That trailer was proper naughty, that contest is a challenge, but I think one of my preferred in Alaska. Mo so than teh just hit 4 points for no reason, and the river one was a no no for me, even on standard mode.
Thanks @MrFarquar … it comes down to preparation and planning … which all gets put to the side when the inevitable rollover happens!!! Great to see your progress at Michigan is still going strong!! 😃👍🚛
Yeah I found all of the contests in Alaska much harder than the ones in Michigan!! Maybe it was poor truck choices, or maybe too conservative on routes etc - but they were all much harder!! 😃👍🚛
For most of the Alaska contests, I got frustrated, rage quit, and came back with a Tatarin after I finished Taymyr. You can't attach the service trailer to the Tatarin, but you can tow it on a rope.
Yep the Tartarin is very strong anywhere … it’s biggest challenge are round rocks (it can get “beached” on) and deep water (as it didn’t have a snorkel). It can winch trailers along, but can’t load / pack cargo. But it sure is a great scout!! 😃👍🚛
Yup @MagnusBrynedal, those big contracts get a bit challenging to remember what goes where … particularly if you start “preparing” for them early!! I actually loved those large ones in Michigan and Alaska … but they tended to stop them after that! Hope you are enjoying playing along with the journey!! 😃👍🚛
Still enjoying the series chap, my memory and planning is so poor in comparison. You impress me sir.

I know!!! I really don’t like the challenges in Alaska (and they don’t like me)!! But we got there in the end (mostly) 😃👍🐝
Nice one Wezzle … had the same troubles with the contest FWIW. The rest of it was fun tho, cheers.

Mental note: Bricks for cargopalyspse pt. 2, BRICKS - NOT cement... 🤦
