Ok so those of us in California and some of us in Alberta have been politically ostracized from our claims or it is just too cold to go in the water let alone walk outside and away from all that good wood fired heat. You did cut up several cords of log wood for the winter didn't you? We have taken to looking at coinhunting sites as so little is happening in the way of prospecting for gold. A few folks have had it with the dredging ban and are threatening a revolt but other than this not much is going on. So, what if you had just completed helping to build a High Tech Shooting Range in Park City Utah and had been gifted with a good quantity of ~1/8" outside diameter Aircraft Quality steel cable, what would "YOU" do with it? What project to put it towards? How would it be fashioned I mean, not just cable clamps, connectors what type and again what ideas do you have for its use??
I will lead out with these offerings:
1) Anti bear food bag cables. That is - hang a cable up high and use it to keep your food safe from bears and other unwanted guests in camp (pick your list of what you consider to be unwanted) For those of you who have never had a camp visited by bears, just consider yourselves lucky. Lost food, lost equipment (tents, sleeping bag, backpack nylon bag shreded), etc. It is Not Fun!
2) For long term camps - an overhead cable to help support sun shade tarps or even the tent
3) Snubbers to keep sluice boxes from going down river during high, fast water or just in general to keep them there
Come on, this should be a bit more entertaining than coinhunting sites, though I must admit some of the stuff that's come up lately is pretty cool. Share your thoughts!!
Another thing, Christmas is coming - it's actually the celebration of the birth of someone special. Share the best of yourself with others just because it feels good. Merry Christmas to all and lets make it a good New Year!!.........63bkpkr
What the coil of cable looks like:
And as a last note here's me just now getting ready to move to Santa Cruz
