My fridge is similar to the one 356 has. I put a kwh meter on it for a few weekend visits and max it pulls is around 1.5 in a day and that's when opening and closing regularly so I assume it's less when nobody is there. The fridge is plenty big for food for a large group for a multiple day stay...

I just installed 16 100W panels, 9 116ah deep cycle batteries, 3 charge controllers and a 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter at my hunting cabin. Did a ton of YouTube and internet research and it's working great to power internet, security, weather station, refrigerator and maple syrup pump (on a...

I have a pair. They are pretty nice for how compact they are. I'd say they are good/ok in low light but low light is the situation where I notice the biggest difference to my swarovski (which are obviously bigger and quite a bit more costly). I got mine on sale a couple years ago so the price /...

Oh yeah I see that now. We do a family cider day each year so lots of free labor around to crank. I think we did around 40 to 50 gallons this year in a couple hours at a very casual pace. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I have zero prior grafting experience. Mice fully girdled a dozen of mine last winter. I bridge grafted (thanks Google and this forum) all of them then covered the whole exposed area in wound compound. 10 of them seem totally fine. Two didn't make it. Took very little time so might be worth a...

On the pallets and scent issue though wouldn't you expect they adjust after a period? Even if its months I'd think that's ok given our ML season ends Sunday so no pressure for a long time to come after that. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Hahaha. Very true and good advice. All the aerial stuff online right now is from summer but I'll keep an eye for updated images and see what I can learn when I post the perimeter this weekend. Thanks for the input! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input. I will walk the property again this weekend and see what trails look like (it wasn't frozen last time so didn't get much into the swamp) but it seemed walkable in knee boots probably. Seemed like there might be a good place for a small foodplot in the woods so maybe a stand...

Just bought 26 acres that's up an easement road from my existing 40 acres. Goal is to add a stand or two (planning for when the kids are old enough to hunt). The piece is long and narrow, almost 15 acres of it is cattail swamp. However, there is a hardwood (maple, oak) island that is about 3...

Menards in Maple Grove MN still had a sign up and one on display yesterday in case anyone is looking. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Elk River mn. There were two more as of last night after I bought mine. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Yes it was before. Price dropped $100 each in my cart when I enteres my store number. Total out the door was 1068 before either rebate and after tax. I was on the fence actually but couldn't resist when the base price changed to 'sale price'. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I ordered two of the menards 5 panel. Local store had 4 in stock and they rang up $499 before 11% and $100 each rebates. Seems like a good price even if they need some tweaks. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I could use a speaker like that for my skidsteer. Did you wire it into the tractor electrical or use a separate battery to power the add-ons.

Since the 40 I bought is loaded with sugar maples we tapped some this year. We have 46 taps in now on buckets. Cooked today and made 48 8.75 oz bottles on finished syrup on a big homemade evaporator i found on CL for $300. Good excuse to be in the woods if nothing else...

One thing that made my experience positive was that the forester was upfront about what to expect and the goal for the day. At the truck before we started walking he said he viewed his job as our personal naturalist for the day and he lived up to that with lots of interesting info about the...

Forgot to ask; sugar maple is the predominant species, moat in the 70-80 year old range (big trees) is there any deer value to these? I may need to get some syrup taps.

Forester visit today was very informative. He helped identify some trees I never would have (hickory, yellow birch, butternut). Also helped understand the current condition of the woods and where it is lifecyclewise. He also explained log grading at a high level by showing examples and we...

My site visit is scheduled for Friday am (should be nice and frigid) so I'll share my first impression after that. The MN cost share application process for the plan cost was super easy.
