Lol yeah, didn't want to get gas on his hands! We usually never drop gas at the cabin, just stop long enough to sign in and out. Oh well, live and learn.

Shouldn't have to live and learn. Used to be a code on the hill....

Anything is possible, but I doubt it. My jerry was not sitting in a big group or even near a bunch of other cans. Mine and a buddys 20L of RG sitting side by side. come back at the end of the day and the 20L still there, but only a divot where mine was. Highly unlikely it was an "honest mistake".
Seriously thinking about giving up on sledding. Worry bout your truck all night at the hotel and belonging at the parking lot all day. Now on the hill.
Never was this way 20 years ago. Sold two sleds tonight, another 2 to go or maybe them all.

These comments always make me laugh, they steal your stoke? now that sucks. Do I need to mention all the crappy things happening everyday? But life goes on, you drive? Cars stolen and broken into, you over driving?
Lock your stuff, everything, stash your gas somewhere other than right on the trail, buy insurance and ride. If a few things get stolen and that is to much for you, more powder for me.

Guess my stokes gone, it was strong in 80's, 90's but after some health issues in 2011 its pretty much gone I'm realizing this winter. Not just the fact of people being dishonest, its also working to sled which Ive done in BC 29 years, now Im working to spend time with my young family, and to pay out my investments so I can retire much earlier. Rather be riding at home with my daughter anyways than living out of a suitcase on my days off, and working my butt off all week prior to do it. Yep, more powder for you, surprised after 30 some years of hard core mountain riding you haven't had a low moment yet

Fair enough if life has made you change plans, it sounded like theft was the reason. For me, the stoke burns strong, for now. I am sure it will be my body that gives up first, haha. Till then, it's dumping! I am STOKED

I'm starting to feel the exact same way, so your not alone. Sledding is definitely not what it was 10-15yrs ago, imo they were the best years in sledding. Today its way to easy for people to get into the sport so you get too many undesirables out there.
Though i completely understand people being stoked about the sport especialy those fairly new to it which is a larg percentage as we can see in the amount of sleds out there compared to a few years ago.
Personaly now there is something about being home and enjoying quiet time at home with family. Thats a big change compared to putting in 50-60 rides a season, plus guiding.
I haven't even been out yet this season and not in a hurry to get out. Though i've been out on 6 SAR's outing for other's in December.....maybe thats part of the problem.
Yes Lund I am not giving up on sledding entirely, but considering heavily not maintaining specific to sledding trucks and trailers, the hundreds of liters of fuel and parts each weekend , the 20+ thousand dollar sleds and insurance. Maybe a nice sunny spring BC ride each year or two with my little girl as she needs to experience it also before all the non compliant riders get the areas taken away. I have had up to as many as 30 sleds in my possession at one time and maybe I flooded my enthusiasm. Looking more forward to small club and antique rides/rallies close to home. All I know is my ride time lately on my turbo is not enough to warrant the POW. 5 to 10 years ago I would have bet big bucks I would never of stated this.

I am hearing you, I much rather ride closer to home than driving 4 hours to the mountains on bad hi-ways, uncomfortable motel beds and then find out your favorite riding area is pounded out or it is snowing so hard you can't see 2 feet in front of you. I am getting to the point I would rather spend the money on a sunny winter vacation. Must be getting old LOL
A buddy of mine who has been into hot rodding for 45 years once heard me talking about the "good old days" that I never knew (I'm still in my 20's) and he laughed and told me "These ARE the good old days."
It made me think about how as people we're never content with what is, and then a couple years down the road we're only content with what was.
Sorry your fuel got jacked. There's always one dick in the crowd.

I get it if someone is out of gas and trying to make it down and uses your gas to make it but to steal the whole thing is low.

Even just taking the gas is a real dick move.You ride all day and show up at the gas drop on fumes knowing you got enough to make it to the parking lot.....

We were at Chappel on Dec 27th and came back to the stand of trees right before the trail down starts.
Big empty hole where one of my riding partners jerry can was.
It was coming down heavy so we must of just missed the guy that stole it.
Buddy rides a turbo so good thing it was socked in that day and riding was limited because he is usually empty by that time.
Also runs different fuel with the turbo.

Maybe time to put a bad can out to be stolen. Easy to find the guy then he will be the guy on trail with engine gone. Only thing is some honest guy that's stuck may take it pay for it and then loose an engine. I guess 1/2 water 1/2 gas would just make it run like ****.
Just the mention of this might make some ppl hesitate taking it when they read this, cause it might be bad

Interesting, i've been sledding since the mid 70s. Actually bought my first sled in 1976 new but started on loaner sleds in 74 in Quebec. I moved to BC in 76 and tookup the sport sledding.
In all the years i've been doing this i have never had issues with being ripped off, especially in the hills. Like someone already mentioned, there is a CODE sledders pretty much go by and i've witnessed it.
But today people are not like that, they buy sleds on credit, take up a sport that they honnestly cannot afford and steal from others to gain what they cannot afford.
6 years ago while i was guiding a group from the U.S., we got back to the vehicles and some aszwhipe ripped off my loading ramp for my deck. The American sledders helped me loadup and it sure was an eye opener on the type of new breed out there.
I have heard of few getting their fuel ripped off but never experienced it my self. Though i carry my fuel now no if or buts from stories i have heard....too bad, it honnestly was never that way......in the old days.
