Wish I had some way of knowing I should have done it before this winter. Most have the electric start now. Make sure you can get one that you can maneuver easy enough. Mine is getting heavier and harder to mover every year. Camp is where you make it.

How often do you have to shovel/plow/snowblow? Every time it snows, I won't tolerate an ice covered walk or driveway. Used the 4 wheeler with plow yesterday and had the leaf blower out this morning doing the walkways. If we get more than a few inches I get out the UTV and do a mile of dirt road. How often was your question, on the average weekly is my quess. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. Albert Einstein

Provided you already have the atv of course. I may not have gone looking for a plow but one came with my machine when I bought it used. . Cost me about a grand to outfit my ATV with a Warn set-up, 5" plow blade, winch, and brackets.

When was the last time you heard of a woman dying of a heart attack from shoveling snow? It must not affect them the same as it does men. Last edited by mart; 03/04/20. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I have only shovelled ONCE this winter and really did not need to do that one - Dillon area. In full disclosure I did get stuck in a wind caused snowdrift one morning last month in our "drive" - heading out early for a gunshow! The VarmintWife was not pleased having to get up early get dressed and come and tow me out. I was trying to get by in my high mileage (33 MPG!) two wheel drive Chevrolet Malibu on a snowy morn. Most snow we have had on the ground this winter was 12" - and that did tie a 22 year long record here. Again sell the view from high up and move on down into the Madison Valley. Shoveling snow is a young mans game. He-he. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
