Please post your information here! WYOMING Please include job title, company/organization, city, etc. Must be a specific job, and not theoretical ("plumber" vs. "pipe fitter, Pipe City Plumbers, Silver Spring, WY"). Wyoming ideas only.
Come play in the missile field. ICBM's are where it's at. Us civilian contractors have a wonderful job installing large HVAC units for the missiles. We have stuff you've never seen. Gotta sort out the BS with the Air Force, but it would be well worth it. Noting like wallering around in Hanta Virus, Lead Paint, Shooting studs, welding, drilling, and a lot of other tasks that get a little DIRTY. Okay, a lot DIRTY. Thanks Mike and crew for a job well done. Stay DIRTY.
Fish Wrangler/Rocky Mountain Trout Ranch/Cody, Wyoming. Come work with us for a day:cleaning in the hatchery,hatching the eggs, seining(netting) trout in the ponds, cleaning raceways,sizing trout,raking the ponds,feeding the trout, loading them into the live delivery trucks. LOTS OF FISH POOP and dirt! We are the largest Certfied Disease Free Trout Hatchery in this state. We are 100% live sales. We have fun on this beautiful ranch;but the work can be arduous. Our fish are in very high demand; we can't grow enough.Our motto is "the Best Fish in the West."
I say a wind sock in the great state of Wyo is a winner! Any man that can not get sucked into Nebraska is a winner in my book.
Just kidden' boys but I do agree there's lots of hard workin' people in Wyo that get good and dirty!
Go luxurious and birth calves in Jackson or Pinedale area - or a large animal vet in Jackson. It's the only place I've been where I had to pull porcupine quills out of a dogs throat at 5:00 a.m. I can set you up with a vet who has lots of work.
For a more 'down to earth' experience Mike could emasculate sheep (with his teeth I hear!) in Rock Springs or anywhere in the area. Nothing like a good sheep 'shearing' before a dinner of lamb and testicles.
How 'bout hogs and chicken's in Chuckwater or a national guard assignment in Guernsey.
How about a cattle drive or a Conestoga wagon train across the great State? They do it every year.
Fishing, rafting, hunting? Moose in Jackson? Elk in Saratoga? Antelope just about everywhere.
Better yet - log homes in Sheridan! Now THIS IS A JOB! I can hook Mike up with a log home builder in Sheridan and he can work his _ss off! Imagine Mike peelin' logs with a hand made draw knife using a sharpened leaf spring and from a truck and then runnin' a big 'ol chainsaw while he builds custom log homes!
Speaking of logs - when is the logging' competition in south central Wyoming? Seems like it's in the spring in Saratoga? Hey mike - can you run a chainsaw made from a 150 cc Honda motorcycle engine? Or fell a tree within a 3' span? How 'bout chop a log in half (no toes please) with a razor sharp stainless steel axe? Or outhrow a girl in the hatchet throwing competition?
Man - with the coal, oil, livestock, logging, etc. in Wyoming Mike could spend an entire season there! I'm a Colorado native but I spend lots of time in Wyoming and have good friends in several parts of the State and I will hook him up - on one condition: I get to drive up and meet him. :-)
You have GOT to go there Mike! I'll set you up in Pinedale, Saratoga, Guernsey, Sheridan - let me know - those folks are good, honest, fun lovin' and hard workin' and would love to have help!
Coop7585 Junior Member Posted 02-15-08 11:53 AM Triangle X Ranch Moose, WY Grand Teton National Park. Even though we have a beautiful view of the mountains doesn't mean everything is beautiful here on the ranch. We have everything from "Cabin Kittens" cleaning up some interesting stuff, to irrigators playing in the mud, to wranglers playing in some other stuff, to fishing guides and float trip guides playing in the Snake! However the dirtiest job that we have is a hunting guide. They spent up to 10 days in the back country (45 min drive and 4-7 hour horseback ride) with no showers, snow in September, living out of tents, running from bears, keeping up the horses and mules and of course, hunting, chopping up, and packing elk on mule back! Oh, and before the season starts they have to chop wood, build the tents, and dig the poop pit!
tiggerwy Junior Member Posted 02-14-08 12:37 AM Mike, I would love for you to come to my home town Worland and visit the Wyoming Sugar, sugar factory. You have gotten dirty with sugar cane, now try getting dirty with sugar beats. I admire your steel stomach and the crews tenacity, keep up the good (dirty) work.
wyflipper9 Junior Member Posted 02-13-08 10:57 PM Poly pipe fuser/Three Way Inc./Buffalo Wyoming Hey Mike come out to wyoming and see how methane gass is produced and piped into your home. and it is a dirty job I think you would like.
I just watched the "Dirty Jobs" program about rice processing in S.C. and he asked for suggestions for programs at the end. We had a tour of the Simplot phosphate mine outside of Afton, WY and it was so interesting. Driving and loading those huge trucks that hold a 150 tons of dirt would be a really interesting show. The whole process from ore to liquid form which travels by pipeline to Pocatello, ID is something most people wouldn't know about . Thanks, Judy
Jay96 Junior Member Posted 02-18-08 11:18 PM The job would take place at the North Antelope Rochelle coal mine between Douglas and Gillette Wyoming. The coal mine is owned by Peabody Energy. My father inlaw works at this mine and I have had a tour of it. I think this would make an awsome show having seen the crew do a blast myself and this would knock out another state!
