We recently (June 9, 2015) deployed our 2009 Arctic Prowler UTV in the field! The Prowler was used in place of a traditional logging truck because of its maneuverability and off-road 4X4 capabilities. This is the perfect vehicle for logging in difficult, unpredictable terrain. The Prowler was outfitted with all the necessary safety equipment per mine requirements, and a new portable Aries video system (http://www.ariesindustries.com/products-view/portable-systems/). This portable Aries video system currently has the capability of reaching depths up to 1000 ft. and yields high-quality downhole videos. It is the ideal set-up for borehole/casing videos in areas that are hard to reach by traditional means! This same unit can also be deployed with one of our other logging winches to complete a full suite of geophysical logs.

- Just getting to this hole was a challenge. Once there we had to ease the Arctic Cat up on the hill in order to reach down the hill to the top of the well casing. Once again light weight system along with some very small sheave wheels allowed us to set up and collected the needed data easily.

- This picture shows how versatile the unit is at getting to hard to reach places with ease. Utilizing the tree that has over grown the well and a very light weight camera system we were able to easily access the well.
