Sherp vs Polaris ranger in a 4 x 4 offroad Mudbog Race & obstacle course

What happens here

Identify or create areas on the course that feature deep mud and standing water. This can involve utilizing natural swampy sections or excavating depressions that collect rainwater. The video frequently shows both Sherps and Polaris Rangers navigating through substantial mud and water crossings, highlighting the need for varying depths and consistency of the mud to present different levels of challenge. Ensure entry and exit points are manageable for vehicles.

Goal: Establish challenging mud pits and water crossings to test vehicle flotation and traction.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator or Backhoe — Digging and shaping areas for mud pits and water crossings
  • Heavy-duty tow strap or winch — For vehicle recovery in case of getting stuck, as demonstrated in the video
  • Rubber Boots — Keeping feet dry and protected in muddy/wet conditions
