    We had a bunch of fun getting stuck in the snow, did you enjoy watching the carnage?! What's the number one thing we could've done differently?

      Oh ya airing down right away for sure. Oh and lockers would have made a huge difference.

      I'd say airing down ahead of time was the number one thing you could have done differently for that trip, but I'd also say having front and rear lockers was the number one piece of missing equipment, for sure. I've used both of mine on many occasions. They are game changers, no question about it.

      @@VideosOffRoad you are 100% right! Airing down first would have helped a ton. And with lockers, we probably could have drove out of this

    Great episode. I *hate* warm slushy rotten snow. It does not behave like normal cold snow. It is my least favorite thing to encounter on the trail and I've turned back many many times hitting that slop. Nice work just assessing the situation and calmly getting yourselves out. Looking forward to recovery #2!

      @@brauliogarcia9877 it's about putting the most pressure on the road. In Minnesota the ground is frozen or ice and you can't power through. It's best to take it easy and catch some traction.

    • @Tanner731
      @Tanner731 4 года назад

      depends on whats underneath, if its soft mud you dont wanna dig down but if theres a road under you or the ground is frozen it helps to have the tires aired up more

      @@brauliogarcia9877 here in Canada where we run studded tires in the winter. We run normal pressure when weather is clear. The air down about ten psi less so the studs grab because the tires studs are placed to the outside edge 3 rows of lugs. The idea of higher air pressure?????
      He's been mislead.
      I work in forestry In northern Ontario Canada and even while hauling over 100 000lbs on my trailer with a gross weight of 70 000kg. We use systems that air down our drive tires and use tire chains when its warm snow -10c and warmer snow has more water and very slippery. Colder snow dries out and gives better traction. So in this case we dont really use tire chains much.

    Nice rig. Be nice guys we were all there once. The lack of experience is pretry evident but thats ok. You have to start somewhere. Get excited to build a rig and sometimes put form before function. As stated get some lockers. The rest looks set up nicely.

  • @endurotruckererniedesjardins
    @endurotruckererniedesjardins 4 года назад

    This flick shows how easy it is to get stuck. If your on a budget and live in Canada, Canadian tire sells a SUPERWINCH LP8500 for 399.99 and it often goes on sale for about half price, I've been running mine for 14 years now trouble free first on my 81f150 on 1 ton axles n 18x39.5x15 superswamper boggers. And now on my 88 bronco on 1 tons and 18x39.5x15 superswamper boggers or 37 inch nittos for overland runs.
    The next best tool is the highlift Jack. Which can easily be used as a winch. The highlift jack is my #1 recommended tool for anyone going off rd. Its very universal and once you start thinking it can do alot of amazing jobs on the trail.

      it always works. 100% of the time lowering your tire pressure will make the tire wider and flatter, giving you more of a traction patch.

      The biggest danger would be any failure to the rigging (which is all brand new top of the line) and if that were to happen the weight of the recovery bag on the line should stop the shackle from getting close to the vehicle
