Wheel chair batteries are not that expensive to replace if you are at all handy. Most use dual 12v SLA / AGM or lithium ion batteries. You can replace SLA / AGM batteries with lithium ion for more capacity just ensure they have the same case dimensions and terminal type and location. If replacing with lithium ion you will need to upgrade to a lithium rated charger which generally have a slightly higher output voltage than SLA / AGM batteries. Don't use a lithium ion charger on SLA / AGM batteries unless rated for both; the charge cycles are different.
Just replaced and upgraded Christine's wheel chair batteries (after 6 years) and fixed a broken wiring harness terminal, about an hour worth of work. ~$100.00 for both 20 amp-hr lithium LiFePO4 batteries, increased time of use by 30 percent and no. of recharge cycles ( life ) by 20 percent. Charger upgrade for lithium was $50.00. Cost of 15 amp-hr SLA / AGM direct replacement batteries would have been $70.00 for comparison, both from Amazon. Replacement 15 amp-hr to SLA / AGM batteries from the manufacturer are listed $250.00 on sale, $340.00 reg.

Not saying the problem is as bad as the article says, but I know a few guys who have killed wild hogs in the wild in Sask.

I’m right in the middle of this as well, being 5 miles South of the Oregon/California border. One of the lady’s on the trailer for episode two is my Aunt. The elk winter around my house, and to the northwest of my house, about 300 or 400 feet below my house elevation. The wolves stay to the Southeast of my house, they will never drop down to the elk in the winter… It’s way easier to hunt the beef, since the beef are usually closer to the timber than the elk.
The compensation program is a joke, and simply does not work! (But everybody somehow believes a lie that ranchers are getting compensated handsomely!!!)
And lastly, the hidden cost burden by the rancher is way more than the actual death of the animals. The amount of open cows, and lost pounds on the calves is what will eventually put them out of business.

We are seeing more mink here, I have never targeted them. I caught 3 one year, might try and top that this year. Most of my trapping is damage control, keeps me pretty busy

15+Years now, was written off by most 13 years ago. Just keep on living, do the best you can, and don't ever believe you can't keep going. Believe in yourself, and stay as natural as you can. Drugs or artificial foods aren't in your life. Any thing man made that isn't natural, isn't good for anyone. Remember when butter, eggs and real fresh milk was bad for you? Animal fat was bad for you? Now I can't get leaf fat, or any fat to render anymore. People are just starting to wake up. If you can find a butcher or a farmer that will sell you good animal fat, get it! Render it down, just like sour dough bread, it's natural. Look at lard or tallow you can buy for $ 20 a pound, look at the additives in it. Do your own as much as you can. Never cut off the fat from a steak or chop, it's the best part of it. Look up what's in margarine, how it was developed.

Could be head gasket and not putting water in the oil. Put antifreeze in it and check exhaust. If it is steaming and smells sweet get your checkbook ready. You mentioned not leaking on driveway. Not in oil Good luck

Got a start on the wall this evening. I think it’s going good so far! I used Lugnut’s method and used 8d 2 1/2” finishing nails to install the pine. Feels really strong and secure! ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/07/full-48678-296463-img_1867.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/07/full-48678-296464-img_1877.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/07/full-48678-296465-img_1878.jpeg) 3’ of tin on the bottom and 9’ pine on top. Never built anything before. Just going with the flow!

The turbo is a fairly simple and reliable piece of equipment generally. I’d not be worried a bit. But I’d absolutely buy the Ford 3.5 eco boost over the Chevy. Fwiw.

I appreciate a whiff of skunk on the cool morning air, too. My mind instantly goes to the trapline.
But my all time favorite is backbreaker. When I’m running a beaver line, I can’t help but sniff my fingers. No matter how much I wash my hands, I can still smell it. When I’m in a meeting, I can’t help but wonder to myself if the person sitting next to me can smell it too.
