  • I'm on the first Mountain Fishing adventure of the year. With only an MRE, I explore a couple of high mountain lakes where the Trout fishing should be amazing. Things take a sharp turn which leads to my first mountain rescue!

    Leif, I am a career military man and I have eaten my fair share of MREs. I can tell you first hand that the heaters don't always work, but when they do, it's a game changer. You do have to exhibit a little more patience than what I saw in this video and I can show you how to do it. Firstly, don't put more water than is needed as you did. Secondly, and this is where the patience comes in, place the MRE and the heater in the same compartment that the meal came in with the heater on the bottom. Lastly, lean it against a rock on an angle and let the heater vent. Go catch a trout and in 20 minutes, you'll have a meal and a great story to share!

      Hey!! Thank you so much for sending that. I just enjoyed the last of the coffee this winter!! ☕️ And I was born in the US so had US citizenship even though I lived in Germany my whole life. When we moved here I remember things being a lot tougher for my mom. She's Danish and got an H1B visa I believe. It's a worker's visa. But it took several years of applying and you need a company in the US that wants to hire you. It's totally possible, you just need to want it enough. From there, you apply for a Green Card, then citizenship. Hope that helps!!

      Hey there, just wanted to give you my 2 cents. I'm born/raised here, but my fiance is from the Philippines and I have friends from Portugal, France, Germany...etc. Getting a green card has been extremely difficult for all of them, sadly. What makes it more difficult is once you're approved, you most likely will get on a wait list, and then at that point you can't leave the country because you would be in limbo between visa and greencard.

      I think this proved what all of the experts always say: a combination of several mistakes can lead to disaster. Leif learned a lesson. (I would also reccommend that when alone, do not go walking on branches & logs above water. One slip and you can land in the water, or twist/break an ankle, even hit your head. If you are alone, that might be all she wrote. seemed like Leif was trying to force it a bit, in order to find the fish).

    Great video again Lief. A few things… 1: next time, air your tires down to about 10 PSI which helps greatly in snow. You can always put air back in the tires at the gas station. 2: Build a base for your fire with some bark or more sticks. It will help keep the fire out of the snow and push the heat up.

    My guess is that the trout are in resting mode, and not looking for food whatsoever. They're conserving their energy and living off what they stored up. This also means that any fish you did catch would probably, sadly, be pretty lethargic and not super flavorful.

      Kitty litter is another great thing to keep with you, just throw it in a toolbox or keep it in a watertight bag in the bed of the truck. Helps in place of finding gravel for traction. I use rigid molle panels mounted to the back of my seats w/ flashlight mounts, radio mounts, first aid, etc. But also keep a decent LiFePO4 battery charged up in the truck. Works great, and I just keep one always in the truck, overkill for just cell phones but I keep a 300wh battery with me because you can charge a tire inflator or jumpbox with it.

    Had this happen to me and my girlfriend a couple weeks ago in Iceland with a small camper. All we had that we could use to dig was a small frying pan and its lid, no shovel or gloves. It was towards the end of the day with a snow storm closing and temps dropping fast. After 4 hours of hacking away and digging and many layers of skin gone off my knuckles with a beautiful sunset, we gave it one last go as the last bit of light disappeared and we got it moving. To say we were relieved was an understatement.

It truly becomes a different truck when it comes to snow/ice and to me the single most important upgrade to my truck. I leave these on all year and have had my current set on for over 4 years.

    Glad you got out safely, it might be time for you to maybe get a little bit of a lift and some off-road tires for the f150, most of the fx4 packages and some other ones have a rear differential locker as well when you pull the 4x4 button out towards your for that extra traction. Also a really smart investment for it would be an off road bumper and a winch for self recovery on those trials with no cell service. I’ve been stuck plenty of times out in the cascade mountain loop highway deep in the woods on some snowy trials and the winch is a life saver.

    One major challenge I see is you don't have the proper tires for this kind of outing. Here's the preparedness tip, for those wishing to go into the wilderness in their vehicle in the mud/snow don't go with standard street tires. M/T or A/T tires are designed to better handle the rougher surfaces and reduced traction. This applies even if you have 4wd. Even a properly equipped 4wd vehicle with great tires can get stuck. Here's to safe trips for everyone venturing out.

    I have watched and enjoyed some of your videos. However, It seems you don't know the difference between a "Beaver (genus Castor)" and a "Mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa)". In describing things you add "Mountain" to anything you see in the mountains E.g. mountain trout, mountain deer, ETC. FYI it's incorrect and kind of makes you seem uneducated in the field you've chosen to make a living. I wouldn't write except this was the second video I have heard you misrepresent the "Mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa)". It is plain to see you are not an expert in the field and are learning as you go. There are several good books and field guides to reference.

    A pickup with NO 4-wheel drive is about worthless. That and NEVER run on less than 1/2 tank of gas. A topped off gas tank is the best way to run when the weather turns nasty. Period. You are lucky not to have gotten moisture in the tank, which would have caused the engine to run sporadicly and without the power it is meant to have. Plus keep a 'winter kit' in your truck around the clock, 365 days a year.

    Thanks for sharing! That spring slush is the worst for driving, I had never had a problem in snow (with great tires) until I slid out on a river access road. Like you said, having people around or available to help is crucial, thankfully I wasn’t alone so I could push/rock the car out of the ditch while my buddy drove, but alone I would’ve been completely stuck.

