If you’re using it for firewood I doubt the synthetic will hold up very well to that kind of use without fraying. I have about 5’ of chain on the end of my steel cable, helps to prevent kinks when wrapping around a log.
I cut a lot of wood each year. It used to be our only heat source so I’d cut 6 or 8 cords each year. When we moved to this house (state housing provided by the fish hatchery) about 5 years ago we couldn’t have wood heat anymore. But I already had a good saw, cables & snatch block, etc. so now...
Just wanted to give everyone an update, the project is finally finished and the truck is back on the road. I was away from town for work for awhile and couldn't work on it but I finally got the new hydraulic line put in and bled. Shifts nicely, no visible leaks... I'd call it a success...
I found this used Mystery Ranch pack listed for sale really cheap, the guy says he doesn't know anything about it, model, size, etc, but that its in great shape. Anyone know what pack this is? Doesn't seem to match anything I can find online...
Thanks
Id be willing to bet that's a doe with antlers. There's one I've seen near my house the past few years, and she looks very similar.
The one that I've seen does not shed her antlers like a buck, she's had the same little set of spikes for atleast 3 years now that I know of.
I believe rain gear from marmot, NorthFace, OR, etc is just as good as the big “Hunting brands” you’re just not paying twice as much for a name and a fancy camo pattern.
Well, it’s all put back together, except when I went to bleed the clutch I discovered a leak in the hydraulic line between the master and slave cylinder. Can’t get one locally so I’ll have to order one. Leaning toward the flexible braided stainless line over the hard line. Anyone used these...
I used a tent with an attached floor once and didn’t care for it. I had borrowed the tent from a relative so I was extra worried about keeping it clean, and it just seemed impossible to come in and out, stack firewood, etc without getting the floor dirty
Thanks everyone. Sounds like I will plan to just run the tarp directly over the ridge and try to tie it out to leave a gap along the eaves. And yes, heat will be wood.
