I don't want to sound mean, 'cause that is a pretty funny pic/caption, but with an attitude like that, I think you would die in Australia. Or at the very least, your attitude about touching things would change VERY quickly. I hear that the Box Jellyfish (A common sight on Australian beaches) has virtually invisible tentacles that are described to have one of the most painful stings in the world.

Aussyland would be terrifying and wonderful all wrapped into one. Same with many of the lush jungles on the planet. Everything is so deadly. Hell there's a caterpillar in south america that will basically kill you if you brush by it.

 

I do have a knack with animals though. I've gotten away with some crazy stuff. I could probably have managed to pet the crown of the jellyfish but I had a nagging feeling/memory that some jellyfish have stingers all over. I pet random bees/wasps and have shushed a police dog with one syllable. Actually I think honeybees even like the warmth so long as you don't mess with their wings. I've done work in a vet clinic, spent most of my teen years in a forest/swamp catching all manner of life. I can read animals from my ecosystem pretty well. I'm not worried about cougars/bears when I go hiking since I know what to do if/when I've encountered them. (I've encounter bears while hiking, never a cougar though.) Canadian west coast is familiar. The dangerous stuff tends not to be poisonous so much as big and toothsome. The venomous stuff can be avoided if you know where not to be.

 

...You won't catch me petting a black widow or brown house spider.

 

If I was visiting somewhere that to me is exotic? Different story... Wouldn't be home turf where all my natural instincts give me confidence.

 

I mean, even platypus have venom in their spurs. Everything in that bloody continent has venom. >.< And I'd love to pet a platypus! (Who wouldn't really.)

This now means that I have to share one of me. Cornered by trixy womens. I was hoping to avoid this and remain the generic avatar dude

 

Of course! Your wife did it, now so can you

Am I the only one who doesn't have anything red in my house  imperial palace?

 

I'm looking around right now and the only thing I can see red at the moment is a Scrabble Trickster box.

[Arkhne]

I quit smoking, and my hair is a LOT longer now, but I am OK with sharing this pic:

 

 

EDIT: There is red in my pic too... if you count the burning embers.

[Arktinen]

Omg, you're so beautiful! Glad you posted one too

Thanks. It felt a bit oddball for me to click 'Like' on your post for saying that, like I'm liking myself - but I did like it, so there it is.

Glad you decided to do it as well, this is a really good pic! You're a handsome fella xD

No need to think that way, I always like such posts myself as well, it's my way of saying thank you

 

And I'm really sorry guys but I've run out of likes for now, so I can't like your posts

[Arktinen]

Oh yeah, I have to say, as I've been thinking of this for a while since saw Salarian Master Race's pics earlier, that he and my husband look a lot alike - I think their hair colour is even the same (Arkhne's is even longer than mine, though). Honestly, you guys look more like brothers than his actual ones.

 

 

and now I'm out of all likes for the day, hrumpff

I always knew Salarian Master Race was a good looking guy

 

As to Mordokai, looks like you had a lot of fun. Slightly jealous, as those are some really good looking locales (I did a bit of hiking and stuff in Australia, but Australia is kinda "normal" looking for me now). Wife was more than a little disturbed by the heights in some of them, and I'd LIKE to tease her about that (Since I used to do rock climbing and stuff), but then she would be able to tease me about my problems with man-made structures (It's true, I have a serious problem with multi-story buildings and stairs and elevators and stuff, I trust nature more than man).

Nice northern pics! I used to do work out of Diavik Diamond Mine, not many people been that far north. (Google Lac de Gras if you want a specific location. I did work on the lake.)

You get in a good view of the northern lights/sundogs?

Arctic Survival, the holes you see being dug are our sleeping quarters for that night. =/

Ah this thread is making me nostalgic. What is this, BtM thread #5 or even #6?

 

Hope the grinchy mods don't see it!

If they do, I have the perfect pic for starting a new one. (My wife knows the one). It would be totally appropriate. Even if a little old.

[Jugger nuggss]

BEHOLD!!!

[Arkhne]

Dammit, why are all you BSNers so normal looking?! Where are the basement nerds? And the ugly people?!

 

I bet you all google searched your pics.

Course I'm looking at my old survival pics and have to post moar!

 

This was the kitchen.

 

And this was looking out the front door.

 

Here is the beginning of our stay. (Two snowmobiles and a sled to get us there.)

 

And here's where things started to go wrong.↓

We were in two man groups. I was with a woman that had claustrophobia. She wasn't able to help so I had to dig my cave solo.

 

Finally she wound up just saying, "No" she couldn't do it. So that left me on my own.

 

Another guy from a different group, and arguably the most well prepared and experienced guy there aside from the guide, wound up pushing himself too far and got deep frostbite in his fingers/hands. (They looked like they were melted together in spots when we saw him last. Easily the most brutal thing I've seen in real life.)

 

So that left me with a two man cave I had dug myself that I couldn't use, and a two man cave for the other pair.

 

We wound up using their cave. (It was much better.)

 

Later that night/morning the other guy wakes me up, says he's going to the guide cause he doesn't feel good. Guide winds up snowmobiling him back. I can't be in a two man cave myself, I'd possibly freeze to death in a cave with too much space. So eventually I wind up in the med tent cause there's just no where else to be.

 

We wake up, look around, and lo and behold what do I find?

 

...the cave I dug collapsed sometime during the night.

 

Yeah. If I had been sleeping in that cave I'd likely (very likely) be dead.

 

So then we start on our new homes for the next night. Ice Trench, you cut blocks about a meter long, .3m wide/deep. You start it very similarly to a proper igloo but it's a line not a circle.

 

After all that leaning over and sawing I get a tension headache. The type that can take me out for three days straight. So after a brief rest and a bunch of advil that didn't do a thing I get a snowmobile ride of jarring pain back to the mine, thus ending my trek on day 2 around 1pm iirc.

 

By that evening they called the entire survival training a wash and everyone came back a day and a half early after someone else had to bow out.

 

This is a picture of their saviour. (I was already gone by this point.)

Zoo pic? But that one is old! I remember posting that one in the original thread during the forum days of old.  I found the link to it on my old profile though.

Here are more recent ones though.

I slept through one, does that count?

 

Dammit, why are all you BSNers so normal looking?!

 

I think this is the first time I've been called normal... I feel insulted

This is what it is

The wife says I look like this




Our conversations many times look like this



But, this is what she is stuck with

Noshit, no lie, that's me and the wife minus the 2 daughters
