Is that what those tires are called, tracked? Sorry if this seems like a silly question. Born and raised in the south and I have never seen these in my 40+ years on Earth. They're really cool looking. Do you know if they work when there isn't snow, or do they have to change them in and out all winter?
@@illbeyourstumbleine Those are tracks. There are a number of different makers/brands and some folks have even made their own. You could technically use them anywhere but non-soft environments (e.g. bare pavement) would cause accelerated wear if not damage after enough time/distance (so not advisable). I'm not sure what Casey does, but some folks in recovery would probably leave them on as a dedicated tracked vehicle. But those do appear to be able to be removed and swapped back to normal rubber tires if desired.
@@NPzed thank you so much for taking time out to answer my question so thoroughly, I really appreciate it. Like I said, I am from the south born and raised, but we are looking for land near the mountains (not sure on Rocky or Appalachian yet) in the next couple years to start a small farm. Just farming for ourselves, nothing big or agricultural. I think some call it homesteading, but others say homesteading was were you claimed free land and you can't do that anymore...but I think you catch my drift. Just trying to learn all I can, and do what I can hands on to prepare myself for the move. Can't wait to have snow!
Thank you Casey and grumpy! That was my son you rescued in the Silverado. I appreciate all your help. Loved the video! So cool to share the whole story. You guys are great! Happy new year!🎉👍💪
I assume Casey charges a fair price that's never enough. I'm sure people complain or have something to say but having the vehicles and equipment that allows him to go and do these rescues isn't cheap. And not too many people are willing to go and help people like this. Or they screw up and get stuck themselves.
Growing up in Idaho and the mountain snow that comes fast and surprising, before radar weather on the internet, caught my father in the mountains. When we found him he had shot a rabbit and was cooking him in a hubcap from his vehicle. I will never forget the first thing he said was, "Did you bring any whiskey?" He would have loved these videos
Living in Idaho for 35 years I can't count how many times I've had to do stuff like this, for myself and for others. There's something about a good snow storm that brings people together. Gotta love it.
@@redman840 when you live in areas where this kind of weather is inevitable during winter you can't just stay home. I've been at work at the hospital and walked out to my car buried in 3 feet of snow. It's part of life in the mountains.

Grew up on a farm in to 60s - 80s by a state hwy. Had some doozy blizzards in those years. Recall a few occasions of Dad going out w/ one of the larger tractors to pull people out. Sometimes just got them into our farm and stay over till the state plow cleared the road.
This is the same energy as the one guy in the neighborhood with a truck and a snowplow attachment clearing out the residential streets that the city can’t get to. You’re my hero!
Middle of winter around 10 years ago in Duluth, MN. My buddy saw one of those little Grumman mail trucks was stuck bad and the mailman was well behind on his route, so my friend brought out his lifted Suburban and drove the mailman on his route. Really nice guy, too bad the post office can't spurge a little on some 4x4s or something because those mail trucks get stuck on a snowball.
You guys are great! Out there freezing your tail off and helping people. You're the best. My husband and I at one time owned a home at over 10,000 ft high in the Colorado mountains. We were the only ones that lived there year 'round. For everyone else it was their second homes for weekends and such. Inevitably people would knock on our door looking for help because we were the only house with lights on. Folks just don't know how deep the snow gets up that high. Folks and their kids would stay with me to have hot chocolate while my husband would go pull their vehicle out. And cellphones didn't have a signal that high up. They could use our landline to let their loved ones know what was going on. It's a good feeling to help people out. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks again and God bless you!
Grumpy, you’re a great friend to Casey! To be willing to go on those rescues with him in that winter weather at night speaks volumes! As much as I admire and care about Casey, I do also for you! You two are exceptional together and I pray you both go on this way for many years to come. I wish I could know you personally.
imagining, would be counter productive... try being that neighbor. The world would be such a kinder, safer place. People freeze to death in these temps...I know, because I live in Vermont.
@@themancalledx except it is free. He charges companies that have a company vehicles get stuck money but for regular people that get stranded due to a mistake or poor discissions he rescues them for free.
@@bravejango12 GOOD people still do exist! Thank God for that!!! Not every help should have a dollar tagged to it. These people are a Blessing to those not knowing how they'll make it out.
I honestly don’t understand the drivers who don’t think about driving in those conditions. They are in the wrong vehicles, have no survival gear, and usually no extra food or water. Absolutely astounding.
Thank you for doing this. I live in Vermont so we see a lot of this type of weather. About 5 years ago my car slipped off our roads with front wheels on the edge of a ledge. My cell phone battery was dead so couldn’t call anyone. I kept beeping my horn hoping someone could hear it but no one came out of nearby houses. My son-in- law happened by on his way home and tried to pull me out with his pickup but didn’t work. I didn’t dare take my foot off the brake and put in park as I was afraid it would roll forward the few inches I had left under the front tires. A young women from New Jersey who was visiting her grandparents further up our road pulled her Jeep up and pulled me out no problem. She wouldn’t accept any kind of payment except a hug. Thank God for good people like her and you and Grumpy. BTW I now own the typical car in Vermont, a Subaru. No problems now
Good tires and 4 wheel drive save lives. My daughter drives a wicked highway (coquihalla) weekly....and she's helped a few folks along the way. Please people.... check the road conditions BEFORE you leave! If it's not good.....make your departure the next day. 👍😁
This video brought me right back to northern NH! Today, it was 76 degrees here in Florida where I retired to. I'm loving every, single minute of the glorious sun and it's wicked fun, too!!!
