ATV Guys- is this a bad idea? (1 Viewer)

[Herb]

My buddy and I were planning a trip to a remote area of central Nevada for some camping, hot springing and tons of trail riding on rented ATVs. My buddy owns an ATV and is an experienced rider. I am not. I've spent maybe 10 hours in my life driving one. Anyway, my friend is going to be unable to make it, but I still want to go.

So the question I pose to you all is whether or not I should tackle this trip by myself. I pick up the ATV in Reno and drive a couple hundred miles east to an isolated campground, park my truck and hop on the 4-wheeler. There is no cell service close by, the nearest small town is about 50 miles from where I'd be camping. There will be very few if any other people out there. I am an experienced camper and have driven thousands of miles on all types of trails and backroads, but always in a Jeep or truck. I know my limits and am not prone to doing anything stupid, but #### happens and intoxicants will probably be consumed.

What say you FBG? Bad idea or should I quit being a ##### and go tear it up?

Sounds like the start of a Survivorman episode.

Good Luck and let us know what pee tastes like.

This trip can't quit you. Go in honor of your "buddy".

 

[Herb]

It's a camping trip. It'll taste like fatty bratwurst, coffee grounds and boxed wine.

 

[DiStefano]

Stupid. You don't go on a trip like that without a buddy.

you're mixing up Bear Grylls (gigantic vaj) and Les Stroud (a true man)

Bear will drink his piss cuz he loves anything that comes out of a ####... Les dont play that.

One is just Les stupid than the other.

where does a guy going 200+km into the nevada wilderness, alone, rank between the 3 guys?

I'm assuming he has a fraction of their knowledge, so if Bear and Les are here,

He ranks somewhere down here.

What could go wrong

A lot of things; and if something does, they'll spend $250,000 of other people's money looking for him.

You say your an experienced camper yet you still think going by yourself is a good idea?

Dumb move if you ask me. If you do do it be sure to leave detailed itinerary with someone when you don't show up. Oh and a pocket knife when you have to cut your arm off to free yourself from the atv that is on top of you.

No, I think this is a bad idea. But it sounds really fun and I don't want to cancel the trip just cuz my friend can't make it. I was hoping someone could give me a compelling reason as to why going alone was just a tad ill-advised as opposed to life-threateningly stupid.

 

[Johnny Rock]

Reschedule

 

[Herb]

Reschedule

Thing is, I can't. I won't bore you with a long story. Suffice it to say that this will probably never happen unless I go by myself.

Horrendous idea. Had a friend killed in a quading accident about 5 years ago. If you roll it and it lands on you, you're done.

 

[AAABatteries]

I think Steve may know someone who may be interested in going camping with you.

 

[Pots]

Honestly, you know it's a bad idea already and a part of you is letting silly and irresponsible reasons tempt you into doing it anyway. Just look at the risk/reward factor here and if you still think it's worth going, then nothing anyone here can convince you otherwise.

 

[Guest]

Meh. I would do it, but I'm kinda dumb sometimes. I believe you can rent a SPOT.

Be prepared and don't go nuts on the ATV.

Not if he cuts his pinned leg off with the rusty lid to a can of beans and crawls to safety.

True. The world record for crawling with one leg cut off is 226 meters per hour. But that's only in the sprints.

So you're saying I'm good to go as long as I have some beans with me? Cool. What if I'm too big of a ##### to cut my leg off?
