    I suggest you invest in some chains for the wheels

    • @mywildlifeitalia
      @mywildlifeitalia  2 дня назад +2

      I have them and tried them last year, on such compact ice they destabilize you due to the vibrations. I will invest in studded tires

    • @nycbike73

      @ oh okay. You have a good point, studded tires would probably work better 👍

    OMG, that drive reminded me about my life back in Norway. 😮 I know that feeling of not having much control over the car, just having to "feel" the elements of nature and send a prayer or ten hoping to reach the goal safely. 😮🙏🫢 I was SO happy when you were finally at your cabin! ❤❤🎉
    I am not sure if drivers in Italy are obliged to change to winter tyres like in many other European countries. Still, with winter tyres and even chains...if you get on what we call "blue ice" nothing gives you real protection. What Alex did (finding the safe spots) is the safest way to drive. Luckily, you found those spots along the road. 🙏😇😁
    Great to see how your wall is filling up and starts to keep the cold air outside. 👌👏 All your hard work will be rewarded❣️
    I hope you are having a great Christmas. 🎅🤶🎄
    Thank you for everything in 2024, hope for a new year full of happiness❣️🍾🥂💕

      Hello, first of all we wish you the happiest new year, for a better 2025. Yes, here in Italy we are forced to change tires. We are equipped with chains and everything for that road, but you know well that with ice even chains may not be useful, but rather destabilize the vehicle with vibrations, reducing the contact point. The only way, in the absence of studded tires, was to proceed on the side of the road 💪

    Dear Monica &Alex I hope your stay on mountain will be full of satisfacion also during winter . Pay attention of the road watching your steps. Have a nice stay and happy new year. Take care of yourself. I'm looking forward hearing from you next year. GOD bless both of you.😊❤

    Ciao Alex e Monica, piacere vedervi questi giorni, pensavo che vi fate un po' di vacanza per le feste invece lavorate in pieno. Pero adesso e più isolato di prima e sara piu caldo così. Ma vi rimane sempre grande buco dal camino che usavate prima, anche da lì entra freddo, farete qualcosa per chiuderlo un po'?
    Vi auguro buona festa domani, anzi stasera, e Un felice Anno nuovo, realizzare i vostri sogni e vivere con amore in vostra cabina! ❤❤❤
    Aspetto a vedere fauna selvatica li, sono molto curiosa. 😊

    In una situazione così sarebbe meglio montare le catene, darebbero più trazione.

    • @mywildlifeitalia
      @mywildlifeitalia  2 дня назад

      provato in passato, destabilizzano il veicolo e basta, le vibrazione sul ghiaccio troppo compatto ti fanno perdere aderenza. Per il futuro pensavo a gomme chiodate su cerchi indipendenti da montare al volo

    Se non hai su dei pneumatici invernali , come minimo, sei in cerca di guai... Specie in discesa
    La soluzione migliore è avere la possibilità di installare dei rostri sulle ruote motrici: sono molto più facili da installare delle catene ed hanno la stessa efficacia. L ' inconveniente è che noln si possono installare su tutti i cerchioni.... ☹️☹️☹️
    Altra possibilità è l'uso delle calze: io le ho usate per anni e su neve fresca / gelata danno un grip incredibile...

    • @mywildlifeitalia
      @mywildlifeitalia  2 дня назад

      Infatti, sto già pensando di prendere almeno due gomme chiodate su due cerchi indipendenti per il futuro

      Ma si trovano ancora gomme chiodate?
      Per quel poco che ne so, sono proibite.... Si usavano 40 anni fa, quando i pneumatici invernali facevano cagare, rispetto a quelli odierni....
      Io le usavo sulla golf gtd , ma la macchina diventava Inguidabile..bei tempi..anni 1988 ed oltre......☹️☹️☹️
