Scary ATV Riding with 2022 Polaris Sportsman 570 vs 2021 Sportsman 570

Polaris ATV riding up a scary steep abandoned mining road to 8000 feet in search of the perfect ATV experience. We were riding two machines: a 2022 Polaris Sportsman 570 and a 2021 Polaris Sportsman 570. Did we make it to the top? Best ATV riding in British Columbia.

Also, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your supplies and preparation for this trip. Thank You!

[@timshields3377]

Thanks Joseph!

[@REALTOR8888]

As an ATV owner myself this gives me more prospective on its capabilties. Love your adventure. Keep it up. Thanks.

Thank you for making and sharing this experience with us .

[@ronhudson1161]

Stunning. Thanks for taking us along

[@sebastiancabot3378]

Love your existing and explaining the tools you use. We ride 570/850 Polaris and camp out in areas of The Ghram Mountains in Arizona. Dusty and can get wet. Thx for the video!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Wow! This was a stunning trip to say the least! Most excellent adventure and video taking us along for the ride! If you ever do a more 'basic' trail ride in the midwest I'd love to join in! I just slapped down my credit card for a new Polaris Sportsman 850! Once again, beatuful scenery, camera work and sketchy trail riding adventure! Thank you!

[@danielberry9610]

This video is incredible. Hope you decide to make more!

Thank you so much Eli!

[@tinoswelt]

Such a nice documentation. Completely underestimated!

[@sscraig2836]

The Cariboo Chilcotin definitely has some of the most beautiful scenery in BC. I recently purchased a small used atv and have explored a small section of the GRST Trail around 100 Mile House. I usually go solo and have a good kit with me. Just need to renew my PAL and get a chainsaw now. Cheers and enjoy exploring awesome places on your machine

[@QuadLifeATV]

This video is awesome! You did a great job putting it together. That trail is epic, would love to do it someday.

This is such a great video of a remote location and the photos were awesome too! When I go riding my ATV i carry all the same safety gear for my remote trips in northern Ontario. Thank you for posting this video.

[@timshields3377]

Thank you so much!

[@Scott-wr6hz]

How far can you ride on a tank of gas with your 570?

[@user-ol6du7eh7g]

about 100 miles...however if the machine has to work really hard it can be less for sure@@Scott-wr6hz

[@YosemiteJ]

Wow what an awesome trip! I'm inspired.

[@rgblackblack4883]

thank you thank you very much for the adventure of a lifetime God bless you and your spouse

One other peace of gear you could get is a helmet radio which lets you communicate just by talking in your helmet. I have the Sena 10s BT comm system and it works well for what you guys do you may want one with more range.

[@minnesotamudice6780]

fantastic video

[@marksjunction69]

I cannot believe some of the comments you received. People in general are unbelievable. Looks like an amazing place…..getting to 8000 ft on an ATV is rare. We mountain sled and ATV/SXS as well. I have helped get a body down the mountain, people don’t understand the unexpected things that can happen, so safety and gear is so important. I hope you carry a satellite communicator. Great footage….thanks!!!

[@quaddingsous]

I like your camping style! We prefer the backcountry camping also.- - - Chilcotin region? Is that the same area a season of Alone was filmed on Chilko Lake? - - - Yup, the chainsaw is always on our front rack too. It's a MUST HAVE indeed! - - - That wild flower field was amazingly beautiful! - - - WOW, what an amazing adventure! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Really nice job on the editing and narrating! - - - I was very much into nature photography when I was younger. Now I'm filling my retired life with "expeditions"/adventures on my ATV.

[@timshields3377]

Thanks for your detailed comment. Yes, this is the Chilcotins and I love this part of BC. We camped at Mud Lake on this trip and went riding from there. Chilko Lake is in the same region. I made a video about grizzly bear photography at Chilko Lake. We were there while Alone was being filmed in September 2020. Here is that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6msdZ2lrJd3i6M

[@russellhamner5150]

Can’t stop watching… I’d love to do this

[@sonlife915]

This was great! Very similar to a place called Taylor Park, Colorado. Loved it! Where exactly did you go? Assuming there was no cellular connection there? How do you like those Sportsmans? Ever had another brand? If so, good? bad?

