Make sure it has AC for aluminum. Most of the smaller inverter Tigs are DC only.

Did you decide on how to mark trees? Or even if you want to? It'd make repeat trips easier. I have several used cans of spray paint at home. Or if you have a certain color in mind, I'll pick some up

@snuffnwhisky this is my first choice so far. Are there any Chinese models out there that have good bang for the buck? When I say Chinese I mean any cheaper off brand regardless of origin

Not really thought about it. I figure we can find the path if that's what we do.

Totally up to you man. I just thought if we wanted to come back later, the trail would be marked. But I gotta admit, trailblazing from scratch is fun too

At any rate, I'll be there (at 8 wink wink) with saw, gas, bar oil, tools, spare, compressor, tow strap, wore out like new winch, and a set of Blackwater Evos. Word up.

If it were me I would stick with Miller or Lincoln. I would also look at used machines around 250 amps+ if you can. Probably similar price range with more capacity, HD and probably get consumables. You can figure about 1 amp per .001" of metal. So 150 amps would cover you to 3/16" metal. The one you pictured is DC only so no aluminum and you need a torch, consumables and probably power cord. One nice add on is a flex head torch.
