    Electric Chain Saw

    I use this bag, which can be lashed inside to tied downs, to molle panels, our outside to my swing outs. I had him shorten it for the dewalt shorty saw, but now I see you can order in different bar lengths down to 14” On the short dewalt there is only one pouch - enough for a 1qt bar oil and...

    Electric Chain Saw

    I can’t say exactly. The last time I had a saw a pool of bar oil was after a pretty big cut, and I had refilled the reservoir pretty much full midway through the job. Now I keep a rag in the bag with the saw and I’m not seeing much. It might have been a one time deal. I’ll have to look at the...

    Electric Chain Saw

    This is what is use, but without their AC adapter. I just installed a Powerwerx USB-C source in place of one my standard USB outlets. The Powerwerx usb can charge up to like 50watts off of standard battery voltages, so it takes a little longer, but who cares? If I need faster, I do have a fancy...

    Electric Chain Saw

    I run the small dewalt, as it uses the Xr 20v batteries and I found an adapter that can charge them via USB-C sources up to 100w. So they charge from my solar or while driving. it’s one less thing to carry fuel and oil mix. Agree they leak bar oil, but I got a nice bag from the fellas in...

    Planning a Trans-Labrador trip

    I’m reasonably sure that the Zoleo cannot do anything beyond narrowband Short Burst Data (SBD) currently available on the iridium constellation. I just checked the Zoleo site and they don’t refer to using Iridium Certes network yet, which is more broadband and might allow map data downloads...

    Planning a Trans-Labrador trip

    The Zoleo and inReach both use Iridium short message burst and can only send pre-canned messaging or short adhoc messages. It’s not a broadband devices, so no map updates possible. To your questions: -Should you carry a zoleo or other message device with SOS. YES, absolutely. Not because it...

    12v portable jump starter issues?

    I got tired of messaging with charging and keeping these jump packs maintained. Went with a super capacitor jump pack, which I have reliably vampired juice from a dead 8 volt battery on my diesel tractor to jump start. Highly recommend… It also saved me when I left my land cruiser at the...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    That looks like a nice design. The one thing about the current version is how it packs down. If this one packs down even flatter I’d be all for it! Plus given all the folks just using it in the backyard for Takibi, that looks a whole lot sleeker! I would bet the production costs are lower as...

    Quality USB-C Panel Mount?

    Looks like 30w max, so probably enough to charge a laptop overnight, but not meaningful to charge while using. That’s assuming the laptop has a PD profile for 20W/12V-30W/24V, which it probably does. Maybe ok for an iPad. Anything capable of charging a laptop during use would have to be...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    As a product manager, this is even more infuriating… they don’t get revenue share in the secondary market, so should really have someone looking at that, along with counterfeiting and patent infringement issues. A simple walk around SPW and other events asking questions would get them a bit...

    Partner stove windscreen fix

    I’m not sure this is the case. I just recently received a new partner stove and it had what look to be a very similar setup to what has been outlined here. Granted, I I bought it from someone on expo who never used it and claimed it was brand new in box (the condition backs that up) - so maybe...
