It’s a bit more fiddlly than the inreach (I have a Mini2). Others thing about the mini2 is it has insane battery life, versus a phone (unless you go airplane mode, etc). I also wonder how much longer the satellite messaging will be free…I’m betting it will at some point cost extra. that said if I already had not paid for the garmin I probably wouldn’t at this point. And I’m probably not getting good value for my money given how many times a year I am truly out of cell service. But for now I still pay for the Garmin service. it won’t be long till there won’t be such a thing as “off the grid” or “out of cell service “ … the death of that freedom

Thank god I procured 3 of the memberships.

That third pic fromn the bottom.....thank you for sharing as usual!

Wait….rat has a fing blog??

On a road trip in Idaho and Montana and came across this hat in a thrift store in a little town in Montana when I stopped in to get some steak knifes. Got this and three steak knifes for $2. Thank you Steve and RIP.

Dan I will help you! Let’s also get your phone off here it will get scraped and every bit in the universe will be calling you!

I would love to read the essay @Otto

That poetry.

It’s all about belaying, not about the climbing.

Wow!!!

https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/registers-canisters-a-grand-northwest-tradition hopefully people are replacing the actual register rather than taking to container down… I mean I think they are cool. Sometimes you see notable names in them, or a name of a now deceased climber of note.

That sucks…especially those old brass Mountie registers. Is it possible the Mounties are retrieving them themselves? But probably not unless the replace it with a modern container…

Tedious! 😂. If tedious is the bar to get those views, sign me up for tedious.

Went up there again. The smoke from the Bear Gulch spoiled the views to the south but we had a good time anyway. Was gonna camp on Hawk Peak but ended up going down to the plane wreck in Tull Canyon to get out of the smoke. plol

Unfortunately NWAlpine is calling it quits. Not sure what the plan is there, but taking the advert down. If you like their stuff (quality, made in a America) then get in on their going out of business sale here: https://www.nwalpine.com/ All the best to all....

Now you’re on to something. Fire all the statisticians, force the team to give the US government 20% ownership of the team, make it so you can only buy tickets to the games with Trumpcoins. Deport any player with a batting average under .200.

Damn! That’s impressive!! Let’s see a picture of the bike. definitely best of!

Just brutal. Brutal. Are we cursed?

I don’t think I deviated much for the standard approach, if at all. I think I may have the tracks, I believe I have my trip on Strava. Im glad I did it, but I was super worried about Kiba going up and coming down. Perhaps only for a short section, but it was stressful. I’m definitely by far not the only person to take my dog up there, and after this I got Kiba a proper climbing harness. Just fyi. But happy to share whatever I got.

Nah Jason that is just a leaf my man. Joe Biden’s leaf.

it is indeed a waste of time! 😂

Oh Brian. Poor Brian. Is that the best you got? Sad. I just don’t feel like engaging in the battle of wits with someone so unarmed and so boring. We get it. You’re so brave with your knee bent before your orange master. So much “winning”, you’re full of glee to see your “enemies “ suffer. Sad. I have much better things to do. As far as emotion, yes. I have it. I am human. I love this country. It is a cruel time, a vindictive time where an authoritarian is stepping on the throats of people who barely get by as it is. Where the military, which is supposed to defend our country is instead being used to intimidate its own citizens for political purposes. I realize you don’t see this. Cult members don’t. I’m logging out to help my dad work on this engine…in the spirit of spray: get back to gobbling up those orange turds you so love

Yes your words are clear Brian. You buy into the orange clown show. You see the grift and you endorse it. 95% of it. Your words. Enjoy the orange koolaid. I’m out on the thread till I feel like talking to a follower again.
