explain why you create danger for yourself on your drives,by hanging a stick and phone outside of vehicle ,when you could have those mounted to your vehicle to show you how good a driver you are? aww those that are tick tok user challenges am guessing??
Seems to work well, he gets some great shots 👍 As the good American saying goes, KISS which I'm sure you know but for anyone else, Keep It Simple Stupid 👍 Possibly a mounted pole might catch a branch sometime, just a thought 🤔 I'm sure Casey knows what works best for himself. Anyway looks cool and all the best to you 👍
I've been a broadcast engineer for over 47 years myself now working part time(semi retired). Listeners have no idea what kind of conditions others like Wes and myself have gone through to get to the tower site in incredibly bad weather when the station goes off the air. You were fortunate to have good weather for this trip. The mystery box he swapped out is a audio processor. It takes the raw audio from the studio and converts it to a much better sound the listener can appreciate before sending it to the main transmitter. Glad you were able to take him up in the Jeep. Much better than snow cat, snow mobile or hiking in.
When I was in California, I worked for a wireless ISP. There were times that the boss went to one of the transmitter sites via helicopter, with the techs from the TV stations. You couldn't get there by ground, even with a snow cat.

I’m in my 50’s and learn new things all the time. One of the main things about your channel Casey is that you are a natural teacher/trainer and I always come away fulfilled with information that I may not otherwise ever learn about. Thank you.
Next monday I turn 70, and learning with every episode. It’s fun! And yes, you Casey are a great teacher. Lots of information, with the occasional more intense episodes, and many times: a good laugh.
Just love the action photos of the Jeep plowing through the snow that 360° camera is awesome. Intriguing, can't wait for the first radio tower vlog. "Waiting everyone to calm down" wow, can't wait for the story Casey. What a great vlog, I love the diversity of your vlogs Casey, both educational and entertaining thanks for sharing. 🙂👍
Cassie, I want to personally thank you for putting out these videos. It's not too often that you see someone as genuine and kind as you that truly likes to help people! And I just wanted to say thank you and may God bless you and your family!
Thanks for including some video if you setting and retrieving the cameras. I'm betting most people who watch videos like these have no clue how much extra work you go through just to film what you do.
The track Jeep sure made it easy for him to get up there and do what he needed to do. So glad you could help them out. And so beautiful with the snow. Great shots Casey!
different but still interesting .. one thing that always amuses me is how the Action camera software filters out the Selfie Stick .. but not the shadow or reflection in the snow
I love how eventhough this channel says heavy rescue, Casey is down to help anyone who needs help as long as he can do the job! Thanks for carrying us along with you!
Watching the track jeep go through deep powder is like watching a boat go through water. The way the tracks push the snow around is hypnotizing. Very cool.
Yes this was a lot of fun! A beautiful day , just slightly overcast sky's , fantastic scenery and a smooth ride in your track Jeep! Its fun to see the inside workings of a transmitter station. It reminds me of the Old Radar Base that we have here in North Eastern VT. It is beautiful up there with fantastic views of the surrounding area and even into Canada. Thanks for taking us along Casey , I look forward to your future videos , especially to see what went on with the tower rescue. 👍
Good Morning! This brought back some memories! I’ve been in his shoes, doing the same thing in Idaho. Most folks don’t know what it take to get to these communications sites in the winter, and you got to take the tracked Jeep to do it! Cheers!
Wow! Next time you all go up you should take a small sled so you don’t have to carry all those items. You can just slide them (and lift through the gate) ⛄️
Wow, what a beautiful place to go driving around in a tracked jeep ! I love to learn new things about this complex world we live in, thanks for sharing!!
As a ham radio operator, I love looking at tower sheds and shacks! Casey, Thank you for filming inside! Thank you Wes for keeping stations on the air! Love seeing the blending of 2 of my fav activities. ❤ 73 all!
That tracked Jeep is just so darn cool to watch. Especially at the top of the ridges in all that fresh snow. Just elevated the watching experience. Thank you!
Loved the clips at the end that show how much work actually goes into filming your videos. It can be taken for granted as it all looks seamless on screen.
What a rad project. Definitely different than your average day. The snow, the weather and seeing the track jeep get up to the tower site was so awesome.
Jobs like this certainly helps to pay for, and make the tracks more ideal to have beyond just rescue jobs. I hope that makes sense. Visually with your drone it made this video more exciting to watch. Seeing you float over the snow with snow sailing up around you is amazing. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy your life.
That tracked Cherokee continues to impress me with it's capabilities. Absolutely Perfect rig for that kind of mission. Very Well Done. It is Good Looking too!
Thanks for the change of pace Casey! I learned several new things that I did not know when I woke up this morning. Therefore, I will go to bed just tonight just a litter more knowledgeable than when I woke up !
