What Exactly is a Sherp?

What happens here

Learn about the Sherp ATV's unique ground pressure, which is just over 1 pound per square inch (PSI) when its tires are deflated. This incredibly low pressure allows the vehicle to traverse unstable terrain like floating bogs, where a 200-pound man walking would exert 9-10 PSI and likely break through. The ability to distribute its weight over a large footprint is crucial for navigating such challenging environments.

Goal: Understand how low ground pressure enables extreme terrain navigation

What they say

Hide

the human foot of a 200-pound man walking produces around nine to ten pounds per square inch I was just gonna say is trying to do the mental map without polish that takes me a little bit but it's amazing that you can I can't officially say this but we have driven on ice that is so thin with this and not broken through to where if you are walking on it you would break through it the same with floating bog and swamp in the end and we're gonna go over some floating box oh yes floating bag is probably one of the most dangerous terrains there is definitely because what it is a floating blog for those guys that don't know if floating bog has this basically a sediment island that floats above the water and you can technically walk on it as long as you don't mind dying or potentially dying because you'll if it's thin and it you'll break through and then the Bob will close in around you all right over the top of you Steve cannot forget flour in your [Music] in forward listen to my heart this intention [Music]
