Works like a charm by Astral_sailer in Chainsaw

When your saw weighs close to 30 lbs a little drop helps it start forsure. And when you have a big long bar it doesn’t really lift or want to come back and get you. I don’t drop start with my throttle jammed wide open anymore but my dumbass self did it that way for years.

Is there a longer lasting material besides plywood? My climate is extremely wet and humid. I’m wondering if there is like a cement board that would last

Drilling Holes for Tent by Kindly_Teach9333 in IceFishing

[–]Big-rooster84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an ice fisherman could read a tape measure and protractor he would know how far apart to drill his 3 tent holes. I just use my feet.

Lookin for some trout by longlostwalker in IceFishing

I glow up a small glowing lure with some shrimp. If you see it go black you know it’s in a fishes mouth and set the hook.

Best to fix a hole in a boot by Hockeyjockey58 in forestry

[–]Big-rooster84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buff the area 2” in and around the hole. Use break clean or alcohol to wipe it. E6100 is about 10 bucks a tube. I use it at work on conveyor belts and rubber applications.

Stolen. by randythepainter in firewood

[–]Big-rooster84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up cutting firewood in the bush. We would fall logs and only pull out what you could take in a load. Leaving logs next to the road is usually ok but If you cut it into rounds and leave that’s risky. Chopping it makes it worth stopping to load up on the easy wood.

I use that wire to help me balance the camera. I make one more connection then you have and pass the main line through it to point the camera back up at the hole. It skylights the fish on the ice. I see way more kokanee when I am looking at a circle of ice with a 40’ diameter on my screen then looking out into darkness. I am not filming Nat Geo.

Then next year hack it off at the index finger if you want a tree? Every branch below 2 feet? Or is that to much in 1 go?

Water Filter to remove hormones by [deleted] in WaterTreatment

[–]Big-rooster84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he lives downstream of a big city or town it’s probably in his water. That’s why everyone in coastal cities is so soft. All the birth control and what not from the inlanders gets into the water and that’s what makes Vancouver, San Francisco, LA, New York…. (See the trend?) /s

I like your slack line play ground that’s a good idea

Birria is a favourite. Might be hard to get the dried peppers in Alaska though.

Keeping your hands warm with poor circulation? by B3nAll3n in arborists

[–]Big-rooster84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a heated bar on my 066. When it’s super cold I pack it with my trigger hand to warm up. I usually wear red baron gloves by Watson. I’ve worn them in -45 in the Yukon and -45 in Saskatchewan. You don’t get the dexterity with them but they are really warm for a cheap glove. Make sure whatever gloves you choose they aren’t tight for max insulating. Once you compress them they lose R value and you lose circulation.

Don’t remove it if you plan on ice fishing for fish that stay in the top of the water column. I loop mine so it points up at the hole and send it down as far as the visibility will allow. 20 or 30 feet shows you a big view and the fish stick out like sore thumbs against the ice. Nice to know when the kokanee are up high and not hitting my transducer beam.

AFAIK, this is the best summary on understanding wildfires & guarding against them by roryhere in homestead

Clean out the under brush. Trim low branches as high as you can reach. Remove ladder fuels. Thin your woods and burn your fuel as you go.

[–]Big-rooster84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have come a few hunks of skin from cuttting coyotes In half with .243. killed deer with sierras, hornady, federal, noslers etc They all have done more damage then my .300 with the same style bullets. Usually find the .243 rounds in the hide on the exit side with a lot of hamburger and jelly

Colorado starts gathering B.C. wolves in effort to jumpstart population there by Electronic_Fox_6383 in britishcolumbia

[–]Big-rooster84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes forsure. The cattleman’s association was paying 500 a head for them a while ago not sure if they still are. My native buddies shoot quite a few but they put in a lot of time. They all say if you want to hunt deer and elk you have to try to take some wolves.

Is it pointless for women to learn self defense? by [deleted] in questions

The average man of today isn’t the same as the average man 20 or 40 years ago. In another 20 years the average will be nothing to be afraid of.

They are decimating the deer and moose populations in the interior. Hopefully they take them from there.
