LIVING THE PIPELINE LIFESTYLE (COME ALONG WITH ME)

Follow Austin Ross as he makes his way back to WV for another pipeline job. As every trip goes, he ran into a couple of bumps in the road. As a traveling welder, this is pretty "typical." It's rare to find many traveling welder jobs this time of year so it's worth the extra effort to make it work and remain grateful for the work. The pipeline lifestyle remains interesting and exciting. Watch this video if you would like to hear Austin's new song that he wrote while fixing the rv furnace.

What did you have to walk around and do to your trailer lights? I was up in Ohio before thanksgiving about the time you headed home from wv that round. When I got up there and hooked up they asked me if I had a heated water hose. Being from the south I’ve never heard of one so I went to a local rv dealer and picked one up. Let me just say 300 bucks later the hose didn’t freeze. But like I was thought when I was young when it gets cold down here just let the water run low all night and should be good for the most part.

I brought the (pirit 100’) it was that or another brand but I’m the kinda guy I want more then enough for a price just Incase. They had a 25 and a 50’ hose but they was higher then the 100’ but they had a longer warranty for them. I’m not much on warranty’s when I have to send it back to the maker tho. It worked good for the time I was there the shorter hoses were about $20 higher.

@tractorboy31 5 жыл бұрын

@@BullRidingIsMyLife never done it but im sure take a good garden hose and wrap it with heat tape how tight of wrap would depend on hose length vs heat tape length then take pipe insolation and shove hose tape wrap inside then wrap with. Guess what. Duct tape. Might want to leave a little heat tape out on both ends to have some heat on ends when connected then put a small piece of insolation on once connected. Should work

Here in Canada after October no trailers hauled around pipelining because the camp grounds are closed for the winter . TOO C__O___L__D. . You can though have a hard time getting a motel because the oil field is busiest in the winter . Exception in Canada now because of government shutting things down due a prime minister who does not like the oil industry . it has caused Huge layoffs and 80% of the drilling rigs either not drilling here or now down south in the US . People are really hurting here

@AustinandKayla 5 жыл бұрын

I can imagine it would be too cold there. We have talked about leaving the trailer at home if we do somewhere like North Dakota again. We were only there till November and could just tell we wouldn't like RV living up there in the winter months. Hate to hear that work has gotten slow. Why is it normally busiest in the winter? Here it is the opposite. We experienced a very slow year as a whole year before last and I know how difficult it can be on people and their families. Hoping y'all are back up and running soon!
