That tarp over a tent is a great way for winter camping.

Fun times ahead, make sure you always have your other leaders there. “Two deep”  leadership!!!! I got stuck in a lie of one of my scouts who said I hit him and the only saving grace was my other co scout leader and his wife who told the truth as it happened.

I can honesty say I want the big saw for zero reason on then the “ I want it” part.    I kind of want to build a mod saw and the 400 series seem to be the better platform.  Zero use at all for me lol. Cool factor

 This last week I ripped a little chraftsman 12 for at least half the tree.  A good tuned saw and sharp blade is all it takes.   The saw was free and needed a carb clean.  If had it for a few years

I have found a 24” bar gets my stihl into about any tree I have needed. It does fine as long as I run a skip tooth on the wet wood

Yeah, I bought a MS241C pro Stihl saw but it was not technically a climbing saw. They have a top handle 12 inch bar pro saw that is like $600.  That may be my next saw purchase

Having a mental debat if I should put the two inch metal spacers in under these bags.  What do you guys think?



With the air 100% removed the truck doesn’t lower any.  With no weight on the truck

Updated photo from the forum that we shall not name, guys bags look like they are completely compressed as mine look fully expanded

I think I should put the spacers on.   

Agree?

I have plenty of tarps. One will be for ground cover for sure. I'm not limited on how much gear I can bring. As you can see above we drive right to the spot.

I would love to have a tent with a stove but that is not going to happen for a long time. They are way out of my range. One regret I have is I never tanned any of my deer hides and I haven't shot a deer in over 10 years. So thats out. I like the moving blanket idea. I'm going for that. Cheaper than sleeping mats and I can use them for other things.

I stopped in at Scheels yesterday. Picked up some hand warmers and some other stuff the boys need for a scout camp out. The 6 essentials. Anyway they have some 0 degree Coleman bags on sale for $50 original price $100.  I almost had a weak moment but I am going to order the Deer hunter bags Dave suggested. I like the canvas shell and that fact that you can zip 2 of them together. I believe they will last a long time.
Did you note the size of that deer hunter bag@40 inches wide you can fit pretty nice in it

The method of cardboard is multiple layers and if it gets wet it doesn’t soak through. Moving blankets will in my experience, plus it’s disposable

More info needed

Snow?




The tent is mute if you have a tarp.  I have on multiple occasions used a doubled up tarp over a tent and closed in to keep weather out it works well

As for your pad. 

Cardboard as a base layer, no air mattress it gets cold making you cold or humidity caused by your heat hitting the cold

The reflective pad is a good idea.

We have three of these and they
Are great!!!


Remember to sleep in less and if the kids insist on cloth put on dry fresh cloths right as you climb in the bag

How does that happen?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In a nutshell those motors have aluminum heads (overhead cam setup). The casting where the plugs screw in is thin, you get about 4 full threads. Piss poor design has some spark plug threads stuck in the combustion chamber. So carbon can and will build up on plug threads. Changing plugs can gall threads then and make it easy for new plugs to work lose. I thought it was an exhaust leak (another known issue with those oem manifolds) until it blew out......
Moral of the story? Don’t replace the spark plugs?

It was still hazy up at the ridge. Come home and just flat out nasty outside. 109f with bad quality

Ash? Pool cover off, really messed it up. I have been blowing it off for a week now.

My wife’s brother is similar. Her mom follows suit but unlike you folks my father in law is a mean ol drunk who straight up took all the money and locked it up so she has no way to pay for the stupid boys things.  At one point he was driving a brand new dodge 3/4 ton and her and husband had a 98 accord with no hood.  She made every payment

While the ol man might drink a bit much he at least handles his bills
