Give that itch some time and it will go away. I've got a 14' tundra with 155k and the biggest issue I've had so far was the radiator fan clutch needed replaced. I wanted a new truck too for a while but with no truck issues it's more fun seeing my investments grow.
of all the critters in your tag list to shoot a below average animal, this is the one. focus on the better tags. Finish strong TW33!!
I bet you're going to have one heck of a wild game feed with friends and family when this is all done.
Love it! I'd suggest putting fatter skis on that chariot. if the snow is heavy at all, I suspect with a full load it will just sink in the snow and create some significant drag.
you're point about erosion might be valid in a 1-1 comparison. I would venture to say that the number of e-bikes on a trail would outnumber horses 10-1. I unfortunately live in the city and can easily buy an e-bike but I'm in no place to have and maintain horses on my property. This case applies...
No to E-Bikes in non-motorized areas! Part of the benefit of non-motorized areas is that those willing to put in the effort are able to get away from the crowds. E-bikes will promote more activity in quiet spaces. This world is noisy enough.
