Some more photos showing water coming up in our old tracks (did not take any pictures of the worst parts, sorry) and snowdepth where one of our snowmobiles got stuck.

Hey Erik,

Great work so far. Amazing conditions. Love the ski/sled idea. Best wishes for a safe recovery to you all. Hope she firms up when you need it.

Regards

Default BV 206 - loudest transmission on the planet!

Great recovery job, and probably the smartest tool for the job.

How much experimentation did you have to do to get the sled right?

Thanks for all kind words.
This expedition has caused me a lot of problems not only that I had to cancel it but due to other reasons. We managed to do some damage to the prepared snowmobile iceroad (donīt know the right word, sorry) that I now have to repair and as you know Iīm a long long way from the scene of action. In my search for someone to help me repair the iceroad I got a tip of another UC stranded in the mountain! I called the owner and he confirmed it was an UC and it sits not that far from nearest road, about 2km. Will make a trip there this summer. Pansar is cut down and a Volvo engine has replaced the V8, donīt know anything more other than that for the moment.
Erik
