Rusty_Old_F250 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If your playing TLD, chances are you like being in the great outdoors. Post your pics here! This is from a trip early last year up in the north cascades, and that cutting torch is the back is the best fire starting tool know to Sam!

Rusty_Old_F250 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks, yeah it's unique for sure, it's been in the family for quite a while too. That truck has been up and down most of the logging roads in western washington state! The torch isn't nearly as close to the fire as it looks in the pic, but yeah it's not pretty when those go boom!

Sam Cutting torch gives you 100% chance to start a fire, I bet. Nice pic and yes, that truck has a lot of character. I'd guess you have some stories!

Fun fact: When cutting steel with a torch, the steel gets superheated and then oxidized, in other words it gets burnt! That tripped me out when i first learned that. There are stories about that truck for sure, it was grandfather's mountain beater for a lot of years . My favorite story is from one of the last times he used it, him and a buddy were way up on some lonely old logging road miles from anywhere, it got dark, they decided to just park and camp for the night. They rolled out their bivy sacks in front of the truck and fell asleep. One thing about old rigs is the electrical system can sometimes be a bit wacky, this rig especially... And at some wee hour of the morning the truck's horn randomly went off! Grandpa's first though was that they had parked on the RR tracks and were a bout to get run over by a train; needless to say both of them set records for the 3 yard bivy sack lunge! About 7 years ago when I started reviving the truck I also experienced the random honking horn, I hit a speed bump and that triggered it. The culprit all along was the horn relay, I replaced it but I've still got the original one hanging around here somewhere as a momento. @cekivi Where do you ice fish? Looks like a nice spot Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @Rusty_Old_F250: It's a stocked lake (speckle trout) about a 30 minute walk from my childhood house. The weather was too poor this year for me to actually go out fishing this year when I went home for Christmas. I think that's the first time I've missed a winter fishing trip in a good 4-5 years It's not a very big lake but it's deep with clear water. Well, clear-ish. The water's yellow from iron leaching in from the rocks. There's actually the remnants of a dam on the lake from when the region was clear cut as part of the pre-mechanized logging boom in the area.

Rusty_Old_F250 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Very nice! I've thought about getting a metal detector, but I've got enough to keep me busy at the moment. What kind of coins are those? Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
