The biggest screw-up was by ODOT not just getting a dozer or other type of snow plow on that road to plow it open, BEFORE they called for a fuel delivery.

Wrong. ODOT ordered the propane to be delivered beginning of September, just like they do every year. Then when it still hadn’t happened by the end of September, they upgraded it to an emergency order. The propane company still decided to wait until December to send a truck up.

​@@CaseyLaDelle Well that's interesting to hear because I noticed that that truck was in America's truck I have a better dress here in Kentucky. It took me a month and a 1/2 and truly threatening with legal action because it's not others disabled they were expecting immensely bad weather. This is very common with America as now and it's because they have sent all of their call centers overseas you can't speak to anyone that speaks American as A first language. They will not but you do care manager they lose your orders they don't care...

You got that right, I run a 12M grader for a county road dept and that's what I do with a v-plow . And if someone gets stuck I'm the one that gets them out .

I was so glad to hear that Casey is trying those. I have been trying to get someone doing off-road recovery and snow and whatnot and ice to use those to try them out so I'm glad he's open-minded enough to do that!!! They would save so many people's cars and lives that's why he knows especially in those huge pilots on the highways like 3,200 cars in a pile up. Much of that could be prevented because so many more people we have control over vehicles. They could either slow down or avoid the problem altogether!!

The art of winching is not understood by many today . Casey is truly an artist when it comes to winch recovery. It amazes me at the lack of information customers want to withhold when they send you on a recovery and try to play you for a fool also. Someone always spills the beans and the truth comes out .

Too many KZreadrs try to be politicians and say whatever they think will make everyone happy. I’m not a politician.

This looks like a job for Matt and his new massive off road recover truck. That was a big cookie you took a bite out of.

You use encouraging words like "Perfect!" when helping out folks that are already pretty stressed about the situation that they are in. You are a good soul.

There's one thing I like about your videos. They're always different. Different areas and different situations. And you always get the job done. Great job be careful.

Great recovery Casey. 40 years ago my husband and I lived in John Day. I always dreaded the road through the Ochoco’s in the winter. Slid off the road a bit one night headed back from Bend. Put on chains and made it out but somehow lost one chain. My friend and I pulled into Mitchell and used a pay phone to let our families know we would be late.

Holy crap Casey they got themselves in a pickle here. After making several bad decisions and leaving the light on you now had a massive slug to get the ODOT truck around. Your creative rigging and keeping people save is topnotch. Seriously mad respect Casey! On to part 2!

You ARE good at this! “Winch Master”👍😎 Nice recovery! Keep up the great work and stay safe out there!❤️🙏

Being at the scene of a pull out or service call is much different than seeing it on a video. Tow operators must take the best approach to prevent any damages, injuries first off. How people/customers interpret instructions is another worry as I have been their myself many, many times and rarely do folks do what's asked of them properly.. I think Casey did a great job all things considered. When I too was still in the business I handled all service calls on my own, all while being disabled on top of it because I love helping people out and being paid for it too!

It always amazes me what they don't tell you when calling for a recovery. I had one last week that they called for a light recovery and neglected to tell me it was loaded with 9k pounds of batteries.

Being from Texas I never realized how technical these snow recoveries can get.

Snow is horrible to recover from. It changes throughout the day. In the morning it’s nice and frozen and you can move easier. Mid day to afternoon it gets slushy and make everything 10 times harder. It’s an ever changing target.

Great use of judgement to determine what you are and are not capable of accomplishing! That’s how you stay out of trouble. I had and still have to learn the hard way!

Your daughters (&Scooby!) are adorable. I hope they can come on more rescues w/ you!

Casey you're the man to deal with all the "Pain in the Gas" types. Pun intended. Cheers, Mate.

Reminds me of the early 80’s when I was in Tank Transporting unit in the British Army in Germany. Truly didn’t understand why they would teach us all the different types of winching, as we were always setup for a straight pull on to the trailer if required. My first winch was a cluster of large proportions and I was thankful of all the great training I had been given before joining my unit. Casey your a master at your profession.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

Casey knows his “sh$t! The man is awesome!

I always love the winching ideas that you come up with. You are a master of witching.

All through the 1990s I piloted a 1980s 1 ton Chevy with a Holmes Commander 1200 on the back and an added on Vulcan wheel lift underneath it. With the right riggings as in snatch blocks and spare cables and chains I was able to do some pretty massive recoveries with this small truck. Some classroom training and a lot of OTJT from some very experienced older guys and a lot of solo stick time. My original teachings were practice in private before preforming in public I think that one line help me be very successful with great recoveries and no additional damages caused. Later on I got spoiled with some pretty stout medium duties but I'll never forget those beginning roots.

Wow amazing. This debrief style video where you explain things is awesome

Much respect for your skills Casey!

I watched the videos totally out of order but they were all incredible! Good job Casey and cameraman and to your friend (who I just subscribed to) for doing an awesome job of recovering those vehicles! Man what a lot of work!

They make this cool machine called a D8 Cat. The propane company needs to be acquainted with one. My boss sent me out 40 years ago to plow 22 miles to get a camper out. turns out there were 3 campers stuck for elk season. Boss made a ton of money just got my daily wages. But, a D8 will get them out easy.

I like the commentary in this video gives me a really good idea of what you were thinking and what your plan is

I always am looking around to other recovery sites but I always end up back here. Love your content.

Wow man. What a job, The follow up videos were great Casey. Keep it up man !!!🎉

They need to pump the propane out of that truck to get it to move. They should fill a 100 gallon tank to go up there to get them going temporarily at least. Absolutely amazing how well you did getting that truck out.

I’m impressed you avoided the temptation to hook up a line to that huge propane supply and blowtorch all the snow within a hundred yard radius. Sure you’d have a muddy, icy mess soon, but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Hopefully helping out the ODOT guys earned you some passes should you accidentally* miss a weigh station or two in the future.
