We went over the Cascade Mountains into western Oregon to find a classic International Scout 2 to bring back to the 406 Garage collection. We knew we would hit a bit of bad weather, but the snow had come down hard overnight and the snowplows were working hard to keep the roads cleared. We made it across just fine in the 4x4 sneaker truck, but chained up on the way back so that we didn't have any accidents
Life protips in this one: always take time to play with a dog (or any animal) and there's no age limit on putting chips on your sandwich!
When we become adults fries on burgers is also a must 🤣
Going over the mountain during a snow storm seems perfectly logical when there's a good chance of snagging a Scout! "He who snoozes loses"!
Agree to the chips on the sandwich, makes it that much better!
Ben makes a great camera person keep the adventures coming
Yes I agree 👍💯
Enjoyed Lucy at home, sweet pup.
another tip, rice krispies and chocolate milk is the best cereal ever and your don't have to add sugar!
You know, that could make a great seasonal gig for two people: The first person sells tire chains going uphill and the second one buys the chains at the bottom on the other side.
Love your adventures
Thank you!
I used to drive a 18 wheeler out west. I can't count the number of times I have seen 4x4s in the ditch, just because they have 4 wheel drive they thought they could drive like they were on dry pavement.
I've put in 22yrs pulling a Reefer OTR and live in the Puget sound area, I know what you mean about the 4x4 mentality, Yup, they can go anywhere alright....
right into the ditch with the rest of the DumbA$$es.......as I drove past them in my RWD pickup......................
@@RiverRatWA57 Same sentiment here... When I was contemplating on which truck to buy for my first vehicle, my Dad's comment guided that decision, "getting 4wd will not only give you 2 more wheels to put your ass in the ditch, it'll give you a helluva lot of extra cost & maintenance if you're not consistently using the extra drive." As I'm not consistently needing that extra umph, my 2wd trucks have served me well over the years.
I put Studded snow tires on our PontiacVibe so my daughter can deliver the Rural Mail. she today, advised the 4x4 Jeep carriers about a steep hill coated an inch of ICE.... the other girl's reply?? "Oh, I have 4 wheel drive, no Problem. " ... ... ... Guess who delivered the whole route in half the time of the Jeep driver? yep, my daughter. Front Wheel Drive with Studded Snow Tires beats a 4x4 with street tires every day.
Thank you for taking us along for another adventure, Casey.
That Was Cool & A Nice Scout, & I Saw Some Chains Like Them Years Ago & Maybe They Were on A Big Lader ? BUT I'M Going To Try To Find Them, Because They Make Sense The Way There Made 👍👍👍👍👍
Fritos and peanut butter sandwich!! 😊 Potato chips on grilled cheese!!😊 Now, I'm hungry! 😂😂👵🇺🇸
Keep those adventures coming!
I love your adventures. With nominal safety in mind. Sense of adventure.
A friend of mine had a Scout II back in the early '70's. That was before they coined the term Sport Utility Vehicle, and that class of vehicle stressed the "Utility." It's a shame they don't make them like that anymore.
I love the winter weather shots. Can’t wait to see some rescues. I really need to get me an old scout.
Adventures are always a joy!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with chips on your sandwich beautiful scenery
You guys making an adventure all the time keep doing it
I lived in Portland in the mid-nineties, spent lots of time playing in the "Cascade Cement" on and around Mt. Hood. Oregon Is a wonderful state! Still miss it.
Lol you make putting chains on look easy
We got 5 inches of snow yesterday.. the dry powdery crap so when the 40 mph wind came up last night it blew all over the roads.. have had 7 recoveries this morning already.. one was a competitors flatdeck that slid off headed to a call..
Love playing with the dog!!!
I really like the Oregon site seeing trips. I live in the mountains of central N.M.. We are in extreme drought, 4in. precip for the year to date should be 10in..
This looks a hell of a lot more enjoyable than running your ass off doing AAA calls in Southern California with an average day of 10-12 tows in a 12 hour day.
good stuff your worest auido Casey , A must fix,
Fritos are also good on sandwiches as well. Love it !!!
