yes, and i have the goatee to prove it

Fosters is a pale imitation of an American beer

Choss requires more skill to climb than good rock, and therefore a choss climb is harder than a solid-rock climb of the same grade. Discuss.

already won

you guys dont even know what beer is!!!! you think it is called Malt Liquor what you call Beer is actually called Piss or Water

How is American beer like sex in a canoe? It's fucking close to water

who was it that said all his climbs had been done in alpine style, "No Oxygen in the Himalaya, no fixed rope in Patagonia, and no radios in Alaska" - Donini?

izzat you in the background in the white shirt with the moustache?

Yes. Some people LIKE being remote and out of contact. They find it fosters a pleasant feeling of self sufficiency.

trtask, you hold the goat by the horns right

Handlines are aid

Dru - I thought Giardi had an incubation time of like 9-21 days. Maybe he'd already been infected from a previous trip or got some kind of bacterial or amoeba thing. Well - we had been drinking out of that creek, and nothing else, for like 2 months and then one day he got sick. So whether it took 6 hrs or 21 days is a moot point. I didnt get sick so I guess Im a carrier Anybody want some gorp

I don't use a filter, or treat water, but I wouldn't drink out of the Crooked River at Smiff either. I drink tap water. Statistically, one person can drink water with minimal chance or getting sick, but if thousands drink that water, 10 or so are gonna get sick. Its like playing the lottery except chances are, you will win. But it sux to lose. The higher the fresher thing only applies in that there is less source area above to source contaminate. But high is not necessarily safe. Local factors, like someone who just came back from Nepal taking a dump at a campsite 1km upstream, take a greater role in determining infection. I know from water tests I have done that fecal colifom loads in typical below treeline BC stream water are generally in the 1-5 bacterial count, but randomly spike up to 1000 level counts in a small proportion of samples. Where there's fecal coliform, there's potential for disease, and giardia and crypto counts usually, but not always, follow the same trend. I would assume many alpine areas in WA to have a slightly higher count due to their greater use, eg Snow Creek or the creek near W side of Lib Bell probably has a higher coliform count than Tretheway Creek at the head of Harrison Lake does.

Now that I took the acid I remember when there were no dinousaurs. Some hotshot fish grew legs and sent the sit start to Pangaea from the bottom of the ocean floor.

So if I wanna buy a 68L Rubbermaid tote, should I pay $7.99 at London Drugs, or $5.95 for the same product at WalMart?
