Hey guys a trick we used to keep out track vehicles from getting stuck to the ground in the winter is to park them on logs so you have very little contact with the ground
💯 agree! I was thinking a couple of planks, if a track machine is going to be left for longer than overnight we well run the machine up on a couple of boards, even jus short blocks work so long as most of track is off ground
Greetings from Kenai Peninsula Alaska.
With the weight distribution of the tracks, you could use pallets. Just a suggestion. They are burnable also.
And, if our weather is any indication of what you might expect. We have 4 times the usual snow in our area. Some years, we may have 12 inches on exceptional years 18. This year, we are over 48 inches accumulated, and we get snow until late March most years. Sometimes until mid - or late April. With global warming, who knows.
Before the age of "Global Warming", my aunt used to tell me they got 18" of snow in East Texas during the 1910's. We got 4" along the Gulf Coast in 20. I can't imagine what it might be like up there in a month. I had some friends move to North Dakota back in the 80's. They said the stop signs got covered.
That is a VERY GOOD idea. Why have I not thought of that? That is the perfect solution. God bless and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
When parking outside in upper michigan for my tracked vehicle I use logs as well, they get recycled every summer ..
FYI. Carheart makes dog coats. All 4 of you could match. My wife says I'm goofy because we all have matching coats. And the dogs go nuts when we put coats on them.
Yes! Carhartt make a really nice dog coat.
Not sure I'd support any business making coats from dogs... are they from China?
Carhardt has gone woke. Try to use something that works just as good
@jasonparton4219 Well I own 4 coats from them for years and years. Same for my wife. Wanted matching so I got matching.
There are a lot of places in the USA that make them. Our dog loves his and it has nice large reflective tape strips on it. It’s proven to -20 this week.
Wow wow wow! A Wednesday!??? Awesome
AS on a Wednesday. What a treat.
☺️
get the BULIDOZER going 😋😋😀😀😀
Ya! Wednesday video!
what a pleasant surprise!! an extra vlog this week! I look forward to Sundays for your vlog!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
No video on this Sunday i feel✌️
@@karthickmanoharan6671 This is a bonus video. Sunday’s video is a BIG one! 😉
@@AmbitionStrikes
Ahh happy for reply
Thanks RileY 🙏 ⛄
Waiting for Sunday video 🙂
Riley riding on top of the snoverlander while going through face slapping branches is class Reckless Riley!! Will you ever need to tighten the tracks ? I sort of recall he made the tracks adjustable...
Yes! We actually need to tighten one of the tracks slightly.
The Snowverlander is fantastic. You should produce and sell the wheel packages. Not needed in Florida however.
I’m not big on the cold anymore I used to be but then I moved down to Florida I was down there for about eight years 78 years and my daughter talked me into moving to Washington state the furthest north west corner of the United States now granted they don’t get a lot of snow and what they do usually melt right away what they get is a lot of rain and friggin cold. Lol
That Tracked jeep is so cool.
Gas powered leaf blower is the ticket for clearing off the vehicles and walkways and driveway if you don't have a lot to do. It has been a lifesaver for us on our steep hill
Merry Christmas. 🎄
When I lived in that area, my plow always had a sacrificial edge on the bottom of the plow. The edge was made of pipe. That let plow go over the rocks easier as well as keeping the plow in good shape. Enjoy the winter, it looks like you’re in space management mode.
The truck repair place I purchased from had their own taller cutting edges made out of AR steel and they worked perfect and mounted to the factory bolt holes on the trip edge so you don't wear away the factory cutting edge/trip. They also make cast iron feet that you can set the blade up a bit if you have a stone/gravel driveway. This was on an Straight 8.5' Fisher back up in NH.
TIM from Canada weather check 17 Fahrenheit..is ( - 8 C Celsius this is a spring day in Canada.
That was fun.
Portions of this are a great sales video for the tracks. If your road narrows up to much remember you have the tool to widen it. That tool is known as "Double wide". Have a Merry Christmas and stay safe.
Heck yeah a new video
She is a trooper Riley but you already know that. Courtney gets the shots she knows we want to see. That's part of what makes your channel successful.
I’m gonna say the plow truck and snowverlander are gonna be working overtime this season.
I HAVE TO SAY YOU GUYS ARE THE COOLEST. I FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE 5 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
Literally the cutest couple ever, you guys are so fun!
Have your neighbors asked u guys to build them a set of snowverlander tracks yet? Those work great in the snow.
My first year in Utah, I woke up to 4 feet of snow in my yard. Later that day one of my neighbors was clearing the road with his loader, he was out in front of my house with a bucket of snow looking around. I asked him if he needed a place to put that. He said the neighbors would not let him put it in their yards because there my be rocks in it that show up in the lawn in spring. I told him to pile it all in my yard, I’ll just pay my kids to collect the rocks when the snow melts. So we had 12 feet of snow in my front yard but clear streets. My kids, and the neighbor kids, had a blast with all that snow, and in spring my kids made a few bucks at a penny a rock.
Snow Verlanding in a winter wonderland !
It's great to see you two relaxed and enjoying some fruit of all that road-building labor!
