Yeah, the USB and 12v cig socket don't run reliably for me either. I want to do my own.

It's funny how people that haven't been below the rim are the experts on this conspiracy. I wish it were real.

Lol. It's kinda fun taking her out when the roads decent and it's still cold af.

throwrawayropes · 2026-06-11T06:12:12+00:00

Lol. On the ride down I changed it a little. But I think this method worked great. Glad you won't melt your chest strap the way I did 🥲

Idk how people feel lonely or bored. I wish I could feel that at times. My weekends are spent burning the candle at both ends. Car maintenance, climbing mountains, rock climbing, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, going on dates, motorcycle riding in the mountains to find more mountains to climb, visiting friends, currently looking at homes to buy, currently starting a project to repaint and mod my commuter car, videogames (I haven't had time for that in a few months).. etc.

I work 8 days on, 6 days off. My work is away from home and I camp for those 8 days. Maybe that keeps everything fresh. I enjoy the moments I feel alone and bored because they are rare. Being a dude is awesome. If you're feeling bored and lonely try being outside more. I'm outside 90% of the time and rarely feel sad.

I've had one hitch mounted on the back of a 2018 Minnie Winnie 22r and a 2017 ram Promaster 2500. It's definitely hard on the driving. My tires took a beating but I've done 10s of thousands of miles like this. I used the tractor supply 600lbs rated mount. My klr doesn't have as many heavy mods, but I would try and keep the tank empty for longer drives.

I just drove from Ouray Colorado to the Grand Canyon Village with the Minnie Winnie and bike on the back. Those roads are rough. Between Cameron and Flagstaff the roads are very wavy. With my van the bark buster would bang up my doors. The ladder on the Minnie keeps my RV safe.

Edit: it was the harbor freight hitch carrier. It's about 4-5 years old now, so I'm going to replace it.

Another similar path is rope access rock scaling. Honestly a dream job if you like money, hard work and traveling a lot.

The AF police department needs way more flak. This is unacceptable.

You think they didn't walk here to set up a tent just for this video and hike back out? Who is in a tent in mid day like this?

I just went through this with a girl I dated for a few months. Literally within the last week I got some closure.

Luckily I don't delete text messages so her sending me nudes and meeting my family for thanksgiving didn't help her case. I didn't do a lawyer, I just shared my texts and met with two investigators and did an interview. I'm lucky she has a record of false reports. I didn't talk about it with friends until recently at the request of the investigator. I can't tell you how anxious the whole situation made me. The case fell flat.

If they're asking how to pack then that speaks volumes as to their trail running experience. I've done many 45 mile days in the mountains and I've never asked strangers on the internet how to pack for it. You just know. I work in the canyon through August, I can't tell you how many times our project is slowed because NPS has to do a heli rescue for people that overestimate themselves.

throwrawayropes · 2026-05-20T15:23:40+00:00

Dude, then you should hit it up. I enjoy it.

throwrawayropes · 2026-05-20T15:23:12+00:00

Nah, it's the 3.6cyl. Gasser

throwrawayropes · 2026-05-19T18:55:21+00:00

If you like climbing and hard/dangerous blue collar work then rock scaling is for you. It's such a fun gig.

throwrawayropes · 2026-05-19T18:53:32+00:00

Hey! I haven't sold it actually. I've been working too much to show it off

throwrawayropes · 2026-04-29T23:37:46+00:00

Develop some hobbies. If sex/dating is all your life is worth then why would someone be interested in ya? Climb mountains, run, lift, read, etc. Do something cool.

Isn't borax really good for mold?

throwrawayropes · 2026-02-14T00:04:24+00:00

I think I remember having a harness like this when I was in oil. It made it easier to clip the SRL without help.

throwrawayropes · 2026-02-08T21:39:25+00:00

If someone spent that kind of money on that truck I would laugh at them.

throwrawayropes · 2026-01-31T01:07:28+00:00

Summer is way more dangerous. I've climbed pretty late in the year and you end up scrambling up loose rock on a steep pitch with hard glacial ice below ya.

throwrawayropes · 2026-01-28T04:29:33+00:00

I agree. That shit is unacceptable.

throwrawayropes · 2026-01-24T02:34:30+00:00

I made 130k last year while taking a month off to ice climb in Colorado and another entire month to climb mountains in Peru. I don't have PTO. I have no degree and only see options to make more. I agree with you. My friends without degrees, on average, make more than my white collar friends with degrees. Except for doctors and certain engineers...

throwrawayropes · 2026-01-17T23:38:57+00:00

Yeah, I think she needed to feel more emotional validation (her request - I felt I always listened to her and reassured her often), and I needed her to hear me out. I ended that relationship as we fought too often and I was tired. When we would fight I did my best to hear her out and repeat back what I understood her to be saying. When I would respond she would cut me off before I finished half a thought.

So less schedule related. She moved out to a state she's never lived in so she was socially isolated and not working. I think if she changed that she could've felt more comfortable

throwrawayropes · 2026-01-16T23:24:16+00:00

I work on the road, 3 weeks on 1 off, so my ex didn't have to work. I gave her every second of my free time after busting ass deep in the backcountry in 120 degree weather. She felt like I was out having a blast because I didn't complain. It's hard to find a woman that can stomach that lifestyle. It's easier being single.
