The marine style squeeze bulbs are nice for particular applications, but for siphoning gas from automobiles it's easier to just use a small diameter clear hose (1/4” X 6' long) to suck start a siphon. The clear hose allows you to see the fuel before it reaches your mouth, and the small diameter...

Yesterday afternoon, I posted what I thought was a humorous statement on this thread, and it was deleted without explanation, within minutes.........  and I wasn't even bickering with anyone.... lol

 I’m guessing that you’re talking about tongue and groove pliers, which are often called water pump pliers, but most often referred to as channel lock pliers....... If I were allowed to have only one tool, that would be my tool of choice...…..  I believe that I could tear apart damn near...

If the SHTF, wild game will be quickly depleted, and having a large expensive stockpile of essentials would tie one down and make them a nervous and paranoid sitting target. I think having a small stealthy go pack at the ready, and knowing which plants and insects are safe to eat is the...

You didn't mention it, so I have to ask if you first checked to see if #2 spark plug is firing before you started working on the distributor? If it is firing, the problem is probably a faulty fuel injector/poppet, assuming that your engine has the spider type of fuel injection. A compression...

B and C said: "Next time it won't turn over, hold the key in the start position and use your other hand to move the gear selector. If you hear the starter engage briefly while wiggling, the neutral safety switch is the culprit and needs adjusting. Put the selector in neutral and your foot on the...

I've spent the past hour trying to post a complete paragraph in a single post, only to receive a 404 error code

For some reason this forum will only allow me to post a few words at a time

and maybe even go from park to neutral while holding the key in the start position, but make sure and have your foot on the brake.

If you haven't already, you might wanna try wiggling the gear selection lever while holding the key in the start position,

I agree with highdesertranger, it sounds like a problem with the neutral safety switch.

Git er dun!

Just a thought, but it probably wouldn't hurt to check with your electrical provider and see what it'd cost to have an additional service drop installed. Might be your best and safest option.........  I have a neighbor who recently had an additional drop installed. The power company installed 2...

Having a ready-to-go survival pack is a good idea, but that 2 wheeled cart is genius... lol Could probably also rig that cart to haul in firewood, water, and whatnot from around the campsite

Congrats, that's a good lookin' rig....... Happy trails!

A small pipe wrench with a cheater pipe slipped over its handle can make quick work of twisting and levering a long rebar stake from the ground.  Confucius say: "A small pipe wrench and a couple of different sized cheater pipes can be inexpensive yet valuable tools to have in one's toolbox"

Horrifically funny:                                                                                                                                                                                                        Cousin Eddie parks his dilapidated motor-home in front of the Griswold...

Thanks for the warm welcomes, RoamerRV428 and MaTaLa. MaTaLa, those Bigfoots look pretty sweet.

Yeah, a truck would get me further up or down the trail, but I think a van is more suitable for a full time mobile dwelling and will get me relatively close to the back country where I can hike further in if I so desire. Not as nimble as I used to be, so I will probably be shopping for the...
