New subscriber too your channel so binge watching so i can catch up.Loving what i have seen so far.Keep up the good work and the fantastic videos.Stunning location.
Phew...........withdrawal symptoms have now subsided after watching your video. Thought you'd forgot about us Russell! Looks like a great machine. 1) Little box upfront: your head net and jacket for the flies and some spare go pro batteries for the journey! 2) Rear Storage: Tripod and other camera accessories and a Dr Pepper for when you go to Subway on your Outlander! I bet you could buy a decent aftermarket Gear Knot on amazon! Anyway now that I have forfilled my duties I look forward to your next video Russell. PS: Please don't keep me hanging to long :-) I am currently in the process of investigating the prospect of me immigrating to Canada and setting up Off Grid as I can't think of anything better. I started off watching My Self Reliance but your videos are so much more interesting!
Thanks for the comments, John. I had to google what the hell a gear knot was. LOL. Figured it out. Hey I've been putting out videos, maybe you're missing them? Go to my channel and look at the video list to make sure.
Those rear hand guards are probably that way on purpose to allow them to flex when you bump them getting on and off the machine. If they were hard plastic, they would probably break pretty quickly. Looks like you picked out a good one.
Hard to tell if you are impressed with it or disappointed. I heard as much criticism as I did good. What is your overall feeling about the machine. Kinda agree with you..remove the rear storage. A lot more space to strap things. Curious about the power of the machine is it a lot stronger than the other?
If you gonna drive on the road very much I suggest you get a detachable windshield for it!!! A windshield really helps with knocking down the chill in winter & if you ever get caught in the rain 🌧 it helps with not getting soaked as bad. But the biggest benefit is keeping you from being as cold as it blocks a lot of cold wind from direct contact to your body.
Cool, I'm glad you got something out of that. I'm planning a 1 year follow up soon. Short version: Both passenger hand shields broke off, rather easily, and the cargo box even more easily. Best upgrade is the aluminum skid plate. Also best: heated hand grips. Wow do they make a difference.
Those birds sound just like our sandhill cranes. We never had any in the area (NW WI all my life-60's on) but a pair settled about 5 years ago now and come back every year, with friends...or relatives.
The small box on the front is the glovebox and supposed to be attached where the passenger seat is behind the driver seat as stock. Also a rear trunk tips, put a bungie strap around the shiny tip-over bar below the trunk and hook it in the rear bumper to keep it from opening accidentally if you got stuff in there!
I also thought about getting the big box but thought it was a bit too expensive and fancy. So I got the open metal storage bin (715001215) instead, which is really sturdy and mounted some extra holders like external can holders to that and its perfect for carrying a chainsaw and accessories.
Just in case you are not aware, the main purpose of that small cargo box on the front rack is to fill in the void left at the rear when you remove the passenger seat. A lot of people do not know this. Makes for a level surface if you remove the rear seat and rear cargo box.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Yeah I use mine for a few small items and lunch when on shorter rides. Not great for most rides but wanted to share just in case. Enjoy the bike.
How's she goin'? Your new ride is awesome!!! Great overview and your comments about the various additions were pretty real!!! I hope the gear problems you were having on the first trip in turn out to be easily addressed. Take 'er easy!!!
Hey RUSS, the u shaped tool you showed first is to adjust the shock tension. Hard ride or soft ride. I had that on my Kawasaki bruteforce. Nice quad , love it! Good luck
Awesome bike man! The little storage case up front goes where your 2up seat is if you take it off and your big storage on back should have a little prop there to hold it open.
The max is my favourite bike. I have a Honda Forman 500 which is a traffic work bike but it beats you up really good when on the trail. I drove a max for a day on both the back and front and it was by far the most comfortable I have rode. Enjoy the new ride.
Awesome video Russ. I believe that "Bottle opener" in the tool kit is your shock adjuster. I had a Harley Davidson Sportster that had adjustable rear shocks and the wrench looked similar to what you showed. Glad that you finally are getting a helmet. Take care Russ.
