Alright so anyways. everyone who knows me knows I love my bazookas. I've got a grizzly 3 for some areas but if I could I run the bazooka hands down end of story. so here's my problem. my wife has been looking at different types of equipment. I showed her the new cleaning system where getting. it's the kryorsos Vortex sluice. I'm having the guys set me up with a kit that I put together. but anyway she seen this and the 2 bucket method we use to clean up cons quick and easy that way we get everything done pretty much right there then bring home a cup instead of a bucket. So she's been looking around at all the different vortex system. there's no way in hell would I open up to a goldwell system. I'm not carryin 80 pounds up the hill. and nor am I paying 500 for just the sluice. that not included with everything needed to run it like the stand, waterfall box and so on to make it a highbanker. then they want 80 bucks for there flair to make it a river sluice especially when it'll cost me 10 bucks max to get a piece of scrap aluminum and builed it myself. the highbanker kit is like 800. now that's there smallest 1. just the flair i could by a hole sluice for that. so anyways she didn't like that idea so I'm good there, but she is convinced that the sidewinder is the way to go for the Micron gold. now I'm all about keeping her happy and all. she just wants the mini backpacker. the sluice and vortex system seam to be pretty good and it looks like it could stand the test of time. so I'm thinking about just buying the mini backpacker for her. but then theres the fact that it's 200 bucks. Now normally I'm all for good equipment. but there isn't enough reviews on that sluice to at least In my eyes to condone thar type of cost.
So I'm coming here to find out what yalls opinion is. if there's anyone who has 1 I'd love to here from you on what you think and so on.
the grizzly 3 was just a matter of versatility and the problem where having in some areas. and it has reviews. people who have used them like them so. it wasn't a problem.
and the sidewinder I'm willing to help her with ya know what ever keeps her interested and happy but I need to know if it's going to be an investment that works. I'd hate for her to get it and get upset because she can't get what she's after.
and trust me she can set up my keene a51 better than I can. she's just got more patients then me so that's no problem. and it's got me curious now to so I wanna know I can she a few applications that it could come in handy. but then again I could use the grizzly 3 for those areas 2.
