Snow Too Deep for Snowmobile!- Ep30- Outsider Log Cabin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- While travelling near the log cabin build site, my tractor broke down and became stranded in the deep snow. I tried to reach it later on by snowmobile, but the snow was too deep for my sled to move in. I ended up snowshoeing back to the tractor where I repaired it. I also wanted to see if there was a way that I could drive it back home without further burying it in snow. During this episode, my dad and I also construct a cinder block rocket stove.

So glad that you were able to get your tractor home through the snow .
Excellent video
Ep30 Snow Too Deep for Snowmobile (Cinder block Stone rocket fire - improvised stove.) incredible snow shoe hike to recover stalled tractor. True fortitude to get it done. Great work.
YOU HAVE GOT SOME SERIOUS BALL'S FOR LIFE YOUNG MAN, BRILLIANT, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE MICK FROM UK
Never underestimate old tractors. They were made to be beat and worked. They will never let you down
View is beautiful father and son are doing a great job
Being able to learn from our mistakes is the best we can do. You are wise.
I've been watching you for some time and I think it's awesome how you and your father always work together. That's very special...
That old gal still has power.i always wanted one,for all the work I want to do around my cabin.
Skiing is a lot easier than walking with snow shoes. At least I think so. Love form Norway
On running the tractor in the snow, get a set of tire chains in it. We logged all winter with a W-9. With chains it will go through a lot deeper snow than you have there.
Good day. When we were on farm we W-6 with heavy duty chains on, went almost thur everything Thanks
I plow with my w-4
i plow with my 135
I love ice and snow... It was amazing to watch
I am convinced tractors are the greatest thing for anyone who lives in the country
I was holding my breath the first time through the mud hole and then you go a second time, amazing! Love that tractor. Thanks
Kate Oliver agree
I'm impressed. You set up camera angles even while trudging through the snow. That's dedication!
AMEN !!! You got your Tractor out, glad it can be safely stored for the winter. I wanted so much to grab my shovel from my tool shed and help you dig out your tractor and snow mobile... U got stuck alot! My God thats alot of snow. You def work really hard and have alot of determination. I would have totally gotten fustrated. You kept your cool. Take care from your fellow Outsider 💪 Good video.
after it was out, it was looking lick fun to drive
You remind me so much of Macklemore. "What what what what"
Great old tractor
you wouldn't believe what a difference a set of chains would make. We used them in the mountains of northern NM in the snow for skidding logs out in the winter.
Neat old Tractor, Amazing what they can do!!
13:05 R.I.P little camera, you will be missed.
lol If my GoPro camera ever gained sentience, it would surely hate me for everything I've put it through. Still works though!
I was hoping to see the footage from that gopro.
Also the grin on your face when you ran it over😅
@@fishiganstate3880 Yup, that grin was pretty funny. The go pro did not stand a chance against Goliath! But just like David, it survived using tricks (soft snow) for survival.
The tractor in the snow when it first broke down would make a great calendar picture!! Beautiful scene. Thanks for filming this for us. It must have been tough. I liked seeing the propane tank! That tractor is some tough and so are you!!
Wow that's an adventure kudo's young man!
When a snowmobile gets stuck on level terrain you've got a lotta snow! Good luck brother!
lol Thanks Silas!
Glad you got Wilbur home
HOLY MOLY!!!! I'm glad you have a healthy heart and are fit! Man all that work plus recording all of it. OMG so much work!! You'll have to get a snow blower for the front of your tractor. Thanks so much for sharing and all the hard work.
Awesome Tractor . .... love it 👍
That ole McCormick runs pretty good! 👍👍
Thank you guys or girls from France . And thanks again for the POUTINE , Love them Curd Clumps two.
Old time woodsmen used to corduroy the roads through swampy and muddy areas by laying down 5 & 6 inch logs side by side across the wet areas. Of course this was done before the kinds of woods machinery we use today were available. When I was a kid I have seen corduroy roads built over a distance of a half mile long. And hundreds of cords of pulp wood were hauled over them in both summer and winter on sleds pulled by teams of horses.
Those were the days. If you haven't seen teams of horses pulling big sled loads of logs out of the woods and heard those harness bells ringing and the teamsters talking encouragement to their horses you haven't really lived.
Sitting in the tropics it is an escape to follow the challenges of the snow.
That was fun to watch.
Awesome and arduous journey my friend so many thanks for your video. It was well composed. Glad you made it back home safely.
Good for you, happy you did it
Your voice is outstanding for storytelling, vlogging and narration. Love your channel and thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Great work and determination Brother! Especially through that slough of despond. Can't believe you had the energy to film as much as you did. To be young again!
Thanks Canesser! I like your nickname for the mud-hole. I might have to use that. Pilgrims Progress, am I right?
