Frank, still have my Fatbob and love it. Don't ride as much as we used to as it has gotten crazy with all the new folks moving in.I don't have my Fatbob anymore, but Crossbones Frank just doesn't sound the same...
Scott, no explosives used, and no Ma Deuce. Not needed! I will say though, thereās a guy a few miles away that sounds like heās shooting an M2. Drives me NUTS! Not because of the noise, but because his weaponās headspace and timing need some serious adjustment!I don't mean to criticise, bit I'm kind if an expert on this sort of thing.
You didn't have any explosives or a full auto .50 cal???

Foster, itās not the wireless remote. I replaced the batteries yesterday evening, pulled out about 50-60 feet of rope, and spooled it in with just my body tensioning it. The solenoids clicked the entire way, right up to the winch.
Scott, although I get your sentiment, the widowmaker was not attached to the tree when I brought it down. The Cat 3 winds twisted and sheared it from the upper trunk, and then wedged the entire 12-15 foot long branch (it weighed hundreds of pounds) into other large-diameter tree branches.Not needed?
Thats kinda like saying bacon isn't needed at a meal. Yeah, you can eat without bacon, but....
I have yet to execute that planā¦
I believe there is a schrader valve in them.Scott, although I get your sentiment, the widowmaker was not attached to the tree when I brought it down.

My days of blowing crap up and breaking things for the government ended in 2018. The wife wouldnāt be too happy if I continued to do that on our property, with our trees, etc.
Case-in-point. Yesterday I left some old small propane cylinders in an old foot locker out by the trash cans for pickup. My wife said it wouldnāt be safe for waste management, and said I was being irresponsible. She asked what I was going to do about it. I pulled them out of the trash. Of course my plan was to line them up against my shooting berm out back, and perforate them with rounds from one of my firearms. 30 years in the Army taught me thatās a viable course of action, of course!
She was VERY unhappy with that idea, needless to sayā¦
