    Tire chains

    When you chain up the front you are risking tearing things up such as brake lines and steering parts. I have always been leery when I have chained up all 4 and try to avoid it when I can. When I just chain up the rear I try and have at least a 1000 lbs in the back of the truck. This will give...

    Tire chains

    Yep it is a lot easier learning how to put them on when it is nice and dry than miserable, wet, and muddy

    Tire chains

    I should of mentioned the tensioner but don't get the spring type that they sell for tire chains. Instead get some black bungie cords. I have found that 30 inch ones work best. Hook them in a v and upside down v. They work a lot better than the spring type

    Tire chains

    You want a good cross bar set and the heavier duty the better. Some shops that sell them will take them back if you don't use them. As for where to get them, check with the shop where you buy your tires. NAPA also sells them or you can get them online at tirechains.com I believe

    RCBS Metallic Reloading Intro Kit?

    It has the scale which millions of us used before the digital ones came out. It should also include a primeing tool of some kind. You need a good reloading manual. All of the bullet manufacturer's have them along with powder manufacturer's. I would get the one to go with the bullets you plan...

    Long hauling meat

    A lot of out of state hunters that hunt here in Colorado will use a chest freezer and a generator. While in camp they will process the meat and stick it in the cold freezer and once frozen they will only run the generator enough to keep it below freezing. Then on their way home they wont need...

    My Dream Hunts List

    Hunting away from the area that you are familiar with is interesting in that you get to learn and see new country. I grew up in Utah and have hunted most of the state but we still don't just put in for the same unit year after year, we try something new. The same can be said of our dream...

    Truck Tires - on/off RD

    About all I get with my Big 0 AT's is 40K. They look like street treads but do alright in snow and mud but could be better. I also change them out when they start to get down in the treads. I like being safe rather than thrifty. I am to the point now with my truck that the tires will start...

    Unit 18 Status

    Colorado has been fairly fire free this summer, I think that we needed the rest after the last few years. As other have said we are green and green all over but the last month or so we have started to dry out and in just the last couple of days they have started placing fire restriction in...

    Wyoming considering a move?

    Your cost of living is also going to depend on where you are living at. I would love to be able to pay Denver, Colorado prices where I live but I also know that isn't going to happen. Also usually the further away from a major metropolitan area the higher your cost are going to be. I have...

    Wyoming considering a move?

    Also if you start looking at property and you find one with a flowing stream through it don't presume that you can use any of the water in that stream. In order to use the stream water you would need to purchase water rights to do so. On another forum there was a member that was thinking of...

    Truck Tires - on/off RD

    As I aged I got tired of the hum, extra cost, unable to find, and all the above for tires for my vehicles. Instead I just switched to all terrines and have found that they work OK in most situations but if I need traction in mud, snow, or whatever I throw on the chains. But if you want to...
