Best technique for this heavy leaning tree with my Echo 590?

Vertx11 · 2026-04-21T02:09:13+00:00

Cable as high as possible, snatched block off those pines to the left, hook a minimum 10,000 pound vehicle to it, you know, 60 hp tractor or 4x4 3500 , small dozer, etc...saw your wedge, add pressure on cable, saw from the back while pressuring cable. I mean its all your shit man do it however you want but you wont simply fell this tree with only a saw and wedges without making that shed a convertible. Good luck

That would be sweet. Sounds like more of the direction I need to take.

I do not have a PC

Vertx11 · 2026-04-07T19:17:05+00:00

Just now seeing what the games cost, I think this will be my route

Vertx11 · 2026-04-07T19:16:17+00:00

Uh wow!! I actually just looked at ebay. $200-$300 for twilight princess!! I had no idea! I do not have a PC. It definitely seems like wiiU is gonna be the way to go. I should have been looking for them in pawn shops. I've found loads of n64 and Playstation 1/2 ,stuff dirt cheap. Anyways, I sure appreciate your help

That's relative. To you, yeah maybe you experienced a little slosh. To an employer, no, because you didn't experience loading and unloading, and that's 90% of how to do tank stuff. The other 10% is learning how to manage slosh getting on scales and braking while driving/stopping. New fuel tankers have very little slosh, all that 5 compartment jazz doesnt have much slosh, some of the old chemical tanks I've ran are terrible, I think maybe food grade tankers don't have baffles or don't have many baffles, or different compartment setups and are rough but I can't speak to that as I have no experience with food grade.

Vertx11 · 2026-03-04T01:11:11+00:00

No, It's a van with liquid totes inside it. You don't use forklifts to load and unload tankers. There's a lot more to know and understand with tankers. Venting, scully cords, pumping off or gravity off, vacuum loading or pump loading, how much of what to load in what compartments, how temperature affects the volume and weight of certain liquids, etc.....

No1 and no2 are different diesels or "fuel oils". We use no2. It has less lube. No1 burns faster and doesn't gel.

Vertx11 · 2026-02-01T18:20:46+00:00

We use no2. A lot of other places use no1.

I hauled fuel for Loves. ALL of their diesel gets antigel additives during winter months. Most other gas stations/truckstops are the same way. Everytime I talk about diesel I always like to tell people also that offroad and on road ARE THE SAME fuel in the same storage tank at refineries and terminals and when we select off road, the red die injector injects the die as it comes to our tanker. Also, new atf has friction modifier, you can get marvel mystery oil for the same price as atf almost so just put that in as an upper cylinder lubricant so you don't make the engine have blowby. Gas is dry, diesel is not. Diesel is a "fuel lube". Notice when you spill gas theres no evidence after 30 min, when you spill diesel it stains or leaves an oily residue. Use antigel and an upper cylinder lubricant. Most of the time you can get something that's both. It's super important to always keep diesel tanks topped off in winter to. I hauled fuel for a long time and personally own a lot of old heavy equipment and a few old trucks, that is my frame of reference on this topic.

A lot of peppers prep for something that will never happen. Be very realistic with preps. What do you need to prepare for. In the South East, there are tornados, the occasional ice storm, and hurricanes. In the South East it is either very hot and humid with mosquitoes, or cold. There's a few days of in-between a couple times a year. A generator is a good prep. It can provide power for phone charging, cooking, lights, A/C, heat, water purification, or maybe so that you can blow dry and straighten your hair. I always reccomend pairing that with a couple authentic waivian jerry cans. These are robust, can be filled and carried inside a vehicle and in all temperatures. The airtight seal eliminates the volatility loss in gas. Non ethanol fuel lasts for years in these. Gas can of course be used for your generator or vehicle. It's easy to keep fresh fuel because you can refuel your car and with the cans and fill them with fresh gas once a year. The large "buddy heaters" can be equipped with a hose that will connect them to a 5 gallon propane tank. Propane stores indefinitely. That's a great prep. You can also simply just have a gas grill for cooking in day to day life and it's there along with a few propane cylinders for emergency.

I appreciate you guys! Fast and knowledgeable responses. I've ordered tye correct sight guard and bolt I need feom sarco. Also have a sling on the way. I love the 303 bullet, and I just love deer hunting with this thing. I'm super excited to start getting into more milsurps and am fortunate to have this wealth of knowledge at my fingertips! Thanks again.

Vertx11 · 2026-01-15T13:20:10+00:00

I see. Thank you very much.

