Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I have slept open air a few times when younger. I may or may not of been high on mushrooms and or though.
good ol days of being young and zero fucks

 

I do the same thing but with a cot. I like to be off the ground so the bugs can crawl under me and not across my face.

 

Well yeah. . But I want to go much quieter than stock

 

Well, got a interview at 1. For a steel company. Driving off-road dump trucks. 12hr shifts. And a union job. But also have 2 more interviews tomorrow.

 

pssst....they still crawl on you

 

So.... is the hike worth it? I’ve always wanted to climb Shasta.

 

I use the cabelas cot/tent and fucking love it. Takes two seconds to setup and fold back down... keeps me off the immediate ground, and only cost 100 buck off Craigslist from a gentleman who I think only used it once. Looked brand new.

 

Operating engineers?

 

Not sure. I'll check it when I get there. I know a few local 3 guys, always bitching about it.lol..its for a steel recycler at port of Oakland. But 6 12's doesn't sound like fun, but I've done longer.

 

if they're union they're bitching. Its part of the game.

 

Did the one time count?

Skeetskeet

 

One of the other jobs is in Benicia, for herc rents . Mechanic c/ yard dog. But close to house and better hours.

 

If it’s at the port it could be teamsters. The longest days I’ve ever worked were at the port cement treating and paving the lots. For 2 weeks we’d start at 5am and work till the portion we were working on was done. Sometimes till midnight then have to be back again the next morning at 5am. Brutal!

 

This sounds like the same thing, work til ship is loaded them back at 6 the next morning

 

Sounds like a longshoreman position. Good union. You’ll work your ass off though.

 

Cots are fantastic. We had one in Baja this year. It was super nice for sitting in front of the fire or on the beach under the awning as well as sleeping. I might pick one up for myself.

I think so. I've climbed it 4 times with 8 attempts total. The views are rediculous.

I keep going back for some reason. I'm doing the Thunderbolt to Sill Traverse in August. A friend of mine wants to come along. I told him to come on that trip first you have to show up to Shasta and put in an effort. I'm confident we'll make it to the top. I don't go there anymore unless I know I'm going all the way.

If you'd like more information I'd be glad to help out. It's a super fun hike. It stands 10,000 feet above the surrounding landscape. You can clearly see Lassen and beyond on a good day. The sunrise is beyond words.

Ugh...youtube upload dumbed my video down to 360p.

This is a downside for sure. If it's really buggy out I'll sleep in the tent.

 

Stevedore?

 

Schnitzer Steel, off road dump truck driver.

 

It's available in 1080p, when it's first uploaded it's still processing so only available in the lower resolutions.

 

You must have the single. I had the double at one time and it was super bulky to move around. But it was nice.
