Toyota Gets Stuck 11 Miles Out A Snowmobile Trail!

- A couple of friends new to the area went up the mountain to check out the snow, and ended up stranded for three days. The missed the road closed signs and ended up on Cascade Lakes Highway, which is a snowmobile trail in the winter time. I took the tracked Jeep up and used my @harborfreight Apex winch to pull them out of the hole, and then my @YankumRopes to drag them down the road
For those curious about the tracks, they are the Dominator XL series tracks from www.americantracktruck.com/

I'm a snowmobiler here in oregon. I've ran into a fool of a 4wheeler one day near waldo lake. He was 10 miles from the nearest drivable road.. two young kids, no snow cold weather clothing.. stuck frame deep in powder snow in the ditch.. four of us offered to take them to safety.. they refused our help.. we passed by 5 hours later, still digging out.. still refused help.. I went back a month later.. truck was buried and no sign of dead people.. I wonder sometimes.
I grew up going to Crescent Lake snowmobiling my whole life and I remember sitting in my dad's lap before I was able to ride my owm. He will get a kick out of this story! We saw somebody stuck on the berm on Mt.Hood one day before they were going to groom it for trucks and he had his teenage daughters digging him out until our friend pulled him out
I would refuse help from yall as well
@@justinpalmer9417goofy ass dude
"I think he said NOT to give it gas" 😆🤦♂️
Casey you're a man of patience 👏👏
Camera man listened to your instructions better than wheel man , makes you really scratch your head as to how they got that far in !?! I’m sure conditions can easily change in 2 days time ( not trying to be negative about driver )
Hopefully both took it as a learning experience and will apply what they learned on their next outing
@@zachstevens8165 oh it can change in a matter of hours up where they were "camped" .................it's impressive how weather comes across those mountains
-Continues to pound the gas pedal-
The red Jeep is light duty and small engine ... no??? yes ??? I'm surprised its not a full size truck.
Impressive how that jeep floats on top the snow with those tracks.
Don't run over the rope!
this is definitely one of your best videos. Hilarious customers, crazy situation, tough conditions, and a chance for the track jeep to really shine. Too bad buddy didn't get to finish his igloo.
I was hoping some unsuspecting snowmobiler doesn't wind up in the hole left from the truck or igloo.
Led me to think
@@GabrielBawerman oof
First time driving in the snow. Gets further than most of Oregon natives in these videos.
Perfect
Lol maybe people from the city..
I get a lot of driving on both sand and snow and I have honestly come to believe it all comes down to common sense and how well a driver reacts with inputs. All day long we will see guys with 10 inched of lift and 37's refuse to air down or use a little throttle control and just sink 🤣🤣🤣.
My wife has an older 4x4 sorento (08) with some minor upgrades and good tires.... dam people have to do the drive of shame after that with a kinetic rope has yanked out 3/4 ton trucks that are stuck in the sand. The look on someone's face when her high milage kia that is worth less that their 20 something inch rims take care of business is priceless.
Huge shout out to anyone that carries recovery gear and helps others... just know your gear and what your comfortable with as sometimes it's best to leave it to a professional, such as this case!
Lol Oregon natives from the west side
Toyota.
Got to appreciate the optimism of toyota owners. This is akin to a landlocked person visiting the ocean for the first time and taking a dinghy out in a tropical storm and wonder why nobody else was on the water. 😅
Joking aside, glad you got them out! Kind of surprised one of the snowmobilers didn't call you sooner.
It's a 4runner. You can drive it on the moon. I saw in a CZcams video.
@That's Not Funny,That's Sick! that, plus the other job of every big toyota is having a crew served weapon welded on and being sent thru hell.
