The drone footage of you and Ray coming into your cabin is awesome.

You made that ride so interesting with all the camera and drone angles - thanks, Russell!

Your live chat show just ended. 2/11. I was the second person waiting for 30minutes, to watch. But, this old lady couldn't figure out how to"chat". I live smack in the middle of USA. Indiana, Wabash river. Have only been watching you for a few months. Good job. Happy to see that someone has spouse/family. Always question why the men are alone. Thank you for sharing your time ‼️💃💃❤️🎉.

Free SNOWMOBILE! That sled is like new. Always wanted one for ice fishing. Better than a quad especially if there is overflow. Nice video Russell.

Russell, what a great friend Ray is. This was as a fun video to watch. The girls are living a great life. Thank you for letting us in.🌸

Snowmobile would be good as a secondary for emergencies just in case being so far from the road.

The Russell padish looks great. I remember those snowmobile trail days and hitting slush on a river. Peddle to the meddle in hopes you don’t sink, scary stuff. The drone footage was great as always. As is the camera footage in front of the vehicles. Nice video Russell.

That snowmobile looked so much fun glade Ray stopped bye.👌✌️

Very nice snow machine Ray... 🐾🐾💕🐾🐾

It's called overflow. When all that snow lands on the ice, the weight of the snow pushes down' on the ice and water comes up through the cracks. Can get your machine stuck real quick. Thanks for the video. I just bought a 96 polaris and haven't got to try it yet.

Get a set of tracks for your ATV. I found a set of good used ones and they are incredible. You'll go through absolutely anything, climb any hill in any depth of snow, and can do it while pulling a sled full of groceries and supplies.

Was just watching your battle during last years snow Strom trying to get down the trail with the 4 wheeler. Now I see you got a sled. Went though that same ordeal at my cabin a couple years ago at 50 years old out of breath and bitching about wishing I had a sled lol. Now I got a sled to. Best of wishes living of grid it's worth it.

"RASPBERRY ROCK" in the snow. NICE. 👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful scenery and a great ride, thanks!

Hi Russ and Citygirl, thanks for the great video as always. Yaaa to Ray. Be well and safe.

I'm with you Russell on the snowmobile. When I use to visit my friend at Lake Tahoe (in the late 80's) the loud engine and fumes from both the snowmobile and the Jet Ski in summer were a bit overwhelming. I heard they had to regulate the Jet Ski at Tahoe since they were emptying 25 percent of their fuel-oil mix unburned into the Lake. Enjoyed seeing Ray again though with his snowmobile!

BTW…you can gently slice the edges of a chop to stop it from “curling” while frying…and yes pork chops are fried in any skillet, preferably cast iron. Since you don’t like onions, to add extra flavor buy a shallot. It will add that flavor without “onion taste.”😁💙🦋

Relaxing fun video. I really like all the different segments. I wonder why Willow ran off.. you read my mind when you said something... this channel makes me smile ear to ear. So relaxed and enjoyable. I really didn't think the snow mobile cut it compared to your usual "car" 😉. (you did ask haha)..Mega hugs to Willow and Junebug🐾🥰... and thanks Russell for sharing. I'm hungry now!! Oh no... but it's midnight in the UK...ah, ner'mind...Nanite😴..✌️Pea Soooup!🤣😂

I think it's good that you go to town every Tuesday even if you don't "need" anything. Routine and seeing other people even if it's just the Subway crew is good for you, esp in the winter. Also Idk if you have some, I can't remember if I've seen city girl us it or not, but gochujang sauce is deelish! And it pairs well with hoisin.

Enjoyed spending time with you. What a lovely day!💕

So very cool.. two friends.. out in the wilderness.. slithering on the snowy path.. weeeeeeee.. great camera work!

Priorities on a Friday, dog food, beer and wine in my case. Thanks for making a dreary Friday better, great video as always 👏👍

You should get a snowmobile. You obviously need some hours on one to get used to it. I can't believe a Canadian who hasn't ridden one since his childhood. They are great fun. That machine your buddy had was in perfect condition considering its age.

I loved the atv trail footage. It used to be so much of a disaster but now it is smooth.

Ray saves the day EVERY time for Russell. 🤩#turnthesnowmobilearound

LOL. That helmet is a keeper! Loved the footage of the ride. Great job Russell!

Great footage Russell! It always amazes me how well snow acts as an insulator. Happy Friday!

Not sure 20 minutes on an OLD sled on a groomed trail is a good test. To me a sled might be worth considering if it gave you the ability to get around to places on the property that your ATV can't go. Or, made your weekly town run easier during the winter. OR if you just flat enjoyed riding one.

