- The day has finally come when we were able to get out to do this trip again.
This route alone was one of the reasons I got hooked into doing all of this TH-cam stuff. After my first or second trip I said to Mike... "Wouldn't it be awesome to record this?" and then being able to share it with family or friends who may not ever get to see this?
My adrenaline still rushes and I was beyond thrilled taking two people who have never done anything close to this before.
Mike and I have many stories about this route. We've had our moments of frustration and inexperience leadings us to make some silly choices. Even with those little frustrations, when you finally arrive at the destination it's so worth it!
It always amazes me how the landscape changes, especially with beavers involved. Almost unrecognizable from year to year.
Anyway, enjoy Part 1 of this great trip us four
guys had.

Hey Buddy ! What a good video ! I Gave it a share on Instagram for ya ! WOW what a trail ! and it was made so much worse with that AC not having 4WD or a winch.... that sucks.... it made so much more work for all of yahs, BUT you guys handle it great, all stayed in good spirits and you didn't leave him behind haha
That camping spot.... just beautiful ! isn't is crazy.. it seems like the worse the trail, the more beautiful spot you get to. I'm going to have to check out Part 2 ! Great video man ! really enjoyed it.
Hey man, thanks for checking out the video and the comment. Means alot when one of my original influencers appreciates and enjoyed the video.
Sucks having issues with the Cat but even with all the issues we still managed to make it! We also couldnt leave him behind, my mother in law would have our heads haha. That camping spot is the reason I got hooked on ATV camping... and to think there are many more we haven't seen yet! One day!
Party 2 is still in post, I hope to have it done soon!
Thanks again!
YEAH BUDDY, that looked like a whole mitt full of fun! I love these videos where there's a destination and a bit of work to get there. The anticipation makes the video so much better.
Sucks that the 4WD and winch calved out on the Cat. What are the odds?
Trails were amazing! I remember the beaver pond area and the rocky areas from the first(?) ATV fishing trip you shared.
35:30 - EXACTLY IGOR! Couldn't agree more!
Awesome video buddy! Loved it!
I know hey? We're not sure when the 4WD drive stopped working, it really hasn't been in any rough terrain awhile. Same with the winch, honestly can't remember the last time it was used? But hey, should be checking these things BEFORE the trip anyway lol. Atleast we managed to make it. We were at that first area where Jord got stuck for over 45 minutes.... was brutal lol.
I love these kind of trails... the ole ticker beats just a bit harder!
Thanks for watching and the comments as always Q.
What a great ride! Wish there was more places like this to ride where I'm at.
Hey! Thanks, assuming you're from So-Cal? Haha. Not much for riding or just this type of riding? Some real gems up here in Canada.
@@ElevationATV There's not much riding period. The majority of offroading here would be out in dry lakes, deserts, or sand dunes. But forested areas there's very little of and places to ride with water there's maybe 2 locations at the most.
@SoCal Outlander ATV Damn, that's not good! We have lots of sand pits and sandy areas here. Not my favorite places to ride... love venturing into the forests.
I'll be working on a new video shortly from this weekends past ride. Stay tuned...
What a bummer to not have an operating winch or your differential to lock when you need 4x4. But you guys were able to work together to get out of that jam in the mud. That spot there by the lake looked awesome! I look forward to part 2! Cheers man. A cold one off the trail hits the spot.
Yeah! No kidding... both issues on the Artic Cat were news to us! Mine was just jammed up or not wound back properly. I've already fixed that. Rolled it all our and wound it back up properly. Things you should do BEFORE heading out, am I right? 😆
Thanks for the comment and watching Ruben.
@@ElevationATV I have had my winch jammed up from not rolling it up properly. That is a pain to do. Things happen as it did in your trip, but it makes us wiser I always say. Take care buddy!
Great video and seems like a good fun adventure. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Awesome, thanks! Glad you enjoyed... its quite the adventure!
Had to stop listening at work and wait till lunch time to watch it. Those are some nice trails, like he said.. thats what ATVs are for... great vid man. can't wait for the next addition of the nail biter.
