Yes, the tire will burn a fairly long time but if you don’t let the air out it might blow out. Loud pop and if you are too close it could hurt you.
Smoke will be dark black and it will burn about an hour depending on size of the tire and fire.
Best to wait until you hear a chopper or plane in remote country and then light the fire.
I will!
Who travels with 20 pounds of trail mix?
Well, I hope the husband is OK, but the cats or other critters may have picked him up. I worked in that area many moons ago, and there is a lot of nowhere to get into the middle of. The winter weather can be as bad as weather here (in North Dakota), especially at altitude, it just doesn't stay that way as long. A few hours is all it takes, though.
People watch too much television. They just plain don’t understand real life, and that nature is unforgiving. Out of touch with reality, and by the time they get back in touch with reality, it’s often too late.
I can't find the car article, but here are a couple of other vintage ones from the same period.
That is a brilliant idea! They had 5 tires they could burn one at a time, if needed.
Need to remember to let the air out first. Thanks.
There’s dangers lurking everywhere. It’s possible for the adventurous driver to get stuck from the operation of center pivot irrigation systems out on the section roads in the boonies in Nebraska. (That’s just a story I heard.)
LOL!
Unbelievable.
Thanks for the link.
Good to know and thank you. I always heard if you plan for something then it never happens. I’m not sure that is true at all but planning/having knowledge is never a bad thing.
You know it is very possible. Thanks for the chuckle.
Getting stuck in the boonies in Nebraska. Now THAT is frightening! You could die of boredom!
Just kidding. I’m a native of Nebraska myself...:-)
“Husband still missing...”
“Hmmmm... wonder what she ate for those 7 weeks out there?”
When they find his bones with barbecue sauce on them......will that be a clue?
Overcriminalization such as that is wholly intentional:
Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.
Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

If their cell phone had any service, they wouldn’t have been lost for seven weeks.
You have a sorry service, my droid tells we with a matter of a few feet. However, I aways know where I am, I just like to look at the pretty earth pictures.
