We pulled the alot of the materials for a cabin reno up to the dome mtn with 800summits. One trip was 800lbs of concrete blocks in a skimmer, this was a rough trail that hadn't been groomed in a long time too:) Another trip was a log bunk with 40 16' 2x4s on it and the ass end dragging. The...

I have a pair of horses. The chubby young guy is me on the horse I got from a rescue center. She is very well broke, but some has some behavural issues that I am working on and hopefully she will be ready for a new home soon. The older fellow is my 76 year old grandfather on his 3 year old...

Started out as a junior member of the Smithers Snowmobile Association when I was 5, now I run the annual raffle. Of the 160+ members, maybe half of the local sledders, the same 20 people do all the work. I know running the raffle, the same 4 people have helped me, while almost every other...

I have been using Quickstraps for 9 years and would never get rid of them. I have two sets of straps and I had to shave a little off of one of them to make it easier to take the button side off, but my newer straps were good from the beginning. I would watch what you use to stick the velcro...

All my riding is local, I never drive much over half an hour to get to the hill. There is 6 main trail heads in my area, plus a whole lot of less common ones. Two are plenty big for 4place enclosed trailer, two are marginal, and the others are either a bloody pain or impossible to even get...

When I was a kid my dad used to take me up the mountain. I would ride his old 583 long tracked MXZ. One day I parked it next to his truck while I took some gear off and he loaded his sled. He loaded his sled and decided to load the MXZ. Well, he had replaced the throttle cable the day...

I believe there has to be a management plan in place before the government can be involved.

All good questions. 1. I am not sure. I believe every local club charges the same amount for a trail pass, no matter what association you belong too, but I could be wrong since I don't travel much and do not get involved in that part of the club's activities. 2. I have heard that the BCSF...

I am sorry that you took it that way, but I have been an active member of my local club since before I had my drivers license and I have personally seen the BCSF ignore land use issues in my area, even when they have been near their own head office. Not too mention the fact that there is a...

One of the reason's that the ABC is so strong is that the BCSF wouldn't help most clubs with land use or any other government related issues. The government might go to the BCSF, but all the BCSF does is pass the buck down to the local club's volunteer executives. I guess the paid employees...

I know exactly what you mean!

Just a little dusting. Mostly between the tailgate and the deck. I have been thinking about adding a rubber flap above the tailgate, but I don't see the point for the little bit that gets underthere.

My dad has a post and beam shed with an open front that he keeps his boat and deck in. He built a H beam that sticks 8' out the front of the shed. He then mounted a chain hoist on a trolley and made up chains the hook onto the 4 corners of the deck. It works great because he can take his...

I am close to 1000 miles and am hoping to get atleast one more ride in. Last year was 1800miles, so I am little behind. Poor snow + poor weather + poor work schedule = poor sledding season:(
