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.

Torn on the 4 wheeler in that country. Cover way more ground faster, but the noise and tracks it makes kill the vibe. You experience everything less. Maybe. Dunno.
Depends on how far you are away from others in their SxS and how much noise they're making. Anyone running stereo pods boomboxing in the deep backcountry should be left to walk out.
Can't beat them for farming, totally changed how getting chores are done, running fence lines, fetching parts tools and supplies, moving people around, real game changer, really great when you got a dozen deer kill tags, get all that meat back, take a few days, now a few hours, and its easy to get up on them for a close shot. In deer meat alone last few years begun to pay back on the buggy.
Rarely. Mechanics cost less than vets, quads don't bite or crap, and they don't get spooked by snakes or hunted by wolves.
And the quad's only a problem when it's running. Once you turn it off, the solitude is better than with pack animals, and the smell and mess hugely better.
Only objection with the quads is they're mechanical mules, priced like mechanical Ferraris.
Depends on whether you are running around doing work, or sightseeing.

ReplyDeleteMy Samurai I got for $800. back in 2006 and still following my Winnebago wherever we wander sure works better than that for me. 1987-"Ninja"
ReplyDeletemy age and physical condition made the choice for me. still enjoy getting out.
ReplyDeleteI understand the sentiment. So usable in so many environments, but a horse or mule is so much more befitting such beauty and solitude.
ReplyDeleteRarely.

For fixing fence or hauling out an elk the UTV is my vehicle of choice.
