A sprinter van got stuck on a mountain road right next to a steep drop off, so in order to pull him sideways away from the edge I wanted to get a little bit on the ditch to help hold my truck. I got a little close and ended up sliding all the way into the ditch and getting stuck myself. After winching the van away from the cliff, I winched myself back onto the road, then pulled up above him to pull him all the way back into the road.

You’re right! You’re not good at this because you are awesome at this:-)
Great job on your truck and his van!👍😎 You never said that you were good at this…😂 Your kindness to help others with such a great attitude is awesome. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
Hindsight might say that Sprinter had no business being on a mountain road with 6 inches of snow on the ground and more falling, but we all get in unanticipated situations occasionally, and if we're lucky, we get out in one piece. Nice work.
I have driven in 20 cm snow with a Sprinter, with snow tires.
Rear wheel drive, never any issues.
Jeff, as someone who lived in Central Oregon for 10 years, I can't explain how conditions change from a quarter mile, to 200 feet elevation, to shady areas, to sunlit. They do a great job plowing the roads (even neighborhoods), so you can get by with decent tires as long as you keep it on the road. Snow tires are a tough concession if you drive on the highway a lot. 🙂👍
@@dubious6718 I had a '74 Torino wagon with studded tires all around. There was almost no place in Central Oregon I couldn't go. 👍
@@dubious6718 Well it's just a matter of time if you keep driving in ten inch's of snow before your luck will turn sour and you will be calling for help
@@jonhaynes1577 It has 4x4, but it drives fine with just rear wheel drive.
Very good work and fun thanks 👍
You're such a blessing to all of the people in your life.
For someone who is NOT GOOD at anything, that someone sure has a lot of luck on his side...
Great job Casey 👍👍👍👍👍
@@Boga217 good battery definitely makes a huge difference with winches.
Well said, Thumbs up
@@Boga217 doesn't really do much good if the engine is sitting there idling. he needs to bring the throttle up when winching so the alternator is actually doing some work and not allowing the battery to drain so much.
@@Boga217 converting the lights to led from halogen really won't not make much of a difference if the rpms are up and the alternator is able to put out it max amperage. saving a possible 5 amps likely wont be noticeable where getting an extra 50 or so amps by keeping the rpm's up would be.
Great 👍Recovery
Have a Great Day 👍
That poor Sprinter van was in a predicament there. Ice under snow is the worst. Ice over snow makes at least for some traction. What a great recovery Casey!
Thanks!
Everyday is a better day when your positive . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel.
This is why I really like running a winch on my truck, mostly for self recoveries, but also to help someone else if need be. I think your pickup is the perfect candidate for a recovery vehicle since it has the tool boxes and storage for all your gear. Only thing I'd do is replace the front winch and add some additional lights and call it a day, so far it seems to be a solid truck that's very capable.
front and rear lockers might not hurt.
@@iffykidmn8170
It wouldn't, but it depends on if he wants that feature.
"I never said I was any good at this." Ha! And DO NOT mess with the wrecker!
😊❤👍👍👍👍👍
I get so cold watching these snow recoveries. But, I do get a warm feeling in my heart.
Great job! We had our home in Black Butte Ranch for years! Know exactly where you were! Live now in Casa Grande, Arizona.
Thanks for taking us along Casey safe travels and keep up the god work
Incredible insight or mistake? ("god" "good") suggesting the role of UTube has elbowed religion off the stage somewhat.
"The 88" I like for the wrecker name but like you said it's about perfect for being almost 40yrs old
You are good at this. The guys who aren't good at this either stay home or need to be rescued. You may get in predicaments but your skills and ingenuity get you out. Good job.
Assumption is the mother of ALL foul ups and then you find Murphys rule just around the bend
Good job. I wish I was able to say “no charge” to customers, the look on their faces should be reward enough, but unfortunately that doesn’t keep the bank manager happy for everyone.
Keep up the good job, and hopefully my acting of liking and commenting will keep you in a position of keeping others smiling.
Merry Christmas from London, England. We had three inches of snow last week and we ground to a halt for two days through shear panic. You guys would have died laughing at our patheticness.
I noticed..all the global warming,,causing more cold and snow. Right now is not even a record, in any way.
I try to do 1 good deed a day, but not up in the woods or snow. You’re right, it doesn’t pay the bills
@@timcaviezel69 interesting and unique name. Long distance relation to Jim Caviezel the actor or not really your name?
@@chriskulpa4056
His dad is my 1st cousin. Jim and l are the same age. We grew up about 2 hrs away, but did spend alot of time together in our youth
@@timcaviezel69 Dude that is so awesome!! I Love him in Person of interest. I was sad that show didn't go further :( Tell him good job from a fan if you still talk.
Hope you and family have a oMerry Christmas
got to love the "go ahead, and back up"
IM A BAY AREA MAN AND I LUV YOUR SHOW
Good job Casey. Thank for your video’s and your service to your Community. God bless you all the time.
