New England B.S. Thread

I may have one of those in the door compartment of my truck.

pretty great pruner.

 

Pull saws are great,I carry the silky kantana boy 1000. Great to move trees off the trail, or when camping. I've downed some pretty large trees.

 

OR.. for when someone decides he needs to cut down a Christmas tree in the middle of the Allagash

 

Nice spear.

 

Could double as that too, the cold steel g-10 espada is always in the truck if I ever needed a spear.

 

Haha someone made short work of that truck ornament

 

truck ornament?

 

Thinking that’s a dam good idea, I’ll start hunting one of those down to put in the truck, already have one in the camping fire tote.

Now feel like strapping this to the rack.

 

I've got two speeds. The fiskar saw and the axe that rides in my back seat. I try to keep well outfitted always

- First aid kit
- 126pc tool kit
- Tape , wire, zipties
- Headlamps + flashlights + gloves
- Saw + Axe
- Air compressor + tire repair kit
- shackles, straps, snatch strap
- warm clothing overnight emergency gear
- compass , multitool, knife, water, paper maps

Hm... sounds like my truck...

 

And that's the lite list too. Haha. There's a ton more nick nack stuff like lithium grease, wd-40, fire starters , rigging...

 

Got some of the list covered, need to get recover gear. Did have a tow strap (didn’t know better), till I lent it to some yahoos trying to get a new style vw up the road. Can’t remember exactly what happened, definitely a few in, but where lining a truck up behind it to push it and one tire wasn’t moving as it locked up. So I thought it would be better to see them pull versus push, and living on dead end. Figured they must live up the road and would bring it back. Guess I was wrong.

Anyways, nice list.

 

Nice! I have that list covered in my truck also, very handy. I only have a hatchet and the SOG shovel though, no saw. Also pretty light on recovery gear but do have shackles and a chain (yes, I know the proper use and limitations of a chain vs a recovery strap).

 

Tow straps are good for static applications but snatch straps are the way to go for basically anything else. @Bruce988jl and I can tell you its still a rough ride getting pulled out of a 3 foot tall snowbank, even with a stretchy snatch strap haha

 

Made it to the White Mountains today. Forecast calls for 6-10 inches of snow; it just started dumping out where we are. It’s been a while since I have gotten freshies to ride. Hitting up Wildcat Mountain tomorrow with the wife and I couldn’t be more psyched.

 

I may or may not have some goodies

 

EDC a Kershaw Scallion I got from my wife for christmas

(what do you want for christmas? Well I want this knife here... and she says "I don't know if I want to be married to a man who carries a knife..." SHE has her LTC!!!) annnnd at least 3x since christmas someone in our social circle has done the old "Anyone have a knife?" and I'm all...dramatically...WHYYYYY YESSSS.....
I love the single handed action on it and the frame lock. Sits nicely in the Levi's change pocket.

I have this in case it gets Walking Dead-y

 

Is that a Silky? Which one? I’ve got two Silky Pocket Boys,one in the truck, one in the kayak or bike pack or day pack depending on the activity.
