Pretty awesome video👍👍 I have a 91JagDlx440LT 144 low gear for heavy logging and my and cousin, nephew follows along with my 92TundraLT and their polaris Sport SKS 151 with 4x10' sleds in tow. When we were done loading the 3 sleds with spruce logs I take that Tundra and we go boondocking and little ticker never gets stuck😂 My nephew loves my little TundraLT😁
We’re really enjoying your videos! That’s the kind of skidoo trips I always loved! I started out skidooing in 1963 when dad bought his 6hp skidoo. Great memories of so many fishing and hunting trips back in the bush with the old skidoo’s, hus-ski, snobugs, etc. My son and I have a Skandic SWT and a 20” track 600. We had 2 1989 tundra LT. Loved them. We’re seriously considering the 600 ACE. Love how quiet, and the low end torque for crawling between the trees or pulling a load. Btw, we love the music you’re added. Nothing better than good old time east coast music. Had some awesome house jams in Cape Breton when we visited my wife’s family. You have another subscriber from Northern Ontario 😊👍
You are sure getting the snow, Your storage box idea sounds well thought out, plenty of storage. Looking forward to your hot tent video. Glad to hear you doing better as well.
Thanks my friend. Well to be perfectly honest, I'm copying the plans my buddy did for his. However I'm going to mod the places where he wish he would have built it a little different. So I'm taking what he's got and learning from his mistakes/regrets to try and make mine better.
I'm also looking forward to seeing your sled box Charlie along with your hot tent camping. I just bought a pair of 2013 tundra extremes with aluminum trailer that had only 350 miles on each for 15K. I actually wanted the 600 Ace, but the price was right on the pair of these and my wife thinks she wants a sled that is faster. At least the 600 E-Tec Motors don't smoke very much with two cycle oil. Anyway, it will be fun to see how you build your sled box. 😁🏔️❄️
I'm glad you enjoy the video, Yes not to many of us made it out in perfect health. Most with back, knee, ankle and feet issues to start... I'm going to make a real effort to lose weight, start working out, and get back some more pain free days because my retirement is going to the most I can make of it. Thank-you for your service my friend.
I have a 2018 Ski Doo tundra LT 600 Ace. Full wrap bumper, ski skins and skid plate. Love it. My friends with mountain sled can't believe how it just goes where I want it to. The gas mileage is awesome too.
The Tundra is an amazing snow machine and that's why it's called the Mechanical Snowshoe... I would love to see where the Tundra Extreme can go.... It would be scary...
Jen check out the forecast for tonight. 130 Km winds and ice pellets... 120 km is a Cat 1 hurricane... Oh and yes, I love that sled, she gets you out and back with no worries... Check out this linkweather.gc.ca/city/pages/nl-27_metric_e.html
I'm hoping to get out this weekend for a couple of nights... But here in Newfoundland, our weather changes so rapidly it's hard to plan that for out. And it's Wednesday....
Mule sure made short work of that snow, Charlie ! glad ya left in the Bloopers, Looing forward to your upcoming video of the Hot-Tent ! Sure getting your share of Powder. Be well, Friend ! ATB T God Bless
. I was just lamenting to a friend in Maine on the snowless winter and warm temps we have been having in western Pennsylvania. It's 54 degrees F here today and only 1/2" of measurable snow so far this winter. Definitely an abnormal winter, for sure. Cheers! Whipple
Ouch, I hate those type of winters... Yes we've been hammered with the snow here but now they are calling for rain for the next two days... Grrrrrrrr. I'm never going to get out in the canvas tent to do some rabbit catching
NLGhostWolf . I feel your pain. We used to do a lot of winter camping with a reenactment group I belonged to. We used bales of straw under a canvas floor in a canvas wedge tent to give us some insulation from the frozen ground. Trouble is, we have had nothing but mud this year. No fun to camp in and a royal pain in the arse to clean up after. The gun club where we camped used to just let us spread all the straw around on top of the snow after our camp out and they would shred it with a tractor and mower in the spring. It made lots of nesting material for the birds!!! Cheers! Whipple
Weather has been my biggest obstacle in getting out. I don't want to get out for just one night. If i'm going to go through all the time and effort to set-up the tent I would like to be able to get 2+ nights in the tent and take it down dry... Can't seem to get 3 nice days in a roll... crazy weather...
Oh we've got that now up back... Was snowshoeing today and came across a bear den, looked in the hole and there has to be 5 feet of snow there and that was half way between the house and where I was camping... Got to go back and get some video of the bear den, my wife was with me and holding the camera and when I said bear den she did a 180 and was gone with the camera...
@@NLGhostWolf Lol i think i might respectfully retreat myself. I get grumpy when someone wakes me before I'm done sleeping. Can't imagine how a bear might react haha
I went back and got a little video but the snow where I was standing felt like it was collapsing so I quickly did the old 180 myself... Not sure if the bear would like someone to drop-in unannounced LOL
Hello Charlie, greetings from Abitibi Quebec I bought my Tundra last spring ......and started using it this winter. Your videos on the Tundra greatly influenced by decision to go with machine. Yesterday went on a ride to my camp in deep fresh powder....i still can t believe how this thing floats on snow.....i was up to my thighs when climbing off. Looking at it s size i was skeptical ...you can literally crawl along without any worries.....big change from the " boat anchors" i used to use in the past.
Yes Sir, they designed a keeper here for sure. Not sure why it floats the way it does but she can go in some amazing places regardless of the depth of snow... Just climb on and go... I'm going to be checking the weather and if it's going to be good, I'm heading in the woods to do a little winter camping and rabbit catching... I'm glad you like your ski-doo... If you can get it to move just 1 inch forward or backwards your not stuck.... She'll tap her own trail and go again... I love mine and if I even need to get another ski-doo I hope they are BRP have the foresight and wisdom to continue to make these sleds... Because my next sled if ever needed and still being produced will be the BRP Ski-doo TUNDRA 600 ACE LT....
