Winter Forestry Ride | Dead Battery, Storm Damage & Clearing the Way

Описание: Winter has arrived since the last visit. Temperatures sit around –10°C, with roughly 10 cm of fresh snow on the ground, as I head back into the same forest to continue the work — or at least, that’s the plan.

The day starts with an unexpected problem: the ATV refuses to start. The battery is simply too weak in the cold. Luckily, I carry a NOCO booster, which gets the Can-Am running again and allows the journey to continue.

I ride through snowy forest tracks and a faster forest road section toward the work area, carrying two chainsaws — Stihl MS 211 and Echo CS-4920. Just before reaching the destination, the forest road is blocked by storm damage from a recent windstorm. Three spruce trees have fallen across the road, although at first glance it looks like only one due to branches blocking the view.

Using the Echo, I carefully clear the road. The trees are partially suspended above the ground and large enough to demand attention, as tension and compression can easily cause unexpected movement. I clear only what’s necessary to reopen the road and move the logs aside — they’ll be turned into firewood later.

With the road passable again, I continue — until the ATV refuses to start once more. Once again, the booster saves the day.

At the end of the ride, I experiment with charging the battery by letting the ATV run at higher RPM while stationary. The actual tree felling will continue in the next video.

No rush. No shortcuts. Just real winter forestry preparation.
