Loli Oli Lodge Float Plane ATV DeliveryWell, how else are you going to get it up to where roads don't exist?From now on, this is the only way I want to receive packages. Whether they're small things like some arrow vanes or an entire Zero motorcycle, my preferred method of package delivery will forever be strapped to the float of an Alaskan bush plane. Because how freakin' sick is that?What am I talking about, you ask? Well, my fine readers, recently, a post from Matt Ashcraft on Instagram went viral in the circles I run in, as the video shows an Alaskan bush plane—a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver, to be precise—landing in Shirley Lake, Alaska, with a full-size ATV strapped to one of its floats, basically acting as the mail service for the remote Loli OIi Lodge, an adventure, fishing, and hunting guide service just north of Anchorage. And the image of an ATV absolutely ratcheted onto the float plane is one that needs to be seen to be believed, because how in the hell do you even balance something like that on the plane? How does the plane feel with it on? And how the hell do you even get it off?AdvertisementAdvertisementI have questions. I also desperately need to see this in real life at some point.Mail Call!Kawasaki's Ninja H2R-Powered Unmanned Drone Could Make Sea DeliveriesWatch This Guy Build A Pizza Delivery Bike That Cooks On The RoadThe ATV in question appears to be a Polaris Sportsman, though I can't quite make out which model it is. I believe, looking through Matt's Stories, that it's the Sportsman 450, which comes with a 499cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, 4WD, and a curb weight of about 750 pounds—again, Polaris is one of those companies that only details "dry weights," which is utterly useless.And it's especially useless here, as based on the Stories, once they got the ATV off the plane's side—which they don't show, unfortunately—they drive it off as if it were nothing. But what the Stories do show is how they attached the ATV to the plane and that was through just a handful of ratchet straps. And one set of the ratchet straps appear to be the same Husky Home Depot straps I have for hauling motorcycles around in the bed of my truck.

The site states that "our lodge offers a one-of-a-kind experience for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Immerse yourself in the rugged wilderness as you embark on unforgettable adventures. Our expert guides will ensure you have an incredible time exploring the abundant wildlife and pristine waters of Alaska. Unwind in our cozy accommodations, surrounded by breathtaking views of the untamed landscape."Who's ready to plan a trip?But I, honestly, don't know how to feel about that other than, damn, I think Home Depot needs to make a commercial out of these folks' ingenuity and/or bravery. And again, this is how I want everything delivered going forward. And with this pilot, whose name I need to know.
