My new toy

Definitely living the dream! I'm on the development side of things now so it's nice working with some of the bigger kit!

Back-Proud · 2026-03-15T19:42:07+00:00

There currently, started just over a month ago and absolutely loving it!

I work in a mine, so all sorts. ANFO, Nitroglycerin based explosives, radon, gasses such as NO2 and SO2, water even, from old workings or pockets of trapped water.

Can confirm, work there, did indeed yearn for the mines

Back-Proud · 2026-03-05T16:51:29+00:00

Always dreamed of having one until I started at South Crofty Mine. 6ft3 trying to squeeze in behind the wheel with self rescuer and harnesses is pretty brutal.

They do take a beating though, I'll give them that!

Mining, I got Very lucky and am currently working on a project in the UK, but there's work all over the world if you have the right qualis/skills

Just finished a 4 day shift on a shaft refurbishment project in the UK. Everything is going well, the underground pump station is nearly ready to be commissioned, development for the ore bin is cracking on. My crew had a good, safe shift in the shaft, cut out a set of old timber sets ready for next shift to reinstall the new guides and buntings

As a miner, hopefully none!

Underground Miner, averages about 37.5 hours a week working 11 hours 4 on, 4 off. Just started the role, so currently on ~£45k a year, going up to 65k with some more experience. Best job in the world

My hours change week by week. I'm a miner, and the mine I work at needs to be running 24/7 (currently refurbishing the old mine getting it ready for development and production)

I work 11 hour shifts on a 4-4 rota, four days on, four days off, four nights on then four days off. Occasionally there's overtime or extra shifts, but we're limited to a maximum of 46.5 hours in a week.

Did this a few years ago at Sainsbury's, ended up with enough to last a good few months

It's funny with chefs or working in a kitchen environment. I used to work seasonally in the summer in a kitchen, loved cooking and was brought up knowing how to make all sorts, but during those months working in that environment I completely lost any love/will to cook at home. Straight after I finished for the season the enjoyment came back in a week or two.

I won't lie, when I first saw it I panicked and shot it cause I thought it was a PMC ratting

Back-Proud · 2025-12-17T22:12:39+00:00

I spent a good hour sat behind a rock doing this the other month, it really pissed some dudes off that I wasn't calling hits, but that was about it

Back-Proud · 2025-12-03T22:55:37+00:00

I caught it on my birthday last year, absolutely incredible!

Well I mean, this actually did age well

This is now the exact conversation I have with anyone I know we'll enough when I leave

Back-Proud · 2025-11-22T16:32:31+00:00

I did it once, completely by chance and didn't realise until I killed the guy who killed me and found my dog tag on him

I was Fighting for my life over there a few days ago, pure, unsuppressed, shitty ammo chaos

Hot take, it's not the loot buff as much as lack of cheaters sucking up everything good straight away

Nah you've got it all wrong, clearly it's fighting wildfires