I have family in that area! That Jeep is a FREAKING MONSTER!! Just what we need here in ND for our wicked winters. Casey and Mr. Grumpy, a testament to the awesomeness of great people still out there helping others 😀 👍 you both are forever in my prayers.
... or HOW to turn around. That big Chevy pickup, I can't believe he was too dumb to turn it around. He even had snow chains! Fine, that Chevy was pretty long, and there was a ditch one side of the road, but it was still absolutely doable. Just go back and forth, back and forth like 15 times. He was an idiot.
@@anadubar4819 Totally uncalled-for comment. You know absolutely NOTHING of his circumstances. Now I'm looking at the last word of your rave and find myself wondering who is the...!
I know I shouldn’t have laughed, but when you said to grumpy “are you going over there to fall in the ditch” and he did exactly that, I couldn’t help myself. Great job guys. Happy New Year to you both.
Ha, me too!! Nice job Casey and Grumpy! Grumpy, stay away from those ditches, LOL!! That did look like fun for you guys, but it could have been life saving for the stuck parties.
My town had an unplowed dirt road around a lake and so many people got stuck every winter, they finally decided to close it for the winters now. Prior to closing, I saw one old lady go bombing around it in a mini van one day with about 2-3" of snow and ice on it.
@@AStanton1966 There are. 4WD turbocharged mini vans I've only seen outside the US. Might be because of import restrictions or emissions. Little turbochargers work wonders at altitude.
♥️Grumpy Cam!🥰 Thanks for doing what you do Casey! Your purpose is greater than anything you can put in words!! Heaven-sent! Thank you for being you! Hope you are feeling well! ❤️🩹🫶🏼✌🏼 Edit: Thank you Grumpy!♥️✌🏼 you do great camera work!
thats awesome that you help people like this. I was in an accident a few years ago and people just drove by for like 3 hours. luckily I was ably to uncover the exhaust pipe and keep warm in the car even though I was half way in a ditch. luckily an old man in a 3/4 ton suburban came by and pulled me out.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Back in 2014 when I have my avalanche, it took me 6 hrs to go 10 miles bcuz I had to keep stopping to pull people out. I couldn't just drive by and see people sitting, waiting 3 hrs for AAA.
Might want to get a name of "old men" that pull you out and give them a bit more respect when they help you out like that. Kinda karma thing with the universe of m
@@charleysturbos7320 First off I am not going to post someone's name in a TH-cam chat without Permission. Second off you thinking that me calling someone an old man is disrespectful is kinda wierd. Third I grew to become very close to him and his family and we ALL call him Old Man because its his nickname/Title. Hes the head of the family "The Old Man". Also in my experience it is normally the older generations that go out of their way to help people. So before you post something insinuating that someone is disrespectful and don't know the name of the person that saved them maybe keep the post to yourself because you have know way of knowing the full story from one little post thanking a youtuber for going out of their way to help people.
@@kimbrundige6320 I doubt that woman in the Subarau was out extreme pleasure wheeling in the snow. She was probably trying to get get home from work (remember the time??) and her boss didn't close early for snow where she lives (like they do here in the big city metro area). Trying to get home from work at dusk makes her stupid?
@@JGMan0011 Compassion is a rare thing in many today and you have to wonder why? And agreed on might have been heading home from work. You are right - many employers do not allow early leaving. :)
I'm just flabbergasted by the entire 17 minute adventure rescue filled with goodwill and finding myself at the edge of my seat and breathless! You're both an inspiration ❣️
Sitting here in Western Australia in a warm 87 f / 31 c its great to see a couple of blokes giving up their time to helping others. I sure hope there's a bit of fuel money either handed or mailed to you from the folks you rescue before they freeze. Down Under, we usually use the carton of beer currency. Happy New Year to all. P.S. Just subscribed to help you heroes out a little.
I am in North Queensland Australia. I am in 35c. Feels weird hearing 35 degrees and it is snowing. Have not had a winter for 10 years. To me this fantasy world!
It really helps to read your owner's manual to understand how your traction control/stability control systems work in these newer vehicles. They will aid in preventing you from getting stuck, but should you GET stuck anyways, they will prevent wheel spin which you need in order to get unstuck. That is why there is a button on your dash to disable the traction control system in these situations, like Casey explained to the customer of the VW. This also brings to light the importance of having some emergency supplies in your vehicle when traveling. Water, blankets, fire starter, first aid, etc
It's good to know which way to turn the steering wheel to follow the tow truck. Now all those saved people need to do is pick a charity and pay some funds into it. As I don't think they were charged for the rescue.
I think it's just a gimmick... Only *fast* sports cars or big vans should have any need for traction control. Splits your torque when it works, but takes all of it when it fails.