Old sleds are awesome ! They never die and need a bit of maintenance now and then but cost effective and best way to go in the big snow.I You would need to gain more experience riding a sled to make it worth owning

That snow machine appears to be in amazing shape.

I think having a good old school sled is a grand idea when you live in snow country so easy to get snowed in and the atv cant get through, it could save your butt.. You just need to play on one for a while and make it work for you learn how to control it kneel on the seat don't sit, use your weight to move it around. You don't have to use it all the time but grooming the trail with one would sure be nice. get an older one so its easy to work on, get a Skidoo or polaris anything thats common so parts are cheap, don't beat it up maintain it and use it as a tool for the homestead and it will be worth your time. But you do what you want just my 1/2 a cent....stay safe thanks for the vid

The snowmobile looks fun, but it sure is noisy, maybe cause it was an old version. Nice video. You have Lots of snow! 💖

Great video...loved the drone shots!!! Thanks for sharing!

Good old snow mobile . Fun in the winter . Good video .

Terrific montage of perspectives as you rode the trail! It must of taken quite a bit of effort to place the camera in all those locations...great job!

Perfect as usual drone shot superb. At one time in my life I had an old sled a Boa and my kids then drove the living hell out of it and I spent a great deal of time repairing it so needless to say I got rid of it. I have a four wheel drive small dump easy go which I also pull a bob sled when we have enough snow but that is hit and miss. Great video hope to see you tonight, have a good one.

Can you get a simple scraper blade made for the 4wheeler? Simply drag the majority of the big snows off the path yet keeps some on the road for that smooth ride. Built like a trailer and able to go from in line to hanging over the side of the trail depending on where you want the waste snow.

Butterfly pork. I like to make a pocket with them. Stoff the middle. Sometimes I use garlick or BBQ sauce as well as other stuffables.

I really think a snowmobile would serve you well. You wouldn't be stranded if you could punch a good trail to the road and your ATV has shown it isn't capable of that alone. That's a great old machine. My Dad's rule was when we could lift the snowmobile and turn it around alone we could take them out alone. I learned very young about leverage and using branches lol.

Drone shotes are beautiful. Keep smiling

Hi Russell,! I am rather new to your channel. I live with my husband in Italy in the country, but I am from California. My mom was Italian so I got a head start about living in Italy 😁 I own a 150 year old stone house and although I don't really live isolated it's still out in the country. I have a big vegetable garden, a river close by, a dog named Mina, & a few chickens for eggs. I actually don't do many videos of my house here, but if you scroll down through my videos you can see it and the area is so beautiful. Right now I am really in to trail cams, and I feed a boar named Elio and a few foxes. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your channel and in the morning while having coffee I watch every new video. Keep up the great work! I love your sense of humor and also pet the dogs for me! I am f, 38 years old just saying cause I have a mask on in my profile Pic.. Lol 🦊🐗🐾🌻

You really have the most beautiful snow footage! I love it. I grew up in the US Air Force and I fell in love with snow from some of the places we were stationed but alas I landed in South Alabama and never get to see it so I just so love all the beautiful snow footage!! And you are pretty entertaining yourself!

You are definitely building a Northern Exposure type cast of characters, this could a TV series. great video.

Great video ! Yea, I imagine a snowmobile will never feel like it can be controlled the way an ATV can ! That's a lot of water on over the Ice on the pond, looks like it basically insulating itself in between the Ice and the snow ! Hi Doggies 👋 Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for a new video. I watch many youtubers and you are one of my favorite. . the music and footage is amazing.

I still think chains would be best for the application you need ,they are pretty cheap they would be good for ice,when the melting starts they are good for that,easy to put on and off

Russell if you go to Lumnah acres they are in upper Massachusetts and they are building a cabin off grid and have put up there own solar but I believe they bought 160- 200 acres and some of it is getting logged right now cuz the trees are so close together but they have a side by side and during the winter they have tracks on it and in the summer they put the wheels back on plus it has enormous amount of room in the back and it's a 4 seater but you and city girl can ride up front and the dogs in back. You should check out the channel as that's how they built the farm they have now and they are building a much bigger farm now

Always a pleasure watching your videos....thx mate

Great video, save the onion by putting in baggie and storing refrigerator!! Have a great weekend!!

Here in the west of Ireland the daffodils are about to flower. Nice to see your snow.