Great video, Russ. I think one could walk into a store and buy one and take it home and know all about it from your video. Very complete and interesting. Supposed to get 3" of snow up here, that unit would come in handy! Hope your firewood pile is getting bigger for next year. Once the snow is gone here, I will be getting after it. Take care!
Great lookin' machine Russ! Hope its everything you need on the Rock. I dig the aluminum skid plating and axle boot guards. My terrain here is not as treacherous as your trail, but I have gotten tree branches thru my plastic boot guards and tore one of them. Still need to replace the boot, but i just pump it full of grease. Speaking of grease, you should get to know where all the grease fittings are on your machine and grease them frequently since you go thru all that water. Its a simple task even the mechanically disadvantaged man can do. Happy trails to you!
Great review Russ. Nice choice this machine is gonna be perfect for you and Alicia with the two up option. I own a Canam Defender side by side so am familiar with Can Am, having said that I have the corded remote and my machine had a port wear it plugs in and the cord is 6 feet long, you can also get a cordless remote for the warn winchs, just so you know. One thing I did this past winter was put tracks on my Defender, we had a lot of snow and this machine and the tracks are amazing, there was not any snow condition that I would get stuck in, took a bit to get use to them but they are awesome. They are all season tracks. Cheers MT
Hi Russ, yes tracks are expensive, just wanted you to know in case you had wondered or thought about how well they work as I did before when I was considering them. The cordless remote for the warn winch is 234.99. Involves some installation work of the model but it looks like it's plug and play other than the mounting of the module itself. Cheers MT
MegaMadTrapper Russ the cordless remote is an easy install we put one on my sons bike in about 30 minutes and he uses it all the time same battery in the remote for 4 years and still going strong
Subscribed. Looking at an Outlander 850 North Edition. Loved your 1 year honest review. How’s the Visco-Lok front diff been working for you? I’m looking for the North Edition to plow our gravel driveway and road leading up to our lake house. I would also be using it for around the house work. Thanks so much.
Love the CamAm by the way you were photo bombed by 2 Sandhill Cranes. we get them here in Florida in the winter their fly over calls are un mistakable, Love the channel glad the finally defrosting. :)
Hey Russ, I agree with you on the rear deluxe box, little bit flimsy. If it wasn't already mentioned there is a little swing down leg on the top cover of the rear box on the left side facing it to hold it open. Not sure if you knew that or mentioned it? I have the same ATV and similar accessories. Love this beast thus far. check your front Wheel alignment, Mine was toed out 1/2" on the front left wheel and it pulled to the left. Fixed now. All the best....
I did find the little arm, but again you need both hands to invoke it. Annoying box for sure. Don't know much about wheel alignment, hope mine is okay.
@@bettinah.7429 you can swim in it if you can get used to the idea of swimming faster than leeches and staying away from the snappers. I haven't gotten there yey.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin omg!! 😱 I would never ever get to the swimming point then......I would stick with appreciating how beautiful it is to look at and leave it at that. My family cottage is on such a beautiful clear lake that I have been very spoiled,Sandy lake near Buckhorn Ont.
I may be wrong, but I think those birds were sandhill cranes, not trumpeter swans. Just saying. Correct me if I am wrong. By the way you make great videos. Thank you from a fellow Canadian.
hello Russ Awesome quad ! I am about to sign my name on a Can am 850 just on the fence if i want the Outlander XT or the Max XT . new subscriber your channel is great
New sub. Nice bike. I am a true Can Am fan and you went all out on accessories. I purchased the xmr. I am switching to a HD10 Defender XMR or Polaris Ranger 1000. I am from Saskatchewan. Your videos along with Shawn’s and others inspired me to build my own cabin. I will upload a video of my cabin in the next week. Cheers
Nice machine, seen your videos using it since you purchased it. Do you have any thoughts of installing a windshield/visor on it? I know as I also follow Shawn James, he had mentioned that when he made wis choice for an ATV that he wanted the visor to keep branches reflected from his face.
