10. Dynamite Blaster
Dynamite blasters handled precarious sticks of nitroglycerin-based explosives to carve tunnels and blast roadways through stubborn rock. They drilled holes, packed charges, and lit fuses with trembling hands under the scorching sun. One misread fuse length or a sudden jolt could trigger fatal miscalculations and accidental detonations, sending shrapnel flying and collapsing tunnel walls. Only the most precise and daring men survived this explosive frontier craft.
