Vehicle Graphics in the wild North Slope of Alaska

I'm jealous VanderJ, though I would prefer Sept/Oct. Are you doing the whole trail?

My hiking companions could only get 2 weeks off so we are going to do about 170 miles of it. Might come back to finish it one day. My mom lives in NH so logistically it's pretty easy to get back out there.

as someone who lives in the south, I can state unequivocally that a chigger is NOT a flea.
Chiggers latch onto the skin using their sharp claws, which act like jaws. These claws make holes, and the chigger then injects saliva. That saliva turns your cells into mush. Those mushy cells serve as a food source for the baby chigger.

whenever I have to go into tall grass, I always apply powered sulfur to my ankles to repel chiggers.


to the OP, that is absurd. does that classify as hazard pay?
applying graphics outdoors seems HIGHLY improbable. .

Nope not hazard pay, but if we had to apply on site it would have been expensive. This is an area in Alaska called the 'North Slope' it's where they drill for oil at. Not much up there either, fun fact the mosquito are the primary insects up there. They pollinate plants since there are no bees.

When you grown up in Texas, you learn real quick not to play in the tall johnson grass. Use clear fingernail polish to suffocate the burrowing little SOBs. They don't just bite, they dig into your skin and stay there a while. Don't get me started on bull nettle, skeeters, spear grass, blister bugs, and all the other spawns of satan we got down here.

That sucks, all I have to deal with are bears, moose, and mosquitoes.