Very good looking ATV Russell I think your trips in and out Will be much easier how far is it from where you parked your truck to get to the cabin ? Some of your videos show you gone through quite Lee or deal to get to your place. Great videos enjoy watching
Very good descriptive review of the ATV Russel for any buyer of this machine. I like the 2 different keys in case you let kids take it out for a spin. My kids would destroy it in the high mode. Cheers!
It could be that the Problem on Your backpack are from the locking System, maybe over some Years the Lock moved a little bit, that would explain that it not easy close and if it`s closed the left and right part stand up, couse the lock is too strong, maybe if it`s possible you can move the Lock at the old place, normally at cars their are only 2 Screws ore sommething, maybe the Wizzard can help, good luck and good Bye from Berlin :D
Lake level looks high.....are you connected to the Trent Severn system or does the level vary naturally? Heading up to my cabin on Pigeon Lake soon.....Sweet rig! I'm sure by now you've run it through the paces.
Not familiar with this make of ATV (Where is it made?). Seems to me that the small front box is meant to store documents, handbook, mobile telephone etc. and is easily detachable so that you can use it like a Briefcase when you go into Subway or a Supermarket etc. I wouldn't want to ride those tyres/tires on Asphalt more than absolutely necessary. Anyway, I am only up as far as April so have a few more months to catch up to current time and developments.
Great video. How's that rear storage Box holding up for you. I'm in the market for one like yours but seen the same issues with opening up the lid no dampener no handle etc. For $429.99 it should be better built. My old Honda I bought a $15 Box from walmart that lasted 9 years and am having a hard time justifying the can am box due to the price. I'm having a hard time finding a box other than can am boxes. Let me know if you have any other ideas thank you.
I can't pull the trigger on a new one yet....did you try out the 6x6....now that's a beast....I prefer the after market cargo boxes, they are more modular...but expensive.
Look good. You will love the upgrade on the skid plate. Not sure on this one, don't they have engine brake compression for going down hill? Will ride smoother with extra wheel base. You should upgrade the cable on the winch go synthetic/rope. Enjoy. Cheers
Very nice. Thinking you're going to like this one a lot. Looking forward to seeing you put it through it's paces. Live stream tonight with the holiday and all?
hey you here wonder what that sound was when you where going down hill is called a retarder the mortor slows down the bike saves on brakes i had a 550 polaris it had on, i live in canada ,red deer,alberta hope that helps
Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin I thought so I have the Maxxis Zillas on my 17 Grizzly here in northern Wisconsin...I like them for sure....I’m pretty sure they will work well for you...good choice
Just a thought,maybe the dealership could do a trade for the remote you need,for the bits you don't.Lovely Machine all the same.p.s How about a Elk antler gear shift knob?Great vid as ever Russell,Peace ooooot!
New subscriber. Great videos! It is wonderful that you don't hold anything back. What you see is what you get! Your dogs are wonderful too. We can really tell how much you love them.
Nice machine Russ . Gonna be interesting to see how you're gonna strap long boards on it like you did your other ATV . That back seat might be in the way . You got it plated for the road . Was wondering how much would the insurance be for that to drive on the road . Thanks.
You should put a piece of elk antler for your gear shifter or a small mirror ball on top of the new handle lol. Yep that is one nice bike makes me want to upgrade mine. Good to hear you are getting a helmet Russ safety first young man all the best from Alberta Canada 🍁
Nice review of your new ATV even though I was looking around at the scenery too ;) The rear and front storage boxes are practical for a trail rider but not for you. You bring in and out a lot of supplies and the racks will be useful. Someday you will finish construction and then use the trailer alone. The storage boxes will be useful again when you don't need to use the racks. I snowmobile too so the heated handles and trigger are useful. My ATV is a 2 UP also and the extra length I find useful when going up slopes or down... it's less tippy. You are living the life bud .... cheers.
