THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

the Pinzgauer with a half a cord of Almond firewood.

Nice,
I'll send you my address if you make deliveries

They do make good firewood haulers! This is cherry wood waiting to be split.
One of my neighbors owns the Stihl dealership so I shot this for him to hang on his shop wall.

used to seeing that truck surrounded by desert, looks good in the woods

It's Krylon Ultra Flat Camo Olive spray paint. Very easy to get an even coat, it wears like iron and is easy touch up. Not a show winner but I really like it.

same paint I used on my 712. Looks great new but seems to fade after a couple years. Still looks good just lost the deepness of the color. Very easy to touch up when that pesky branch leaves its mark though.

I drove down the highway today with huge bamboo sticking out the back it was fun people were honking left and right.

I've used this paint for years on my Suzuki Sami's, plan to apply it to the pinz eventually. It's a bit lighter in color, but very easy for touchups and wears very well. Goes on nice and even as previously mentioned.

I've used that stuff for years. Can repaint the whole vehicle for less than $25. I get mine at WalMart.

Please forgive, but I must post on this thread because I'm a bamboo enthusiast, and obviously you are going to plant that bamboo. You harvested that bamboo correctly, during the waning moon, and maybe the leafless shoot will not make it, but the rest of the clump will if you water it copiously and the wind does not harm it much. Good luck, bamboo is a lot "greener" than trees, and in my case necessary as a wind deterrent, especially this time of year in my country. I am curious to know what species it is so far from the tropics.

I dont know the species of the Bamboo .but its cold here where i live but this bamboo grows really well here the canes will get up to 4 inches across i have great luck digging it up and replanting it,like you said as long as i water it allot but it rains almost everyday here in the winter so its easy every time i dig up 4 clumps i break a shovel and im talking about a FISKARS metal shovel so i need to buy a proper reenforced bamboo shovel. the guy charges me 20$ a clump but i have to dig it up myself. Eventually i will have enough that i wont have to buy from him anymore.

OK, NorCal, you might also consider planting the top third of at least three-year-old stems cut during a waning moon, without the "branches", horizontally under four inches of soil in a trench. Mature stems have to be harvested anyway to keep the grove healthy. Much easier than transplanting whole clumps, although the results are not as immediate. I plant mainly Bambusa guadua, the tallest bamboo in the world, as a result of my mother having brought two culms in a suitcase from Brazil about sixty years ago. Good planting!!