[@juanjosepresillapuente3480]

que bonito video gracias por ta maravilloso viaje

[@factionfx]

Great video Tim! A couple gear change ideas that might make your trip easier. #1, different tires on those machines. Something with more plies like BearClaw HTR would be more puncture resistant. The sidewalls are very stiff, I'm convinced you could ride them back flat and not even know it. I punctured a sidewall in those factory polaris 489's (pinch flat from rocks like you are on) and will always put aftermarket tires on machines from now on. Also since you have the same machines, consider 1 spare rim and tire that you can leave at the truck should you have a major problem...that way it won't alter subsequent days if you get sidewall damage. Then you can leave the air pump at home, but there is a way less change of actually using it. I personally run sunfA033 (maxxis bighorn pattern) but i only trail ride and not in as much rocks as you. #2, For the tow strap, a piece of 10 or 20ft synthetic 3500lb winch line...basically 1/4" rope, way easier to store. #3, I would probably make a custom quick release chainsaw mount with as much as you used it in this video! Take care and thanks for sharing with us!

[@timshields3377]

Very sage advice. Sounds like you have seen some serious duty. Your point are well taken! I want those tires!

[@silenteyes-rp6ij]

I feel the same way. but must say after winning a 450h.o 2017 in a draw and really trying to kill it before the extended 4yr warranty was up. It never let me down on trail, only had an electronic issue that was just bad ground & just brought it in last week for leaking front diff & front links.. for how hard I've rode it I can trash talk it , considering almost every time out I've had to go back & pull out a 650 or a sxs..

[@PikeSlayer69]

[@Ax8888]

So sick!

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

How has reliability been with the Polaris? Any issues of note? Also, why select the smaller 570's and not the bigger 850 or 1k cc machines? I think I know the answer, but am curious of the response.

[@jasond1245]

Ford truck and Polaris ATVs you are brave man

[@mikequyl8754]

So cool looks beautiful atv can go just about any. We’re your brave enough to take them

[@ramonmilam4373]

What was your camping location?

[@reshurc]

Was just thinking, that looks an awfull lot like my Sportsman. What year is the Touring? I have a 2018 myself. Use if mostly as an allround machine. Plowing in the winter and such. Some small adventures here and there. Awesome machine, but it has a lousy voltage regulator that is having a hard time dissapating the heat when under load. But I love it, comfortable, reliable, and get's you anywhere you need to be.

[@mrwoodrow]

Today bought a friends 2018 Sportsman EFI with plenty of extras. He def had some E trouble and was in the shop. Glad to know you like yours. My older one was a 2008 500 HO. Sold for $4K USD 3 days ago. :)

[@RC.56]

Do you feel there’s a big difference between a touring and standard? Two seat vs not

[@timshields3377]

No big difference. I really like having the touring so I can double a passenger safely.

[@slawdogshenanigans]

Awesome video and a trip some would say of a lifetime. One thing I’m curious is if you had any cell service deep in those hills and valleys at all. Reason I ask this is things could happen and having an emergency way to call to someone outside your location could be detrimental. You figure someone driving to your spot could take a day. Most likely would need a helicopter. A Satellite phone with having no cell service would be ideal. Did you have any form of being able to call someone in case of an emergency?

[@timshields3377]

Great question! There is no cell phone service up there. We had Starlink back at the truck but that would not help in an emergency. I keep a Garmin InReach with me which can send out a text by satellite. I forgot to show it in the video....

[@Scott-wr6hz]

How many miles can you ride on a tank with a 570?

The craziest thing you did was pull that little single axle trailer 10 hours with two 4 wheelers.

[@bigjay6743]

Honestly instead of all that stuff you're better off to have patch kit and a few tire tubes and tire spoons. Sometimes the holes just too big to plug.

Moto vehicle prohibited area. FYI you saw no one else up there riding because the mountain you went up is restricted to drive any motor vehicles on, that was illegal. It was definitely illegal to be driving around the tops of ridges off trail like that too....

[@andypair1571]

9:21 deep mudhole followed by "trees you cant get around" you couldnt ride with me. I could kinda tell that by the intro tho

If you Get sum 1" wheel spacers and 26"x9" big horn style tires these atvs will side hill and climb anything the big ones will np. Seriously Any tires are better than those stock ones, night & day difference.

Thank you for the video. Fyi, the 12 gauge won't stop a grizzly!!! Ide get a large caliber hand gun. 454 Catskill or a high power rifle, 7mm 300 win mag or 300 ultra mag. I'm just saying. God bless

[@stevenmiddagh6265]

A 12 gauge will stop a grizzly. Depends on what round u shoot.

[@bobdavis874]

There in Canada no handguns

[@ryanvansoest1942]

Loaded with 3" or 3 1/2" magnum sabot slugs and 00 Buckshot there isn't much better for speed of pull and stopping power than a 12 gauge defender shotty for close range bear defense especially here in Canuckastan seeing how we're not aloud to carry a handgun.