Part of the problem is 'You ve Traction Control! You have 4 wheel drive! You have what some nerd sitting in an office proggrames for what they think you will get into. Best advice is always , if you don't like the look of it, Don't do it. To many people relying on gadgets. How many people look at ABS? Warning- ABS can increase braking distance in slippery conditions. It's in every manual.
I was born and raised in Oregon and actually know the area you towed these people from. It amazes me that people still make an attempt to get through all that thinking "I got this!" then just end up stuck. Thanks for what you guys do!
They crack me with their witty back & forth. Make a smile out of a negative situation that became a positive. "You want to go fall in the ditch over there 😅" Good selfless deeds ❤️
It amazes me how people think they can drive in this type of snow in regular vehicles. They’re beyond blessed to have folks like you around. God put you here for a reason.
lol its not even that bad they just need snow tires and keep traction control off. some people dont learn though and should always stay home when it snows. some drivers can make a awd vehicle feel like a 4x4 but alot just leave traction control on and think spinning or locked up tires have better traction.
As a retired SAR member, that is exactly the reason we were so busy, people getting in over their heads and failing to use common sense, 99% of the time. Kudos to these guys because we would always deploy with a team of no less than 16 and still would have had to call a recovery team anyways. 🤷♀️
Put good snow tires on, and you can drive in a fwd or rwd passenger in much worse conditions than that. All season tires, all terrain tires or mud tires will get you stuck in no time at all in certain types of snow, even if you drive a 4wd vehicle with full differential lockers.
@@lampitl Couldn’t agree more! I just got my first set of studded Winterforce Firestones on my Sierra and I will never run without studs again if possible. Too much ice here in Eastern Canada.
I grew up in Central Oregon, Bend, LaPine, Gilchrist, and enjoy seeing what it is like now. A little bit of ancient history: when my grandfather lived in Lapine way back in the late 40s, early 50s, there was no electricity to the town. He was part of the Rural Electrification Association to bring electricity to the area for the first time. That shows how long it took to bring things others had to the rural Western US. Keep up the good work rescuing people who think they can drive anywhere in any conditions!
I was just today thinking that I shouldn’t ever drive through there ever again as it’d probably be too sad. We had 50 acres on the Old Bend Redmond Highway from 1969 until the early 80s when my father took jerkdom to another level. Full-on view of the Three Sisters and Black Butte … used to float down the irrigation ditches in summer. Rattle our brains loose hitting all that volcanic rock on those dusty dirt roads riding our banana seat bikes. I remember that intense hit of sage brush we’d get after driving from Portland . Can only imagine how things would be different if they’d held onto that land.
Yes. The National Weather Service Drought Report for the Inland Northwest on Christmas Eve forecasts the next three months to be "wetter than normal" and "colder than normal" so there's hope for a higher than normal snowpack to reduce our drought condition from Extreme Stage 4 last summer, now Stage 3, and it would be great to get back to some good moisture years for crops, livestock, fish, wildlife, and more.
I am sitting here laughing that the only one of the 4 that you didn't need to "pull" to get them out was the one you went there to find!! Great job & Happy new years!
@@Hammerdak you'd be surprised how many new AWD and 4WD Vehicles have no ability to control this. The new Subaru's do not let you turn off all of the nannies. It's amazingly annoying. Thankfully I have a WRX (which can disable all Computer assistance outside of ABS) which even being lower and on HP Summer Tires was able to drive through snow, in the Hills outside Pittsburgh, just as deep as this. Put the sucker in 2nd and just let all 4 spin to gain some traction and as long as I didn't have to keep momentum up a steep long hill I could make it work. But that's more driver ability than anything else.
@@STR33TZK1NG Agreed, that was a Subaru Outback wasn’t it? They’re supposed to be really good in snow, friend of mine had one and there was nothing it wouldn’t do here in Eastern Canada. We have a huge influx of non-winter Southern hemisphere’ers here the last few years and it’s non-stop recovery here after EVERY storm.
Got suggested this video, I have to say that I appreciate how kind you are to people. You probably saved that kid at minimum a scary experience and at worst an early death from exposure.
I know there is a group of people in Yamhill County that do this kind of rescue as volunteers to assist our local search and rescue team. My husband used to be in search and rescue and it's all volunteer and hard work when they get called out. Appreciate services like this that save those who don't have a clue (or are over confident in their vehicle and abilities).
Having been stuck in the snow late night after a dumb idea there's no better relief or feeling when someone rescues you, to the guys in the lifted 80's Toyota pickup all those years ago Thank You!👍
I love the desire to help and the ingenuity. The Jeep is impressive! I cannot accept that people can get stranded on I-95 for 18-19 hours or longer! To me it seems that VDOT and all the other states that get snow should have some vehicles like this!
The recent issue on I-95 in Virginia was mostly due to impassable down trees, both on the interstate itself as well as on access roads for crews to get on the interstate to help. Can this guy's rig get over trees more than an inch or two in diameter?
It wasn't that they were snowed in.. There were disabled and wrecked semi trucks causing the blockage.. This jeep is badass, but not enough for a semi truck..