Indeed, and after watching you get out of it the last time it came right to mind. You battle through the lessons of life like a champ Brother!
You need a good set of tires chains that will help you out 100x 👍
Agree 100%. When I was growing up, the chains came out for the Farmall ever winter. No problems.
I second that.Chains make a world of difference.
+4
I
Agreed!
That kind of trudging through the snow and puling the weight on snowshoes will definitely let you have a sound sleep in the evenings!
those old sleds have such small lugs in the track...1/4 or 1/2 inch, I believe...now they are like paddles... 2 inch or more.... brings back a lot of memories of "sleding"...lol
One of the best snow video's I ever seen
Wow! What a work horse tractor! Such determination, glad you succeeded. Thanks for sharing!
I think the tractor did a great job without 4 wheel drive.
That tractor is a boss! 6N?
It has 2 wheel drive but you can't turn with it
Hello outsiders I love your channel keep up the great work
Wow. the Beast Tractor. Respekt Brother. Many Greetings from Germany :-)
That tractor is a life saver! It should be noted that the "average joe" on any given tractor can't so this. YOu have become one with your machine and you know what it can and can't do. Joe Average should watch this and think he can push his 50+ year old tractor beyond it's limits and be successful all the time.
You need a nice extended track mountain sled with the 3" paddle track living out there with all of that snow.
Nice job getting it out of there.
I have a massey 65 have tire chains and having them you'll sail through even that mud hole I love those era massey's also have a massey 135. I love your video thank for making them
Watching your videosis a good pass time . I live off grid ,love old tractors.As a carpenter I'm very impressed with the cabin build!!!! I wish I would have done logs instead on mine . You da man!!!
Oh man God has surely blessed you sir with some deep seeded patience with life the rest of us could surely use xo
Those things live easy to fix and go threw snow really good
Good job! Looks like slept well that night!!! I bet you missed your Dad on the return trip! Thanks for sharing!
Great case of never giving up!! Way to go!!
that snowshoeing looked really hard man
That tractor is a beast
hard work pays off....your a strong young man and you make a great video....and a great voice......
Man !, what an adventure, I was rooting for ya to get through all the way !, glad it turned out alright. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see how the tractor would do with tire chains! Thanks for the entertainment!!
Crazy as hell but great job getting her home.
That punches to the gas are mortal to the traction
I started liking tractors when I subscribed to your channel.
Also can you put a winch on the tractor? or is that too much?
Looks like a great adventure sometimes being physically wore out can be very satisfying , if the task at hand was accomplished, which seems the case. Thanks Love the content.
With all that digging there is no gym required for a workout anymore ;-) Keep the good work coming. Cheers
Those were my thoughts exactly. lol
Amazing determination! Great job, and sorry about all that trouble. Sometimes things don't always go as planned. See you on the next one buddy!
Wish we had the same problem... January thaw came over a week ago in Ontario Canada and we are still eagerly awaiting winter to return to shoot some more snowmobile edits!
If you are an auction lover, go to an auction of snowmobiles. There is an old timing snow mobile called a husky. It has tracks in front, you sit on a trailer and drive it. Its not fast or good looking, but rarely gets stuck.
You sir need a wide track 8-900 sled with proper suspension. Snow like that is nothing for the newer, lighter, and more powerful machines. Great video by the way:)
i was wondering about that. any time i see videos or shows with secluded snowy places like this, someone gets their snow mobile stuck and low and behold it's some sort of 80's model. I do NOT doubt t hat these places get more extreme weather but, i've seen modified newer snowmobiles run down lakes and rivers no problems for hours on end on youtube. i might also bet the those newer machines cost 5 figures.
cdoublejj you can buy a capable mountain snowmobile used for around 4-5 thousand dollars but a utility snowmobile like a skidoo tundra would work best in his application
I have a 2007 Polaris RMK 700 with a 155 track and it would breeze through that
We'd use the old Elans when I worked in Algonquin Park. Small, light and they went anywhere. Nice job!
What I wouldn't give to be running an Elan. Those machines are, pound for pound, the best sleds ever made. In my opinion at least.
That is some serious snow. I do like the rocket stove.
Here’s a tip man, if your snowmobile gets stuck don’t shovel out in front of it. Instead sit in front of it, grab the front bumper with your hands, and kick/ shove as much snow as you can under it with your feet. Doing this will feed the sled snow for traction.
Never pull from the bumper pull from the spindle that’s what they teach in the class to get a snowmobile license. Also I’m very fine powder like this that method wouldn’t have worked very well
@@calebm.5698 what, is your bumper for cosmetic reasons? If its too weak to pull from you should be buying a different sled, and as mentioned in the previous comment he's saying to push snow under the track to compact it and give the sled something to work with. Fine powder or not its going to compact and be bulkier once you force it under there and all the movement up front is going to open up the path in front of it as well. You might need to pull from the spindle for your license but if you ever go anywhere other than a trail you can pretty much throw it out the window if thats what they are teaching you. Not that it matters, the sled was woefully inadequate for that kind of snow anyways. A locking differential or chains for the tractor would probably be a good idea...
