I'd like to make clear that my post was not intended to attack any SAR personnel in any way. I understand the risks undertaken, regardless of the assignment. I was just stating that there is a wide range of ability and experience out there. Some members are some of the finest climbers and problem-solvers in the PNW, some have much less experience. None of these people, who are volunteering their time for trainings and often dangerous missions w/o advance warning, deserve a verbal lashing. I apologize if I came across that way. Thanks for writing in, and good luck to you. Hope this was your last call to that location for some time.

edelweiss ropes RAWK!

the fbi rarely seems to have a sense of humor. what's with that?

why don't you go back to your cobra commander vs. optimus prime thread then?

oh hacking skills...I was going to say I'm pretty good with the osis, double leg over, paradox illusion, symposium mirage, etc. oh and who can forget the pixie same side illusion?

I think the bibs retail for $399. That's a little worse.

Probably not. But I know some people who have sent in some old worn-out stuff and done pretty well. That up-front retail cost goes somewhere at least. I personally think they make the best clothes in the industry too.

Kudos to Patagonia. Went to the PDX store to complain about a bum zipper on my ice nine bibs. Replaced on the spot w/ new ones, no questions asked.

two words - pro patrol, sheesh

best do that unless you have a bulletproof vest and a bombshelter

zipcode 55555? That's Young America, MN.

I wasn't suggesting BD should be carried. Just interesting to note he is not. I've heard that about small retailers and BD stuff.

flash you are just about the worst at that game.

heheh yeah one of them just posted to this thread dude.

frame capture from a camera. I gots me a 22" display as well.

trippy eh?

maybe not that fun. maybe a BAD IDEA actually scratch that.

got a webcam or something? that'd be fun for people to post an image of where they are posting from.

well this is fun.

It's similar in accomplishment to standing in the road around a curve for a few minutes on a highway and not getting waxed.

cobra commander is my president.
