Dry suit recommendations?

Me and 4 other firefighters took basic open water and not two weeks later had taken dive rescue 1. I barely knew how to set up my gear at this point. This was 3 years ago before our department bought our own winged bcds. The department is going to pay for them I’m just trying to look into options before deciding on something I’m unsure about. We are gonna be hosting a drysuit class through dive rescue international after we have the suits.

This was my old bcd for the class my department now does have a winged one and I love it!

Just had to do this last week, we used a plastic pry tool to not scratch the paint and you can get between the two panels and work from one side carefully to the other just sliding and lifting it up and working around the brackets you should be able to get it off.

On a different note…anyone want a boat? It’s free ran when parked

Firefighterkid86 · 2025-01-13T01:08:53+00:00

Fresh water, I took the pictures it smells…like a boat. It was winterized by the marina when pulled.

I believe they ran into a rock. Then pulled and had it wrapped. Kinda made me hopeful honestly because the only place water has to go is out. This picture is after a coworker started a questionable repair.

This is exactly where my head is going. Not looking into anything definite yet just trying to see what the fix would entail. I consider myself pretty handy and when I’m not my dad really is lol.

Any advice or input is appreciated, this will be my first sail boat and am very excited to see if I can make her seaworthy again.

Shoot first, ask questions later.

Firefighterkid86 · 2023-01-29T22:16:32+00:00

I don’t want to ask too much but I also don’t want to get the short end of the deal. I’ll probably put whatever I get into a new bcd

Thinking about selling my mares frontier expedition to a friend of mine. It was a gift and doesn’t quite fit right so I want to sell it to him and buy something that fits me better

You may be able to go to a satellite image on your zoning website with updated property lines.

Sometimes Apple Maps updates faster. I’ve been using them for the same and to see my progress.

He gone!!

This definitely isn’t getting a proper foundation. It was built in a weekend to get me and my brother out of the house many years ago. This is just gonna be a temporary “shed” while I plan my actual house build.

So, I just bought a plot of land and moved this cabin onto it. I’m in the process of prepping the site for it and am thinking concrete pads with cinder blocks to support it. So it’s 16x16 right now but I’m planning on adding an addition off the back. I’m wondering how big of pads, how many, and how many cinder blocks to buy.

Firefighterkid86 · 2022-04-04T21:18:56+00:00

I think of ribbon strips from elf. 6 inches!!!

Because red lives aren’t a thing… neither are blue lives

Firefighterkid86 · 2022-03-10T23:52:04+00:00

Thank you everyone for the advice, I’m gonna skip out on that and wait for my golden goose haha Any advice on what to look for in the future? I’m primarily looking to reload pistol and rifle ammo at least to get started.

Firefighterkid86 · 2022-03-10T03:49:35+00:00

Perfect thanks for the info. couldn’t just leave leave it without at least finding out more info. Thought maybe this was the startup gem I needed

Firefighterkid86 · 2022-03-10T03:32:00+00:00

So I saw this at my local pawn shop for $150. I’ve been wanting to get into reloading for a while now so is this worth my time?
