    Tatanka / 20 Chevy ZR2 Bison

    Wait-What!!!! How much did it cost? Here is the breakdown of the major cost of my build. This does not include the everyday loadout gear that we take with us on any given outing. Tatanka is ready to go with a full 10-day load out of food water and supplies. All of the work was done by me...

    Tatanka / 20 Chevy ZR2 Bison

    I Think We Need a Winch On our first backcountry ski trip with our Bison, we got stuck when I slid into a drainage break on a jeep trail near the Never Summer Range in Central Colorado. Entirely driver error on my part as I have been on this trail dozens of times in lesser vehicles. We dug...
