Your Absolute Must Need

Lol!! When I was younger, I did that with a can of Beanie Weenies down in the coal fields of southern WV. Drilling rig had a 6V92T as a deck engine at that time. We later put a 6V-71 on it that had a fresh rebuild. I put that can up on the exhaust without a steam hole, it was a learning experience for sure. After it exploded my options for food was bananas and potato chips. As my uncle Lester use to say, that’ll break ya from sucking eggs…..

This is the rig with the replacement engine.

I kinda miss those rigs sometimes. I’ve made those engines scream for 2 days non stop drilling Elog holes, and 20” diameter vent holes down into the mine shaft. I drilled an emergency (non life threatening situation) hole from the top of the mountain down in to the shaft, drilled on down in the floor about 4 feet with my 8 3/4” pilot hole. Delivered the 20” tri cone bit to the mouth of the mine and they carried it in with a loader and set it upside down in the pilot hole. After removing the pilot bit I sent the drill steel back down with a thread protector in the end, and the miners lined up my drill steel so I could screw it together. I reamed it out on the way back up. The cuttings just naturally fell to the floor, and while I took a rod off and got screwed back together they removed the cuttings….

 

Just for a visual….?

 

Satellite Radio, Instant Pot and a good mattress & pillow that works for your body.

 

This is a must need.

 

wet wipes!

 

get a Nespresso! I promise it’s sooo much better than the keurig. Coffee comes out like a legit artisan coffee shop

 

Bluetooth connection for phone on radio unit, #1 most important thing, no tunes/books/podcasts (in that order) would have me going insane within a day or 2

 

My daily edc bag has most of things. (Gun, cash, flashlight, paracord, zip ties, 2 go pros one with a head mount I use when I roll onto accidents for legal protection)

my truck has just about every tool to rebuild an engine, and swap any suspension/tires

dash cam, cooler, spare dip in case I run out of my nicotine vapes, wet wipes, camp bucket

im home daily, so no need for a lot

 

I bet you have this one.

 

Palin is better.
