Yup. There are lots of things that can help and with technique climbing can be a lot easier. But being in good condition is fairly mandatory for good results climbing. . Your young so you will be able to get in super shape. . Climbing is about the hardest work anyone can do. And it is a job...
Don't you have heaters on it? .. a 150 watt. 6" square pad on the oil pan and an 800 watt lower radiator hose heater works pretty good down there where its not too cold. . Its a lot easier on belts, hoses and all the other fiber/ synthetic parts if the engine compartment has a little warmth...
Wow. It was only 2° colder here yesterday. . That's really amazing.
But if things work out I'll be in Prudhoe this winter so I'll update you guys on the cold
I myself aren't crazy about the Caddy pads and if you get them MAKE SURE THEY ARE BIG ENOUGH TO FIT. Spend an hour in the spurs with the caddy pads that are too small and it'll make you repent of climbing. Bin there done that. I have 20" calves.
I really like the Big Buck pads. They are...
FFZ, I'm a bit lighter than you but a lot shorter. :) I also used foam pad inserts this past year. I set them inside my tall Viberg boots and lace them up. They really helped. Your Whites are pretty good but you will still get numb feet. My Viberg 105 T with the Urethane sole are awesome...
I think they are made from iron oxide. It heats up when exposed to air. I just toss 1 in each mitt. Or if I'm wearing gloves I put one inside on the back of my hands . Until I get my core up to making enough heat to pump heat to the tips of my fingers. Then I take them out and put them in...
Kinco or Kinko. I think its with a c. Anyway the best ones have
Pig skin leather and the insulation is called Heat Saver. But the warmest gloves are the RefridgeWear leather with the foam insulation. . If I can I wear either my leather insulated choppers or military arctic high gauntlet...
Oh well. Prolly be more customers wanting to keep their firewood for awhile .
When I grew up we had lots of cold. I have seen 40 below several times in Central Maine. And one winter, I think it was 71 or 73 it stayed below-25 for around 3 weeks in February. That was the year it hit-52° on...
Yup. Just make sure you and all your crew dry out their gear at night especially boots!! If your wearing felt lined pacs be sure to take the felts all the way out of the boots at night and put them up where they will get totally dry by morning. . If you use a Peet shoe drier u still need to...
Yup. Had to put a new blower in the heater on the pickup. The cold toasted the bearing on the old one. Its a challenge when you can't open the door. Course any mechanic work is a challenge to me :-). How u doin??
Welcome to the Tree House.
That's a major problem if you can get em inside and warm them up get as much of the #2 out of the tanks as u can and fill em up with #1 stove oil. . Or #1 highway diesel and a bunch of Power Service white bottle.
I wonder if he soiled his drawers. . Also makes me wonder if there wasn't a line in that top pulling on it. . I've taken some small rides but never anything close to that.
FFZ, just sozs ya know. We don't NEVER want to see you do something like that.
It's always best to cut things off a tree as lite as you can! Plus, plus, plus all the other stuff that guy did wrong. And be careful in that cottonwood.
