BOTH Colorado ZR2s STUCK In Mud In The Uinta Mountains | Episode 2

[Music] [Music] after a good night's rest listening to the river all night we ended up spotting a nearby lake on our maps that we wanted to check out before hitting the trails we had plan today [Music] m [Music] a [Music] so I was setting up the rigs for a photo shoot and Richard was in two wheel drive and he dug his rear in pretty good ooh we might have to do a recovery here I'm going to have to get the Snatch Strap here and uh am I you're in deep yeah I'm going to have to snatch them out well not ideal but not a problem [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so uh upon doing the kinetic rope obviously it has failed cuz my front has dug in the back is still H high and dry but it was like marshy there my front dug in so now we're both stuck so game plan is to use his winch to pull me backwards onto more solid ground so I can drive up onto this very dry part here and then he can winch off me on the dry part wanted to give some tips here as I'm slowly being winched out by Richard as you can see my truck is currently in neutral and I'm letting the wi to all the work at this moment I don't want it to give it any throttle as I don't want the wheels to dig me down even further and get me more stuck I'm just being patient and letting the winch do the work all I'm doing here is moving the steering wheel back and forth to help me get out of that hole [Music] all right one vehicle out one to go so now since now I'm on dry ground here going to winch off here and uh hopefully we can get them out with these well this has turned into quite the uh interesting at least mine is on dry ground but game plan to get Richard out and here are the holes that my front wheels sunk into but game plan is um to better Mount myself and to make sure I don't sink in even though that appears to be dry ground I'm going to put my two traction boards on the rear tires so that way it has more surface area and doesn't sink in as we're winching him off if you notice I'm a little out of breath it's because the last 5 minutes I've been kind of as much as I can digging out this rear wheel so it has a lot less mud has to try to Traverse out of so I'm going to go put the traction boards under my wheels and uh he's airing Down super low down to like single digigit PSI and uh hopefully uh have a successful recovery so you can get a visual idea of what I was referring to about the traction boards so now that my wheels are mounted on the traction boards I have increased my Surface area so that way it's going to be a lot harder for the truck to sink in while he's winching off of me and uh he's just still currently airing down and hopefully we'll have this truck recovered in a few minutes all right another small little update so we you using Richard for recovery boards um pretty much one on each tire to make sure he doesn't sink back into the mud so we got all four and you can see I was out here dug up a little more of the wheel see all the mud there so kind of giving it the best chance here to be pulled up onto the traction boards and then can be drived onto the dry ground over there [Music] to right there you're on the traction board and you know what I just realized I was in neutral but my e bra was on oh people that make fun of traction boards this is living proof of how they work I mean a winch wasn't working I mean as Richard just disclosed he had his accidentally had his e bra on high stress situations tend to uh you met you miss tend to miss the small steps but you can see with just the power of the truck and the all four traction boards we were able to uh get it out of that very traction Bo yeah very deep hole we never really used the winch technically lots and lots of hours goes into making these videos and would greatly appreciate while Richard makes it out to leave a like And subscribe if you aren't [Music] we made it to the main trail we had planned today and the first several miles was just a rough road and not the fun rough roads either there was no challenges to make it worthwhile it also wasn't very Scenic as we climbed an elevation through a previously burnt Forest but things were about to change [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] well we just arrived to the peak of this Trail and at first I had my doubts about the trail cuz the beginning was kind of boring not scenic but we pushed through and I'm honestly glad we pushed through because the views up here are honestly amazing and this might be the tallest trail that you can take up in the entas possibly cuz we're sitting at 11,400 FT the views that you have all around are absolutely stunning [Music] after taking in the views it was time to head back down the mountain to make it to Camp Before Sunset [Music] we ended up finding a place to camp for the night and it was time to make dinner our ISO APL 55 is keeping everything perfectly cool for these overlanding trips this fridge is built to last as it's made from stainless steel and has a 5-year warranty on the compressor this fridge is perfect for our longer trips with 58 quarts of capacity and the option to make it a freezer and a fridge or just have it a fridge which is the current configuration we have it for this specific trip it's super quiet has a soft closed lid and has some very satisfying latches another great feature this fridge has is it has an app for your phone so even when we're driving down Trails I'm able to change the temperature if need be make sure to go check out the iso APL 55 in the link below and use code outlandish to save yourself 12% off any purchase as I wrapped up making dinner we hung out revisiting the eventful day we just had before both of us deciding to get to bed early to get some much needed rest the next morning we were greeted with a beautiful sunrise painted all over the surrounding landscape [Music] [Music] so we are currently at the next trail head that we're going to hit airing down I've already finished airing down Richard is currently finishing up his last tire and we're going to hit supposedly based on our research the hardest off-road Trail in in the entas hopefully that's the case because so far this trip has been some beautiful scenery but the trails all the trails we've done have kind of been subpar as far as obstacles so we're hoping this Trail is lives up to the rating and scratches that itch for us on you know conquering some obstacles and having some fun on the trails [Music] for go no [Music] [Music] [Music] sh [Music] [Music] as we finished up this obstacle we were nearing the end of this In-N-Out Trail the thick layer of trees and brush began thinning out until we came out to an opening revealing a boulder field with unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains [Music] [Music] [Music]
