Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Phooey went out to the shed to look at a couple of Rugged Gear gun carts I had out there as I was thinking about selling them. Crap some rats or other vermin ate them, shredded them, stored food in them and built nests in the pockets. Both are totally ruined. Now I have to haul them to the dump.

Tyrel Cody Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Sell the frames, can probably get new canvas to cover them or make panels out of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Dangit! I might have been interested in buying one of those. Years ago I lost some camping gear to rodents. Little bastages destroyed a $400 tent and some nice sleeping bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I was able to get replacement cover when Brisco and Martha were still the main distributer for Rugger Gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sell the frames I would have to remove all the nasty rodent covered canvas. Next thing you know I'll have Hanta virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yeah not any more. When Brisco had a distributorship he supplied any and all parts. Most of the suggestions sound like work. I don't even want these nasty things in my new SUV. Need to find a friend with a pickup. The one cart was a virtually new deluxe cart that I used once or twice and put it in the shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely understand why you do not want to handle them or put them in your vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I set the ash bucket, shovel and big welding glove out on the back porch last spring. Moving stuff around yesterday and found some rodent eat the leather out of the pointy finger of the glove. Could have made a hole anywhere else and not ruined the glove for intended use.

Had like 3 or 4 backpacks in my shed, bass t*rds ruined my flexible frame Coleman and didn't bother the cheap ones. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go West Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 If I didn't live so far, I's offer to pick one or more up. If you don't get rid of them soon, I could get one on next trip up since we have family in Chandler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke 'um Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Offer the frames for sale. Many young families like to convert them into jogging strollers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
