Rant: My sled threw a track at 60 mph last Saturday

I was cruising on a fire road up near Iron Mountain around 3 PM when I heard this nasty pop. Looked down and saw the track flopping off the drive sprockets like a dead snake. Had to coast to a stop and spend 2 hours in 15 degree weather cutting the old belt off and rigging the new one with ratchet straps to get it tensioned. Anyone else ever have a track come off mid ride and find a better way to fix it on the trail?

Tracks are like cats, they always find the worst possible time to nope out on you. Ratchet straps are a solid move though, I've had to use a tow strap and a prayer before.

Lmao I once strapped a track down with a bungee cord and it launched into a ditch five minutes later.
