Sexy Friday – 20240503

TGIF! Hope no one was arrested for protesting this week. Sure glad nothing embarrassing happened on the campus of my alma mater.

Survival – Personal Edition

This little guide is a little out of season, but let’s just agree it’s good training for next year. We’re talking, of course, about Canada’s Ice Road. The Ice Road lives in Canada’ Northwest Territories and cross their frozen lakes during the winter. The Ice Road is used to service the diamond mines up that way. One problem with an Ice Road is that it’s ice and those 70 ton trucks are a lot of weight. Sometimes, that means there’s a blow out which creates a truck sized hole and bye bye truck. Let’s try to survive the Ice Road.

• First, the best way to survive is to avoid a blow out in the first place. Go slow. As no more than 15mph slow. Okay, it’s Canada so 24 kph. Never stop as the concentrated weight and heat of the truck can cause the surface to crack. Finally, always stay in sight of your convoy and in also in radio communication.
• Now, you did your best, but things are going south. How do you know? You’ll see black water seeping through the surface of the ice. It’s at this point you’ll want to make sure your seat belt is off, the driver’s door is unlocked, and you’ll want to place a hand on the door handle.
• Do not brake. This can cause you to lose control of the truck by skidding or worsen the blow out by concentrating the weight of your truck. Instead, accelerate by a couple kph and try to get past the blow out safely.
• You did your level best, but now the front of your truck is crashing through the ice. Open the door and jump out. When you land, roll away from the truck as far as possible.
• Hopefully you’re all safe now. Stay put so you don’t get lost and await help from the next vehicle in your convoy.

Congrats, you are now fully qualified to be on the next season of Ice Road Truckers! Just kidding, that show ended in 2017. But it’s still a real job and who couldn’t use some extra winter cash?
