And im not one of them guys that rip up trails.
Unfortunately there is a segment of folks that enjoy seeing how much havoc their ATV/OHV can inflict. Much of this occurs outside of any hunting season. It’s not really a “hunting” issue.
Also would be a good thing not to have someone riding thru the area in which you are deer hunting at the time.

If it will stop or reduce the habitat destruction presently occurring, it should be an improvement. Also would be a good thing not to have someone riding thru the area in which you are deer hunting at the time.

The guy is wearing Red pajama bottoms with some sort of design on them.
I don’t think that is appropriate until one reaches my age of 73. On the other hand, I sometimes wear sweat pants to bed. How you going to know if I’m wearing my night time sweats or my daytime sweats? Just by the pattern on them? Is Snoopy daytime, nighttime or Cathemeral? 
What are you going to do when your reach into your pocket and grab a dim rechargeable headlamp? Its not like you can put in new AAA batteries and be on your way.
Common sense would dictate that one cannot use AAA batteries in a headlamp that uses rechargeable 18650 lithium batteries.
If your rechargeable lithium headlamp is dead or dim, simply put in a freshly charged 18650 battery.
I don’t see the difference between installing fresh AAA’s or installing a fresh 18650 lithium battery.
A 3 pack of AAA batteries will yield 850 to 1,200 milliamps.
A single 18650 battery at minimum, will yield 2850 milliamps. (more than double the 3 pack of AAA’s) Many 18650’s have an even larger capacity than 2850 milliamps..

I would absolutely hate to wear that giant thing on my head.
Until you do, and realize just what you were missing with other headlamps.
If one is looking for a lamp for “close work” this one may not be the lamp for you.
On the other hand if you want to be able to shine a beam and actually see the river bank 40 yards away, this lamp will do that. Turn the beam down to “flood” mode and you can work in and around the boat.
I would suspect this lamp might be quite useful in some situations, in your line of work. Just my experience from actual usage. 
I wish it was dimmable .
Center beam only is high beam spot
Twin outside beams are a less bright flood beam
third choice is all three on, combined spot and flood
I find the twin flood beams to be fine as long as you point them downward so its not shining in someone’s eyes. If I’m going to be with a partner, I sometimes switch to a totally different headlamp that offers a colored beam such as red.
I have been very satisfied with a headlamp that uses the 18650 rechargeable lithium batteries. Very bright when needed and very good run time on low beam (which is still a decent beam). Has held up to repeated abuse. I’ve owned several over the years and only had one fail prematurely. This is NOT a high dollar, ultra tough unit, yes it’s plastic, but for me has been a very good value for the money. I’m not too upset if I loose one into the depths of the duck marsh.
it’s not letting me post a link. search Amazon for DanForce-Headlamp-Rechargeable-Flashlight-HeadLamps
EDIT: The link Andy posted is the headlamp I use.
It’s a public agency that basically exists at this point for the rural and for the old,
Huh? The USPS delivers to downtown business’s, city dwellings and industrial plants. It also delivers to nursing homes as well as childcare facilities. I was unaware that the USPS used age as a factor, to provide or deny service.
Did your self sharpened blades cut ice?
Did you even bother to watch his video?
Got a name so I can tell him who will be calling? 
I already sent him a photo.
Nothing is wrong with the ones I have, I have 6 already but want 4 to 6 more. Hiliti wants 5500 a piece and I can’t believe they can’t be replicated for 1/3 of that. Hoping to drop the hilti stamp and save 3k a pop.
I have both aluminum and steel ones.
Having 4 to 6 made is much more cost effective than just replicating a single.
I’ll message you a name and a phone number. If he isn’t interested he may be able to steer you to another shop.
Any machine shops do custom builds like this.
The shop I retired from would be able to build for you. I don’t know off hand what shops in your area could do this. To do it right, the shop would need dimensioned drawings to build from. These drawings or CAD models, could be drawn up by the shop, if you furnished sample pieces which you wanted duplicated. This of course would add to your final cost.
I’ve opened many bank accounts with a SSN and never received or deposited a check from them