My husband comes home BLACK and SWEATY EVERYDAY! He is a Plant operator for Cordero Rojo Coal Mine outside of Gillette Wyoming.We are the energy capital of the world you know! He loads hundreds of train carts full of coal, sometimes if the load is spilled outside of the cart he has to shovel 10,000 pounds or more back into the carts by hand and shovel! Then sends them on their way to various locations of the country for energy use. The Crusher does randomly get clogged by huge coal boulders he then has to fix the problem which is a very dirty job. He washes down silo pipe lines throughout the day that have many many many stairs to climb, in the Rain or Frezzing snow. He has to keep the silos wet because the coal is very flamable. He fixes and maintains the Large mechanical equipment throughout the plant daily. Manual, Labor intensive, and VERY DIRTY!
My brother runs one of the coal mines in Wyoming, every time I go home to visit, he comes in with black soot falling off of him. I would love to see a dirty jobs based here, they have some of the largest equipment in the world! I would love to see a dirty jobs take place at Buckskin Mine. Just imagine " terribly dirty socks" as my mother says.
come to Jackson Hole and make snow at jackson hole mountain resort in the fall. 24 hours a day high pressure air and water a ridiculous amount of electricity wrecking four wheelers wrecking snowmobiles wrecking everything. driving snowcats digging your arms off in the snow. hiking your legs off. keep entertained by catching pinemartins and mice in the break room. its a pretty dangerous job. come freeze some water and get frostbite with the crew!
Dusterbug Junior Member Posted 02-20-08 01:57 AM Here in north central Wyoming we have a couple very dirty jobs, both of them are working with dirt! In Lovell, WY, you have your choice of bentonite plants (this is sticky, nasty, clay, mud; search it out and you will be amazed the products that contain bentonite, a major componit in cat litter that is even found in chocolate)Wyo-Ben, Cetco, or American Colloid.
Just outside Frannie, WY we have a lime plant and just like it sounds the plant processes lime. Even the "clean" jobs here are dirty.
lorna6136 Junior Member Posted 02-20-08 01:19 AM Hey Mike:
We are right in the middle of calving season, and soon these babies will need to be branded, vaccinated, ear tagged and castrated. How bout some REAL wyoming at its best! Come to an old fashioned branding starting with the gather and ending with rocky mountain oysters!
JAmmer0324 Junior Member Posted 02-20-08 12:22 AM Mikes been to a cattle ranch before but nes never been during calving season which is the dirtiest time of year for a cattle ranch. its cold. dark, tiring asnd dirty. West pass ranch parkman wyoming
Also a dirty time of year is the haying season when grass is cut and made into hay bales its also very dirty hot and dusty
mike needs to come to west pass ranch in parkman wyoming.
There are tons of dirty jobs to do on the ranch iwve worked there myself its awesome
Hello Mike, My friends and I do Native American re-enactment every summer. We bring a buffalo down with bow, arrow and lance and we slaughter the buffalo in the old way. Lots of guts, blood, tasting liver and cutting meat. We are humane to the animal to kill it. But dressed in Plains Indian clothing and hauling with travois across the sagebrush is a dirty job. You would need a bucket of water and a sharp knife and maybe a horse! (Well we could help out with that.) It is true Wyoming.
I had the unique opportunity to work with a helicopter game capture unit that was based in Wyoming but did capture jobs all over the US. Some capture contracts were dirtier than others depending on the animal, location and time of year- but always exciting. I'm a helicopter pilot that was joining the company and during my relocation met up with the capture unit and went along on a bull elk capture. The captures are almost always for biological research. I had never done anything remotely similar before(being an east coast Maryland girl) so to allow me to see the process and fly along I took the seat of one of two 'muggers'. There are four seats-the pilot, the gunner(net gun and if necessary tranquilizer), and two muggers. The pilot(highly skilled and specialized) flies radically at low levels tracking the animal(s)and when possible the gunner nets the animal and then the fun begins. The two muggers jump from the moving-still airborne- helicopter, onto the netted animal. After wrestling the animal(a dirty-huge-bull elk) into submission our job was to take a blood sample, knock out and bag one of it's molars(with a rock or anything in the area), and I had the pleasure of picking the ticks out of it's..anal area, bagging those as well. GPS collars were also attached to the animal and then, very carefully, the elk was set free. A very unhappy but relieved beast. By the end of the day I was covered in dirt hair, blood and ticks. The men who do this job are amazing, agile, tough, and certainly not afraid to get dirty. The company I was employed with has closed down after 50 years in the industry but the job is still out there and the contracts range from elk to moose to wolves. Would love to see Mike go out on something like this. His sense of humor would compliment the job perfectly.
. Thanks, Judy