WOW! Absolute heros,!! Saving A guy n his kids ..and we all hope hubby now listens to his wife, seriously. And then...a guy. AND then...another guy. AND THEN!!!....yupper!! Oh lordy.
14:05 im amazed this guy got stuck because those foresters are amazing in the snow with the right tires and jacked up a little bit. one of the best i have driven in powdery snow
The VW tow eye/hook is usually stowed with the spare wheel tools. There are normally two threads (left and right) to secure the tow eye accessed through holes in the front bumper.
Those tow eyes are great in theory, but there is usually a bunch of junk on top of the spare tire, then the cover gets stuck on so you wind up scratching the bumper getting it open, then something is full of snow, then you drop the thing and can’t find it, then whatever else, and on and on. Or just loop onto a control arm. Or the eye is missing, which also happens.
Love seeing my native Central Oregon with a coat of snow. I used to work for Consolidated and always wanted to take the snow cat on a rescue. Great job man.
Another great video. You are providing a potentially lifesaving rescue. It must be me, but I would never go out at night , alone, in a snow storm, with something that has 5” of ground clearance .
It's common sense not to drive in a snowstorm but in all fairness, we have no idea why these people decided to take a chance and drive in it anyway. Many things like trying to get fuel so their house stays warm, hungry disabled Grandparents, or simply trying to get home after visiting with friends when the snow started. Super happy they rescued them all. 🙂
I would say the same, but I have done it more than once! Although not in the mountains. Only got stuck once, but was in no danger as I had good winter clothing, and was near niehbors.
I was needing help desperately just a week ago & being unable to find help has made me question where our society is headed but seeing this video does a little to help repair my bruised opinion of folks today. Thank you so much for your efforts to help anyone who needs it!
I know what you mean years ago I had to hike 12 miles I was somewhere between bear canyon lake and Knowls Lake with my 4 year old on my shoulders cause my alternator stoped working on my truck we had at least 5 or 6 cars pass us yet no one stopped
@@erikrobles5727 I would have stopped to pick you up without a doubt. My dad used to work in the bush up here in Northern Ontario Canada he would often help people out in the bush. He taught us well.
As a first time viewer, I am not sure you guys are making money or just putting nice toys to work, and having a bit of fun in the process, but I thank you, regardless, for the service you provided those folks.
My guess is they were called alongside Search and Rescue, it might be free. I know here in Eastern Canada, we’re a volunteer organization and no charges incurred by the souls, yet. But the rules they are a changing, recovery equipment is not cheap and we’d spend a more time fundraising or chasing government grants than we actually did searching. Which always burnt out our members. And that is an international fact. Support your local SAR Services, “So Others May Live!”
So awesome! Used to live in Michigan and was stuck in snow at least once a year! lol Not fun but always appreciate people that helped. God bless you for your willingness to help people. You probably saved lives! Looked pretty cold too! Brrr
Amazing video and well done to both of you for your skill and bravery in helping others in tough conditions. Maybe hand out some kind of small merch or business card with your details on it so that those who you rescued have the option of making a donation or smt. I think it's very kind of you to do the rescues free of charge on that night - but you got a family to feed as much as they have.
This is a replay of what happened to the Kim family on Bear Camp Road in southern Oregon in 2006, trying to reach Gold Beach. Much better ending! Know the road, read the warning signs, and know your vehicles capabilities. If not, all-wheel drive may be in your epitaph! Great job guys!
@@canoebelue 4WD is dangerous in snow...locked diffs help in powder, but once things start getting icy, locking diffs will actually get you in more trouble.

That was interesting watching you drive. I have never seen snow before. I was born in Florida and have never been in it. I am 75 yrs old and have been many places in the world but only in summertime. You guys are awesome. Good going
Wow. It is so easy to forget just how vast our country is, and how one can live 75yrs without seeing snow. If you get the chance, go a bit farther north to see it. Snow is wonderful. I'm only 33 but I've been from one coast to the other, north Dakota down to Texas. It is amazingly beautiful to see the difference in the country.
Wow. I'm from Texas and rarely got to see snow either until my Dad moved us to Missouri. Then almost like clockwork every year, we would see the first snow by Thanksgiving! So beautiful and soft and COLD and it really does blanket the dark dreary wintry dead world in white!!!
I am from Minnesota I have never seen summer before. The snow is definitely something else and makes driving extremely hazardous. It can get slushy and wet making braking take 3-4 times longer, and as in this video causing you to not need to brake by being stuck in couple feet of snow that basically turns your car into a stationary object. Trust me when I say, your not missing out on anything! 🥶
Thanks for being rescue superstars. This makes me nostalgic for life in southern Oregon. Been there back in my 20-something days, without a cell phone or other folks to help. Good times! I hope some of these bonus folks find you and send some appreciation your way. ;-)
This reminds me of my husband and I deciding to drive to Reno in Feb. We were going through the Siskiyou's Pass following tracks of the vehicle in front of us. We had a nice little Suzuki Sidekick that was 4 wheel drive. You had to manually lock the hubs. That thing could go through snow. We also drove it on the beach a few times.
