Tom King Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 My truck is too old to have a built in backup camera. I bought a GPS that has a built in backup camera, and haven't backed into anything since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardA Posted March 8, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I don't have any back up camera, but I do have mirrors. And I use them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pondhockey Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Went to a Woodcraft class on routers, in Boise. Got home at 11:30pm, grabbed a beer and read about madcap adventures. Very entertaining. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 My trucks has an 8'6" wide, by 5' high zone behind it that it's not possible for mirrors to see. For years, I was able to plan ahead, but once a wheelbarrow moved, all by itself, right into the blind spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardA Posted March 8, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I backed 53' trailers into 9' wide spaces to get freight unloaded using only mirrors for more than 30 years. Backing a pickup or car without a rear camera is simply a matter of distance judgement and mirrors. To me it's second nature, to most everyone else cameras are necessary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat60 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The only backup camera I'm interested in is one on the back of my RV..I would still use my mirrors for backing anyway but a quick look in camera would be nice. The problem with cameras is some people stop using there mirrors and are two lazy to turn there head now a days.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Alison has a backup camera. Didn’t help in this case because she wasn’t backing up. Then again, it didn’t help when she backed out of the carport into the rock planter wall a few months ago. She’s a good candidate for an autonomous car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 My Wife is really good about not hitting things that aren't moving, but I told her last year that she really should get a Deer hunting license. She said the Vultures, and Eagles need to eat too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's where you find out how undefeated I can be, I have 6 count'em 6 ex wives. Some women are in marriage for the benifits. I was a long haul truck driver making really damn decent money, and I was rarely home. All 6 of them found that to be ideal. No husband home to pester them, a damn decent deposit every week, what more could a woman want. Of those 6 there is a total of 5 1/2 years divided among them. Number 7, is rock solid for more than 20 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 For some reason i decided that i needed to flatten my bench today. There were 1/4 inch gapes in some places. I don't ever suggest doing a pine bench unless you let that stuff dry for 9 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
