So when are you planning to buy one (canoe) of your own?

@northcountryexplorers 3 күн бұрын

@wildernesscanoeassociation we're looking! we've had a few in the past but are looking for a super lightweight one now. those cost a lot more so we haven't picked one up yet.

What happens when the line is 99% used and you want to reload with new. Yours was empty so it was easy to insert new line.

@northcountryexplorers 3 күн бұрын

@richardc6932 you have to have it empty to reload. so you have to use all the string or if you have a little left in you'll have pop off the white collar and take the leftover out.

You de-burred with grinder without saftey glasses. Took friend to ER because did same thing on metal and got a piece of long metal in his eye. Just missed blinding him for good in one eye. Was horrible. Wear goggles please. Good video otherwise. I still have my DK2 in crate. Yet to put it together. 😂

One thing to add... removing the white plastic band altogether, I found helps in the operation of the trimmer, and makes it easier to add line when needed

So today, I bought the OPC513 version. It seems to be almost identical to yours. The motor is a Kohler RH265. As I'm now putting it together and reading through, I noticed that in the manual it says to use mid-grade or higher gasoline! I wish that they put that on the outside of the box or in the offers on sites. I would not have bought this if that was a must. So I'm wondering, do you use mid-grade or have you tried it with regular gas? if so, did it seem to run ok? Thanks in advance. *UPDATE: I've been using regular gasoline since day one and it works just fine.*

@northcountryexplorers Ай бұрын

we only use non-ethanol gas in all our small engine machines. the dk has a kohler rh265 motor also but the gas cap says 10% ethanol max which is 87 gas so you should be fine.

@BlondieSL Ай бұрын

@@northcountryexplorers oh thanks for that! I hadn't noticed that on the cap. It is there. Also, there's a little sticker on the tank itself that shows 2 little gas pump icons. One, with no red circle/line through it, says, E0-E10 while the one with the red circle/line says E15-E85. I'm taking that to mean just what you said there. E10 max is fine. I wonder why the danged book says to use "mid grade or higher!"... I dislike things that are not clear to some of us. LOL I'm almost ready to fire the thing up. I'll probably only put a couple of cups of gas in it as the gas is over a year old. I keep gas for the generators. Tomorrow, I can buy some fresh gas to really try out this thing. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

@BlondieSL Ай бұрын

@@northcountryexplorers Well that was something. LOL Yes, it ran just fine on old, regular gas. As expected, it's very noisy, but it sure ate what I gave it without a problem. Fortunately, too, it's not as big as I thought it was going to be. So it'll be easier to store. Take care.

@BlondieSL 6 күн бұрын

Now over a month later and I'm loving this investment. I have more to do today. I did end up buying a pair of noise reduction head protectors, which block out most of the noise. I really wouldn't want to be near this noisy machine without them. LOL

Why do they remove the doors for winter? What takes their place for winter?

@northcountryexplorers Ай бұрын

I believe they remove the doors to help them stay in good working condition - less exposure to the elements. They put plain doors up in their place.

I have a big yard I wonder if it would work for me

@northcountryexplorers Ай бұрын

We have just under half an acre and we can get about half done with two batteries. If you don't mind taking a break to wait for them to charge (or have more than two batteries) you'd have no problem. If it's a lot bigger than half an acre it would probably not be a good choice.

It was one of the harder ones we've ever done. Lots of scrambling up rocks. As sketchy as it seemed, it's a really well traveled one. We passed a lot of people on it. I did find myself wondering what would happen if one of us twisted an ankle (or worse).

I am curious. Is the Antonov AN2 Polish with the N number N87AN? Also great to see a Lark 100. They look like a Cessna 272, but are faster in cruise.

@northcountryexplorers 4 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about the number on the Antonov. I looked back at all my footage and it doesn't look like I have any where I can read it. I looked on the museum's website but I couldn't make out the number there either. Sorry!!

I guess technically they are for steep terrain but they are turns in the trail so you're going more parallel to mountain (this was a hill) instead of straight up or down.
