The Crawl Chronicles

[Xraycer]

Nice update, my yard doesn't have nearly the crawling opportunities you've got!

I've been meaning to ask, do you have a preference between your rigs? Now that you have three different brands, do any of them rise to the top or fall short of the others on the enjoyment scale?

I gotta tell ya, having 3 rigs I like equally, it has now become a dilemma on which one I hit the trail with. I want to take all 3!
I've be pondering the idea of taking all 3, by utilizing a fold-up wagon I have. I would secure the wagon handle to a belt or something, which would leave me hands free. Don't know how comfortable this would be, or if it would even work very well. The one thing I do know, is that I would surely look ridiculous! Lol

I used to have the same dilemma with my planes, never knew wich ones to bring.

It's easier to decide which crawler to bring, when you only have one, but I am having a heck of a time deciding on my next purchase.

What have you narrowed it down to?

Haha
I like your style! However, you're just hauling stuff to a particular spot or 2. Now, with me: picture an individual walking through the woods operating a toy car with a wagon (loaded with more toy cars) strapped to him, in tow.
Even the wildlife are thinking, wth!

It's interesting how close the wild bunnies, around my property, will let my crawlers get to them before they scat. Literally, like 5ft.

I like that white one!

If I get the white one, it will end up with zebra stipes, like a safari rig, I wont be able to stop myself!

Finally made it back to my crawling mecca! Got up a little after 5am this Saturday morning just to beat the crowd to this area. It was overcast and cool, but the forecast says that the heat and humidity were on its way this afternoon.
Unfortunately, my crawling adventure was short lived. I am on-call this weekend, and as luck would have it, I got the call to come in. So, less than 30min into my excursion, I had to head back out. Oh, well!

Sucks your session got cut short, beautiful spot.

 

[Greywolf74]

That is a beautiful spot

I think I've been using it for about 30 years now. Damn I'm getting old!

Welcome to my world.

Thank you! Jalapeno is still a work in progress. I forked out a bit of cash for those Proline Hyrax and dual stage foams from hearing all the raves on YT. I'm not convinced if they're actually worth all that extra money. I'll keep on testing.

I've only got to explore less than 1/10 of this reserve, and I've already came upon about 6 of these huge rock outcrops. Looking forward to continually explore this area. There's also a large reservoir within this reserve, so I'm hoping to find some fun wet sections to crawl through.
