Default Winter Care

Any other items folks do to bundle up their gliders?

What a great thread. Some new ideas! I'm gonna plant some mint around the gear legs of the ones tied out.....even in drought years, the dew can help it get going, and I like it. Some climates would have to think about mint's expanding invasive nature. Much more persistent than dryer sheets, but I need to be more regular about adding those to the evening tiedown protocol.

I've been using old-fashioned Victor products, outside, which makes a few customers squeamish. And please, no catch and release. I've been accused of being soft-hearted, but not in this regard.

For decades, the hangar kitty patrolled inside and outside under the trailer row. Despite his occasional proof-of-work-ethic trophies, He was worth his weight in kibble many times over. But I don't recommend packing one inside a trailer for the winter. RIP, Blackie.
