I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years. I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt. Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can. The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas. I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began. I installed the shield and repositioned the handle. Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine. It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.

This is a very impressive gadget. I have seen these trail cameras on TV but have never owned one. The camera seems very durable. The setup instructions were a bit obtuse but not terribly so. It took awhile to set up the camera but once set up, it seems to work ok. I experimented with the settings and they appear to work. One interesting note, you can use a standard SD card with this but if you want to avoid going out and pulling the SD card or bringing the camera in and connecting it to your computer here is an idea. I put an eye.fi mobi card in which is a wireless SD card. If you set the software on your phone or tablet you can have the photos transmitted to those devices automatically. This assumes where you are putting the camera is within your wifi envelope. If it is, mine is, then you can bring your photos up on your phone without removing the SD card or the camera. This works as it is how I am using the camera. Well it worked in setup mode. It did not work in actual "on" mode. So perhaps someone can make it work but I didn't.
