My Knipex pliers wrench is by far the coolest hand tool I’ve ever owned. Use it daily, wish I would’ve bought it sooner.

It’s the road up to Triangulation peak, kinda bumpy but they’re all logging roads. A compact 4x4 could make it, your bike would have plenty of room.

That’s good advice. My bike is a 2023 and it’ll have fresh knobbies with Nitro mousse foam inserts, and I pack pretty light as well so I should be able to put some miles down each day if everything goes smoothly.

The BDR routes are designed to be ridden on adventure bikes and the most difficult sections often have bypasses or are optional. I highly recommend checking out their website. If you check out their videos on YouTube as well, most of the riders are using heavy full size adventure bikes.

Tillamook state forest! I was riding in snow at the higher elevations

Juneau, Alaska is the states capitol and although it is surrounded by islands sits on mainland North America. Due to the geography there are no roads in and out, and the only access is via ferry or planes.

Awesome yeah that’s what I saw too, and the position requires an QMED electrician endorsement, I wasn’t sure if it needed to be watchstanding specific sea time to become an officer but I think I should be good

Seatime for non watch-standing roles?

I’m applying for an electrician position that day works underway and does not stand watch. I’m being told that non watch-standing roles do not gain sea-time towards your 3AE license. It was my impression that you gained seatime as long as you were working underway a certain amount of hours each day you would gain seatime. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have a ride to and from the ends of the BDR so I won’t be riding any more pavement than the BDR requires, from what I read they can handle some pavement as long as you keep your speeds moderate and watch the temps

Almost dead similar to my Camry, it would probably go for 4k in the PNW right now

We love wage transparency so much we literally all spent the last week posting our pay stubs. I don’t know of many other industries where people are that transparent but they should be.
