  2. That's my stage name
  3. I consider myself a feminist. I try to treat women exactly the same way I treat men. If a man slapped me in my face, I'd knock the shit out of him. Welcome to being treated equally.
  4. Denali Borough, Alaska
  5. Seeing quite a few nice caribou racks in the back of trucks on the highway the past couple of weeks. The weather has finally taken a cool turn and Fall is in the air. Couple of buddies have had good luck sheep hunting. Those full curl Dalls are a tough catch. Moose season starts Sept 1.
  6. Buy the .38 and load it with good quality personal defense +P rounds. My wife's bedside pistol is a S&W model 60 stainless. It was my father's backup pistol when he was a street cop. She is recoil sensitive and she can turn you from a rooster to a hen in one shot with the thing.
  7. My typical response is to throw an upside down bird back their way. Their reaction to that usually gives me a chuckle
  8. At least two. I'm a man of the Dudeist cloth as well.
  9. I know I'm splitting hairs here, but Undertow was their first album. Opiate was an EP. Both rule.
  10. What's up with the people jumping on him at the end? He was done. He wasn't going in for the beat down. He was backing away. None of their fucking business. I hope he beat the shit out of them too.
  11. If you truly hate the cold, Interior Alaska is not for you. Normal Winter temps are anywhere from 20 to 40 below zero, with a few 50 and 60 below days mixed in. The coldest I've seen was 72 below. The Northern Lights make the cold worth it. If you've never seen them, layer up and get outside. They are otherworldly. The wolves are my favorite critters in the woods. For some reason they speak to my soul. Grizzly bears are a close second. It's always a thrill to see a bear.
  12. The Winters can be a challenge. It gets cold...very cold. But after 13 years this native Texan has acclimated. I can write pages about where and how we live. Anything in particular you are interested in?
  13. It's an amazing place. Driving home from work last night I saw 2 caribou, 2 moose, and a grizzly bear along the highway. A good night for critter viewing. If you ever get up this way, give me a holler. I can give you the locals tour. My wife and I live off the grid if that type of thing interests you. We can throw some moose back strap on the grill and listen to the wolves. Thanks for the pics. That goes for everyone who posts their shots.
  14. Denali Borough, Alaska. About 40 miles Northeast of the entrance to Denali National Park.
  15. Love the wolves. We have 2 packs that are currently competing for territory close to our cabin. You can hear them talking shit to each other almost nightly. My current evening routine is to sit out on the porch with a couple of fingers worth of Jameson's, smoke a bowl, and listen to them howl at each other.
  16. Friedrich Lane I believe. My first lab job out of UT was in the same office complex. It was a shithole.
  17. I'll put strychnine in the guacamole.
  18. Incorrect. There's a freeway shot in the beginning from DFW, but it was mostly filmed in Austin. The Peter and Joanna car scenes were filmed on Metric Blvd. I used to live in the apartment complex they kept passing.
  19. It's about 19 miles from the bus to the trailhead at Eightmile Lake. The Parks Highway is, as you can guess, eight miles further. You can drive to Eightmile with a 4WD pickup or SUV. It's a popular party spot. The road goes to complete shit after Eightmile. It's a tough slog in the summertime. Most locals only use the trail in the Winter for dog sledding or snow machining. There are a few traplines out that way, which once again are winter time activities. The biggest obstacles are the two rivers you have to cross to get out there, the Savage and the Teklanika. In the winter, the rivers are frozen and you can cross them. In the summer, they are vicious and dumbasses drown trying to get out to where the other dumbass starved. It's fucking beyond me.
  20. He was a fucking idiot. He had zero business being out there. I live about 40ish miles from where the magic bus used to be. The state removed it recently, but it won't stop other fucking idiots trying to get out to where it used to be...more Darwin Awards will be handed out. Ma Nature gives zero fucks.
  21. Haven't read the whole thread, but I'd recommend a Honda. Very portable, very reliable, and very quiet. We have a Honda EU2000i that we use just about every day to run the Nespresso machine and charge things up (My wife and I live off the grid in Alaska). I don't think they make the 2000 anymore, I believe it is now a 2200. About a $1000 dollars or so. It's best for long term storage to empty the fuel tank, but if you put some type of fuel stabilizer (like HEET) in the tank the fuel should be good for a year or so.
  22. 110 in growing up in Abilene, Texas -72 Denali Borough, Alaska The first Chinook I experienced up here the temp went from -58 to 49 above in about 45 minutes. Still the weirdest weather phenomenon I've ever experienced.
  23. I'm truly sorry that I didn't live up to your message board standards, ma'am. I'll try harder next time.
