I don’t know if it would be sturdy enough as a gun belt, but I could be wrong. I have to use a THICK leather belt to feel comfortable with a gun on my belt, but that’s just me.

I'm eating brats and making paracord lanyards. How 'bout you?

Nothing much. My allergies have been kicking my butt lately, so I'm just sitting around.

 

[Suprtek]

I also have proof that Supr was trying to kill me...

Well, you're kinda lanky and you move kinda funny so I thought you were a zombie for a minute.

You gotta shoot'em in the head y'know.

 

[magic man]

Hey Supr, can the buggy go on the highway?

I don't even have allergies and I'm planning on doing a lot of just sitting around this week!

Hey Supr, can the buggy go on the highway?

Its completely street legal. I don't like taking it on the highway much because its geared low and has to wind up pretty tight at highway speeds. I live in Wanamaker and I drove it to Cloverdale yesterday. I took the scenic route though.

Yep. I drove it yesterday. FUN!!!!

 

[Suprtek]

Yep. I drove it yesterday. FUN!!!!

It handles mud pretty well too!

I think a paracord belt would be pretty cool. Plus its a good way to have over 100' of cord all in one piece! The one I looked at uses the "Slattery rescue knot". It can be as wide or narrow as you like and with one pull in the right place the entire thing comes unwoven without spending tons of time untangling it. It looks like it would even be sturdy enough to use as a gun belt.

the weaves not tight enough to be sturdy.

Ya, I was impressed with your maneuvering through the woods.

I don't think there's really anywhere to take one off road in NWI, that's why I was wondering. It would be pretty sweet at Silver Lake Dunes in Michigan, but that's a 3 hour drive from here.

So does that mean you think that style would be sturdy enough if were pulled tighter as it was woven?

 

[Cru]

That video is a good example of why you like the windshield!

Man, yesterday so much fun.

If you stayed off interstates, it would be a lot longer than that! They have different transaxles available that are geared better for the highway but they are expensive and not as good off road. My son and I like to camp and wheel at Haspin acres which is about an hour and a half South East of me. We drive it there, thrash the hell out of it, then drive it home. I doubt I would even own it if I couldn't drive it on the street though.

Is that where the other video on your Photobucket are from? It would be a pretty sweet toy just for the street, too. Especially when you consider who cheap you can get some of them for.

 

[Suprtek]

You'd be amazed what that thing will climb too. Even with street tires on it, it does pretty well. Its hard to tell how steep the hill is in video in my sig. Here's a pic standing at the bottom of it.

 

[Cru]

Yeah, he was taking it through some pretty tight trails yesterday too..

Yea. All the vids you see in the dirt are from Haspin. There's lots of different terrain there. As far as cost, you're right that you can get one on the road for cheap if you want. Like so many other things though, you can also spend as much as you want. I've got way more money in mine than I ever planned to, but I don't regret it. Its a blast.

It took kimmi a while to do some of the paracord stuff at first, but now that she’s done it a lot, she can finish stuff pretty quick. It’s just like anything, the more you do it the faster it goes.

Thats what she said!!
