I had a brother in law drive up a snowmobile groomed trail to go snowshoeing. Solid ice in morning, not so much in afternoon, buried it in up to doors. We got it out next day. That night it snowed 36”. He got lucky.

That's the most common scenario I have to go get people out of. They drove out in the morning and cruised all around no problem because the crust was hard, then when they tried to go home in the afternoon they broke through

My son loves going out in the snow a lot. If and when he sees people and their vehicles stuck he helps them out every time. About a month ago he has up at Snoqualmie enjoying the snow with his 2 dogs. Two different people got stuck so he helped them out. After they left he went to leave but his front end dropped in a hole, broke his drive shift and he was stuck. Just then two guys with with two different trucks came by and pulled him out. Woo-hoo! I believe that when you help others God sends others to help you too. Kindness begets Kindness.

I like that attitude. "There is no bad weather, only bad equipment" The weather is indifferent. It doesn't bear malice, it just is.

Nice when people volunteer their time and effort to help out.

Fantastic collaboration and recovery! Someone needs to get Bud a Yankum rope for his very cool Sno-Cat. Digging the trench, then breaking away the wall is a very wise way to dig out a vehicle without doing any unnecessary damage too. Well done guys!

I’m obsessed with Bud’s SnoCat. That is the coolest machine I’ve seen in a long time🐱!!!

👍 Team work ! Nice job getting the Silverado out of it's ice coffin! It sure is beautiful there. The dead trees , are they dead from a fire? Seems like they all are broke off at about the same height too so maybe a wind storm? Thumbs up to everybody that was involved!

Great job ODot. Luckily you caught them in between storms. I bet that they were happy to bust the equipment out and have some fun.

I love how quiet that snow cat is, I'm used to them being much louder than that, the thing is a beast though.

It’s a clear example of how quickly extreme weather conditions can be become life threatening. Great job guys, I hope this video gets a million views. So informative and such an excellent example of the American Spirit and Team work.

YES BY FAR AN AWESOME GROUP OF PEOPLE!!

This was definitely an interesting recovery. Kudos to all the people that donated their time and labour to get the pickup rescued

Awesome recovery with no damage!😎 That SnoCat is bad to the bone and got the job done!👍 Just catching up with your older videos, love them all! Stay safe out there! ❤️🙏

Man, this is one the of the funniest adventures I have see yet....Thanks for recording this one. I thought Matt's Off Road had some goofy one, you beat Matt this time.

Awsome. Good thing that snow cat was there.

I broke a shovel just like that and bound it with duct tape (temporarily) about 15 years ago… it’s still doing just fine. “No worries about finding the truck, I marked it with a Christmas tree sticking up outa the bed… Oh wait…” Good work guys ❤️🇷🇴👍🏻

Growing up poor we used what was around. Sliding down the hill on car hoods was good times. Use them.for off road recovery strap under each tire n it should slid out easy peasy. The older generation with a more rounded front ends would work best n they are typically smaller than many of the new flat hoods. Keep the vids coming.

Nice job bro. I was stuck that bad before. Lol. A huge storm in the 80s. . I was in front of a farm and he helped me out after the storm. You really saved that guys bacon I'll tell ya. God bless.

Drove one off and on for 20 years. It is hard to beat them for pulling because the power train uses conventional 4X4 technology. I get uneasy doing anything heavy with the fluid drive cats. They have a weakness in powder, though: if you get the front pontoons in powder that comes up more than about halfway across the top it will become a submarine. Not a big deal if you are going along carefully but if you are going flat out (12 mph) it can bury itself and have to be dug out. Guess how I know. On decent snow they have no problem pulling, and if the target is in an area of powder trampling it down with the cat makes the snow decent again.

At first glance it looked as though the truck had fallen through ice. When you took the sno-cat back to your truck I thought you went after a kinetic rope. If that truck had sat around for that long around here in the woods most of what you could see would have been missing and a tunnel dug to the catalytic converter. Some people around here have lost their converters while they were grocery shopping in broad daylight. When you call the cops they show up and write you a report to turn in to your insurance and leave. They don't even bother to investigate to try and find the thief. Back to your recovery, as always thanks for taking us along.

Its wild how clean that truck still looked after coming out of there!

You guys are awesome 👌 Thanks Casey, ✌🏻 Nick? And everyone else. That is a great snow Cat. To all the volunteers out there, THANK YOU!!!. You make the world 🌎 a much better place . 👌✌🏻👋🏼👍♥️ ❄ 🇨🇦 😎.

Casey, you are going to make everyone think that all of Oregon looks like this. (Sunny and covered in snow, not rainy and cloudy.) Nice to see Bud in a video.

In the early 80s, I was a groomer at the ski areas in Tahoe. We used Tucker Sno-Cats. Spent a ton of hours in those old girls, love them to this day. The one job I had in my life that I would pay THEM to do again. Great vid.

Casey... you did notice.. buried hood deep, drug out backwards, spun around and drug out frontwards over a huge bank, and the front bumper is all in one piece! Unlike a certain someones Dodge that wont be mentioned🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yall are awesome ppl.. Humans helping Humans

I'm impressed that the pickup still has all its windows and stra body panels. Where im from the trashy people usually find and smash stuff like this

Nicely done! It's interesting how you were discussing moving from Russia or California and the differences. I moved from Canada to the USA and ended up moving North. Yeah ....... from basically the north shore of Lake Erie to Mid-Michigan ........ it's north, not much but it's north.

that's one lucky guy to have such good people around to help. Good job guys. yes i saw his camping trip footage. was awsome!!!

