Wow so cool. I was like them when I was their age. We took a (sand) dune buggy, put a small block, made it 4-wheel drive. Then took it to the park and went thru 24-inch snow which was the best we could do. Ah the 70's, now I'm 66 and don't get out much. Man, I miss those days.
Im oldish too, more 80's but I don't recall traffic jams. Love doing what they're doing and still have a tracked offroad vehicle with a set of Camso tracks but I ride with a buddy or two at the most. Any more than that, and you end up rescuing people all day or waiting your turn. I'm too old, cranky, impatient and do this to get away from people, not wait in line behind them. Merry Christmas. 🎅
Having the snow Groomer & Sherp with is a smart plan! Looks like you all take your time and make it a fun experience for all. That’s the way to do it, like we did when we were kids in the late 1970,s & early 1980,s with our dad in our 1947 Willis & 1976 Bronco at Dresser Wisconsin. Great times with good responsible people who know what to do. Looks like some need bigger tires, our dad liked em tall so they cut down to the hard ground better. We seen a 1970-72 GMC K-30 years back with 60+” tractor tires on it with a hi winding/roaring well sorted SBC going through our ditches that were as deep as you got here with big drifts also. It busted em like nothing. It was So fun to watch them going through that much snow so effortlessly!. All of the rigs you all have built here are awesome. I have several favorites! Great Video, Thanks!!
❤❤The young guys with the "keep it simple landcruizer" are on a winner ,,i mean you keep it super simple ,,keep it as light as possible with a good engine with power enough to have plenty of fun but not ridiculous break everything power ,,the green landcruizer is the winner for me as its something easy fixed when ya out in the cold you don't want complicated wiz bang high tech cause all you end up is broken down spoiling for everyone who wants to keep on moving on hey !
YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OSTACRUISER????EPIC IS THE WORD FOR THAT MAN!!!YOU HAVE A GREAT GUY ON YOUR BACK IN OSTACRUISER THE GUY IS A LEGAND AROUND THE INTERNET AND BEYOND.....TOTALLY BAD ASS....
For what some of them 1/10 scale remote toy trucks cost you could find an old Suzuki samari add another transfer case put Toyota axles and 44” tires or something light with solid axles 80-83 Toyota keep it simple gearing down by using two transfer cases the Suzuki are not married they have flanges on input and output. Big expensive high horsepower engines Break things. Low hp. Low gears . Low tire psi. Wide tires
@@DirtydiggerSamurai's can be done up so nice...20 years ago my buddy had one of the nicest ones I've ever seen. He traded it for a mid 90s POS bronco with huge lift,cracked frame and bald 38"s...to this day it's a sore subject.
Tell you guys what.....as being a former snow maniac down here in the South , you guys up North build some incredible snow rigs! Lots of HP and some big tires in 4' of powder is impressive! Love it!
The most of them don't have a clue what it takes to get through snow like that. Shit I have a motorhome that will out do most of you guys excluding the Sherpa. I'm going to watch something else instead of a bunch of loud exhaust pipes and passing it off for 800hp. Some great rock crawlers for sure. But snow requires experience and common sense.
You think I'm a airhead. That's cool. Try running tires half the width with a set of V bar chains plus a ton or two and see what happens. If you don't notice a huge difference I'll pay for the chains. At least your old enough to grow whiskers. Lol. Hahaha.
Lol these guys are actually world 🌎 famous. anyways the snow that day was shit, it was corn snow that tuned slushy near evening, not ideal for driving in or on.
We go wheeling in the woods when it snows here in Northern NY too. I modified a few old snowmobile tracks with 1/4-20 bolts through them for traction pads if I get really stuck. They've saved the day quite a few times and they roll up with a bungee around them, I just strap them to the roof of my woods beater. Works in slimy mud during the other seasons. Somebody always has a powr-pull, snatch block and some 5/8 Spectra rope too, never had to leave a vehicle behind in 15 years.
@ it is pretty awesome, but I think what y’all do is cooler…maybe just because I don’t ever see anything like it…either way thanks for the posts and keep em comin!
17:59 if you had a tow bar on the front of this rig, and a hitch on the lead rig, you can push a lot of snow. We used to do this with four wheelers, up to four in tandem. Of course when you do get stuck stuck, it’s a real bitch getting out. We didn’t have 800hp or a Sherp.
@@Ibex- I was told about it from a member of a local jeep club from the 70s here on Eastern Oregon. Of course they weren’t running anything like you guys for tires or horsepower. And I doubt you could buy a tire taller than 32”. And if someone broke, you could tow them off the mountain.
@ Fraser valley, Abby. I’m building a truggy and it’s not going to be a snow wheeling rig, as much as I’d love to!!! Just Not equipped when I have stickies lol
Great video and awesome rigs. I wheeled all that area back in the 80’s. Of coarse a little more remote then. But my question is ? When you have roads why are you out running over new growth trees? I’m not a tree hugger by any means. But “Leave it better than you found it.” Is that not part of the Kelowna snow wheelers motto. It’s the bigger picture.......Reasons they close down more areas every year.
I was thinking about that watching my video and you can see them making every effort to go around the little trees and trying to not make too may excursion’s, the area around the City i live in has 100s of gated roads and protected or sacred land. It wants to make me move.
I'm a drag racer and a 4x4 nut but my Harley is the best and this looks like a blast but with only 1 drawback and that is you don't seem to go very far lol which seems like a bit of waste with all them awesome machines. Its like the lead guy leaves and you wait an hour then you can walk 50ft and hand that guy a beer lol. Oh well each to their own its an acquired taste. Have fun guys because as long as your machine is running then there is no problem. CHEERS
Thats where having a large group that you’re trying to keep together can become a bit of a pain. The other thing was the quality of the snow, made travel tough so we tried a couple roads that were not doable and had to backtrack.
I have live in snow country and I have learned that a tall skinny tire is best in the snow. Why do you run wide tires in the snow? I love the video please don't be offended it is a legit question.
The wheels itself looks good for this job. The problem is on the middle part - between the front wheels, where truck sits on the snow with its bottom. A first idea: You can try to install the cone on the front of the first truck - to move the snow away to the sides. So it will work like an icebreaker. A second idea: The bottom (frame) of the truck must be much higher from the ground.
I love seeing rigs that are built not bought 😎 well except for the sherp but it's still cool too. I used to wheel a 89 Ford Ranger on 35s, had to build everything for it as no one sold or made much aftermarket parts for those trucks. I'd drive it 100 miles to the trails and if i broke something I had to fix it to get home 😂😎
Growing up, and living in New England, I am no stranger to playing in the snow. But this? This takes a special kind of person to do. Its friggen freezing cold, you constantly get stuck, when something breaks, its a nightmare to fix in that environment. There is no harder wheeling then in the snow.
I am surprised that the tires are so wide! We have skidders that go thru the forest in the winter thru 4 feet of snow to haul cut trees out for lumber and the tires are at most about 8 inches wide and they never get stuck. They go where there are no roads and the snow can be chest high. They haul about 8 or 10 trees out going up hill to boot. I would bet if the tires were a lot narrower they would have no problems!!!
I don't know why some people seem to believe that narrow tires are effective in deep snow and ice. It's just not the case, wider+taller tires with a greater surface area contact patch are better. They help you float above the snow rather than sink into it and high center.
It really all depends on the vehicle. Light vehicle's yes you are right. Heavy skidder u want to dig to the hard pan it has the weight as not to high center in snow. @storm5013
You gotta build a v shaped front bmper, skid plate that will lift these rigs up and push packed snow out to the wheels at the same time. I bet they would cruise through bottomless pow.
Wow that’s a lot of snow. Can we get some in Québec please 😂 Beeing a skier I can’t stop thinking about it. So I guess you guys need to wait often to cool off them transmissions

