You can wire tie the coupling together. After you put the hose clamps on both sides of the fitting you can then wrap wire on the back side of the hose clamp and across the coupling to the back side of the other clamp. That way it will be a stronger hold on the connection.

KenW believe it or not but there is 2 suspension bridges at the bottom!! They are with in 1/2 mile of Phantom Ranch.
I am worried also about the temps. When I was out there on the 29th of April they got frost! I just checked and they are saying that on Monday night the north im is to get down to 38 degrees!
Now once we get into the canyon the temps will be alot better, only to get down to the high 50's low 60's.
Why go in winter?? Well there would be alot less people!! Other than that I am not sure why anyone would go in the winter.
Worked up sugarwood yesterday-got 9 cords+ cut and stacked,,,worked till 9pm and got about 5 or so split,,was able to stick the splitter under the woodshed roof and split some of it right inside,,,way less handeling,,,,hope to spend most of today splitting,,,might just work on it monday too,,,nice to be moving in the right direction!!!!!
not much work on sugarin' stuff last few days... trying to get the other summer projects done that I put off during the summer to work on sugarin' stuff and wood.
Went out bow hunting this morning saw 3 squirrels, many birds, chipmunks, and a grey fox. and one of those huge wood peckers with the red head, not woody, can't remember the name!! but no deer, but it was nice to be in the tree and watch the sun come up though!!!:) nice chill to the air.
Heading up to northern vermont to visit my sister in a few weeks, about 35min past stow. The notch I hope its open this year it was already closed last year when we went up because of early snow!!!
I got the woodshed filled up yesterday. I also dug my potatoes and weeded the asparagus.
It is a nice time of the year to work. Not hot nor cold, no bugs to speak of and the ground is dry. I was able to load wood on my DR Powerwagon and get it right up to the woodshed. Saved a lot of lugging!
I saw a few trees turning up at the woodlot.
Fall is coming, but it's a glorious late summer still.
Brad it is the Pileated woodpecker. They cause alot of havoc. Been limiting out on squirells every time i go to my new sugarbush, I hope i am putting a dent in them. Might have to hire some mercenaries to take care of this problem.
Any of you guys get tired of cutting wood? I know I sure am. I got 8 in the sugarhouse and attached woodshed 9 in the basement for the house another 2 stacked outside the hatchway another 3 cut and split in the woods in a pile and I still need another 10 to be barely on the safe side for the winter. OLD it is getting OLD. Good news is grouse opens tomorrow the 20th and I taking my gsp and disapearing for the day just me the beretta and the dog, no tractor,chainsaw, axe or splitter tagging along. I am sure I will be looking at maples and thinking man I wish I could tap that one. Friday I leave for my annual black bear bowhunt and won't be back until late tuesday. And early season bow for whitetail opens the 27th so hope to capitalize on that while bear hunting as well. Hoping to tag out early this year cause it is gonna be a busy fall.
I don't have the wood in the woodshed yet but the pile in the field is looking pretty good. I have 14 cords cut split and stacked for the outdoor furnace and would like to think that I am close to the end of that project. I should be able to get another 3 cords out of the woods today to add to the 5 cords in the pile there. Then I'll start running it through the cordwood saw and filling the woodshed.
I want to have all of the wood done by the time that the leaves are off of the trees. Then I can start working on the tubing. It won't be long now. We got a good frost last night.
Got another 4 in the shed,,hope to stack it today,,,Gaining,,,,,

Where do you go bear hunting by the way and do you get many of them. I have a bear skin rug hanging around here some place.
