This woman is extremely tough. She walked, pulling a sled, 320 miles in under 10 days, cold too.

Eva Zu Beck has traveled all over the USA and went to the Arctic in Alaska. She went home to Europe and went to the Arctic again in a race. She really is very tough. Watch her overcome fears.

I watched the whole thing.

OUCH.

I'd last 30 minutes.

Women are, for sure, tougher than men in sooooooo many ways.

3"?

O.K. maybe I was exaggerating.

2".

I still had to take a nap after watching them.

Did you mean "feet" or am I missing a lot of sarcasm?

It's not really sarcasm....just a little hyperbole.

And yes, I mean inches.

I got you beat all to smithereens -- I walked a few blocks in 6" of fresh Montana snow!


.

As a kid I have shoveled two blocks of 6" Wisconsin snow, more than once.

Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below
We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow
Worked in the coal mines twenty two hours a day for just half a cent
Had to sell me internal organs just to pay the rent

Okay! Sounds like where I lived in WA state.

I have actually shoveled a bit of 6" snow. Am too old now.

It's a shame you have to ask if the babe is a genetic woman or a manufactured one.

You have no need to know..

I use a snow thrower now, but I sometimes shovel if the snow is light.

When I was a kid, I also mowed most of the lawns on my street as well, with a push mower. The pay was lousy, but it was the only source of spending money for kid my age. As soon as I turned 16 and got a 'real' job I quit all that.

Unless it's swimming, basketball, track, bowling, golf, softball, or cooking.

I made three dollars a lawn, five if they wanted it bagged. I was 15 when I got a real job.

In my day you took what they offered. Also, my grandmother made me take most of those jobs. She knew everyone in the neighborhood and there were no other kids that would do that work. Only one paid me decently and she actually overpaid me for what I did. Most worked me like a dog for peanuts.

The worst was a lady who would call my grandmother when she wanted her large yard cut. By that time it was overgrown and took me fully two hours to cut with her push mower. One day I noticed her yard was cut already and I asked her grandniece who had cut it. She said that a guy came to the door and offered to cut the grass. I asked her how much he was paid. "Five dollars" she said. This lady paid me seventy-five cents to mow her overgrown yard. I never mowed her yard again.

Funny, I never knew anyone who owned a riding mower until I moved to SD. Now, there is only one property withing seeing range that doesn't use a rider. Bigger properties, mostly quarter acres.

I care for a pretty large property, but a riding mower isn't a good fit for it, so I use a self-propelled rotary mower. Good exercise and I enjoy it. $36/hr is pretty good pay for mowing the lawn.
