Let me tell you, that's an old thread and took a bit of cleverness to find!
Everybody, when you look at our rally and you realize that 109 powered vehicles makes it one of the biggest in the Country, this is where it came from. A little cookout in my backyard.
1. We have not done safety inspections and so far, haven't had many failures, other than what you'd expect when offroading.
2. Trail rides are not set up on a scale of difficulty or experience. That would require an epic amount of effort. The trails at Durhamtown are set up with "walkarounds" so as you're going through, if there's an obstacle you don't wanna' attempt, you can bypass it.
3. The trail ride leaders are all experienced recovery experts and we've never had a vehicle we couldn't extricate. If you look at the 2013 multimedia thread, you'll find pics and videos of Ferro's M37 in a ditch and pulling it forward or backwards would have risked it's primo sheetmetal, so squirt truck and dumpster positioned a 5-ton dump at the top of a hill and pulled the M37 sideways first, then backwards.
There is no fear of a stranded vehicle not being able to be removed. We have multiple 5 ton wreckers. We could sink a 5-ton to it's rood and when we were done, all it would need is a bath