I think all the nail biting was in Part 1! It's always easier on the way out... but have some fun stuff for Part 2! Thanks for the comment and watch buddy.
@@ElevationATV don't want to rush you cause you will start bugging me... haha, where we ride is feets of snow.. thats meters to you. haha, cheers...
@@squatchinmt5317 Right on, I'm long ways away from editing our first winter ride haha. Might be spring by I get that one out... 🤔 😆😅
Awesome trail and good times thanks for sharing
Thanks John! Always a great trip... such an adventure from beginning to end. Thanks for tuning in!
Just bought a Kodiak 700. Come down to AZ some winter, be fun to ride in Canada with you all some summer.
You'll have fun, congrats on the new machine. That's a place I'd love to ride in one day, Arizona. Not sure my pasty-whiteness could haddle that though lol.
Thanks for the comments! 👊
Good video bud. Hope ya got some camping and fish catch in the next part. Cheers 🍻
Thanks buddy. Yeah, the ride in took so long and I really didn't want to take too much out of the adventure. So Part Two will have some camping, cooking, fishing and some of the ride out.
Cheers buddy, thanks for checking out the video and I appreciate the comment.
I was howling when you had the facepalm gifs going haha. Sweet trail, nice and secluded. Unfortunate with the artic cat troubles, but you still made it. Cool video, let's get part 2 going lol
Yeah I figured that was needed there because as soon as I backed into it and felt the back end sink in... that's EXACTLY how I felt! Lol.... Face Palm, bang head on desk? You get it lol.
Artic Cat is looking pretty "nude" these days, stripped down to the frame and getting a good checkup. I posted some pictures on my Instagram.
She'll be ready to roar again shortly!
Thanks for the comment and watching... appreciate it!
Great vid, we do the same here in NQ Australia. my saw has a 30 inch bar and sometimes that is not big enough. We run CanAm Max.
Oh wow, haha. This 18" is plenty for what we need it for lol. Austrailia hey? That would be a wicked place to go riding - even with all the critters lol.
Thanks for the comment and watch! Appreciate it.
4:51 🤣 Let the sh*t show begin.. lol Well done with the video ..
HAHA yeah, we got into the chaos sooner than I thought we would. Thanks for checking out the video and the comment! Appreciate it.
I just discovered your channel! Now im very interested on getting my
Own ATV
Hey thanks! Appreciate that comment, I'm happy to hear you're inspired to get your own. They're fun, nothing like getting off the beaten path for a day or two and enjoying nature.
@@ElevationATV hoping more contents come! Thanks buddy
@@gherpz Oh there will be. We have a few rides after this one still and video from all of it stored away until I can get to it haha. Thanks again.
34:21....sweet victory!! Awesome vid sir. One of these years I'll see you out there 🍻
I wasn't on many group rides this year. Where have you been out to this year?
Thanks for the comment and watching.
@@ElevationATV I actually didn't get out at all this past season.. I even got my machine all dialed in to rip, but sometimes life changes the plans a bit.. hope to get out once before the serious cold hits, but I did get myself a snow blade this yr so that could be fun.
@@LilSmoSmo WHAT?! Not once? That's too bad... but I get it. Life gets busy, I know that feeling.
We went for a winter rip just after that first snow fall. Was beautiful out there. Great day that I'll get to editing by spring at this rate (lol).
@@ElevationATV Looking forward to the next one! I have some spare time so might just get out for some fun this week while the temps are decent..
@@LilSmoSmo I'd love to get out for one more ride before winter really sets in. Just have to stay off the Snoman and ski trails but there are many other trails to ride (if snows not too deep).
Frig me buddy some fun eh love you videos
Appreciate the compliments! Yeah it's such a great trip.
What a great video. I love Canada. No big side by sides back in there. There are advantages to the atv's
You bet! Be pretty difficult in some areas fir the SXS's. Thanks for the nice comments!
Sure beats yard work! Even for Arctic cat owners. Enjoyed it thanks guys.
Sure does! Lol. Thanks for the watch and comment. Glad you enjoyed! Happy New Year.
Well, that Arctic Cat dude is gonna need to do some investigating into his 4x4! LOL "This is the easy spot!" 😉 Smart to scout out trails like that before just driving in! Spot #2 was worth the adventure!
