I use a 75 quart igloo for deer and a 150 coleman for elk. I have a Grizzly 75 that comes along too. It holds a case and a half of frozen water bottles.
Both parties were wrong.
The youngins didn't have to set up directly on the line and the old man was way out of bounds.
It's sad. You can tell that the land owner will not be giving permission anytime soon to anyone after the world has seen this.
Nested pipe arrived and I got everything put together.
I had trouble with the 4” damper I bought. It didn’t have tight enough tolerance to lock into place, so I had to tack weld the rod and clean it up with the grinder.
The first burn resulted in the paint gassing off and filling the tent.
My...
Just an update on all in cost for this so far:
$15 - Grill (off of FB Marketplace)
$20 - 4" elbow (Amazon)
$40 - 3' square sheet steel
$90 - Nesting stove pipe
$15 - Gasketing materials
Total: $180.00
I could probably have shaved some money off of this, but I was trying to get material quickly...
Test burn went great!
Now that I have legit proof of concept, I ordered the nesting stove pipe. Once that arrives I’ll be able to better ascertain how the intake is performing.
I’m still thinking that a front intake will be needed, but I’m not fixing it if it ain’t broke!
I got the side door finished and applied gasketing to the original door. I’m going to do a test burn utilizing the rear intake on the clean out drawer.
That will tell me if I need to block off the rear intake and cut a front one in.
I’m thinking the rear intake will necessitate adding a...
I did a test burn after adding the elbow and sealing both the elbow and lid.
Smoke was pouring out every crevice. I’m guessing it’s because the sealer around the lid didn’t do a good job of sealing as I was hoping to still use the lid to load wood. It also had vents on both ends, so they may...
Small Muenster and French Brittany stick out as small versatile dogs. Both of my Pudelpointers are 50 pounders, if small means smaller than a big lab…
American Brittany would fit the bill too.
Thanks. I ran my old tritonics transmitter the same way, but the toggle switch was bigger and had a much better tactile feel to it.
I ordered the 200i, but if I get it out in the field and don’t like it, it will be going back and I’ll take the 550+ for a spin.
A GSP would be fine in those temps. Plenty of them running around late season in ND when the temps are in the singles to below zero.
There's also a lot of "smaller" breeds that could do the job. You'd have to hijack your own thread and tell us your primary use for animal along with any specifics...
I use the tone for multiple non verbal commands. The "beep" gets used if the dog is out too far or hunting towards an area I don't want them in yet. I also use it to reinforce "woah" on a dog that is creeping when we are hunting.
The tone gets their attention on me for hand signals too. The...
@Roman Nose and @cuttiebrownbow, how has the 550+ been while you're wearing gloves? Do you get used to the feel of the small toggle switch to select dogs?
I have always like to use tone before stim and figure I'd just transition to the more "traditional" method of no warnings and straight to...
I haven’t seen one worth a damn. The ones I’ve seen that have any positive testing behind them required an extremely patient and incredibly knowledgeable trainer with plenty of time on their hands.
There’s too many solid breeds that are readily available to deal with a “what if” factor that...
