I spent 13 years in the military with multiple combat deployments. You make it look easy, fun and relaxing! I have an older 2000 8x8 Argo Response that I would love to go on a deep "lost in the woods" camping trip with. Good job and keep up the videos. Thanks!
@TheEmporiumOutdoors5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your service my friend! Yup get that Argo fired up and plan a trip. The 8x8 would be better for general use with more traction and cargo ability. The 6x6 works great too and fits in my truck box 👍 The Argo provides me with confidence in no matter what I hit down the trail I can make my way through it. With other UTVs I hit areas I didn't want to deal with or winch my way through. Hope you get out soon! Best wishes Michael & Esme!

Michael, First thing is the Argo stability. Really think you need floatation that you can attach to the sides, so you can use the Argo as boat with the rack on it. Attach catwalk like fenders, fiberglass and foam strong enough to walk on.Everything I have seen on ultra light back packing is 20lbs or less. I think you are there, you are carrying gear for Esme and beer that most do not and they have 20lbs just to care for themselves. Good job there. Still a big fan of the rib pack added to your set up for all the survival gear for quick access. Also, add a Helikon Swagman poucho liner and you have a coat and sleeping bag insert in one.Good set up if you ever had to walk out vice ride the Argo. Good get home gear.

Should arrive tomorrow.

Yeah, Corporals Corner did a review on the swagman and that’s why I bought one. Awesome quality in my opinion. I am a fan of multi use items. I tried it on and it fit great being 6 foot at 250. Leave the buckle straps looser than advertised for more freedom of movement in the arms. Reminds me of the quilted liners of USGI field jackets in being light weight and warm. I will carry it as my jacket, sleeping bag liner, and undercoat when using my hammock.

A thought... I'm assuming your bar set-up on the Argo is not suited for roll protection? If that is the case, one option is to cut all four main posts, then slug them with an insert which has an OD the same diameter as the ID of the posts. Bolt/weld those to the bottom stubs (below the cut). Then slide the top back on over the slugs (which would stick up) and drill holes in each post/slug to receive a hitch pin to make for a quick release to remove as needed in the field. Chamfer the edges of the slugs' outer edge and the inner edge of the upper posts to make it easier to marry them back together again. Great trip. If the double shoulder straps of the modular pack set-up you have become a bit cumbersome to layer on, a guy could shorten the straps for the 10L pack and add some clips. This could enable you to have them come over your shoulders and clip onto the D-rings of your harness, just below your clavicles. I have a Toaks 750ml also, and just added a 1600ml as well. Looking forward to trying that out this month. I also have "plasma" lighters, which charge via micro USB (no petroleum fuel to worry about) as another means of fire kit. No better sleeping than in a hammock. I'll be trying out my new ENO double nest this month. I think my new top quilt is the same as the one you have, my bottom quilt is a One Tigris, worked well last spring.

You might try putting the wheel spacers back on to give the Argo some extra stability in the water... It seems to help on my Avenger. Last time I dropped into a pond like the one you were in I had to winch myself back out by wrapping my cable around 3-4 swamp spruce about 1-2” thick... I also had my rubber tracks on and ended up paddling back to shore with my shovel... I never go out without a shovel in the Argo now ;)
@TheEmporiumOutdoors5 жыл бұрын
Actually that a great idea! I have the offset rims so just need to flip the wheels over. I was thinking the same thing about getting out 😄 - I did have a paddle with me and an anchor - I considered tying the anchor to the winch cable and hoping it would bite in the soft ground as a last resort to pull me out. But it worked out ok after all! Do you find it floats less with the rubber tracks on?
@PuskwaskaOutdoors5 жыл бұрын
It sits a few inches lower in the water with the tracks on for sure but i think it’s still safe, I don’t carry much weight in the back of the machine so it floats nose down all the time too... I do know that with the tracks and my snow plow on the machine with no weight in the back it floated surprisingly well when I was testing it in very shallow water this spring... I do hope you are carrying an extra 50+ feet of winch line and a small snatch block when you are out exploring alone, When you get an Argo stuck it seems like it takes twice as much pull to get them out as it takes for a side by side...maybe it’s just because they drive 4x as far into a bad spot as anything short of a Haglund or Sherp 😂

SOooooo, was there any fish in the lost/hidden lake? Another great video. Have a great 24 weekend from NOVA SCOTIA.
@TheEmporiumOutdoors5 жыл бұрын
I didn't catch any this time but it looked fishy to me - Ill be back for a longer trip and actually get out in the lake to explore it more soon! Happy trails from Alberta!

Yup - The sea to summit filter works but not as well without the paper filter unfortunately 🤔

i think i have seen all of your videos, and i don't recall you ever speaking about running into any type of wild animals....so have you ever ran into mountain lion, bear, wolverine, bigfoot any type of critters?
@TheEmporiumOutdoors5 жыл бұрын
Hi Mr Waynes, In the area I camp there are black bears, moose, elk, deer, cougar, lynx, wolf, coyote for the bigger species. I've come across all of them from time to time but never a wolf. Maybe one day I'll see one!

Have you ever been threatened by a wild animal and do you carry a gun to protect yourself??

The tarp looks tiny. Is it 1.5m by 2.7m? And you survived the thunderstorm with it? That's impressive. Maybe I should replace my 3x3m tarp with something smaller then :) Thanks for awesome video.

Hi Anton E, It's the tarp from my Hennessy Explorer Asym. I was pretty sheltered but still subject to rain and some wind but I was also surprised it worked so well! I have a Warbonnet Thunderfly on order - which is extremely big 🤔

You almost need a big bush bumper on that thing... at least you know you’re likely in pristine territory with all that bushwhacking. Next time, if possible perhaps reduce the music during your travel time... just the sound of the motor is music enough.
@TheEmporiumOutdoors5 жыл бұрын
HI Richard - I was thinking about the bush bar for the front too. I agree the music was a little off putting in that situation - we live and learn! 👍
