Ahhhh. Pearl pass. The easy trail that can kill you in the snow. Been there done that. You’re lucky Kevin. Haha and good job. That’s the way we do it. We usually wait another month.....

That video doesn’t tell the tale either. It’s much steeper and off camber at that spot shows on camera. I’ve never been through that much snow at that point. Usually about a foot or so on the drivers side.

Funny, I was watching this last night on my random Youtube wondering. I've seen your nutty self in places I'm not going but this was a new level of pucker factor. The anchor point looked sketchy as hell.

:surprised:


Your wife was none too pleased.

:beer:

Kevin, you crazy. Brittnay's the one gonna have a heart attack. I watched it last night too: I don't think I breathed for like 10 minutes.

This video has convinced me to carry a bigger shovel!

Congrats on the channel and videos. Well done. Don't die.

Thanks everyone. Ya that might not be something I do again. The anchor point for the winch was just for a mental safety net and would have no outcome on saving me if i were to start sliding off that cliff. It’s waaayyyy steeper and off camber than what the video shows. I just put it there so my mind would allow me to try to get across. Lol

It is beautiful area and you must go do the trail if you are in Colorado. Thank you guys for your support. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven’t and we really want to keep providing fun content and sharing our stuff will help one day when we can actually make some money off of it to go towards more adventures.

Love y'alls videos but given the title on this one I had a thought. Next time take the driver door off, click the belt behind you in the seat, and keep one foot out in case you need to jump! (Susan and I have been all over the lower half of Canada and all of the US many times via sporty motorcycles. Why is it that the crazy stuff we do is the most fun and most memorable?)
You two take care, and thanks again for taking us along. :jk:

That was definitely discussed and thought about but we just didn’t go through with it. Definitely a good idea

You two have a great channel. I love your new 38" tires. I haven't had time to watch the entire video yet, but it looks nice.

Good thinking anchoring to the rock, that way if you are laying in pain at that the bottom of the valley the rock will come tumbling down after you to finish you off.
That’s was my thought. I wouldn’t want to live if I rolled off that cliff
