Learn to use your chains!

With the snowmelt runoff there might be some trouble, some new hills are in the making. Gold prospectors may actually find gold.

 

as mentioned, never go into battle with out testing your weapons. first time out of the package was at night just before throwing chains or hanging iron as some say, the battery cover broke while removing the slip of paper for power. twas the only light available, tape didn't work very long.

I use one of those for loading/unloading vehicles at night got mine from Gander Mountain..

So far its held up real well wasn't too bad price wise around $30 if I remember right.

 

I have gone through several headlamps since getting back into trucking over four years ago. Each was a disappointment. A couple of days ago I picked up this tactical headlamp at the Hillsboro, TX TA for $20.

The light is BRIGHT. Much closer to the old halogen bulb headlamps I used to use for climbing large, glaciated mountains as a young man.
