Are there water/elec/sewer hookups for trailers there? If so I may bring a trailer and stay longer this time...

I believe there are full hook ups at the fairgrounds. I took my trailer, but I just had electric. They did provide water to fill my fresh water tank so we could use the bathroom. I was good with only electric. The full hook ups are farther away from our location (the other side of the fairgrounds) if that is what you want. There are showers on site also. There are RV parks in Ft. Scott also with full amenities.

I'd have to see what the park layout is and go from there. As long as there was somewhere to dump (if I didn't have live connection) I'd be good. Electricity and water would be the big things... I'm getting spoiled in my young old age - I still like roughing it, but when there are other things going on (lake trips, saws, etc) a few amenities and HVAC are VERY welcome perks worth spending a few $$$ on.

Oh, I'll participate.. I could even furnish a whole team..
Dibz on Levi and future son in law!!

I will supply a good axe. I will look into a decent crosscut also. You need to build a stand to hold the wood posts for the axe chop. They need to be very heavy to be stable. I think the bases were 2" thick steel plate, 3' by 3'. You also need to provide the poles, preferably soft wood, 6" diameter. We could probably use cants.

What is this about "future son-in-law"?

 

[Locust Cutter]

I would love to learn how to do the standing chop...

Also waiting for more info on the future S.I.L...

 

[Hedgerow]

So have they set a date.

Yes!
September 30th I think.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Oh, I do have a 2-man cross-cut saw (which I need to clean up and learn how to set and sharpen teeth on)... Just sayin...

I've got an antique Buller saw set for crosscut saws. Does 3 different sizes of teeth.

Good Morning friends. Took today off. Going to cut up and load a hackberry today as soon as my tree service gets it on the ground. The had all the limbs off yesterday and I helped them haul it off.

Morning everybody! Gonna eventually get around and start doing something productive. Just getting through the first cup of coffee. I got a pump running last night I need to test out. It has a 2" inlet, so I gotta find hoses to fit that. I got the ported 026 back together. I robbed parts off it to fix my dad's saw. I might even get a chance to look through a box-o0361 parts to see if I can put one together. Always a project that needs attention.

Hey fellas, did 2 husky 41's yesterday, carb USC, kits, new duel lines and filters... Today I'm running heat to the shop or trying to get more ... I'm robbing a Lil from the house in attempts to keep it above freezing in there. In theory it'll work...

Afternoon folks. Stopped by a local pawn shop and snagged a dirty, but good running MS260 Pro today for $130. Like I needed another 50cc Stihl.

Might just clean it up and throw it on CL and see if I can sell it for $200

250, U R too cheap!

Any of you interested in Pioneer P-41 w/24"? It has a NOS bar on him.

Grabbed one of these while I was in town today also. A little pricey, but not as pricey as the Timberline, and that thing is starting to get on my nerves. Only thing is, apparently you have to buy two tools. One for 3/8, and one for .325
