Snow Goose Migration Update

Pretty Steady Push Down…Majority Still in Canada Obviously.

• Front Push has roughly 50% juvies - However, the Adults Still Dominate the Big Flocks

• Snow Geese Have Been Migrating Mostly at Night ( Watch the NIGHT winds )

• Play the Weather - Forecast Still Looks Mild - My GUESS is the peak is still maybe a week or even more away…

Campers and RVs

• Bumper Pull vs. 5th Wheel

• Outdoor Amenities such as Kitchen, Fridge, Grill, etc.

• Slides - What to Look For?

• Do Brands Really Matter?

• IF you go BIG….DO you have the AC Capacity to Cover?

• Mobile Camping vs. Seasonal Camping

 

This is Chris’ setup for camping.  For him, a 26’ camper with one slide is perfect.  Tows great and easy to clean and manage.  Would purchase again if given the chance…

For Seasonal Camping, we’re allowed a 12x16 (max) shed on your lot.  Considering 2 bunks in the back, A/C unit, open up bar in the front, must have a chub freezer and a separate fridge/freezer.

Trucks for Towing SAID Campers and in General

• Chris Runs a 2014 Chevy Duramax 6.6 and about to hit 300k - runs like a Champ
