Pro tip for those that don’t know, when your vehicle is in drive, even when applying the brakes, the drive tire is always trying to spin, this causes slippage on slick surfaces mostly snow and ice. To avoid this put your vehicle in neutral and it disengages the drive tires and greatly reduces how much you slide and how well your brakes work. Lived at the top of a mountain for many years and it’s saved me a lot more than once. Good luck with your sets. Enjoy the day friend. 👍👍
@NonTypicalRacingАй бұрын
That's true.
@MuskratOutdoorsАй бұрын
It's strange. It go's against all of your instincts, but you are right. Same with not hitting the brakes. Almost impossible not to.

Yup, I have to use that trick couple dozen times a year on my long steep driveway.
@tallcedars2310Ай бұрын
Dang, I live in northern BC and your the first i've heard of this great tip. Roads are so slick this year, that even with tire chains vehicles are slipping. Thxs!

Good morning 🌞 Muskrat, I have a good feeling about you getting at least one wolf this season. Great things come to great people and you and Cindy are some of those great people. My wife and I are officially old folks now, we’re great grandparents. Little Caroline was born at 11:30 pm pacific time, December 15, 7 pounds 6 ounces, 20 inches long. Have a wonderful day and watch your topknots my friends 👍💪🙌🙏🌈✌️🐽🐷🐖

Good morning Gary, I keep looking for those elusive wolf tracks too. I'm hoping to get up to the north line soon. Sometimes there's more Wolves up there. The problem is that the days are so short and by the time I get up there, I don't get many sets out. Regardless, I will get up there. Normally tends to be more cats up there too. That sure was a beautiful view you showed at the end. Guys like us need that. If we were put into a city and given an office job, we probably wouldn't live a week! Have a good day my friend.

As for snowmobile iffin I had the energy, I would search up the old machines I use to own. The old 2 track 1 ski , skidoo. I had two of them. I seen and captured on 📷 bobcat. Just not as many as the bear. But late July was the last time I seen my big boar. Always a beautiful day to be in the Rockies. As for today I put a chili together in the crock pot as another snow front reported to be headed our way. Mountain man