Thanks for the comments Tyboy. I forgot to show how easy it is to remove and reinstall the cargo box on the box. It's almost as easy as the front one is. Which is very nice.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Yes, I watched your follow up video. I live in Southern Arizona and encounter dirt and rock on 99.9% of occasions (However we did get 4 inches of snow last year). I'm wondering if the stock wheels will do the trick for my uses as I am trying to save some money on this purchase. I am like you and have zero interest in climbing hills at 80mph on two wheels. It was really nice to see a video of somebody using there ATV for practical purposes, there are a lot of videos of people doing crazy stuff on these things, while cool, just nothing I would ever consider doing. Keep the videos coming your doing a great job!
You selected the model with the extra storage bins and so on, so why pick them apart??? I chose the L model which does not have extras, if I want extras I can pick what I want.
New subscriber also. I was wondering why the trailer 's wheels are so small. Is there a reason for this? Here in Australia are normal size relative to the ATV.
The trailer is a bit of a Frankenstein now. I bought a road - worthy axel but can't find off road tires the right size with 5 bolt pattern. I need to get the Wizard to fix me something
To bad that back storage box is so close to the exhaust....would have been a great spot for a few brews 😏👍🤠 Great options you went with! Especially the skid plate package. Really like the color scheme 👍
Living The Dream what ever you put in there Russ make sure it can get wet cause they are not water tight I have filled mine with water several times riding trails out in the mountains.
New subscriber too your channel so binge watching so i can catch up.Loving what i have seen so far.Keep up the good work and the fantastic videos.Stunning location.

I don't think they need to be hard plastic, just a second mounting point would have been a good idea.
Great call with the skid plate upgrade
That tiny storage box will go where the 2 up seat goes to make it look more sleek if you want to take it off
Hard to tell if you are impressed with it or disappointed. I heard as much criticism as I did good. What is your overall feeling about the machine. Kinda agree with you..remove the rear storage. A lot more space to strap things. Curious about the power of the machine is it a lot stronger than the other?
Overall I think this machine is going to do well. Just not happy with all it's features. It's 78HP, it's a little stronger than the old 800.
If you gonna drive on the road very much I suggest you get a detachable windshield for it!!! A windshield really helps with knocking down the chill in winter & if you ever get caught in the rain 🌧 it helps with not getting soaked as bad. But the biggest benefit is keeping you from being as cold as it blocks a lot of cold wind from direct contact to your body.
Don't think I'll be on the road much. The bike is mainly for getting to the cabin and hauling crap.
Thank you! The only decent overview of the Can Am Outlander I’ve found on You Tube! Thanks from the UK!
Cool, I'm glad you got something out of that. I'm planning a 1 year follow up soon. Short version: Both passenger hand shields broke off, rather easily, and the cargo box even more easily. Best upgrade is the aluminum skid plate. Also best: heated hand grips. Wow do they make a difference.
Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin that’s good to know! Was the rear box the can am 86ltr big one? Or after market?
@@Longstride Yes it's the Can Am one. Really pretty, but ugh. If you choose an after market one, let me know what it is. I may replace this one.
Those birds sound just like our sandhill cranes. We never had any in the area (NW WI all my life-60's on) but a pair settled about 5 years ago now and come back every year, with friends...or relatives.

@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Yeah I use mine for a few small items and lunch when on shorter rides. Not great for most rides but wanted to share just in case. Enjoy the bike.
Good stuff as usual Russell. You have me all fired up about getting my own ATV or UTV for the upcoming summer. I really like the look of your Can Am.
It's a sweet ride, Scott.
How's she goin'? Your new ride is awesome!!! Great overview and your comments about the various additions were pretty real!!! I hope the gear problems you were having on the first trip in turn out to be easily addressed. Take 'er easy!!!