That Land Cruiser is Super Sweet, love hows its Stubby, i love the color and Especially the BONG !!
i saw that had to go back in the vid and check it out again, nice holder he built for it hahah
I was wondering if i was seeing things.
Right on!
@@daves3016 I'm sure you see my Land Cruiser and you'll change your mind.
Love how the Sherp is all slow and steady - "What's all the commotion?" once he catches up and then just keeps on going
That bong customization holder is epic! 😂😅
I seen that too! wonder how it doesn't break.
@@avalanche153019mm is pretty thick glass, most bongs are 5mm ~ at best

thanks for the comment, these guys leave there egos at home and just have fun, the corn snow was horrible but we made the best of it.
@@Ibex- I never heard of Corn Snow before. Are there bits of Corn in it?
So jealous of trips like this. Those are some massive rigs. The man version of playing in the snow.
I am very lucky to get to do this.
Газ в пол по снегу и закопаться, это очень интересная тактика!))) А шерп спокойно ползёт вперёд!)
I think they like the noise ;)
That looks like so much fun t y
Bong holder badass I love it
I had never see this before ;)
Dark blue Old school Bronco is bad ass and the black and yellow buggy with the sherp looking tires is a beast!
Love that little green rig. Haven’t seen the mopar a/c compressor trick in a long time. Right on 🤘🏻👊🏻
He shortened and re welded the cab
I truly enjoyed these rigs and their people. My favorite rig, for charm and sound, is the Land Cruiser. Thanks for posting!
awesome rigs! I like the bong holder in that Land Cruiser lol.