Grumpy cam for the win! He really does add his own flavour to the videos you shoot of those trips of you two together: I hope to see more of him, if you can convince him to not run away from his wife and home, that is! ;-) That was indeed quite the adventure! I can't help but think that this was exactly the kind of adventure that you were secretly hoping for when you bought those tracks for the Jeep! I still can't help but wonder what those people were thinking, driving into the deep snow with vehicles like that, especially with kids on board! But maybe I've just spent too much time driving in the mountains in the winter...
You’re definitely 2 very nice guys !! I live in Georgia and I’m here to tell you if it’s snowing like this in Georgia….you won’t be getting me !! My butt will stay where I am at !!😱😱 Thank you for all you’re doing !!

You two are exceptional together and I pray you both go on this way for many years to come. I wish I could know you personally.
Good job young man, the world needs more people like you.
Hear! Hear! Hear! Great job.
Yes well put, hear, hear outstanding!!!
Totally agreed!!!
OP lo no no
Imagine if everybody had a neighbor with even half the generosity of these two. Awesome!
imagining, would be counter productive... try being that neighbor. The world would be such a kinder, safer place. People freeze to death in these temps...I know, because I live in Vermont.
Generosity? Its a business. Nothings free
@@themancalledx except it is free. He charges companies that have a company vehicles get stuck money but for regular people that get stranded due to a mistake or poor discissions he rescues them for free.
@@bravejango12 GOOD people still do exist! Thank God for that!!! Not every help should have a dollar tagged to it. These people are a Blessing to those not knowing how they'll make it out.
@@bravejango12 i hope alot of those people alteast try and give him something
That tracked Jeep is one heck of a handy device. It looks like it will be a great investment. Well done with this episode.
I live where it does not snow. What you and Grumpy do is amazing! People are blessed to have you.
I honestly don’t understand the drivers who don’t think about driving in those conditions. They are in the wrong vehicles, have no survival gear, and usually no extra food or water. Absolutely astounding.
Absolutely stupid.
I can't even imagine the relief for these people when they saw you! God bless you guys AMEN!
Thank you for doing this. I live in Vermont so we see a lot of this type of weather. About 5 years ago my car slipped off our roads with front wheels on the edge of a ledge. My cell phone battery was dead so couldn’t call anyone. I kept beeping my horn hoping someone could hear it but no one came out of nearby houses. My son-in- law happened by on his way home and tried to pull me out with his pickup but didn’t work. I didn’t dare take my foot off the brake and put in park as I was afraid it would roll forward the few inches I had left under the front tires. A young women from New Jersey who was visiting her grandparents further up our road pulled her Jeep up and pulled me out no problem. She wouldn’t accept any kind of payment except a hug. Thank God for good people like her and you and Grumpy. BTW I now own the typical car in Vermont, a Subaru. No problems now
How Scary 😨 .. Glad you were *Blessed by an Angel*
Jersey Girls rock lol
Glad you're good. A reminder to all to keep phones charged
Good tires and 4 wheel drive save lives. My daughter drives a wicked highway (coquihalla) weekly....and she's helped a few folks along the way. Please people.... check the road conditions BEFORE you leave!
If it's not good.....make your departure the next day. 👍😁
This video brought me right back to northern NH! Today, it was 76 degrees here in Florida where I retired to. I'm loving every, single minute of the glorious sun and it's wicked fun, too!!!
I've never seen you guys before. That was fun and interesting. I would point out however that Grumpy isn't nearly grumpy enough to be called Grumpy. 😁
Right . It should be mr. Cool or mr. Happy . Lol
I need to see how he acts when his steak is over cooked. Then I’d truly know.
That's Grampy.,not Grumpy!!!😂😂
Right? What a great couple of guys. Never hurts to stock pile karma points.
Mildly annoyed
I have family in that area! That Jeep is a FREAKING MONSTER!! Just what we need here in ND for our wicked winters. Casey and Mr. Grumpy, a testament to the awesomeness of great people still out there helping others 😀 👍 you both are forever in my prayers.
Totally agreed!!!
You guys are awesome. You saved 4 families from freezing.

That big Chevy pickup, I can't believe he was too dumb to turn it around. He even had snow chains!
Fine, that Chevy was pretty long, and there was a ditch one side of the road, but it was still absolutely doable. Just go back and forth, back and forth like 15 times. He was an idiot.
@@anadubar4819 Totally uncalled-for comment. You know absolutely NOTHING of his circumstances. Now I'm looking at the last word of your rave and find myself wondering who is the...!
@@anadubar4819 if the wagon didn't make it, the pickup wouldn't have ever made it. Don't be dumb.
I know I shouldn’t have laughed, but when you said to grumpy “are you going over there to fall in the ditch” and he did exactly that, I couldn’t help myself.
Great job guys. Happy New Year to you both.
Ha, me too!! Nice job Casey and Grumpy! Grumpy, stay away from those ditches, LOL!! That did look like fun for you guys, but it could have been life saving for the stuck parties.
