I have an ATV that got me started on the off-road vehicle scene. It's a camo'd Honda Rincon, and I really like riding it. I have a rear hard storage case (lockable storage on two sides) that also has a rear seat that my wife can sit on, or my dog can ride on. It is supposed to be used only for when you are parked and resting, nod nod wink wink. It has two tool holders/gun racks with rubber snubbers on the front rack, so I can haul long-handled tools or long guns up front. It is an automatic with fuel injection, 670cc water-cooled single. Really fun machine. Can hit 55 mph on the straights, box stock.
As my dog got older, he struggled to jump up into the saddle, so I bought a Kawasaki TERYX RUV, or side-by-side. Much easier on the dog to get on board, and the wife can ride in comfort. It can haul 500 pounds of gear in its titling rear load bed, and can tow up to 1200 pounds. That thing is unstoppable -- if it can get traction, it will climb anything. I have gone up 75-degree inclines on it, with ease. Loves the snow. Blasts through mud, and will run at 50 mph all day long. 750cc V-Twin water-cooled Brute Force motor is very torquey. It can tow the Rincon sitting on a landscape trailer, so you can use one ORV to pull another ORV, and vice versa. Handy in emergencies.
These things are a blast to own, can carry a lot of gear, and are very capable in the woods and off-road.
I also bought an ATV tilting dump trailer that is very heavy duty, which can haul another 500 pounds of gear. So, if I need to get away from civilization, I can haul food, water, fuel and gear with ease, and can leave any area quickly. Both are camo. These can be hidden very quickly.
And you don't have to field dress and quarter game to get it back to camp. Unless you want to.
Best equipment for escaping civilization I have found, except for a seaplane or helicopter!
