Coz they can. I've never seen a bondage skier lay out some sexy, artisitic curves when the going gets good though... More's the loss for them.

Well, by your definition, the ARVA 9000 would be a "semi-directional" digital beacon. It has an arrow that lines you up with the flux line and points you in a direction parallel to it. You then move along that line while watching the digital distance read-out. If it decreases, you're going in the right direction toward the subject. If the value increases, you're 180 degrees off, so turn around and go the other way. You do not really need to sweep to determine the direction of search with this device, and you definitely do not need to stop at all. Yes, all beacons are semi directional, no? I mean the F1, even the pieps can be used for a flux line search, they all have signal strength indicators, and an "arrow that lines you up with the flux line." What I meant to say, and my little bold edit may help clarify, is that I would only class a beacon as directional if it has an array of lights or other indicators that indicate which direction the flux line is stronger Just because you are on the flux line does not mean that you are headed towards the victim, except in a few lucky positions. As you get closer, you are going to make a curved path in towards the burial, no matter what beacon you are using, unless you are using a grid search. From the Arva website (bold mine), under usage instructions: I get the feeling that you have an Arva though, am I correct? Have you had lots of time to practice with it? I have not had time to play with one, other than learning how to turn it on and off. Perhaps there is something I am not picking up on here. :shrug:

Ahhh, no, A=Again.

Try looking beyond the first result. Oh, and try looking for this thread in SPRAY soon...

So I see this girl here everywhere nowadays, and I wonder, "Who is she???" I look at her filmography, and soon realaize I have seen her in exactly zero films! Hmm.

Try Google...

I have a dvd drive, that's where I ripped it with, now it's sitting on my drive, and I can only play sections of it, it won't play like a normal disc. :shrug: May be that me hardware or software is too old. MisterE, not my fault that your joke was lame.

Things go BUMP in the night!

So, I don't know if anyone other than Billygoat has noticed that there is now a Ski Pron category in the Photo Gallery.

I can't figure how to play them from my Hard Drive.

sisu MisterE

that's fresh and original. Actually I heard it somewhere, and I think I meant to say Randonee = French for can't tele. Kinda like Telemark is Norwegian for "Hey Guys! Wait up!"

werd try "avalon" brand eggnog, comes in glass bottles and is primo.

I've got that one figured out, I don't like either.

AT, French for Cant't Tele. How many of you have looked at the movie?

Where's the STOKE!? Good tele-stoke in this 4Mb or 13Mb movie.

are suck-ass-pansies. This 4Mb or 13Mb movie proves it once and for all. That's it, I am getting me some AT gear.

You obviously haven't met all the local (Squamish) mounties then.

Then some wanker with nothing better to do on the weekend points out to you that cows are female...

Whistler:

I have heard of something similar, but it only as it applies to unconcious hanging patients. There is also something referred to as compartment syndrome, which is defiened as follows:

Please buy my pack, it's very nice.

Check out the charred I like the side by side sections.

Where are you off to?

The ARVA 9000 is both of those things. So now what? Not by my definition... I would only call a beacon directional/digital if it has a set of lights or other indicators that tell you which direction the flux line is is. As far as I know, there are only three beacons that meet that criteria: B-vox Tracker X-1 All other beacons require you to stop or slow down and sweep the unit from side to side to determine the direction of search. I think the M2 and the Arva are very similar in function. Please correct me if I am wrong.
