Testing The Freedom Bus ON TRACKS!

[@jasonwtheis5921]

I bet that sand rail was a hoot! The track/ski combo wasn't nearly large enough to allow a machine that size to work on the soft stuff, but it would be a great trail runner. Dave cracked me up at the end when he walked away from it completely coated in spray.

[@TheBigburcie]

Make the tracks a foot wider then put a set of fenders in front of it to minimize the snow going forward and it should be great

[@RamminRanch]

That sand rail needs wider tracks

[@jdias51]

And wider skis

hell yea brother 🤙 so sick love these snowed in episodes 👌

[@donaldpruett852]

The flash point of gasoline is -50 degrees. That means at that temperature or below gasoline does not give off sufficient fumes to allow ignition. Rember that only the fumes burn, liquids do not. Thats why in Alaska and the arctic they wrap engines with blankets to reduce the effects of the extreme cold so they'll start.

[@cszulu2000]

Build a skirt or tent to trap heat next time....or build and insulate the fuel tank and engine compartment so you only need a low heat to keep Warm. Diesel antifreeze helps too.

[@post13]

Some curtains around the bus would help keep the propane heat in.

[@mauricioCerda-ow9wd]

This guy’s make my life very happy here in new york with all there out door activities

[@Lucky32Luke]

I wonder why snowcats have very wide tracks. Maybe the large surface=traction and not sinking into the snow has something to do with it?

[@petercornish9903]

To compact the "piste" ,the track, for skiing. Make nice wide passes and not overly compact the snow so that it becomes hard to set ski edges into, or hard if you should fall on it.

[@redux467]

Keep in mind theyre very heavy... and they operate on snow....

[@YarMahNarNar]

It’s all about spreading the weight. Like snowshoes for vehicles

[@Lucky32Luke]

Exactly. Also for grip since they are used to push snow away. My point as a civil engineer was that having so skinny tracks on a vehicle like the bus (heavy as F) or even worse on that so called Snowrail (overpowered as F) their fail could have been predicted. I am very disappointed to watch some guys inevitably very talented in making amazing machines but lacking some simple basics in physics. Alan is the most mind driven from the bunch. He knows physics not only mechanics. Maybe he is indeed a wizard. ;)@@YarMahNarNar

[@Lucky32Luke]

@@petercornish9903 Correct. The more surface area you can use the better to spread the weight and also to have more grip when pushing compacted snow forward. Not too hard to find out why was the Snowrail digging in and sink. Also I won't say the bus had so much success either. Nice shots but under so much weight those tracks are inadequate.

For future reference from an old school trucker… a tarp and some charcoal is your best friend when you can’t get a cold diesel to start. Wrap a tarp around the bottom and get some charcoal down to coals, throw it on sheet of tin and slide it under.
