[@George1mac]

They will take it down and reassemble it on the new site....same way they do log cabins here in the States.....they build the cabin on site and mark each log to position and then they take it apart and ship it to the site where it will be permanently placed and the whole process of re assembly takes place.

That Gator 🐊 is the best ATV ,For your part of the woods . Cool 😎. 👍🏻

[@samvittoria9692]

When the weather gets nice you need to pull off the doors on the Gator and have someone paint the Survival Russia logo on them. That would look awesome.

[@irony8908]

"Survival Russia" logo is actually slightly edited Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class. Great Patriotic War is the name of the eastern front of WW2 from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It was awarded for heroic deeds in combat. Probably not something one would paint on a vehicle since many Russians know what it is and it could be interpreted as stolen valor.

[@irony8908]

Also s in SR looks stylized similarly to the one Waffen-SS used in their logo with Armanen runes. Even slight connection like that could cause some problems, since Russians still feel deeply about WW2 sacrifices and loses, which were enormous. Come to think about it, not the best choice of the logo on Larses part all in all.

Exactly right, difficult terrain, you pulled forward of the turn, and then backed your change in direction. That is how you do a track in difficult terrain.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Yes, heavy turns should be done in reverse if possible.

[@V8Tomek]

Lars who cares about Ferraris, Bugattins and Lamborghinis when you have "The Gator". Man looks like you have one hell of a good time. Love the video dude ! Greetings from Slovenia !"

[@danielsjacobs]

I have been following an English "tuber" paddling and camping around a Canadian Park. The scenery is beautiful but ultimately, the content is tame. Lars, don't change anything. Keep on keeping it real and you will remain the top watch in the outdoors category. Love it!

I can't get over how cool that thing is ! 😄

[@genericfakename8197]

Reminds me of driving around '60s rustbucket cars around Saskatchewan in winter. Keeping a a half century old vehicle alive in -30c is definitely more fun with a friend.

[@dalecybulskie7242]

Maybe the modern gators that were marketed to mining,logging and power companies had the option of scheduling the bulk of their operations in no snow or after temperatures really dropped thereby avoiding what I call packing snow that seems to build up on the inside of the tracks.Obviously an active military didn't have this option and weren't concerned as much with the buying price of the vehicle that would have to increase with optional ice cleaners that were a necessity for their all weather operations.I like the way you're progressively getting a feel for what the gator is capable of while looking out for what it is not.After all we both know any vehicle can get stuck or throw a track and that video is one that would be less than awesome.Your instinct about when to use your various vehicles,and when to park them has served you well so far.Well done Lars!

[@Gloriosus]

Love your pre heater, Lars. Proof that if you don't cheat, then you aren't trying hard enough.

[@GrumpaGladstone1809]

So many great things came out of 1967, BBC Radio One, that Bigffoot footage, and....The Gator!!! :)

Compote is a berry water drink im Ukrainian and we make it too. It's absolutely delicious.. you just boil water with a bunch of berries, strawberries, blue berries raspberries and apples then just add sugar to taste :)

[@donniev8181]

The gator looked great going under the railroad! Looks as though it drives and handles like a dream in the snow! Thanks for these gator videos, God bless.

[@Anvilshock]

"It's already steaming!" - Brilliant idea, Lars, a mobile banya! Drive around the settlement and charge people to have a steamer! Also, seeing the camera lie there in the cabin, maybe a cigarette lighter socket would be handy, to charge all sorts of electronics.

[@General_Confusion]

It's a 2.5 meter road now Lars. The problem with moving a log house is that you have to take it down from the top and put it up from the bottom. In between you just have a big pile of logs.

[@SurvivalRussia]

You have a big stack of numbered logs. It's a pretty normal procedure around here.

[@johnstanley3742]

[@goofyleo3869]

Hellz yeah!! Gator having fun in the snow!! 🤘

[@Cobourg01]

To prevent snow buildup in your tracks, avoid operating the gator right after a snowfall. New snow has sharp, sticky crystals and clumps easily because it's relatively warm. If you wait a day or two, the snow will "transform" by becoming harder and less sticky.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

[@pierremarasse8548]

As your confidence in the gator grows, so does the potential for adversity. In Canada, we love to get stuck, because the real thrill is in getting out. Learning the capacity of your vehicle requires pushing the limit, which is fine when help is a phone call away. Totally respect your situation where prudence is essential, in keeping with the philosophy that preparation and anticipating potential pitfalls, can make the all the difference.

[@GAR85120514]

[@WayPointSurvival]

That trip was a lot of fun. Beautiful, snowy scenery and a powerful machine to take you there. Thanks for the video!

[@bottomrung5777]

For the ice/snow build up just take a long pike/bar along that has a chisel-shaped end and when needed just chip out the stuff between the wheels on bottom, then move a tank length to chip out the bottom track again. Thus you remove top and bottom for a while of trouble-free driving.

[@SurvivalRussia]

We actually always drive with at least one long crowbar. We used it for that exact purpose a few times. Anyway, the track links stayed clean from snow after they had been "polished" a bit :)

[@fumastertoo]

Hey brother, glad you got the Gator out for a spin. You gotta be the talk of the town with that awesome vehicle. I'm a big fan of tracked vehicles, due to their "go anywhere" abilities. Thanks for sharing the fun, and have a great upcoming weekend.

I must admit, when I first saw the Gator I thought it was just a silly self-indulgence.... but now it's obvious that it's the perfect vehicle for your incredibly rugged terrain. It handles most everything you throw at it so easily, and looks so light on it's feet for what it is, I see now that it's actually an excellent vehicle for the application. Go Gator! :-)

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Lars, It's fantastic to see you, your mate and The Gator make a real expedition over new ground where you discovered the benefits of having a tracked vehicle that can 'make its own road'. Seeing that huge heater in The Gator reminded me of old WW2 documetaries about how the Germans had to light fires under their tanks to get them going in the Russian winter. While Russian vehicles had engine 'warmers' built in. Awesome! The Gator was certainly a great investment. All the best to you, your family and friend for the New Year. Cheers, BH

[@MichaelR58]

[@SurvivalRussia]

[@passerby9123]

Survival is always faced with limtations, degrees of difficulty and boundaries and borders, beyond which the problems become far greater. Wanting, willfulness and trying to please others always wants to press on, asap, and yet even the gator, tank, has its limitations and its great to see you assessing and trying to anticipate when one of its borders has been reached. As you have said many times, the first tool of survival is a brain, and the second tool is described by how you use the abilities of the first tool.

I had to like the video after the improvised heater but loved the video after the apple juice break.

[@semco72057]

The ATV you have is nice and I hope the engine heater will be repaired soon so it can perform as specified by the company making it. The house your friend wants to move have to be taken apart using a crane, and loaded onto a log truck and moved to the new location. If the trucks have to move over the railroad tracks in the area I hope there is a place where the trucks can cross safely and not damage the logs.
