Deceiving snow traps tourists

  • The snow here has been very deceiving with all the warm weather we’ve had. The ice layer on top is hard as a rock and makes it seem not very deep, but once you break through you are stranded. This couple was out doing some exploring while on vacation in the area and got trapped by the tricky snow in their Ford Excursion. So Alex and I took the track @Jeep up to see if we could get them pulled out. I used the @YankumRopes to get them pulled back to the pavement,
    but rolled their tire off the bead in the process. Luckily they had a good spare and we were able to get it changed pretty quickly.

    Alex was talking about a clapper board. It was used to sync the audio (the clap part) and had scene and take info on it for the editors.
    Dad was a Sound Engineer. I spent many nights in the local TV studio audio booth for evening news.

    I'll confess that I first thought "why would anybody try to drive to Scout Lake in the winter" but then realized, after seeing the road conditions out your windshield, that it might not seem all that crazy an idea, given the weird snow conditions we've been seeing here in Central Orygun this year. Nicely done, Casey, and here's hoping I don't end up making an unfortunate decision that results in me being in one of your fantastic videos....
    ...and I loved the reaction of the Excursion Guy when you told him "No Charge". The reactions in those moments of your rescue videos are Pure Gold....

He was probably just as surprised to you as you were to see him. Don't worry, i'm pretty sure he planed his trip trough.

      Did he explain why he was out there in the middle of the night or where he went after Casey saw him?

    Okay, I just watched RC car guy video and now I’m gonna lay here and wonder what happened to him and why was he driving an RC car down the road in the middle of the night? Thanks, Casey.

    I think it's a really great thing you do to help people out that are stuck. Keep up the good work. Love that ZJ Jeep. On your Jeep I see the grab handles by the windshield. Is that a bracket you made with the grab handles or did you buy that??

    @Casey - Suggestion - Please add another 5-10 seconds of silence time when on screen links are provided so there's is ample time to pause/click/open in new tab if/when multiple are provided. It would be greatly appreciated by those like me who use Queue/Autoplay, which in this case required backing up and skipping to end 3x's because the links were visible so briefly and an electronics/smart TV/wireless mouse expert I am not.😂 & Thanks for another great vid, you're my daily therapy since I can not get away from town every day on my own.....the additional few seconds will assure I don't lose the benefits of the stress relief you had just provided.🤣😎 Peace Out✌from Albany.

      Or if the links were also put in the Description area so they could be used that way, which is a method other channels often do.
