TEC || Winter Wheeling With Friends 25-26 Jan 2020

It was eventful, winched myself at least 20 times. Helped others to winch at least 100 times and we played balance games between couple of winches to prevent rollovers etc... lots of walking to hook up to a trees and angles with snatch blocks. Good fitness exercise.

If you weren't there you missed the "biggest winch fest of the 2020" so far haha.

 

Exactly as Eugene described... lots of winching but still passable for the most part. The Tacomas held their own with the Jeeps I think.

 

Everything sounds like it was truely an uphill battle that you guys had won


Apparently you guys earned the t-shirt's saying "i survived"

 

nice pics looks like a good time was had..

 

indeed we did!

 

So we went out this morning for another round. Was another day of the usual amazing scenery, some breaking trail, some trail damage, some almost trail damage...And recovering Jeeps. Good times.

 

Hmmmm.....

I remember talking about installing a winch, that it would be handy if I made it to this trip....

BUT THEN I got some poo-poo's and nay-nay's,
that I was some mall princess ,
for even thinking a winch would be even needed,
on such beginner trails....

I won't mention name's,
nooooo pointing a finger either....

You sure this shouldn't have been re-named to;

Winter Wheeling Winch Fest

 

I wouldn’t consider going out on those trails or winter wheeling period without a winch. The non winch people had to be strategically placed in the group.

 

this ^

Solo driving in the winter i'm fine with.
Solo wheeling in the winter is terrifying.

i can taste the salt from the other side of the city

 

Nice! Keep the pictures coming! I would've stayed for another day, but got other duties in the afternoon to take care of

 

So much salt...

Snowbanks are gone...

My front lawn has a mud puddle on it...

I think I'll go walk around in that 'till I feel better...

 

To be fair I don't think these are considered beginner trails

 

they are, all newbie runs are done on them...

 

Love shacks


Lots of man love last night.

Ya but not in the winter. The snow changes things

 

Strange, because I dont have a winch and wheel in the snow.

 

Looks like 3rd gen bedsides are stronger. Didn't deform with three grown men hanging off it.

 

And you got stuck.... Sigh,

I can't believe I voted for you....

I'm gonna get Thyces to sign your page on the calendar instead!





K I'm still salty, going back to my mud puddle for a little bit more...

 

you mean @Therby, but he didn't even attend - mall duties for him.
