Ice road trucking

No problem! My sig line use to be 'Dynamite comes in small packages, Nitro comes in smaller ones . . . take your pick!'

 

Im talking about the same ice roads from season one of the tv show they don't have to do sheet but try to stay alive when they break down

Yes its LIFE threatening , hard to stay alive in a MOCK breakdown ( any season of IRT ) along with the support vehicles and film crew that tag along with the TV stars.



In real life you are by YOURSELF in areas with no Cell or SAT service and not always running in a so called CONVOY. Having the ability to FIX a few things could be a life saving ability.

 

you get stranded in blizzard--with a broken truck---sorry nobody is coming for you--and it will get pretty cold--pretty quick if yu dont know what you are doing
that is why they try to run a few trucks together--not so they can be good buddys
when you get just even over the 49th--things change alot wether it is ice road or just highway

 

There are cell phones, radio, These do not WORK in all AREAS of the ARCTIC or in all weather conditions, in some storms you can be 10 feet from 3 other trucks and not even be able to see or hear them.

You can breakdown and freeze to death in North Dakota they same as outside of Yellowknife NWT or Nome Alaska.

 

Only one thing I have to say. ICE..ROAD..TRUCKER........This southern boy wants nothing to do with that combination!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

 

You cant "honestly" wait to drive on icy roads..? Honestly,I do not know what to think,-either you are very enthusiastic,very,very naive,or you ARE totally out of your mind.,or all of the above? Realistically,I would not worry about driving the ice roads for at least a year or two,concentrate on the lower 48 first. Good luck to U.

 

To bad you do not look at the WORSE CASE senario and prepare for that, worse case is no one knows anything happened to you and the weather conditions are such that there is no way to get to you if they did know.
