    Hunting dog injuries & treatment cost

    Big thumbs up for Dr. McFarland at Carbon County Vet Hospital in Rawlins Wy. One of our drahts has a special relationship with porcupines....he got her in and out on an already full schedule coming into the holiday as we were driving through. Lost the receipt but reasonable price, especially...

    Gooseneck Dump Trailer

    This is a whole other issue I’m working through but for now I’m looking at the 299 as the max “design” cargo to be hauled in a gooseneck dump, ramp issues noted. I’ll be towing with a F350 power stroke SRT. So long as I can stay away from a dually, which it seems I can in this format, I...

    Gooseneck Dump Trailer

    While trailers are on the top page figured I’d throw out one of my current quandaries to the group. Looking for a well built gooseneck dump trailer. Looking at a cat 299 as the design haul minimum. The 299 is a lot heavier than my mini, so guessing weight is the limiting factor vs overall size...

    Cargo Trailers

    Following, I’m in the same boat. Did a fair amount of surfing and this is the mfg. I landed on. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet but glad to see good feedback here by folks who will actually use them. Will check out the Colorados too.

    Rant: Private security for FS road closure cannot speak english

    I appreciate the follow up that this is legit. I’ve been on both sides of this situation more than I can remember at this point and have never heard anything like this. Nevertheless, I’m going to go ahead and beat on this dead horse some. Taking OPs description of the conversation… “is it...

    Fire

    Axlrod - I must have missed it or am out of the loop on the specifics but what area are you specifically talking about with FS clearcuts? Regarding sterilized soils and whatnot, the issue is not so much fire itself. Much larger issue is regarding a hundred (plus) years of fire suppression and...

    Fire

    Logs have value. In a functional economy, secondary wood products (chips, etc) would have value and would provide power to our communities. Plans don’t get implemented because antis sue the FS. Cottage industry using the EAJA to get paid to file lawsuits. If the FS would just cut, say, 75% of...

    Fire

    Failed policies, failed agency. Sure, a lot of good hard working folks at the FS, who make differences here and there, it’s not enough. In a lot of ways I think we’d be better off if they curtailed the whole agency. With their let burn/ back burn policy I’m confident we’d be better off them...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    I have not, but I do believe the concept is sound depending on your goal. I’m too old and fat to be worried about being that ripped. When I’m not on my slacker regime I have been trying to stick with a conjugate system though. On the max days the main lift will be 10-13 sets for 1-3 reps...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    I’m no expert, and it seems to me that P Carter 👆 is raising some great points, but if you only want to focus on gaining strength I’m not confident your current or proposed workout is going to get you anywhere quickly. You may want to consider way less reps per set, way heavier weight per rep...

    Emergency Chain saw for the pickup

    They don’t like cold. I used mine down to single digits last year and it maybe cut 20% of the run time off it, just guessing. I’d say if you’re in a heated cab you’ll be fine. If you can take a spare battery and charger to keep plugged in, even better. If I was on a sled I’d have a gas saw...

    Emergency Chain saw for the pickup

    I’ve got a bunch of saws floating around from a Couple 066s down to a few little arborist saws. Have both Husky and Stihl (Ford v Chevy IMO…sorry) even an old Mac and a couple old Johnsereds that are sitting on a shelf somewhere I think. If you’re looking at an arborist sized saw I wouldnt...

    Utah- what the hell?

    I’m sure not a “globalist” but I for one am sure glad when I see apartments and condos going up in urban areas. I’m glad folks want to or at least tolerate living in high rise apartments. That means less potential for a stepford style subdivision to crop up across the road from me. Whether...

    Utah- what the hell?

    IMO pretty naive to assume any designation of critical habitat is valid. Critical to who, and critical to/for what? If I want to go chase sharptails on “barren” land, is that land not “critical” to a sharptail hunter? Such a designation also assumes stasis. That’s not the way natural systems...

    Utah trying to take control of federal lands

    Couldn’t agree more and again I’m not a proponent of mass privatization. I live in a very rural area that has seen a significant overall downturn since the northwest forest plan. Not to say that was the whole problem in and to itself, but objectively times were better for working families back...

    Utah trying to take control of federal lands

    Both correct but only part of the story. Payment is really only a pittance of what a privatized land base would return to counties with high federal ownership, at least federal timberland ownerships. Have a look at the poorest counties in California and cross reference that with percent USFS...

    Klamath River Dam Removal

    Complicated topic and agree it’s not traditional left v. right but it sure could be framed as traditional rural values (ranching/ farming etc) vs preservationist approach. There is also a social equity issue going on in terms of tribal concerns, I’m not touching that one other than to note it’s...

    Kitchen renovation appliances

    We bought two Sub Z’s. Expensive as you can imagine. They work great, but are not flush as installed. Not an issue with the cabinet facing, as admitted by the company. I have a temper sometimes so it’s generally best the Mrs takes lead on these things….we bought Sub Z based upon reputation...

    Kitchen renovation appliances

    Just went through a major high end kitchen remodel. Bought Sub Z, installed by their contractor. Came a bit crooked from the factory, they don’t line up, confirmed as a defect by their troubleshooter, yet they are refusing to repair or replace as of now. They work fine, great actually, but...