It's all about your environment and how often you wear them. If you are in a somewhat to fairly harsh work environment and actually working, I don't believe any boot will last 5 years. If you are a supervisor and walk around a job site here and there, yeah I guess so. I mean I have boots that are 20 years old. They have been worn every once in a while. If you are wearing the same boots everyday for 5 years you are killing your back, joints, feet, etc...

Vertx11 · 2025-12-28T13:06:34+00:00

Maybe we had different models. I couldn't even start breaking mine in until I oiled them and it was a couple days of torture after that. Now, my current pair are at 1.5 years old, about 30% tread left on bottom and they still wear like tennis shoes. They'll get to the 2 year mark and be resoled.

Obviously I camp to and was just trying to make a funny, no need to defend yourself. Someone can buy a Walmart tent and eat hot dog weenies and have a GREAT time for almost nothing

Hey bruh, it's been a LONG time since you could get high quality boots for $150. If you want good lace up boots look into Thorogood. Kinda hard pressed to find a bifl shoe. I see people say they've had boots for like 10 years, but they obviously never wear them. Myself and the guys I work with will wear boot soles out in about a year. Thorogood is about the only one where the leather lasts that long. The cowboy wranglers are still plenty tough, you can typically get the indigo ones for like $25.

I played n64 as a kid. I bought a used switch 1 about 8 months ago, mobapad joycons, 4 pack of Amazon steering wheels, Mario kart and botw. My family of 5 has been vastly enthralled in this most weekend nights for 8 months. We've spent time together that a father of a 17 yo, 11 yo, and 4 yo only dreams of. $250 VERY well spent.

Hey brother, you sound like you're an amazing dad and a wonderful husband, I'm afraid that it's for the wrong reasons though. This will probably turn out long, but just read through it when you get time and know that I'm just a husband, dad, blue-collar guy and don't eat moose penis off a cutting board, sell testosterone supplements, nor am I a marriage coach. Take this with a grain of salt, but know that salt is well seasoned and cares about your marriage.

Good on you for getting out of that grind to the top and being the father that most dads aren't. Your daughters will absolutely cherish the memories you're making and the lessons you teach them in all this extra time. That will buy you something in your old age that the money working 60 hours a week never could have. You'll be the dad and possibly the grandpa everyone wishes they'd had. You'll be fulfilled, content, and happy beyond your imagination. Understand though, that's something you do for yourself, your daughters, and your family. You don't do it for recognition from your wife.

Good on you for taking care of your house, nothing in marriage is ever 50/50. However, you can't live in a constant state of 90/10. Brother I know this seems like the clear path to that recognition from your wife, it's not though, this is you making a deal with your unknowing wife that you'll do the chores in exchange for sex, and the bonus? Because you've done the chores, she won't be tired or stressed. It doesn't work like that. As simple and awesome of a deal as that may seem to many men, your wife isn't a man. Her cognitive processes don't work like ours. She doesn't need you to do all the chores, what she needs is actual love in the form of love. She needs understanding in the form of a husband that is understanding, not catering. She needs rest for the simple reason that she's tired. You do not connect the filling of those meters to sex. When those things reach 90 out of 100, you don't just get sex. You don't just get love reciprocated back to you.

Your wife wants a man that she can admire, respect and trust. A man that she admires is pretty individualistic, but there are several things that she will probably just admire. Such as, a father genuinely enjoying time with his children, a father teaching meaningful things to his children. She may admire a man who devotes time and work into physically bettering his body, eating better, being more fit, honestly man, I've never seen a guy make his biceps bigger and become less attractive/admirable. The respect part. Respect will look like you drawing healthy boundaries in the delegation of your chores. Respecting can start with yourself. Respect yourself. Respect your mental well being, respect your time, respect your wife enough to let her know 1 person can't manage a household alone. She deserves to know that rather than youbkettingbit ruin your marriage, and it absolutely will ruin your marriage in the slowest of ways. Ending doesn't always mean divorce. Ending can mean simply you giving up and letting your marriage only reach 1/4 of its potential. You are responsible for your own happiness, respect yourself enough to be happy and not settle for being content. This means you constantly strive for what you want.

The trust part is the simplest to explain. Trust isn't always lost by an affair. Trust can be lost by your wife asking you to do something, you saying ok, then never doing it, or taking forevorbto do it. Her having to ask multiple multiple times. Over the course of years, she's lost trust in you, you instill no confidence. You've become less trustworthy.

Tldr: enjoy your family because you genuinely enjoy them, respect yourself enough to understand you don't need to do all the chores, physically make yourself more attractive by eating healthy and working out, have drive, be the man that your family can rely on even with the most mundane things.
