Damm spelunker I knew it
Not now, no way. Maybe if you can stand up the whole way. We went to this one cave, located at a trappist monk abbey. This cave was huge. Rooms as large as a gymnasium. Got clear to the "end" of it....i could feel air coming from somewhere, but couldnt see from where. Was about 1 1/2 hours into the cave and almost waist deep in mud, time to exit!

The monks didnt seem to like us there, but never said a word. Even when we crossed their rope bridge across a gorge. They made bricks there. I later learned they had a "vow of silence." Oh well.

i have gotten progressively more and more claustrophobic with age. I used to do some caving, but now the idea of soda straws and water up to your face gives me chills. No way!

If I was on a creeper underneath a car, and my chest even lightly touched the frame, I'd be outta there in a flash.
Every mechanic uses a creeper - but I friggin' HATE mine! 😡
 
They are attached to each other and One has no stronger pull than the other. The arm would have to move away to pull the truck and the magnet would have to be stronger than the size of the truck to allow the magnets power to work.
In that situation,,Size matters.😁
Remember,,the truck is not a donkey.
Looked like a chevy to me

I used to be able to get under my '57 without one ( for extra room) to change clutch. Drop the trans and let it rest onmy chest. Well, the M22 Muncie anyway. When I let a BorgWarner T10 on my chest....couldnt move!

The worst man trapped under a car call was
At dinner time one night a call came out for man under a car
I was 1st at scene and it turned out to be a guy under a motor home that had rolled back on him, trapping him under the water tank.
His wife had used there other car to try and push the motor home back up off him, and that car went on fire. The fire was in the engine which was now under the two 20lb propane tanks mounted to rear of MH. At this time I was able to pull the man out because he had told his wife to push it off with her car prior to my arrival.
Motor mount had broken and caused car to go into high revs and caused fire, Guy went to hospital with some broken ribs. Fire extinguished .
Was a Good Day

Did you mow their yard?
 
Originally they wanted me to work in a Lab and sent me to all kinds of classes, but I would not have it and was transfer out to the field where I Loved and belong.
My wife loves the forensics shows, and I find it fascinating that the timing of the arrival of various insects at different points in the decomposition process allows for determining time of death, etc.
I couldn't survive in a lab, either. My wife was a cubicle dweller for many years, until she got an office. I couldn't have done a cube, either. She thinks I'm nuts as it is...spending a full 1/3rd of my day in a little box would put me over the edge. lol
 
So what did you use to get the plastic caps off? I have yet to install that or the quick change conversion.

I am going to use my propane torch very quickly and carefully
Just to warm them enough to become malleable enough to pull them off. Easier to remove then get back on.
To put back on boil a cup of water drop one in for a few sec
and put it back in place Easy peasy

Yup. Sometimes body so far gone evidence is gone. Oddly, they can reclaim some evidence from the maggots that ate it.
