Dang, just saw this email last night and bummed I’ll be out of town.

Bump

We did the BHA fence project in Gunnison last weekend, had a great time and took down 5+ miles of abandoned 4-strand. Sorry I'll be out of town for this one!

Sorry I'll miss you, thanks for volunteering!

Where were you near Gunnytown?

Where were you near Gunnytown?

There were a couple sites, we started at Hartman Rocks, finished that, and then went over northwest of town. Camped at the I-Bar Ranch, that was fun...

Tentatively in (75% in), plan to drive there for the day.

 

[Hyhunter]

I signed up and plan to be there. Likely scouting for the two days prior and working the day, but then driving back for work sunday morning.

 

[elkduds]

Hope to see you there, @MattinCO and @Hyhunter . Let me know beverage preference. It would be awesome to see a stout representation from HT, and I can afford to pour for several more.

 

[MattinCO]

@elkduds I'm in, thanks for the offer of a beverage, but I'll pass since I'm doing a day trip.

My first fence project, do you know what should I bring (tools, gloves, etc.) vs what is provided?

Outstanding, and a genuine welcome to HT!

The press release asks us to bring fencing pliers, gloves, heavy wire cutters, not sure what else. Suggest you reach out to sponsor

[email protected]

for more accurate information on what is needed. I can imagine digging tools, pry bar, come-along might be useful.

Tell you what, I'll reach out to Mr. Sand, let him know there is a HT contingent attending, ask for more specifics about what tools are needed, and post his reply here. Your participation definitely merits a 6 pack IMO, whenever you decide to enjoy it. Let me know.

Prybar and eye protection. Springy barbed wire to the face is no joke.

Definitely maybe for me and my wife. Question: do we have to register or can we “show up announced”?

Gentlemen.
We will need T post pullers , small bolt cutters, fencing pliers and gloves.
Please forward my contact info if anyone has questions.

Not my call, but I can't imagine them turning away day help. The limiting sign up factor could be campsite availability.
Thanks to you all for making time for this project. Looking forward to meeting each of you!

This may not be helpful for you all, but I have found the following method to work on most t-post removal.

Very helpful, I don't have any of those tools, but will use this as an excuse to buy more tools. Like the idea of a tool that can be used for multiple things (both driving and removing t-posts) vs the t-post puller.

 

[elkduds]

Bump, beer offer still stands.

@Hyhunter , what's your flavor?

 

[kiwi hunter]

Wish I could but can't swim that far. Great idea though.
