It's labeled as preventative use, but I've used Tecnu after a rash has broken out a couple of times and it seems to have at least shortened the duration of the rash.

They make a 2 part deal now for poison ivy and poison sumac etc... A wash first and then a lotion. I've heard it works pretty well from people that became sensitive to it after years of explosure and burning etc...
If you still have some to get rid of. Get a pair of loping sears from home depot/lowes for a couple of bucks. A pair of gloves. You don't need to take it all out. Poke around and move the stuff with the shears. Cut it where it goes into the ground. Will die and whither away pretty quickly. If you're really worried leave the shears outside and once they get rained on good to go if you get stuff from the ivy on them. Once it's dead and dried pull it down. We get it here up trees and giant 1/4" stems at the ground.
I just cut them and done with it.

It's all gone now. I did use sheers but I had to clear large amounts of brush so it could've been anywhere when I was in there

That’s where you messed up. Got to roll a Dodge Ram. Once I got one I never went back. Full 4 door 4x4 with a hemi. Fuck fuel economy and get shit done

yea, i'm one of the few on my block w/o a suv or larger vehicle, obviously i can tell cuz those cars are too huge and just sit on the driveway, instead of inside, heh.
i am appreciating the use of "big space", i succumbed to a wheelbarrow recently and wow. Recently i reseeded the little patchy areas and b4 i woulda just just dumped half a bag of compost in a bucket and use another bucket for seed, fertilizer trowel, etc and make a dozen trips back and forth to the garage. This time i just empty'd out 5 bags worth, threw all the tools on top of the wheelbarrow and just wheeled it along.
does this mean i'll be popping for a truck? naw but a RAV4 is more than likely. (this unpacking of the tablesaw has opened my eyes)
This fold up table saw is amazingly compact tho!
Folded up, it's just the perfect size to fit on the sides of the garage

What your missing out on with the ram is the 3 cup holders in the middle and a middle console large enough to eat a proper meal off of. It’s so damn comfortable. Also nobody fucks with you on the road.
After a few months with it the right spaces don’t even give you. A second thought you just slide right in

only thing i notice about trucks is, theres a lot of em on the road (in ks). Mostly fords a tundra here and there, but they're all slow, even w/o carrying a load. Takes a truck guy like 7s to get past the intersection once it turns green and i always have to drive around em.

Yeah that’s for two reasons:
1. cause they got shitty trucks.
2. You just don’t give a fuck when your driving a truck cause it’s so comfortable.
My hemi has plenty of giddy up and I used to do auto sports and have family’s members who race professionally so i have driven some very high horsepower vehicles so I do have a frame of reference.
You have to get a v8 or gtfo imho
It can feel intolerably slow otherwise

The exception to this is the Ford 3.5l Ecoboost V-6. It does 0-60 in 6 flat and if you step on it at 75 to pass somebody you will be easily doing 95 by the time you get around them. The thing is incredible for a v6 pickup truck.

I’ve heard good things about it but I decided to go for dodge for that exact reason the v8 is simple no questions asked
I had an evo once upon a time with a big turbo and I didn’t like the jerk and lag associated with a turbo and really enjoy the naturally aspirated power of a large block v8.
The only thing in my diy experience about my ram 1500 is I have to be conscious of hauling capacity cause I load a lot of heavy shit in my truck. I probably should have gotten a 2500.
I’ve never actually had a problem with anybtbing but I do try to stay aware

Lol it’s more about just frame design and chassis for the two platforms.
And yes it’s a fair point. I don’t use a dually myself and I use my truck for work all the damned time.
Regardless as to whether you are pushing something to the limit it’s good to know the quality of it.

My daily driver is a Ford F-150 platinum. I *love* this vehicle. It's so fucking spacious, like you said, the center console is large as fuck, cupholders, 12v and 120v and USB outlets everywhere, fucking seat massagers, etc. Trucks are by far the best vehicles on the road.

The ecoboost has twin turbos which gets rid of most of the turbo lag. It's the same setup that they put in the mustang and it's pretty fun to step on the gas in that thing. I was worried about complexity too, but it seems like from what I've read they've held up really well. One thing about it is that it's super quiet which some people don't want in a pickup. Mine has an electric fan and I swear that thing makes more noise than the engine. When the fan shuts off it drops the noise from the truck by like 50%.
I love my F-150 too. 14 cup holders. I'm a large man who cannot sit comfortably in most back seats but in my crew cab I can sit in the back with the seat in front of me all the way back in complete comfort, or fold up the back seats for a shitload of storage that is super easily accessible without even having to resort to the bed. Pickups are expensive, large, and not the greatest gas mileage, but they are pretty great to drive, especially if you need to haul stuff.
I pull trailers all the time including heavy ones with the ranch pickups but we don't have any duallys. They are nice on the highway but they get stuck so fucking easy off road that it's infuriating.

When I was car shopping most recently it wasn't as much the number of them, but I wanted them to be able to accommodate my 30oz Yeti I roll with daily.
