A true story:
Odd how some will rationalize annoying behavior as OK because it's less annoying than other more annoying behaviors.
:h
My brother was on a scouting trip and needed a quick throwdown camp for the night. He drove off the highway on a dirt road across a sagebrush flat a few miles and was having dinner when a car appeared on the horizon. it got closer and closer, stopping about 50 feet away, and the fella started setting up camp. My brother walked over to him wearing his sidearm, and told him "If I wanted neighbors, I would not have camped here". The fella left in a hurry.
The point is, that if you want to camp near others... You gotta understand that someone will annoy you....Just as you are sure to annoy someone as well.
As we are driving away, I'd be on the phone to the cops telling them how there is some crazy guy flashing a gun at people passing by...probably won't send him to jail but I'm sure he will love spending a couple hours discussing with the cops. - BB_TXNomad

I have a hand held impact cordless drill. Ryobi.
The next person I hear using an impact on their stabilizers im throwing their impact in the garbage or in a lake! :B
Please use a cordless drill!
Has 3 settings. Clutch for torque limit on a screw, locked for wood/metal drilling, and impact for drilling in concrete.
Never seemed that load actually.
Now if you are talking a half-in drive 300+ ft-lb impact only gun to remove wheel lugs those are a bit louder. I have a Craftsman model. I would not bring this heavy tool camping. Yes it is a bit louder but would probably lift the RV off the ground before the noise was noticed.
I still prefer the hand crank for the stabilizers and the drill stays at home.
I think you have a Ryobi hammer drill/driver, not an impact cordless drill. I have the same. The noise is the chuck actually short stroking in and out, or hammering a drill bit. - dodge_guyExplorer II

I converted my Rigid impact driver to a gas powered tool using a 2 stroke weed eater motor. The battery version was just too slow. Apparently it's pretty popular as I usually get the one finger salute when leaving.
Well, I hope you at least mix the oil a little heavier to help with the skeeters! - HuntindogExplorer

I am saving up for the V8 conversion kit. Gona put a blower on it and run nitro methane with open exhaust. I figure the faster I get those jacks to move, the less chance of anoying someone.:B

This attitude is why I do not use campgrounds. Cram a bunch of people together with no elbow room, and someone will have an issue about something with another.

I hate camping around people.... I have to put up with their BS in the city... I will NOT do it when camping. If I can see another camper, they are too close.
Exactly! - parcanyExplorer
