Solo Truck Camping in the Eerie Darkness and Mountain Fog, Perseid Meteor Shower Fail, ASMR
[Non-sponsored Video]
In this video, I drive to the top of a mountain at night to get a better view of the Perseid meteor shower. The forest was eerily dark and quiet. I encounter pitch-black darkness, rough and narrow roads, and heavy fog. I camped the night on the mountain and drove back the next day.

    I have a very similar GT52XLS I purchased in 2016. The fabricated deck is a plus, but other than that it is just a robust lawn mower. It will mow my pasture, but I often have to power the mower blade down and back up to get it to drop the built up grass out before it stalls out. I've also had to change out the battery 3 times despite keeping it on a trickle charger almost continuously after the first replacement

You should of mentioned when you grease the spindles, once you feel resistance on the grease gun, stop pumping in grease. hope this helps.

    mine died, 1-1/2 years old, Husqvarna and Briggs won't honor the warranty, YTH18542, the motor Governor threw a weight, caused motor to lock up, repair shop said it should be covered under warranty but Husqvarna said they don't cover the engine, so they passed the buck to Briggs and Stratton who said they will not warranty the engine, they said it was not Maintained properly and over heated, I'm a retired HVAC service technician, everything I own gets maintained meticulously, after 3-1/2 months and no warranty repairs at the authorized repair shop(I'm a very patient person), I decided to get my mower back and fix it myself, the shop didn't charge me and apologized for the ordeal, so I ordered the parts needed from Amazon for $70.00, waiting for the parts to arrive, in the mean time I filed a Complaint against Husqvarna with the consumer affairs division of the Attorney General of Texas, best I can say is Don't buy a Husqvarna and if you do don't bother with Warranty repairs, I will never buy a Husqvarna product ever again, to bad Honda is no longer making Lawn equipment, btw the repair shop I dealt with is going to drop Husqvarna, that tells me a lot right there.

      In situations where precision is necessary, moving the camper is easier and quicker than moving the truck. Caster wheels can move in multiple axis; the truck can not. Also, there is nothing here that would exclude a heavier camper except one would need to use caster wheels with a slightly higher rating than the ones I used (the wheels I used are good for up to 4800 lbs.).

      This symptom is common if the motor controller detects current or temperature outside of expected limits. I would first make sure the chain isn't stuck and that you can move it by hand. If the saw or battery have gotten hot, let them cool off. Also, try cleaning the contacts between the battery and chainsaw. Dirty contacts will increase electrical resistance, leading the controller to assume you have a dead battery and shut off the motor. If it's not one of these things, you likely have a bad battery or controller.

    Hello, I’m 18 and have a little mole catching business… I use a combination of trapline and wiretek traps. Lately it’s been taking me a lot longer than usual to get catches. Lots of moles are getting under the wiretek without setting it off. A customer recently gave me some cinch traps for free and I’ve gotten one catch in probably about 9 sets. I’m in Texas so the soil is different from house to house. I’d love to hear your take on

    • @outdoorsinoregon
      @outdoorsinoregon Месяц назад

      If they're getting under the wiretek trap, it could be either it's not being set deep enough into the tunnel or the trap is too difficult to trigger and the moles find it easier to just dig deeper instead of pushing up completely to trigger the trap. The triggers are hard to set off on these and can become sticky with dirt and rust, so these traps have to be kept clean and lubricated before each use. It might even need to be sanded or filed down a bit to keep the trigger components working smoothly. My best advice to improve the catch rate with the cinch traps is to make sure you're setting them as deeply as possible into the tunnel and ensure the tunnel section is reasonably straight. If there is a sharp turn near the trigger, the moles often dig around the trigger instead of trying to push it out to trigger the trap. Also, realize nothing is going to work 100% of the time; some moles seem to have a knack for evading the traps more than others. This will be difficult for customers to understand, but it's how it is. Hope this helps.

      Indeed. This mower came with a light duty CVT transmission with a plastic case. I never had issues with mine, but I came to the conclusion that I really needed a heavy duty unit for my property. Unlike a hydro, the CVT also required shifting from forward to reverse with a lever, and the operation at low speed was really jittery. I like my hydrostatic transmission much, much better.

There's an aftermarket company that makes a one-piece solution that is supposedly completely sealed and waterproof, but it would require replacing the entire assembly, sealing existing holes, and drilling new holes. And some people have seen early failures on these as well. My best advice would be to store the camper under cover if possible and routinely check the lift arms and gearboxes for lubrication.

    This worked great! I added these needle roller bearings and combined it with a steering wheel knob. Steering is much easier and I really notice a significant difference.

