Or use the winch on the 4 wheeler to secure Shawnee National Forest - We live out here because we're not all there. http://www.ripcordassociation.com 101 Pathfinder Det / Vietnam 1969 - 1971

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

I just drilled a hole in the front frame and it has saved me a ton of time loading and unloading my 4 wheeler

No more fighting with the ratchet straps that are frozen shut. boat buckle is the brand I bought