Back in the 1980's as a cable technician we had a TV reception tower on top of a mountain, but didn't have tracks on jeeps, we flew in on helicopters and jumped out into waist deep snow to do maintenance, and climbed in for the trip down. It was fun and hard to consider it work, always wanted to ski out, down 9 miles of trails used by our 4x4 during summer.
Snowshoes Man, Snowshoes! I absolutely love snowshoeing into a winters camp on virgin powder. Maybe a good "extra tool" for days out in the track, you cannot always step onto crunchy snow. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Great job Wes. You have a very thankless job. Casey, that was fun riding along in all that snow and the drive back showed some beautiful scenery. Thanks
Thank you for the beautiful views. I'm not only an offroader since 1965, but also a skier/snowboarder since about 10 years later. One of the aspects of both that I so love is to go places "far from the madding crowd" and experience the beauty of nature. I've just done that while sitting in my home through the "magic" of this video.
Hello Casey from Finland. I always look Your vids. In Finland saturday 7.15 pm is now -3C Snow is 6 inches. All the best for You and Your Family wishes: Asko, Pimudog and Mickeycat.
Very cool mission. Half gates and cruising the ridgelines. I always like seeing TH-camrs camera setup/takedown. the behind-the-scenes we don't get to see that often. It is those extra steps and the editing we so rarely see and take the most time. I bet the road is rough in the summer. Tracked jeep to the rescue with the nice ride.
Good morning Casey; what a beautiful day in your neighborhood! It was great to see "little" Casey playing in the snow... lol I wish you, your family & friends a very happy Saint Valentine's day . ❤️ Remain comfortable and safe until next time. 🕊️
Good morning Casey that up there was our favorite place to go snow Wheeling until they shut it all down for the snowmobile‘s in the winter i’m jealous you get to go up there keep doing what you doing love the videos man
Wes, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for allowing Casey to recover the radio station. Your support was instrumental in making it a success, and I cannot thank you enough! To show my appreciation, I've come up with a funny way of saying thank you! "Radio waves may be invisible, but the tracks on Casey's FJ are as clear as a bell! Thank you, Wes, for letting Casey tune in to success!" Thanks a million! Without you, we'd still be stuck listening to elevator music all day long. You're the hero we needed!
What a beautiful video with the Jeep. That lollipop camera amazes me every time. That was some deep powder you were cruising across and holding the lollipop camera.
Hi Cassey, the link between the studio and the transmitter on the mountain top is known as an STL or Studio Transmitter Link. In this case I suspect they were moving basic audio to the transmitter site. The processor they changed converts that basic audio to an FM format, regulates the levels so the transmitter isn't over driven and is then fed to the exciter, maybe external or internal, which determines the frequency to be radiated by the main transmitter which is, as you stated, basically a big amplifier producing probably 10,000 watts output. Through antenna gain of a factor of 10 you get an Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 100,000 watts to the public at large. This is the station's licenced output power. That large box you carried in contained one power tube costing a few thousand dollars and relatively fragile. Your customer was doing the job I'd done for better part of 50 years though I never needed a track Jeep to get to my sites. 4wd certainly to some. Most had good access. Regards from Canada's banana belt. 🤞❄️🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇲👍
Especially enjoyed this video. We have a site, 4,000 ft up on a ridge, a smaller operation. Our tower is 150 ft. You're sure right about the noise and heat inside the building.
Mike Rowe would be proud this is how America works with out that's fellow nobody gets a radio signal great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
Variety is the spice of life, I appreciate you throwing in some different reasons to take out the Trac-Jeep. BTW your office has some grand views :) Thanks for sharing.
You're a stand-up guy. Your videos are a breath of fresh air knowing the people you help don't have to empty their pockets for you to help them. You rock brother 🤘
Feels like a "Dirty Jobs" episode lol Love it man. I'm from Massachusetts but been living in South Carolina since 1995, I miss the snow sometimes and watching your vods satisfy that need to a point. Keep up the great work as usual!
Everything about this video was awesome! Learned a lot from you Casey about the mission. As always, it's not always the destination, but the journey there. Fantastic scenery and I love that tracked Jeep! Well done.
explain why you create danger for yourself on your drives,by hanging a stick and phone outside of vehicle ,when you could have those mounted to your vehicle to show you how good a driver you are? aww those that are tick tok user challenges am guessing??
That would be boring. The 360 Camera is fantastic! Casey is not creating any danger to himself or others.
Seems to work well, he gets some great shots 👍
As the good American saying goes, KISS which I'm sure you know but for anyone else,
Keep It Simple Stupid 👍
Possibly a mounted pole might catch a branch sometime, just a thought 🤔
I'm sure Casey knows what works best for himself.
Anyway looks cool and all the best to you 👍
Maybe it's a bit more versatile on a movable stick compared to a fixed mount on the car?
Because I’m not insanely average…
@@CaseyLaDelle Well, to me it seems that you are indeed not very good in being average, but I admit that you never said that... 😇
Grumpy's younger brother!
LOVE the virgin snow footage!!!
Thank you and Wes for sharing. Very enjoyable watching,.
Love your "office". Please keep showing wilderness shots on your trips.

