There was a posting of two of the "SHERP" vehicles on a flatbed trailer at a Walmart in Idaho - they were labeled with "www.sherp.ca" - apparently they are starting to be offered here in North America. Very impressive vehicle - although also extremely capable of causing environmental damage too... hard to tread lightly in a rig like this!

Re: Sherp Amphibious ATV
Wonder if one of these could cross the Darien Gap unaided - might have enough fuel capability with 75 gallons - good for about 100 hours of operation.
Interesting that they don't seem of include any recovery attachment points - perhaps because they don't get stuck?
