I’m wondering here should they be called Head Camps and not Base Camps?

Imagine the lad who discovered that. You’d want to be fucking crazy.

You’d get the willies just thinking about what can go wrong

Terrifying

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada.

And Columbus Day in the States

Always the second Monday in October. I remember being in Prince Rupert or one of those places in BC one year and not a fucking place opened. Think my dinner was a few bars from a vending machine.

Waiting for Cheasty to attack you …

A great day for sure.

It’s amazing we made it this far.

At one stage after an eruption there were about 3000 humans left I read once.

Toba eruption. They reckon that, within months, average global temperatures had dropped somewhere between 5 and 15 degrees.

We’d need at least 3 SUVs each to get over that one.
