Ford F250 Off Road Truck Camping Stuck in Deep Snow Sierra Cement - Hot Springs in the Mountains
Took my truck camper off road to find a hot spring in the mountains and got stuck in deep snow!
It took all night to dig out, thanks to a shovel and some traction boards I was able to get free but this trip has confirmed that I definitely need a winch. The snow in the Sierra is so heavy - they call it Sierra Cement for a reason. This video does not accurately depict just how deep and heavy the snow was! I'll have to plan a trip back to the original hot springs I set out to find once some of the snow melts and spring comes around. I was able to find another small hot spring near by with a little bit of history though and it had just as pretty a view!

Just a thought or two, when you get stuck, DO NOT SPIN THE TIRES, ZERO. When you spin the tires, even the smallest amount, this creates ice and or digs a hole and you are transitioning from static friction to kinetic, none of which will help you. Static friction is greater than kinetic. Try backing up, be very, very, very gentle with your throttle application again so you do not spin, zero. This takes finesse, patience and practice. There is a very good chance you will be able to move even a fraction of an inch. Use this. Now try moving forward, again very, very, very gentle throttle application, ZERO wheel spin. When going forward use 2nd gear as this makes the throttle less sensitive and reduces the engine’s torque to the driven wheels thereby reducing your risk of spinning the tires. You will likely again be able to move that same amount you backed up. Make smooth gear changes between F and R. Your goal now, assuming you are able to move even the smallest amounts, is to continue this action while staying in your tracks moving in reverse until you reach a point that you can try a new track going forward again. I’m a former race driving instructor having worked for the top racing schools in Canada, race driver, truck driver, motorcycle racer, experienced amphibious ATV operator, engineering technologist and have much experience getting stuck and unstuck in snow, mud etc. Winch? You bet! Get a good one and know how to use it properly and understand its limitations. A suggestion is to install the winch on a frame that mounts in a 2” hitch receiver, install hitch receivers both front and rear along with the requisite wiring to enable the winch to be moved to the end of the truck that is most useful in a given situation. Also, get a wireless winch controller but have a wired remote unit on hand also.

After watching this video I have no idea why you would not have a Garmin InReach in your truck or backpack. This could save your life by giving you a lifeline to text a friend or law inforcement when you are out of cell phone range for around $12.00 dollars a month. You should contact Garmin they may want you to advertise this product on your channel. This product could help you and many of your viewers when they get in situations where there is no cell phone service. Please think about it.

Do you need a partner in crime? Looks very adventurous and that describes me. Of course you being eye candy doesn't hurt either. LOL Let me know! By the way, I work in the medical field and noticed you're a doctor. What kind of Doctor/Discipline if you want to say!???!

For future trips in the snow, try tire chains. I lived at 7000 ft above sea level for many years. Chains are a life saver

Tire chains all the way around, taller skinnier tires with self cleaning lugs, winch with a very long synthetic rope. Or you could always invite me along to help.

Well... Absolutely stunning and dynamic woman. There you go....I said it. Lol I wonder if she considers a good set of chains? Sometimes you can drop your tires to 5/10 lbs and balloon over the top snow. Awesome lady.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking snow and off roading are the same. Or even similar. General purpose light truck tires tend to have ice sipes, so pickups do decent in the winter. Off roading tires suck in the slippery stuff. The treads will dig holes, but once they hit something they can't dig, they don't have the siping to get traction. So they spin in place. Case in point. This video... Look how far that subaru made it... It has a shit-tastic open center diff and two open front and read diffs. Yet it goes just as far as the jeep. At 7:32 the only think keeping it from going is that it's high centered. You can tell the weight isn't on the suspension. You want to go on winter adventures, get winter tires. It's just physics. No grip, no acceleration.

Love to see you explore and see wonderful things. I hope you keep a journal for those memories. It would be a wasted if not recorded. Then again you are doing a video log. I have explored the beauty around the US and other countries. But some of my fondest memories are those who I shared them with. The "Awe" of mother nature is without words and the love of sharing is unmeasurable.

out in snow n ice I run studs on all 4, chains work but are a hassle, I use plain wheels nuthin fancy and toss ona set of studs.. if you can't do that get your tires ciped in the winter or when heading out to snow, makes a big difference, getting stuck is for lamers.. at the very least get a 2 ft spike, sledge hammer and a come along..

Word of advice for you, air your tires down to 15 or even 10 psi and you will be amazed, you probably wouldn't have gotten stuck, or at least not that bad anyways. Make sure you have an electric pump to air back up when you get back on the pavement.

Ken Crouch2 days ago
Question- Did you "air down " your tires? Meaning when you go off road you need to lower your tire pressure down for better traction. Usually go down to 15 pounds. Also - when doing this get a portable air compressor for airing back up again. Harbor Freight Tools has some in expensive winches. Also- I know you are following your own path alone but a good rule of thumb is never go off roading alone (there are off roading clubs on Facebook that will gladly let you tag along - just in case you so get stuck you will have someone to pull you out. Do you have a Satellite Phone - regular cell phones do not work good in the wilderness areas. Please reference: Tales of Wonderhussy and Matt's Off Road Recovery (both you tube channels)

Wow, you are very well equipped: traction boards, a lot of lighting, shovel on top of the tires and lift. It's good to see that monster trucks also get stuck.

Randy Smith3 days ago
Having grown up in Alaska I would have said don’t go in that stuff. 👍👍 for your determined focus on digging out, high center of packed snow can turn to near concrete, and a winch means you have something to winch to on a straight ahead pull, that is pretty rare, but they can help pull out other drivers. I once had to dig out high center and under tires and the road ahead and drive out on a ramp of trees that I laid in under a two wheel drive, 4.5 hours 😃. Still, you feel pretty proud and cocky having managed a solution. Great job you did, and lovely attitude meeting the challenge.

Great adventure video Hannah, a appreciate the honesty and your documentation of “cooly” facing and overcoming adversity. I’m so glad you got out safe! I love your rig, it does look awesome in the snow. I would happily give you my 5-ton wench that is not installed on my newer truck yet; but alas, you’re on the other side of the country. Nonetheless, if you ever get to eastern Pennsylvania, the offer stands!

Put your recovery boards on a long tether so that when they come shooting out the back and you have momentum and you are driving away your boards will follow with you as opposed to stopping & having to go back and manually get your boards your vehicle will get stuck when you stop the momentum. Works for me every time in the snow.