Enjoy watching you guys, I’ve watched all the videos and you have a fabulous place there I’m in Tx and wish you and your wife the best with all

Russell, greetings from Hokkaido, Japan, where we can relate to your snow. I’ve been catching up on all your videos and love your cabin and location. Keep up the great work.

awesome drone footage going into your camp, and the trail looked great as did your padish if your doing ok with the ATV keep it . However snowmobiles are fun and you can go places with them no problem , as for the slush , " when in doubt throttle out. nice video Russ,

As much as I thought a snowmobile would be a good purchase for you, after watching the video I think it is not the vehicle for you. What it would do is allow you to get out when the path is not clean and you could ride on top of the snow. down the path. So how much you would use it is really dependent on how much snow you actually get through the winter months. You do manage well with your 4 wheeler so it may be a better fit for you. One thing in favor for the 4 wheeler is you do have more protection if you got into a situation with a tree or something. The 4 wheeler looks to be a more hardier machine in comparison. Smart man for trying one out before buying one. On open wide trails a snowmobile is a good choice but Raspberry Rock has a lot of trees and underbrush which may make you use a few "F: words when riding a snowmobile there :) The video was most enjoyable. and the scenery breathtaking as usual. Thank you for sharing your comparison test. Have Fun! :)

As always great Video Russell👍- you are right snow mobiles do smell and hard to turn - I have been stuck a few times in Colorado in deep snow. Had to have help to move back on the trails 🤣

You could pull sleigh and put all your suplies In it we have snowmobiles and wouldn't be without one. You need a spot half way to turn around so you don't have to go all the way ✌️

Awesome video, man! Cooking scene took me back!! Glad to see the snow is paying off!!

Glad you got back to the cabin ok, that lake looks dangerous.

Russell and Ray could be a KZfaq show on its own! Be safe Russell and give the girls a pet from me!

Congratulations 👏. Fun times with your Snow mobile 😊...

Wasn't feeling great this weekend, till I stumbled on one of your vids, watched a bunch and you made me smile! YOU ARE FUNNY! (liked the bunch and subscribed ;) )

WOW!! First to comment that never happens lol. This was a fun video as all are. I will say a few things, yep, you know me. Got to help the logarithm. First, you and I have something in common. I hate raw onions also; cooked are OK. Second, Snow machines are fun if you ride them enough I like Rays due to the fact it can be worked on, no electronics. However that makes them smell with fumes. Third, I keep thinking about the track system, they look like they would soak up the bumps and ride smooth. They are usable year round,(as far as I know) nothing short of a deep hole will stop you. No more winching, to hell with bridges just go through the mud, whatever if it is not to deep to get into air intake. I have considered them for my side by side, 4 wheeler, and I live in Central Texas. Whatever your decision is, it is yours to make. Wishing you a super awesome week. God Bless in all you do.

Such a nice snow machine

Food looks so good.

You have to think about how many years you have lived there. How many years do you have had trouble in the wintertime. If you have a LOT of trouble, I think I would have consider a snowmobil, if I only have had a couple times with road-issues, I would NOT have bought one. The easist maybe, would have been to have chains or belt to switch into when road/snow-issues. 🤔👍👍Any way, nice video.

Great video. I also dont like onions, especially raw ones. You are right, snowmobiles do tend to make you smell like you drove through exhaust. Love your dogs. Stay safe

Hi there, you could chop up the rest of the onion and put it bagged in the freezer. You wouldn't have to look at it and there would always be some available for CityGirl 👍

you need to demo an expedition, 900 ace SWT with reverse, you will like it. New machines have come a long ways . If you learned how to drive that older sled you would like it.

That's a sign that snow is insulating the ice and water below. If you get stuck in it you're done. Happened to me. I propped up the track on some wood and then rode it out at night when things froze up.

The dogs leading you home. I like the orange hat lol.

Fried potatoes and onions are great!

That is one cool looking snowmobile, it suited you Russel 😀

Great video. Should always have a snowmobile in the inventory just in case. Again great job

That snowmobile on the pond made me flash back to one day one summer many years ago, when we were at the lake. This quite beloved, but very quirky friend of ours, for some odd reason, had an old snow machine there. He fired it up and shot out onto the lake. He made it at least 50 yards before the thing sank like a rock and he swam back to shore. It was surprising it went that far, and I imagine it is still there. I'll admit it sounds improbable, but several other folks and I saw it happen. Not sure why there were no consequences. 😆Among other things, it made me wonder if they could ever event a combo snow machine/jet ski. Not that that would help you out any, Russell. Just stick with the ATV unless you work out something better. Have you ever tried Pad Thai sauce? I like Hoisin too, but I think it's my favorite.

