Taking this noble steed...

..On an ice road on the Yukon River to a nasty lil place called Stevens Village to do this...

Ah, you delivering ICE CREAM, yes?
Sounds like a High-Profit venture.

Well it used to be a Snap-On truck and the driver had a sense of humor because it did have a PA system with the ice cream truck jingle.

What will you be doing when you get there? And what does that place do?

Did you freak out the first time you drove on an ice road?

We are setting up the camp. That camp there is in the same spot this one will be set up in. We did the one pictured 2 years ago.. first week was -60 and finally warmed up to zero by the time we finished.

Yeah, sounds like bowling pins getting hit when you drive on them... The ice on this one will be 28-36" thick.. capable of handling a truck @ 100,000 pounds.

ETA tag for updates.

2- 50 gallon tanks... only a 5 hour trip from Fairbanks so I will have plenty.. then we will have a tanker deliver fuel into bladder systems.

That doesn't seem that thick. I'd feel comfortable at 5ft of ice. Maybe.

So you guys are building bug out camps for the elite of this country to go until all the fires have burned out from the economic crash. Makes sense most refugees will head south.

Naw, just for some oil company to blow some explosives and read the seismic feedback.
