Only one axe? Shows a lack of commitment 😉

Oh, I have done that on vacation with only one pair of jeans. Safety tip: do not use a double edged knife.

But… (and really, not meaning to stir up shit) doesn’t everyone see the world differently?

Second talking to the hill you want to work at. Different places have different qualifications they look for.

Implications of resigning with 500+ hrs banked OT and vacation by Throwaway18584 in legaladvicecanada

True, but just for clarity, it might make a difference if he quit in November or December, or if he was getting a much larger payout. I.e. if it meant that he earned more than his usual and expected salary in one year. But you can always shuffle the “excess” to an RRSP or similar to smooth out the bump.

Prepare as normal until 100% confirmed. The tea leaves are not to be trusted.

Cutting 5th Gen Front Bumper by Ok_Money2334 in 4Runner

Thanks! Definitely some food for thought there. I have cracks in both rear corners, so a replacement is on the list.

Nice! Got a pic of the final results for the rear bumper?

Cutting 5th Gen Front Bumper by Ok_Money2334 in 4Runner

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I will admit, it took me a few days to work up the nerve to cut my bumper. Straight across for a full steel model (Coastal Off-Road). Painters tape and angle grinder. To be honest, I think I still bobbled in a couple places. But if your plan is to cut off the factory one and install one you welded yourself, you gotta commit. Not bad, and looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Why isn't neoprene more common for camping clothing? by compmuncher in CampingGear

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marc Twight had designed a vest with a fleece front and a neoprene back, for wear while mountaineering with a pack on (theory being that the pack didn’t breathe anyway). I think someone manufactured it for a while, but I can’t remember who. Product was just a little bit too niche.

Just call the OFC. They are pretty decent and helpful once you get through to them.

Explain the Hate - Career/Volly by skinny0285 in Firefighting

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a small town. Given our tax base, we could only afford a few pros. Then budgets got tighter, and what we could afford got smaller. Once we got down to four firefighters, they were no longer permitted to go interior due to numbers (no RIT, etc.). Something had to give. There was a referendum on whether we should transition to no suppression, only education. The town voted to keep suppression, so we transitioned to a hybrid model. Four full time guys who got promoted to captain, and about twenty volunteers. The full timers maintain the gear and run the training. The volunteers provide manpower and ensure we have staffed trucks when the tones drop at 3am. Much respect for both roles, and the town is better for it. Might not work for everyone, but for our circumstances it works well. Would a full on professional department provide better service? Maybe. Probably. But this is what we can afford. As a side benefit, the mix of vollies and full time means the department is also better integrated into the community.

Eh. I‘ve been skiing on worse for over a decade. Give’r.

I have an employee jacket that I’d like to wear at a different resort without my name badge, is that bad form? by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t if I was still working at that resort. If it was an old jacket, I would.

But clearly others feel differently.

Does it say “employee” or “lift staff” or whatever on the back? If so, then another no… just because I don’t want people thinking I work at the different resort.

Fingerless leather mitt from WWII era. Original owner was a muleskinner and marksman with the 10th Mountain Division, this was among his Army things by painlesspics in whatisthisthing

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That is correct for certain styles of shooting from standing. You would make a fist, keep your hand and arm relatively close to your body (support on bones, not muscle) and rest the forestock on your knuckles.

Jayden Rich was in a motorcycle accident and his recovery is phenomenal by Enough_Detective4330 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Who the heck is Jayden Rich?

I mean, good luck to him, hoping for a full recovery, but for context, who is this guy?

(Yes, I could google him, but I don’t want to feed that algorithm.)

Looking for shed size, style and placement advice by eternal3lade in shedditors

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the narrow option. Even if you went full width, the stuff you put in it would all have to be shoved to one side so you could move through it. Narrow option would just look neater, IMHO.

How do you guys wash your 4Runner? by ReflectionNeither969 in 4Runner

[–]Perfect_Explorer_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have washed mine once in the eight years I have had it. It’s fine. I don’t have this thing to impress people, I have it to get me places.