Love your Crazy Adventures. I'm watching from NC wishing for snow so loving your snow adventures even at 12:30 am when I can't sleep!!!
yes i love seeing you both picking up old rigs rain or shine i live in southern oregon and im impressed
Yes! Go do more snow adventures! "Do as we say, not as we do..." 😂 I want more info on the sandwiches...what kind of sandwich? What kind of chips? I'd totally try that...😊
I hate going over that mountain even in the summer Always so much traffic ..more power to you. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Sometimes run up The Gorge,turn south at The Dalles
Or Biggs ....
You never disappoint I loved how you was to the point on the call you got at the end and please more snow recovery or as you would call it trips over the mountains and as always be safe 👍
Always love adventures with you and Ben. Entertaining and hilarious.
I agree Casey, No sandwiche is complete without chips.😂
Dammit! I had a 1980 Scout II with the Terra top, and I cut it up because it was eaten up by salt and I couldn't find anyone to take the parts so I scrapped all but the drivetrain. Now I want another one. 😭
I've got your back on the "chip sandwich" 👍👍 only way to go
I vote for A LOT more snow adventures! But really, I think anything Casey gets into he's capable of of getting out of it! Driving a big rig for 5 years I only had to throw chains one time at a receiver in Oregon. I either drove ahead of the storm or behind it. I hated throwing chains!
I'm Aussie, I spotted the Celsius temp 18 is fine!
Nice trip here is a tip some handsanitizer will remove those permanent marker arrows for you
My only experience of a Scout II SWB was going through a river in Cornwall UK without a roof on it and having to hold my wallet up high as the water came in over the sides, great fun, not my car and I wasn't driving the owner was.
Yes I like these adventures and ben is a good guy to take along, although it is for him 👍
I want to tell you I watch you because you are in Oregon my home state from Tigard
OK I like the JACK KNIFE theory... Different chains than we use in Wisconsin...
Yes, all means do more boys!!!!
Well worth the trip for that scout.
Need more Ben & you 😁🙂
Yes
Like the "fast--mo" on the highway going around the mountain curves...reminds me of the old arcade game "pole position" the alpine snow stage. More please of adventures in the snow going places with questionable life choices ( but better equipment than the standard motorist who goes too fast with equipment that belongs only on city streets). oh yeah! Ben is a great sidekick and color commentator!
Yes, you and Ben together! Buy, safely! 😂😂👵🇺🇸
It's my dream to do off-road recovery, I'm working with a 98 b4000 with a lift and 31s on it right now, but plan on upgrading once I can. I seriously love watching your videos! I get more inspired every time. This stuff is my passion.
Keep it up guys.
Yes! Thanks.
My Dad never thot of using a block to chain up. He'd lay both sets of chains out in front of the wheels, drive over them & hook 'em up. I don't know if that's any better, but it didn't take too long when you got used to it... Stupid snow adventures are entertaining, but don't kill yourselves on our account. "Do as i say, not what i do..." 🤣
That looks like a fairly well maintained scout. It has lots of adventure left in it. Take care and be safe out there.
Yes and french fries on your burger!
I dragged my Jeep home a few weeks ago on my trailer in a snow/ice storm. I'm used to driving in snow and my truck has good tires but I won't be doing that again! Every corner the trailer was pushing the truck sideways. And I built the trailer with surge brakes ... yeah. All that would happen is the trailer would just push the truck through the intersections. Few hills I didn't think I was getting up either. No fun there.
If anyone ever told me that I'd be in a situation where the ol triton 5.4 would be able to break traction in 4 HI while towing I'd say they were nuts. But it happened.
I was coming back from Minnesota and going to southeastern Idaho , pulling a 25' Lance camp trailer with my 2500 Dodge Cummins 4x4 in a snowstorm. I only had one time that the truck slid sideways on a narrow 2 lane road. That definitely got my attention. No problems for the rest of the trip. Well, other than getting a speeding ticket in Rapid city. (I did not notice the reduction in speed sign.)
I have electric trailer brakes, and they worked very well on this trip.
One other thing, my GPS wanted me to turn left and go on a two lane road at the base of the Rockys in a snow storm. Ah------NO!! It was shorter in miles, but not time. Still NO!! People need to still have a map if they don't know the area that they are going to or through.
That is a very nice PNW Scout I am excited to hear what happens to this bad boy.
