Any chance they'll call in helis and some ground teams?

 

Wait did you not read anything?

 

im sure they have hot shot teams up there already

 

Wind eventually will calm down but if it spreads too far you lose the ability for ground teams to reach it. I assume the first time they can helis will go in at least to assess it.

 

Im sure they are cutting and burning all they can rn to contain it but thats a large fire, doubt they have the man power to contain it all at the rate its spreading

 

Also depends on how dense the forest is. Cant get the fire retardant down on the ground w a thick canopy, hope the wind dies down @JKO1998

 

I dunno man, it’s been windy every day for months.

I know they’ll get it out, just sucks all the way around for everyone

 

Well I hope the wind cuts out soon for em. Don't suppose they'll do what WA and MT have done and declare a state of emergency to get more support.

 

Our forest is messed, beatles came through years ago and killed a bunch.

I spend a lot of time up there hiking off trail hunting and stuff, most the time I spend more time walking 5 feet off the ground on dead fall than I do on the ground.

 

A short wobble extension. Had to turn the drive shaft to just the right position to make it fit.

It was a cheepo MasterCraft. I have a Craftsman as my backup but it is a bit small. Snap-On is on the short list as a replacement.

 

Atleast you guys have alot of evergreen trees, out here where im at is all eucalyptus trees which are ugly and highly flammable

 

Have you ever thrown a limb of red pine needles on a fire?

Pretty much how the green ones are atm up there.

 

Pine beetle ravaged california forests w the drought. Only thin that kills those buggers is below 20 for over two weeks or lots of water so the trees sap can fight them off. Every year we have cut down about 18 trees on our property and if you drive into yosemite now there are huge swaths of brown sections of the forest. The smarties wont let them remove and thin the forest or whats left of the rim fire so its just waiting to be an even larger fire next time.

 

Eucalyptus Explodes into fire balls when the oil heats up and releases all the gas inside

 

Speaking of fires, the one near me is at 54k acres. 45% contained though and we're supposed to get some rain soon, so that's good. It's about 10ish miles away from downtown and about 15 miles from my house. This things been burning for over a month now, getting a little tired of the smoke and terrible air quality.


Here's a pic I took yesterday of the smoke.

 

I do

 

Can you be so kind as to look in it and see if you can find that part. Or maybe i can come over one day to look

 

You have a different one, I have a 1995-2000 steering wheel. As far as I remember there’s no plastic piece like that in there.

 

I had to use my air impact to remove the bolts. They’re on good.

 

Looks lik it was a bitch to get leveled lol
