Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

Take my trailer

Yeah, that too.

Suburban with 18' car hauler and steel deck. 2X12 side boards on the front. Gravel. Sand. Mulch. Black dirt. Firewood. Lumber. Mattresses. Couches. 20' rebar. Anything that won't fit in the Suburban goes on the trailer. Anything I don't want inside the Suburban goes on the trailer, like hay bales. Man those are messy on the carpet.

Folded the middle seats down, slid the rear seat forward, slid the new water heater in the back of the Suburban, closed the doors and drove home in the rain. Picked it up for my mother in-law. Fun weekend project.

I have a 16ft dove tail. Sold the tractor and implements but kept the trailer. Trailer had a permanent tag so all it costs a year is the personal property tax of $16

I slide it into the Suburban all the way to the dash and close the doors behind it.

I put it up on my canoe racks and tie it down... or put the tailgate down. I just don't understand that "If it can't hold an 8 foot 2x4 it isn't a truck" logic. I can and have had (24) 8' 2x4s, 9 sheets of OSB, plus my saw table in the bed and there was still room in the cab for nails, the rest of my tools, along with a passenger and my dog. Plus a gas grill and tank in the back on top of the lumber. And it's just a small truck.

I used to haul 8ft drywall in/on my 82 Jeep Scrambler. (2 door CJ style pickup.) Put one side down in the bed at the tailgate, the other side up and over the roll bar. Tied them in, and tied the upper edges together. Off I went. No problems, but had lots of strange looks. Jon

That's why I drive a pickup. No gas or diesel cans stinking it up, no chainsaw leaking bar oil all over the seat. No muddy dog, he can ride in the back too until we get someplace he can go swimming. Then back into the bed he goes...

Years ago I drove around 150 miles of dirt roads in a Blazer with several boxes of tree marking paint rattling around all day. After a while that starts to get on your nerves.

Our county sheriff has a website where you can check the police reports and arrests in your area. I suspect most places have that available now.

Drugs are about everywhere. Unless its something major, it wouldn't even make the local news, and you'd never hear about it.

I wasn't referring to the drugs, we definitely have them here. A local police chief stated a few years ago that we have lost an entire generation.
It's the needles themselves which I'm not used to seeing like that, and it freaked me out a bit to see them just lying around.

Where my dog had been walking.

At little off top but the tree marking paint reminded me. My brother worked for a forestry company cruising timber. He had just gotten his first shiny new company pickup. His three or four year old found the pump sprayer of light blue tree paint and proceeded to paint that new truck. Guess he didn’t like tan.

I carry both items in my Colorado when I need to. What do you do when you need a 12 foot 2x6, rent a truck or go buy a bigger one?

Since a 12' item will only stick out 4' from the bed of my truck it's legal to flag it and haul it. If you are wondering what after that size.... I use a trailer.

Stick it in my 8' bed and hang a red flag on it. You can't do that in a short bed. Or really haul much of anything. Unfortunately, my old 89F150 died and there are no used "work" trucks out there in my price rang ($15,000). Had to buy a short bead and making do with it but it is a headache. I currently have a 6 cord order of firwood to deliver. That's going to take aa couple extra loads in addtion to the labor of having to stack every piece in order to get the maximum on each load. Loading now takes 2-3 hours vice the 1-2 it used to take.
