Indy4x4fab: HAve you got any extra of the 55 gallon barrels?....I would be interested in one

212sparky: I have one of the 300gpm 12volt water pumps I am bringing with me just in case(from harbor freight) just in case the money is a little tight...I don't mind sharing.

Gimpy: Do you need anymore of the propane cylinders for that thing? I have 2 I think....nothing to use them in....willing to donate to the cause. I will also have an extra grill size propane tank I will be bringing with in case(not sure if I will even need it) if you have an adapter to plug that thing into it.

How many do you want? I have five right now.

 

[eagle4g63]

2 would be lovely, if you have room for them.

Yep not a problem there's a ten dollar delivery fee tho, just joking. I'll have room.

 

[eagle4g63]

To all Haspin attendees: I mentioned this before but here it is again;
Would it be useful, helpful or fun if most of or all of us had FRS or GMRS cheapy radios with us to stay in touch and possibly alert the camp when Gimp flips over??? Maybe its silly, but often the trailrides get split up and I think it'd be nice to know where the action is! Anyone have any input?
Might be hard to hear the radio as I'm driving but certainly while idling I could hear it.
Picture those night rides and we stop and don't know whats going on ahead.....then over the radio comes......
"Gimps found the bottom of a big mudhole!"

If you think its a good idea and will bring one, put a thanks on this post and we'll see what happens.........

 

[eagle4g63]

augiedoggy: what is a FRS or GMRS radio? I have a couple of Motorola talkabouts, 3 of them and was planning on bringing them if that is what you are talking about.

Yep, thats the ones Eagle. FRS stands for family radio service, apparently,
and GMRS is general mobile radio service (thanks google).
the gmrs having more security options and power.
I see these radios all the time with claims of up to 30 mile range....bla-bla.....

 

[gimpyrobb]

Eagle, the propanr would be most welcome.

Dan, I should have a set of those radios with me.

 

[212sparky]

Am going to buy a set. What brand do you all have? Will the different brands talk to eachother?

 

[eagle4g63]

All three of mine are Motorola. 2 of them are a pair that use a recharge base and the 3rd one is a Camo hunting one that takes batteries and they work together, if that helps you at all.

Haven't tried the 30 mile stuff yet, but they do have multiple channels.

 

[Stretch44875]

The different radios work together, one is a shorter range band, the longer range band radios have more channels.

I've used them in years past, just seems like nobody can hear over the trucks, and nobody keeps it on nearby.

 

[indy4x4fab]

Yes, If you get the standard UHF style They are about 20 to 150 dollars for a pair.

Augiedoggy, is the the style of two way radio you are talking about?

[gimpyrobb]

I'd look for a set that has the capabilty to run regular batterys(AA) in addition to whatever rechargable battery it comes with as you will never have it charged when needed.

 

[indy4x4fab]

Just so everyone knows I'll be bringing a small chain saw with me. An Echo CS-300 Chainsaw, something small enough to keep in the truck boxes. For those trees that like to brake deuce steering boxes when you try to go over them.
