Eastern PA BS-O-Rama-A Useless Thread

I'd take the ditch.

I had to come down the same road in my 2wd long bed chevy with no weight without a problem and she has an awd subaru. I think it's another simple case of somebody running late for work and driving like a dipshit.

As dad used to say.
4 wheel drive,not four wheel stop.

Therein lies the problem.

You'll catch hell for that. ,

Does anybody have experience doing paracord knife wrap? It's been my little pet project at work the last few weeks and I've accomplished nothing.

Ask Jeff,he's a real trooper.

This is the kit I ordered:

but the handle pieces don't come precut, just a 2x2 block of wood. I decided to do a paracord but as you can see there is a finger groove in the tang and I can't keep the paracord wrapped evenly around it.

This is what I'm aiming for:

It won't be the last time.

Start here: and then there are tons of utube vids.....

Hey 'E

Thanks for the link. The animatedknots site is pretty neat. I wish I had that back in my scouting days.

This is where I'm at now.

It's just a simple weave. I think for the two exposed end I will do a gaucho knot or turks head, then a monkey's fist for a lanyard.

When HB and I use to plow snow/and salt/sand for a living we loved our chains.. On our 1 ton dully dump truck (GMC)

HB drove .. I would shovel the sand/salt into the hopper..
Or would just spread it from inside the bed of the dump body..

Our gas spreader didn't always work..:huh

Spencer, I'll bet there's a few knifesmiths on ADV. What a cool project. Always wanted to make a throwing knife


Eric, wuzzup? How's New Scotland?

A pineapple knot is nice too...
I use them when I made riding bats...
I would also use a 18 strand plait..

I use 2 books called
{Leather Braiding Bruce Grant 1950}
{How to make Cowboy Horse Gear, Bruce Grant, 1953}

back to the snow driving topic. What would you guys recommend for a snow tire. Currently my truck has P235/715R 16 on them and they are summer tread. It's a 2wd truck, should I bother replacing the front two?

I've heard good things about the firestone winterforce tires and the price is pretty good.

Hankook winter pike

Unstoppable on the suby, accelerated and stopped like it was on dry
I unhooked the ABS

Personally, i would do all 4

I like these, long tread life and get me where I need to go. BF Goodrich All Terrain

I use cooper weather masters.

I have these on the jeep now, Have not tryed em in the snow,
