    It’s handled blowing up all 4 tires from 10 psi to 35 psi after a day of off-roading. I have considered getting a small hand held that uses the same battery as my impact wrench as a back up. 
     

    Yes, pretty desolate out there without many trees. I can’t imagine how much dirt/rocks you’d need to pile up to use for a winch. I have seen matt’s off road recovery us big rocks to tie off with various levels of success. They have moved around some big rocks they were using for anchors. Maybe some spikes you can hammer into the ground? 

    Huh, Learned something new today. 
    searched on google and sure enough “land anchors” are a thing

    Depending on what kind of ground you're on, I've seen guys use a spare tire as an anchor point. Dig a deep and narrow hole, run the recovery strap through the center of the wheel, then drop it vertically into the hole.

    Technology advances faster than I can follow, but an ultralight--gas, electric or otherwise--with a range of 1,300-1,500 km seems improbable.

    It really just needs to be a flying gas tank with a small incendiary  warhead and a radio controller. Probably a 2 cylinder or 3 cylinder rotax knockoff. Just do the math on fuel consumption and build accordingly. Shit, Google says a Cessna 172 has a range of around 1,000 Km

  3. "Brain worms? He been swimmin in the stock tanks? You know that happened to Jimmy and Darline's boy Maverick last summer. They had to take him to the big hospital over in Brownwood and he was innair for 3 weeks! He's fine now, except for a little twitch in his right eye. But that could be from when he hit that tree on his 3-wheeler."

    Maybe. But he can still get all the way fucked and stay fucked. That being said, I agree. I've long contended that fixing gerrmandering and our voting rules/laws will fix 75% of the problems in America, given enough time.

    This.

    At this point a vote for anyone but Joe Biden might as well be a vote for Trump. We gotta fix this femoral artery laceration before we worry about the broken leg. 

    (Yes, I know he's not running for President this year, but this applies to any of these third party fringe guys)

    TPWD and TCEQ need to look into drones or planes to check the water ways then fine the shit out of the offenders. Especially repeat offenders.

    Buy a few drones from Ukraine and solve the problem as soon as they find it.

    to me, a Zionist shouting kill jews is much more interesting.   

    If he's a Russian agent, then he's blood brothers with Trump, who I presume you support.  Hell the Republicans love Russia too. Hmm...

    Even if he's a Russian agent, he's right about Israel.  I only watch his videos about Israel/Palestine, not really concerned about other issues. This thread isn't about Russia or China btw.

    Your avatar reflects you very well.

    What would it take for Prime to appeal to an NFL owner? Suppose - magic, I know, but just suppose - he could pick up those couple of games that last year they should have won but didn't, to go with the couple they shouldn't have won but did. So they get to 7-5 or so (magically, right?). Would that be enough for some moron NFL to put him on that next level?

    I really, really doubt it - just like most surly folk, but if it happened, who'd be dumb enough to take a shit -- oooh, froodean, I mean a shot -- at him? Is there an owner that dumb?

    Respek to that dude for at least thinking like ole Brisket here.  While they aren't perfect, a good full choked 870 throwing 4 to 6 shot will get the job done.  Those small drones are getting close, as in "in range."  They are relatively fragile, a pellet or two will disable them.  I'm curious if the shotgun defense approach has been used already, and what its success/failure rate looks like.
