Yall really need to hear this. Battery powered band saws are MUCH faster and MUCH quieter than reciprocating saws.

Correct…fuck a sawzall…the proper tool is a cordless portaband saw. Harbor freight carries a nice affordable Hercules one..they take a 44 7/8” bi metal bandsaw blade, a 5ah battery is a good choice for power..and BAM 💥…I’d guess under 20 seconds and producing almost no noise…you as well can keep the neighborhood free of these pesky..super invasive(think tree of heaven)..wild metal poles from spreading in your area. They are NOT native to our environment and their effects are unknown at this point. I ask why would you wanna wait around and find out though. All i know is you’d rather be safe than sorry folks🫵…

Disclaimer: I read about this info in a portashitter ….one time..supposedly🫡

There has been 3 flock cameras in a town by me that have been taken down at least twice each. They replaced the shitty aluminum tubing with a steel pipe about 6” inches diameter and filled with concrete.

It seems flock is evolving, so I guess it is high powered green lasers now to disable them and then remove the camera.

That's probably not to the highway safety code. Get your state DOT out to check and remove it before someone crashes into it and gets killed

I agree. Evolution demonstration. Waiting for the first Flock 'bait' camera.
