Brian's Winter is probably more appropriate than Hatchet for this thread. Except I think in that book, Brian had a gun...

It's been about 15 years but IIRC the firing pin broke fairly early in the book. Or fairly soon after he retrieved stuff from the plane.

Last parts I ordered from the US (CT) went to Kentucky, alaska, Korea, China, Singapore then perth. No idea why my items needs to circle the pacific in it's entirety. Who the gently caress send things to China to get lost in that quagmire of outgoing items? Why did it need to go to alaska of all places?
E: It was sent UPS BTW

When I order stuff from the west coast USA it's usually to sydney, then here, and takes 4 days. (Or singapore then perth), normally using fedex.

Maybe they drove most of the way? :v:

That's kind of what I was thinking. Although it's gonna be a tough sell getting people here to pay rent on a patch of grass on top of everything else :v:

Did he elaborate at all as to why he was upset? I know how small towns are, maybe there are people murmuring about how he's got a crazy dude(no offense 14!) camped out on his property now and he's not too happy with how that looks.

Have you tried calling the bank to ask why the debit card hasn't shown up?

Yeah at this point there's something else wrong. USPS doesn't take this long to send a letter anywhere in the US so it's either lost or they haven't sent it.

In florida you'd use that for boar hunting. I'm not sure there's much spear hunting game in Nebraska.

There's antelope out west, maybe the occasional mountain lion. A few bighorn sheep. Prepare to be assraped by a game warden if you kill any though.

It's hosed up reading about people in coastal cities paying $3000/month for like a sleeping bag inside a garbage can. You can get a 4 bedroom newly constructed house in a really nice part of town for $1500/mo here. And our minimum wage is $9/hr.

Just remember, Bank of America once asked a dude with no hands for a thumb-print. He offered a toe-print, but they refused. I cannot rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such behavior.

I imagine it was less confusion and more "them's the rules and I'm too lazy to contact someone who can tell me what to do when the rules ain't working." That or the entire organization is so pants on head retarded that there's no one who can even be asked what to do in that situation.

Plans had to be modified and executed given materials on hand and available windows of opportunity. The alternative puts us outside the window of extraction, leaving me with no license on a bike in Nebraska with winter closing in. It's already getting below freezing at night, we gotta get it out while we still can and everyone's schedules cooperated

Yeah you really don't want to be outside during the winter/late fall. Any later than this and you're going to start freezing your balls off even if you were well equipped. I think you're making the right call to pack up for warmer climes.

Just please make sure the drat thing doesn't fall off the trailer.
