Boiling water in Alaska

[91Foxtrot]

We have been hearing from all of the old Alaskan guys that once it hits -40, you can throw boiling water outside and it will freeze or disappear before it hits the ground. Never really paid much attention to them or cared about throwing around boiling water, but since it is currently -42 we figured we might as well try. The 2 Soldiers shown are PFC Jones and PFC Concepion.

A bit of foul language, nothing too bad.

You are also supposed to be able to hammer in a nail with a banana in this weather. Since I don't have any banana hammers at the moment I wasn't able to try

I don't think rustyduck realizes you 'ARE' the man in the video

Damn! Stay outta that **** as much as you can!

I guess I'll quit taking about how cold (+29F) it's gonna be here Saturday morning, now.

So are you like the American version of the Russian soldier that screws up and gets sent Siberia?

Ask Pangris, he can probably send you one of his....

I'd guess that wizzin in sub-zero temps and wizzin on an elect. fence almost produce the same results. Burnt unit.
