Colorado B.S. Thread

ABC is what most general use extinguishers will be and are fine for automotive applications. The joke is, in a real fire you'll need a fuckton more than 1. I'd recommend at least 4 to be useful. Either way, you'll likely just make the marmot more angry and he'll just start so many more fires, it will be helpless.

 

I have this one on the work truck

I hear Weston pass likes to sacrifice vehicles this way

 

Any one know where to get this CO sticker!?

 

I forgot you’re new here... sorry

 

This was around the start of it.

Trying not to end up like Brandon. All I did when I found out about that was give him shit every chance I could so figure I'd give it a break

 

So like a 1.5g for the cab and then a 2-3 gal for the bed?

 

Back in my Army Flying days they told the crew chiefs their fire extinguisher is to put the "Pilots out", not to spray on whats on fire.

On another note, I had front row seat when someone "accidentally" set off the hangar deluge system. 10' of foam in 60 seconds was very impressive, rave or no rave. At least it was warm out to wash off the 12 Apaches covered in it.

 

Sounds good, thanks Mike!

In all honesty I figured a small 1.5Gal might be enough if you don't dilly dally when you think you have a fire and catch it early.

 

Just not the foam you want to play around in! Safety tests like this are keeping engineers/scientists in my profession employed for a long time. PFAS from fire fighting foams are the new TCE from dry cleaners - getting it out of the water supply is quite the task.

 

At work they some systems on some buildings that are giant tanks filled with some liquid combination meant to neutralize chemicals. Supposed to be able to "fill" the room to the top, then it all drains out after the chemical is brought to a neutral PH or something like that.

We had one go off a while back, not sure if it was a malfunction or not, and I asked the fire inspector "What was in that room anyways?" he said "Dunno, but it ain't there no more"

 

Is there a Colorado Fly Fishing thread? Quick search didn't come up with anything.

I don't really have any questions yet. Just starting out collecting gear to have some catch and release fun. Likely combine trips with wheeling.

 

If there is, @CO MTN Steve would know of it

 

Nothing specific to here but there is a general one for TW

@Squeaky Penguin & @odomandr Fly Fish
@Deathbysnusnu I think fishes to.

 

Yep. I probably spend more time out with the fly rod these days than with my truck. But wheeling/fishing trips are the best.

Been out at the local tailwaters the last three weekends freezing my ass off, but catching fish.

 

I'm working on the Visiting Colorado thread today, added a Fishing section in there.

Are you able to come up with some general info I could throw under it? I have a couple links/maps for the time being. Not asking you to give up any special spots or anything

 

That was one thing I was curious about, where does all that stuff drain to? Or does it just sit there until someone like that rig comes along to suck it up

 

I be my housemate would take you out in trade for some work towards regearing
