Yes pythons a huge problem down here with no natural predator. Did you hear about the alligator and python who died together? The python swallowed half the alligator, and the alligator chew out the insides of the python and poked out from it’s belly a…[Read more]

I think it’s called hunting. We need more hunters, unfortunately hunting as a family activity is dying off. In light of that we need to allow what few hunters are left to take more game on a yearly basis.

Come down here and you can hunt alligators.

How far away from water are you , I can imagine walking around in the dark barefoot or in flip flops 🙄 and stepping on or close enough that it could snap you

You guys up north have no idea what hot and humid really is. When the humidity is 200% and you are breathing in air that feels like molasses…that’s humid lol.

I think it’s pretty much the same everywhere.

Down here the water drains pretty fast via infiltration. However the problem is we are flat in Florida. There isn’t any steep slope anywhere. Most new development prohibits water running off from your property to the streets or neighbors. So if you want to put in a concrete driveway out front,…[Read more]

Those are smaller 8″ 10″ with a pivot head. Very handy to trim down high arching palm fronds.

What exactly is that? EGO’s pole saw works with a separate powerhead unit. There are multiple tools that work with the powerhead.

These comes in three separate pieces. The front is the chain. The middle piece is an adjustable pole, and the end piece with the trigger.

All three pieces together f…[Read more]

I am seriously considering getting on EGO lawn tools. I need a pole saw, a chain saw and a leaf blower. However I would prefer a “convertible chain/pole saw” but only a few manufacturer offer this.

Meanwhile Milwaukee has a deal out with a chainsaw, blower, charger and a 12ah HC battery for $399 so I am seriously thinking about that too since I…[Read more]
