was doing the same job. The CB has been really helpful over the years. The VHF radio was also really helpful.
What a fantastic example of improvisation for all the yutes out there! Be prepared everybody, and develop solid relationships along this journey of life and you won't be stranded for too long given mechanical failures. Thank you for including us in your adventures!
Geez mate...Friends are so damned fabulous....Are still some champions in existence.👍
Too bad you lost those recordings from the other recovery trip, and you had to carry all expenses by yourself.
You are a good guy, Casey.
That satellite deal is cool I never knew you could send messages with them.
No matter how well you perform maintenance you can’t avoid part failures.
All my years of cross country truckin' I loved stopping in the middle of nowhere like that to take my breaks. The deserts and high plains were my favorites.
Your explanation as to why you took the pu instead of the truck reminds of something my Dad used to say “a big horse loafing is better than a little horse working its ass off”. The point being if you are maxing out the capability of a tool it will break, if you’re using a tool at 1/2 to 3/4 of its potential it’s gonna last way way longer, also as you pointed out the slight difference in fuel mileage the added cost of the motels negated whatever fuel savings the pu created. I’ve always thought these guys trying to run over the road freight with a pu instead of a class 7, lightweight class 8 are really just fooling themselves if they think there is any cost advantage…. 25 years ago when a diesel pu got 25 mpg and 17th towing while trucks got 6 there was maybe an advantage but in todays world where the pu gets 8 to 10 and certain spec’d trucks are getting 9 to 12 there ain’t no advantage other than not needing a cdl
Zoleo looks like a neat device. Break downs are something I think about but luckily haven’t had to deal with it out here in Nevada. Ended up ordering the zoleo thanks to your video for my trips to the desert.
Thank You Matt for getting Casey home safe. I would be willing to bet that fan was going to "blow-up" no matter where you were at what ever point you would have been, Just glad it didn't happen on your way to or in the middle of a job.
Too bad about the truck.. damn. Thanks for the video.
A real bummer about losing that footage. Damn. 😥😥😥
I had to do a similar thing back in 08'. Towing my GN to Richmond VA lost the AC clutch bearing in the middle of nowhere. Pulled it off the road into a construction pullout, disconnected the trailer and drove the truck onto it. Strapped it down. Waited for a friend (2 hours away) to show up and tow me home. Thanks for sharing..
Oh, I went through that Kaboom/white exhaust thing driving across northern Nevada. Stuck thermostat = cracked block. Having to get the car fixed made all my young-person’s plans change. Went back to college.
Someone Drives by and calls the Police, There's a Man out on the Side of the Road talking to Himself 🤪
Where he is , the middle of nowhere
@@jeffclark2725 nobody listens to him anyhow! :)
Just glad you are ok and have good friends that are able to help you
I have Garmin InReach and it Bluetooth's to my phone to send and receive messages and I absolutely love it!!
I'm going to get starlink mini for calling in no coverage areas. Texting is okay but it's kinda hard to get ahold of a auto parts store via text. I've had them deliver a part to where I'm broke down.
It sucks your truck broke down, but you have a great friend that came and rescued you. Hope the repair is going to cost you an arm and leg. Always enjoy your videos.
Sorry about the lost footage and the busted radiator, Casey. Good to have friends like Matt (and Ben) to throw you a life-line every now and then.
You're an inspiration to not be scared by adventure. I appreciate what you do for the world.
I'll try to buy a T-shirt next time I have some extra money dude to try and help out,
Right now it's all I can do to pay rent, insurance, and food.
66°F up here in the first 13.
Stay safe 🙏🏻
Never a dull moment on the road. The satellite modem is brilliant. Not as good as a sat phone but cheaper and as handy.
I'm waiting for the day when Casey does an Edison hybrid conversion of the Western Star. 50% fuel savings and better torque. 😊
What a bummer...butt...awesome sunset/ video..
😮glad all well and safe. The fan would have broken somewheres else if had used another of your trucks. Figure it all as a good hand of cards. It could be raining at night on super sketchy piece of roadway.
😊
Hell of a trip. Thankfully you were only 3 ish hours from home. I like how you still stay positive!
Well, you CAN bolt them on to the Dodge that doesn't run...but it does kinda run...probably just not for long though. I love that little PUT camper, seems incredibly functional especially for its size.
Sorry Casey what a bummer to happened being on the road for so many days !
Bummer that all the footage was lost, I remember you saying that's what was going in. It would have been great to see, and your sponsor would have saved you the cost.
Casey, you are a great storyteller. Hope the truck (and your pocketbook) recovers.
The Ram / Cummins fan would have piled up at some point so don’t kick yourself for it happing on this trip.
thanks for taking care of the people
THANK YOU
Shame you broke down so near home, after 4 days on the road.....at least you got recovered and home....stay safe and see you soon Casey
I feel your pain my Ram broke down on the way home shredded a belt 118 miles from home. Thank god for AAA gold 100 miles 1 way towing still ended costing me 90 dollars out of pocket.
I keep an xtra belt under my seat.
I love your channel you have a big heart always helping people.!!!!!
Casey, can you imagine how many people would be freaked out out there with no civilization in sight and no phone service. Looks like heaven to me.😂
You just moved your fan problem up a few months... :)
Glad you are safe, and congrats on the 'free' tracks...
Cab-overs fly great, but land like shit!! 🤣 I had to pause the video so i could wipe the tears from my eyes.
35:35 did you forget his Oversized Load signs in your pickup?!?!🇺🇸🙏
Great video. Don't let the tracks land on your foot again.
I would almost suggest a 100,000 mile fan replacement on working trucks.
Replacing known-fail items a preventative maintenance on a work truck makes a lot of sense.
You need a Starlink Mini. I got one a couple of months ago and it would work perfect for your travels. Your phone can fully work - phone calls, texts messages, web surfing, maps, email, etc - with cellular over WiFi via the Starlink. Mine has been working perfectly sitting on my dash when moving down the highway too.
Good to see you get back!
The ultimate no trailer setup for tracked vehicles is definitely the roll back then you get two crowd favorites in one the rollback and the tracked “jeep”
Glad You are OK!
I drive a lot for work and have a Zoleo as well. Great peace of mind. Accidentally used the SOS when first figuring it out - their team was quick to respond. Haven't had a true need for it yet but I feel way better having it on hand.
You even found your own "yard" to brake down and load up in. It will be interesting to see what the carnage really was. That satellite gizmo with the texts is cool. Glad to see the rollback is helpfu working for a friend as well as you 😊
Love the friends that are there for you, that is awesome!!
Hay bud hope your friend that is picking you up dosnt charge you to much Re you help so many folks great guy you are
I enjoy your positive spirit and knowledge flow.
At least nobody got hurt. Stay safe and we'll see you next time.
Glad you're ok and safe dude ❤
I am in areas with no cell service all the time. The Zoleo sure comes in handy. I use the 250 message plan and have never come close to maxing it out. Works great right on the dash!
Love the positive outlook Casey big thumbs up 👍
Glad you and your friend home safe.
interesting , Thank You . A fine example that sometimes the rescuer needs a rescue
