    Can you ID these two wonderful individuals in 7E?

    Then this . . . You are really going to correct grammar? And since the tank is in 7e I would guess that it’s not near show low. Hopefully lee isn’t getting dragged into something he doesn’t have anything to do with.

    Yeah I was just talking about the stuff Dave posted. Wyoming is definitely trying to stop the “Finders Fee” element.

    Lighten up, this isn’t about you. I was questioning why anyone would pay for this stuff. You are not under “Attack”.

    I don’t read this as preventing someone for selling “spots” to hunt from. I read the intent as preventing someone from selling the location of a specific animal. in AZ these commissioner tag holders often pay several $ “finders fee” to someone who provides the location of a big buck or bull. I think you would be hard pressed to keep someone from selling starting points like you have posted. And to be honest, why anyone would be willing to pay for such info is beyond me. My worst hunting fear is ending up in a place that is posted online, so why the heck would I pay for that experience.

    Easy Meals while camping?

    I like to pre-make taco mix and spaghetti. Then I just have to heat it up when I get into camp. I usually make a big batch and eat it every night until it’s gone. For breakfast, pre-make burritos and freeze them. I also boil a dozen eggs to take as a high protein breakfast or snack. Fill the pack with cliff bars for lunch.

    is this considered Flying and unable to hunt same day?

    Good contribution, thanks for sharing.

    Yes. It’s do-able, as long as there is enough good strategy got pipe to make your connections to. In the video the vertical length of pipe is rigid pipe and perfectly straight. In AZ that riser is often lower to the ground and rolled copper. Give it a go and let us know how it turns out.

    Yeah whatever. Here is a little life advice, bring more than you take away. Bye Felicia.

    Be dang careful turning it off in the mean time, it likely to shear off in the closed position and then you are stuck repacking it right then. Gate valves are famous for this. Also the dual slip joint method is nice when it fits, however because of the elongated shape of rolled copper it often is not feasible for AZ applications.

    Dude do you ever contribute anything other than ideas for new crap to ban? How about posting up a pic of a deer you killed or a fish you caught or a kid you helped or a favorite hunting camp. Drones are lame but so is your constant bitching.

    I have done dozens of these, never a fun chore and there is no easy way to go about it. 1. Remove all paint and expose bare copper. 2. Cut the pipe aboveor below one end of the valve. 3. Dig around the pipe coming out of the ground to provide some give in the pipe. 4. Apply heat and flux to the soldered end of the valve until you can wiggle it loose. (As stated before, if you are un-soldering the bottom hub of the valve you will need to vacuum out the water through the valve with a shop-vac, I sometimes tape a straw to the end of the vacuum hose to be able to get down inside of the pipe) 5. With the gate valve removed clean up the two ends of the pipe until they are shiny round copper. Often times the copper coming out of the ground is rolled copper and will be elongated from being curled from horizontal to vertical. If this is the case, it will need to be rounded before the new ball valve will fit. 6. Cut a short piece of pipe and a slip / no-stop coupling and fit them plus the ball valve into the gap created by the cuts performed earlier. Be sure to vacuum all the water out of the pipe before dry fitting new assembly. 7. Mark the pipes so that the slip coupling can be slid into place after the pipes are dry fitted together. Slide the slip coupling flush with the new pipe and fit the short length of pipe and new ball valve into place. Slide the slip coupling into the marked position. 8. Solder all joints, allow to cool for 15 minutes and test by turning the water on.
  22. It’s not soil conditions, it’s frost depths. Foundations have to be dug 12” below frost line. So in most of AZ that means foundations are only 18” deep, so to dig a basement is an extra cost for excavation, spoil haul off and concrete foundation walls. In places where the frost depth is 36” or 48” then the foundation already has to be excavated, spoils removed and foundation walls poured. So the cost to do the extra excavation and lower the depth of the slab is much lower than in a house with shallow foundations. This is why in places with a moderate frost depth of 24” or 36” you see a lot of split level or tri-level homes instead of full basements.
