Pretty amazing driving, and I'm not sure how sane it is!

Nice truck, though!

That's pretty slick.

Neat truck...and some fine driving, too. But can you imagine the screaming and yelling that would go on if we ran some of our logging trucks down a stream bed? Some of the 'ologists would probably go into cardiac arrest at the very thought of it.

Sediment, sediment sediment. Choking the fish. Smothering the redds. Bad Bad Bad...

Yeah, but wouldn't it be a BLAST! Right down the river...fish beware! I don't think any of our logging trucks could do what those Russian rigs did, though. Some of the old off-road trucks might have made it but today's highway rigs would never handle the rough ground.

It might be too hard on the driver. The donut might fall out of the hand that is not holding onto the coffee cup.

WOOWHOOO!! Who needs a log haul road, just gimme a river!

At least I wouldn't have to change shorts, just open the door and let the river clean'em. But then again, there's a lot of pucker power in those crossings, wouldn't have to worry about dirty shorts.

Does look like a heck of a lot of fun tho.

Army deuce and ahalf could probably do that but not with that much weight.

Later,

Those look like 5 ton trucks. Awesome!

I like the bit when the guy gets out and hangs on the bonnet to get more weight over the front end.

You mean the donut and the coffee cup the the forester is juggling while reaching for the citation book, the rule book, and trying to call the main office for advice all at the same time?

Nope. We snack on chippy things. We don't have a bakery nearby.

Having a bakery nearby wouldn't do you any good, anyway. By the time your people go to work (long after daylight) the more productive and early rising people (loggers) have made their bakery stop and all the good stuff is gone.

Yes. That means less excess weight to carry whilst chasing those young, sleep deprived donut digesting rigging rats up the hill. Thank you.
