I am good after a gallon.

We could produce a lot more, if we could work out a better system for hauling sap.

Sub, no clue on how to improve you sap hauling system. One ludicrous thing that came to mind was a series of steel cables with pulleys that would be strong ebough for a one or two gallon bucket. Sort of like a ski lift.

LOL Nor', they can all stay in VT. As in all places, some are nice, some are d***** bags.

If you have a vest pocket pistol in every chambering known including both the 2.7mm and 3mm Kolibri as well as the 4.25mm Menz Liliput you might be a survivalist.

If you know the gold content of just about all of the bullion and semibullion coins you might be a survivalist.

If you do little or no gardening but know how to forage you might be a survivalist.

If you try to figure out how to plunder the Arms and Armor gallery at the Met every time you visit you might be a survivalist.

If you know three ways to bring a gun into NYC when you are not driving a car you might be a survivalist. I do, but it's my secret. However, a smart and knowledgable survivalist can figure it out.

If you grow fruits or vegetables all year in even the harshest climates you might be a survivalist.

If you were sad when Jerry Ahern died you might be a survivalist.

If you are bewildered when you read of someone who found a treasure you might be a survivalist. You'd keep your mouth shut.

If you know that using cash instead of credit cards makes people remember you, you might be a survivalist.

If you'd like to own one of these even if you live in desert



you might be a survivalist. It's a 1942 Amphibious Seagoing Jeep. It's in the National Guard and Militia Museum of New Jersey.

If you read or reread this entire thread you might be a survivalist.

^^^ Ah the memories of the floating jeep. My uncle got one after the war when I was a kid. He used to love chasing the car ferry with it!

Here is a few. All are true of me except the last one. It was my Land Cruiser in the middle of the desert in Africa.


You might be a survivalist when you invite friends over for dinner and they ask if the food is fresh. If it is they wont come.
You might be a survivalist when suddenly your friends are knocking on your front door wanting to use the shower.
You might be a survivalist when the sheriff knocks on your door a few times a month wanting to use your phone because his dosent work.
You might be a survivalist when you are not to sure what day it is but you are pretty sure of the year.
You might be a survivalist when there is a major earthquake and you sleep thru it. Then when you find out about it a month later and ask your friends why no one called, they say they knew you were ok.
You might be a survivalist when a friend comes to visit with his new rifle, forgets to bring the ammo and you just make it for him.
You might be a survivalist when you can care less about hurricanes, tornados or 1000 year storms but hail makes you sweat.
You might be a survivalist when the snow plow drivers knock on your door and ask you to pull them out of the ditch every year.
You might be a survivalist when the hunting guides ask you where the game is.
You might be a survivalist when you are burning your wood stove in July.


You might be a survivalist when someone asks you to fix their blown head gasket on their land rover and you show up with just a file, a piece of 1/4” sheet metal, a piece of pipe, some copper sheet, a can of spray paint and a piece of cardboard and the car drives off 2 hours later.
