    Nice camera, nice microphone, nice backdrop, and nice clothes... does this mean you have the qualifications to give snowmobile suspension advice... by the things you say, my opinion is no... youtube sucks because anybody think they are qualified to give advice... go to a suspension shop and talk to someone who actually has EXPERIENCE in snowmobile suspension... I personally endorse Ian @Monster Performance...After this video, I have more questions than answers now...

    For Colorado just pull up CoTrex it lists tons of trails and is very user friendly. For more overlanding look up the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route aka IDBDR. Tons of people start north and work their way south. Also look at Arizona’s BDR route but some areas may exclude UTV’s down there.

I’m not really interested in Chevy and GMC needs update their interior but the cost of truck now a days is outrageous so I’m stuck on which to choose and who isn’t going to cost me the most on maintenance.

    Hunting public lands on opening day can be like shopping at the mall on Black Friday. Nevertheless, I enjoy spot & stock and ambush hunting for big game. For this, I take the best backpack spotting scope and binoculars I can afford. I enter an area in stages. First, at the longest distance, I use my spotting scope to pick apart the landscape. As I carefully move into my intended area, I use binoculars to see everything, like a sniper moving through enemy territory. If I spook something, I've lost my advantage.

      Great tactics love to hear that. Optics are a big deal when it comes to having a better chance at killing. The problem for most people is how expensive they are, but if you can afford it that is awesome and super helpful especially on hunts that you can really look a long ways to try to spot!

    • @brentcook24
      @brentcook24 Před 3 měsíci

      If you like them both I would lean to what you can find the best deal on. I prefer the Polaris at this point so for me I deal with some of the problems because of how good the chassis is in my opinion. But if you like both just try to find the best deal as well as a being close to that dealer if you do have problems! Thank you for watching!!
