Remember when Marlon said to use latex gloves under your thinsulate ones? Well being cheap, I bought nitryl plastic ones instead. Once I suffered from near frostbite I learned my lesson. The box of gloves I bought at harbor freight are now under the kitchen sink for toxic duty. Don't use the nitryl ones, your hands will get colder.
I taped some of those handwarmer things, you kinow, the ones with iron powder in them, to my wrists the same day. The inside of my wrists suffered second degree burns at the same time my fingertips froze. It was a fun install. Thinsulate is your friend; handwarmers should not be used by morons and wisp operators. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 11:05 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] UBNT Bullet Takes Down Entire Network....... Sigh.... Don't we all know that feeling... I remember climbing 300' when it was below freezing, 30mph winds and the snow was more wet then anything. Before I climbed one of the customers said "You're killing my business". Mind you he has had no issues outside of this instance, 6 months since we bought the network. Half way up I just kept reciting that laughing at how ridiculous the situation was - I'm way above the ground freezing my ass off to fix just a few customers and they were that grateful.
