Gear List '22...so it begins

[sneakem]

Best of luck...

Nice…Good luck!

Good hunting, Harley.
I am impressed you are finally moving up from your 'challenged 6.5'
to a stout 700. Progress

The 700 .257 Wby was seriously considered...it's legal and plenty stout. But the man card RUM will get it done if the Mashburn hiccups...& wears the same stock.

Colorado bound Wednesday after next, 10-26 Ken Jr., a longtime hunter friend, and myself. Trailering 3-4 large coolers, hope we have to buy more. So it begins . . . first elk trip since '19, too long.

Are you taking tire chains? Looks like some snow chances starting Sunday. I’ve never been to CO past September and wonder how bad the FS roads might be. We are renting a 4x4 truck in Denver and wondering if I should buy a set before heading into the mountains.

Imagine the regret of needing them and not having them

On the topic of tire chains, anyone got a good brand recommendation? I need a new set.

Bingo sir....I'm getting these. Hoping they're rim safe.

Both my trucks have them, chains.
The Ford has them from Tirechain.com,v-bar like above. Clear the rims easy with the STMaxx tires and cinchers.
My rims are not so ...nice. They have lived an unsheltered NM life.

You are going to try them on for size on that nice driveway aren't you Ken?

Ken Jr. will be our high paid wrench...I'll throw down a moving blanket coz I'm a thoughtful boss.

Naw, wait until they're shin deep in mud w/ wet gloves at night w/ 20 degree, 30 mph wind cooling your jets.
Life is full of small challenges

Following!

Good Luck!!

Good luck!

A couple short chunks of 2x6 for a little drive-on lift certainly makes getting chains on much easier.

Hope y'all fill the freezers!

Nice tip, appreciated....I keep a couple in the trailer tongue box for the crank foot that'll work.
