Amphicat Project

Whats the melting point of skin? Anyways pics of trailer and I messed up and installed main sprocket backwards so I'll be fixing that over the next couple days. Should have taken better pics but everything was coated in rock guard and crap.

If you need any more crap...I found some on my couch!

 

[Felineman]

LMFAO nope cat left me some right in doorway, only one problem with trailer, it matches 6x6 BUT now my truck looks like a POS. I guess thats my next project.

Dude, You live in Canada! How hot could it be. What 50° or 55° F.
When I was in California it was regularly 90+ for 4 months. Sometimes 105 for 2 or 3 weeks straight.

 

[chancer]

I agree with you and I was being Funny, but sadly it is true.
and Dang 33c or 91F that is hot.
Especially for Canada. It was also 33 today in So. Cal

Carry on

He is talking about the Rain!

Trailer almost done just need to change my tires tomorrow and get a plate. Hoping to have other axles and tires mounted on 6x6 and engine running this week.

 

[Felineman]

Well I'm moving off-grid in just over a month, Solar power, RV living, and no internet, will finish 6x6 before winter and have access to WiFi in town so I'll post when I can. Father is going into full-term care so I am moving up north to my friends 200 acre property and building my cabin next spring. I'll be working on the motor home and selling all the furniture this month so not much time to work on project till I get settled in new home.

DUDE! There's SERIOUSLY only ONE reason I don't live in Alaska! I don't like cold weather!!!!

I could climb the highest mountain.....be the most insane crab fisherman ever....but...that crap involves cold weather! !!!

I think I just wanna catch gators!

Anyway....good luck...and enjoy a slightly slower lifestyle! (And maybe SEVERAL TIMES more fulfilling! )

I was Gonna post something and I just saw Poboy's si.g line and lost my thought!

Oh yeah Have a great trip. Nature is awsome and it can kill you too. Enjoy!

 

[Felineman]

enjoy a slightly slower lifestyle! ?????????????????? You obviously don't have a clue about off-grid living. 10-12 cords of wood needs to be cut and split for winter, septic system and rain collection systems needs to be installs. Solar system needs to be installed and then theres grass to cut roads to fix bridges to repair hay to cut roofs to mend, SLOW? **** you don't have a clue how much work there is to do.

All true....and I'm no stranger to working 16 hr. days...BUT.... there's a difference between the hussle and bussle of city life...and the chance to take five anytime you want and enjoy nature.

It's true you have deadlines to meet...but they are not written in stone. Even though you may HAVE to get up an hour before dawn and quit after dark...there's something about doing for YOURSELF and not someone else. It's liberating. Regardless, to me...it ALWAYS feels slower...(maybe just because it's the way I feel away from the city.)

Didn't mean to imply it wasn't easy or less work...just to me....chopping firewood all day...is a slower lifestyle...than being at the mercy of a traffic jam when you don't have a lot of time to spare.

.....While I was cleaning up the coffee I just spit all over my keyboard!

BTW: For future reference my sig at the time was: "Future 2016 build-off winner and President."

On the other hand... After you do all that work 16 Hours a day, and If you are prepared for winter and 22 hrs a day of darkness.
Dont you get a lot of Down time in the winter?

 

[Felineman]

More like 14 hrs of darkness in winter, not that far North. Not really Jan/Feb I need to start cutting trees for cabin, and the years after that I probably have livestock to feed.

 

[Felineman]

Amazing how much CRAPOLA you collect over the years, been to dump over 10 times and electronics drop off about 6. Nothing done of late other then down sizing to the extreme, move can happen anytime.

Cell Phone? Satellite Internet?

Read carefully!

 

[Felineman]

Front brakes on motorhome need to wait for friend to bleed them, have to pull rear axle to check backs. 6x6 in trailer awaiting delivery up north, garage needs a MAJOR cleaning and slowly downsizing to the EXTREME so that everything will fit in motorhome and trailer. Have 6 axles in and 4 tires mounted, electrical almost done and most of the mechanicals are complete. I'll get some pics soon once I find the time between packing and trying to find where my sanity went.

 

[Felineman]

My new home for the winter till I build my new cabin next spring.

Wishing you Happy trails!
This gives new meaning to your sig line!
