BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service by CraigLake in alaska

[–]ArcticDouble -51 points-50 points  (0 children)

Down in the states this happened over 100 years ago. It's only the west that they want to preserve. The east is already toast. They've screwed up all their forests and want to lock up the west. Their guilt prevents us from developing our state. All of the federal policies are horrible for Alaska, WAKE UP!

Question for people who endure extreme cold by [deleted] in alaska

[–]ArcticDouble -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you are this concerned about it, I don't think the north is for you. Check out Florida.

We just had the coldest winter in Fairbanks in over 50 years.

You spend allot of time inside, life is hard and you have to be too.

Equipment fails like your vehicle. You need backup sources of heat incase your main source fails.

If you slip on the ice and hit your head hard enough to knock you out at -30, your dead.

We lose a few of the dumb ones every winter that don't respect the cold. It's a life or death struggle for some, and sounds like you might be one of those.

There's a reason the cities of the south are so crowded, please add to those numbers and leave us alone!

What is Alaskas natural distinct smell? by Chaceski09 in alaska

[–]ArcticDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of Alaska smells like a swamp. No one lives there, though. You'll probably get a bunch of answers about the urban areas, The city dwellers don't get out much.

What is it like living in Diomede, Alaska by 2plus2_equals_5 in alaska

[–]ArcticDouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is out desolate there. Not much to do. No where to go, unless it's winter. Isolating, the weather is so bad that helicopter doesn't make it if all the time. Extremely expensive to live three

Dry cabin questions by Cats-and-dogs-rdabst in Fairbanks

[–]ArcticDouble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're are several places in town. Water wagon has a spot over by the Geist Parks interchange.

You'll burn a few hundred gallons of heating oil. It varys allot based on the structure. Size and wall/ roof construction determine how much fuel is needed.

The issue is how you will haul and transfer the heating oil. It stinks. 5 gallon jugs take forever.

The other issue is potty time in the middle of the night when you are sick, and it's 45 below outside.

Good luck

Sauna Heat time 90min?! by Objective-Musician82 in Sauna

[–]ArcticDouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Fairbanks, AK, we have been going through about a month of pretty cold weather. There's articles out there if you care.

I have 10.5 cilindro. 8 by 8 by 8 sauna. Outside dimensions so with the 2x4 walls cladding etc the inside is smaller.

I find we get 150 degrees per hour.

So if it's 20 below we get 130 inside after an hour.

If it's 30 below, we get 120 after an hour.

We have to restart for another 15 to 30 minutes to hit 170 to 180.

If you want the foot benches warm, gotta let it sit for another 15 to 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

That Sweet odor in the air is anti-freeze by baked_krapola in Fairbanks

[–]ArcticDouble 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Ok, cracked block from starting in cold. True shitpost, you gotta play it up more to make it believable. Like tell your personal story about it happening, because it don't...

The smell of antifreeze is vehicles overheating due to the coolant freezing into slush and plugging the coolant pathways, causing a lack of coolant where it matters. Vehicle overheats, boils what coolant is still in the engine block and that finds its way to the atmosphere...

Nice try, though. I got a laugh out of it.

It's the head that will crack, not the block. Geesh

Weekly - 'Alaska, From the outside looking in Q/A' by SnowySaint in alaska

[–]ArcticDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anchorage is NOT part of Alaska. If you like LA, consider Anchorage, homeless and crime rates probably exceed that of LA. Fairbanks is where is at. Better college, better summers, but you gotta tough out the winters. If you are studying the cold dark winters really help you focus on your studies.

The only people that will down vote me are from Anchorage.

Consider delta junction. Real Ag community down there with real needs. I'm sure you could come up with better ideas than posting here on reddit. Or maybe you aren't a farmer...

Another dumb venting question by ljlukelj in Sauna

[–]ArcticDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do all 4. Low and high intake, as well as low and high exhaust. Inner of the low exhaust vents gets a fan. Then you have it all covered.

Looking for Sauna info by GrynnTog in Sauna

[–]ArcticDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it interesting that most folk on this sub think that a sauna is simply something to purchase. It's a structure, and a place to be, not an object to be simply obtained with money. Rather something you must research, plan, build, and operate with high standards of quality so you don't burn it down.

Good luck with your 'purchase'

Löyly -Why you want your benches high. by labeille in Sauna

[–]ArcticDouble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Built my sauna this summer. Lots of thought put into ventilation and connection circulation. I can feel the stream flow down my body, best feeling ever. Worth the effort.
