Yep only takes an hour to build then you have all day to fill it with rocks that always seem to sink into the ground and hide as soon as you finish building the frame. Lol

I see I am going to fix some fence come spring. Looks like a deer might have broke a wire now the snow has taken some of it down. A couple areas the snow really drifts on top of the fence.

Wolfe you don't need anything else to get wires tight if you've got a claw hammer and baling wire. You can get it almost as tight as a fence strecher and way less weight.

Saw a lot of those growing up in Missouri... No shortage of rocks.

I've seen a few old homesteads around here where they just skipped posts, rails, etc... and just stacked rock into walls for fences... Always seems to be hilly, rocky, country... Again, no shortage of rocks in that terrain.

why so many spark plugs , you running to rich ?

do you sharpen your own chains?


I just like having extras. Always seem to be dead in the woods and need one and the one spare I had I used a month prior and never replaced, just have four or so is about a years supply if not more. And I do but I like having the new extras because I can just slap on a new one real quick put the old one in a bag and get back to work. Wait till I get home to do a nice resharpening. I do carry a set of files though just to touch things up



spares I understand spares are good , there is a wire on my directional lever in my truck that holds spare bar nuts , I have one saw that having not lost a bar nut in years I lost 2 in a day and ended cutting

I have a vice on my trailer so when I am gassing up I sharpen if it needs it

a prescription pill bottle for shotgun chokes and gapped spark plugs is a handy thing a little packaging foam so you can gap the plug and stick it in the foam cap it off and not beat it up in your kit you could wrap it in a little rag also and stuff in the bottle , write what it is for on the outside