Only thing to do in deep snow :)
My town had an unplowed dirt road around a lake and so many people got stuck every winter, they finally decided to close it for the winters now. Prior to closing, I saw one old lady go bombing around it in a mini van one day with about 2-3" of snow and ice on it.
@@AStanton1966 There are. 4WD turbocharged mini vans I've only seen outside the US. Might be because of import restrictions or emissions. Little turbochargers work wonders at altitude.
Yeah, we almost lost Grumpy hidden in a snowbank with a white beard. If it wasn't for the shine off his glasses.
♥️Grumpy Cam!🥰
Thanks for doing what you do Casey! Your purpose is greater than anything you can put in words!! Heaven-sent! Thank you for being you! Hope you are feeling well! ❤️🩹🫶🏼✌🏼
Edit: Thank you Grumpy!♥️✌🏼 you do great camera work!
Nothing like the life-giving, volunteer work of these two.. EXCEPTIONAL WORK! THANK YOU!!!
I was just happy that Grumpy was able to navigate himself out of the ditch instead of being towed out. Self respect left intact. 👍 nice job fellas
thats awesome that you help people like this. I was in an accident a few years ago and people just drove by for like 3 hours. luckily I was ably to uncover the exhaust pipe and keep warm in the car even though I was half way in a ditch. luckily an old man in a 3/4 ton suburban came by and pulled me out.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Back in 2014 when I have my avalanche, it took me 6 hrs to go 10 miles bcuz I had to keep stopping to pull people out. I couldn't just drive by and see people sitting, waiting 3 hrs for AAA.
Might want to get a name of "old men" that pull you out and give them a bit more respect when they help you out like that. Kinda karma thing with the universe of m
@@charleysturbos7320 First off I am not going to post someone's name in a TH-cam chat without Permission. Second off you thinking that me calling someone an old man is disrespectful is kinda wierd. Third I grew to become very close to him and his family and we ALL call him Old Man because its his nickname/Title. Hes the head of the family "The Old Man". Also in my experience it is normally the older generations that go out of their way to help people. So before you post something insinuating that someone is disrespectful and don't know the name of the person that saved them maybe keep the post to yourself because you have know way of knowing the full story from one little post thanking a youtuber for going out of their way to help people.

She was probably trying to get get home from work (remember the time??) and her boss didn't close early for snow where she lives (like they do here in the big city metro area). Trying to get home from work at dusk makes her stupid?
@@JGMan0011 Compassion is a rare thing in many today and you have to wonder why? And agreed on might have been heading home from work. You are right - many employers do not allow early leaving. :)

Wow, what a nice couple of guys helping all those people out. It does make me so happy to live in Florida, though!
Lol
Sitting here in Western Australia in a warm 87 f / 31 c its great to see a couple of blokes giving up their time to helping others. I sure hope there's a bit of fuel money either handed or mailed to you from the folks you rescue before they freeze. Down Under, we usually use the carton of beer currency. Happy New Year to all.

It really helps to read your owner's manual to understand how your traction control/stability control systems work in these newer vehicles. They will aid in preventing you from getting stuck, but should you GET stuck anyways, they will prevent wheel spin which you need in order to get unstuck. That is why there is a button on your dash to disable the traction control system in these situations, like Casey explained to the customer of the VW. This also brings to light the importance of having some emergency supplies in your vehicle when traveling. Water, blankets, fire starter, first aid, etc
It's good to know which way to turn the steering wheel to follow the tow truck. Now all those saved people need to do is pick a charity and pay some funds into it. As I don't think they were charged for the rescue.
I think it's just a gimmick... Only *fast* sports cars or big vans should have any need for traction control.
Splits your torque when it works, but takes all of it when it fails.
Part of the problem is 'You ve Traction Control! You have 4 wheel drive! You have what some nerd sitting in an office proggrames for what they think you will get into. Best advice is always , if you don't like the look of it, Don't do it. To many people relying on gadgets. How many people look at ABS? Warning- ABS can increase braking distance in slippery conditions. It's in every manual.
Traction control button or not, modern vehicles should pretty much not be driven into questionable conditions
In deep powder traction control does nothing good. Also by the looks, they didn't have proper winter tires
I was born and raised in Oregon and actually know the area you towed these people from. It amazes me that people still make an attempt to get through all that thinking "I got this!" then just end up stuck. Thanks for what you guys do!
... before they said, hold my beer, and watch this.. 🤣
famous last words 🤔
And most don't even take supplies just in case.
What are they trying to get too? Is it a highway? Recreation? Gas station? What draws people there exactly?
@@Letsjustbehonesttoday it's a short cut to Sun River.
@@DivineMizE So Recreation? Thanks for replying to my curiosity.

Good selfless deeds ❤️
Grumpy running away from home😂 You guys are awesome!😊 When you rescue these people you are always so kind❤ God bless and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
It amazes me how people think they can drive in this type of snow in regular vehicles. They’re beyond blessed to have folks like you around. God put you here for a reason.
My thoughts exactly!
lol its not even that bad they just need snow tires and keep traction control off. some people dont learn though and should always stay home when it snows. some drivers can make a awd vehicle feel like a 4x4 but alot just leave traction control on and think spinning or locked up tires have better traction.