I would say tracks for the atv would be the best option 😎👍🏻

Hello Russel... Thank you for the share. YaaaY! 😊 Blessings.

I Liked the Video...glad Ray came and you got to try the Polaris. I think for you ATV and come spring...just clean up the trail and knock that hill down a bit 👍👍 You will be ready for next winter👍 Oh I would get a sled for ATV so you can get more stuff home 👍👍

Hello R & R. Beautiful views !!

Russell, chop that onion up, put it in a freezer bag and pop it in the freezer. Then you'll have some on hand for cooking up your next dish!

When cutting up vegetables (e.g. onion) cut it in half FIRST. Then place it FLAT. Now you have a nice stable SAFE vegetable to work with. Fingertips are precious.

Superior filming Russel! 👍👍👍

Russell.....If you don't have a need for the Snowmobile....why have it right?? We have two almost the same Machine Ray had there but 5 years older a 93 and 94. I found the Snowmobiles hard to get use to, like you said not as nice as riding a quad, but ours have been very reliable and worth their weight in gold to get around our property in winter. If we could afford a nice ATV like yours we might not have a need for the old snowmobiles either. Best wishes.

Re. onion - fry the onion pieces first, maybe with tiny bits of bacon, and add eggs to make scrambled eggs. Tastes quite good.

I would suggest tracks ,best of both worlds , with tracks u would have no problem in you trail in the winter then the wheels in the summer , get more use with one machine

Those older sleds are very reliable which s a good thing - two stroke oil smell is indeed unpleasant and permeate into your clothes. The other thing is those machines have a high rev sweet spot were clutch and motor will run better at or over 5000 rpm. As for the ride, they call them ass-bangers 😂 because a bump will travel through the seat and up your spine - not to comfortable after a while. The newer 4-strokes are wonderful machines but spendy - your atv trail looked to be very good btw - cheers

Hello from oxford England-love all your videos

Great video and drone work. You have a good machine already. I would get taller tries with chains for the winter. Or tracks for your utv. Newer skis have reverse but all or them fall over in deep snow unless you get a very old one that has two tracks underneath like the old Russian models.

Love your orange helmet. Easy to see. Sleek machine.

Looked like you were in an outboard on the pond! You'd have that trail groomed in no time once you master the skidoo.

Snowmobiles are a lot of fun on ice if it is frozen solid.

awesome...!!!

I Loved The Orange Helmet 😂😂💜

thank.you for sharng.

"Way to end your Citizen Kane moment there.." Thought you were going for the "Rosebud" reference.

OK, you know I will comment on this, lol. That machine is a nice machine but, not suited for your needs or location. The perfect machine for you would be a 1998 ArcticCat 340 with reverse and a 2-up seat so you have a place for city girl to sit. This is a working machine, I have one I bought brand new and still use it to haul trees out of the woods. The perfect machine is what I described but, not neccessarily the same one. You also would be better off with a single or double widetrack Arctic Cat, Polaris or Skidoo which are the best machines for what you need and they will out perform any 4 wheeler in the Winter. Keep an eye out for one of these. Just keep an open mind about snowmachines, they are a way of life here in Alaska. By the way, there is a guy in Alaska, John Suter who does run Poodles in sled dog races and even ran and completed the Iditarod using a mix of Poodles and Alaska sled dogs. Anyway, it was a fun video, say hi to city girl.

I think a sled would be good for winter, not getting stuck on those hills in the quad.!

Good morning Russell, I've watched the handful of your videos and you would be able to handle that trail much better with a little bit taller, narrower, knobbier tires. Dinner looked great! And I really enjoy your videos 👍☮️

Remember, you’re comparing a 24 year old snowmobile to a basically brand new atv. If it were an old crappy atv without reverse, you probably wouldn’t like it very much either…. That being said, I think the atv serves you much better then a sled will. Tracks for your atv, even better!

If you dont like the smell maybe a 4 stroke with the 600 ace engine would work for you. Its very quite aswell 🙂

I love the video with the snowmobile. The problem when you get to much snow the snowmobile would come in handy. I don't like snowmobile I lost someone dear to me. If you learn to drive it in a safety manner way they are fun. Your ATV if you would like it better that's ok to. Also Russell I cook with that teriyaki sauce is not tasty. I love teriyaki sauce if you know of a better one let me know. Also the noodles you cooked I never had them before. Where do get them. Thank you for showing your video. Russell had a wonderful day today. Judy
