Icy Hill - ADV Recovery

Riding late in the season has some unique challenges. We were having an unusually warm fall/winter so far, and we rode far later in the year as a result. We rode for an hour or so without any drama, then slid down this icy two-track. It wasn't exactly a skating rink, but it was just icy enough to cause us some grief. Luckily, my van was a short distance away, and I had a bunch of rope, carabiners, and two small pulleys. Once we got my bike up the hill, I went to get the recovery gear.

When you are fighting the seasonal riding depression with all your heart...

[@CamelADV]

It's the same thing every fall.

[@norcaldroneworks3299]

Your videos are the bomb. The shit you do on a T7 is respectable. Good job.

[@CamelADV]

I'm glad to hear you enjoy them!

[@davidmaynard1422]

Awesome video! Rides like that, and days like that are tough, but we keep coming back for more. Reminded me I need to start carrying a tow rope again. Have a lot of respect for your riding skills and Camel products.

The challenge is the fun ;)

Don't count on that restart button too many times. Mine failed the first time I did need it. The battery was less than two years old. Anti gravity was supper cool about a replacement

[@CamelADV]

I've had to use it a few times, so far so good.

I have GOT to get a pulley and rope. I went on a ride with someone a few weeks ago and we were fighting my Tenere out of a valley…just rocks and mud for us, no ice.

[@CamelADV]

A strap for going around a tree, a long rope, 2 pulleys, and 3 carabiners is what is in my usual kit. We had a bit more rope this time around.

[@Drzzlt]

@@CamelADV im curious, whats the third carbiner for?

[@oic1968]

Long day 🙂

[@CamelADV]

It took a few hours to get up 50 meters of trail.

Someone should make studded boots. This stuff would be 10 time easier if we weren't sliding around trying to push.

[@CamelADV]

If we could have pushed, we likely wouldn't have needed the ropes at all. I've got slip-on hiking studs that would likely have for over my riding boots. They don't do much good when they are at home though!

[@josephwilliamsiv]

Excellent video! Any more info on the pully system?

[@CamelADV]

The grey rope is a 1/4" synthetic ATV winch line. Everything else is climbing gear. I don't have anything more specific than that.

[@josephwilliamsiv]

@@CamelADV Roger! Will ask my climbing friends and report back if I get any good info.

[@samhill3496]

Good one be prepared for pure shit

[@davidcolinfisher1034]

What were you thinking?

[@thebung841]

What is your hand guard brand? And how i order from Thailand

[@NB22222]

Do you prefer to run your plastics and no crash bars on the t7 or qould you like to install some eventually? Planning on picking up a tenere soon but theres so many mixed reviews on the products out there

[@CamelADV]

I prefer to not use crash bars. The weight alone is a good reason but I like the look of the bike with no bars on it. It's nice and lean.

[@NB22222]

@@CamelADV do you run any type of sliders?

[@tomfagro6744]

What was the name of the tool kit?