As a retired SAR member, that is exactly the reason we were so busy, people getting in over their heads and failing to use common sense, 99% of the time. Kudos to these guys because we would always deploy with a team of no less than 16 and still would have had to call a recovery team anyways.
🤷♀️
Put good snow tires on, and you can drive in a fwd or rwd passenger in much worse conditions than that. All season tires, all terrain tires or mud tires will get you stuck in no time at all in certain types of snow, even if you drive a 4wd vehicle with full differential lockers.
@@lampitl Couldn’t agree more! I just got my first set of studded Winterforce Firestones on my Sierra and I will never run without studs again if possible. Too much ice here in Eastern Canada.
I grew up in Central Oregon, Bend, LaPine, Gilchrist, and enjoy seeing what it is like now. A little bit of ancient history: when my grandfather lived in Lapine way back in the late 40s, early 50s, there was no electricity to the town. He was part of the Rural Electrification Association to bring electricity to the area for the first time. That shows how long it took to bring things others had to the rural Western US. Keep up the good work rescuing people who think they can drive anywhere in any conditions!
I was just today thinking that I shouldn’t ever drive through there ever again as it’d probably be too sad. We had 50 acres on the Old Bend Redmond Highway from 1969 until the early 80s when my father took jerkdom to another level. Full-on view of the Three Sisters and Black Butte … used to float down the irrigation ditches in summer. Rattle our brains loose hitting all that volcanic rock on those dusty dirt roads riding our banana seat bikes. I remember that intense hit of sage brush we’d get after driving from Portland . Can only imagine how things would be different if they’d held onto that land.
The SAR guys must love you having that tracked jeep. Great job guys!
For those who did not call you must have seemed like an angel heaven sent.
Y'all are really good guys! You made a bunch of people and their families VERY happy that night.
I got a feeling snow recovery videos are going to blow up your channel in the next 4 months. Keep it up.
Yes. The National Weather Service Drought Report for the Inland Northwest on Christmas Eve forecasts the next three months to be "wetter than normal" and "colder than normal" so there's hope for a higher than normal snowpack to reduce our drought condition from Extreme Stage 4 last summer, now Stage 3, and it would be great to get back to some good moisture years for crops, livestock, fish, wildlife, and more.
I am sitting here laughing that the only one of the 4 that you didn't need to "pull" to get them out was the one you went there to find!! Great job & Happy new years!
You are angels.. thank you for the work that you do.. and being a good samaritan is icing on the cake💜
Why the hell wouldn’t a Volkswagen not have a towing point in the front of the vehicle? Unbelievable!
@@theodorehaskins3756 Towing eye is in the tool kit. You remove a small panel in the front bumper and screw it into the socket underneath.
@@Hammerdak you'd be surprised how many new AWD and 4WD Vehicles have no ability to control this. The new Subaru's do not let you turn off all of the nannies. It's amazingly annoying. Thankfully I have a WRX (which can disable all Computer assistance outside of ABS) which even being lower and on HP Summer Tires was able to drive through snow, in the Hills outside Pittsburgh, just as deep as this. Put the sucker in 2nd and just let all 4 spin to gain some traction and as long as I didn't have to keep momentum up a steep long hill I could make it work. But that's more driver ability than anything else.
@@STR33TZK1NG Agreed, that was a Subaru Outback wasn’t it? They’re supposed to be really good in snow, friend of mine had one and there was nothing it wouldn’t do here in Eastern Canada. We have a huge influx of non-winter Southern hemisphere’ers here the last few years and it’s non-stop recovery here after EVERY storm.
Great job Men! I'm sure everyone you helped won't forget your kindness..
Got suggested this video, I have to say that I appreciate how kind you are to people. You probably saved that kid at minimum a scary experience and at worst an early death from exposure.
I know there is a group of people in Yamhill County that do this kind of rescue as volunteers to assist our local search and rescue team. My husband used to be in search and rescue and it's all volunteer and hard work when they get called out. Appreciate services like this that save those who don't have a clue (or are over confident in their vehicle and abilities).
Having been stuck in the snow late night after a dumb idea there's no better relief or feeling when someone rescues you, to the guys in the lifted 80's Toyota pickup all those years ago Thank You!👍
Massive respect for what you do, gentlemen. Fantastic set-up you've got on your rig. Impressive.
I love the desire to help and the ingenuity. The Jeep is impressive! I cannot accept that people can get stranded on I-95 for 18-19 hours or longer! To me it seems that VDOT and all the other states that get snow should have some vehicles like this!
The recent issue on I-95 in Virginia was mostly due to impassable down trees, both on the interstate itself as well as on access roads for crews to get on the interstate to help. Can this guy's rig get over trees more than an inch or two in diameter?
It wasn't that they were snowed in.. There were disabled and wrecked semi trucks causing the blockage.. This jeep is badass, but not enough for a semi truck..

The VW tow eye/hook is usually stowed with the spare wheel tools. There are normally two threads (left and right) to secure the tow eye accessed through holes in the front bumper.
