Risky: 1944 Normandy LCM3 Barge Transporting Heavy Equipment | RC ADVENTURES

We took the winter off… but the thaw doesn’t wait. At first melt, the river wakes up—and so do we. The Mission: move heavy iron downstream through a narrow, fast-moving backwoods channel using a vintage 1944 LCM3 landing craft. Underpowered? Definitely. Outmatched? Maybe. But turning back isn’t an option. Onboard: a bulldozer, front loader, rock truck, and excavator—each one needing precision loading and unloading while the current fights us every second. Maurice is at the controls, calm and focused, piloting each machine like a seasoned operator. I’m at the helm, wrestling this oversized barge through tight bends and shifting water, hoping momentum—and a bit of luck—keeps us off the rocks. With diesel prices where they are… this might be the only way to get the job done. Close calls. Heavy loads. No margin for error. This isn’t just transport… it’s a test.
