Seriously, why would you even try to make 1/2 those roads? I used to do that stuff in my Jeeps, but that was for fun and I wasn't driving a 100' long truck that weighs as much as a house.

Makes no sense to me either. Those roads are so chewed up an Abrams would have trouble.

It's kind of a shame because the roads are merely rainforest roads built as cheaply as possible to service lumber mills which are growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up.

I have no pity for that industry in the Amazon.

At least in the US and Canada wood-lots are required to be replanted when on federal land.
