FREEEEEKN WIMPS !!

[Norman89]

Meh. I'll take my woodgas powered truck and continue along carbon neutral. No gasoline, no propane, no emissions, no goobermint telling me how much gas I can buy at what price, and best of all? I produce my own fuel and that means I don't step on ANYONE ELSES TOES! soon plan to be powering the house on woodgas as well. Heading for independence that way I want it. Then I can sit back and watch cryder rip and know I'm not a target

The woodgas stuff, while cool and old school way of producing energy, will have the wood nymphs coming after you!
I saw an interesting 'older' discussion on how many 'years' of wood growth per mile it takes to operate vehicles powered by the system. Only sustainable if a fairly small percentage of people use it. Otherwise, between all of the wood uses plus woodgas use in general we would run out of trees if we all switched to that, not to mention the price would start going sky high on any wood, critters would get pushed out and die off, bla, bla, bla.
No energy is free.
Cool 'old school tech' though.

the technology has come a long ways in the last few years, it will never go mainstream we know that for a fact. No one wants to get covered in soot all the time maintaining the system, but they have become very efficient. Guys in Europe have hybrid trees they plant for fuel that grow to maturity in 3-5 years and can produce more fuel then they need for the year of traveling on woodgas. I'm currently getting 1.5lbs of wood per mile traveled, and all my fuel is waste pallets from my work so no extra wood harvest on my part all waste that the company pays to have hauled off so I save the company money and myself money win win. Think of all the slab wood from sawmills, all the branches from yearly tree trimmings that goes to waste. Piles of chips on the ground.  There is a fellow that has had success compressing woodgas into propane tanks, sounds like it could run a burner or heater in a ice fishing shack nicely just my little slice of independence that's all, saving over 1000$ a month on my fuel bill with WW2 technology that most have never heard about or want to deal with

I just turned down my heat a couple degrees, you should be good to go for next week

So let me see if I understand your whining, oops, I meant ‘establishing an absolute and correct truth’ correctly. Your inability to catch fish when you want to, at your convenience, at the specific time you go out, is the fault of someone cuddling in a blanket? Really?

This sounded like a bad fisherman who can’t spell. He does quite a bit of whining.

You guys are totally missing the allegory.

Imagine what'll happen with all those EVs plugged in.
BTW I just did my part by turning the toaster down to "3".

I just turned mine up a couple degrees since you guys are doing the sacrificing.  Thank you!

Morning Cryder! Sorry to tell you but I tend to catch more fish when the water is down! Lake Roosevelt can be finicky when it is dropping fast though.

You pegged us all. Currently the vast majority of us are all wrapped in our plug in blankies, with the heat at 80, multiple portable plug in heaters, 4 tv’s on but only watching one, every light on in the house, running Christmas lights during the day, letting my coffee get cold just so I can reheat it in the micro, every light on in the house, hot tub lid open so it constantly heats, oh and the front and back door wide open. This happens every year it gets cold, find a new spot to fish till the water comes down, and seriously stop with the CAPS!!! Happy new year brother!

I thought electricity was magic..

I mean I just put the pluggy thing into the du hicky thingy in the wallZ and wa-la.... it's on...

I had no idear. Sorry cryd.

I'm guna let my woodstve diminish the current junk of mother earth board and reduce my carbon impacting on the oZone hopefully retroactively stopping this global warming....argh...um...I mean climate change/ ice age so people need less of the magic heat to stay warm.

Doing my part feeelz good.

Unkind words like that against our own HuntWa legendary writer/commentator could you banned Cougar Gold. 😉

He’s a source of entertainment, in these not so entertaining times.👍

Cool! I’ve never been cancelled before! Are you from CNN?

[Sandberm]

Not sure if my upwind neighbor is doing his part to reduce electricity usage by heating his doublewide with a woodstove...by the smell of things he must be burning plastic buckets and railroad ties, maybe doing some amateur crematorium work

Probably just cooking meth 😂

Let Cryder speak his mind.  Some of you don't like it but have to be the 1 to bash him. Just move along. Oh wait thats too hard for some folks.

Rookie mistake 😂 I’m sure you will get a pass this time CG. It takes time to properly read and enjoy cryderisms. Reminds me of the first time I drank whiskey it was unpleasant and bitter at first but I , like most, learned to enjoy it 😂The real question is to Cryder-what is your relationship to lady grouse hunter? I gots to know!!

[idaho guy]

I also turned my toaster down to 3 AND turned off 2 lights on the porch. I’ve got your back Cryder. Fish on !!

The real leader in a movement is the first follower

Heres rare footage of Cryder and idaho guy from 12 years ago. If you look closely you will see Lady Grouse Hunter join in at the end.

Oh come on, we can’t take shots at a dude that took shots first?!?! Get thicker skin. If you read these replies they aren’t exactly bashing as much as they are giving him a hard time. He came in hot with his post, it’s not uncommon to get a little heat for that.
