  1. There is no data of any kind on this that relates to climbing in any valid sense. This sort of blanket claim is ridiculous. Thirty years of experience with climbers operating at a fairly high level of [trad] performance clearly illustrates a differing reality. And just a note - pilots perform instrument landings far better on 1.5oz of alcohol - and those are from documented FAA-sanctioned studies that go back to the sixties. Of course it was a blanket statement and there is no data that relate to climbing, but if someone is stoned, they may well be impaired while climbing. Maybe we can sponsor a scientific study and we can meet to discuss the results over a bong. Or just fuck that and fire up that splif. I'm not so sure about older FAA data. Hell, we could go back and see that tobacco had all kinds of claimed benefits. Ahhhhh...lung cancer...so relaxing, so alive with pleasure. I used to ace finals in college drunk. Sober, I could have done better. I definietly do not work stoned. It makes my boring day even longer and it does impair my abilities. In general, I believe that being stoned does impair most people.
  2. What is your favored method of alpine ganja administration? Personally, I like jays on the mountain. They are light and are a self contained TCH delivery device. Fairly windproof when lit. Does not dump your hemp when tilted. Your choice of papers is also quite wide and if you have some flavor enhancers...oh...maybe something blondish or black you can crumble it in like blue cheese! Sometimes a pipe is nice, but that's all extra weight. Weight that can be better used carrying munchies. Also, what kind of ganja is important. Organicly grown. Mmmmm tasty. www.kine2b.com A nice selection above. Seriously, this new legislation may require me to climb to the lawless zone above 7000 with a MLU. Marijuana Locater Unit so I can find my way back to the tent. Doood, I was lost without my stash.
  3. Back to the subject at hand, I certainly wouldn't hunt within anyone who is stoned, particularly if they were a chimpanzee with tool making skills. Sounds like a Vice President...
  4. They could learn a lot from Hospitals.
  5. No, people do not perform better stoned. In all test performed, people were impaired in their performance. Unless they were smoking oregano. Drunk people used to believe they drove better while drunk too.
  6. Thanks for this informative little piece. I bet last night you would drop another controversial piece and "cut and run" like the pussy you are. Or maybe you prefer the comfort or a bunker. In any case, I now know that the voice is god and I can ignore his ass when he wants me to kill women or blow up federal buildings. Christians are so EVIL too. I guess God didn't really discriminate when he made every group full of assholes.
  7. It's best to climb sober when any drug will impair your abilities and decision making. This includes alcohol, pot, medications, etc... Caffeine on the other hand is a beneficial stimulant in the climbing environment. I fire up the tea in the morning and when we bivy, we fire up the rasta effects.
  8. You can tell him that exercising will improve his sexual stamina and make you an ever more satisfied wife. What guy would say no?
  9. I believe Tvash actually meant an ack ack gun, not an AK47. You know, like this: Yes, although I prefer the four barrel version. Well, what good is that? Do you know how much space the ammo will take up in the 2 car garage? You wont be able to park your car in there anymore. Second, that ammo weighs a lot. Who is going to bring the ammon over to the weapon? You gotta consider how much the little kids can carry at a time. Maybe less than 6 rounds can be carried by a 6 y.o. Even in Africa and E. Europe, most AA weapons operators are 12 or older because the warlords know how much the little kids can carry. Also keep in mind that your ability to move and evade is seriously restricted and you will need a truck to move that baby. Big target. The four barrel version will eat up ammo twice a fast. I'm still for small arms. Or, a 50 cal. BMG type weapon. hehe My two car garage is so full of junk I can't get into it anyway. An AK AK would fit perfectly on the flat pitched roof (with some beam reinforcement, perhaps). The next door neighbor even took down the beautiful doug firs that would block my line of fire (bitch!). As for reloading; if you sent out an email to all your friends saying "Hey, come on over. I've got ribs on the barbie, all the beer you can drink, and an AK AK gun that needs firing", how many reloaders do you think you'd have at your disposal? I don't know about you, but I can safely say that I could probably charge a hefty fee for the privilege. The idea of using 6 year olds to hump ammo is ludicrous. They'd been too busy mixing martinis. Good point on the 6 year olds! No use in squandering them unless you have to. Ribs....mmmmm...guns...mmm...beer...mmmm I'll pay if the ribs and beer are part of the fee.

