I dont like the idea of buying a wheeler and taking off to the trails. You need to build your rig to know its weak links, how to fix it should it brake and what parts, tools, gear to carey. There a several examples of people who ventured out into secluded areas and died, even though they had the very things needed to save there own lives. But didnt know how to use them.
My moto's, be prepared, adapt, improvise, overcome!
Haha thought so, the Boy Scout motto of "be prepared" came to mind
upergrin:But yea this is definitly true, i've had plenty of cases where I've had to repair things with even just minor "trail wheeling", and having even just basic tools and supplies really saved my bacon! lol
