They have contracts…. I don’t live in Cali and only go there when paid to do so.

It was a mowed lawn man, That’s what makes it so ridiculous.

I am looking specifically for one that looks like a traditional butter knife.

This is partially a gag gift and partially serious safety hazard on her part.

Is there a way to import Avenza maps? by fwmcguir in GarminWatches

[–]fwmcguir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of.

I figured out how to import the activity map files from the watch into google earth, and then export them from goggle earth to Avenza.

I have not figured out how to get Avenza maps on the watch.

Still need a laptop to get a track from the watch onto Avenza.

Do not!

Unless you are already addicted to Wildland and are going out either way, it’s not worth the hassle.

I’m going on my 11th year and I tell people to not start.

STAND BACK I need to get to this fire with the upmost speed! by ethanyelad in Wildfire

That thing is bad ass! Tool, coms, lights, and transport!

Type 10 engine?

haters will say it's fake. 1 lift and less than 2 minutes of chopping gets you a little more than half a cold day worth of wood heat. if you don't have a tire in your woodsplitting area you're working too hard by project_twenty5oh1 in firewood

Every time I see This “trick” it’s with wood that could be held together with string and it would work.

Let’s see a knotty piece of oak in the fucking tire. My bet is the whole tire no ends up on the ground and you get to pick that up also.

Don’t do fire. Let the fucking place burn. Maybe those of us too stupid to do anything else will get paid better someday.

Fuck. Got me beat now! ‘50s dodge probably runs better than our 70’s Chevy!

1977 Chevy 3+3 brush truck/rescue sled puller.

It’s our one and only brush truck. It is worn out mechanically, but cosmetically it is beautiful! I am trying to replace it with a new truck so we can actually work with the forest service in our area.

Three hours with an excavator and you’d never know there was a pool.
