Catmandoo Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 hiflier, I believe that you have a pick up. Is dry ice available to you? It is easy to travel with dry ice with a pick up. Next up, liquid nitrogen for those multi-day adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite there being 5000 deer tracks surrounding it! One deer brushed it I think! Bunch ah horse manure. I bought it with Cabelas points. A browning btc-4ex command ops elite Oh so an update. I didn’t know a 32 card came with the camera. So I bought a 64 card extra from Cabelas. The camera doesn’t like the 64 card at all. So I’m running the 32 card and posting the pictures in the field section. Hay is holding, tomorrow will be a week. The deer are small potatoes against elk and moose I guess. I didn’t even know Moose ate alfalfa. But our resident Moose has seemed to have moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to travel with dry ice with a pick up. Next up, liquid nitrogen for those multi-day adventures. No need but thanks for the suggestions. This time of year block ice lasts for two weeks or better. I also am cautious about using dry ice because of the out gassing of CO2 in a closed space. Dry Ice is very cold, yes, but doesn't last very long. Last time I couldn't get block ice and so got bags. They are still in the cooler after a week but half gone. I got another block this time around. In the novel I wrote, the occupants of an older SUV kept a specimen on dry ice but the container was sealed since it was inside the vehicle with them. And yes, a pick up with a cap (sleeping quarters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Big Blaze cut trail for 2 of my buddies Jeeps today. The one Jeep is on 33’s and could follow me OK. The four door Jeep got stuck repeatedly and we finally chained up the front end. I never got stuck but my forward progress got stopped several times. At one point I jumped out of the K5 and was in knee deep snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC witness Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm so jealous of a day out like that. Our forest district FSRs have been closed to the public since mid November, due to the two big storms that caused all the flooding and highway closures. Only authorized personnel are allowed into the woods until the trails have all been inspected and repaired where necessary, so my hunting season and squatchin' outings have been on hold for over a month now.

wiiawiwb Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 A winter wonderland. That amount of snow will test any vehicle's snow prowess. You can tell from your pictures that the white, 4-door Jeep was less clearance than the red one. Looks like fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC witness Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Man, I'd love to come down to Wa. and see if my H3 with rear locker could keep up with your K5 in the snow, but it aint happening anytime soon, with border restrictions tightening up again, and my wife now totally wheelchair bound. Someday, norse, someday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC witness Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 I heard last night that the FSR closure has been rescinded, so I should be able to get out over the holidays for squatchin' and 4 wheeling, but hunting season is closed, so no fun there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmknight Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 While they indeed have been rescinded, there are still washed out sections and closed sections. Proceed with a great deal of caution, BC witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC witness Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Yes, cmknight, I read all of the FSR reports that were released; many of the roads I often travel are still severely damaged, and won't be repaired until the resource users need them again. I still feel squeezed out of large parts of "my" area, but I can at least get a little mud or snow on the tires now. :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
