Terrierman Found His Dream Ride



When I go into the field, I may be carrying 40 pounds of tools, water and the like over some pretty rough farm country.

How much easier and faster would things be if I had one of these?

This is a Dual Tracked Vehicle or DTV "Shredder" -- basically a Segway on tank treds -- and it's made by a Canadian company called BPG-Werks for the military.

As you can see in the video, the thing gets up to a decent speed (30 mph!), can be operated remotely, and can even pull a small trailer to serve as an ambulance (or deer-hauler). It's gasoline powered, so no extension cord needed. Military and civilian models will soon be available for about $5,000 a unit.

Imagine DNR officers on these things patrolling for poachers and looking for lost hikers.

Hey BPG-Werks -- I am ready, willing, and able to do demos of your product for anyone you want in the Washington D.C. area -- CIA, FBI, DoD, ICE, etc. Just drop one off on my doorstep!
