Uh yeah. Planning on a 40 mile trip through the snow on quads with a couple of Coleman sleeping bags and a 2 season tent seems absurdly reckless.
It's cool though, yanking you guys out of the woods gives me something to do.
I need to do the WABDR, have you done it? Trying to get some intel on it.doing the OBCDR

Very cool, the TAT would be fun also. Good luck, you'd have memories for a lifetime with those trips.No, but it is on the list of trips to make. I really want to do the Ca, Or and Wa BCDRs all in one trip. Mexico to Canada. After that we will see how I stand on doing the TAT.
Maybe I'm a little naive, but I still don't see how we were being absurdly reckless. There was ample firewood, double the propane we needed for the large tent heater, and we were 1.5 miles off of a major highway. The forecast called for no snow, and lows of 20 degrees. Our tent stayed warm, I had extra clothes that were dry, and more food/water than we needed.
Could we have had better gear? Without a doubt, however, we were never in any danger. Even if two feet of snow came down on us and both quads were buried, we could have made an uncomfortable hike back to the freeway.
Now doing the OBCDR, that is pretty risky stuff. There are times when you are by yourself 100 miles away from the next little town, and there is never any cell service. If you were to break a leg out there you would be in a world of hurt. I've done that twice, and both times been very glad to make it back in one piece.
