Stranded in -42 F/-41C in my Old Ford Truck on a Truck Camping 2,000 mile Drive to the Arctic Ocean

during the day and you know what food goes well with a day like that damn pork chili and beans lunch, so that's what we do. I'm doing right now on this little variety, this is actually extremely good. I don't know if you guys have tried these Castle berries, it's like pulled pork and beans and it's actually a delicious chili, super good, if you ever see it in the store just pick it up. yourself, a little up, you'll thank me later, come down here too hot, low, I even eat two cans of this stuff, woo, okay and I'll tell you how much I wish I had a beer right now.

I drink it, like my head hurts. There's no water all day though, so I'll probably drink a little bit of water, water and maybe a shot of whiskey, how about I have a small shot of whiskey, regards everyone, now I need to drink water. I've been drinking water all day, I actually got like a bad headache at this point you know what we did, we're in a safe place and I hope I can find out what's going on with this

truck

. I just hope everything turns around. I feel bad because I sprayed ether in the air filter and I have like Diesel 911 here, which is, I don't know, I don't like putting a bunch of nasty crap in the engine like that, it's usually very good for this engine, giving it injector cleaner and all that kind of stuff but I need new injectors real soon on this they are starting to have some problems nothing crazy but they don't work like they should so I know I'll have to lower the R and get some in Little time.

I put in around 100,000. Mi on this

truck

since I bought it and those injectors were aftermarket injectors so there's probably about 120,000 Mi on them but 20,000 of them were towing a heavy boat from the previous owner and then U, another 100,000 were from me driving with a damn log. cabin in the back, so here we go, little shakers, oh yeah, when you're in really cold weather, it just makes you strain like you're in dangerously cold weather, it just makes you feel frantic, like you have to figure out what the problem is, solve it quickly and get out of the situation, so I felt like that all day. my alarm at 5:15 in the morning to turn on the heat and I woke up at 6:15 to start the day and start the truck and I've been going frantically since 6:15 when the truck wouldn't start so now it's 8 :00 The important thing is that I don't know if I should continue after this problem and now the power steering is clearly failing on the winch controller cable that I connect to the winch to use the toggle switch to move the winch. and the plastic was breaking, the plastic was breaking on my battery terminal connections, whatever wires you have, like the casing just broke, it's so cold, so I don't know if it's wise to continue north Right now, things just break, they just break.

It's too cold outside so we have to rethink my plan there are tons of cool things to do so let's figure something out don't worry oh man I just realized I have to call State Farm and tell them I don't need a toe anymore. Thank you for calling State Farm Emergency Roadside Service. It is so difficult to get if it is a medical emergency or your safety is at risk. Hang up now and are you looking for information about your current towing request? Yes, we have received it. your towing service request we are working to find you a service provider please note that you can receive real-time updates via text messages on your mobile phone hello my name are you safe and out of danger? yes I am, I'm glad he's safe now please have his first and last name.

What I can help? I was just calling to cancel a toe. I had a friend toy. They were there. It was going to take about 20 hours to get to me, so I was able to find a way. I can definitely get this and I have it canel and thanks for calling R assistant, okay thanks, don't let the texture of the dog food fool you, it's actually pretty good right, pretty spicy too, mhm, oh, I have to do it. I finish my stroke, another shot of whiskey and then I'm going to start tearing up, go check that power steering line, okay, it's 10:00 at night, I had dinner a little rusty, a little, my head is still pounding , but I'm still going to fix this truck anyway, so let's get to work and see if we can figure out this power steering that's still a little cold.

I'll still give it some time. I unplug that Beast from the charger, because it doesn't have automatic monitoring. system on and then the charger that I carry with me does it, but it's more of a slow charger, it takes longer, so anyway let's fill all these batteries, find a light, oh no way, which I think is , oh man, yes, yes. I have a peanut butter cream cookie, have one of those, it's hard as a rock, that's my dessert a little bit, this is the cat that dragged me here and towed me back, that was a lot of work, but oh well I mean, I couldn't have. to stick a toe out until morning and tomorrow it is necessary to use the store, so I have to leave here first thing in the morning like 5 in the morning, so let's start solving this, usually, where are they? power steering pumps go bad, let me come up here and show you, let's see, maybe it ain't blown out, no way, uh, it was the top just ripped off, oh, that would be sweet, come on, yeah, the top it just came loose we were lucky the power steering fluid was just coming off the top so I think we're good it didn't explode so I think we're good I know for sure in the morning oh yeah look at my tank.

Frozen, even here it's still very cold, everything is frozen. there, so it's going to have to sit all night, well it's good news that my power steering hasn't gone out. That's great, the top just came off and spilled, so I like that there's one less thing to mess with. I have new batteries to use in the morning, so that's fine. Take a look at some other things in this just to make sure everything is okay. I said that's how cold it was when I said the plastic covers are cracking, so this is the winch controller. and just trying to get this out, that plastic broke right there, it broke here around all my wires, uh, I might break somewhere else, I forgot, but yeah, everything was breaking, I was crazy, the trigger was all Frozen here, so things are frozen, man, tell me.

What if this winch once again saved our baking today? They used that thing so many times it definitely paid for itself. I don't know how much the tip would have cost, but it wouldn't have been cheap. Guys, the irony is over tonight. control look this is hot here the temperature gauge is finally working it's almost 100° here right now Fahrenheit and I'm really nervous there's all this the heaters are up here and if I touch my ceiling it's hot to the touch I hope everything is okay um, I've got my Fantastic Plastic fan up there and I've got the plastic rocket box up here so I hope it's not too hot let me check I guess oh.

God, it's so hot, it's going to be nice -40 there and 100° here, but I'm telling you there's a better chance the truck will start here. I'm going to keep this in and try to keep the heat out or else it's going to be really hot tonight this is hilarious what are the chances it'll be so hot it's hard to sleep who would have known? You know what I'm going to accept although I'm going to get ready for bed here I'm pretty exhausted, see you guys in the morning here
