I doubt that the trip was actually 900 miles from home, then back. It was probably a bunch of loops, couple hundred miles here and there. You can be out in the middle of nowhere and still within a reasonable distance from a town or at least a residence. Not saying I would want to be in that scenario, but it can happen. As upthesaukee stated, breakdowns happen and you deal with them however you can. It usually involves getting towed into town. Hopefully everyone carries a tow strap. I do...now. I never did before, till my sled broke down last month and had to borrow a tow strap.
