The post whore thread.

Do you deliver ?
Half & half chorizo please.

You're a bit far south from me for an impromptu delivery. We can make it a thing next weekend if you'd like.

40 deg and off to a pumpkin shoot, maybe.

Nice pics! I still dig those Amigos, there is one (or was one) for sale down the street from me, I've been meaning to inquire. How warm was your sleeping situation, with the heater buddy?

Okay so the tent heater is like a gift from the heavens, but it's a double edge sword because of the extreme temp swing between off and on. It's great while it's on. On high it probably gets the tent to 70 degrees, but it gets overwhelming sitting in front of it and it'd be unbearable once in the bag. I was using it to heat the tent up just before I went to bed, and just before getting up so that I could comfortably change clothes and stuff. Even though it's not physically large, giving it about 2 feet of space in either direction creates quite the footprint in the tent. Once you shut that heater off, the temp drops quick.

Now to better answer your question, I was surprisingly warm in my setup. Like you actually felt hot. Hot enough that if you were at home, you'd be kicking blankets off and stripping down. I could have slept naked and been fine. It was a weird situation because if you don't move, you feel hot, but the second your bag opens up a little, you get a blast of cold. And the whole time that top bag would have parts that were frozen on the top so it was like sleeping under a hard shell blanket. Every time you get up to pee (which was a lot for some reason, I think because of the cold), it's a shocking temp difference. Also, you end up sleeping with a lot of shit in your bag that you don't want to freeze, or want to try and dry out, like cell phone, wet wipes, water bottle, wet socks, etc. So it was manageable, but in the end I dreaded having to come back to a cold ass camp and ultimately decided to pack it up and come home early. I think I was pretty unprepared and cold at that level and not bringing enough stuff to be comfortable eats at your very soul.

Amigos are cute, and mildly capable, but after having this one for years I don't think I'd recommend buying one unless you were some super home mechanic and knew exactly what you were getting and had some sweet project in mind. They get pretty cool after a solid axle swap up front for example.

Why two tents Irving?

Other tent is for storing gear. In the past I've used it to put backpacks and boots and stuff, while all the people go in the big tent. In this case the only thing in there was the cooler, extra food stuff, and empty tent bag and the boxes the chains go in. This is the first time I've ever had a ground tarp though and that was nice.

I use radiant heat in my shop. Easy peasy clean burning propane. Yep.
Bit of angle iron at the peak leading to a reservoir for collecting condensation & no hassles.

You get to choose the meat at your santiago's? Ours is "chef's choice"... we get to choose which sauce, and cheese or no cheese...

[Irving]

They generally have the meat of the day, but you can always choose.

The ones around here have the Daily deal or choose what you want. I’ve even gotten the beef, bean, onion and cheese when I’m not in a egg, potato and breakfast meat mood.

If you're ever on the fence about squirrel and rabbit hunting, maybe this will change your mind.

[wyome]

Mebbe itz cuz I only use drive thru for breakfast burritos...the sign sez no special orders....next time I'll go in

[OtterbatHellcat]

I wouldn't have any problem eating non urban rabbit or squirrel,

But standing in the Kings looking at turkeys, a 22 lb fresh turkey has a tag that says $73 ?

You can go fuck yourself 8 days a week in my book.