I’ve been watching one video after another , I watch MORR and now I have another favorite channel to watch. Nice!!!
Casey is providing such an immersive experience I just found myself turning my head so I could get a better look under the van.
Good man 👍
I watch you more and more and this video made me like you more and more... Never said i was good at this, getting stuck, using what you have and the smack fix... Hell ya Casey, keep it up and i'll keep watching
Doing my due diligence in liking and commenting so the TH-cam keeps Casey going.
I Like your plan
Your not stuck, just temporarily detaind unless you have to call somebody to pull your rig out.😅 Good recovery with a good heart.
Love what you do for people! Actually heartwarming. Watching from Edmonton, Canada!
You might not say you are good at this . . . but I can say you are good at this, dang good at it . . . some folks talk about how good they are . . . your actions show how professionally accomplished you are . . .
Awesome dual recovery!
You're both out in the end, and that's what counts. :-)
The winch draw should be supplied by a separate battery bank so it doesn't take your primary battery down.
You got the video…you got your win!
good job!
Some type of Battery isolater is in your future. Excellent video and recovery technique. Definitely keeping vehicles that need to move distances on highway closer to stock is a big advantage.
Gotta get you a badlands for that rig. Also love the utility covered bed on it
Casey, I often find myself wondering about something. How long does it take a Y.T. content provider to get to the point of being able cary on a conversation with a camera and make it feel so natural to a viewer. I always feel as if you are speaking directly to me. I am amazed at how your thoughts just flow out. It is as if you are having a two-way conversation with someone sitting next to you. Despite your often cited tag line, you are "good at this". Good at recovery work and at making your audience feel we are right there with you.
If you can get yourself unstuck than it's definitely a win
Got to give Casey credit, he stays calm, dosent seem to get rattled, first thing I'd say to this guy"what the hell are you doing up here in a sprinter van" he refrains from that, kudos to him.
Personally I never call it stuck if you can get out and drive away without anyone else's help, just using the equipment you have with you or around you and some ingenuity. Otherwise, I would have to admit I get stuck a lot more than I actually do. Great video as usual, thanks for all you teach us along the way. Every one of your videos adds to my shopping / wish list. I didn't own a kinetic rope or soft shackles before I found your videos.
feeding my face... clicked on your vid.... and tipped my head back to put in said food... and all I heard was " no I need recovered to". lol. Caseys bad day is still a good day
Well, at least you have 2 winches and all the other stuff to get yourself out. The main thing is u were able to get him going too. Happy holiday's to you and the family.
No charge, you got a bigger heart than the tow driver I encountered.
Whenever I did laundry I'd go have a coffee at the cafe right beside it; you get to know people's faces. One winter I left my lights on when I did laundry and of course it didn't start. One of the patrons at the cafe I recognized happened to walk to his tow truck and I offered ten bucks for a jump, this was around 2007 or so. The guy says 45 bucks and I'll do it, meanwhile my car is few cars away from his truck. Anyway, I refused and I took the bus 3 km home, grabbed the company van I was driving went back and jump started my car. I then drove BOTH vehicles home stopping every few blocks to alternate each vehicle forward until I got back home. Those were the days I had some real perseverance and stubbornness.
Welcome to my neighborhood. That road is notorius for sucking in unsuspecting people.
One thing that I like about this Chanel is too see that there are people still out there willing to help people in need and get too learning recovery points on certain kinds of vehicles is a plus too thank you Casey
One of those alternators that you can weld with would be a cool addition to make it more of a repair vehicle.
Actually laughed out loud at 5:24; say this same thing to myself on an almost daily basis. Also have "fixed" my headlights exactly the same way as you did at 16:02. Thanks for the great videos!
The "ice under the snow" you pointed out is the tea cup of ice created by tires spinning on the snow. The rest of the road may not have that layer of ice. For this reason I never use the spin out method to try and get unstuck. Rocking is usually better than spinning when stuck. In this case where going backwards at all is a terrible idea, before calling for a winch recovery, I would have placed fir branches under and in front of the tires for some snowshoe-like traction. For a low ground clearance vehicle, I would also remove snow in front of the vehicle so it doesn't cause the vehicle to toboggan and lift weight off the tires. Never trust the edges of roads covered in a lot of snow. The ditches can completely fill to be level with the road and may be several feet deep. Walk over anything unknown before driving towards the edge. I'm speaking from the point of view of a Canadian driver who does not have a winch on their vehicle.
You might have gotten stuck but you got both out so that is the important thing
Love when you mention Black Butte because Black Butte porter by Deschutes Brewing is one of my favorite beers and kinda rare here in Michigan.
