Learning point here. Not only do you have to have the right vehicle but you need to know HOW to use it. 4WD is just throwing the switch, air down the tires, knowing how to drive in deep sand, knowing what your vehicle is capable of, carrying the rights tools such as a tire pump, shovel, jack, recovery boards, etc makes all the difference. When in doubt go practice somewhere that is close to help.
glad you made it out safely, cost is no object in this situation👍 you can use a folded-up camp chair as a traction aid, attach it perpendicular to the stuck tire's line of motion and to secure it with a ratcheting strap. check for any possible interference with anything underside
Well, in the situation I would have needed something under the tires for most of that quarter mile. But I know what I need to have now and will have them soon just in case. Usually I don't go down in roads I'm not so sure about but like I said in the video I was there in April and it didn't look bad at all. And there was a car down there so I figured if they made it, so would we. Little did I know that in April the sand is more packed down due to rain and less travelers
@@danalim9670 I usually take a shovel with me but I forgot. And I'll looked up different traction systems I can get from Amazon, I'll be getting those soon just in case
Enjoyed the video! White Pocket is a fascinating place, and you don’t need a permit to explore it. If you are looking for an incredible place to video or photograph, this is the place. Not sure why you thought your vehicle could make it through the deep sand. I’m always pulling people out of there who don’t know what they are doing.
I thought I could make it because I was there in the spring and it didn't seem bad at all ;we left the truck in the parking and walked), but saw a car down there and thought if they made it, I definitely could. I have a 4 wheel drive truck and that car was a 2 wheel drive. I didn't know then that in the summer it's different. In the spring not many people go there and due to that and the rain, the ground is more packed and easier to drive. By the time June arrived, it's dried up and with many people driving on it, it's now a "fluffy" sand. I didn't know this then. Love and learn. This was an expensive lesson but oh well 😆 I do plan on going back and stay for the whole day to explore. In the spring it was very cold and crazy windy so we didn't stay long.
Actually because of social media postings and incidents such as this BLM is currently proposing fees to go there now. The place is being ruined by the large amount of people that visit the place now.
The main road will take a very long time. I forget how many miles but it could take you hours. Not sure, but that's my guess. If you go in the spring when the ground is more packed, you should be able to drive to the parking lot. It was easy then. In the summer the dirt and sand was all puffed up from being dry and so many people driving on it, it would have been hard for a vehicle that's not 4x4. But April or earlier should be fine
You always have interesting trips luckily you made it home safe that's a good thing. on a different note did you get lucky and draw any premium deer tags this year? well I'm the most unlucky person when drawing tags well atleast I have 8 points now. looks like the same area for bow season again where I saw you with Lesa 2 years ago have a good day.
Well, I'm not very lucky when it comes to hunting but lucky when it comes to drawing tags lol I had 0 points now so first choice I put in for A31, this is an archery zone for D11 (basically same area, down by LA), but it goes from end of September through December 31, which means I can hunt through the rut and thanksgiving break (9 days) and during winter break (2 weeks), I can hunt. And it's either sex!! Worst case I can get a doe and eat meat lol. I got this tag!! There are only 1000 tags for the state and with 0 points I got it lol. For second choice I put in G3, why not, and 3rd choice for D7. I expected to get only D7 lol. For my second tag I got an archery tag again (I'll be doing that every year because this way the hunting season is longer and geographically much larger) I'll be going to A zone again in less than a month
@@Huntress308 I understand that. With a house, we can be improving every quarter. Is your mom ok after that experience? Does she like Cali? It must be nice to be able to have someone to speak Hungarian to each day? Is she making authentic Hungarian meals for you still?
@@tiablasangoriti8347 yes, she's fine. I don't think she would have liked the rest of the trip, it would have been too much hiking for her. And it was hotter than I expected. Last year it wasn't this hot. She's been to California several times but it was when I lived in San Diego. So this is different. And yes, all she does is cooks lol.
I disagree with that. It could be just 80 degrees and the sand and ground could still be hot. I put boots in her to protect her feet for just in case. And I enjoy hiking in the heat, I'm prepared for it and do it so I can hunt in July in the 90-100 degree heat and be comfortable.
I don't do off roading so I never got those kind of tires. And I don't plan on lol. This road seemed perfectly fine in April so I didn't think I'd have a problem
Well, I haven't died yet 😆 and never even come close to I never ran out of water, food or energy. I'm extremely careful. I know lots of people have died hiking in hot weather, sometimes not even in that much heat and I don't get it. I carry a lot of water, most of it frozen so it stays cold. I'm prepared because I do understand the risks

The biggest learning point is not to drive past the sign warning of deep sand.
Thanks for sharing. God bless you!
Thank you ❤️
Köszönöm a gyönyörű, kalandos videót, nagyon felemelő volt nézni és még kalandos is volt :) Imádtam a kutyus cipőit is :)
Nagyon szívesen! Köszönjük a látogatást és a hozzászólást 😊
I’m happy you got out and are safe!
Thank you!

@@Huntress308 I learned my lesson too, so now I have dollar store shovel and a 2"x8" with some bolts screwed in as a traction board😸
@@danalim9670 I usually take a shovel with me but I forgot. And I'll looked up different traction systems I can get from Amazon, I'll be getting those soon just in case
@@Huntress308 I was thinking maybe it's time to put a cargo rack and a tent on that truck
It was expensive, but at least you and your loved ones made it back home safely. I would have paid the cost no matter what. Family first.
Yes! I really had no choice lol, it was either that or slowly dying out there
@@Huntress308
Lol Don't do that. We like seeing your pretty teeth.

Wow!
How long will it take me to walk to the white pocket from the main road?
It’s about 10-13miles?

@@gunit5178 I hope so, too! Finally, maybe, finally a deer lol
Nice to see you back online again.
How did the remodeling go?
Thank you! It wasn't really a remodel just a whole lot of fixing and I'm kind of done now but work never ends around here

If it’s hot enough that you need to put boots on your dog, it’s too hot to be hiking!

Probably would made it if let half air out tires like supposed to
Maybe lol. If I did it in the very beginning. Live and learn lol
@@Huntress308 better tires also you have straight street tires
I don't do off roading so I never got those kind of tires. And I don't plan on lol.
This road seemed perfectly fine in April so I didn't think I'd have a problem
@@Huntress308 not crazy tires just something little more better but glad you got help and got out
You should not be hiking 100° temps with your dog 😡 People have died that way.