I pull Toyota’s out all the time with an F250. 😂🇺🇸 Subaru and Toyota drivers are the worst. 🤷♀️
@@unclejim2330 It's because they have some of the best 4WD and AWD systems for most stock vehicles. But none of that matters if you are too confident while using the wrong tires
HUGE Props to Zack's filming and commentary 🤜💥🤛
I wish they made track wheels for my bmw i3s that would be so awesome to be driving around on those instead of wheels
@@raven4k998 It's not a 4x4
You are a patient man, Casey. It made me wonder if they could manage to get stuck on the parking lot! 🤣
😂😂😂
right , lol , i thought the same thing
Actually ran into someone once... -25C in a packed snow completely empty 2AM parking lot, they hopped out for a second then back in and were completely stuck the car would not go anywhere. Turns out taking off the e-brake helps with that situation 🤣
@@corym.4971 🤣😂
How many times he has to say "stay in the middle"? 🤦♂️
Dude holding the camera has the exact same reaction I would seeing/hearing that jeep do work.
I can relate to the gentleman from Hawaii. We went to Maui on vacation. 80F and balmy on the beach. Went to the top of the Haleakala volcano. Temperature was about 45F and the wind was about 35 mph. You can feel the wind blowing the lava gravel in your face. Seems like the chill factor was near freezing. You could tell the visitors from the locals. Locals were dressed warm, visitors like us were in shorts and hawaiian shirts.
That reminds me of 2 years ago when we were in Colorado in August. We took a shelf road up to almost 13,000 feet and ended up running across a group from Texas. They were wearing winter coats and coveralls, while our group from Ohio were in shorts and T-shirts, having a snow ball fight near the summit lol.
Every time I go up there, there is a local selling hoodies out of a van. So I have like three Hawaii hoodies now.
Ask me about rip tides.. 😢😢😢
A friend of mine went out snow wheeling with his Four runner many years ago, only after getting a hundred middle fingers from the snowmobiler's did he realize that he was on one of their trails haha.
Yea, was on a dirt path that turned into a nice asphalt bike path. Fortunately, we just got looks.....
In Idaho it's illegal to travel on groomed snowmobile trails with wheeled vehicles. And it should be illegal everywhere.
When we come to rescue you, we also bring the Sheriff to cite you.
@@carlatamanczyk3891 Minnesota too.
@@carlatamanczyk3891 It is illegal here also, my friend made an honest mistake and turned around once he realized he wasn't supposed to be there.
@@timberray9572 Our trails are barricaded with large signs that say Snowmobiles Only. NO wheeled vehicles. We still catch people that go past the signs (until they get stuck) and claim they didn't see the sign. If that's an honest mistake then perhaps they shouldnt be driving due to poor vision.
We are starting to even mark some trails closed to tracked Side x Sides and tracked Quads. Causing too many conflicts.
You've gotten a rep for over-explaining things. Don't listen to them -- you're doing great. Love the scenic drive segments.
Totally agree. Explaining stuff helps people learn something ay! Great job Casey.
Zack certainly keep a positive mental attitude, getting down and saying 'I'm gonna make myself a place where I can get comfy and chill. He's pretty good with the camera and narration too. Even somewhere that looks that amazing, doesn't mean it's a safe place to be.
Glad you got them out!
In 1973 we went Horseback hunting on Thanksgiving about 15 miles from Pason Az. We got back to our horse trailer after dark, and so slept in out friends camper. about 2 AM a blizzard swept in, and literally snowed us in. We had to walk our horses out to Pason to call a fiend with a large stock trailer to get us and our horses home. We had to wait till the spring thaw to go back to get our vehicles. II'm 76 years old now, and if we didn't have our horses, we would not have survived.
I wonder how many snowmobiles get stuck on Toyota Trails each winter...?? Well, these guys were lucky they seemed reasonably well equipped to stay in place in comfort, and to get stuck in an area that Casey covers. Some people learn to winter drive in an empty parking lot, some just wing it, and some go for the flying atomic double back flip of the top rope right off the bat. They seemed pretty easy going guys and not much fuss or drama, with lots of enthusiasm. Yup, welcome to Oregon guys. You can tell Casey loves this sort of stuff and has a lot of patience. And probably remembers a time or two from his early years having made similarly enthusiastic though maybe not well thought out decisions just like this. You don't know what you don't know until you are placed in an unavoidable learning situation. Hopefully, you learn from it! Hopefully, they find a local off road club to hook up with to not only help them explore the amazing area they now live in, but also to get some tips and tricks on both driving techniques for the circumstances they may not have any experience with from where they lived previously, and what recovery gear is worth investing in for their new environment. It often really doesn't take much, but you do need to have it. Then again, you wouldn't get to meet Casey and see his cool toys at work!
