Great advice⬇️
For anyone that’s anaphylactic and finds themselves in trouble in a remote area with an #Epipen there is a way to get additional shots out if needed. I had to use 2 on myself on Wed. We cut one open after recovering. I had seen this video a few weeks prior https://t.co/L7uM40L9wm

6/8 is a consistent, reliable phone service. We are not interested in Netflix or gaming. Our city counterparts brag about download speeds that we can only dream about yet we can’t even make a phone call 10km from town. We should be able to go about our day knowing that if

5/8 mobile coverage but one of his recommendations floored me. He suggested I invest in a Sat phone for better coverage in remote areas. WTF. This farm is not located on the edge of the Simpson Desert. It’s in Central West NSW. 80km from the regional city of Dubbo. All we want

3/8 lie there in pain for possibly hours or move while the adrenaline was kicking in. The contractors drove me to town and managed to call an ambo who met us on the way. I was taken to Dubbo then Sydney where 5 vertebrae were fused and I underwent facial reconstruction surgery

2/8 nose, cheekbone and eye socket. I dragged myself to my ute and drove to some contractors 2km away for help. Why did I do this you may ask? Because the state of the art telecommunication device in my pocket was useless because there was no phone service. I chose to either

1/8 Thought I would tell my story. This is not about myself but about mobile phone coverage in regional areas. 18 days ago I had a farm accident on my 2nd farm which is 60km from town. 8 fractured vertebrae, fractured scapula, ribs and punctured lung. Fractured skull, smashed

Three separate irrigation systems turned on overnight in Southeastern South Dakota. As you might guess - winters here are cold and they are destroyed. Some people just don’t deserve to walk this planet. Please share. @jeffdonnely

Anyone know where to get one of these poly hopper spouts to suit a 16”auger? Finch only has 19” models. TIA.
