I’ve been seeing these around the countryside and fewer of the style we have in the USA. Why do you think more tracked vehicles? Ruts? Hilly?




Lots of gardens all over as welll.

Because Europe has mud that Big Pig can only dream of...

Seriously though, I've never seen mud in the U.S. that I've had to endure in Europe. Bosnia was the absolute worst. It's the stickiest, thickest, and absolutely the most demoralizing stuff I've ever seen. It will break you off. I dreaded dismounted patrols because I knew each boot was going to weigh 10 lbs as soon as we stepped off. The best we could do was pray for freezing temps, but that only lasted until 10am.

The Russians got a crash course in slow-go and no-go terrain when they invaded Ukraine. It was actually comical. Rookies.

The mud and not much flat areas in those pictures. Tracks and lower center of gravity should help on the hills.
