Bridged grain could cover you up for sure E.
Might be best to put some sort of blender type arm all the way to the top with some beater bars on it, flip that bitch on and agitate it to the auger.
I'll just put it out there. Spray foam the interior of the bin so it is not corrugated inside? That may not help with the bridging? Or will it? Those corrugated inside walls may be what supports the bridge.
FUN FACT: You're dead in 20 min dangling from "first gen" fall protection. Your heart "explodes". Wingmen are essential for shit even if they are only good for communication.
^^^^Yes. Upgrade your fall protection and have a wingman Maverick.
Most people don’t know this fun fact. I wear fall protection a lot and my harness has leg straps that I can deploy to stand up in and keep the blood flowing. But if I’m hanging 150ft in the air and can have the presence of mind to deploy and buckle the leg straps is a different story. I carry a very sharp pocket knife with at all times and in my mind I tell myself I’ll cut lanyard before I die of a massive cardiac arrest but who knows if that time ever comes what my mind will do.Previously addressed by SDMF and I agree with both of you.

I think a good idea would be to always dry your grain and then move it to long term storage so it does not have the needed moisture to clump/bridge up.
If the grain bridging or sticking to the side of the bin causing avalanching danger is because the grain is too wet, the answer is DRYING the grain out in place, not entering the bin and trying to get the grain falling/moving. Get a 100K t0 150K BTU salamander propane burner and a portable propane tank that can be towed behind your vehicle and fire up the burner with the heat directed into the bin and dry the grain out until it falls of it's own weight. Not ever been a farmer, but if that would work it would be a cheap, safe solution.
Hmmm farmers need a new invention. What if someone could manufacture an inflatable ring around the inside edge of the bin about a foot or two diameter like a huge donut.
