why do you have to be an idiot to watch the show ?Last edited by a moderator: Aug 25, 2008

Well, never having driven north of the goldmine at Stewart, BC (unless you count Lac laRonge, SK) I certainly don't have the same experience you seem to Wildkat. My hat's off to you for the ice roads and the fact that you spend a lot of time in the real weather. However; just because I haven't made it that far north, doesn't mean I or others don't know a thing or two about driving in real weather. I used to haul cyanide to various mines in the NW US and Canada and was climbing 14.5%+ grades weighing in at 105,500 lbs. I wanted to get up there and do some running on the ice roads, but the mine in Dees Lake closed before I got the chance and I missed it by a few weeks.
You have some neat pics in the gallery, there. I have a few, myself, that look similar, only there's terra-firma under the ice.
I have to admit; I watch the show and it drives the wife nuts because I pull it apart at every turn. It's like a train wreck. I just can't stop watching. I certainly don't consider myself an idiot for watching it, though. Maybe I am. -
I just get tired of some of these guys who've never been off a 4-lane interstate...well you know what I mean...nuff said...I'm no better, no worse, just different! I just can't stand what Hollywood has done for a good, well paying job & made it into something that it is not...makes me want to upchuck... and at least they could have hired some DECENT people to be on the show...good god...what proffession are they going to ruin next????

featured who? -
As far as Hollyweird is concerned, seems like more often than not they ruin whatever they get their hands on and completely misrepresent the subject. -
Yea wild cat id like some info on that ice road truckin~ id like to try it ~
-
Just please remember I run the far North, there's no truckstops, no phone service, no internet, so it may take me a few days to get back to you. -
Last week when I was in Whitehorse I picked up free WiFi while parked at the Airport Chalet. Picked up three sites. I don't know how long it has been available there as I never bothered trying before.