I have to say you live in the most beautiful part of the country and you are very patient with some people that otherwise you shouldn't if it posted that no wheeled vehicles allowed and they do what ever they want anyway I'm not going there as usual you did a awesome job I'm still so impressed with that jeep best decision ever. Casey I now you hear this alot but your a hero for what you do. God bless you and as always be safe 👍
How could you be mad if someone gave you the opportunity to enjoy wheeling in such a great place?
The scenery shots are just beautiful. Your positive attitude and humor keep me interested in your channel. How is John's van progressing?
Ditto 👍
Love the scenery down there! I’m from the pac northwest too
Well, the Hawaiian did it right for his first snow experience! He picked one of the most beautiful snowy areas to experience! Much better than Minnesota where I currently live as the snow is not this powdery, but icy.
And up here north of Duluth, one hell of a lot colder.
Except for reading the signs saying the road is closed
Rain over the weekend should make it icier.
@@jamesmccormick2696 In Germany every single gravel road is "closed" with a sign saying "farming vehicles only", but i guess since I've got a shovel on top of my truck and im digging around mudholes I'm kind of a farmer myself! :D
I think too many "unnecessary" signs cause people to ignore them.
I like that there seam to be many roads in the cascade mountains without a closed sign. So they could have chosen another one to get stuck, but the view is so nice! For me even if I'd have to pay a fine and the towing, still would worth it! (I guess I might be young and dump as well...)
(By the way I was once heavily stuck in the Turkish mountains. There were no signs! I had no anchor for the winch and there was no possible way around me. Even with the very capable rig of a local. So they had to bring a truck with a little crane in the back and kept my truck upright while pulling me with a winch. I had to pay them my self but it was worth every single penny! I was out there hiking. I've seen wild bears and slept the night on the top of the mountain. I'll never forget those 3 days in my lifetime!)
@@carverevolition1 we don't have any gratuitous "highway closed for winter; snowmobiles only" signs
I live in this area, and it's very clear that this road is closed
Wow that is completely nuts. Pays to pay attention to signs. And snow can kill.
Might want to hire Zack as your camera man. He also has good commentary, not to mention plugging the Badlands Winch.
Hey Casey, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I live in eastern Canada, where there's no shortage of snow.. , I found your channel inspired by MORR after a few of your guest appearances on his channel. I love your videos and content.
I just had a thought... I think it would be cool idea for you to fab some lightweight ski plates with with weld-on tie-down loops and small ratchet straps to secure them to wheels on vehicles that are stuck in snow. Its less drag to ride on top of the snow as opposed to being dragged through it. Its much like snow shoes for vehicles, this would be ideal for recovering vehicles that don't run or wheels that don't turn.
The skis would ride in the ruts of your track jeep, no drag / no friction/ weight would be displaced, I would venture to guess that you could tow a rig in this manner, that is even heavier than your jeep, with a tow bar you wouldn't even need someone in the other vehicle. . I love to see you do an experiment with this in mind and test this theory, It would make for a great video. I did someone like this in the past and it worked.
That's a cool idea! But the vast majority of snow recoveries are working vehicles that have gone just beyond what they can handle.
What would keep the towed vehicle from sliding sideways off a crowned trail? Sometimes a little friction is good, and working wheels tend to only roll front and back, not sideways. :-)
That’s a cool idea!
@@GeekinTX What trail? There is no trail with 2 or 3 feet of snow on the ground. The proof of concept already works, as stated... I've did it myself . There are plenty of what if scenarios and a guy could talk himself out of trying anything.
