I think the jury is still out on weather or not your innocent.

EDIT: I just saw the other posts.

 

Oh you were talking about a TV show and I was talking about reality.

 

no I was talking about reality too, I was just refeering to the Show so that you would know what ice roads i'm talking about. I'm talking about the Yellowknife Ice roads, I dont know what you do but those guys just drive.

I know a few guys that were up there this winter as well a last winter.

like last year in manitoba--when the roads went out with the trucks still on them--yes i am sure those poor guys only had to drive their truck--right---they had to survive as well --do you really think you just drive?
if you break down there is a chance you could die before help came along--what???think you are going to hail a cab???
there is a vast difference between tv and actually being in the cold

 

I don't know abut dyeing. You will just have a long and uncomfortable delay.

Sure you can get away with not being a mechanic, but who wants to wait two days for a mechanic to get there.

These roads generally have enough traffic on them that you won't be stranded for days on end if it came down to that.

 

It's not impossible to do it on your own at your size. I am 5'2" and weighed all of 105 lbs when I was driving, and I was a solo driver!

 

Quick piece of advice about Hoods--in case you haven't been told already--you don't have to pull them over--you might find it much easier-to start back at the cab--and use your legs to push the hood over--of course you must be careful--because this can also cause you problems but IMHO opinion--it is safer and easier--and yes it is how I HAVE DONE it since I got in my first long hood in 1977!
