    Hopefully you learned your lesson on what tires you should have in winter months in Colorado. Also a winch is never a bad idea for what you guys are doing out in the woods. This could have been a lot worse learn from it and be more prepared. Looking forward to more adventures.

      Firestone tires are absolute junk. Even with these junk tires. Airing down would have helped. No shovel? Who doesn't carry a shovel camping? Colorado Mtn's are no joke.

    Good thing it wasn’t a real blizzard or you may have had an entirely different experience.
    We have about your same setup with a ford f350 and an older lace. We added a low watt roof heater/air conditioner that we can run on a small generator because we got caught in a blizzard in Montana and couldn’t move for a week, the propane and wet heat and below zero temps wasn’t ideal. One gallon of fuel heats our camper for 15 hours of nice dry heat, no frozen windows. Love our Lance. We also have chains for the truck now. That blizzard taught us some valuable lessons in winter camper camping. We ended up digging out with a medal plate and a serving spoon, one of our sons “used the shovel” and didn’t put it back. It was an adventure of slip and sliding with nerve wracking stress! Lol

    I’ve had Lance campers, travel trailers and been in the snow, mud and cold, had dead batteries, run outta propane etc…. Buy 4 V-Bar chains, 30’ 30k tow strap, a Little buddy propane heater and save your camper batteries and propane. Buy a quick jump starter and carry a 3000w generator, gas and a pancake air compressor. You have to be totally self sufficient and can’t rely on anyone but yourselves. And carry bear spray when you are in bear country, especially when you go for a walk. Looks like you had a nice adventure. Enjoy it!

    CONGRATULATIONS...you survived AND learned alot about cold weather / snow camping!! And, perhaps without realizing it, you learned alot about each other. You both seem to get along and I sense that continues "OFF CAMERA" as well! We camped in the same size Lance you have for many years and as we watched your video, we discussed what would would have done differently regarding staying warm!! Using your furnance will definately keep your rig warm, but based upon our experiences, and perhaps yours, it REALLY uses up your LP.. Here's a couple hints to consider re: getting more from your LP supply: 1. leave the oven pilot lite on, with the door open 2. find a clay pot, the size commonly used for house plants, and place it ocer one of your cooktop burners and lite the burner. IT will get very, VERY hot but it will radiate heat for many hours as it cools down. OBVIOUSLY, this can be a dangerous heat source and should be used with care nad only will you are awake. 3. in the morning, use the heat from preparing your tea, food, etc. to heat the inside. Consider getting a roll of "reflective insulation" (Home Depot) cut it to fit all windows and then pull your shades down. That will not only keep some cold out, but in the summertime, it'll keep the inside of you rig much cooler on very hot days.
    That's it for now....Keep Exploring and Having Fun!!

I was afraid you guys would be stranded for days and your heat would run out. I don't think - no I KNOW that I would not have found my way out of the campground until Spring because everything looked the same. Snow and trees everywhere. Well, I have a feeling from this point forward you will be more prepared but this wasn't you guys' fault. It was just a freak heavy snowstorm. It was exciting to watch though and that's why I said best video yet.

    Great job and video! Can you guys buy another propane tank and have it filled up as a spare? You could just set it inside your camper while you are traveling. Amazon sells a plastic base that the tank can temporarily sit in so it doesn't fall over when traveling. I use mine when I detach my propane tanks from the trailer and drive to the fill up place. Just a thought for emergencies...and maybe a few dehydrated backpacking meals for backup too. 😉 Keep up the awesome videos!!

    Just found your channel and really enjoyed your video! Glad you guys made it out of their, my wife and I have been stuck in some pretty crazy snow before too so I understand the feeling! Looks like there are a bunch of suggestions already in the comments, but adding in my 2 cents for what its worth (hope it is helpful!).
    I would recommend always having redundancy for all of the major life supporting systems when camping in the cold (even if no snow is forecast) - i.e., more propane than you think you need for heat and cooking, extra food, extra warm layers, etc. I'm sure you are already planning to, but you should add some recovery gear to your kit like maxtrax, chains, a tow and snatch strap, and a few soft shackles. These can come in handy in any recovery situation, not just snow (think mud, sand, loose dirt). I would also recommend getting some good AT tires that are 3 peak mountain snowflake rated and have a fairly aggressive tread. (I like falken wildpeak at3w for full size trucks instead of KO2's, they last a bit longer.) You sacrifice wear speed for more traction, but if you are living in your camper, traction would win it for me every day to make sure I can always have traction getting in and out of campsites no matter what state I am in.
    Although it does little for ice, airing down your tires is always more helpful than not when traction is an issue. you can go down to 12-15 PSI and still be safe off road and increase your traction coefficient substantially, even in snow (ice is another story, but airing down can't hurt). Adding some sort of air pump to your kit to fill your tires back up would also be good incase you opted to air down because you wouldn't want to drive very fast on a main road with your tires so low.
    Hope you find some part of that helpful! Good luck to you on your future travels!
    Edit: I almost forgot! Keep a snow and dirt shovel on hand! I can't tell you the amount of times I have been stuck without a shovel when I desperately needed one! They make cheap compact snow and dirt shovels that can easily be stored under the truck seat or mounted on the exterior.

    I used to keep a portable compressor with me so I could air down the tires so it would bite more. Glad you made it out

      Didn’t think to air the tires down, I’ll keep it in mind for next time!

    While tire chains can be a real pita to put on, they do work. Hang the chains over the tires, connect the back (inside) links drive forward or back a half turn hook outside links. Then drive ahead a little and tighten them up inside and outside.

    Wow guys I’m so happy you guys worked together to get out of their i live in Colorado and what you experience could turn your adventure into a nightmare I think people sometimes believe a truck with big tires should get out of every situation but as you can see it’s not necessarily true it’s definitely a learning experience and it brings confidence in what I need to prepare for even when the weather calls for something different learning is growing and growing is maturity praying for wisdom and confidence in your next adventure God bless and take care❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Looks like might be time for a tire upgrade. I know it's a trade off on mileage but maybe something to think about. Beautiful though!❤ A good attitude keeps it enjoyable for sure 👍 Thamks for taking us with you on your wintery adventure! ❤ 😂

      @@LivingLargeCamping While you are at it you might also want to buy a set of snow chains, unless you are heading south to warmer climates.

      ​@LivingLargeCamping a set of tire chains are cheaper than new tires. I wouldn't leave home without em in the winter.

    Do you guys have towing companies? We have them here in Canada, a must if we get stuck. Also everyone has tow bars and chains. We all help each other out of snow. Glad you made it out, good luck!

    Stories are only good when you around to tell the story .Winter is a real killer you have learned the hard way always be better prepared in winter there have been real horror stories being stuck on a good hwy just snowed in on the way to pick her kids up from day nursery they found her about 6 days later wrap in a blanket frozen solid never take for granted any travel in winter . Happy Trails you 2 stay safe.

    Next time you are faced with trying to move through a foot of snow, consider doing what’s done when people take 4WD vehicles on the sandy beaches: substantially lower the tire air pressure to get a better traction. Once back on dry pavement, you do need to re-inflate the tires, hopefully you do carry a compressor. If not, just drive very slowly until you reach a service station. Good video!