Any vehicle being towed by a tracked vehicle in powered or sticky snow would quite easily follow along in the ruts created by the tracked vehicle. You obviously missed the part where I made a request to Casey to test / experiment with the idea.
Sounds like a good idea but there is one problem, what are you going to use for brakes?
Appreciate the update on the scraper you put on the hub. Seems to be working perfectly.
Closing in on 75k subscribers you're going to hit 100k soon.
Best customer video commentary
It's great to watch some of your old videos from last year, what an adventure you are on every day. You kinda know what the issue is before you get there, but each rescue has its own set of challenges. I liked the 'Zack Cam' with his own comments. So cool to watch, thank you Casey for taking us along.
Casey!
You are the nicest person from Oregon, (that I never got to meet).
My wife and I spent a year as a National Forest Service Host, (just South of Florence), for a year.
I kept seeing these posters saying “You are in Oregon, be nice”, but after the the first couple of weeks, I was wondering if the locals ever read this!
We were living full time in an RV, and have been traveling on the road, for more than 6 years, and this was indisputably the worst experience of our travels.
I haven’t had a nice thing to say about your state, until I started watching your channel. Thank you for giving me a different view.
PS…I also REALLY like what you do!
👍👍❤️
Love the channel Casey. It's amazing how far they made it. I have seen it a lot where people that are lost make it into some very sketchy places.
that is just so wonderful how you guys care. God bless you and keep you during these kind and wonderful rescues.
Those tracks were One of the best purchases you ever made. Great video 😎😎😎
I'm from Norway, and I've never seen a truck with tracks like that before. (Probably because it is pretty much illegal to drive off-road here). But it looks very cool.
Also I'm impressed of how far into trouble these guys made it. Tourists gets killed in our mountains every year, I guess respecting snow and cold is something that has to be learned one way or the other.
Yeah...
I wonder if this is a yearly snow level or a once in a decade kind of level?
If it's a yearly thing I've never lived anywhere in Norway with that kind of snow levels showing up reliably.
But most places I've lived has this kind of snow level about once a decade I'd say.
I know that there's places in our mountains that can get *way* higher snow levels.
I think that the record on one mountain pass was 8 meters just before opening time in the spring when they're clearing the road to prepare it for opening.
@@Luredreier The Cascade mountains always get a lot of snow, the ski area nearest me got 29 meters in 1999
I wonder what it's like to be european and have everything that's cool and fun be illegal...
@@theecstatic9686 - well, dragging peoples cars out of the snowy mountains is not really a thing at least. Also most things are just regulated, not illegal.
@@ie8443 100+ feet of snow is impressive.👍
Love how you are honest and how you treat your customers, I watch a lot of the off road recoveries and recoveries. Keep up the awesome work, stay true to who you are.
Great recovery Casey, man you can tell that guy never drove in snow before, it can get you into trouble before you know it
plus he's not the faster learner either!
That's one hell of a cool tracked Jeep, good job Casey !
Casey, you do wonderful work of helping others in their time of need. You always have a positive outlook when it could be difficult to do so.
So beautiful there! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Nice rescue, they must have been VERY glad to see you Casey!
The scenery is beautiful. What a great office.
Hi Casey .
Great video and looking forward to the recovery of that vehicle the two boys who where stuck for ten days.
Another great find on CZcams. Everything about this vid was great. Amazing that the two friends made it as far as they did, given the fact of where they came from and lack of experience. Glad that this had a happy ending and everyone was safe ... bad-ass setup on the Jeep too.
2nd gen 4runner still going gotta love Toyota.
Great guys , lesson learned glad they were prepared
Wow, certainly looks different in the winter up there! Really impressive that they made it that far, but I’m sure the snow mobiles weren’t too happy about the deep ruts 😅
You are a delightful person. I enjoy watching you and grumpy rescuing people stranded in the snow!
Your fun to watch Casey, you have a kind heart. My wife and I spent have many summers on Cascade Lakes Hwy with our 3 kids. Mostly at Big & Little Cultas, Elk Lake, N. & S. Twin. We now have retired and live in Cody Wyoming so we can frequent Yellowstone. Bless You Casey, we love your channel.