WELL said @ Cisco's Custom cycles
@@Husky1run huh?
It's always a nice feeling when the Jeep fires right up after a long day in the Cascades. Knock on wood, my 93 Cherokee has never let me down.
Just love the action photos of the Jeep plowing through the snow that 360° camera is awesome.
Intriguing, can't wait for the first radio tower vlog.
"Waiting everyone to calm down" wow, can't wait for the story Casey.
What a great vlog, I love the diversity of your vlogs Casey, both educational and entertaining thanks for sharing. 🙂👍
Yup I’m thinking rear hitch mount on an extra long pole for a chase view. It would be like playing a video game.
Cassie, I want to personally thank you for putting out these videos. It's not too often that you see someone as genuine and kind as you that truly likes to help people! And I just wanted to say thank you and may God bless you and your family!
10:30 Giving a whole new meaning to "Speak softly and carry a big stick"
Thanks for including some video if you setting and retrieving the cameras. I'm betting most people who watch videos like these have no clue how much extra work you go through just to film what you do.
I’d love to see him do a short video of how his drone on a stick (Insta360 X3) works.
The track Jeep sure made it easy for him to get up there and do what he needed to do. So glad you could help them out. And so beautiful with the snow. Great shots Casey!

Love the Red TrackJEEP 😍 .
SO glad you still kept it 👏 .
Better 4x4'ing fun : _NO_ _MUD_ &
the Snow washes the JEEP 😁 !
Ha ha ha awesome! I do the same here in the north but I plow to the tower for the radio station! Thanks for sharing buddy!
Nice change of pace, Casey. You helped rescue the community TV and Radio stations and viewers. That Track Jeep is a beast.
Very fun. Can't wait to see/hear the story on the other one you talked about.
Watching the track jeep go through deep powder is like watching a boat go through water. The way the tracks push the snow around is hypnotizing.
Very cool.

Fire watch tower or radio tower. Casey does it all!!!!
That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing
I love your office. Have a good day. God bless you and your family all the time.
Thank you Casey.I ran a hydro electric power station for 9 years so that is my kind of place.😊
Good Morning! This brought back some memories! I’ve been in his shoes, doing the same thing in Idaho. Most folks don’t know what it take to get to these communications sites in the winter, and you got to take the tracked Jeep to do it! Cheers!
Very nice way to help out. When you got the right set up on a jeep that will go through deep snow. Pretty on top of that mountain.
Wow! Next time you all go up you should take a small sled so you don’t have to carry all those items. You can just slide them (and lift through the gate) ⛄️
Gorgeous Scenery. Loved the “adventure.” 🙏❤️
Wow, what a beautiful place to go driving around in a tracked jeep !
I love to learn new things about this complex world we live in, thanks for sharing!!
HEY! Good morning Casey!
Morning!
Lot of work to bring us youtube family along. Thank you Casey. I love watching your channel
I like any video with the tracked Jeep and going through new snow like that was a great adventure.

Love the new 360 camera!
That was a fun little ride thanks for sharing Casey 👍👍
I love these types of Star Trek videos thrown into your normal videos. Keep up the good work Casey.
That was a very important recovery to keep all the listeners happy!
That tracked Jeep is just so darn cool to watch. Especially at the top of the ridges in all that fresh snow. Just elevated the watching experience. Thank you!

Well Done, I like learning too. The fresh snow conditions and being first on new snow is never dull..

Very cool info about how that all works! And the views from up there!!!😲
Wow! Casey that Jeep with the tracks is very capable in the snow, it makes it look so easy, that’s until one steps out of it! Lol 😂 great video

So what I'm hearing here is that Wes and yourself rescued the area from a possible media blackout! Job well done !
Casey that was cool and a Awesome view
Thank You for that fine example of what it takes to maintaine the communication system that we all depend on.
Good morning Casey that up there was our favorite place to go snow Wheeling until they shut it all down for the snowmobile‘s in the winter i’m jealous you get to go up there keep doing what you doing love the videos man
Fun to watch the tracked jeep again. Miss my 97 grand Cherokee
Good stuff Casey, reminds me of my years as a broadcast engineer having to snowmobile, hike or chopper into remote transmitter sites. Cheers

What a beautiful video with the Jeep. That lollipop camera amazes me every time. That was some deep powder you were cruising across and holding the lollipop camera.
that outro of placing / picking up the stationary cameras was pretty fun

Always check in to see what crazy projects Casey has going on. --- Every day is a new adventure. ---
Thanks for the fun upload.

And thank you for the content!
Looked like a nice drive up and back. Glad I don't have to shovel the walk at the station!! 😁
That was awesome. Thanks for taking us along.
glad you got a stress free ride out on virgin snow, looked like it was as you say, Fun.
thats a wonderful part of the country you get to work in Casey.thanks for entertaining us.
