I agree a hurricane is not a piece of cake but it also depends on where you are at and how well your shelter is protected. The images you are showing are from mobile homes. Most homes I've seen in Florida are either full block or block frame with wood now. The only shelters that are not well...
You get the worst of it. I couldn't image driving in snow and ice, white rain is bad enough. I am in the same boat as you being on call. I work for a county government and my whole facility is on call. Snow seems like one giant headache when it closes down roads.
Some background: I have lived through all hurricanes that have passed through Florida over the last 24 years. I was just a kid but I remember riding out all the 2004 hurricanes at home cause of where we were located inland. Since then I have moved a town over in a house that is now all block...
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life within city limits and my girlfriend has lived in a small town. We have a hurricane coming our way soon. We were talking about how we tackle driving during the storms and routes to use rather than major roads. I know how to get around all major roads in the...
I totally agree at rather than having 4WD vs 2WD nowadays since I've moved into a more rural area. For me it's a daily need to have it just because I never know what the conditions will be during wet season and now hurricane season since its here now for me. That's the main reason why I...
I kayak a lot with dogs and have learned the easiest way to life them up out of the water or to a high place is using their life vest. We have 2 full sized Lab/Sharpe mixed pups who always love to go for swims when we paddle. Their life vest goes around their whole body and is padded for when...
2WD works great for most applications. Some background, I live in Florida where its either swamp land, low land. or parries so having something that is versatile is needed most of the year if you live in an area with mostly dirt roads. I drove a 02 Explorer Sport for years and did a good...

If I'm headed out with my gf and our 2 pups for a trip we try to limit the drive to about 4 hours, but by the end it will be around 5 to 6 with stops for the pups. With no pups then 7 hours with light gear tips and 5 with heavy gear trips. We account for traffic as part of the travel time. We...
Its called RockADock, its a paddling event up in Geneva this year. Basically a bunch of people get together to paddle a waterway for a weekend and do a clean up. Me and my gf attend events like that ever so often. Its a shame we can't take the pups since they love going on the water with us.
