    Glad the splitter didn't get a quick wash in the process.

    I haul it in the truck ( towing the boat)
    The launch the boat, back to a bank to
    off load from truck. Load on boat at dock.
    ...
    If it was easy, everyone would do it.
    ...
    It’s back in storage till Oct
    ..
    Camp in the trees, spruce throws sparks .
    Burning birch, no sparks , (Safer) & hotter for cooking,
    ...
    ++ (A BIGGY) hot enough, it melts the beer cans :pete: :yes:

    Nice Dave. Probably more interesting is loading the atv!

    That is a beautiful looking camp too. I'm drooling.

    Yea
    Loading 500lb on/off the pick up is
    a little tough with the tongue weight.
    Sometimes I have help, makes it a lot easier.
    ....
    At least the ATV has a motor :)