Hi there from cape breton Was over nfld on Jan 3rd and 4th to Garnish delivered a boat to a guy , lots of snow across the island. I'm hoping to get in my hot tent this weekend had it for over a year didn't get out yet, it's a terry tent 9x 12 , try to get some video on Cheers David A
Hey Dave I have a Terry's Tent as well. I got a video of Terry making my tent. I'll attach the link to that video so you can see where your tent was made. And How it was made. The weather here has been brutal... Calling for rain and freezing rain again tomorrow and 130 km winds... ua-cam.com/video/FZpOvSO8isE/v-deo.html
You mention that you did some military time . What trade did you do ? I was Navy did many trip to St John NF. I work with many Newfoundlander on the ship.
it good on a trail but I won't buy it as a trail riding sled. There are other sleds out there better designed to the trail. This one is designed for off trail or making your own trails. The nicest thing about it on a groomed trail is it's ski-stance you're not stuck or caught in the standard sleds ski-tracks that often cause you to jerk side to side as your carbides track in the tracks of the sleds that passed before you. Tundra's make their own tracks...
then this is a good sled for you. I love mine and will buy another Tundra in the future if ever needed. I plan on having mine for many years to come. Great side hilling in powder snow, a nightmare on crusty snow. Great for hauling wood, and quietly getting around in the woods. I have many videos here on the Tundra, please look through them and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
I should be sleeping in the tent tomorrow evening. Not sure how many days I'll be staying in the tent... I would like to catch a few rabbits while I'm up there.
It's coming but now I've got another weather delay. I was hoping to get out and put up the tent today, however it's calling for rain for tomorrow and Thursday... Not catches any breaks weather wise here.
Once the driveway and decks are cleared I love the snow... Just got to get out into the great outdoors and make the most of it. Truly wish I didn't have to do the driveway every day though... Makes for a long winter... We are in the middle of another storm this very minute. wind gusts of 130 km/hr 120 is a Cat 1 Hurricane... Bet I'm going to find a lot of cracked off trees in the morning.
I've been videoing this storm a little about this storm to add to the video I'm editing to post next. Just a heads up, they are calling for 150 km/h winds here tonight...
Oh yes my buddy. The camping trip will be videoed for sure... Been thinking a lot of how I want to capture this adventure... I've been waiting 2 1/2 years to get out in the tent... Between personal commitments and weather, it hasn't been able to happen yet. And won't be happening tomorrow... Freezing rain and 130 KM winds... We've been getting some crazy winds and unstable weather...
Oh Trent, don't you worry about the old Tundra haha, And thanks, it seems like I've kicked the Cold... Still got the lingering cough but I hear that parr for the course... Thanks for watching and stay well. Cheers
No here in Newfoundland we get a number of milds throughout the winter months and the snow packs harder and more solid. If the snow stayed in the powder conditions all year I would be inclined to give them a try but due to the shape of the front end with no "A-arms" sticking out to dig into the snow, the front end just rides up on top of the snow like a ski... So I'm not exactly sure how effective the ski-skins would be? I guess they would surely help at very slow speeds and reduce the ability of you plowing snow as you crawl along in deep powder, maybe? But because I live here where we do get a number of milds throughout the winters she's good just the way she is for me.
Love your videos, Can I ask a question, I can see the Tundra LT is amazing in deep snow, How does it run on groomed trails? Can it keep up ok with the group if they have the wider front suspension thx Trying to decide on my first sled
Well Mark the Tundra is a Utility Sled but by its very design happens to be outstanding in deep snow. It's narrow stance makes it extremely nimble and a true joy for slowly picking around in the back country. You can ride it on the groomed trails but it's not designed for that in my honest opinion. I ride my on groomed trails from time to time and have no issues. However, there are sled out there that are designed for both worlds... If you are going to be spending equal time on the groomed trails as you are in the off trails, then you'd do well to look at the cross-over sleds... Maybe I will go up to the dealership and do a video on the different sleds/models and what they are best designed for.
Well just in my yard alone it ranges from 2+ feet to about 5+ feet. So up in the hills you're looking at 3 - 7 feet more in places where it drifts in... Less in the wind swept areas... Most of the winter we'll have bare ground and exposed rocks on the wind swept places... I know of some places up there where there is 12+ feet of snow already... But that's due to drifting snow filling in the low areas.
Pretty awesome video👍👍
I have a 91JagDlx440LT 144 low gear for heavy logging and my and cousin, nephew follows along with my 92TundraLT and their polaris Sport SKS 151 with 4x10' sleds in tow.
When we were done loading the 3 sleds with spruce logs I take that Tundra and we go boondocking and little ticker never gets stuck😂
My nephew loves my little TundraLT😁
They are indeed amazing ski-doo's, great for picking around in the woods and hauling logs or firewood
i miss newfoundlands snow, people and beauty. have fun out there , used to love ice fishing on bonne bay pond
I enjoy ice fishing as well. I hope you find your way back to the island soon...

Pro tip : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

You play hard for sure. Don't let that sled throw you again... lol
Oh I don't try to let it, but sometimes it has a mind of it's own... LOL
great video again, have you ever felt the need for ski skins or wider skis? or do the stock ds2's do just fine?
No here in Newfoundland we get a number of milds throughout the winter months and the snow packs harder and more solid. If the snow stayed in the powder conditions all year I would be inclined to give them a try but due to the shape of the front end with no "A-arms" sticking out to dig into the snow, the front end just rides up on top of the snow like a ski...
