I just noticed this thread, and I like that it's a sticky. It shows the new ppl how even when someone is going out of their way to be obnoxious and vain you can still be reasonable and open minded in...

lol well they had to get good at it :D

Which is really nice since these guys have been preparing since march for this. thats a LOT of PREP time.

How could I?:confused: :confused: :confused:

Well I suppose first what defines them, and if this is one. Then what CAUSES them. And maybe how people act and either get out of them or perish. Maybe this should be a thread...

This was what I was looking for Volwest, thanks.

g2g but I'll be back to finish this thought tonight

Look at what sarge said

that's my point sarge, I'm glad you said it.

So what are you looking at this trip as then Sarge?

I haven't bothered asking them what happens next, but I doubt that they will be going again for any longer that this trip, and I bet they will...

You guys sure like to throw in a lot of hypothetical situations so here's one: What if everything works out great? I understand that most of you have gone through rough times and a lot of the time it...

I haven't denied any danger, and I'm not going to be keeping track of their "adventure" as you put it. Everyone that has stuck their head out the door knows that random junk can throw any plans to...

I definitely think your right about how they will come out of there, and with a lot of new respect for nature they never thought they could have.

According to your logic this trip has a 90% chance of success. Good odds for any energetic enterprising person.

Also i don't see how I'm going about this emotionally, so if you could clarify that...

It's just that I see this as a possible venture, that's all. Yeah it's dangerous, even a high possibility of death, but that's their choice. Also you can't think that if the guys wife had that big of...

Yeah, thats why they should test it out first, and not just wherever, exactly where they will be using it. And not just once, they should test it out every day from now until their trip.

lol then they are screwed!

well they have time to make sure their satellite connection works at their base camp. They have already been in the area so I wonder if they already have.

lol I never said your questions weren't valid, but it was already answered.You asked why they weren't taking advice from experienced ppl. RickSAR said if they DO go to have something that they could...

Did they say that about the computer? I originally thought they weren't bringing one, but they never really said either way that i found. But the way they said it it seemed more like they had been...

I hear ya sarge, and I don't condemn you for calling them on this.

And the questions would be so we know them and their situation better. I think it would've settled a lot of messed fur if you...

Well I can actually see why they side stepped one of your questions, I guess I have missed a lot from the sound of it. (been busy the last few days, not much time for this) They DO have a way to get...

I think we should've asked them more questions, and waited for the answers first, but ultimately you were looking out for them and anyone that looks up to them.

My problem with them not having a...

This makes me feel better about it.

And Wareagle gave you some awesome advice about edibles, you should listen to him.

BTW just how many batteries will it take to keep your equipment going for...

Being able to send an email would be AWESOME!

Don't worry nobody seems like they are picking on me, I just think we could help. it would be like giving your jumper a parachute so they enjoy the whole ride and can live to jump again. Maybe with...