Chips good
You guys should see the snow up here in British Columbia Canada we can't even see the pavement anymore until spring unless we go into any of the major towns around us as we live in a rural area
Lol works for me entertainment wise
Good morning.
I am a new subscriber from northern Sweden.
I guess you use studded winter tires.
Looks like a really cool Scout!! NOTE: When you see truckers stopped along side the road putting on chains... you shouldn't be driving! LOL!!!
In the trucking industry we would call the driver of the penske truck a steering wheel holder
Fries in a sandwich is a ‘chip butty’ here in the UK, fine dining for any road warrior. The two of you out on adventures is twice as good. Stay safe.
I had no idea there was that cool off a tire set up option nor did I know about those self winding straps..! 👌🏼
Love the music
Hey you designed the best idea for your rear lift, why not arrange to put brakes on dolly axles with adjustable resistors for different loaf weights.
Because you actually have to be able to lift the dollies up and put them in the back of the truck
Did I understand Ben to say you're 6'4"? You don't seem that tall on camera. Does the camera take off inches? 🙂 Thanks for the videos. I subscribed a few days ago, and now I'm going back through, watching older videos I've missed. Thanks for all your efforts.
I am indeed 6’4”
yes do it
Buy More Scouts!
been putting chips on sandwiches for 50 years ,,,lol.
Have used that type of chain many times. Worked great. Always carried extra bungee cords with me. You are limited to 25mph with them. I do recommend you inspect them regularly as some of the links will open up. A pair of visegrips and you can tighten the links. I picked mine up from Les Schwab Tire Stores.
cool trip Casey! My question would be, when you crawled in the side window to get the lift blocks...why didn't you just extend the hitch to get the Scout away from the doors? lol
I think it’s cool to put chips on a sandwich. I almost always put chips or french fries on (or even in) my burgers! Delicioso!
You need a opening statement like vice gtip garage lol
It would be be nice to know what hiways you are on when driving.
Thanks
For gods sake feel the hubs already 😎
More snow, more snow towing.
I like the music in this vid. That, people, is an opinion. Mine.
yay another Casey and Ben video! 3:49 ALWAYS have time to pet and play fetch with any dog anywhere! 12:50 any Casey/Ben adventures are worth watching!
Being from the south we live vicariously through people like y'all so every snow adventure possible
That Scout is beautiful. I have an RC version. Lol. Obviously nowhere near as cool as the real one. Still cool tho. Also. The tracked flatbed sounds like an AWESOME IDEA! Lmao.
I get the feeling you don't have winter tires.... Nokian studded FTW every time if you live in snow country FYI
I do have winter tires. There are no studded tires on the market in the weight ratings and size I need.
Thank for posting all of ur adventures! Love watching and I love the scenery
I've been putting chips on my sandwiches since I had teeth. My mother did it before I was born. I'm almost 57.
Eating Subway while I'm watching you eat Subway.
It's been a very cool thing to see the rise of interest in the IH Scout & Scout II.
All of them were made right here in Ft Wayne, IN and the Dana axles (Spicer) are still made here. About a mile from my back door, roughly. (If this house HAD a back door)
The list of bullshit that doomed that truck is longer than a CVS receipt!
Ft Wayne now builds GM pickups. Factory's too young to move. For once. (See: GE)
chips in sandwich! lol
Catching up on your old videos. Was helping a friend's high school aged son and he mentioned that one of his friends is restoring an old international and he had just gone done to get parts in Oregon. And from watching your earlier videos, I said oh...406 garage, and he was like...yep. How did you know?
nice to see scouts in the wild. i am very lucky to work on them every day. looking foward to watching more of your videos
Second Amendment chain removal, I like it.
Yes to more snow adventures! You know all about snow driving - the most demanding enviroment? Downhill on ice.
Hey Casey love watching your videos driving in the snow with your friend, seen you playing with a German shepherd . Was wondering if you know anyone who would want two German shepherds free all they have to do is come get them.
Casey gets an award for the subway sandwich making! He's correct, there's is no other way to make a sandwich. The satisfying crunch of the chips and the facility flavor of the meat and whatever condiments of choice, it's magic.
You not right in the head casey when it comes to food lol
I still put chips on my sammich sometimes..
Does Oregon not require warning lights on tow trucks?
Do you run chains on the front wheels if you need better steering control?
Yep
Let’s do it lol
