ahhh....its good to be back
not having appliances....major pain in the arse
Note to all concerned....take 10 appliances next time plus 4 command cars. Time lost in searching for appliances and finding enough gear to get them going wasted half a day on the first day and a couple of hours on the second day. We know our gear, our gear is far superior, and it makes us independant and and ADDITIONAL asset, not a drain on them. I'm sure by the end of day 1 they were thinking is it worth having them here, as all we were doing was keep asking/needing stuff.
10 Trucks is nothing out of the state pool, hell theres 10 trucks sitting at angle park that could be used. Couple of us were discussing a plan to put forward to the Chief about standing deployment teams and resources, so once the dust has settled and we are all back and sorted out, we might put pen to paper with a suggestion
Nice to see u kept the place tidy while we were gone
