Join contest SubscribeSpecial thanks to all you who sent donations of snow to make this possible for us. We got a few inches last night. Took the MC out to pinkberry, but the mall was closed. View attachment 7790510View attachment 7790659
Reverse the flow on the oil pump. It’ll flush all that shit right out of there and the filter will be good as new!
Lease, no grease (ie no maintenance).
Pedestrian or vehicle crossing?Picked a really good day to see if building a stream crossing is a good idea.

Vehicle, hoping it becomes someone else’s problem to help design it. Steep banks, creek threads through the area. They are planning to apply for stream bank work, access road, and crossing from a state agency.Pedestrian or vehicle crossing?
Very coolHad a few hundred bucks worth of cabellas gift cards accumulated, so took a trip up there yesterday. As expected, no reloading supplies that I needed. The youngest talked me into a new clay thrower. Seems to work ok just testing last night. View attachment 7797171View attachment 7797172
And we have no snaps on that.Nothing exciting going on in the shop at the moment. We are tearing down a 1938 ford truck though

Thanks, so far I like itThat looks really nice, try some White targets at night![]()
Shooting is a healthy sport if you choose. There are a lot of options to get out and restore targets (paint). Never hurts to go for a late afternoon walk.

Never tried a pair, but should. Our snow is typically wind driven, then gets set by the cold, think concrete. So, 98% of the time you stay on top. In @Nodakplowboy neck of the woods, it’ll set so hard that stock can walk over the top of fences.Snow shoes man....snow shoes.

My shoes, bearpaws, are 10x36. They are a compromise shoe, don't do anything perfectly but most things well. Kind of like 4895. Fully outdoor dressed weight is +/- 195. When traveling through soft snow, such as between tall corn stalks, floatation is not the best. However, the short length and lack of a tailpiece makes turning much easier. On the hard snow one can almost jog (I don't).Even still that concrete shit is slippery. The crampons on snows shoes will keep you from falling.
And.....
Less chance of ripping a muscle if you do post Hole and over exert trying to

Many years ago I had the opportunity to try a pair of Alaskan style shoes, long and narrow. Fast on the flat, slow on the turn. Someday might get a set, just because.
Up here the snow does get like concrete, it’s just not consistent across all conditions. The north side of a treeline could be rock hard. Cross the trees to the south 200', might be 2" of crust over 3' of powder.
Snow got a lot harder after last night..

Good day to size brass and read a good book.
My first set of shoes were 14" x 42 Michigan style. Worked great but the width was distracting, often times one shoe stepping on the other mid stride. For my weight and stride a bearpaw 10" wide and another 6-8 longer would be about right. Might have to do some shopping. Still recovering from bi-lateral hernia repair (one week in), won't be on shoes for a few weeks.I likely use shoes too small for the weight wearing them. I also forfeit float for maneuverability.
Most times I am wearing them it is usually forest. In the NE conditions will vary usually.
Still like the extra grip they afford.
Heal up. Spring will be here soon (in 2 monthsMy first set of shoes were 14" x 42 Michigan style. Worked great but the width was distracting, often times one shoe stepping on the other mid stride.

Yes, the grip is nice. All that rawhide mesh on hard snow makes a difference.

I had a pair of these a long time ago. great shoes.I trend toward synthetic.
I loved my Atlas 25s and would consider going to a 30 but they don't make them in USA anymore.
If I ever buy new shoes probably go with MSR plastic decks made in USA.
I occasionally hit rock.....gut decks likely won't last but they are beautiful.
