    OB Approved Chain Saws

    Yeah, the one good thing about this little saw is that it doesn't tire me out as quickly... because as with most things if you get tired you get careless / complacent.

    OB Approved Chain Saws

    I just went out and checked... every link has a tooth... like normal - or at least what "normal" is to me. The spare chain I got with it came in a plain-jane box too. I just did a bit of research on safety chains too.... and mine don't look anything like that. No extra "bumper guards" or...

    OB Approved Chain Saws

    From what I know it's just a regular chain... I'm not even sure what a "safety chain" is.... lol. In college I took a chainsaw/brushsaw course from the lumberjacks from Weyerhaeuser. I dug around a bit and inspected the air filter... it was pretty dirty. I replaced it and got a spare. That...

    Steel Cable vs Synthetic Rope Winch

    Just keep in mind the synthetic ropes can freeze together on the winch. I learned this the hard way. I got it unspooled, but it sure took a bit to get that accomplished.... If I remember correctly I hooked it to something and pulled it out with a vehicle. Once the outside coil got off the...

    solar power

    I have 2 of the following 40w panels wired together into its controller (got them on sale for $100/each). In my opinion 80w is the bare minimum... 150w (like you've stated) I think will serve you very well. These power my 2 blue top Optimas (900CCA / 135 RCA) group 31M... and subsequently...

    What do you do when trapped in snow

    Does that go for the non-clumping style of kitty litter too? (not a cat person so I have no clue)

    Armor

    One thing I would add to the already good info above.... my rear control arm brackets got turned into hamburger.... so you may want to look under your Tundra and see what sits down below and is vulnerable. I had skid plates and sliders already so I was confident of the vital stuff being...

    A Check In/Out Thread

    I like the option of the numerous departure/arrival times to help pinpoint where you are in case there are multiple stops, etc.

    A Check In/Out Thread

    Another thing I would like to add.... if people are posting here and do not want to post their personal information perhaps a picture of your rig with the license plate would be enough to get the ball rolling with the authorities... and the phone number to the local authorities too I guess....

    A Check In/Out Thread

    I think it's a great idea to have a thread like that. Every time I head out I let people know.... my wife especially, lol. But I also tell my wife who to contact if she can't get in touch with me and she begins to worry.... like a friend or 2 with a capable 4x4 to come find me. She would know...