We've learned from past trips to be cautious in that area lol. We've learned that when beavers are involved, the landscape changes frequently. So better to play it safe!
Artic Cat's already been looked at. Not sure if you follow my Instagram but I have some pictures of it stripped down. They looked so weird, those old & naked cougars lol.
Thanks for the comments buddy.
What a great ride, Im sure the fishing is worth it ! Thanks for sharing, Polaris is always saving the Artic Cats !
Even a bad day of fishing is still better than a day of work haha. Unless you fish for a living.
I won't comment as a Can-Am had to tow me out lol.
@@ElevationATV What ? You let a Can Am tow out your 570 ? Uggg, I love my utility edition cant believe it let you down !
@@Timr45_70 Yeah, I backed it right into the sludge. Immediately knew I was going to get stuck there haha. Might have been different if I had some momentum. I wasn't about to back further into that mess lol.
But yeah, been very happy with mine so far. We have thins.
@@ElevationATV Hey I meant to ask you where did you get the loops you hooked your winch hook on to ? It looks like you have two of them on your front rack , great idea.
@@Timr45_70 Honestly I just found them in the junk pile at work. They were powder-coated black so I figured mounting them there was a good spot. Can never have enough tie down spots.
Nice camp spot at lk tight trail in places . Ever fig out what went on his 4x4 has to suck happen on a trip .
Been lucky myself run cats for 14 yrs never had any prob and i do give it a work out . Sure look like going be a awseome trip for you guys 😎👍
Hey Norm, yes there was a damaged seal on the 4WD actuator. We actually had another ride after this that we had some issues with the 4WD as well.
We took the actuator off and tore it apart a couple of weekends ago and it was full of water. I believe my father-Inlaw already has the replacement. We just need to install and buttoner back up.
Thanks for watching and commenting buddy. 🙂
Looks like a great time!
Always! Only time we didn't have a great time was when it was +35 and wayyy too hot to fish haha. We had no wind at our campsite either so it was a little uncomfortable lol.
Thanks for checking out the video and the comment. I see you have a channel as well, I'm going to check out some of your stuff and Subscribe.
Cheers!
@@ElevationATV we’re looking to do some trips in Canada and your channel came up. We loved it!
@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean We have some beautiful trails all over Canada. Wherever up end up, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Nice video but I guess we could not go fishing with you as there doesn't seem to be wide enough trails for our RZR, lol!
Haha, yeah anything "off the beaten path" is pretty snug, even for an ATV in some areas.
Thanks for watching!
I have 400 km on mine i love it
What machine do you have?
First my rant lol Fing YT made it chopping on my end to watch and it was 1080p. Done
I’m surprised you guys didn’t have a beer after all the frustration of that cat being stuck …..don’t you know cats don’t like water lol 😂 but you guys got
through without too much blood sweet and tears .
I like this trail be a fun entertaining one . Some of my group likes this stuff and one doesn’t haha.
Yeah, I know. It bugs me... because the video on my computer that I edited is clean and looks fantastic. They just butcher it here which is really starting to get on my nerves. I spend alot of time making sure it's perfect before I export it so it's a let down for sure.
Haha yeah, Cat's and water. This was more of mud I guess? Honestly if he didn't get hung up on the stump he might have made it. Was WAY better than years past through there.
I love these trails, I could do this route or around there a few times a year. Lots more to explore too!
Thanks for watching buddy.
@@ElevationATV I heard they made my video look like junk too. I record in 4K and my screen is 5k and it looks so good, then YT makes it 1080p and then actually makes it look like 240 lol .
@@SCOTIAN_ I know, it's crazy. But I guess it's a free for us to use platform. It's still a little discouraging though.
Looks like a great trip you guys had there 👍
We sure did! Thanks for the comment. 👍
I know that sucked, but I was rolling lol
Haha yeah it was frustrating at the time but sure funny to watch it later. Many chuckles through the editing process for sure.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I appreciate it!
woohoo!you created awesome ,catch you later! )
Thank you!!
