one summer I was building firelines in the Idaho wilderness and we made our camp in a clearing at the top of a smallish mountain we were working. my gf and I had pitched our tent behind this other kids van to take advantage of its shade during the day that night the worst lightning storm I've ever seen happened. lightening was hitting the ground all around us outside the tent. trees were exploding and the air smelled like fire and ozone. the van we were camped next to was close enough that if you pushed your hand hard enough on the tent wall you could touch it. when lightening struck the van, I'm not even kidding I could see everything perfectly through my eyelids, which where clenched shut bc by this point my ex and I were clinging to each other screaming and crying and wondering what we'd done to deserve this impossible judgement it was fine nobody died but the kid in the van said the glow in the dark stars on the van ceiling stayed lit up all night so bright he couldn't sleep after it was one of the scariest things that's ever happened to me though and we left the next week e: im busy getting ready for work but please pretend I went through and corrected my spelling and autocorrect errors Lil Cunty fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Oct 9, 2015

dogcrash truther posted:I want to know everything about this for...uhh...halloween when I will pretend to be a fireline builder I used to be a preschool teacher so I had summer's off. my ex and I would always work at the pea factory in the summer during harvest but they shut it down so we didn't have anything to do for a few months one year so we got jobs with a Panamanian contractor who built firelines in the woods and mountains. It basically entails clearing 500 ft wide lines through the forest so if there is a fire it doesn't spread out of control. there were big guys on our team who could do ax work, several little guys and my ex who operated the chainsaw, and an old guy with one eye who was too weak to cut trees down so me and him cleared brush and undergrowth with a machete bc I am also small and weak it wasn't very glamorous but I was in the best shape of my life I hated it though I kept finding poops that smelled like huckleberries and then I found the bear who made the poops and almost made one myself. to this day the smell of huckleberries sends an icy chill down my spine true story
