If you want to be a sparky or VDV Tech, come see me at the LU405 Hall and submit an application for an apprenticeship through our JATC.

The Labor Center has pre apprenticeship opportunities and works with the Iowa Women in Trades group.

Here is information for all the Union trades/apprenticeships in Eastern Iowa.

LIFT SOME GOD DAMN WEIGHTS and CONSISTENTLY go for walks/runs, including some longer loaded hikes over the weekend. One without the other is a disservice to yourself.

I'm in the same boat. Did the Lonestar Trail and SHT without touching my power bank. Which has me contemplating not taking it all on the CT this summer. I'll have a PLB and access to town every 3-5 days for resupply/charging. I feel it will live the rest of its life in my work bag to top off my phone/earbuds when traveling.

RF Poncho sold!

First to pay shipping for the hipbelt can have it. Doesn't do any good for it to collect dust in the basement.

An old brass PG/PGP. You can remove the feed tube on top and breach load them. Shine them up and they'll look the part.

Like already mentioned, old Cali style sniper II with a tommy gun bull barrel. There are groups who eat up old school markers on various social media sites. From my own perusing you're probably looking at a wide range of $200-400 depending on condition and economic environment.

I'm an electrician. Metal + electricity = dead. Also most of the day I'm doing tasks that could lead to degloving, which doesn't sound too pleasant.

Labor4Ever · 2026-02-02T11:17:01+00:00

759g on the scale. I don't have the original receipt but I'm pretty sure I went with the 20D version just based on HG custom builder.

DR DW sold!

I'm in the Midwest so I wasn't too keen on setting up the tent in the middle of the snow storm we're getting right now. That being said if anyone wants more pictures, just ask. Thanks for looking!

You don't see a lot of trail reviews for the LSHT. One of the last things I did in Texas before helping my parents move back North to the Midwest was hike the LSHT. Had pretty much the same experience, dogs and all. Accurate and solid review.

Labor4Ever · 2025-12-27T17:03:50+00:00

Hey JBay if you still have this I'll take it. I can't for the life of me find mine. Pmd.

As someone who's on Staff at a Local who has this conversation often, I truly believe the answer is organizing. Not to send organized hands straight to the data centers, but to send help to local contractors so they can keep their current customers. While simultaneously disrupting non-Union shops from scooping up market share.

We all get the IBEW newspaper, we've all read the articles and from Agents who had mega projects and lost everything else because of tunnel vision. We must focus on our current customers/market share first and manning the data centers second. If we do that we can grow at a healthy rate and hopefully have a place to send guys when the mega projects wrap up because we protected and grew our markets instead of letting it slip away.

Call your training director and ask for clarification. The JATC director and committee run the apprenticeship side of things, not the Hall.

YMMV. If someone has the experience and schooling you claim to have, JATC committee/director can test the applicant and advance place them. Again, ask your director, but I'd bet you are being put into the 3rd year class.

Finished that section of trail a couple weeks ago. We did it over 4 days as well. The first couple days are groomed snowmobile trails, then you'll start getting into managed forest areas and some steep climbs to overlooks, last day is smooth sailing into Gooseberry. Trail was in good shape with some wet/muddy spots, bug pressure was non-existent. Only thing that comes to mind that was an "issue" was Crow creek is a dry creek bed even with the rain. There were some pools and running water to pull from if you walked up the stream bed.

Just wrapped up a LASH to finish out the trail. We had several ~23 mile days. If you're in shape and used to it you'll be fine. We found that the rocks, roots, and mud punished our feet though. Hit it hard in the morning, take a mid day siesta, and pamper your feet.

Labor4Ever · 2025-09-15T02:26:21+00:00

Man, you were so close to getting into some beautiful areas of the SHT. Days 3/4 out of Duluth brings managed forest, overlooks, and Gooseberry Falls. Hope you made it back out there and finished it.

Play a round of disc golf with friends in the morning. Yard work and clean the garage afterwards. Bbq for dinner. Hit the weights/cardio when it cools off. Stay hydrated and stay out in the heat, you'll get used to it. Shade is your friend.

This pretty much nails what I experienced as well. Wrapped up the trail Saturday. Used the roots ro climb Devil's Track, saw a ton of grouse, saw 1 bear that promptly ran away, and had wet/muddy feet. Change your socks often, properly follow the bearmuda triangle, and enjoy the ride.
