    Good work getting out of the snow!
    There is nothing worse than the combination of wet snow and soft mud for getting stuck.
    You guys did all the right things eg. staying calm, making use of the high lift jack, stones under the wheels, Maxtrax, etc. Too bad the winch decided not to work! Argh!
    Well done to get Albo out and undamaged.
    Nice to see Tom again and looking in fine fettle.
    RIP Sammy the Snowman!!! ☃

    No doubt you are now receiving extraordinary quantities of self-recovery suggestions of widely varying quality! I’ll add my free advice, and, as the cliché goes, it’s worth its price.
    1) Your video proves, one again, that while traction boards aren’t utterly useless, they do come close.
    2) there’s an excellent Hi Lift attachment that grabs your wheel spokes - perfect in the situation you filmed. Hi Lift raises the tire directly, slip traction board beneath raised tire. I’ve had a LOT of success with that technique.
    I suppose it’s too obvious that we should periodically test our winches. But, honestly, I never remember to test mine!!!

      @NextMeridianExpedition  10 місяців тому +1

      thanks for the tips!!! we ll keep that in mind. on the winch testing we really felt let down because we actually use it fairly regularly to help others. and the one time we need it for us it does not work. but it s true it should always be tested. I guess because we drive everyday we not always know when we re going for hard tracks. but we will be more careful in the future.

    Bit too adventurous, but that's also where the best adventures come from. As Jimny driver its great to see them off roading round the world, and glad you got a guide out.
    Winch wise, if not used they can have numerous issues, worth every month pulling it fully out, then drag the spare wheel back to the car, or winch the car to a tree - heat cycle through the winch keeps them dry and freed up. Lots of water crossings and freezing temps wont help a winch either, especially if there is any moisture build up inside.

    Nice to see Lanin, and San Martin where I crossed by bus, twice on journeys more than a decade ago. Once, after a midsummer snowstorm (February in that latitude like August in the North). It only gets more beautiful amidst the lakes as you travel on toward Bariloche, and then most beautiful heading toward El Bolson. Look for Lemuria when you reach Epuyén!

    The Clicking sounds from the winch are most likely stuck brushes. From little use this usually occures with electric winches, I kknow this as it has happened to me. Remove the cables on the winch motor, then use I believe 6 or 7mm wrench to remove the 2 long screws holding the motor in place. Lightly tapping the motor you can remove it. Clean thoroughly the brushes and their holders, remove any residue on the copper winding especially where the brushes ride on the motor. Put it all back in reverse order paying attention the the brushes so that they properly sit where they should. Good Luck, I know you can do it Nick.

    I was exhausted watching you struggle. I would have felt so desperate being stuck in such a remote place. You did really well getting out on your own. That other car was so deep in the hole and sideways. I suppose they got out but I'm glad that wasnt you! So great to see Tom again. Im curious what he did when he had to ship Jerry when he couldn't drive with the steering wheel on the right side. I cant remember what country doesnt allow it. Im excited to see what you get up to with Tom next week! I forgot to say well done on the drone that was cool when you hovered during the river crossing. Love seeing the landscape from above too. So pretty.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition

    Generally, in snow, you want to INCREASE the tire pressure in order to open up the treads. In fact, it is actually better to go for a narrower tire in snow so that the tire cuts through. A wide tire tends to hydroplane. In high latitudes, where it is very cold and dry, it is often best to go with a tire made from a soft rubber compound that will "stick" to ice. That is why you will often see people driving around Alaska, the Yukon and the NWT during the cold of winter, on soft high performance radial tires.

    Wow you guys are sure risk takers, but that is the adventure. Don't think I would have drove those snowy roads🏔. God seems to take care of the bold. He sent those guys in the jeeps 🚙🚙to tell you not to keep going and they helped you drive back safely. I love monkey puzzle trees,🌳🌳 I planted one years ago in my yard now it is 30 feet tall. I knew they came from South America. Thanks for sharing stay safe and happy adventuring. Nice to see Tom and Jerry again. Cheers 🍕🍕🍕🍕🤠

    Ugh. Snow sucks. You made the right choice by going the lowland route. Happy to see Tom again. Stay with him until the end. Maybe he can go to Antarctica with you. Beautiful mountains and clear skies. Love the drone shots. Albo is a tough machine. Yeah, get the winch fixed and maybe upgrade it to one which will equals the vehicle and contents. Also, can't have too much cable. You may even want to carry and extra. You put one between two trees on opposite sides of the road, then hook your vehicle cable to the middle that. (Like a T). Otherwise it may be too far for your vehicle cable to reach. Onward to more adventures.

      Haaaa interesting! We have extra straps. We managed to fix the winch ourselves eventually but still order parts in case we have a problem one day.

      hahahaha surely we will. we thought: how unlucky we used the winch so many times to help others, never for ourselves. and the one day we need it... it gives up on us

    I kept thinking you need to turn around. Worry was written all over your faces which was understandable given the precarious situation you were in. Happy it all turned out and sometimes the best decision is simply recognize that to push forward is too risky. You were lucky to encounter the other vehicles who advised you that going forward would be a mistake. You gave it your all. One more adventure to add to all the other memorable ones you've had in the past.

    What a fantastic episode , great to see how you got out of it , I bet you were pleased you’d kept that high lift , I think you’ve got the winch fixed now but they do sit there and we never try them until we need them I’ve learned a lesson there cheers and here’s to the next one 🎉👍🏻🍺🍺

    • @NextMeridianExpedition

    Je ne sais pas si vous avez lu Davaï Kamtchatka de Marc Mellet avant de partir mais ça me rappelle un peu le moment où ils sont coincés des jours entiers dans les montagnes Kirghizes à avancer mètre par mètre pour passer un col enneigé.
    C'est un peu l'histoire de ce qu'on peut accomplir avec beaucoup de détermination... ou alors de jusqu'où la folie peut nous emmener quand on n'est pas prêt à faire demi tour xD

      non pas lu mais je vais l acheter de ce pas !!! merci pour la recommendation Felix. oui c est complique de savoir quand faire demi tour. a chaque fois tu te dis. c est pas si mal c est pas si mal hahahaha. en vrai je pense que sans les 4x4 qui sont arrives on aurait continue. on regrette un peu de pas l avoir fait. mais bon... who knows c était peut être pour le meilleur

    First of all great driving for someone who doesn't offroad that much! And good recovery work. If you're going into the snow again I'd highly recommend a set of v-bar tire chains - the big truck ones - there's nothing like them, it feels like you're driving a caterpillar. I don't go anywhere without mine (partly cause I don't have a winch mounted 😅) Cheers!

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  10 місяців тому +1

      yes make sense! I think we were not expecting that much snow and somehow advanced thinking, "oh it ll be alright" and it was just getting deeper and deeper

  • @grahameroberts8109
    @grahameroberts8109 10 місяців тому +1

    Well you don’t need that 12v dust blower/vacuum cleaner in the snow, but three things would be useful. Firstly, a LONG HANDLED shovel; secondly, tell-tales on your max trax for when they get buried and you can’t find them and finally a service on your winch. You have taken Albo into its favourite areas on this trip. 👍🏻🙏🦘
