Thanks Pat,

Well this past friday 4-30 at about 7pm an atv and dirt biker tore down all my five strand run barbed wire fence, about 1/4 mile of it. They broke my posts, dragged my spaggetti mess...

Hey Rozett,
Where did you come up with the felony charge for removing posted signs in Maine? The warden tells me it's only a class d misdemeanor.

Hey Missourihick,
Nice ideas! Problem is I would need lots of 2x's.
Last week I approached the very man who sold us the land and he basically threatened that we would always have problems on the...

Hey Gatorboy,

NICE- VERY NICE!!

We are surrounded by millions of acres of trees and wilderness.

Ok DocHeb,

Maybe I wasn't specific enough in the first post.

I already own this land. Where there is a potential access point I do NOT have just one strand. I was once an ATV'r & Snowmobiler,...

opps, sorry Gatorboy, "...you're thinking of doing that..."
Well, nice land anyway.
1,200 feet sounds like my frontage, the rest is a killer though.
Ideas welcomed.

Thanks Gatorboy, It's nice to see someone who understands. Hey is that your land-nice-real nice.
Well, here goes, went up to the mountain today, had a five run barbed wire fence downed by a moose. ...

Though I don't find your comments humorous, Docheb, for the record I TOOK DOWN any barbed wire that was across MY PRIVATE ROADS however, that did not stop rude, disrespectful, trespassers from riding...

Hey all,
spring is here, I think /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif
I'm looking for ideas on fencing our mucho acreage with the following objectives;
1) in the easy access areas, keep out and deter...

This may be odd, but can you electrify a run of field fence instead of say running two strands of electric fence wire?

I have the field fence up already, just wondering if it is possible or not...

Hey Pat,
Did you think I blew myself up? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
Thanks, sorry my computer went AWOL on me /forums/images/icons/mad.gif , was ready to shoot the stupid thing. I am going to...

Thanks Pat,
I most certainly DO NOT want to cut corners when/if installing and handling gas and diesel, which is why I am asking about the specifics.
When going to the gas station for the truck I...

NO- THEY'RE ALL A BUNCH OF PANSIES!!
To quote them,"...we're not going travel all the way back there in the woods on a dirt road..."
Actually, I prefer it that way!!!
I don't want some stupid...

Oh, does the STABIL apply to diesel fuel also?

Ok, Pat
Let me try to see if I understand.
The 275 gallons of gas - bad idea! Why then do I see all these farmers with fuel tanks for all their equipment? They have 500 gallon tanks and right now...

Thanks everyone,
We are way too far into the woods to "run for gas, diesel, etc" everytime we need it which is why I want to "store, get a supply of my own, etc". We use regular gas for the...

Thanks Bird,
Say is there much loss from "evaporation" of the fuel?
Sometimes, I'd swear that I had more fuel in the 5 gallon containers [little red ones] than what I end up "feeling". You know...

Thanks Bird, egon, & RobS
Sounds like way too much work & $$. We already use diesel for the machinary.
Ok here's another question.
I want to use a nice new 55 gallon drum for holding & storing...

Hey all,
I've got a dumb question.
Can you take a gasoline engine and convert it to use diesel?
Is it a lot of work?

I have an old yet reliable gasoline...

Heck yeah, that part is going to be handled by machinery.

Thanks for the technical aspect, DUMBDOG. I thought that maybe someone out there was ALREADY growing for their own family's consumption and could share their real life experience. As mentioned in...

My wife and I are trying to get info on growing our own wheat, buckwheat, and oats for our own family consumption and storage.
Does anyone out there grow their own?
We are interested in knowing...

Hey SLObuds,
All is not lost. If it "appears" that there is some sort of "space" between the inside ceiling and the roofing material, shingle, metal,etc, then I would try to see how much space...

Hey SLObuds,
A lot of indiviuals "touched" on your solution. VENTILATION!
As crasy as it may sound check to see how your ventilation of your "attic" is. Assuming you have some form of attic in...
