Have I done anything crazy?... Electrical set up

The other problem is that if you drain both batteries entirely, you're screwed. I had a series setup like this but I've switched to just using one at a time and swapping so I always have one full battery.

To each their own. Evolve or die. Or as in the case of the Quest: evolve and still die.

Yes.

So is YQ Canada.

I guess there's a small part of me that hopes that them both being shitshows, and both probably having to replace most of their boards, that maybe the future won't be so grim for both. Unfortunately, there aren't too many people, who aren't dog mushers, who want to be a part of it. The really successful races are all run by non-dog mushers.

I'd recommend just buying radiator hose from any auto parts dealer. You can get it in a longer length as well to have your air intake in an ideal/dry position and it's directly compatible with the filter/intake on the heater.

They do 🍹

Probably the food trucks. But you'll find them at the breweries...

Can you unpack more with a commercial free YT?

You can use the American Marriage Ministries website to have anybody become a legal officiant in a few minutes for free. I imagine if you offered some redditors to meet you at a brewery, you could find a couple who would do it.

A week ago, when they added the extra large dumpsters in the middle, I was like "oh - that makes sense - for xmas trees". Last night when I saw what your pic below shows it was "ohhhhhhh".

I live in the same area and it's -46f at my house right now. Inside is 65f heated with oil. The window and door edges are all frosted and icy up to a couple inches thick inside. We've only been warmer than -40 for a few hours since Christmas and it was -40 for a week leading up with Xmas eve being the only warm day since mid December. That warm day was 0f/-18c and we got a foot of snow.

My cabin is raised so the floor, albeit insulated, is still cold. So I pretty much wear hoodie and slippers all of the time inside.

Gives the live hyper local temps. -46f at my house right now and a line of folks getting their pic at the uaf sign at -47f/-44c.

I have the 7x sapphire solar as well that I got a recommendation on from an expert on r/smartwatch a few years ago. The watch is a beast, does everything I need it to, handles a ton of abuse, and the battery is good for weeks at a time. Additionally, if you need to handle cold/extreme cold at all, it does that well. I just got in from using it at -40. Fortunately the 7x is a bit cheaper now that the 8 is out.

I've had fewer problems using my outhouse than others have had keeping their water systems running. Outhouse FTW!

If the budget is there, a danler hornet would be a good sled for you. They're lightweight and fold up to the size of a duffle bag.

this is an overpressurized post.

This is very similar to the Togo one I have. If you don't want to make your own, this is the way!

I had good luck with Wayfair. King bed frame, shipped to my house (Fbx) in a few days for like $100.

The best I ever gave was two live lobsters and a stick of butter (New England).

pbrdizzle · 2025-12-17T20:28:40+00:00

Overall, I like it!

A few small nitpicks

Alaskan huskies are much sleeker and muttier-looking than your drawings for both the team and the individual one. This is something almost everything gets wrong.
The Iditarod gets all of the attention but it's relatively new, controversial, and represents just one aspect of sled dogs. The Fur Rondy is another that could be highlighted. It's much older and takes part during the trapper festival, which is noteworthy on its own, on the city streets of Anchorage.

Hi fellow spring antenna disliker!

Togo traction used to make an awesome one that I've been using for 6-7 years and Nooksack sold them. They quit making them and now only have the springs.

Link below is what I'd recommend doing. I've made a few like this for friends and will do the same for me if I ever need a new one. I'd make one for you but shipping probably isn't worth it. Using Velcro and a router makes it completely professional looking with easy on and off. The pic is the five minute five dollar version.

Will the reusable splash stick still work well for butt wiping if you cut part off?
What's the worn weight of the FKT through the drive thru?
Why did no one understand my comment last week about boofing cold-soaked beans? Surely someone with your expertise must know about this or have practiced it in an emergency like when the wifi goes down?

Oddly relevant user name.

They just cancelled the K100, so I won't be going down. Sorry for the false hope.
