It's not too far away....
...or too far in the bush.
As stated , I wouldn't cut the tracks untill I had to. Maybe pull the axles. Do a google earth look and determine if there is a road closer. Ordinance map recce to assess the ground, time and space constraints. Two or three serious off - roaders on dirt bikes confirm that the routes are good. And now the good part: two or three carriers to ferry the recovery crew and tow the cripple out. I know a few land rover -types that would start to quiver if you proposed an expitition like this.

Pete,
Thanks, I`m glad someone was able to get some use out of it. If you go on to "My first carrier" in this forum, at reply #15. I have included a few of the pictures of when my carrier was pulled out. A tractor, and a truck with a tilt trailer, with a winch. It went sooth and quick. My friend Pete did the organising. I did the paying! Doug

hey doug i checked out your recovery, a little nicer than what ive got myself into but good to see the process. my friend and i both work for a mobile crane company, he is and operator and I am a licensed crane/truck mechanic. we half the access of a float trailer and a truck to haul it. and the means to get everything out now. now we just have to find the time.
will post pics and video when the time comes. i still have to get the pics for the carrier as it sits right now. thanks Pete

Well the snow has hit here in Cardiff/Bancroft area and most likely be the same for the Haliburton area as well. We got about 3-4" yesterday and last night and it's been comming down quite heavy tonight as I type this, and I just checked outside and looks like another 3 to 5" has fallen up till now and supposed to snow all night
