Just bought a 2020 Ranger. finally got around to putting my OB medallions on the truck. Took it up to Carrabassett Valley last week when my GF and I were caretaking up to Maine Huts & Trails. Had a chance to drive it on some logging roads and get it a bit dirty and muddy. And took it to...

I have a couple Silky folding saws I use for trail work, Much lighter to carry that an axe and no size limitation like I found with a bow saw.

I'm never too worried about black bears. I consider myself fortunate if I ever see one while hiking. Grizzlys kinda scare me. Too irritable and unpredictable. Black bears run, Grizzlys attack. There are exceptions to any rule. Bears, people, whatever. I'm fortunate to live in Maine where the...

No, those were the other good saws a lot of loggers use. They are owned by Husqvarna.

Growing up, we heated our house all Winter with firewood, so Spring and Summer were spent cutting it. Father was too cheap to pay for electric heat, but he had two sons that he fed and he expected us to pay him back with free labor. Even my sister didn't get a pass. She had to help stack it. We...

ARRGGHHhh! Stop taunting me with that video!

That's funny, because that's why I joined, too. I was thinking the 10/30 would be strong enough. Build a frame to hold the fridge and a set of cabinets that could be hinged and folded/flipped out to create flat surface. I'm still in the dreaming/planning/saving money stage. Still doodling...

I must be doing it wrong. I use cast a cast iron fry pan on my glass-top stove and wash it in soapy water. Heat it up to dry it off and then take it off the heat and add a little olive oil to the pan. Its a Griswold fypan, I think I looked it up once and its almost 100 years old. I rescued it...

Seems to be the goto place for badges

I hope its not that huge. Its the smallest dual zone they had :smile: I really like ice cream. I can always use it to store frozen pizza in the basement

pulled the trigger on the CFX3 75dz. with the 20% member discount, saved money to pay towards a lithium battery of some flavor.

Bueno! thank you

What was the member sale price? Or discount? I'm thinking of picking one up on the Memorial Day sale, but I can wait until next year, if I have to.

Open the vents at the top of the tent. Warm, moist air will naturally vent though the open vents. On a cold frosty night, my girlfriend got up in the middle of the night to go pee. When she came back to bed, she zipped up all the vents I had opened up to ventilate the tent. For the rest of the...

Two sleeping pads, an inflatable and something like a Thermorest z-light or Ridgerest. A -30 down sleeping bag or two down quilts, depending on forecasted temps. My girlfriend and I use Accomplice Quilts The two person quilt we use is 20 degree rated. If it gets much colder than that we have 30...

I don't see what the problem is. Sounds like she wants to spend time with you, sharing something you enjoy. Did you marry her to get away from her? Or to be with her. If its the former, get divorced, you will both be happier eventually, in the long run. If its the latter, buckle up, she's going...

Here's the interactive map from the ATC https://nps.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6298c848ba2a490588b7f6d25453e4e0 scroll, or zoom in, and you can find the forest service roads. The AT crosses many roads, but doesn't parallel many. I've been section hiking the AT for the...
