This was a promising discussion about turds until it was derailed on some Afghanistan bs.
I like that hollow feeling in my stomach after a particularly massive dump first thing in the morning.
The boat taxi is easy to dismiss from your couch but you will be f'ing loving it on the way out if you are coming from Luna Col, etc I promise you. The guy could easily charge double for trips from BB TH to the dam.
I was thinking more like price lake -> up n-sack cirque -> crystal g -> down price g -> price lake -> drugs.
Leave that crazy rapping stuff for the french!
If the question is do I spend my hard-earned cash climbing some low angle shitpile with a bunch of people from Chicago tied to me, without skis, or go heli-skiing with skis the answer is pretty clear.
The key is to turn facing out really fast and stick both hands and legs out. Your nutsack will be split in half by the rope but your legs will be spared.
I'm confident PMR would be happy to chase after PLBs all day. There is no question they take the search out of search and rescue. If that message is being misunderstood, they need to work on their message. The logical disconnect of mandated use as "tax dollar reduction devices" is the issue.
Pretty sure any of these items being required by law would be outrageous to most here, and would not reduce risk or expense of rescue.
Apart from the PBL (I assume you mean PBR here).
