the_stig 6,614 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Would an ex mod strecther do the job ? Stigly; My only experience of " MOD Stretchers " has been in looking down on one, in a govt. surplus shop. Years ago. They're cheap as chips. (If they did double ones, I'd buy one for the Dogs and I to sleep on!) But; They're also full of wood and bits of metal. Completely extraneous to Jig's purpose. I mean; His lad and him are hardly intending to Medevac these stinking carcasses off the hill, are they? There'll be no nearby ambulance. Buy one for the cheap canvass? Wrong shape. Buy two and stitch the canvasses together? Hellish hard work. And I'm not at all sure about the strength of canvass used anyway. I wouldn't. No. Those stretchers were made for two men to carry a combat fit weighted man a relatively short distance. They wouldn't have factored in dragging the poor sod, across country, when they put out the tender for the canvas. Tarpaulin just a tought ---- mountain rescue n all that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hi pal just offering my thoughts on the truck canvas i use it as a boat cover an while its fairly tough id doubt it,d be upto bein dragged around i reckon it would tear on the first sharp thing it met aswell its fairly heavy for what it is and dont pack down to small either.

baw 4,360 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Only the 2 jigsaw, hardly worth the effort cracking read pal. As for the tarpaulin debate lol. Even if it did work, it's going to be f***ing stinking of goat, can't see you using it twice. I'd butcher it as much as I could while gutting it. Head off, must weigh a good bit. Even if you do boil the brains for the dogs, is it worth the weight? Hocks off and front legs below the elbow, them hooves must weigh a bit too. Back legs cut off, in a havosack the rest rope round it and drag it. It would be a lot lighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