All of the snow will be a blessing for the rivers and reservoirs that need water. You will want to build a big shelter to keep your toys out of the weather. It helps a lot when you don't have to clean off the snow before you plow. Merry Christmas. Good Luck, Rick
I keep smiling With your Ideas of what's a lot of snow. I'm from northern Michigan You have seen anything yet.
I would love to see an update on the solar setup with the limited sunlight hours, percentage of batteries left after a storm, how long you can run without solar input and how long the new generator would take to charge from empty to full charge incase of a large extended storm
This was such a pleasant surprise! I always look forward to Sunday’s at 9 but there was a bonus this week! 😊
Nice to see riley having fun on top of the jeep and and its really nice to play in the snow
The plowing was interesting for a southerner that has seen accumulation 3 or 4 times in 50+ years. The tracks were just cool. The happy pups though! They had me grinning from ear ta ear. Absolutely made the video for me. 😎
Winter Wonderland 🥰
Something you might consider doing in winter is flipping up the wiper blades on all your vehicles and leaving them up unless you are driving. If you get sleet or rain and then snow, the wiper blades can become frozen solid to the windshield.
That vintage GM they don't flip up
That is something that people in the "Lower 48" do. Up in Alaska, you'll never see that done. If you have RainX windshield washer fluid in you reservoir, spray your windshield & let the wipers work one wipe. Wipers won't stick to W/S.
You guys just warm my heart! What a fun time in the snow.
I’m so so happy that you’re home I I hope your family has has fun I hope hope your kids 😅
. Glad you snowbunnies are there and not me. When temp. is below 80 F or 27 C my bones are cold. Super neat that we can visit your mountain and have fun watching you record and play in more ways than one. Take care.
Hello from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 it's beautifull 🌹
Beautiful
No business like snow business......... smiles 😊😊😊😊
Those tracks have some impressive traction. What a fun and practical toy.
Thank you for a snow fun day. Be happy, be healthy, be safe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Oh, and please give kisses to the fur babies from me.
Drop some pallets on the ground to drive the tracks onto. I use to put my snowmobile on a pallet to keep it from freezing to the ground.
Hi Riley and Courtney.
Put some brachnes or small trees under the tracks to keep it from frezing to the ground,when you park
The Snowverlander is a work of genius. I cannot imagine a circumstance where I would need one. How y'all can look at snow and smile is beyond my ability to comprehend. Merry Christmas, guys!!!!!
A hot tube on that new deck and a good bottle of wine 🍷 while it's snowing 🌨 👌 😌
Your Snoverlander is so cool. Your channel is my new favorite. Really been enjoying watching it this year. Thanks for the fun content.
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Love that jeep…
84” of snow this years
Wife and I are watching this morning from priest river, looking at our thermometer reading 6 degrees and knowing it's going to be even colder tonight.
Stay warm today!
And be ready for the nasty warmup this coming week, there's nothing worse than a fast warmup after a bitter cold week like this.
Hey Isaac, read you comment and had to chuckle at your mention of how cold it is there. I live in west central Alberta, up here in Canada 🇨🇦. I’m sitting in my warm living room watching YT, reading comments, should be working today but got shut down by Mother Nature! Temp here this morning was minus forty degrees Celsius (Easy conversion to Fahrenheit as it’s the same at forty below) gov. regulation says we can’t work past -35 so now I’m waiting for warmer weather, lol. My job is plowing back roads along the Eastern slopes of the Rockies, absolutely stunning views every day(and they pay me to go there) so I’m in remote country, and weather like this has no mercy! Anyways, stay warm and Merry Christmas from the great white north
I also live in Priest River!
Well done guys!
Well at least you guys are going to have a white Christmas that's for sure so happy Christmas and a new holiday
I welded 3/8 x 6 flat bar the entire length of each of the blade. But 1 inch forward and 4 inches back. That thing would float over everything and still plow.
I feel spoiled to get another Ambition Strikes fix. That deck is already a game changer, but even more so when it gets roofed. Happy Holidays
in winter you should leave your window wipers lifted so they don't freeze to the windshield
You two continue to amaze me at your ingenuity. I figured youj bought those tracks, but you engineered them yourselves. Love the snow trip.
tons of fun in the snow winter wonderland snowball fight cheers
Wondering how the choice of solar panels and orientation is coming with the snow, and what's the temperature inside the charging container.
Thanks for the bonus video. T"is the season to be having fun
Hey ya'll if your wiper pladesare not able to stand up you can prop them with a pencil cut to length to raise the arm up off the windshield just put the sharpened point down toward the glass and it won't stick Jla😃
210 inches. When life gives you snow, play any way you can in it!!!
Build some snowboarding jumps!!!
Build a huge snowman for us!
Is that a track skid steer I see in the background? Can’t wait to see what kind of projects you guys do with that!!
I saw that too! These videos are turning into finding Waldo!