Reef… so you open several accounts for other people with their SSN
Reading comprehension!
Where does Reef say he opened these accounts for other folks? I myself have many bank accounts. Each account requires a SSN. I too have never received or deposited a check from them.(Social Security)
From what I seen… checks are being cashed… not direct deposits… actual checks.
Tell me you know nothing about SS without telling me you know nothing.
Social Security (SS) does not issue actual checks anymore; all payments are made via direct deposit to a bank account or through a Direct Express debit card, meaning it is essentially direct deposit only.
Key points about SS payments:
Federal mandate: Federal law requires all Social Security benefits to be paid electronically.
Reef… so you open several accounts for other people with their SSN… I pegged you to be smarter than what you just posted !! The moon is cheese !
That’s not what he wrote. Your reading comprehension is lacking.
You ever taken a personal call at work?
Only when I had to go to the office to take the call. My personal phone was always turned off. Worked most of my career without a cell phone.
Breaks were 10 minutes and yes, sometimes my machine was the only one running after that 10 minute period. Many times I was in the middle of something and missed break.
Got hurt at home once when I ran a power saw into my leg, down to the bone. Went into the emergency room on a Friday. Monday I could only work 4 hours before the pain became unbearable. Tuesday the same, Wednesday a bit more, etc.
Payday rolled around and I received a paycheck for a full week of work. Went to the office and explained that I had not worked a full week, was told to go see the owner. The owners told me I always gave 100%, even when recovering from my injury, so full pay was appropriate.
I stand by my earlier statements.
I think the younger generations are realizing that loyalty of a company to its employees is a thing of the past so what is the reason to give everything you have to a company that isn’t going to return that loyalty?
It’s not a matter of loyalty, from either party.
An employer has agreed to give you 100% of your agreed upon wage per hour. Don’t you think that should mean you give 100% of that hour to your employer? You don’t spend 30% on your phone, spend 70% working and expect a 100% wage. That’s NOT the agreement.
So many kids rush through the work so they can get back to playing on their phone “well I’m done with my work” and you look at the work they’ve done and it’s total garbage. That’s my biggest beef with the phones, no attention span and attention to detail on their learning.
I have been retired now since 2017 and yet this was prevalent in the workplace as well. The lack of an honest work ethic in younger coworkers, was a major factor in my decision to retire. The folks I am still in contact with, say the situation at work, has not become better.
@ CaptainMusky,
The thread topic is “Buddy Heater Pro Tip”.
I fish, I fish for free. When I’m not fishing I may be hunting, again for free. Occasionally I make things, knives, wooden bowls, table lamps, etc. to be given away to friends and family.
I also am a semi professional daytime napper.

Huh?
Buddy heaters yes (not the Dewalt), and some grills I suppose if its really old.

The Dewalt also have an electronic lighter. Just push the button to start.
I bet it has to do with voltage required. They would have had to reduce the voltage down from 20 volt to whatever 3 AAA batteries are which would be like 4.5 volts? Im sure its the same type of system like all grills have now.
The Buddy Heaters and the grills I have owned, all used a piezoelectric crystal to generate the spark. No other electric source needed.
A piezoelectric mechanism works by generating an electrical charge when mechanical stress is applied to a special type of material called a piezoelectric crystal, where the internal crystal structure shifts, causing positive and negative charges to separate and accumulate on opposite faces of the crystal, creating a voltage that can be harnessed as electrical energy; essentially, it converts mechanical force into electricity.
In other words, push the gas valve knob, in a downward direction, when in the “pilot” setting, = the gas flows and the spark is generated.
Another vote for the Big Dipper brand skimmer. Tough as nails.
Wow!
Hope I don’t encounter anything like this. Sad state of affairs. Always two sides to every story but the fella talking with the news crew seemed genuine.
Perhaps body cams will be the next, common fishing/ice fishing, accessory.
I bet they would take a 20# if the valve was removed or the tank had a hole drilled into it.
Who is going to drill a hole in a tank that does NOT have the valve already removed?
I use the Active Target system from Lowrance. Similar cone angles. I regularly fish a spot that is only 5.5 to 6 foot deep. I do not experience any issues with driving fish away from the sonar signal. I am able to watch and identify between Bluegills, Crappies or Northerns within the cone.
I also have a Marcum LX-6 to use. The LX-6 is faster to set up and easier to hole hop with. I can pick everything up (display unit and transducer head) in one hand and move.
The Active Target (with a 9 inch display) is more bulky and heavier. It takes two hands to move, the display unit in one hand and the tripod/pole/transducer head in the other hand.
I still choose the Active Target most often, simply because it gives me more information and I believe my catch ratio is better when using the Active Target.
YMMV
Folks that are saying 10 feet, need to re-read that regulation. The regulation only applies to a shelter. Nothing about the minimum distance between anglers.
