I have been on a snow run with 5 rigs, everyone got stuck side by side at 11pm at night trying to leave a wheeling spot.
This was some nice built up rigs with good tires, full lockers, and no pull pal to save us! We had some friends that were in Town that came back out when we did not show up after 2 am and saved us.
Just up hill from me was Kernel
Me and Kel
A toyota and another rig on 42's in front of me!
Now this was some NASTY stuff, we winched forward to the point we where all next to one another, but once we where there we had no way to get out!!!
2 rigs came back in to get us out, only one made it to us and pulled 3 of us out. Two rigs spent the night.
Not much to winch off out there
Now this spot is CRAZY, even in the spring the land has a hard top, like a crust to a pie, but under it is sloppy mud, here I was sunk to the frame rails, 3 rigs went over this spot no problem, I stoped and got out for a few minutes and the ground was broken up. Once I got in and started to go . . . Winching on hard ground??? :
That night a pull pal would have been woth a lot of money!
$300-$400 I don't know, but if you had one that night I would have paid $100 just to use it. 2 hours in the cold mud and snow sucked!
The photos are from a good friends land near Loyalton CA, he sold the property last year :tears:
It was not the best place to wheel, but you could do anything, and he liked it if you made new trails.
I hope you are not referring to creek crossing.
I have some comments on the rest of the pictures.
1. From what I remember, not many people cared about it back there.
2. Most of competitions use old logging roads. It's just difficult to see it was a road once.
3. The swamp will heal in 1 season, I think.

I might be wrong. Here are a few notes on Ladoga. The elevation is 0. latitude should be 60 degrees North. Snow falls from late October and comes off in April-May.
Back in school days we've been tought that land to the north is very gentle, but Ladoga region was never considered north.
I've never participated in a competition like shown on the pictures, and I do not think I will ever.
Just in case, Ladoga is in Russia and the thread was about wheeling tools.
Does anybody know about any attempts to use track-over-tire on a Jeep for snow wheeling ? Are there any lighweight and easy to mount solutions ? Something I can put on before trail and take off before going home.
Mattracks are very expensive and very heavy.
I found some stuff you might like Andrey. This company is out of the L.A. area and has some old WW2 landing ramps that are some used and some not. They are $34.95 for a 10' X 15" and $19.95 for a 5' X 15". Their number is (760) 388-4341 ask for Mark.
I ran accross it looking at some tractor trailer items so I am sure they are very beefy and will do what you want.