Hey RUSS, the u shaped tool you showed first is to adjust the shock tension. Hard ride or soft ride. I had that on my Kawasaki bruteforce. Nice quad , love it! Good luck
Thanks Bobby, I guess I should learn how to use it.
Awesome bike man! The little storage case up front goes where your 2up seat is if you take it off and your big storage on back should have a little prop there to hold it open.

Thanks Dino. Every bit of plastic was eventually torn off the old bike. Plastic doesn't last long on that trail.
Thanks for the detailed video. I’m thinking of getting the single seat XT.
Kane, I would seriously go for the extended warranty. The base is only 6 months, but you can extend it to 1.5 years.
The Birds are called Whooping Cranes not to be confused with Sand Hill Cranes.
They're cranes of some type, agreed.
Great review Russ. Nice choice this machine is gonna be perfect for you and Alicia with the two up option.

My mistake, those are definitely sandhill cranes.
Hope your still at it. Like the energy

Thought they were sandhill cranes also
hello Russ Awesome quad ! I am about to sign my name on a Can am 850 just on the fence if i want the Outlander XT or the Max XT . new subscriber your channel is great
Like I said before, nice ride. One of the upgrades you may want to look at is installing synthetic cable on your winch. Now lets get some dirt on it.
Cedar, I have a synthetic cable on my FJ. Not fond of them. They tend to melt when the drum gets hot.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin LOL Ya I guess it would.
I know you use a trailer mostly. If I was to get one I'd like an open rear bed like a pickup truck.
Lmao, at first I thought the swan noice was coming from ur new quad!
Yeah freaked me out too when I first heard it. We don't see (or hear) those swans often.
Crane sound those are not swans
Great bike
Thanks Ron.
Nice machine
one vote here for the Raspberry Rockett. a quick addition would be a piece of elk antler for a handle on the rear box. nice machine Russell 👍
Thanks Jim, interesting idea.

I did forget to mention the tires. I had the stock ones swapped out for mudzillas.
Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin I thought so I have the Maxxis Zillas on my 17 Grizzly here in northern Wisconsin...I like them for sure....I’m pretty sure they will work well for you...good choice
Just a thought,maybe the dealership could do a trade for the remote you need,for the bits you don't.Lovely Machine all the same.p.s How about a Elk antler gear shift knob?Great vid as ever Russell,Peace ooooot!
I've been looking at gear knobs on Amazon. There's a nifty black and red one that looks like the handle of a katana. But it's too long, unfortunately.
Dont use cable....I use Dyneema rope...amazingly strong, durable and light...Dyneema K12...look ibto it.
New subscriber. Great videos! It is wonderful that you don't hold anything back. What you see is what you get! Your dogs are wonderful too. We can really tell how much you love them.
Thanks SM, I appreciate the comments! And welcome!
Good video. The gray key is performance just so you know.
That's not a pliers. It is a wrench to adjust spring stiffness
Nice machine Russ . Gonna be interesting to see how you're gonna strap long boards on it like you did your other ATV . That back seat might be in the way . You got it plated for the road . Was wondering how much would the insurance be for that to drive on the road . Thanks.
Alicia has the insurance papers, I forget what the cost is. It wasn't a lot, maybe a couple hundred?
Thanks
Love the new atv. Great video. Thanks for showing it to us.
How good are these tires in the deep snow compared to the new ones you had on the old one in the back? Very nice machine!!
Won't know until I try it in deep snow, Richard.
Can you take back seat of and on to haul things like long boards
Apparently you can take the backseat off, but I haven't tried yet.
You should put a piece of elk antler for your gear shifter or a small mirror ball on top of the new handle lol. Yep that is one nice bike makes me want to upgrade mine. Good to hear you are getting a helmet Russ safety first young man all the best from Alberta Canada 🍁
Thanks Robert.