Fun stuff.. I've gotten buried like this with the dirt bike... can't imagine getting stuck with my wife's or my canned Spams
Haha yeah normally that spot is just wet, flooded but had a good bottom so passi g through is easy.
Obviously the terrain has changed over the years. Shouldn't have been an issue but the Artic Cat got hung up on that stump or whatever it was. The other three of us made it through no problem.
@@ElevationATV I don't really deal with mud very often in lower Michigan. Most of ours is sand and tree roots.
@zombanator3000 Lots of sandy trails here... infact most of the regular trails are mainly sand. I certainly don't look for mud! But sometimes we have no choice depending on where we're going.
@@zombanator3000 You have some nice trails down there?
@@ElevationATV I mean. Define "nice". Cause I've rode them for the past 16ish years. And their really the only trails I know... sandy, whooped out, roots, tight turns, with occasional down trees requiring either a reroute, a cut, or a new trail pushed out through the brush. I got some vids of the dirt bike trails on my channel if you wanna see them for perspective.
Great video! Really good stuff. Just a question, is it required to wear helmets in Canada? Even way out there? Or are you guys just smarter and safer than us Colorado goobers.
Haha, goobers. Yeah, we're required to wear helmets here. Even if we weren't, I probably still would! Especially on trails like these.
I don't wear one when riding/maintaining our trails, though. They're flat, short, and we don't/can't go fast on them.
Thanks for the compliment and checking out the video!
One thing you can do with those cats that I had to do before is take the servo off and manually shift it in the 4 wheel drive with your thumb and then put the server back on and then just leave it in 4 wheel drive.
I have read that. Maybe look at that if the new actuator kicks the bucket.
Nice video once again :)
How much KM is that ride ?
Thanks man, it's actually only about 11kms one way but takes a little over an hour to do if you have no issues.
@@ElevationATV 1h is not that much to enjoy that kind of adventure. I prefer going 10-20 km/h in a small trail than going 60 km/h in a bigger road
@MetalHead84 No it's not too bad. The technical aspect keepS us moving slow. Just my kind of trails though... so much more to be seen aswell. Hope to explore more out this way in the years to come.
Man, your editing is phenomenal. What program do you use? And what GoPro settings? Mine seem to pixelate a lot more when uploading to TH-cam.
You had to be covered in mud! Gotta hate when the machines aren’t working correctly and it disrupts your plans. Still better than being at work!
Awesome lake spot at the end. Beautiful!
I really appreciate that! Thanks! I spend alot of time toying around with different things to create a story out of what we recorded so it means alot when people notice it.
TH-cam pixelates and degrades alot of my stuff too, though I have found that some of my videos look better in some places than others. It's weird, when I'm at work they look terrible but when I'm at home they look good. Maybe its just the wifi connection? I don't know but TH-cam still rakes the resolution regardless.
I edit with Wondershare Filmora 11 currently. I like it, pretty user friendly. As for settings, I had my GoPro set at 1080 30fps, which I kinda goofed on. I meant to set at 1080 60fps.
Thanks for the comment and compliments. Gets me motivated to work on Part Two!
@@ElevationATV thanks for the info! Yes, I’ll be anxiously awaiting part two!
@@blaze_atv It'll be a bit yet. I only started sifting through the raw video and I've hit a creative bump, haha.
Winter really hasn't even begun yet here so I'm not worried.
Where is this?
I unfortunately can't say exactly. The people who have shared this with me would lynch me... lol.
Hi
Yo!
Those Arctic Cat 4 wheel drive system is the biggest pile garbage They should have just left it alone and kept the manual shift 4 wheel drive Like the older ones never had a problem. Even all newer bikes they all have stupid servo that always goes bad eventually Is it really that hard to manually shift it in the 4 wheel drive why would they ever change that.
I'm not all that familiar with how they used to be but this one is a 2011. We were pretty shocked at how little there was to the 4WD actuator when we had removed and opened it up. Didn't take much damage/wear for it to take on water which was the cause of it not working properly (obviously).
There was one more ride after this one that we had nothing but issues with it. But spoiler alert, it's all fixed up now and ready for the trails again.
