>>2859896I'm glad you appreciate the posts.
1. I grew up in a part of the states that has a lot of mining. I spent a lot of time in the hills hunting, shooting, picking pinenuts, and just fucking around. I also spent a lot of time learning the history of these areas.
2. I have had a few close calls. Tangled up on rope while ascending a 300-foot vertical shaft. I got tangled up at about 250 feet.
Found what i thought was a newspaper in a bore hole, once i grabbed the bottom of it i realized it was a deteriorated stick of dynamite that didn't go off.
Ive had rungs of ladders give way while climbing.
3. I'd rather not say.