Great job got him out safe
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Casey, I’m still dry thanks for dragging me along for the drive. 😊
For someone who is NOT GOOD at this, you are amazingly good at this
You're good enough to get him out safely . Nice job
That's Honorable of you to help this guy w/no charge, you are very good at your job. I don't understand how you can afford not to accept, but that's none of my biz. Maybe your rich. Have a great day Casey. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I enjoy riding with you
Just a guess. But he potentially does other jobs for cash that he doesn't film, while he relies on ad revenue from videos like these for people that are willing to let him take the time to film the recovery.
So we the viewers help him continue doing free recoveries by watching and liking the videos and interacting.
You did great. Surprisingly Sprinter did so good.
I've noticed that with that specific winch when I changed out the short drum winch on my LJ with that same model. The reason I "jumped" from using the old standard of 1 1/2 times weight of vehicle to double plus for my JT. Lower working effort for winch lower electric load.
New winch and a second battery and alternator upgrade surely ?
Get you a Badlands from Harbor Freight. All the cool kids are doing it.
Someone said the APEX is a pretty solid winch for the money😉🤣
Ditches are my friend! As someone that does recoveries with a little 2-door SUV, I often use ditches to help anchor me. I would have totally believed you if you said you put your truck there on purpose (but I know you wouldn't mislead us like that). 😁
HEY! Good morning Casey and thumbs UP!!
A couple of AGM batteries with heated blanket around them. Big alternator and some way to turn up the idle speed to give it more to work with.
Hey Casey, you didn’t get stuck you just improved the anchorability of your truck to better winch out the customer👍. Thanks Casey
Love the Fonzi bump on the headlight. I had a Ford Excursion that had the same headlight issue. Great to watch your videos! Have a merry Christmas!
That truck should have a high idle feature
Nope
I find it interesting that Casey has a fleet of various vehicles to choose from, similar to Rory/trail mater, to do rescues/recoveries with. You never know which of four or five vehicles will be called upon. While his motto is "I never said I was good at this", it tends to be an understatement as he always gets the vehicle out.
Yeah, true. I guess his motto is in response to all the critics who point out anything they don't like.
Great recovery, recovery, lol you saved the other vehicle and you saved yourself. 🤙😎
Sounds like a plan
NICE
i call it a win,win!!
I know you say that “you’re not good at this” but you are. Thanks for the vids
I agree with you on the old wrecker and keeping it original.
You got bigger ones than I do!.
Definitely need to replace that winch. I think that truck would be great for what you're thinking about doing. Glad to hear you want to keep the wrecker as is. I would love a F-150 4x4 around that year.
You're not fooling anyone with that line Casey. Lol. You're the best man.... Enjoyed the video again as usual.
You are not stuck as long as your recovery gear is working and you have an anchor to pull from.😉😉
While seeing a tow truck get stuck is amusing the difference is that you have the tools training knowledge to unstuck yourself. Excellent work as usual and keep ‘em rolling rubber side down shiny side up 🤘🏼😎
Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year
I always call myself a "Dumbass" in Red Foreman's voice.
He's gonna turn off his hazards and his headlights are gonna start working, lol I think it's a sprinter safety feature, like day time running lights
I agree with you the red Wrecker looks awesome the way it is.
LOVE it
Great rescue ❤️🤠
Keep up the great work. You have too much fun doing this.
I think it is funny, that at 0:52 Casey states that the paved road takes off to the right and the "dirt" road goes to the left. They both look the same tonight :) Another great video and recovery. Maybe I am not good at watching videos, but I enjoyed it.
Thanks for yet another great video, Casey! Always one of the highlights of my day! If you are not good at what you do, Casey, you leave the guys that ARE good at recovery work, a hell of a level to reach for!😉 Just messing with you. You are A+ with what you do! Your sence of alternative thinking and out-of-the-box solutions are amazing!! Keep up the good work!! Best regards from snowy Norway!! I wish you and your family and friends a beautiful Christmas and a phenomenal new year!!
Whenever the phrases, "I never said I was good at this." and "What's the worst that can happen?" are combined, have the video camera up and running! Great TH-cam videos are the result...and you are the Boss at it!! Love your channel!!!
Good recovery!! When I heard you say the snow was on top of ice I knew the chains would have been the way to go. Having lived in south east Nebraska for many years I've experienced just about every kind of weather there is. Except, of course, hurricanes. LOL!! I think you're right about not modifying the wrecker. Your Dodge will make a better rough terrain recovery vehicle. Have a great day and you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!
Another great recovery. Keep up the good work.
I love the people's reactions to you not charging them.
I'm not good at this is just showing that looking at the problem knowing what the conditions are, and using that knowledge to make the recovery look easier then it is, is what you shine at.
Great video
Mama always said stuck is as as stuck does. Love your channel ❤️
Great recovery. Thanks for the video
I don't miss that Cascade crud. Always ice under the snow makes it crazy. Good job on recovery.
all seasons tires in the snow with a rear wheel drive van? ya the old wet noddle was really working.