Best vicarious fer an old guy all week! TYVM! This surely a blast and really fun to watch, yay Kelowna!
Cant wait to get out again :)
The bong holder was a great upgrade
The perfect amount of snow. Just enough work to get through and satisfying when you do.
Bad corn snow made things tough
I'm old and I can't afford to do this, but I'm grateful that you take me along
Re mortgage 💸 the house ? Maybe 🤔
Impressive well built rigs,,, enjoyed watching.
Glad you enjoyed it
That bnog with custom holder is awesome in that land cruiser!
Hey I just put 33's on my TJ...........................Cool story bro
The bong holder is mint🤣🤣
Shh 🤫
@Ibex- right right, ITS A VASE!
Love the bong mount 😁
That is sick the bong holder
Shh
Thanks for a wonderful time out back again.
Any time!
YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OSTACRUISER????EPIC IS THE WORD FOR THAT MAN!!!YOU HAVE A GREAT GUY ON YOUR BACK IN OSTACRUISER THE GUY IS A LEGAND AROUND THE INTERNET AND BEYOND.....TOTALLY BAD ASS....
It was fun to finally hang out with him.
Thank you for the entertainment and for feeding the plants!
Any time!
Cool truck and u cant go out in the woods without the glass bong hell yeah 👍
My thoughts exactly
The bong holder on that and cruiser is mint.
Man, that gray Chevy is awesome. I mean, all of the rigs out here are, but that one just speaks to me as an HD truck guy.
I loved the camping content. Reminded me of when I was a kid and my dad use to take my brothers and I out.
I Like "El Pato" for the duck, sounds 😎
the bong holder in the mint wheeler is mint lmao
That bong holder in the green land cruiser... 10/10.
The bong holder at 6:35 is an amazing accessory!
Need to rig up a PTO driven snow blower on the front vehicle to clear the deep stuff
I love seeing this guy's helping each other out when one is problem
the CB radios are a big help
That’s the fun see someone show their ass and eventually getting stuck then see who is able to get them out. Mudding through the swamp same thing
Yep. Always help another truck out, cuz you're probably the next one stuck, you just don't know it yet.
Looks like a lot of fun, for everyone, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Good to hear from ya Buddy :)
I love the bong holder in the land cruiser
Техника у мужиков зачётная, ничего не скажешь. Респект!
только шерп спокойно преодолевал снега
I was hoping for a 60 y/o English teacher with an unruly beard dressed as a power ranger to sneak up on them on cross country skis.
That would have bin perfect 👍🏻
Or a deer hunter on a horse walking with his elk on a mule. Like the beautiful country was meant to be not raped by big horsepower bored idiots
It is fun see the setups on these rigs. Looks fun!
Big powerful machine with a little road runner horn!
I play with 1/10 scale versions of these, and I have a blast. I can imagine the real thing would just be insane! Awesome video!!

Blasting through that on a snowmobile is much more fun. But this video is just too epic lol.
Awesome collection of rigs.
Glad you like them!
Great video. Looks like a blast!
thank you :)
I have live in snow country and I have learned that a tall skinny tire is best in the snow. Why do you run wide tires in the snow? I love the video please don't be offended it is a legit question.
If you cant dig to the bottom with skinnies then float on the top, the green ford named Gord in this video had very little tread but went everywhere.
The wheels itself looks good for this job. The problem is on the middle part - between the front wheels, where truck sits on the snow with its bottom.
A first idea: You can try to install the cone on the front of the first truck - to move the snow away to the sides. So it will work like an icebreaker.
A second idea: The bottom (frame) of the truck must be much higher from the ground.
Yes the snow was not good, it was waist deep corn snow, even the guys on portal axles had trouble
Lol thanks for the advice doesnt look like they know what they're doing ...prob the first time they ever drove
Needed tracks instead of tires and add a snow plow on the lead vehicle.
That sherp is sick
Awesome meeting you in person!! Great video!! What a day❤️❤️
Same here! :)
The Sherp did good!
Cool rigs

That green buggy us built like a tank to handle all that stress of breaking through those conditions.
Some well built buggy’s for sure
Now that's how you have fun in the snow
Best bong holder ever on the light gren
I've taken my F-150 through that same trail at Big Meadow Lake!! Not NEARLY as much snow on the ground though!!!
This wasn’t good snow ❄️
Crazy Guys..crazy fun!!! Amazing❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't help but imagine a snowmobile just zipping by.
More $ then brain's.
Thought about bringing my Dragon to film 🎥 from.
Not n that deep of SNOW JAKASS!!!
A sled would rip right across the top.
They are aware of the existence of snow mobiles. You should confront them face to face
Paddle tires kick ass! 👍💪 I'd love to see how well all the rest does with them.

Snowmobile, nah, I’d rather blow my entire life savings building a rig that does the same thing at 1/10th the fuel efficiency! Lol, cool rigs!
Way more challenging lol was nice staying warm and dry.
I am surprised that the tires are so wide! We have skidders that go thru the forest in the winter thru 4 feet of snow to haul cut trees out for lumber and the tires are at most about 8 inches wide and they never get stuck. They go where there are no roads and the snow can be chest high. They haul about 8 or 10 trees out going up hill to boot. I would bet if the tires were a lot narrower they would have no problems!!!
lol. no. You get stuck in snow because you high center. Skinny tires achieve that instantly. Your skidder wouldn't make it 10'
It probably has a lot to do with weight
Scherp wo ist scherp???
I don't know why some people seem to believe that narrow tires are effective in deep snow and ice. It's just not the case, wider+taller tires with a greater surface area contact patch are better. They help you float above the snow rather than sink into it and high center.
