From my point of view that Belarus at $5k was a steal and for grunt or snow work would probably be a better choice.

The woods up here are full of them and as they age more are arriving by the truckload from other areas on a weekly basis, most sold before they ever get here.

Best of luck.

Some of my family had a summer place on the 'big lake' as we called it, Georgian Bay of Lake Huron, it was on the mainland, but there was no road into the compound, it was up the coast a piece from town in a sheltered little bay with a big island guarding the opening and forming a natural breakwater.

There was no electricity or telephone either, everything came in by boat, or across the ice in the winter.

I can still remember the sound of the supply boat from town, it was a little old tug from Thunder Bay that the local fuel oil company ran to tank fuel to the islands and out ports like ours, it also delivered just about everything since the same (extended family) also owned the local grocery store and lumber yard.

The old girl had a big Detroit screaming away below deck that vented up through an exhaust stack behind the wheelhouse, we could hear that thing coming for quite some time before she appeared around the corner. If the weather was good and old Rolly that ran her was in a good mood he'd ask if he could 'hire me on' as a deck hand for the rest of the run up the coast, and drop me back on the return trip. Usually that meant he was staying for dinner and a visit afterwards to.

I can still hear the sound of that ship.

Best of luck.