Thanks Casey. Can't wait to see the video about the people pulled out by the coast guard
You can hear the difference in the sound of your tracks after you tighten them. Great video
Thanks for being a Rescuer... Happy New Year!!
Another great rescue Casey. They’re lucky that the road they were on has people on snowmobile passing by. Called for help. Your Jeep is Bad Azz and sounds killer. Love to see you stopping by to Matt’s off road recovery and see how he pulls vehicles is rocky , steep conditions. Two different types of recovery where he lives snd where you live.
Makes you wonder if Matt lived where you are , how his recovery vehicle would be set up. Like yours with tracks??. Great video! 🤙😎
awesome rescue Casey! And more fresh snow! So glad you will be the pro getting that other stranded rig out. Looking forward to that rescue. Keep up the awesome videos!
great video Zack was a great cameraman
Hey Casey, thanks for going over the rear winch mount I was one of the ones asking. I'm making rock sliders for my ZJ and I was looking into the benefits of mounting a receiver in them to pull from the side...
What an Amazing Adventure they live to tell about. At least the other friends made it out alive. I enjoy your music and keep us in the know. Glad everyone is safe. Many Blessings. Peace Out
We just had a similar snow storm in Flagstaff Az. Lots of folks out having a good time in the snow. Plenty of opportunities to get stuck. Great family fun with the potential to learn about snow recoveries. Lol 🤪
Nice content, good hearted fun.
Watching 👀 from Prescott AZ.
It snowed 5 feet in Arizona?That's not good.
@@katedaphne4495 it’s true that Flagstaff Az has had a good snow fall season. The ski lodge is doing well as a result. But more importantly, the increased snow fall will help many parts of Az recover from draught like conditions.
@@stephenshort839 I actually have a home in Glendale Az. But I go to Flagstaff quite a bit to hang out and have some fun. I’ve got a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I’m modifying for a bit more off road capability. I help people recover when I can. Most of the time it’s folks in passenger cars that don’t know much about driving in snow and have all season tires. Or they go down some of the forest roads and get high centered. I enjoy being outdoors and helping others when I can.
I have a 97 Isuzu Rodeo 5spd with 4x4 (with 4 Low)-- that can go anywhere and people were always shocked seeing the places that I could get with it. All the offroading I've done with it, nothing ever broke. NO driveshaft of axle shaft-- nothing. Finally at 290k miles, it needs the timing belt redone-- but otherwise, it will be ready to go on the trails again soon.
I wish we had some of that snow here in Southeast Colorado! Good job getting them out!
wow thanks for showing me/ us how you adjust your tracks. that easier than i thought it would be. thanks
Sounds like that other recovery is going to be a doozy! Looking forward to it! cheers
This video reminds me of spending time with my father off roading. Great times I will cherish forever. RIP Dad
In my state it's illegal to drive a motor vehicle on a road closed in the winter for snowmobile use. If you get caught you'll get a ticket and have to pay a fine. It's to keep idiots like this from tearing up the trails.
Hopefully they got their ticket when the sheriff visited. On a side note, why does it seem like the biggest idiots are always driving Toyotas?
These guys were total clowns thrashing the trails
More power to ya Casey love all your recoveries
Awesome video. BEAUTIFUL scenery Casey. I loved living in Washington state for this beauty. Thanks for all your videos.
Casey: "Track jeep really sucks down the gas"
Also Casey: WOOOOOOOOMMMMMPPPPPPP
It's okay, fuel is cheap...
The cheapest haha
Hello Casey. You make it look super easy! Great job and happy 2023. Question: What make are the tracks?
Heck ya, great snow recovery Casey!
I was up in the mountains again today, this time running Tire Chains on all four in deep snow and rutted trails. Totally unbelievable traction. AND ... had my first chance to pull some folks out who were stuck!
Hard Shackles, soft shackles and a 30 ft by 3 inch wide strap ... no need for my winch today.
