I'm glad you guys knew it was a porky, I've never seen nor had Porky damage in my woods. My dad told me they used to eat the natural rubber tires on the trucks back in the thirties.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
At one research site we had (25 yrs ago now) the damage to equipment was so bad we started taking any piece of rubber/tubing/plastic we had in the lab and soaking it in a brine solution and putting in a pile it 50 ft away from our stuff just to keep them occupied. They'd chew it all up into little tiny pieces and we'd replace it with new every couple of weeks. At least it kept them from destroying thousands of $ worth of scientific equipment for a few months.Originally Posted by maple flats
I've heard of them chewing up the rubber hose connecting metal brake lines to wheel calipers in the past. Leave your truck in the woods for a few days and return to have your tires, brake lines...whatever they could gnaw on all gone.
