    Kodiak Tent - Initial Thoughts

    I recently got my Kodiak Canvas 10x14 tent after a pretty long back order. Today I set it up so I could spray it down with water per the manufacturers instructions to “season” it. Setup was a breeze. I love canvas tents and had a Davis 12x14 for a while. I have owned so many tents I can’t count... backpacking, hunting, family camping, 1 man, 6 man, shower tent.... This thing is a pleasure to set up! It is truly a 1 man operation and a piece of cake. Quality! The quality is probably the best i’ve seen in a tent. Even better than my Davis. Little details like rigid frames on the vent flap to keep it up off the outside of the tent for air flow. The floor is really heavy duty and should last a lifetime with care. Waterproofing - Whatever they do to treat the canvas for waterproofing is amazing (see video). It came like that out of the box. No addition. treatment needed. I plan on heating it with my buddy heater, 30lb tank and a battery operated CO detector. Although I have no real world experience in it yet, I have been in enough tents to know this thing will easily last me 20 years. If anyone is on the fence about one of these tents, just buy it. You won’t regret the purchase. Now I just need to get drawn for early archery bull in 2021. IMG_1547.MOV

    Steel case vs brass case ammo

    The only problems I’ve had with steel cased ammo is the lacquer coating that’s placed on the cases. If you shoot enough the lacquer gets gummed up in the chamber which can cause malfunctions. Might affect your liability on a semi auto rifle. But for the most part steel cased ammo is good to go

    I am not a boss or supervisor but just the fact that you came on here seeking advice makes me think you’ll do great.

    2004 Polaris Ranger 500 4x4

    Check out the Blue Book on a 7.3 Ford or a pre 2007 Cummins. It will be way off the actual market price.

    SxS Mechanic?

    Could be battery. Can Am will go into limp mode for low battery voltage. Check voltage....Should be between 12.5v to 13v. Start machine and while running check voltage to see if the machine is charging. Should be around 14v to 14.5v.

    HID lights in ATV/UTV

    I was considering putting a light bar on the Ranger for driving the dark FS roads and trails but I couldn’t really find a good mounting solution I liked (I don’t have the Pro Fit bars). I wanted to keep everything stock so I could return it to original config if I ever needed too. No mods, drilling into roll bars, etc. I ordered a 55w 5000k HID kit from DDM Tuning instead. Does anyone run HID’s in their off road machine?

    HID lights in ATV/UTV

    Depends on your machine. Whatever headlight it takes. Mine takes 886, 880 type. Pull your bulb and look on it. It will be written on base of bulb.

    HID lights in ATV/UTV

    HID Kit from DDM Tuning. Select bulb style for your specific machine. I used the 5000K temperature bulbs. The 55W are almost too bright (almost). I had a guy flash his high beams at me the other day because of them. But they will be the bees knees on the trails. They also make a 35W kit. Best part it’s only $44.95. https://ddmtuning.com/Product-Categories/HID/HID-Kits/DDM-HID-Kits

    These cost $45. No chance I’m spending $500+ for Rigid
