  • We took the snowcat out for it's first test drive. We took it pretty easy as I was expecting something to go wrong. Subscribe if you'd like to see us take it further and deeper and build some roads for the jeeps where we could never get this time of year before.

    Get a hitch hoist/crane
    Mount behind cab to swivel out and atv winch on it to lift with.
    Use couple of the triangle with a bar connecting between the 2 meat racks.
    4 pick points, hook into large wheel for back 2
    Somewhere on front frame for other 2. Motorcycle tie downs will work nicely. Wireless remote on the winch
    Bumper hoist - northern tools
    Winch harbor freight tools.
    Will work for putting supplies in the bed as well.
    Was worried my injuries would do this to me and I'd need what I described.

    That Snow Cat deserves to have the biggest, fattest longest Yankum rope they make... should be able to pull small mountains out of the way then if you can find the right tree to attach to...

  • @adamj1337
    @adamj1337 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I was hoping to see what you got into over the weekend - saw you leaving Timmy's in your Jeep but the wife didn't share my excitement...
    I'm envious of the capability the snowcat provides as I've been eyeing timbersleds recently for my bike dreaming of winter bush adventures.
    I wonder if there's some kind of pulley system you could fandangle to pull yourself up instead of using that sketchy piece of wet wood lol
    I don't know if that would be easier for you or anyone else involved but it could make getting into the cat on the trailer almost as fun as driving it!
    Keep doing you bud.

    11:50 Why do people almost always steer in the wrong direction when they are towed? Now they steer the front end towards the fence instead of towards the road.

    • @BruceCookfmx
      @BruceCookfmx  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      😂😂 yup! If I was in my jeep I would be on radio telling them to steer the other way but this one I just kept pulling lol

  • @Biffo1262

    I am gradually losing the use of my legs and my consultant isn't the slightest bit sympathetic even though surgery could correct it. He seems to think that at 74 years of age my mobility isn't a priority. He forgets the debilitating pain issue and the effect on my mental health never mind physically. My GP has withdrawn most pain medication as he says I've been on it too long.....Catch 22. The UK National Health only seems to care about 'productive' or 'important' for important read influential members of society. My injury was due to public service as a fire officer and I had to retire from the job of my life aged 47. I have since had a heart attack, suffer from sleep apnoea and heart arrhythmia. Would I do what you are doing given the chance? Damn right I would and damn the consequences and the UK NHS!
