Nice! Camping at home sucks when it's cold. I may brave the idiots on the roads tomorrow and head to Albany, that is if there is a show.It just came back on around 645

Uh...what's your desert test????at least I know my Mosins and Garands will work in this weather
I once froze my Colt AR and a loaded magpul 30 rnd mag in our chest freezer at "0" deg for 24 hrs
it did light off all 30 rnds
don't live in a desert - don't plan to - no need to test my firearms in such a hellish landscapeUh...what's your desert test????
You definitely have gills behind your ears!don't live in a desert - don't plan to - no need to test my firearms in such a hellish landscape
worked in Tucson once
my eyes dried out in the dry wind at 10 O'clock at night - was still 110 deg, 10% humidity
don't plan to go back - don't know why humans want to live down there
just a web foot mossy back!!You definitely have gills behind your ears!
Just like me!just a web foot mossy back!!
Portland just makes my skin crawl....my colleague on the west side of the portland burbs has been without power for about 14 hours.
Don't count on lithium to save your hind end, different type but same tech here in this story. We had some friends over tonight and after dinner grabbed the new flamethrower to go melt some ice. The battery that was charged yesterday swelled up over night and wouldn't provide enough juice to pump the fuel. We were disappointed to say the least, now I have to figure out how to safely dispose of this future fire waiting to happen. What a bunch of BS these lithium batteries are.battery technology is another issue to consider in cold weather
look into lithium batteries for sever cold weather
hear on the North Fork, 16 deg is about the lowest we get, so i run AGM for my generator, RTV and tractor
I have a Harley-Davidson AGM battery in my Generator - if it will start a Harley in a Wisconsin winter, it works for me
Hope you can stay warm, we still have power but if it fails we have a pellet stove that I run on my suitcase generator with over two ton of pellets remaining. We also have a larger gen to run the well but it guzzles gas so it only runs when we need to poop.Lost power this morning when a branch took out the power line. There is 10x the ice on the trees now. I suspect we will be out for days because we are rural and near the end of repairs in storms like this. We have a generator to run lights and a wood stove for heat.
We have a wood stove. The hard of part of it is keeping the house from getting too hot. I am not set up to run the well. I have been to cheap to set up emergency power for it. We get water from the creek in buckets to fill the livestock troughs and flush the toilets.Hope you can stay warm, we still have power but if it fails we have a pellet stove that I run on my suitcase generator with over two ton of pellets remaining.

Those lithium batts can make a big mess and headache for the fire dept when they blow.Don't count on lithium to save your hind end, different type but same tech here in this story.
