  1. Yesterday
  2. Not getting any better for us sledders. We might head up at the end of the week. Ski
  3. ha ha rental sleds - just reheated McDoubles (bought night before and refrigerated) wrap in tin foil , put next too muffler for one good pull up the mountain and all reheated for lunch- tastes even better with the view!
  4. He has tin foil so no need of the hot dogger. Just find a hot spot to set it on and don't wait TOO long to take it off.

    Yep BFG ATs for me too. 100,000kms no problem.
  7. sounds like you know more than me but i get great miles out of the BFG. not as good as the michelin ltx but not far off either
  8. Toyo are good tires. I love there winter tires. Cheaper then Nokia still has walnut shells in tread and they last. Gsi 6 or whatever they call them.

    Those tires don't typically go as many miles as one would expect. I sell quite a few Toyo Open Country AT3, good wear and smooth. Doesn't hurt to look.
  10. We used to run Hot Doggers (smaller unit than the Miff Pot). I think that the last time that I used that was one beautiful day when we were riding in + temps all day. It was tough going off-trail tho. Plenty of stucks I think. I had burritos in my [black] tank bag. When I put the burritos in the Dogger, they were both thawed, but didn't think much aboot it. We stopped at dusk for supper, and I made it aboot 100-200 meters and I was already sick! We were still 60 klicks from Halfway, and I had a hard time moving. Chums were playing and soon enough we were on the groomed trail for the last 45 klicks. I remember riding ahead slowly while they played. I got a ways ahead and stopped, shut the sled off, laid back on the sled and wished I was dead. I could hear noises in the bush beside me. I suspected that it was just sluffing snow, but it could have been a moose? I didn't care, I just laid there. After a few years of that - the novelty wore off, and I am just fine with dry goods packed for the day anymore. .
  11. Must have a Hot Dogger down in there... Must be your own sleds and nor fly/rent? .
  12. Sault Ste. Marie - Updates North of Sault Ste. Marie today for a full day of riding. Good snow-base and temperature was -3
  13. Last week

    Snows are coming off next week for me. We have more hours on the bike this week than the sleds all winter.

    My AT4 came with Goodyear Territory MT. Loud junk. For this winter I decided on Falken Wildpeak AT3W over the BFG KO2. The AT3W are an amazing tire so far. Deep lug and quiet on highway. Good in snow I encountered. And after driving through ice storm with my sled trailer a couple weeks ago where hwy 11 was a sheet of ice and high side winds I will not hesitate to recommend them as a winter use tire. I will use my Junk Goodyears up this summer.
  16. I agree but they are banned unless you live far enough north in Ontario. In south they use that new chemical salt that works down to minus 25 C or so. 30 years ago they never cleaned roads down to bare pavement. Everyone just drove according to conditions. Now today every one wants to blame someone else for thier actions or poor judgement calls. It's a sad world. I get truck some drivers that can barely back up on a good day. They rabbit hop backwards 😆. A little bit of snow they can't move. Then next guy that has more experience can make a gong show look easy 😎.

    Studs is what is needed. just drive in QC in a bad weather day and see those crazy buggers fly by you or pass on roads that are ice…lol Then pass the ones flipped over or in the ditch a few km up the road that assume don’t have studs.
  18. It's crazy! Here comes ice and snow we all been waiting for. 😆 Thanks for heads up on tires. Not much that help on ice though besides some good driving skills and a little bit of luck.

    I thought so too until I got turned around by heavy cross winds in flash freeze conditions at highway speed. First time ever and it made me realize that 80kph was way to fast to be out of control. Not to mention the fact that things could have gone bad had I hurt someone just because I unprepared. I'm all about some good snow tires these days. Cheap compared to the potential for disaster in my books. On to the weather.... just got the boats home, had a couple good days fishing on G-Bay and next week calls for all below zero days and 20cm of snow.
  20. Nope was to cheap to buy steel rims. Cheaper to just leave snow tires on. Rims I would need sensors too. Next time I am going for those all weather tires. All you really need and they are very good in snow.

    Mary lake opened up at the south end today. Still covered in the middle towards crown island. If the wind was stronger today it likely would have finished it. Hopefully the wind stays light and doesnt start pushing ice sheets into docks/boathouses. Clearwater lk still has a good covering but getting darker.
  22. My AT4 came with those stupid Goodyear Duratracs, So im riding my winters as much as i can. Ill probably buy the Bf Goodroch all terrains again. Great tire I just heard that. Frigging wild

    Where are you? We have a water access cottage in Port Severn and according to our neighbour, the lake is wide open as well. Unfortunately the township has cement blocks across the public launches. We still wont go up for at least a month though.

    Ice is now out on our lake - earliest its been gone in the 36 years we have had a place there.

    Are you that guy who drives around on black rusty steel rims all year? I cant believe how much nicer (and quieter) my F150 is with the original tires back on. I dont think I am even going to bother putting them on next year.