Those tow eyes are great in theory, but there is usually a bunch of junk on top of the spare tire, then the cover gets stuck on so you wind up scratching the bumper getting it open, then something is full of snow, then you drop the thing and can’t find it, then whatever else, and on and on. Or just loop onto a control arm.
Or the eye is missing, which also happens.
🤔🤣😂put in in before you go in the snow ?
@@TM-iq6sx
OR don’t buy a stinking VW !! OR don’t get stuck !!!
@@TM-iq6sx I agree that would be a decent option, but the average driver doesn’t plan to get stuck.

Another great video. You are providing a potentially lifesaving rescue. It must be me, but I would never go out at night , alone, in a snow storm, with something that has 5” of ground clearance .
It's common sense not to drive in a snowstorm but in all fairness, we have no idea why these people decided to take a chance and drive in it anyway. Many things like trying to get fuel so their house stays warm, hungry disabled Grandparents, or simply trying to get home after visiting with friends when the snow started. Super happy they rescued them all. 🙂
I would say the same, but I have done it more than once! Although not in the mountains. Only got stuck once, but was in no danger as I had good winter clothing, and was near niehbors.
@@mahbriggs So true, I think we have all probably driven when we shouldn't have but many of us get lucky! lol Glad there was help for you nearby. ☺

As a first time viewer, I am not sure you guys are making money or just putting nice toys to work, and having a bit of fun in the process, but I thank you, regardless, for the service you provided those folks.
My guess is they were called alongside Search and Rescue, it might be free. I know here in Eastern Canada, we’re a volunteer organization and no charges incurred by the souls, yet. But the rules they are a changing, recovery equipment is not cheap and we’d spend a more time fundraising or chasing government grants than we actually did searching. Which always burnt out our members. And that is an international fact.

Great to see the Jeep perform. So wise of you to get rid of the cat and put the effort into the Jeep. It is amazing!

Amazing video and well done to both of you for your skill and bravery in helping others in tough conditions. Maybe hand out some kind of small merch or business card with your details on it so that those who you rescued have the option of making a donation or smt. I think it's very kind of you to do the rescues free of charge on that night - but you got a family to feed as much as they have.
Knowing the limits of your vehicle, and yourself makes life much easier.
This is a replay of what happened to the Kim family on Bear Camp Road in southern Oregon in 2006, trying to reach Gold Beach. Much better ending! Know the road, read the warning signs, and know your vehicles capabilities. If not, all-wheel drive may be in your epitaph! Great job guys!

That was interesting watching you drive. I have never seen snow before. I was born in Florida and have never been in it. I am 75 yrs old and have been many places in the world but only in summertime.
You guys are awesome. Good going
Wow. It is so easy to forget just how vast our country is, and how one can live 75yrs without seeing snow. If you get the chance, go a bit farther north to see it. Snow is wonderful. I'm only 33 but I've been from one coast to the other, north Dakota down to Texas. It is amazingly beautiful to see the difference in the country.
Wow. I'm from Texas and rarely got to see snow either until my Dad moved us to Missouri. Then almost like clockwork every year, we would see the first snow by Thanksgiving! So beautiful and soft and COLD and it really does blanket the dark dreary wintry dead world in white!!!
Stick your head in the freezer for 6 months out of the year, and voila you've experienced living in the north.
I am from Minnesota I have never seen summer before. The snow is definitely something else and makes driving extremely hazardous. It can get slushy and wet making braking take 3-4 times longer, and as in this video causing you to not need to brake by being stuck in couple feet of snow that basically turns your car into a stationary object. Trust me when I say, your not missing out on anything! 🥶
I'm Canadian, believe me when I say. It's both amazing and a pain in the ass.
Thank God for you! You have helped so many! God bless you and may He keep you safe.
Thanks for being rescue superstars. This makes me nostalgic for life in southern Oregon. Been there back in my 20-something days, without a cell phone or other folks to help. Good times! I hope some of these bonus folks find you and send some appreciation your way. ;-)
This reminds me of my husband and I deciding to drive to Reno in Feb. We were going through the Siskiyou's Pass following tracks of the vehicle in front of us. We had a nice little Suzuki Sidekick that was 4 wheel drive. You had to manually lock the hubs. That thing could go through snow. We also drove it on the beach a few times.
You should see the storms this year lol
Grumpy cam for the win! He really does add his own flavour to the videos you shoot of those trips of you two together: I hope to see more of him, if you can convince him to not run away from his wife and home, that is! ;-)
That was indeed quite the adventure! I can't help but think that this was exactly the kind of adventure that you were secretly hoping for when you bought those tracks for the Jeep!
I still can't help but wonder what those people were thinking, driving into the deep snow with vehicles like that, especially with kids on board! But maybe I've just spent too much time driving in the mountains in the winter...
I’ve wanted to get some tracks for personal use for such a long time and this just drives the desire even higher.
Just make sure you add transmission, oil and power steering cooler. Otherwise you’ll break down too.
Track's are hard on the diffs as well, really hard on diffs
Nuthin' beats an old school,60/70's dodge power wagon,with winches,if you did that for a living,or lived that remotely,
