  • After being stuck for a month and a half, we brought in the world famous @budnixon to help us out with his awesome Tucker Sno-Cat for a recovery job on a Chevy Silverado that trapped by a snowstorm while on a family Christmas tree hunting trip. The snow was about 5' deep with a 1' layer of crust ice on the top and the truck was frozen in place. My tracked Jeep would have been able to drive in and out of there, but I had serious doubts about it being able to pull the truck out. So Nik brought in his Snowcat to be the muscle for the job and after a lot of shoveling and winching, we were able to get the truck back to solid ground with no damage and reunited with it's very happy owner.
    Here's a link to the greatest snowcat camping video ever made, that just so happened to be made during the same storm that buried the truck, and only about a mile away..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
