Wicked Argo Trip

[jock465]

forgive me guys cos i'm from the UK where most of our Argos are work vehicles for hunting. are you hunting or just camping when you go along these trails and how long do you stay for?...looks like awesome fun wish we had the space and wilderness to do this!

[RockDoctor07]

@jock465 Hunting, Camping, Fishing, ect. We use them for everything :-)

Sometimes we go out for as much as 7 weeks at a time.

hows one of these vs a mule becase im think about getting a 8x8 750 hdi im looking for somthing i can haul alot with and still handle the trails 

[RockDoctor07]

@cherokee445 Sorry, I have never had the chance to operate a Mule, so I would just be blowing smoke up your a## if I even tried to guess. I have no doubt that the HDI will haul whatever you want, but personally I prefer the Conquests (not made any more).

Cheers

[jackreece123]

Can u buy one of these in america

[RockDoctor07]

@jackreece123 You bet, there are also other machines like Atex, Swamp Fox, Maxes, Hustler, Mudd Ox. Check out 6x6world if you want to get into the whole AATV thing.

cool video this would be awesome... throw all your gear on and go camping and riding for a week.

[RockDoctor07]

@bignik1375 Well, since I have 4 Conquests, I think I'm probably biased, lol. I prefer the 8x8 models, the smaller ones just don't have enough cargo space for me most of the time. That's not to say they're not any good, they are a great toy, just not for me.

that mess letting the dog walk

[RockDoctor07]

@SarannyLexDCI The dogs love it, and would have to be tied into the machines if we wanted to keep them there. They are welcome to ride with us, and do sometimes, but they typically jump out if we try to force them.

Can sure see the angle of that hill on this vid , Great trail

[eclipser2004]

My old dog loved all this stuff!! He wouldn't move all day Monday after a weekend in the cabin, but by Tuesday or Wednesday he'd be ready to go again! First one in the car every weekend. He would sit on the lawn and watch me pack in the coolers and bags/boxes. Would not move away from the car for love nor money!! I had a used 1980 Argo and it was OK but the Newfoundland Govt banned the use of ATV's on 'non-established trails' , ie bogs, marshes and anywhere else the Argo could go - Fuckers!

[cire00200]

how did that quad make it on some of those trails. Also any 6x6 or all 8x8 argos

[RockDoctor07]

@cire00200 Quads do OK. That's all I used for yrs going out this way.

Not many 6x6's around here. "They just don't have enough cargo space" is the most common reason I hear.

[RockDoctor07]

@MrMrtiki Actually, most of the time, the dogs take of chasing birds along the edge of the lake when we get there.

There are always lots of stops and breaks along the way. I've seen people keep up to us while on foot, working their way along game trails in the trees.

nice video, wish i had one, your dog look like he had a blast :)

[landahoycaptain]

Hi I figure you must be rednecks as you appear to let your dog walk all the way.......................

[RockDoctor07]

@landahoycaptain The dogs have the chance to ride anytime they want. Usually they bail out within a few minutes. I see no reason to force my dogs to ride if they don't want to.

By the way, my dog(s) are not in this vid :-)

[MrBossilini]

@landahoycaptain your an idiot dogs love this ,they do it over and over why do u think the dogs wavin its tail

[atvcanamdan]

awsom!!.....looks like you guys had a blast

[branthunter]

Another great trip. What is the origin of the trail you're using---oilpatch cutline? trapper's trail? guide trail? couerier dubois?

[RockDoctor07]

@branthunter Mostly Cutlines from Forestry and Oilpatch. Some are just trails we push through from one cutline to another.

[turtleryan]

where bouts is this at, i want to say northern bc?

[RockDoctor07]

@turtleryan So far North, you can see the NWT.

Just on our way out the door to head back in there :-)

[GanGoz]

Very cool........nothing like that in Aussie, love the vids mate.

[VTRidgeline]

ya thought it was a 6x6 but non ampib. Gator or such. But i am wrong eh?

[VTRidgeline]

Awsome. Looks like that gattor made it ok?

[RockDoctor07]

[dedwards8708]