    They all have produced good saws and some not so great. I grew up running sthill, husky and the occasional dinosaur homelite / mac. I generally reached for the sthil due to it just always starting. Huskys were a little tempermental in my humble opinion but worth the effort if you were cutting up a sizable trunk as you could dig the felling dogs in and just lever through because they generally had more torque. A friend of mine recently bought a weekender husky from one of the box stores. Ran well enough but one bar nut?! I know its a consumer grade but damn. I'm really just kinda disheartened to see so many brands absorbed by husky. I.e. zenoha/redmax, jonesreed. I kike choices and they are beconing less and less. That said i took a chance on a echo cs-490 open box on ebay a few years back for $200. I wish i bought all they had at that price because i would likely never need another saw. I have many chords of wood through the echo and recently bought a new bar. Thing starts without fail every time. The power to weight is perfect with muffler mod. I can run it all day unlike the cs-590 or other larger saws. Truth be told the 20" bar is pushing it a little bit for the displacement (especially as echo seems to tune for longevity rather than performance.) But better to have the 20 for utility . Next purchase will probably be echo / shindiawa 34cc 16" for limbing. I'm getting older amd while i can run the cs -490 all day a lighter limbing saw looks attractive sometimes. I mention shindiawa as they have some excellent deals right now and they are pretty much a carbon copy of an echo pr vice versa. Shindiawa 335s @ home depot right now to your door for 219 at home depot. Always wanted to give makita dolmar a shot but never had a shop that carried them anywhere near me. Having access to parts is kind of a deal breaker which sucks because i am sure they make a fine saw. Unless something changes or i encounter a deal too good to pass up... i don't think i will buy another stihl or husky.

    i have had mine for over 5 years,never had a issue with it i use it to tow my ski boat arounnd the rancch and my airplane in and out of my hanger. and it is a antique airplane big and heavy does the job just fine. did have to buy a used craftsman self propelled mower to get the edges of my lawn, but the husky works just fine, winter i attach the snowblower or the snowplow to it. but i did replace the rear tires with some heavy duty atv tires for more traction.

      Yeah, it didn't work for me. I also tried it on my mower, and it got stuck instantly. As with the tractor, the traction seemed to get worse after spraying. I'd like to do some more testing in different conditions to see if it ever improves traction, but I'll have to wait for colder weather.

    As 0f July 2024 you can still order 80 volt Kobalt Chainsaw through LOWES online. I'm even looking at replacing the 18" with the Oregon 20" bar and chain for my KOBALT 80 volt chainsaw. I have (2) Kobalt 80-volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and use (2) 5 AH Batteries. I’m 79 and love NO more having to pull a cord to start a gas-powered chainsaw. My first 80-volt 18" Bar Chain saw with a 5-AH Battery and charger was $400 in Jul 2021. - I use them on our Southeast LA farm of 18 acres of tall large pine trees that were devastated by a Hurricane and tornado. On 10 acres of the property, nearly all the trees are down or dead. My chainsaws have been working great and cutting huge logs and trees and logs up to 20"+ and it works great. I also use the 80-volt 10” Pole saw, lawnmower, and Leaf Blower.

      Yes, I definitely love the ability to just grab the saw and start cutting - no mixing gas, no pulling on the cord, no warm up cycle, no air filter, no fiddling with the carburetor, etc. The 80V is a strong saw and roughly equivalent to a 50cc gas saw. With a couple of batteries, a typical homeowner could quite easily replace their gas saw with one of these.

      I use this 80V saw quite a bit and was pleasantly surprised by the power and battery life with the larger 5AH battery. It doesn't work well for slabbing work, as the bars get warped or pinched and no one makes a heavy duty solid bar for it. However, it works great for general storm cleanup or firewood tasks. I've worked it hard, and the oiling gear is the only failure I've had (cheap & easy fix). I believe the batteries, motor controller, and motor on these are quite solid. I wish the parts availability was better, but considering that it has saved me a ton of time over maintaining a gas engine, I certainly don't regret buying it.

    Great video. You covered the differences very well and I'm sure it will help others choose the right saw for them. I prefer Stihl's pro saws hands down myself. The rim sprocket on the pro saw has the advantage of changing it out easy without replacing the whole clutch drum. Also you can change from a 6,7 or 8 tooth sprockets as long as you get the oiler worm gear that matches and to other chain pitch too. It is more versatile. The pro saws are meant to hold up longer through heavier use than the homeowner saws. All around better quality. The 261 has one of the best power to weight ratios too. Thanks for sharing your testing with us. 😎👍
