Let me try to clear this up. What I MEANT to say was "Most of the SAR members I know (only a few) are lacking in technical skills". I realize that this is not what I actually typed, and I am unable to edit the message now. I had no intention of insulting all SAR people, as I realize that the vast majority are competent. Apologies.

You're not the only one Cavey!

I think he is complimenting you!

I agree. The shop also has character, unlike so many. And the amount of specialty gear is unbelievable. Really, we are lucky to have it around.

check your PMs

I apologize for all I have offended. I tried to make the point that Iain did, and fucked it up.

I went over to PMS. I liked the shop, and asked why he doesn't like BD gear. He fed me a load of BS. Thats OK though, but the guy definitely seems kinda eccentric to say the least.

What film is that?

JD, definitely. He sounds like he needs a drug rehab/mental ward center ASAP. And if we could all get along then the world would be extremely boring. Lets spew, spray, and slander some more. Come on, lets have some ACTION.

LMAO. Spam the fuck out of them!

I read a TR from a couple guys who skied the Coleman Headwall on Baker. The link is on cascadeclimber.com

Jeesus. But who would be willing to be killed and eaten?

Marmot Climbing Jacket seems to be extemely durable and heavy. I tried it on and felt like I was wearing armor.

As for SAR members, I have met some of them and most of them SUCK. They would killed themselves trying to help anybody other than a hiker with a spained ankle. No offense to anybody on SAR teams, but the ones I've met scare me.
