It was done to make authorities think there was only bear poaching going on near the Six Rivers National Forest. A favorite found-footage movie is Troll Hunter. Bears substitute for trolls in this gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good flick! What's not to love about hunting trolls out of a battered Defender 110?!? Edit to add: Chainsaw--yes, I need to build a suitable storage box for the husky or get a battery powered version. While up in the Book Cliffs of UT early Spring 2 years ago, I was looking for an escape route from 10,000 feet and ice/snow combined with death falls over the edge of the road. Came across one truck, precariously perched at about 45 degrees and ready to roll down 300'. I looked at it for maybe 1/2 hr trying to figure a way to help. Roads were so slick and not a tree or boulder to be had as an anchor. The Rover would have gone down with his truck when it rolled if I tried a tow and I'm fairly certain it would have. Anyway, the "route" out started easy enough, soon turned into moguls then a deep gully not much wider than the narrow Rover and higher than the truck. It wound on for miles like that, no way to turn around anywhere. Then the tree--double leader 22" or so main with an an 18" or so secondary, I had a bow saw and a hatchet. Blew out the passenger side window into my girl's face and tore a wheel flare getting turned around. Bring a chainsaw--CHECK.

BeansBaxter78 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Glad you are OK. I swear by my inReach. I started out with a month by month plan, but I ended up using it so much, I just went with a yearly plan. I have not had any issues with it here in Alaska. Oddly enough, the only place I had issues getting a signal was in Stevens County Washington. I was in a very thickly wooded area and had a hard time getting a signal. It would work, but generally only on the logging roads, away from the trees. Earlier this year, I had gone back into and area during breakup and drove through a mud hole, and ended up knocking a hole in my radiator, luckily, it held until I got back to civilization until it began to leak. Had to get a new radiator installed. First time my little "hobby" has cost me money (aside from equipment).

Madison5716 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Throw in a duffle bag with extra clothes, a bunch of Mainstay bars, a sleeping bag and some water, at least! So glad you're safe. Be careful, man. I like reading your posts here! Happy new year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
