VMUTS 2022 Winter Weekend, February 2022

So based on this, it's essentially only unmaintained roads?

 

The unmaintained roads to lead the trails.

Everything that is a #'d trail is not a road. There is only 1 road (Olrig rd).

 

The trails.

 

I saw the videos but they look like snowy roads. The highlighted sections are green and listed as bush roads. I don't know what those are.

 

I guess the snow can be deceiving.

Trail #93 is listed as a black trail. That is what we were on.

How easy is it to leave mid-sunday? Is there always an exit to a main trail or is it solo-grinding out?

 

its easy to leave anytime, take it from a guy who thought he was so lost he had to contact some on hear for directions. lol. can't believe I actually got lost at vmuts

 

I would not say 'Always' just an easy exit. Mostly yes it is as simple as turn around and go back.

Really I dont think we want anyone to be doing anything alone on this trip?

In the video you can see even I am with Jeremiah, I wont go out there in that much snow alone? Kinda easy to make 1 mistake and you are alone, and very very stuck.

If say you are on a group that is doing trail #93, the long section. It is not easy to just turn around and go back on your own.



Hard to say. Each situation, person, rig is different.

If you want to leave mid sunday, we can just work out to were you can leave from. Aint no thang

 

But going solo is the fun part!

Survival instincts kick in.
Camping gear is already prepped.
call a buddy
3 days later a convoy shows up with Gopros and vlog-style mics
and
you got yourself a grand old time!

 

Quiet, you. You're not even going

 

sorry...

 

You're the vlogging convoy that shows up 3 days later.

For TEC?

FOR TEC!!

 

I guess video's just really make it look like nothing.

In that like 3 minute video, my truck got hotter than I have ever worked it before. I could not have tried to go up that hill if I wanted to.

I would have had to wait at least 10 mins or more, to let my transmission get back to better temp.

Trust me, you will be stuck. We will all be stuck, at some point. There is so much snow you cant help but be like, welp im going over there! bam stuck.

 

yeah, wtf, who is going to film VLOG? I got my shitty iphone 6 to film us for the gram only...

 

i dont have funds for the GoPro Hero 9 Media mod nore funds for a Kobe audio system. (Lav mics are nice but a shotgun one is more vlogger)

 

unacceptable...

 

fine, have a shitty timelapse.

When is everyone going up? I'll be leaving the GTA Saturday morning, getting there by 2pm or so.

 

I am planning on either coming up Friday night or Saturday morning, but starting early around 6am if Saturday to avoid any traffic etc
