Any certified tower climbers have a prefered boot for climbing cell phone towers in the winter time?

I am searching for a winter pull on boot. I'm clumsy and need something today will work on ice and snow.

What boots do you use? What are pros and cons of your boots?

I've have looked at icebuds, boggs and nexgrip. I am still unsure of which ones are the best.

I want to use them for walking and general use.

Edit I have wide ankles.

This was a post I made some time ago, and not that any of you care, but I just got accepted today and I am beyond thrilled!!!!!!

This has been a dream and a point of motivation in my recent life and now that I’m living it is surreal. I am so excited.

My plan (currently) is to stay in AK after college to live there permanently. I will be visiting this January just because there are plenty of cool winter activities in the interior! That’s all, just someone excited to live in the absolutely stunning state of Alaska.

Mr. Taco, hands down best Mexican restaurant. I see it gaining in popularity as time goes on!

Does anyone know if the local ponds are frozen enough yet to skate on? Or if any of the outdoor rinks are ready. Ik It’s been warm this week but I haven’t checked any out yet. Thx

Edit: in anchorage.

How delusional is this jackass?

Since governor Oosik is shining up his kneepads, who's replacing him if he goes to DC with the rest of the diaper changers?

I live in Fairbanks, AK, which is why it's here. I think the laws are probably state, borough, or city specific. I'm in the city.

I have a junker that got smashed in an accident. The vehicle is destroyed and worth no money. I did not get a DUI or anything, I just slipped on some ice. My gf slept on retrieving the vehicle, it was in her name, and now we owe 2000$. I tried to tell her after the accident to drop me off at the hospital to chase down her car, so this really sucks.

What happens if I just refuse to pay? will they just sell the vehicle and I'll be good? Will they come after me if I ignore the vehicle?

It would be really great if someone who understood the law let me know.

The dust hasn't completely settled on this issue and there are enough outstanding ballots that it could still tip either way but I wanted to hear some opinions from folks while they're fresh out of the ballot booth.

What were the deciding factors in your voting Yes or No on Ballot Measure 2?

I was looking up the governors and it has been mostly republican for decades. And republicans have mostly controlled the government since 1992. And I looked at crime stats and crime has mostly been going up. Even in years when the President was a Republican. It's also almost dead last for best states to live in. Is it maybe time to admit republican policies aren't working there? I mean if you have the governor, the government, and republican presidents, as well as often a republican House, Senate, and Supreme Court, and it's still not working and is getting worse, why keep doing it? Isn't that the definition of insanity? My little state, Connecticut, is the third safest in the country. And it got lot better for jobs and crime when we gave the boot to the last two republican governors. We also have things like good education and great health care. We also have Yale and Wesleyan here. AND five times your population in a state that could fit in Alaska's back pocket.

This is the Official Weekly post for asking your questions about Alaska.

Accepting a job here?

Trying to reinvent yourself or escape the inescapable?

Vacation planning?

General questions you have that you would like to be answered by an Alaskan?

A friends baby lost a beanie that was purchased at a gift shop in either Ketchikan, Juneau, or Skagway and were wondering if any locals would know where they can order it or they can also pay for the beanie and shipping if anyone can do that as well. pic below. thanks

So I know a few cities and towns have the word "fair" in them to imply they aren't the most beautiful but they have something going for it.

But can someone please explain this? Do you actually not have any part of your city overlooking the river (aka the banks that are supposed to be fair)? On google maps, it looks like the highway completely cuts off any access to the river/tributary area. And there are no overlook pictures online.

Are y'all fooling us?

Edit: You all are fun! Thanks for humoring an out of towner. You all seem like great people.

My 6 year old granddaughter just called our Pilot Bread,Pirate Bread😆 And so it shall be called forever more ARRGH😆

I know ya'll expected me to come on here crying tasty tears, but you fucked that up with this hilarious result.

Hey Wasillies, what happened? Obviously it wasn't his white supremacy, conspiracy mongering or constant attacks on fellow Republican legislators, which never bothered you before. Was it the obstruction he caused in Juneau, or his ruddy smug face? I thought those were considered pluses out in the valley. Talk to me here.

Honest question, what will David Eastman do for a living now that he has been fired from his government job? Has he ever earned a dime in the private sector?

Just want to know why the hell almost 2.5k Alaskans votes went to Democratic Party - Eric Hafner, who is currently in Prison in New York and has never been to Alaska.

This is a pretty solid example of the potential negatives of ranked choice voting.

It’s not about left or right; it’s about giving yourselves choices.

Seems like the Alaska vote totals, as per the AP and other media for Harris and Trump hasn't changed in many hours. Thus the question.

Thanks!

I was working a polling location yesterday and a nice gentleman gave me a handful of tiny duckies.

I apologize in advance for not using r/Fairbanks but I guess I’m not popular enough to post there lol. Been here over a year now and just now opened a p.o. box. I was very surprised when I saw the 1 year price to say the least lol. I payed it and left. I then looked at my receipt and noticed the $302 was a "2 keys deposit." I was just curious if anyone knew if that truly meant it was a deposit and l'd get my money back when I return the keys? Additionally, do I pay this annually? I'm a young adult new to the "real world" lol so don't be too mean, just looking for help.

Trump attempted to sell oil leases in ANWR right before he left office, no doubt that happens this go around.

The selling of federal land in sweetheart deals to corporations who don’t have any qualms about destroying the environment to extract wealth for themselves will be rampant as well. And Pebble Mine is back in the menu.
