If those are your new Firestone tires spinning in that little bit of snow, I'm going to get some BF Goodrich A/Ts because I didn't get that much tire spin with my Bridgestones in the snow we had last winter.

nope i still have my crappy (for winter) bridgestone duler A/T's on they are a great summer tire though. i have not put my studded snow tires(on stock wheels) back on yet. waiting till we get snow here in town to save the studs in the tires from unnecessary wear.

cant tell from the vid though, but it was a very steep incline and the snow was wet packed and about a foot and a half deep i was dragging my axle's before she spun out lol

i want snow so bad now!!!!!

Leave the snow tires in the garage and go a hundred miles away and it will surely snow a couple feet deep. It's Murphy's Law, whenever you are least prepared the crap starts flying.

The phone might not help if you get shot!


man if you ever get in trouble on the river call me, and be careful where your at on that side of the bridge i shoot allot in the direction. from the woods.

b-uno; If you are an ex-military with firearms training you should know not to be shooting towards any populated areas or roadways. Even a .22 short can kill at a half mile or more and I doubt that you are shooting "plinkers" in Alaska. I know I wouldn't, with all the wildlife there is up there! I like shooting something that can stop almost anything that might threaten me.

I like to think I can get out of any situation I get into so when I carry its something "big enough". I like the WW II M1 Garand, BAR, AK 47 and other medium bore rifles.

I'm not trying to call you out about it because I don't think you thought about what you said in your post but there are a lot of people with guns that couldn't care less.

when i shoot its usually with a good backstop, but i do allot of hunting in them woods along the river for small game like rabbits and grouse. and so do the other people that own land there. im pretty safe but i cant vouch for the others in them regards.
