The difference in specific gravity of Al vs Ti is 2.7 versus 4.506. So when density in factored in, a aluminum pot has to be 17.96 times thicker than a titanium pot. But these figures are theoretical. There are many other factors in real life which would play an important role in stove performance.

Try? The testing is meaningless unless it is done in a controlled environmeny

It's probable that Btu output is a variable to each stove, based on the amount of fuel used/remaining. It is likely that your data is so meager to be of no use.

Bitch slap would be a better definition

YDS has been open ended probably 45 years now.

Thanks Junior

You know who you are, here and ST. Weird

I believe failure to report a crime is in fact a crime in Washington. It is probably seldom used, more as a carrot and the stick with witnesses of murders

Two good points

People can certainly know how not to fall, and fall better than others. But the fact is falling on ice is a game of chance and luck, and to claim some skill is specious

On my third try, I did the math correctly, and I concur with 72.8 feet

i'm wrong

Ooh, ooh. A BD ATHELETE.

Four companies offer guided climbs of Mt Rainier: Mountain Madness, RMI, International Mountain Guides and Alpine Ascents International (not AAI, which use should be confined to the American Alpine Institute, a company which existed long before the management of Alpine Ascents dreamed up a way to skim business off the older company) http://www.mountainmadness.com/namerica/chimney.cfm http://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/mountaineering-guide-services.htm

There has been many many assinie threads on CC over the years. But the preceding statement could be the most assinine post on here yet. Will BD enter the windshirt market, the world wonders

A tough guy would have held that fall, and not even dropped the lighter. Link to Steve's (not his real name) discussion on ST

Yes, that is what I meant: bolt (or rivet) a sister or gusset across the fracture. Aluminum transfers heat so fast away from the electrode, that the weldor has to keep throwing the heat onto the metal. Problem is aluminum doesn't really get red hot, it just melts. So you'll be TIG'ing away, and a huge glob will just melt to nothingness. Now you have to replace 3" of flatbar

Sounds like it worked perfectly

I was never anything other than a shit pot weldor, but I spent extensive time in a trade where high quality welds and weldors of critical importance are common. That, and I kept my ears open and have a penchant for learning, so I know of which I speak. It is impossible to weld your broken snowshoe in any kind of meaningful fashion. You may find someone who could stick the metal together. In flat bar such as this, the heat affected zone of a weld will result in a stress risor that will fail in a short period of time. Not to mention that welding aluminum is very difficult in comparison to welding steel Bolt it, or take MSR up on their deal

The ledge is large and flat enough to argue that it wasn't a ground fall is specious. He basically took a grounder, and then fell off a cliff.

Maybe it's A4

Broadly true. There were three or four large and effective offenses in the Korean war. The initial NK attack, the UN counter-attack, the entrance of the Chi-coms and the UN stemming of this attack. What became clear, is that offenses were not possible in the type of war the UN was prepared to fight. The Chinese were prepared to throw human waves at the Allies, this was something the western powers could not do. You are obviously joking, correct? Truman, Bradley, Ridgeway, Marshall and later Eisenhower did a masterful job in containing this conflict as a regional problem, especially after the reckless statements by Mac Arthur. There were many Russian pilots involved, flying NK MiG. But evidence exists that on at least one occasion USN Banshees or Panthers flying off the Valley Forge engaged MiG flown and badged as USSR air force, when these MiG threatened the CV TF. Events like this could have easily involved the USSR into a shooting war, which would have involved forces in Europe. While it has never been clearly confirmed, I believe that Eisenhower threatened to use in-theatre nuclear weapons to bring this conflict to a close. This frightened the Chinese and Russians, and a cease fire was reached. Another instance where the use of nuclear weapons was contemplated was during the Pusan pocket incident, where it was feared that hundreds of thousands of UN soldiers could be captured. Some believe that we were very prepared to nuke a corridor out for ourselves and our allies. The use of nuclear weapons contemplated by Truman, Marshall, Bradley, and Eisenhower was very different than that put forth by Mac Arthur, who wished to radically expand the theatre of war thru the use of atomic weapons. To answer Rob, pragmatism is the only way to deal with problems with the Korea's.
