Hmm, there's a new space saver idea! VERTICAL parking as opposed to parallel!

True. Thats what I've read about when you drive in deep snow. When the snow gets up to the axles you run the risk of the weight being supported by the axles and not the wheels thus you loose traction.

Not necessarily. My dozer has swamp pads and you can run it through stuff that you can't walk over. But, I'm not sure if it can walk on water.

GeoTextile and stone, and you can float a road over mud.

You've never heard of Camel Trophy? That did it for a good 18 years...its a real shame that they stopped. And yes I would love to see something similar with Gwagens. Pony of $500,000 and I'll be more then happy to plan an expedition