My Dad always said, "There is no such thing as cold people, just improperly dressed people."

Nice work, guys! Respect to the Tucker and his owner Nick! Rescue operation at daylight is more interested to view, but troubles happens more often at the darkness.

You've just got to love the classic old snow cats!

The first boss I had when I started working at Arizona Public Service related the time he was snow-catting up Mt. Elden, north of Flagstaff. He was cruising up the road in an Imp when a guy came running out yelling, "You ran over my truck!" Sure enough, they looked back and saw the bare roof of the truck in the mound of snow they went over.

Oh Dang, Good to see some of the team out helping. Kevin has always been a great volunteer. good work fellers!

After 2 years Ive only now seen this video. Eric took me on my first rollover recovery as a tow truck driver and I was hooked.

I was soooo excited when I saw the buried truck and Nick aka Bud Nixon and his snowcart were part of the collaboration. Thank you Casey for accepting the challenge! 2.5 hours start to finish is impressive. Looks like only one shovel broke. I was mega worried when I saw you lift that huge piece of frozen snow. Be careful with that hernia! What a great video! Keep em coming!

Beautiful scenery and very informative video 👍🏼🤩👏👏

Greetings from Russia! I like your snow! ;))) You are great guys, good luck to you! I will watch your channel. You can tell everyone that you are being watched from Russia. Lol!

Great Content and Recovery Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Many times while living in Fairbanks a storm would go through but a few days later I would be out in a t-shirt. It was great!

That recovery deserves a KZread Emmy award!

That xmass tree ended up Costing a Lot $$$$$

Now that is a Snow Cat! But that is what you needed to get that truck out of there!

Another awesome ride with you Casey. I laughed when you said there were 13 in your senior class. There was 12 in mine. I spent a lot of my youth in eastern Oregon. We spent a lot of time out in the boondocks around Tollgate, Cove, Summerville (Were my father was raised), and Baker City. As well as the wallowa mountains around Troy. I really love snowmobiling in the backcountry. Video really brought back memories. Until I see in the next one. Cheers

I'm going to keep on praying for you all because you need it for sure 😃😊😃 you are a an amazing man

I saw the video of the Tucker on it's camping event during this snow. The snow was chest deep. Tucker just cruised it Dandahermit

4:31 Snow-Cat to truck: Don't worry, Little Buddy --- help is on the way --- we'll get you out! :D

I could notlive anywhere else. I love it here.

The community spirit in that part of Oregon is amazing. What a great bunch of people. Once again the scenery is just beautiful. Thanks Casey,Ben and your friends.

Absolutely awesome recovery. All of you did an excellent job. It's especially nice to see people come together to help a total stranger. We need more people like all of you in the world.

Finally a video of a real Tucker Sno-Cat made in Oregon. I have seen lots of other videos with machines called sno-cat that are other brands and should not be called by this brand name. Thank you for posting this interesting story.

Oh My Gosh Casey, That Was Incredible!!! So Exciting. So Extremely Nice of Everyone to Volunteer to Help that Man Out. What a Wonderful Jester that is Very Nice to See. ❤️❤️❤️ My Very Best To Everyone, Sincerely, Chris - North Carolina

That guy has him a pretty nice fur hat. Love it!

Like Silverado out of the tomb! Cool (no pun) video. And all that with volunteers!??!! There are some great folks in Oregon!

Glad they got the Christmas Tree out in time for Easter.

Just mesmerized by the difference in floatation between the snocat and the chevy.

People think the same when I say I’m from socal. “How do you like the country”. I’m like “I AM from the country and mountains. Ever heard of Idyllwild”? It’s colder there. My lullaby was the snowplow in the middle of the night.

That Tucker is such a cool old machine! Great recovery, guys! That's some gorgeous country up there, too! 👍👍

Years ago I remember finding a buried Honda Civic on the road between Paulina and East Lakes. We were flying down the road on snowmobiles and had to stop and figure out what was causing the giant lump in the middle of the road. It stayed until spring.

When I start a dig with a bunch of other people I usually break my shovel also. It's a clever trick to get out of shoveling.

love seeing all the awesome people you work with and help out!

Awesome volunteer effort......props to you all for giving your time and equipment to help someone in need!!!

What abeautiful, scenic recovery. That looked a lot of fun.

Mate loved it and I started watching that channel after you called them out in a different vid and no word of a lie it as gorgeous footage on the bud nihon channel

Russians have some of the most insane off-road vehicles, whether its snow, mud or ice they have a vehicle for everything. I have seen some of their tracked vehicles in mud that would swallow a house and they manage it like its nothing. I love watching those Russian mud video's. Great video and that Tucker Sno Cat was awesome.

Just watch for the second time in 11 months and this is still one of your best recoveries!

Awesome recovery and worth being one of your longer videos. But Casey.... you know some people are going go on that repetitive rant of: " Casey , you really should buy yourself a Snowcat" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Russian Sno-Cat guy’s fluffy hat is epic. I wonder why so many of the trees are broken and bare. They don’t look burned. Glad they got the buried truck and its Christmas tree out.

I half expected the SnoCat to drive right over the hood of the pick-up and Christmas 🎄 in the truck bed is just too funny.