Hi! Gang:
Do you have a sewing machine? Do you do any sewing? Have you ever thought of making windshield covers for all your vehicles parked outdoors? I use water resistant cordura nylon. I sew rare earth magnets into the material, maybe four across the top, two or more across the bottom. I make the side ends long enough to reach into the door weatherstrips on either side. I make a pouch in the material tube-like, on each side to hold a 3/8ths or 1/2 inch dowel. The dowels fit into a groove in the weatherstrips. Carefully close the doors so the dowels are kept in the groove. Thus the windshield covers cannot be removed when the doors are locked.
The covers help keep the windshields from being iced over. And when covered with fresh snow, you just open the doors one at a time, and pull off the covers and all the snow. Of course you have to remember to put the windshield cover on before the storm. Ha!
If you don't sew you might be able to find someone in town who can do it for you. It does help if they have made them before.
The friend who introduced me to four-wheeling forty-some years ago stressed that four wheel drive was a wonderful tool that allowed you to get stuck a much longer walk from home. I do hope that when you go out, especially in the Snoverlander, that you carry sufficient cold-weather clothing, water and food.
To keep your snowlander from freezing to the ground park it on palettes, Merry Christmas and best wishes from Nikiski Alaska
Nice to see you both having fun. We only get a glimpse, but you two work so hard.......
Would a ski run from the house to the meadow be a good project idea? Remove just a few trees here and there. Not sure if you guys even ski or snowboard. Anyway good luck out there.
Merry Christmas guys!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Use the dozer!!!!
Looked like a fun day. 104 inches
Merry Christmas. Be safe and stay warm.
Thanks!
Beautiful photography, Courtney.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉Thanks for the mid week video. Like getting an early Christmas 🎄 present 🎁
When the snow is light a fluffy like that, you can use a leaf blower to clean the snow off your vehicles. Its so much easier then scraping and brushing.
Dang. I was enjoying this video so much I hated to see it end. Riley's expressions when riding on top of the snow overlander were priceless. Y'all stay safe and have a Merry Christmas. Can't wait for your next video.
Of all the silly things, I am glad to see the top and bottom parts of the folding door starting to match.
Yes! We can’t believe it took over a year to finally even out.
Riley riding on top of your track car is nuts……you are my kind of Guy’s ! We don’t have as much of snow as you do but working on it a foot at a time, love it !
Great job plowing your drive way Riley
We love the Snoverlander! :)
I thinking at least 82” this winter. ❄️☃️
Love the Snowverlander - 🎵“oh what fun it is to ride in a 4-track Toyo-sleigh!!”🎶
Love you beautiful people!
Great video Riley and Courtney
Like before watching 👍
Doing what you do is a lot of work but fun, However it was great seeing you both have proper fun .
That's what it's all about
Best Santa mobile ever! You just need a hat.
living in Indiana we are about to get hammered with a winter storm! :D stay safe! 97'' this year!
Boon frolicking in the snow is everything my heart needed this morning.
Snow country tip:
Brush the snow off from around the drivers door first.
Then climb in and start the truck warming, then get out and finish cleaning all the windows and whatever else needs it
Many years since I've been in Sandpoint area in dead of winter. Last time had to helicopter in to a radio site on mountain. Building had two doors, one at ground level, and one at roof level. That's how deep the snow gets there. Enjoy your great homestead, Merry Christmas.
First off... your place is like a living snow globe. So beautiful. You really did find a perfect place for you both. I remember the trial and error days of the first winter plowing. Look how smooth plowing and the road are now. The best decision was to make a new road. Oh, how I love the Snowverlander! I love the shot of the deer running in front. Who needs a one-horse open sleigh when you have the Snowverlander?
Well, howdy kinda somewhat northerly neighbor! Washington County here. We got a bunch of the same storm that dumped all that snow on you down here. Glad to see you have the equipment now to handle it. New to the channel and it looks like I will be binge watching here real soon.
Thank you Courtney, great shots 👏
Great to know that our snowpack is replenishing, just be sure to send some to Northern California!
Love watching your videos. What an amazing relationship and partnership you have.
That whole "snow process" just looked like fun. Talk about a couple of kids! Merry Christmas!!
That looks like so much fun! Can’t believe how well it does in that deep snow ❄️!!!🥰🤣
If you don't want your jeep tracks getting stuck to the ground when its parked , just lay a couple of 2x6's length ways on the snow under your tracks while you are parking your jeep. That should correct the problem for ya, and it would be a lot easier on your tracks the next time you go to use the jeep, as in the right conditions or situations the track or tracks tear into two pieces if not careful.
I love tracked snow vehicles. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings to my two favorite people who make life appear as it is in all its splendor in the midst of beautiful nature. blessings merry christmas and a happy new year
The Snowverlander is the BOMB!
Love that Jeep! We just moved from warm NZ to BC Canada and have a foot of snow, can’t even get out my drive. Our dog was born in NZ so she just doesn’t know what to make of snow.. it’s really funny to watch. Stay safe, have a wonderful Christmas
Bailey doesn’t think much of the cold either, luckily she loves wearing jackets!
@@AmbitionStrikes we have a selection for Millie as well. Got to figure out paw protection as she hates the little boots we got her.. lol.
When you park a tracked vehicle in the winter park the tracks on boards or old tires so it doesn't freeze to the ground.
100 inches of snow! Love your video playing in the snow!
