Default Anyone watch Deadliest catch?

Anyone watch Deadliest catch on TV?

Those are some crazy bastards out there catching crab.

It's a pretty cool show and makes me want to get some beers and a couple pounds of crab legs.

Couple of threads in the lounge about that show. I usually watch it. Them dudes are insane. If I didn't have anything better to do, I'd think about doing it too, but that ice = wicked on the sides of those boats.

those guys are nuts but when you make 15,000 to 20,000 dollars for 2 weeks worth of work it seems pretty acceptable.great show!

i love that show and i am seriously thinking about giving it a shot some time. it si a crazy *** job, the challenge to just stay awake, much less stay safe, is incredable.
i have done some research into the when/where/how to get a job on one of those boats and it is actually not that difficult to get in for a season.
seems they have a lack of applicants for a job that kills 5 people a year on average

You just don't want to be one of the 5 people that die that year. Probably New guys that get it too.

That wasn't an assult rifle, it was a mini-14. Still bad *** and if you can squeez the trigger fast enough, it'll fire fast enough.
