And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
They’re tread elements, paddles to be more accurate. One of the Sherp’s selling points is it’s floatability (is that a word?). The paddles provide “traction” in the water. Believe it or not, for traveling in the snow, a totally smooth bladder type tire actually works better, but it won’t provide a lot of propulsion in the water.
helped a guy set one of those back on the tires after it hit a rock a bit too fast. heavy little thing. it involved using some chain, strapping, and a nine thousand pound dodge diesel pickup truck. it started right up and drove off.

ReplyDeleteMade in Ukraine near Kyiv. Might be a bit difficult to buy right now.

I am guessing the tires displace enough water to make it float and actually move in water.
ReplyDeleteAre those chains on the tires, or are they cleats?
