OK !.....
might even show up early to save some spots.
P.S. last years phrase to remember' "Just let me put some duct tape on it Dad! "

 

[PlethoraOfGuns]

I'll be up there Fri-Sun if I get my Gear Vendors Overdrive in and done by then.

I had one of those set up at Rausch Creek in fall 2010. It was HEAVY, and required more than one person to set up without messing up your back. Just warning you.

 

[olbucksnort]

oh no. USGI MFG's said two people in twenty minutes could assemble .
I'll save my best Cigars for anyone that helps me .

If it's a rainy weekend, I'll be sure I'm the first person in line to help you set it up. Haha, but in all seriousness I'm sure at least 10 of us would spend the 2 hours help setting it up.

 

[olbucksnort]

Haa! If it don't work out , We'll turn it into a big Slip'n' slide for the Kid's
Gettin' hyped for this Rally ; I'm bring Sgt. Fischbach aka "Randy"

One person can easily set one of these up. I have done it many of times at the range and on hunting trips. It is easier with two people and the first time putting it together it may take you 30 - 40 minutes.

I hope this thing comes with a Instructional DVD.
It's got a Vehicle Boot Wall.

 

[olbucksnort]

Still STOKED, and trying to get it all together. Trying to get my spare tire ready ( a Rausch Creek Rule ) took everything I got just to load it on a utility trailer for local tractor shop to mount it on OD Iron Rim. Prayin' don't ever have to use it.
Carrying a big spare should smooth out a Bobber's ride plus give a little rear traction. ( In Theory ).

I hope that the boot wall is an extra item and not one that you are counting on to seal up the tent.

[olbucksnort]

I hope so too. If not Plan B : Pile rocks and Sandbags around it.

 

[PaFarmer]

Just over two weeks to go. Have a rock crawling competition this weekend at RC.

 

[olbucksnort]

[maddawg308]

Been a while since our fearless leader shenkmen has chimed into this thread, hope he's still planning on leading this motley crew!

 

[irishvin]

ok guys dosn't look like iam going to be making it this time around my M1009 is down engine needs repairs or something haven't had time to look at it. Anyway wish y'all a good trip ill see ya again in the spring hopefully

 

[olbucksnort]

Come on down and Camp anyway?

 

[PaFarmer]

Sorry to hear Irishvin.

I am planning on picking up a Willys MB tonight. If we are running green trails, I'll bring it towed behind my 931A1.

I am interested to hear what people want to run, all greens, some blues, two groups (though the attendance seems a bit low). Last summer we ran one blue and some folks liked it and some hated it.

 

[tim410]

I would like to stick with only greens. Maybe a blue or two to get to the mud but it was a pita literally on them rocky trails in 5 ton.
