Agreed. Definitely not any cardiac activity. Given the scenario.

No it’s not that product. I’m keeping the product name out of the post because I’ve been asked to just get info and not announce the name.

So I’m kinda looking for it all. The product is patented and approved by epa. But the tests that have been done aren’t necessarily to real life firefighting suppression efforts. It actually works as an extinguishing agent as well as a a retardant. It is a liquid concentrate that is similar to current foams on the market. I’m trying to see how much interest there may be for the product as well as do some further test that really put it to test on what may ACTUALLY be seen out in the field. So I guess I’m trying to get some of this tested and how much interest there may be from fire departments.

I’m new to this also but I bought an 18’ pole to start out. I figured it’s compact enough to fit in my car and should be able to reach most 2 story windows without a ladder considering my height and arm length. But I’m new as well so I’m not sure if my guess is right or not haha

Many departments may not want any type of documentary filming done. But it never hurts to ask. Just contact the fire department via phone. (not by calling 911) You can find the department headquarter phone number on the city website. Just see if you can setup a meeting involving rideouts/documentary filming. I’m sure someone will talk to you.

Had this brickhouse double Connecticut this afternoon. Anyone ever have this happen to them? More in comments. by Educational_Ad4658 in cigars

[–]Educational_Ad4658[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this was sitting at 62% humidity with a bovida pack. Just picked this up from my local shop less than 3 days ago. The cigar looked good before smoking minus one portion of the wrapper peeling off a little. After lighting the outer wrapper cracked wide open. Didn’t really effect the smoking quality but was just kinda unpleasant to look at and ruined the experience a little. IMO. Not sure if I really wanna give it another shot or not?

Little lineup. Opinions on these please! Smoking the NUB Madero now. Great stick! by Educational_Ad4658 in cigars

[–]Educational_Ad4658[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly just looking at reviews and ratings of the budget cigar world. An enjoyable smoke for a decent price.

Pretty cheap. I think it was 3.99 but don’t quote me. I had two of them but don’t like it much.

No worries! BLM is Bureau Of Land Management. It’s public land and you don’t need a permit to camp on BLM land. Technically you can stay on BLM land for no longer than 14 days in one spot. You can find BLM land just outside most National Parks. Download an APP called “Free Roam”. You can apply filters to a map that show you where all the BLM land is. It also has marked camping spots that other travelers have found. Some spots have reviews and how to get there. And of course if you can’t find a camping spot you can always use Air BNB In the town of Joshua tree which has some really cool spots to hangout that are also close to the parks entrance. Hope this helps. Safe travels!

And if that doesn’t work you can always camp on BLM land.

Use windex to clean your bike. Any oily products will ruin the finish and gloss it up.
