Oregon and Washington BS thread

Hmm..

There's about 1,000 ways to do the same thing..

I'm going to butcher the explanation without a picture; but I'll try.. Try to find a single chain link - nothing crazy - just big enough that the screw to the winch drum will pass through it. Tuck splice the link of chain to the rope.. Shoot, you could probably even just electrical tape a loop in the end. The main objective is that the chain will serve as an attachment point for the end of the winch line..

I know that "most" people say that you should leave 2 wraps. I say at least 5. That's just me. I've seen failures on 25 Ton winches due to not enough wraps on the winch drum. Not fun. In my opinion if you're pushing the reach on your winch that far; you need a winch extension.

As always, I'm not an expert; just providing a little input based off of my experience..

The way the line connects is not like a warn or supper winch. It's weird and stupid. Probably should have waited till to tomorrow to post. It's 28 outside. I'll deal with it tomorrow. Trying to put your line on meow. Been sitting on it forever due to this ordeal. Too fresking cold to do squat and my garage has no heat.

 

All I hear from your post Jason........ I'm a whiny little bitch who doesn't own a coat.

 

Lol he owns a coat! It's a brown one..resembles what lumberjacks wear!

Jason, my Facebook feed showed me that you like a page call NoMoreRacks and I've been on that site ever since! Damn you!

And Filson wool FTMFW.

 

There might also be a kind blonde holding me back as well . Speaking of which I need to familiarize myself with underground text lol.

 

So is that just the same as Pendleton wool?

FYi, I score my wool from value village. Bought some merino wool for $30 on one of my finds, probably the most expensive bit of clothing the stores ever sold lol

 

Underground text???????????

 

Uh.. the place that went bye bye. Lol

 

Not to go full metal yuppie..

I finally picked one up recently - wanted one for quite a while. Awesome stuff. Especially since they're still made right in Seattle. Not cheap, but I'm a fan of bulletproof gear.

 

For sale?

 

Looking for a fabricator?




Anyone have a set of chains they're not using?

Found a few on Craigslist, but 255s are a really odd size.. Going to try and break through from Wanatchee to Ellensburg through Colockum next weekend.

I would love to buy this off the guy, but it will probably be gone before I get back to the NW.

No. Nothing compares to Pendleton wool. It is only shorn from a very special type of virgin mountain sheep (we don't let californians near them) and only once a year, during the coldest day in February. It seems cruel, but the wool quality is unsurpassed by even the most expensive synthetic fibers. 'Course, I might be biased because I live here. If the Pendleton wool won't keep you warm, the Pendleton whiskey will.

 

Fixed.
