Letting my grandpa know I made it to the first big hill with no problem.

I was taught that you take the front pad and add 1” and that should be close to what the bear would square out to. Thoughts on that, Ryan.

Soon as I got home from Edmonton today I jumped in my truck and took off up the highway to pick up my old 550. I walked out to it with a new clutch in a backpack and brought it back to to some maintenance before fall. It sat since early June 2022 and luckily bears didn’t touch it the whole time.

Can see the windshield here. Good little walk and some quick mechanics. Nice to get back to the wilderness after 8 days in the city.

I brought some oil for the Rust. Fired up in about 5-6 pulls and still sounds good.

My truck handled the load no sweat.

You have some REALLY polite bears there. I doubt that I could have pulled that trick off without a lot of "bear heartache!"

Did you have the track off the ground?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Surprising the bears didn’t destroy it for sure Pete. I’ve had two, a bravo and a 440 Polaris destroyed by bears after leaving for a single night so not sure why this time they left it alone but I’m not complaining one bit.

Tracks had two drift logs under it Boco

Ok. Big hill muskrat. Got it. I know the locations but unsure of some place names.

I am amazed your sled didn't get destroyed by bears in that amount of time! Glad you got lucky.
