Hey Donkey, look at this over here, they look like ear rings but with numbers on them. Could we try to pin them on the Donkey. Ha


Come look at this Cow, looks like a smaller version of a North Korea missile. Sure would hate to get on of these in the eye.

Clean the caps and let bearings air-out for storage. Long live the tracks.


Getting welder buddy too make me some new torque rods for rear tracks.




1:15 too switch tracks too tires in over all time.
Nice too have it too a science for the fall.

Changed out diff oils and added some of this sticky dead skunk oil too make my Onda faster
Ha. "NOT."

I know that S&M is a family oriented forum, but it is my duty too let others know that real world oil additives smell like dead raccoon azz holes. Too Funny as this stuff inpregnaits into the iron poors like a Teflon. If it doesn't work for this, then just having one jug of this in the shed will keep mice and everything a long ways from being around this stuff.


She an eye opener in a closed environment. Ha.
If you Spill it on your self, then don't even think about going home until you spend time at a car wash.

Had time today to play with the new bow.

33 years of compound bow too find out that Recurve will do the same thing. Ha.
New beast at learning the corks of this unit.


Total fun as it will be fun to target practic and fill some time at camp.
Beer can blaster unit, only down fall is that I'm a square head that packed that hobby in 13 years ago. LOL.


2.5 power optics lens for now. Options of power lens from 2 too 9 power. 4 and up is good for 60 yard and beyond.


Folks that know me know that I change things around too fit my needs, so the bow riser was a 5 1/4" opening from shelf too top arch curve.

So I had bestest friend open it up too 5 3/4" that allows the full view of scoop too be viewed around the whole sight.


I will share this idea with those that "might" or have thought about adding value too OHV rides.

Archery can be another pass time if one chooses, if this is the case, then $100 for a Recurve Bow,,, $80 for pack of quality arrows.

Even I will not cheap out on arrows as they are very important. Ha. I'm not a traditional archer, so having old school meet new school is my avenue too good shot placement.

The best YouTube video that I follow it "The Push."

His first main video "With is Traditional Archery" is 2 hours,,, his new video called Iron Man is close to this.
He competes against the world's best free hand archers in the 3D world.

These dudes shot by instincts only as the years behind the stick has trained them well.

Glad to share on stuff too complement our buggys of more fun along the way.

Bow is a PSE Razorback Heritage 35lbs at 28" draw. Add leather pads behind limbs bumps it too 42lbs... Custom limbs can be ordered for $80 a set.
From 20 too 60 lbs.

Start with a bow one can pull back at 2/3 on easy side.
Once a 1000 arrows are cycled, then the next 10 too 20.000 will be a Breeze.

Then jump too heavy limbs 5 lbs above that with leather shiming for another 5 lbs.
One set of limbs can allow for 10 lbs total poundage if one chooses.

Lem at trying different ways too spend more time lost.

How too fit 1 human, 2 critters like Kow & Donkey into the cab of a Ford 1/2 ton with 2 wdr for covering ground.


First and foremost is that the person is "wize" too choose "less is more." freed up room is important as it allows access to every thing we do threw out the day, week or months depending on distance, and aloted days lost.
Having the sleepy sleep shack ready to rock at all times is a must.


Along with things too do when we arrive at staging area.



Cabins on wheels are everywhere in the Americas, none more so than in the USA.
Colorado is the capital per capita then many places in the States, but 39 USA states offer living on cabin wheels like no other.

Reasons for this is temperatures and weather.

I've received a few inquest on how this living on the road came too be, so I'm thinking its time I share in the story that got me att'er when I first read a story about the fellow that toured all of Australia by used 1929 Ford 1 ton with wood grain box, tarp canvas tarp for a roof and a barrel of gas and 1 with water.

At times we think we have it ruff, but in the days that follow we will read the posts about hard ships like no other as I share in this story and parts of history from Canada's own tail of "Windy Bones."

Of course I'll need too organize my Cabin on Wheels too make more room in my office as it gets under way.

I'll leave this idea for you folks too ponder the idea of "Less is More," for the day.

Then I'll try my best tonight too fill in how this is working for me, the hard ships, the pluses, and the true benefits of this plan of short and long term.

Don't get me right nor wrong as its a life changer for us American folk too do as we come from life styles of too much at times.

So it's not for everyone. Lots of pros and cons go with each package in lifes adventures.

More too follow.

Lem that's off too a thing called work / a way too have fun with other humans on a blue planet that's shaped like an egg.

Yuppers, just organizing my Cabin on Wheels.


The fold away bow has a place too after I get it sighted in.

A little bit of putting things away helps as a 6' X 5' cabin only has so much room.
Lucky for under sleeping storage and a tool box of farm yard animals. LOL.


1000 Watt gen-set and heater are always on board as they keep the cabin toasty warm and electricity for office computer in the living room / kitchen / dinning room.

Today I'm working up custom loads for my rifle in the living room. Ha.

Lots of room for many tasks on Snow in days, then later tonight I'll be watch the big screen TV from the front window as I idle down the old country roads.

The show tonight is endless fields of snow with trees soon too bud, lakes, rocks and trees are the norm shows I watch.
Hope too see a few Deer, coyotes, beavers geese some ducks and muskrats.

Domestic live stock, hills and other connector roads. I'm about day 50 of cabin use this year so far, hope too get it close to 200 by years end.
Most frugal living I've been able to do is Alberta trips, but its a must that the cabin makes it too BC for a few trips to.

Portable cabin is working out gooder as it always ends up some where no where.

Un charted adventurs like David Thompson.

Lem at sharing "Rolling Cabin Adventurs of hungry Bears and how too avoid being eaten. Ha
