One of Vermont's many 4000+ footers. Beautiful day for a hike with Sonya.

Sonya packed up and ready to go

Water was still running at low elevation but it turned icy quick!

The benefits of being a husky, you can swim in the winter

Trail turned Icy and cold quick and it's a very steep climb to the top made for slow going up and down.

Great pictures. I like that in Vermont you can carry your Glock where you want, when you want and how you want. Is that a BRKT Gunny without the ramp?

BRKT Rising wolf. Yup there are no carry restrictions in Vermont except schools, post offices, and court houses. As long as you can legally own a firearm you can carry it concealed or open wherever you want without a permit of any kind it's wonderful.
 
Nice! how do you like your km2s? I've been running 35s on my jk for a month now, I've started liking them.
 
Wow, beautiful shots. Vermont has some pretty country. My father in law has a summer home on Lake Seymour, in Morgan Vermont.

I like them have had them about a year now, those are 33's. There terrible in packed snow and ice on the road but outstanding in deep snow where they can get traction. I've had them in just about every type of terrain and they have impressed me in all except hard packed snow like on the interstate they can be down right dangerous on the winter highway.

mmhm, ive had similar results, but like you say, once im in the bush and offroad, they have no problem chewing through.

Thanks for the reply, and fantastic area, nice to see another jeeper on here.
 
Last year I drove through about 4 feet of unbroken powder in 4lo and I never lost traction once they just plowed through like nothing, then you get on the hard packed road and your all over he place. There not bad once you get used to controlling them on the road. Slow and steady lol
 
Great pics, thanks for sharing.

On the tires, have you had them siped? I do this with all my tires, and it seems to make a huge difference on road snow. It even seems to help on ice, although not as much as studs obviously!
 
Yea I was gonna mention to fonly getting them siped, I never did but should. I could probably do it myself. I bet it would help a lot
 
Nice scenery Thanks for posting
Like that second knife with the kydex what is it?
Huskies are way fun owned many through the years
