I own two collapsable treking poles. I never use them when ascending, but they sure save wear and tear on my knees descending.

That's great to hear. You must've done a great job to keep their little attention spans busy! :)
I'd stop for both scenarios if I'm alone or with friends. But if my daughters are with me, I'll pull ahead and call for help. I won't take the chance of some crazy popping out of the bushes while my...
Make the wife load the dogs while you sit in a heated massage chair, sipping your Red Bull, and reading the paper. :)
I usually check that site quite often since I have two daughters. You'd be amazed how often it can change in your neighborhood. I worked on a cut cable yesterday and didn't realize the homeowner was...
Aaaah...I see the point you're making and completely understand. For me, it's hard to gauge a persons intent by a question posted on the internet. I do better with sound, sight, and body language....
To some, it may be a stupid question. To others, it may not. I'd ask anyway. Who cares what anyone else thinks? You'll never meet 99% of the people on here. And if someone blasts you, go on to the...
Lmao...exactly!
It reminds me of being on the rodeo commitee here. Four people show up for the monthly meetings, four people do the work with sponsors, four people hire the band/stock contractor/vendors/beer...
Have you ever had to climb those laminated poles? Those are scary! I know the company pays me for two hands, but I held onto a stand-off the whole time I was attaching strand.
I keep powdered milk in the cupboard for hiking and camping. I pour cereal and the powdered milk in a ziplock bag and throw it in my pack. It weighs nothing at all. Then when it's time to eat, just...
Luckily, my company pays for us to take first aid and cpr training once a year. Then every other year we have blood pathogen training, pole top rescue, and get to repel out of our bucket trucks.

And if they witness how much those dogs eat they'll understand the price!:)
Good job getting it running. I couldn't have done it if given a year!
I use the cottonball/vaseline method and swear by it. I also use shredded documents from work. A handful stuffed in a Ziplock bag weighs nothing and it's free and plentiful.
While you went for his sled, you should've made him sit at your computer and read through ALL the posts on here.

Anybody who watched when Katrina hits knows that money/silver didn't help them much. The most important things for survival were being looted....food, bottled water, Heineken, and big screen tv's. :)
I've climbed 200' towers before and it didn't bother me. But put me next to a 200' straight down cliff with nothing to hold onto and I'll get the eebie-jeebies.
They must've been real green horns because, like Jason said, it's been a pretty mild winter here. I feel bad for them.
NOW THAT IS FUNNY! I'll be sending you a nice soft coozie for your beer bottle so that such an unfortunate accident doesn't happen again!:D
Howdy, from central Montana!
How about a Cooke City gathering this summer? The drive from Red Lodge to Cooke City was called "The most scenic in the US" by 'On the road with Charles Kuralt' and Cody to Cooke City isn't too bad...
-19 F when I went to work this morning with 25+ mph winds. After two hours in a bucket truck (very little movement to generate body heat) with having to work with no gloves, I called the boss and...
I didn't get on here to learn to survive. I got on here because there's "more than one way to skin a cat". Whether it be starting a fire, making a shelter, cooking food, etc...
The way you do...
