Most people would feel terrible if they drove their truck off the road and into a muddy swamp. But members of the Bulkley Valley Diggers club do it for sport.

The Diggers are truck enthusiasts and they like to see how far their trucks will go through mud and water up to three feet deep.

Members think that if they don't get stuck, they're not trying hard enough. Bogging is all about pushing past the limit of what your truck can do, relying on your friends to pull you to dry ground, and then going back and doing it all over again.

They are prepared. Members of the club add big tires and limited slip or locked differentials for better traction. Engines are sometimes tweaked for maximum power, but most of the trucks are stock vehicles from ten to thirty years old. There is no sense using a new truck to get stuck in a bog.

Driveline and suspension parts often break but used parts for older trucks are easy to find at local wrecking yards.
