Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Appreciate you seeing this and thinking of what I'm trying to do! My entry is 32" from the ground so the ramp for her to walk up would have to be 15% grade or less (ya, I've tested). That puts the ramp at almost 18 feet. The 15% grade number is also ~max of most power chairs.
I currently have...
Gear driven a moving step is the thought so far. Has to be tight to the camper as for use in a parking lot. You may want to look at these lift running boards out there. They don't go completely to the ground nor all the way up but create a moving half step. I'm pulling some of my design ideas...
So far it looks like I'm going to buy th deer lift. I purchased the HF 2000lb ATV winch and working through designs of how to adapt. The deer lift is < $188 shipped and the winch was $55. So I figure for under $250 and the basic's in hand, I can design a simple step lift. We'll see where this...
I've found a Burr Handy-lift on Marketplace is identical to Coach lift. Those (and the coach lift you mentioned) are based off a truck camper lift. They're gear driven as are most material lifts are. I wouldn't go hydraulic for the concerns you mention down (release of pressure ) could get...
My wife is losing here ability use stairs which leads to the challenge of excessing the truck camper (4 steps). I'm looking for ideas of some sort of lift I could mount or bring along that breaks down and packs well.
One thought is this Deer lift: Viking L A Vator . I like this as it folds flat...
Gaia was my goto because it included Canada Backroads. The cost has become prohibitive and will not buy in now. You're okay with the cost, fine but really it doesn't have to cost that much! It's a market demand thing. I've gone back to Google and using local mapping for the area of choice. This...
Actually several effective measures. So you carry Pepper Spray?
What I now have added is the Umarex. First two rounds are pepper spray, next two are hard plastic, then comes the stuff that really hurts..
There's a couple routes. One is N/S and the other E/W. The N/S is the Hamster Route with several sections meant for adventure bikes or ATV's, yet easy work arounds to continue northward. The E/W is Section 6 o the Backroads Discovery Route or NHBDR.
There's also a Puppydog route (n/s) and a...
Would love that and I shall! Plan is to work east along the north coast, down and west exploring and possibly exiting south to NS. Should be on the Rock for a month, if all goes to plan.. Been planning out a bit.
We have plans to head up in mid-May from NH. Looking to drive the Trans Lab Highway and cross at Blanc Sablon. I figure it would be 1st of June as we pass your hometown. Hoping to get some trout fishing in while there. I contacted a couple guides and they're telling me it's still too early! Your...
I appreciate this. Being civilian tasers are 30s to cycle and shorter 'shock' time (as I've read), do you believe they can stop someone s well as what you may have used? How long did you find the suspect would be incapacitated? I'm reading only 15-20 seconds and they're up and shaking it off.
I'd hoped for a better explanation of you statement with your background. Then I'd hoped for suggestions of better alternatives than lethal. As stated before, there are those situations where running away is not an option.
In the hopes of staying positive with this thread.. What are your...
I am attempting not to take a life that may not need to be for myself & loved ones safety. There is honor in not taking a life.
So back on topic. What non-lethal method do you have or use?
If you are going to stand there, like a fool, and threaten with a weapon of any sort.. You never should have pulled it. The only time a weapon comes out is if it's to be used and all other methods are over. You scenario is a fools errand..
The purpose of a non-lethal is to allow you safe escape...
