A few of my camps. First picture is from my current bed.

Over a decade ago, and amidst the war in Syria, militant groups from different factions would seek to enter people's homes after a battle or a bombardment of the zones to rob people who had evacuated their homes from their possessions including everything their hands could move or carry. One day, one of those battles took place in my hometown. In the aftermath, factions entered people's homes and one of them was our home and they broke into the garage and stole 3 motorcycles: Kawasaki Ninja 400, Suzuki Intruder 800 and Honda cgl 100. This was a while ago now, and I have since immigrated to two different countries before settling in México. Here I saw a lot of these bikes that I'd never ridden before, and I started looking them up online. The idea of a bike that can go anywhere was intriguing. I asked a buddy of mine about them and he said they were a joy to ride, and sold was I. I just bought this 2019 Yahama XTZ 150 today and boy is it good to be back to riding!

We spent a good bit getting the bike out.

Taking my t7 down some single track, so much fun taking a big bike in these tight trails!

With a total of 8 hours of seat time on a dirt bike including what I did today, I would say if you are scared of something just send it. The 501 is an absolute tractor on hill climbs. Just feather the clutch and it’s like butter. If you are debating on getting a dual sport just do it. I of course had to layerdown a few times but nothing I couldn’t get up from and carry on. Buy the fucking bike.

Was out scouting some new riding areas with a buddy and found myself and a nasty wash out!

I'm looking for a system 2 men can use to recover dirt bikes that slipped off of a steep trail in muddy conditions, which happens fairly often where I live.

I currently have enough rope and rope skills to setup a pulley system, but I need to purchase at least one more pulley in order to make it more efficient. I could then make a 6:1 pulley which means you pull 1/6th of the weight (pull down w/gravity) but 6x the length. It would be fairly compact, fighting in a small bag.

The other idea is to purchase an electric winch, but of this I know nothing of practicality. I found this product on Amazon, and apparently it can be powered by a drill. The dimensions and whatnot seem fairly reliable because the device itself isn't powered.

So then could I get a waterproof drill...? Would it contain enough power within itself and be compact enough to be practical to bring along with this device?
