FIRST Snowmobile RIDE 2024 | Haliburton Forest Snowmobiling

Ride with us on an exhilarating journey as we embark on our first snowmobile ride of the season through the stunning trails of Haliburton Forest. We're thrilled to take the 2024 Ski-Doo MXZ X-RS 137 850 e-tec and the trusty 2018 Ski-Doo Renegade 850 e-tec for a spin, pushing these machines to their limits.
🔧 TECH UPGRADES & NEW GADGETS! 📷
Experience the latest in snowmobile technology with the BRP hand guard signal lights, adding both style and functionality to our ride. We've also strapped on the DJI Action Camera and the Insta 360 One X2 to capture every twist and turn of this unforgettable adventure.
👫 MEETING FRIENDS ON THE TRAILS! 🤝
While cruising through the winter wonderland, we unexpectedly bump into some familiar faces! Polaris Ambassador Nunz and Lisa Whiteman from Let 'er Dangle Riding Co. zoom by, adding an extra layer of excitement to our day.
🛠️ CHALLENGES ON THE TRAIL! 🚨
Not every moment was smooth sailing. We encounter a few challenges along the way, including a disconnected Ski-Doo E-Linq cable that we quickly fix to keep the helmet from fogging. Witness a heart-stopping snowmobile fail as a fellow rider crashes into a tree, and towards the end of the day, the 2018 Ski-Doo goes into limp mode after blowing an injector. Despite these hurdles, we persevere and make the most of the adventure!
🏞️ SCENIC LOOKOUTS & DELICIOUS DINING! 🍽️
Throughout our 100km journey, we explore two breathtaking lookouts, taking in the picturesque winter landscapes. To refuel, we indulge in a delicious dinner at Boshkung Smokehouse, conveniently located right on the trail.

Those trails look awesome

[@mudbrats]

they were pretty good! great spot to dust the cobwebs off for the season

[@greglyford5700]

Another great vid! You really got the tech dialed in. Great cam angle, love to see the gauge, and nice crisp audio. I love my Oxygen helmet but always carry a set of goggles and extra balaclava just in case. And always have a ratchet come along. Sucks to manhandle a sled into a trailer!!

[@mudbrats]

Thank-you! I really do spend a lot of effort in getting my video and audio tight, but its tech so have a couple of videos coming out that i am not overly please with, but thats technology! Thank you you for dropping a comment!

[@1decee]

Those trails should be one way

[@mudbrats]

Yeah some of them should but then they would double there grooming and maintenance on trails and bigger impact on the forest. It is a wildlife reserve so I think they try to be responsible. They actually limit it to 100 sled permits a day.

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

cool video!! no snow here in espanola ontario !! wish there was snow .I will never ever buy another new sled with the winters we are having!! 1 ride so far 55kms thats it Dont really want to go back to timmins this year !! too many mental drivers and everyone just flies up there met alot of people last year going warp 9 just stay on your own side of the trail man 2024 seems like the winter that never happened!! Hopefully get some snow soon!!

[@mudbrats]

This is an El Nino winter so was expecting it to be bad. You cant just buy a sled for 1 season, I always try to think multiple years. Who knows, next winter could be awesome

[@cbjustdooit5934]

this could be used as an advertisement for Ridelites

[@mudbrats]

I wish we could convince people to use these some more. We can count on 1 hand how many signal lights we have seen out there in 5 different rides 🥺

[@hermitrob5481]

Just went for our first time today as well in the Rangeley, Maine area. I guess it's the other El season we like.

[@aljdark]

Gary - another great video buddy. I love all your stickers and your numbers. Do you have someone that you order all those through. I just picked up a 24 Lynx Rave and I need to put numbers on it - i love your style and color - would look great on my sled. Can you help put me in the right direction - what font did you use??

[@mudbrats]

Hey thanks so much! I do all my numbers and wraps - email me [e-mail]

[@Aleks-gt1ki]

Can’t wait to get out there! Sled is all ready to go, just need some snow.

[@mudbrats]

they are grooming right now and its in decent shape

[@Aleks-gt1ki]

[@coreybrock6333]

At this rate may have to grad a cabin there for a night

[@mudbrats]

@@coreybrock6333 elnino is shifting toward mid/end of feb. We may get a couple more days on the trail

[@ronknapp9556]

Good video. I was wondering what do you using for communicators you sound good?

[@mudbrats]

Uclear Motion Series. Battery lasts all day and then some and the range is good as you can see in my videos

[@NJ-jj8os]

😊ok , I was in the forest the same day I think, and pretty sure I had to dig that same lady out after her going into the forest, I think a 1200 Yamaha ? Super heavy. Love the forest have a season pass!

[@mudbrats]

Yeah that’s the sled. She was trying to learn, but I think is on the wrong machine for her. She didn’t/couldn’t even countersteer or touch brake. Right into the tree. I didn’t know cam was rolling and when I seen her fly off I thought the worst. So happy she is ok and laughing about it. The forest is great, season pass well worth it, I just kinda wished they groomed that weekend but I think being opener, they just let it go.

[@matthew5542]

Woo! About time!!

[@mudbrats]

thankyou 🤘😎

[@tylermcintosh7542]

Hey! Do you have the full video of my 1100 running over the tree? Lol

[@mudbrats]

What more do u need to see, that is the video?

[@joelaichner3025]

They should put flip latches on you hand guards , similar to the quick release on bicycle rims , and you could adjust them with no tools

[@mudbrats]

Good idea - we dont really move them once riding but we just installed the lights so they were a little off kilter

[@Jakefromstatefarmtv]

So jelous lol im just waiting on new coolant temp sensor so I can get out there too, hope to see you guys out and about those trails 🤟

[@mudbrats]

Definitely wave us down. Hope u get it fixed before winter 2.0 comes 😎

[@Jakefromstatefarmtv]

Yessir couple days and my part will arrive (hopefully) lol And definitely will 🤟

[@trevorlarsen7465]

How did you pull the codes? Did you press and hold M button and rapidly press the high beam button?

[@mudbrats]

yes… hold mode and rapid fire high beam

[@Kq750.]

How many close calls?? Was it a weekend??

[@mudbrats]

Yeah the second day it was open and a Sunday, they limit the number of sleds to 100 permits each day which is good, but it’s such a small area you run into the same people all day. I could of shown way more ass-hattery from people, it I often get people spotting themselves in the video so that wouldn’t be good. It actually doesn’t feel busy when you are there. My comment about the one sled going too fast is because it’s really a family area. A lot of wives and others learning to ride. No need for a Boost to thunder past at 104mph In a posted 35 zone. 🥺

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Can be like the Wild West in the Haliburton forest.

[@northwash]

Please for the sake of us colour-blind guys don't give up hand signals! Lol.

[@mudbrats]

crap thats a really good point!!!!! 🤔

[@joelaichner3025]

Feels like more power , quicker reaction , did you switch to an Ultimax Belt ? Might explain things

[@mudbrats]

its a new sled for me…. And the 2018 got a new track and studs. this is before we got the new belts

[@joelaichner3025]

@@mudbrats new sleds are nice , but I enjoy my old sled , open the hood , and lick the belly pan , new sleds , figure out how to open the hood pieces , and then hire a tour guide to find the belly pan , they just pack everything in now , you see nothing , and the new cat , bring tools to change a belt , no tools , extra belt , still stranded
