M.J.Lampert

ok so now i have all the photos flight up in a De-Haviland Beaver ok so hears a good a place as any to start as these where the express rout to camp 1.5 hours of bouncing through bog and brush actually the first thing i saw was this kawdy lake international shack, Argo storage and partial wind break for those waiting for the planes M.J.Lampert P.S. more pictures in later comments heres a picture of a map i am 1.5hours east of burns lake at the bottom corner we where in an area south and west of Atlin, about 45min by plane from dease lake

looks nice were they precut and textured while hot or was that all forged? added to my forge stand now can block of both ends and hang "all" my 5 hammers right there(only 4 in pic as 1 is getting a new handle got my forge running again is it normal for a frosty t to eject the at an angle? i don't remember it doing this before could it be due to refractory getting in the nozzle also its only heating to a bright orange to increase the temperature i need to add oxygen (pull the mig tip back from mix tube) M.J.Lampert

ah this is the way i do it now i used to use a torch strikes and went through flints to fast for my wallet then at Dollarama i found they have boxes of 250 kitchen matches for 1.99 so this works out nicer no bunt hands etc. M.J.Lampert

lee has a good point i would flood it just to make it automatic so if you have a fuel then you don't forget M.J.Lampert

thanks Thomas what are the items on top dating ? M.J.Lampert

thanks for the advice i got a 5 gallon bucket saved now to dry it with the temperatures often dropping below freezing at night oh well at least i know it works just need a better barrel also hoping for a good thanksgiving for the rest of you M.J.Lampert

ok an SOS here i made charcoal today and it went good except when I went to shut it down the barrel was bent and there are air gaps so the fire continues to oxidize i have lost about half my initial crop please help me what should i do can i pour water on and then dry the fuel out later or what do you recommend help... M.J.Lampert

Billybones it doesn't halve to be blacksmithing related see all the puns etc. besides I'm sure there's more history buffs on here than just me M.J.Lampert

a few pics to keep you anticipating loaded and trip up a young black bear outside the owners place where we stopped before leaving at 4am to drive up arrived at flat plane base 10:15 need to wait for my father to get back from logging camp before i can continue(weekend maybe) as stupid me put the cameras in my backpack for the flight in and had to use his phone M.J.Lampert

please correct me if I am wrong from what I've read some woods require to be stabilized in a vacuum chamber and something like cactus juice. what I'm wondering is it ok to use oak or apple wood (I was given both) with just keeping them dry and then a good finish of BLO on top or if i need to make/ find someone with the equipment to stabilize thanks and sorry if I'm repeating something in another thread I did do some basic searches but might have missed it M.J.Lampert

looking good Jennifer

my father had a similar experience the worst i had was a strike close to school when we(me and some friends) was messing around the baseball backstop the strike was enough to stand the hair on you neck we where immidiately ordered away as that wat the largest medal object for quite a ways well yes its open season for those who doe like buck meat i use a 20 30 and have a filled 100 but haven't done enough to need it hopfully this winter it will be needed M.J.lampert

sorry i haven't had a chance to post pics but hope to do so soon M.J.Lampert

my same thoughts saw some excellent appys in the mountains didn't get much on pics but there was a red roan i have a few of glad your still kickn M.J.Lampert

heading out today made this scabbard for my axe yesterday, talk to you all when i get back and keep safe M.J.Lampert

ok giver on part 2 M.J.Lampert

sorry i should have explained better at base camp there is a cook out at spike camps the guide and/or wrangler will do the cooking the wrangler at the least is stuck with dishes (we are usually blessed by the inventor of paper plates) also yes on a drive I have herd of stories of what happened if someone decided to mess with chucky they would get some oil in the next meal, and runs for the next day. this was an effective safe guard as for a man on a horse getting off every time you need to let on rip (quite often with all the beans)and this would be a simple waty for chucky to get revenge not sure this could be an urban legend if so correct me M.J.Lampert on the other hand i am going to grab the few items i still need from the city

not sure but there's either a lip or a delamination on the last photo showing otherwise looks great M.J.Lampert

month and a half, 3 hunts moose and caribou as well as wolves this will be the longest trip i have been on (the last one was me and father for 2 weeks after bison ) PS I might end up being chucky for part of the time NO I might get kicked out of camp for that or at the least be allowed zero access to the axe/hatchet (I had to look that up and was surprised i was able to sleep after that) ok that's quite funny in a very dark way M.J.Lampert

this is where i will be posting pics of this years wrangler trip (for those who don't know a wrangler is the person incharge of the horses, in my case for a hunting outfitter) i will also hopfully give some pics as i prepare for the trip keep safe y'all and don't burn yourselves when I'm gone M.J.Lampert

haven't been in the shop for the last while and wont be for the next month and a half as I am going wrangling for a hunting outfitter will start a thread in everything-else to post pics in on that note what do y'all recommend for hiking boots i destroyed my last pair and was very unhappy with them (the soles where to hard and i slipped on damp rocks tp happy your OK M.J.Lampert

i recently pulled strut springs off a pair and luckily my father was there to stop me or i might not be here with the proper tools is safe. without it can kill you on a side note i got 2 fix up snow machines today a 500 and a 440cc hope to post pict tomorrow M.J.Lampert

we had some wind today, destroyed the hinges on the pumphouse/ cellar door also Saturday we had a late lamber with 2 new ones M.J.Lampert