    All season tire are only all season in tropical climates, buy winter tires . That rig in 4x4 with real tires would have never gotten stuck in that little bit of snow. I live in Nova scotia...I,d take my Honda civic up there no sweat.

    Leif, my family loves watching your videos, especially the backpacking ones! You have inspired us all to get outdoors more which has been great. My son, he’s 3, is always searching for dragonfly larvae anytime we are near water lol it’s super cute. He turns 4 at the end of May and is having a fishing themed birthday party. I have been trying and trying to get him a bullet lure and some danish sea salt but they are always sold out. I’m wondering if I could possibly deal with you directly to get them before his party in May? I wouldn’t be asking if I wasn’t desperate at this point 😅 Hope you are well! Thanks so much!

    Pack a complete change of clothes, shoes included. Often don't plan on slipping in to the water yet one slip and soggy feet suck. Also a E-Tool(collapsible shovel) and spare knife and few tools and para cord- I can fit everything in a small duffle bag, old backpack or tool bag. No down side of having extra until you don't. Looked like a fun trip out and about, should go again, was fun watching.

Im glad I have it, but I'm having to constantly remind myself to "not be stupid" when before I was just worried and didnt make thise decisions out of necessity.

    It would help alot to have good tires on ur truck, in my experience and with my brother offrading in dangerous and wild places in all kinds of roads you can think off, even going over rocks up and down hills, driving on ice, snow, mud, water like a small creek, been offrading most of my life, and yes having good clearing or a high lifted rig is very important, but more importantly then anything else is having good tires, me and my brother had a basic stock rig a while ago, no lift kit no nothing, but what he did have is really really good tires, and even tho there were other "built" rigs u know lifted, and everything in a way much more prepared then us, but regardless bcuz we had such good all terrain nice tires we basically never got stuck, they did get stuck tho they built their rigs and had lift kits on them, they cheaped out on tires and my brother was pulling them on on a stock suv with his really nice tires,
    So in my experience especially for someone like you man, you HAVE to have good all terrain tires, weather ur driving in slush or deep snow or powder snow, or again mud, whatever they will get you through, it would help to lift ur truck, but ofc not as important as having good tires, it's a lesson we learned the hard way, the only time tires won't save u is if ur driving basically on hard mud or clay and ur rig bottoms out xD
    But definitely I have personally driven in far worse conditions, to me these roads you driven in this video is for someone like me really good roads actually, bcuz I've been through some rough roads, and with the tires I have even tho my car is simple not lifted or anything I'd never get stuck thx to the tires don't underestimate how much of an impact tires can have, it's a night and day difference trust me on that.
    but definitely was worried about you man, you definitely are lucky to have had service to make a call, places me and my brother went your phone becomes paperweight, so u get stuck and it's over ur gonna live there till someone maybe drives by to help. Again learned that the hard way.
    So again life plsss get some good tires I can Guarantee You that you definitely wouldn't have gotten stuck on that road if u did, comming from someone who's been off reading most of my life I've driven on way worse snowy roads and never got stuck thx to my tires, I can definitely give you suggestions and or recommendations on tires and tire sizes if you'd like I also used to work a discount tires and was taught many things about tires, if ur interested ofc
    I'm sorry for the long msg you might get too bored to read it all, I just worry about u, and don't want anything bad to happen to u,
    Ps: want a secret for snow offroading and looking for a place to turn around? You should bring from home like a sharp metel rod or stick something strong and sturdy, reason why is u take that stick and kind of shove it into the ground especially for snow, and seeing how deep the snow is, like u said you could have been stuck in a ditch there's no way to know with all that snow, so to tell if there is a ditch or not use that metal rod and see how deep it is and you'll see right away if in case ur truck does go the way ur truck did can it have enough clearance to keep going, if like here you'd see OK too deep u then can try turning around somewhere else.
    And it also helps alot to have these plastic boards called "off road traction boards"
    Which you can buy on Amazon can help alot as well if ur ever stuck. How I learned to offraod is to always assume when your going to the wild in ur suv or truck or whatever is to always assume that you can or will get stuck, and ask urself life " do I have the tools to self rescue, or to get unstuck from this situation?"
    Always always when going offroading to assume that way, I always do myself, even if I will have service or if I'm going with a friend, it's better to have all these tools in case of a situation like this ur in. Again Apologies for the long message I care about you man and I want u to learn from someone experienced like me with offroading to not make the mistakes I did, I want u to be safe, I'm glad you got out, o hope this message will help alot life and even hope it will save you some day! Continue making these great !

    Just gotta comment because I want you to catch fish. Or at least have a better chance. I noticed the terminal tackle is heavy. May I suggest a lighter lure? Have you heard about the hybrid of combining fly with reel fishing. Take a fly and add to the existing setup. As long as it’s heavy enough to cast it won’t sink as fast as what you’re using now. Thanks for the content.

    You sharing the not so good parts of your trips surely does help us prepare as well, but the only thing that I do religiously before any trip is I fill up the tank and top off when I have the chance. I'm glad you made it out safe and yes friends and neighbors are awesome to have!! After watching this video I already know what I am missing and will add to my truck.