Watching all these videos of Casey and Matt finally paid off!
Lol, from Hawaii and no experience driving in snow!!! The perfect storm !! They are very lucky you were around to latterly save their lives. Another great job Casey !!!
You were good to them, rescues gotta try your patience. Young ones Just have to learn, you can't go ahead and do something cause you feel like it, it could've cost them a lot more!
Always an adventure with your recoveries!! Great video!
I'm so glad you were at the WRECKER games, because I started watching you and am now subscribed and your channel is now in my top 3 behind Trail Mater and Fab Rats KEEP UP THE GREAT RECVOVERIES and be safe
I cannot believe that they got so far, incredible! So was your recovery.
😂🤣😂 ...and i thought you were in Utah with Matt. 20 minutes later you’re back home inOregon .
I have a supersonic jet
Exactly my thoughts. You literally took the words out of my mouth...
@@CaseyLaDelle "So I had a CALL".....🤠
@@CaseyLaDelle Subs must really be adding up. LOL
Gotta tell ya.......that drive out there is breathtaking!! I can see why someone would want to head out there for the view!
Thank you for the video, very interesting. I have to add that you're a very good and really kind person and willing to help... it's quite rare nowadays, that means we can hope. God bless you.
Zack is a natural. Even getting in the product placement on the badlands winch. :)
You're right he is. Modern cameras help a lot, but good eys & hands really matter & he has both.
It’s a good thing they got stuck where people were actually around to see them and they got help.
As for the signs, there really should be great big ones with flashing lights that run off solar. Those little signs blend in with the surroundings. White sign on white snow backdrop does not stand out. I can see why people from not that area could drive right past them.
I’m retired now but my background experience is in message design and I’ve designed a lot of signs in my day.
Nice traveling music to go with that scenery...
Considering how he was driving out, hard to believe he made it in! Glad to see they prepared a bit. Thanx for the grins !
love the jeep seeing it on the snow with tracks!
Hire that kid as your camera guy. 👍🏻
Casey's snow driving and trail etiquette classes coming soon? Thanks for another awesome video and I'll be looking for one of your "custom" Yankum ropes soon ;)
yankum.com?afmc=CHR
PERFECT MUSIC..
The Whistling while driving through the snow...Spot On
Wooeee. Love the video of your track whistling by.
Looks like the Winter sign needs to be bigger and the writing visible! Another job well done Casey. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸
So I take it since your tracks always needs a 9/16ths so I'm assuming you have issues with 9/16ths instead of 10MM?
Job security. Thanks for the ride Casey 👍👍
Love your content and delivery. I live in Spain from Scotland. Keep up the excellent work.
When you say to someone "don't give it gas" In reality, you need to remove their right foot at the ankle.
Great video,and refresher tour on Mt Bachlor
Kudos to the 2 rescued, I am amazed they got that far given how deep the snow is.
Love that tracked jeep. And it sounds AWESOME!!
That's a beautiful drive in the summer time, one of my favorites. Great place to backpack also. And don't forget your canoe. 🙂
We are blessed to live here.
We get snow like that in Northern Ontario Canada. We also get people who drive on the snowmobile trails. I'm surprised that they even made it that far in. Another thing is that people may have 33 inch tires but what they don't realize when they get stuck it's because they get hung up by the differentials.
Have driven this road many times during it's open season, but never in the winter. I was always curious to see what it looked like in the dead of winter. Thanks for satisfying that curiosity
I would totally love to be a passenger when you do your rescues. Looks so much fun! Great channel!
Those tracks are amazing!!!
What a beautiful part of the country! I'd definitely put the 4x4 away for the winter and buy a snowmobile if I lived up there. Seeing the stop signs almost buried really shows how deep that snow is, no wonder it's there till the end of the spring.
Good thing you got him out it didn't sound like his transmission was going to last much longer.
I always enjoy your videos Casey the track Jeep would definitely be fun to drive and play in. Keep up the great work
Love your comment “I have the best job ever”. So true!
Great job Casey,very patient man well done
Beautiful scenery.
