Earth Driller with Auger Donated - June 26, 2006

The Border Fence Project has received a generous donation from Ground Hog, Inc, of San Bernardino, CA. They donated to us a hydraulic, gas-powered Earth Driller with Auger on wheels. We requested this item as a possible item for material contribution on our "Materials and Tools Needed" page and they came to the rescue! Only this item is far more convenient and practical then anything we thought we'd use. It can be towed behind a vehicle like a truck or ATV and takes the strain off two individuals who would have to do heavy labor to lift and position a two-man manual Earth Driller - it rolls along rough terrain with little effort. The unit comes complete with a 6" Auger (large drill bit) and we will now ship to our California zone for drilling holes for fence and camera posts.

We will soon receive a truck load of donated barbed wire as well to mend and extend federal cattle fence. My observation of the California and Arizona southern borders, along with Minuteman testimony in New Mexico and Texas, tells me much of the international zone already has single and even double cattle fencing, but gaps in wire from cutting or pulling can be found almost one area per 100 yards, making coyotes keen on paths of entry know how to advance intruders at a fast pace. However, this makes our job so much easier, as mending can be done at a much greater rate than extending, and we could very well mend several miles in one day with a team of about one-dozen people. The cameras, again, are what prevent damage to the fence and allow Cyber Minutemen to identify and report intruders for the best deterrent and actual detention, the physical fence only slows them down enough to give Cyber Minuteman ample time after motion sensor detonates. The Earth Driller makes it possible to cement new fence posts at 90-degree bends and terminating ends, so posts cannot be knocked down. We will use the Earth Drill for 15-30-foot-high posts and quads for cameras, which will be positioned about one per 1/4 mile in sync with mended/extended fencing. Please feel free to join us in Arizona this weekend for the camera launching event - see http://www.MinutemanFence.com.
