The only prerequisite to being a "fellow tractor owner" is the ability to pay for one. It has nothing to do with a person's competence or knowledge of gun safety or ballistics. Good to know that you aren't shooting up in the air. As someone who took down hazardous trees for a living for a couple decades, I can't imagine any scenario where shooting at the base of a hung up tree or branch would make sense, unless the intent is purely recreational (which is a fine reason).Interesting that you, Blue Knife would think that a fellow tractor owner who you don't know would shoot at the tree up in the air. We always aim level or down at the base from a direction that gives us a good backstop. The Mauser will penetrate about 14" of oak with surplus ammo A MN maybe 12'.
Not going to stand under a tree that is intertwined with another and broken at the base. and hope that I can predict which way it will fall or jackknife.
I use 90+ lb test fishing line, doesn't drag the arrow down as much.Use a bow and arrow. Tie a small long rope to the arrow, get it over the branch, and then pull a larger rope as required to attach a larger rope.
Start a fire with dry wood, then put the wet wood on it once it's burning well and has a good bed of coals.I'm doing something wrong, but so is everyone else. Cause they can't get anything started either.
Experiment 64: Homemade Napalm with Household MaterialsI've heard of folks using a shop vac, reversed to blow, to help start. I should try that. Right now, I just want a napalm flame thrower.![]()
