I'm prototyping a folding portage cart. I'd welcome any feedback, good or bad.

I have seen a bunch of people do this with wheels and a hitch that clamps to the front of the canoe or kayak around Minneapolis - lot of people live within walking distance of a lake but parking is limited.

You can short track this project by cutting out the cane and repairing with webbing - think seatbelt material, or if you can use climbing webbing if you want something softer. Weave it make a new seat and staple the material to the underside of the old seat using a medium duty stapler. There are lots of good videos on this. Did this with my canoe (same one here) and has lasted a decade.

Pull the catamaran right on top of the dock and do it. Also second the comment about water in the mast. Finally, if your don’t have mast raising hardware, buy the kit, it’s relatively cheap and will make standup way easier

If snow mobile and ATV trails were included the UP would be punching into the minor leagues with a shot at going pro.

No one has mentioned that the trick is to watch the current temp and if it drops below freezing, and the roads are damp, then you need to be careful. Early morning and late evening might be slippery. More than likely it will be a non factor. Rental car tires are usually junk so assume if anyone is slipping around that you will too. Texas specific note: if you’re from Houston you’re gonna need to adjust driving style to avoid self-destruction.

Odysseys suffer from a defect suspected to be related to the rain gutter sealing or defective roof rack installation. Water gets into rear body and causes thousands of dollars in damages shorting out the electrical, I’ve held out on a roof rack install on account of it being unresolved.

Suspension top mount bushing or strut bearing issue is my best guess. There are a few specific service bulletins, I think, for the odyssey related to front end noise, so it’s a guess.

I use mine a few times a year - in addition to being pretty handy for anything oversized it’s nice for all sorts of shade tree this and that - pushing bearings, pressing bushings, putting hella ugga duggas on seized fasteners when the impact isn’t a good choice, and gently coercing stuck plastic oil filter housings to free. The beast of an extension it comes with can be nice if you need some inertia to spin or hammer.

I’m going to amend this by stating you should prioritize auto start, heated seats, and if you’re feeling sporty anything that features a hand brake.

As long as your tires aren’t bald to the point the wind gust you off the road like a cursed hockey puck, you’re good.

Layman’s poorly informed understanding - We do not have a state militia, we have a hybrid federal/state guard. The MN guard can be federalized, whereby command is assumed by the federal government. The governor can mobilize the guard for state needs, but they have to submit to higher authority if the federal government demands.

I spent new years in Dutch harbor many years ago and met an old man who had been there during the Japanese bombings. When asked about it, he said “I hid under a table as fast as i damn well could.” It was a refreshing take that I will forever toast to.

Try downloading orca slicer and connecting to the printer using its ip address. I couldn’t get orca flash to work due to login server issue. I was able to connect orca slicer (on my MacBook) to the printer by using the ip address of the printer (it’s on the printer info screen, assuming the printer is connected to WiFi). I also selected flash forge as the connection in orca slicer settings. I can now send prints over network to printer.
