Camp property found, now updates.

I like the metal, spark free metal 5 gal cans, with have the sealing lid, and the attached funnel.

I own and have used Eagle steel cans for many years. But for controlled pouring into smaller tanks, they bit.

How about one of these; www.northerntool.com/products/flo-n-go-duramax-gas-caddy-14-gallon-poly-model-06792-33631?cm_mmc=Bing-pla&cmpid=53403381&agid=3200075891&tgtid=pla-4577060754296649&prdid=33631&ogmap=SHP%7CPLA%7CBING%7CSTND%7Cm%7CSITEWIDE%7C%7CFuel%20Transfer%20%2B%20Lubrication%20-%20SC%7CFuel%20Transfer%7C%7C53403381%7C3200075891&msclkid=f364c781586414697b66af6cc698163a&gclsrc=3p.ds&gad_source=7&gad_campaignid=9225132172

The "No-Spill" brand Arly posted is the only one worth a crap. They are quite well made and work well. For my tractor I drilled a cross hole behind the push button and stick a drill bit in there to hold the button in while it empties into the tractor without me holding it. I wouldn't do that for a small tank as it would end...badly...but then it only takes a few seconds to fill small tanks anyways.

I'm gathering up some tools to leave at camp and I'll try get pics of that but he did leave some there. I'm filling some gaps. We might head down on Friday but we are still watching the weather.

A friend of mine is jealous I have two pretty well stocked with tool barns 500 miles apart. Seemed like for a few years I'd either forget to take certain tools I needed at the time only to find out after returning home 1k miles and a few weeks later they were organized in a nice tool container waiting to be loaded in my truck but never were or vice versa.

 

[jjeff]

At camp Covington if you have the storage and use a specific tool for one project or repair more than 9 times out of 10 one use paid for the cost of tool plus saved you money not paying someone else to do it. At least that's what I've experienced up there and pretty much anything everywhere I diy. Unless you screw whatever your trying to do worse than before I'm occasionally guilty of. .

Here are some tools heading out next trip. Right now the forecast looks overly wet.

Cordless drill with drill and various screw bits, circular saw , or at least a sawzalll. Pipe wrench, adjustable wrench. Socket set maybe 3/8", vice grips. Torpedo level prefer a 2' though, tape measure. Various length wood screws either a carpenters or speed square. Some clamps. Don't really know what your tasks planned are though.

Not shown is the tools already there and cordless drill that's going. Did order complete 3/8 socket set, duel propane tank switch over valve system and more...

 

[jjeff]

It will probably take you a few trips and activities before you figure out what will be really useful and can't be easily substituted with tools you have on hand.

 

[kenmbz]

axe and small sledge hammer always useful at a new property.
second the sawzall and some hand saws could come in handy.
Agreed you'll figure out more needs as you spend time there.

Now you're getting into Red Green territory...

 

[Topzide]

Are you kidding, I'll bet ArlyA probably has a first aid kit for himself, the Misses and the pups!

Not his first rodeo being off the beaten path!

 

[ArlyA]

There was lots and lots of stuff left there, some items good like a professorial 1st aid kit. I can not list all things already there.

Rain forecasted over the weekend was reduced so we will be heading to camp and do more trail clearing. Got a out-dated propane tank dropped off to be recertified and refilled. Bought a boot brush for camp and much more..

 

[ArlyA]

Got a 100 gallon propane tank recertified and refilled today. Putting it in the back of my truck nearly killed me. Might have to sell it.

time to buy a hoist
How did you get it in, those are pretty big and clumsy to move, when they dropped off mine empty they used a hoist and 2 guys.

 

[Carl_NH]

100 GAL full is 170Lbs that's a bear to load into a Pup bed! Maybe strap it to a wheeled dolly and put on the trailer instead or roll up a set of ramps into bed?

 

[EscapedSuburbia]

A big reason for buying a tractor was so I no longer need to lift stuff.
