Sounds like you are "a finder."
I am also a finder.
My secret? pick up garbage...lots of it.
Remember that #1 friend you lost,.. where is that little wire? or that #4 that your girlfriend got stuck?
You will be happy to know that they live in a safe home.
I have bootied dozens of cams,wires, carabiners and slings.
I am sure many of you have as well.
Booty is separated into 3 catagories:
1. Stuck (Abandoned). the best kind, esp. when freshly abandoned.
-Don't bother with mank bootie, leave it or throw it away.
Bonus points for ugly slings. Pink?... what were they thinking?
2. Lost. second best. habitat? rocky and bushy areas.
Wires are the primary ground score, as their modest profile hides them wherever they fall.
digging in the bushes is not as cool as plucking from the vine...but whatever.
3.Dropped. The worst...
survey the scene, one pitch or more? where did it fall? dirt or rocks? use your better judgement.
What is your personal best bootie score?
