Something you should consider especially in the winter is to keep about a weeks worth of extra food in the cabin. That way if this should happen again you wont have to worry about having to get out in it and go to the store.

You can get snow chains, cable chains for ATV.. this would help a lot. Also the ATV is getting high centered on snow, so possibly consider a 2-3 inch suspension lift.. These are easy to install.

If you're looking for a packed trail use a car hood with some weight on it.

I live in Ireland, Dublin in Fact. we get an inch of snow falling over night, and this wee town comes to a standstill, we just cant handle it. doesnt bother me though, il cycle in any weather. incidentally, try putting a tarp down at your door when it snows, then lift it to clear the snow from your porch. same with steps.

This month my area got a couple 1-foot snowfalls. This made for a workout with the ATV plow at my place and my father's place. When I go on rides with the ATV club I air down to 4.5 psi in the ATV tires for traction. You want a compressor on board to air up for roads. I wish for power steering for my arms.

Nice job on the cabin. Certainly got yourself some exercise walking out. The recording was great, enjoyed the scenery.

Honestly, as long as I had everything I needed to last me a few months as far as food and such, I'd love to be stuck there. You have a roof and four walls, your dogs, and an awesome view.

I would LOVE to be stuck in a snow storm and even more so at your cabin! The view, the peace and quiet, the warmth of the fire and puppies! I would be in heaven!! ️

Hi Russ. I believe it would be a good investment to buy chains for your 4 wheeler. As well, I wonder if you could fashion a Chevron shaped plow for the front of your bike to push the top 10 or 12 inches of snow to the sides, once you get chains.

I imagine most of your eggs broke on that rough trip. You could try a carton of liquid eggs. Even if it freezes, it is still good when it thaws out. It would also be good to have a stash of powdered eggs and other freeze-dried food at your cabin in case you ever get snowed in (again).

Russ, be careful, my friend who works in the ER calls that kind of snow... heart attack snow so be careful!!

Note to self for next time. Get groceries ahead of a storm and consider getting a snow machine? Loved your drone work and your amazing tenacity when exhausted. Well done! You live in a gorgeous place
