Maxitrak Case at -18°F
« on: February 07, 2021, 10:54:35 am »
-18°F (-35° wind chill)

At 1:07 you can hear a pop from a very cold tree

I did too, from inside the house. Thanks for braving the cold to bring us that video.

Spectacular Nick ... glad to get to see that from inside the comfort of home myself, but there was a day when I relished going out to play in similar conditions. Still don't mind it too much even today, though the opportunities now, are nothing like they used to be for me.

Sure hope you well drained and blew out all the action parts on that wonderful Case of yours!!!

I would bet you have spent many more hours at a time out in the cold without the chance to run back in the house to warm up  8)

Indeed .... there was a time when my work had me out in similar conditions, and even far worse, on a regular and extended basis. Generally I loved it all, tough as it was .... back in the day!
