Bring On The Bawdy Wenches

Arrr, Me Hearties, Make It Winches Instead

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Next time you're in Whitehorse, in the Yukon, and you go up the toughest of trails with Charlie McLaren of Shadow Lake Expeditions, you'll notice that he's not the sort of bloke who takes risks.

His SUV (what we'd call a four-wheel-drive) is equipped with everything. And I mean everything. The first shot in this post shows the neatly-wound steel cable on the winch that sits in front of his grille. It's clean. Free of encumbrances. No snags. No rust. If you're wondering about the slim line up the top of the frame, it's simply the reflection of the cable, as seen in the chrome bar above it.

Should the need arise, he's ready to use the winch and flick the switch (above) to get his vehicle out of trouble. And he's ready for anything. As you'll see from the photograph below, he's even prepared for the arrival of, er, Captain Hook.

(The Odd Shots concept came from Katney. Say "G'day" to her.)