  11. Hey sport, just having been to Somalia doesn't make you black. Most people are not white. Albinos maybe. Most CAUCASIANS I know are a shade of pink or a light tan. He never did say what kind of non-white he was? Maybe a coward yellow color. ( No, asians are not yellow)
  12. Actually, the only military people that ever impress me, or any other people in positions of power or authority or wealth or simply any kind of accomplishment, are those that never ever feel the need to brag or proclaim their deeds or accomplishments. You, sir, strike me as someone in serious need of constant validation. As is often said 'money talks, but wealth whispers'. Seems to me serving your country is the supreme selfless act and not one you get to trot out whenever you disagree with someone's protests about your country's actions. Or did you only join the military so you could blow shit up? Met plenty of those, unfortunately. You people are soliciting this sort of response. Now when you get the answer you don't like you try to shoot someone's personal credibility apart. I did not serve in Iraq. But I did serve in the Mog and the blood started spilling before we even left the USA. I called in the first medevac as we unceremoniously concluded some tirehouse training and watched PV2 XXX take his last breath waiting for the blackhawk. There were several other members in my platoon which made larger sacrifices than boneheads on the internet trying to play out the acts war from their keyboards thousands of miles away. Validation is key when you want to talk about any subject and claim some sort of understanding about the matter at hand. The pathetic example here was trying to suggest that I might have a problem explaining reasoning for death to family members at home. Let me tell you that I have done this. I looked the widow in the eye and could only offer a few humble words to her and the less than one year old infant son he left behind. Two days before I was busy cleaning his blood from the eyelets of my boots and recalled the entire incident over and over again. Within a few weeks we were seeing firefights and skirmishes on a daily basis. There were plenty of people that never came home from that trashpile too. I would say that it more than qualifies me to respond and tell him what a jackass he really is. So get off your trip about explaining death. The only trashpile I see is the pile of idiots here that think they know about spilling blood and the families which have to deal with it. My first hand service alone; side by side as a comrade puts me far above bottom feeders which come in here and think they can politicize me into a corner about this thing. OK, you're a crackhead. I know of no veteran that wants to dicuss, let alone tell a story about what happened in combat to non-combatants or even their wives. Your behaviour is suspect. Very, very suspect. If you really need to re-live that episode, then you should get a shrink at the VA. This is the wrong place for you to work out your PTSD issues. You are just a very distasteful person.
  13. I'm interested in what capacity you have served and where. Did you want to share with us? Or can we just assume that you are the outspoken type of coward that is too much of a pansy to actually serve? Please go ahead and cite all of my frequent bragging outbursts one by one. You've come onto these threads and made several accusations of racism and now you want to target my credibility when it comes to matters of discussion war and death. Have you ever had you BDUs spattered with blood from your fellow squad members? Have you ever had to call in a medevac and watch your battle buddy take his last breath before medical help arrived? I didn't think so. You're fucking kidding right? Your source is the NY SUN? People in NYC laugh at that rag. So you served, so what? I did too and no one cares. Trying to justify your position by saying you served is not exactly relevant. You simply want to gain some credibility to make your shit stink nice. Transparent. Yeah, I've seen shit and had shit hapen to me. So what? For purposes of your argument. Who cares. Just because you served makes you no better than anyone else or entitles you to act like you earned some special priviledge or have some secret information that trumps everything else. You are the asswipe that brought in your service record to bolster your credibility. YOU. Even with that, your actions are questionable. You drop bombs and leave like a coward. I'm sure that's why you stayed in your bunker. Why don't you go sob over a beer and enjoy your Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is really not the place for you to get therapy.
  14. Who the fuck were those wannabes? I want to avoid climbing with them or avoid the mountain they are on. These people just seem like pure bad luck or they have too much money and not enough brains to be buying GPS units and not know how to use them at a critical moment. A critical moment. I can not see that they fell 500feet. Where? did I miss a cliff or something? They should have corrected the issue of the fall, but either they wanted to appear even more badass or were they so fucking clueless that they had no idea how far they rolled/fell. Maybe that newfangled GPS was set to record a track. But hey, you sit there with a shit eating grin and don't bother to set the record straight or perhaps even rebutt the "mandatory MLU" folks. But noooooo....you were on TV. Good for you. I hope you got paid for your 15 minutes of infamy. These guys are probably alive because modern society has mitigated the effects of natural selection. And this one scenario had plenty of opportunities to allow for different decisions and a different outcome, IF someone was thinking. Such as getting off the mountain while you can. But no......they had a MLU, GPS, compass and map, etc...and in the end, it took a cell phone call to save them.
  15. But this only works below 32 degrees F. Or the shit smells bad. Works good, smells bad. I have never seen sled dogs wearing any type of sun protection. They mushers wear eye protection but never the dogs. I think their fur provides some measure of protection against non-image forming light that reflects off the snow. I forgot my sunglasses once on a hood climb. I summited without sunglasses but when I got back to the car I was in pain for the night. The thing that worries me now is that I have increased my chances to get a nice cataract later in life. Something to look forward to I guess.
  16. Yeah, it is a magnet. For some strange reason people do not give Hood a much respect as a higher mountain. Beats the hell out of me why. I guess it's just natural selection. What needs to be done is a press release that clarifies the specualtion going around. This needs to come from a credible organization, such as PMR (good for more donations), Mazamas, The Mountaineers, AAI, etc... But they seem to be very quiet on this issue. Why?
  17. Wow, those are expensive lighters. I had no idea. I got a bic mini three pack for $3.50 at wallgreens just before I headed out. It was a little windy on the mt but after several tries, it lit and I lit my stove with it. I also don't trust piezo ignition lighters above sea level. I like the mechanical flintwheel on the bic mini. And there are a few safety matches on me, just in case the bic mini dies.
  18. No sign. Probably part of a glacier. Could find the remains next summer or when the glacier pops them out.
  19. You can get all that if you live outside of California. I would not get the AK if I lived in N. America. I would get an M-16 variant that can handle the most available caliber in that area. NATO 5.56mm would be it. You can also get them in 5.56mm/.223 chamber that can handle the millitary and civillian versions of the round. Small, lightweight cartridge, accurate at human fighting distances, round cost, body armor penetrating projectiles, hunting for edible animals, protection from large predators, etc.. many advantages. Probably the best fit for N. America in the coming Great Social Upheval scenario. There will also be lots of easily available spare parts. Guns don't kill guns, guns kill people.
  20. I'm gonna start climbing with women.

    Dog on Hood

    Long enough to skewer the dog and still hold the axe over a fire and not get your hands burnt. It's breed dependent.

    Hehe... one has an active culture. Oh, Cannabis! Can you tell I love BC.
  23. Impressive Maple Leaf codpiece.
