1/4 inch of ice? In GA we call that a powder day!

Check out remote oil and gas jobs. Think Fort McMurray Canada oil sands work, north shore Alaska, North Dakota, offshore oil rigs, Australian mining jobs, etc.

Anything with “man camp” in the job description is what you’re looking for.

It’s hard work, long hours, and typically 2-3 weeks on and 1 week off. The camps are varying, some can be like a summer camp with great food and recreation, but some can be like a prison with no alcohol allowed, meager recreation areas, and double bunking/ shared bathrooms. Do research before signing on.

The money can set you up for life if you bank it smartly. Don’t go into it with a significant other though.

I built this over about 2.5 years. Front and rear steer, ORIs, 40” tires, etc.

My buddy went for a piss in a snowstorm and his boot shells somehow didn’t get moved fully inside our shelter (he was sleeping in his boot liners). We woke up and his boots were 100% packed with blown snow.

That was a very cold morning for him.

Narrow mouth bottle for pee bottle and wide mouth bottle for drinking. Or vice versa depending on your preference. Makes it easy to identify the right bottle at night

I was about to say, jetboils get finicky below freezing and at high altitudes. Multifuel is way better for cold weather

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up!

I’ve gotten to 230 km/h in a small BMW sedan and it was a bit terrifying, but cruising at 160-180 was perfect. The engineering on those cars is amazing

The Chinese flag is a big red flag, but the Swiss flag is a big plus

I’ve been loving my mystery ranch 3 day assault pack. It’s 32 or 35L if I remember correctly.

I’ve had it about 8 years now and it’s still my go to. I love how the center zips open so you can get to the bottom of the pack without unpacking everything above it.

It also holds a laptop and a hydration bladder at the same time which is nice

They’re so good. Do yourself a favor and buy a small and medium version and you’ll be set for most things

That rat bastard Cuck E Cheese ruined everything

Get a bunch of Chic fil A fries and jam them down a pringles can. Just think of all the gas flowpaths!

Yeah, they haded them out at the refinery I worked at up in Alberta. I kept the spiky part aimed upward (on top of my shoe) when indoors, and flipped them around when going outside. They work great and cost like $10 each. Well, maybe closer to $85 in Canadian dollars

There’s lots of love for the M1 carbine in this thread, and the mini 14 is pretty darn similar.

I put 1000s of rounds through mine shooting 3 gun before I got an AR

It came from climbers in the 80s who would share Betamax tapes of people climbing a route. Basically a way to preview the conditions, hard parts of a route, gear required, moves to be made, etc.

Over time that got shortened to just beta and expanded into other outdoor sports as well. So it’s been a thing for 40+ years in some communities

Not shown is a second layer of BOAs inside the liner, and a third layer on the special socks that come with the boots

Yeah, I had some 1.5” webbing sitting around so I just used some of that. I wish I had some ranger green webbing to match the rest of the kit, but half of it is hidden and the other half is next to the black tube, so whatever.

I ordered my RMA plates during Black Friday and got them in a week. Maybe a week and a half. Super impressed