Congrats on your new machine.your gonna have a blast with it I'm sure...sure beats my old 83 honda atc...
Are you adapting well to the new 4 wheeler? Can't the wizard put a handle on it?
Adapting to the new 4 wheeler? How do you mean?
Beautiful bike!! It should serve you well. Your old one certainly sold quickly. Still too much snow in Petawawa to get around on our ATV's.
Nice
Enjoy with your new ride.
recommend , watched the 2 hour special. new subscriber
Thanks and welcome to this!
Nice review of your new ATV even though I was looking around at the scenery too ;) The rear and front storage boxes are practical for a trail rider but not for you. You bring in and out a lot of supplies and the racks will be useful. Someday you will finish construction and then use the trailer alone. The storage boxes will be useful again when you don't need to use the racks.
I snowmobile too so the heated handles and trigger are useful. My ATV is a 2 UP also and the extra length I find useful when going up slopes or down... it's less tippy. You are living the life bud .... cheers.
Thanks for the comments Tyboy. I forgot to show how easy it is to remove and reinstall the cargo box on the box. It's almost as easy as the front one is. Which is very nice.
Well done sir! Are those tires included in the base model?
No Sir, they are upgrades. And one of the best decisions I made.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Yes, I watched your follow up video. I live in Southern Arizona and encounter dirt and rock on 99.9% of occasions (However we did get 4 inches of snow last year). I'm wondering if the stock wheels will do the trick for my uses as I am trying to save some money on this purchase. I am like you and have zero interest in climbing hills at 80mph on two wheels. It was really nice to see a video of somebody using there ATV for practical purposes, there are a lot of videos of people doing crazy stuff on these things, while cool, just nothing I would ever consider doing. Keep the videos coming your doing a great job!
I would imagine you'll be fine with the stock tires
You selected the model with the extra storage bins and so on, so why pick them apart??? I chose the L model which does not have extras, if I want extras I can pick what I want.
New Toys..Got too love them...
Russell very enjoyable video, looks like a great machine, all the best.
Thanks Chev.
New subscriber also. I was wondering why the trailer 's wheels are so small. Is there a reason for this? Here in Australia are normal size relative to the ATV.
The trailer is a bit of a Frankenstein now. I bought a road - worthy axel but can't find off road tires the right size with 5 bolt pattern. I need to get the Wizard to fix me something
Great review on the ATV! Looks like you got a good day to video. Respect that power brother! It will serve you well. Nice ride!
Thanks Sandman.
Nice ride how long will you keep this one for Russell
Infinity.
To bad that back storage box is so close to the exhaust....would have been a great spot for a few brews 😏👍🤠
Great options you went with! Especially the skid plate package. Really like the color scheme 👍
Thanks Rick. Not sure what I'll put in the trunk yet. Great little storage spot though.
Living The Dream what ever you put in there Russ make sure it can get wet cause they are not water tight I have filled mine with water several times riding trails out in the mountains.
Nice looking. Good job.✅
when will you start on finishing the inside of the cabin...?
I've already started Steve
So what is the difference between the 850 and the 850 Xt
Do you still like your new can am. I’m thinking about getting one. Just like yours.
Yes it's a great machine. let me know how it goes.
How are you liking the ATV overall?
It's a good machine. Definitely need the upgraded skid plate. I would pass on the cargo box, look for something after market.
Where did u get the rear orange bumper ?
Looks awesome Russ! 👍✌
Nice ride Russ!!! Swap out that handle with an 8 ball.
Wayne I saw a black and red katana handle on Amazon, but it's too long.
Wow nice gotta ask how u float all that
It will definitely sink. Don't try it.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin no how u float everything financially
Now you need a matching utility trailer for atv
Just checked out the review on it, wow your going to have fun.... 78hp cool.
Thanks Gordon!
I loved your video it was well done, thanks Russ....
Thanks Mukka.
Do those quads still break down all the time?
