North West November 3rd 2018 Meetup List and Plan

Awesome, I'm bringing 2 sets of maxtrax knock-offs also. Never had a chance to use them, maybe I'm not try hard enough haha. Have all of you upgraded your tires? Stock tires aren't very good in the mud a believe.

 

I’ve got Duratracs. No recovery gear except some chains which I know aren’t recommended. But if I can’t get unstuck with chains or traction pads, I think I done messed up.

 

I got like 50 feet of tow strap. Including a 20-foot kinetic tow strap. Maybe somebody in the group has an electric winch. It's still on my long list of future upgrades LOL

 

FYI if your looking for a good spot for food after your travels, the Mint in Enumclaw has good beer and good food (recommend the nachos). Also kid friendly.

 

I've got 265/70/17 KO2's with no lift

Recovery gear:

8000lb winch (synthetic cable)
8' Tree saver
30' Recovery straps
Krazy Beaver shovel (aka murder spork)
Hitch recovery shackle

 

how long is this trail we are doing?

 

Sort of depends on how slow the group moves. There will be multiple points where we can stop and turn back or cut short the routes. I've been back there all day many times and never ran out of gas. But I'm going to bring an extra 5 gallons anyway.

 

Be sure to get some good photos and post'm up here! Totes jelly :/

 

You sound sick, man. Are you sure you can work tomorrow?

 

Monday Morning...

Mngr: Hey Colby. So I heard you couldn't make the Saturday shift?

Me: Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Was under the weather all weekend.

Mngr: Oh. Ok. So that isn't you, and your black truck? *turns screen to show TW with epic trail run photos from Saturday*

Me: *sweating profusely*

Y'all have fun out there, and be safe. No need for anyone to poke an eye out.

 

Lol
Anyway I was just thinking does anyone have a chainsaw they're bringing? It's been a little windy last few days there could be a tree blocking the trail. Miner is broken.

 

I'm rocking stock Toyos. They have been decent enough so far.

I've got an electric hedge trimmer and a hand saw. That's what you were thinking about, right?

 

Haha, I guess that's a good start. I'll grab a hand Saw too. Probably won't be a problem I just like to be prepared. I've been eyeing one of those cool battery powered DeWalt chainsaws on Amazon. It would be awesome not to have the gas fumes and to be able to charge it in the vehicle.

 

i never thought about that.... i know what i want for Christmas

 

Depends on the boss (the wife ) I can never figure out if she has shit planned. If nothing's happening tomorrow I'll show up and tag along

 

Sounds good! You know where to find us.







Just sneak out!

 

We're in the corner booth if anyone else is coming?

 

I'm still about 15 minutes out but I'm looking to have breakfast to

 

I'm inside. You guys at at a table

 

Missed this one, but intrested in the 17th run if your planning one.
