The kicker is just how much fun it is to ride. They recently have come out with several different types of tires to make it even more versatile. And then there is Fatbike Packrafting http://vimeo.com/25943565

I agree with JeffP40, you could ride one out and the dead deer could ride the other one. Win,win! Gloria In Excelsis Deo! Originally Posted by Calvin As far as gear goes..

It would make a lot of sense for the closed gate public land I hunt, would really cut down on the walking. Biking in a couple of miles is much better than hiking in.

They may not appear to be cheap, but having two horses, I'm thinking they are a steal! I don't believe bikes are allowed behind gates. I think they are considered vehicles in the USFS vernacular. Can anyone confirm that? Save an elk, shoot a cow.

We tied a rope and the back guy was "brakes". It is amazing how two guys can lift 1/2 a elk over a log with the wheels to help roll. Have Dog Will Travel

That's where I bought mine. It didn't have near that big of tires, although on abandoned roads it is no problem. On that sand and the like I can see where the major big tires would be good.
