Great video, Chuck .I look forward to the video of your upcoming trip

Good video good vibes good people good dogs. Nice country enjoy the outdoors 😊

Awesome, Chuck...you're a blessed man. I REALLY like that platform on top of the cargo box...thinking I might incorporate something like it for mine. Edit: congrats to the winner 👊

Congratulations to the winners

I feel very grateful these days. I also realize things fluctuate in life fairly quickly so enjoy while you can ❤️

Always carried JB Weld, automotive wire, duct tape, solder, connectors, butane solder torch, spring puller, spare Ski-Doo relays, pry bar (ran ice and sliders melted to track), small socket set. Made many trail side repairs to not only my sled/gear but to complete strangers who broke down. Much easier than towing😜

All good things. I also tell people that suiting up a snowmobile is like developing your own first aid and survival kits. They have to be suited for your needs and conditions.

Once again another great video, can't wait too see video of big trip!!!

Looking forward to the snowmobile trip even though I'm not there. It's still great to watch !!

This is great. To help you decide what to put in your cargo box and the battery compartment, consider that these places stay surprisingly warm while traveling because they sit on top of the tunnel. We keep spare mittens, electronics sensitive to cold, hot soup, etc in these compartments.

Wonderful setup. The glove box extension stays warm as well. Keeps your drinks from freezing and will even dry your gloves some.

Great video Chuck. Nice to see the family together. I always enjoy your dad. Have met him on the salmon river many times. One time we shared bear meat for lunch. Very nice to see him enjoying life at his age. God bless.

Yes now doubt! Killed me to start drilling holes but it’s has to be functional and practical- and now that I’ve started drilling them I may not stop lol

I know the feeling on setting up your sled Chuck……..some advice on the chainsaw mount……..I’ve always made and used a bar mount system made out of plywood……….always worked without flaw. The saw would hang off the side or rear and that leaves the top of your box free for other things. Great idea for the partition for your box……..makes the space more useful of course. Great vid!

Sorry to hear that....our fathers are a precious part of our lives....mine is my ultimate mentor and taught me every life skill I possess. Deepest condolences my friend

Hey Chuck, your folding saw fits on the throttle side of your 135L cargo box. Just remove the plastic piece about 3/4 way up forward of the 2nd strap, 3 screws, and then your saw will fit there. Also, do yourself a favor and unfortunately your handlebar mountain strap and turn it 180deg around, that way you can see your dash clearly then also easier to grab while standing to maneuver the sled. BRP mounts them backwards for some reason. Never liked it so far forward compared to my old mountain sleds.

Nice video as always . Our season getting soon to an end . Warm degrees and rain :( . ps have you tried caught pikes and take out the guts and spread them on a wall for drying ? let them dry to may or when you see they are pretty dry . Perfect snacks for the dogs . You should really spoil your dogs with that . Enjoy your new amazing machine . Regards from Sweden

I have my inreach in the same location but have recently started clipping it on myself as I travel alone alot. The reason being is if the machine were to go into a river I would be stranded without emergency communications.

good day Chuck, another wonderful video, so good to see that your father is still able to go and enjoy the outdoors with you at his age. I purchased the same Skandic SWT as you did, it is one beast in the snow, I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I have. 1 quick question where did you purchase those bungee cords that you are using to tie down your snow shoes. I checked all the stores in Corner Brook today but cant seem to find them anywhere, many thanks

Chuck, any difference in the pogo suspension with the new style chassis? As in sturdiness? Tippy? Compared to your XU, I had same sled, I put the front strut widening kit and it was a game changer but I’m curious how the new style sled is for tippyness. Thanks buddy. Safe travels

@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors

4 ай бұрын

I haven’t given it a fair shake yet in off trail use to give you a real good response. I do find her more responsive when darting around in the woods, and that helps keep me afloat. It is geared differently with a higher torque generally speaking. I haven’t investigated the widening kit. Maybe if I feel it’s warranted I’ll take a peek. My last skidoo had the heavy duty springs in front suspension but I haven’t upgraded that yet. Again, see how it performs when I get more kms on it.