Looks like fun. Especially the shoveling.
Some times the individual snowfalls are shallow enough to drive through and then if you keep repeating after each snowfall the snow gets packed down and turns to ice. And it's like driving on cement.
Even if you the pack the trail the tires will take by walking on them that will be sometimes be a big help. Especially in the soft/muddy section. If you pack it down it should freeze solid if you don't let snow build up on it. And like someone else mentioned throwing down small logs etc.
In this part of the world, much of the logging that is/was done was done during the winter when the swamps are froze over. But you have to deal with those soft spots by somehow exposing them to the cold and letting them freeze over.
Sometimes you just have to let it go. But try you must. There's nothing like a tractor ride through a swamp when the cedar boughs are heavy with snow and the woods if full of hare tracks.
That tractor is a good old girl, i cried watching her get through.
When the snow is that dry I'd be taking the day off to go skiing. Nice video.
Dang good old tractor!
Watching you with the snowmobile the thought drifted through that technology does not always win against the elements. The important thing is to recognize when that is the truth. Poor camera, great tractor. Brian 77
Good honest work
Little trick for those types of tread get a long bristle brush and mount to your fenders to clear snow and mud from the tread before it reaches Back to ground a lot more traction to the wheels I find on mine it immediately improves sliding on the back end
4x4 just thinking out loud ✌️
Keep in mind. A wire from the batt. To the pos on the coil and then arc the starter. This will hot wire most old systems
Iam impressed how much snow your tractor goes through with no chains, gives more confidence in mine with four wheel drive an chains
You bet!
Your property is just like mine. Just to get there can be a struggle. The advantage is that you never get any unwanted visitors. A couple of chains on the tires would help a lot.
Solution to mud hole in spring. Dump all your saw dust and extra bark in that one spot so that the mud is held together and your tractors doesn’t sink
Thanks for the video.
Great vid. Tractor is a beast.
Hilltown I
Hilltown agree
The rocket stove I built works well, similar to the way you did it, but I built it on the ground with some bricks in front so wood can be fed into it. Having 4 to 5 blocks high of chimney helps get the rocket effect going with the additional draft. If you make your chimney taller, it will work better.
Holy shit it's nice to know what you can do with blocks.
But then again! You are an inspiration!!
A fairly not well known trick in North America at least for two wheel drive tractors and mud, is to cable or chain a pole log to the outside of the rear wheels that is long enough to act as a paddle. Slow run the wheels to dig/lift your way out untill clear of the mud then of course remove the logs.
It's pretty common to see that done in Russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, China and a host of other countries where mud and tractors are a common thing.
Dang snow! We had a bit o snow out here in NY, but in a unique three days; after being piled about 9inches high, it was swept away by some rain and a nice couple of degrees. Good thing you were able to dig it out.
You should build a corduroy road at the mud hole.
Man, you must really want those poplars!
the other thing that is hurting u is the land never froze up!!!!!!!
Back in the day they used to fashion ski's that would lash on or mount to the front wheels of the tractor so it would tend to help lift the front end aiding in steering.
I can hardly believe my eyes how much snow that old 2 wheel drive tractor can wade!! My 57 Massey would be stuck in 5 feet.
Pretty impressive especially for no chains. Don’t forget you can always crank the flywheel via pto or actual crank if you could find some sort of tool to crank it. Or buy an old hand crank n keep it with tractor.
They actually used to make a ski for tractors. You might check into it? Or get a bettee snow machine with better longer trac that will float you up ontop of the snow. That Jag you've got is just too short a trac. Also can get a plastic powder set of skis will help too. I live in Alaska and have had snow machines for many years.
With all those logs you are collecting I'm guessing this cabin will be huge.
In the spring try building a log bridge over the mudhole, or cut a path around it.
My plan is to install a corduroy road through the mud-hole in the spring. Unfortunately, there's no use in cutting a road around it, because we'd just end up making another mud-hole if we did. The water runs close to the surface under the soil in many places where I am.
The Outsider When you build that I would love to see the highlights of the process in a video. Especially if the bandsaw mill is used for some of it.
Mark Conger Will do!
Mark Conger agree
I don’t know a lot about snow machines but I damn sure knew that one wouldn’t make it. Need to pack it down with a mountain sled then with that little 3/4” lug trail sled. This is my first vid so I have no clue what you have available to you, but still knew that snow machine wouldn’t do it
That tractor is a beast! Lol great video . Good job! 😎
